I read your post and the article, but don't recognize either my argument or the argument the parent article is making. Nowhere does the article say to abolish punishment for crimes, and I'm certainly not calling for the abolishment of punishment for crimes. Rather, look at Mark's example. By not saying, "forget this, I'm going back to selling drugs", he is making what is perhaps an unreasonable decision from many viewpoints. Crime is already normalized in many communities, because of internal and external factors, and those communities are suffering for it. The article is pointing out that deficiencies in parenting due to incarceration are a significant contributor to the continuation of crime.

I'm additionally pointing out that when you said a reasonable human being won't commit crime, that does not seem to be to be the case. There are plenty of reasons why a reasonable human being will come to the conclusion that it is reasonable to commit crimes, especially when those making a solid effort not to commit crime can be arbitrarily punished for someone else's mistake.
According to the blog post Chrome has the same issue, they just haven't investigated yet.
maybe check out https://trakt.tv/, I have been using it for more than 3 years and it's absolutely amazing. It even has multiple mobile apps, I personally use SeriesGuide on my android phone.
They're still trying this? As the article pointed out, it was tried before in Germany and Spain with terrible results for the publishers.

I say go ahead and pass the law, then see what happens. If the publishers want it so much, let them have it. Let's see how many go out of business.

No.

Natural selection is mechanism, evolution is what is performed by that mechanism. So, yes, they witnessed both evolution and natural selection in action.

> No genes were created/destroyed.

AFAICT, that's just your speculation, not established fact. EDIT: And, in any case, irrelevant to whether evolution was observed.
But they can offer so little pay in the first place because we've created a huge oversupply of people willing to do the work.

I call bullshit. If you put such a strong statement out there you better back it up. I'd like to supply you with a quote from an actual study:

Yes fine, but even a mediocre politician knows how to avoid being called racist, sexist, and especially fascist.
I would think that you could find a well-known artist who would be willing to consult on improving a product, especially if they got to have someone implement their pet features the way they want them to be implemented. But the question is - are the tools good enough to even get there or are there so many missing or poorly implemented features that it would be a full rewrite (at least of the UI) to even start?
I've visited the NYC office for dinner a few times. There's no DJ booth, nor a rooftop bar, nor free gym memberships (according to a friend), nor go bags.

There's a rooftop patio, as many buildings in the area have, and gym subsidies as most tech companies have. I've been told they have emergency readiness kits (which are advocated by every level of government in every jurisdiction), but they're definitely not at the desks (or they are, but invisible).

How are any of these criticisms distinct from Google, which owns an entire street block (no joke street to street, Ave to Ave)? I've had more than a few meals there as well and it's pretty much the same situation as far as I can tell.
It's a leading question, not begging the question. Begging the question would be "sex is fun because of X, and X always happens because sex is fun"
Thanks, and by the way this is honestly how it has worked for me.

DNS (and bind in particular) is one of those things that most people don't give a second thought to when deploying their infrastructure. "Good enough" is typically where the bar is set.. does it respond to queries?, handle my forwarding/zone looksup? done!

I'm guessing the reason this article was posted, and the feature was added (in 2013 mind you) was due to the malicious way DNS servers have been abused in the last decade, and the recent mentions by bruce schneier around the attacks on global dns infrastructure (perhaps they leverage absuing recursive queries or something? i dont know). It's sort of like BCP38, good net citizens should be doing this, not for their own networks protection, but for everyone else.
This is what Firefox ESR is for IIRC.
The problem is partly brought on by technology. For example, the apartment complex which requires 3 months' deposit for felons can only do so because court records have been converted to indexed databases on networked systems, so it is easy and cheap for the apartment owner to pull Mark's criminal history.

In the past, the openness of court records was balanced by the difficulty of figuring out the right courthouse, physically driving there and going over stacks of dusty paper files. Technology has destroyed that balance; citizens can no longer expect any degree of privacy with respect to their history with the criminal justice system.

As a society we need to strike a balance between the privacy of individual defendants, the necessity of open records as a check on the government's power, and the apartment owner's right to set criteria for their tenants.

Why log?

I get that your utility function from money is non-linear, but I would expect a more accurate model to be a step-function, with large steps at "out of debt", "can tell a bad boss sayonara", "can buy a house", "can pay for kids' college eduaction", and "never have to work again". Equity payouts from a typical startup exit often line up nicely with the middle three, and if you hit the Google/Facebook jackpot, sometimes the last.
Here's a quite specific answer from Philip Larkin:

Sexual intercourse began
In nineteen sixty-three
(which was rather late for me) -
Between the end of the Chatterley ban
And the Beatles' first LP.

(from https://allpoetry.com/Annus-Mirabilis)

It doesn't answer the fun part, though, because Larkin was known to have a tedious love life.
> I'd reserve 'evolved' to describe something more dramatic.

Well, yes, but they did describe something more dramatic, changing beak sizes.

More akin to your father's side having large noses, and your mother's side tiny noses. That is, consider a larger portion of the population for traits. The specific traits of individuals tend to come and go.

A classic case of opportunism wrapped in the "someone had to do it" excuse.
"Some people" in this care are the Competitive Space Task Force, a "coalition of leading conservative and libertarian thinkers from organizations committed to creating a free and competitive market for U.S. spaceflight". As one would expect from an organization with that particular point of view, they believe the SLS is a complete boondoggle and private industry should do the work.

I wish there were a more neutral source of information. The best I have found is Wikipedia, which obviously has its own limitations. Bill Nye is for it, the Planetary Society was against it, but is no longer against it.

I don't know. Why it is necessary for US taxpayers to pay for this OR subsidize companies like SpaceX is a mystery to me. Spend the money on something that will have a greater impact on the lives of those paying the bill.
But wouldn't this encourage the rich to spend overseas? They would pay no tax on their income, and then they'd be free to go and spend it abroad in countries where there is an income tax, but no/lower consumer tax.
The distribution is what they really need to include. The average view time doesn't mean much when the distribution is super skewed, which it's likely to be for these ads.

If 0.1% watch all 30 seconds, 0.9% watch to 28 seconds and quit at the credits, and the rest all watch 0.2 seconds as they scroll through, that tells you something that "Average watch time = 0.5 seconds" doesn't tell you. Especially if last week, no one watched the whole thing, but a bunch of people watched for 2 seconds and then quit, and your average was 0.9 seconds.
I'm willing to bet you're not including compromised backbone routers and symmetrical gigabit-fiber connections. There's enough of the latter in the USA, to homes, to do that much and then some.

At 10 years in, this isn't a conflation--these are just equivalent.

...and this makes sense for some early-stage startups. But Twitter isn't an early-stage startup.
If anything, my only sadness is that more of Google's dirty laundry wasn't aired. This illusion that Google search is winning because people prefer it and that Google doesn't make money on Android are both claims I'm happy to see debunked. Google's anti-monopoly claims fundamentally hinge on concepts like these.

And if a lawyer did break the law by doing it, I say she belongs on the same high pedestal people put Snowden on.
This is how most evolution happens. Over a long period of time, lots of mutations will accumulate in the population. Genetic diversity increases, and you get lots of variations of different traits. But these new genes don't necessarily improve fitness a lot, they just don't decrease it enough to be selected away.

Then something happens that changes the environment. Selection pressure increases, and the mutated genes are suddenly selected for at a much higher rate and come to fixate in the population. And if that happens to multiple genes, the changes can be quite dramatic. Even though all the genes existed before in the population, they didn't all exist together, or in most of the population.
Google is being plain old Evil.
Why the hell is their expense that high? 350 million users, sure it's a lot. Plus they have to store the messages for a long time and it's not like a text message but more like a group chat. Still, most of their expense can't be going towards their tech stack but headcount. Anyone that takes over the company is going to be doing massive layoffs. They should do it their self and become profitable or else someone is going to do it and run of their good folks in the process. They are about to become the new Yahoo if they don't turn themselves around quickly.

The pendulum hasn't swung far enough, because the predominant meme on HN (because it benefits the YC model directly!) is that investors and founders are kinda sorta the same class, and early employees and everyone else can eat shit and die ("Graduate to better things").

These same folks will balk at a few points of stock, will backload options so folks're basically handcuffed to a desk for a few years until vested, and will buy into the rubbish pushed by Scott Kupor that explicitly views early employees as obstacles to be stripped of their equity to fuel later growth ("Are there any other management practices where one would optimize for former employees at the expense of current employees?").

This exploitation is slowly getting the results it deserves.

> Equity aligns your incentives with the company and ensures that if it does well, you do well.

There is not a strong correlation between how well the company does and how well you personally do. You can be relieved of your options through contractual shenanigans, you can be put (even with this bill) in a place where you can't afford to exercise them within their window, you can be burned out or injured to the point where you have to leave and then the company reaps the benefits of your work and you don't.

Moreover, your incentives are never aligned with the company, because companies are utter sociopaths and fear no backlash from screwing you over if it makes economic sense. You will almost never legally be in a strong enough position to fight the company with its resources if you find yourself in a bad place--unless the company has grossly fucked up. There can be no meaningful alignment of incentives under such an environment.

> Under capitalism, taking cash is a loser's bargain, not in the sense that you always make less money (you often make more), but in the sense that cash dominates equity only if you've picked a losing organization.

This is a gross over-simplification. If you are unable to maintain a large enough equity chunk, you may not make more than a salary would've provided. If the company stock tanks, you may not make more than a salary would've provided. The idea of "a losing organization" just isn't very useful here, because a lot of organizations "lose" for any number of reasons--unless the definition here is being picked as "an organization whose equity is worth more than salary", which is a cop-out.

How Nuclear Power Contributes to Global Warming
It's a general-purpose OS. Do whatever you normally do on it.

More importantly, it's a learning tool. It's been part of many courses and many rounds of Google Summer of Code. It's an embeddable kernel + OS free of the cancerous GPL, under a permissive MIT licence. It is extremely well documented, well tested, and consistent. Writing drivers for it is very simple. This makes it interesting for education, for-profit development, embedded applications, etc...

It's also just fun. There is a very active forum[1], wiki[2], and community[3] that has been spiting out hobby OSs for a decade. The kernel originally used in Haiku is from NewOS, a project by Travis Geiselbrecht that was also just a hobby project.

Ask HN: Why are humanity's large systems failing?
Whether you're talking about the crash of '08, the inaction on global warming, antibiotic resistance, or the Syrian refugee crisis, it appears pretty plain to me that while humanity has many skills setting up large,sustaining human systems/organizations is not one of them.

I know this is isn't strictly IT related, but as an IT person systems of all kinds fascinate me and we build these software systems for use by humans so I always felt that understand people goes hand-in-hand with building good software/hardware systems.

Anyways, thoughts anyone?

Show HN: Code Golf
I have a few friends who I regular smoke a cigar with, sometimes as often as once a week when the weather is really nice but usually at least once every 4-6 weeks even in the winter.

1) The taste is objectively better. Sure some aren't great but even when I smoked a pack of day many years ago I always smoke menthol because I thought regular cigarettes tastes like ashes (imagine that).

2) No noticeable effect on breathing. I often could feel it in my chest after having multiple cigarettes back-to-back or at the end of a day of heavy smoking. Never had that problem with a cigar, even after having two back-to-back.

3) Social. Very few people smoke a cigar by themselves. For me it's a social event. I sit around a table with friends and beer and we talk about whatever we want for the 60-90 minutes we're there.

This article just sounds like every other time someone complains about the generation that came after them. I'm sure to her, the conservatives seemed like the ones enforcing conformity in the 60's and 70's, but the view on the right at the time was the left was the one enforcing conformity.
I've never smoked a cigarette so I really don't know how to compare them, but I personally find them a great way to relax and wind down, even though you're not inhaling you will absorb nicotine through your mouth. And then there's the flavour, the best comparison there I can give is it's a bit like single malt scotch, if you give someone who has no experience of spirits a 20 year old speyside Single malt chances are they're just going to think it's fire water initially, someone with more experience is going to really appreciate what they're drinking, their palette is more tuned to Scotch and they'll pick out flavours the newbie can't.
