that's a good point -- i suspect the s&p 500 receives so much attention in comparison to any particular individual stock that there is very probably little change to fish out of its couch cushions
One concern with this line of argumentation: reasonable people shouldn't have to change their behavior, but rational people might want to.

That is, suppose you believe (as I do) that D.T. and his supporters are quite dangerous. If they are using my behavior to gain strength, it behooves me to change my behavior!

Thiel has stated that giving women the vote was a bad idea.

Basically he believes in the rest of the country outside the city and the old ways in which they were not so desperate. Its not hard to understand or be somewhat compassionate.

We are trying to exert our "power" to get rid of him, and in the exact same way he is exerting his "power."
Yes, but that's very hard work and quite a few of the people that moved to the territories to participate in the boom there already lost their shirt due to the prolonged drop in the price of oil. Alberta is a bit different because the extraction is easier.

You can make money in lumber, oil, mining, fishing and lots of other industries but it will not be 'easy' money by any definition, and if you get out without injury then you should consider yourself lucky. Long days, very hard work.
> I, personally, absolutely refuse to use cloud storage of my photographs (or any data, really) that doesn't involve client-side encryption. Am I actually that concerned about my photographs themselves? No, not really — but it is the principle of the thing, as well as uncertainty about what the future might bring.

> I feel the same way about my location history and other data. Can I guarantee that no government or employer for the rest of my life will penalise me for having attended a political meeting, a church or anything else? I really don't think so.

>...

> Once given to someone else, data can never be pulled back. None of us can know the future, and so it makes sense to be as conservative as possible about what we let go of.

Although I struggle many a times to convey this to people in a way they would understand the implications of, this is the reason why I use SpiderOak to backup photos and other files (I do have a few dislikes about the SpiderOak backup solution and the client application). Even there, some sensitive data is actually in an encrypted volume file (encrypted before the SpiderOak client re-encrypts it). I also have multiple offline backups on external drives (though none being off-site) because I have faced data loss due to hardware failures before and I know that doing regular backups is the best way to reduce risks.

I'm also planning to move out of Dropbox, which I mainly use to store some re-downloadable content from elsewhere.
I think its a lot more than 25%. In Sweden where I work, people are relaxed at their jobs. Coming in at 8.30 am and leaving at 4.30 pm with a full lunch break in the middle is normal. Taking a couple of coffee breaks or ping pong matches and chatting with collegues is normal. There is casual talk all day long and bosses are also leaving work early to pick up children, spend time with the family and just enjoy their lives. I think something around 35 hours is what we do around here, but getting payed for 40 of course.

The American culture honestly seems totally crazy to me. There is a massive difference in how you view yourselves over there. If you dont succeed at making some kind of a career, you feel like losers? Please step out of the matrix a little bit guys. Life is not getting some position in a company so you can work even more. Its about finding happiness.

MP3 works out to about 1MB/minute. That's 128,000 minutes of music, or about 2133 hours, or 133 days if you listen to music 16 hours/day, every day.

Are you sure you want that much music to lug around?
You caught me!

Confession? I had a better surrounding blurb explaining takt time, because people who read my (once a year) posts get off on the nerdery, but it was clunky, so I sort of inaccurately dropped it in with a link to the real definition to let people explore the term on their own.

I haven't seen this before. No URL can be posted twice afaik, so hackermoon.com must be doing something odd with their URLs. My apologies.
I think a look at reddit shows that you can trust crowdsourced news much less than say, the NYT or WaPo.

Twitter's a bit different, there are good reporters on the ground who tweet a lot, but Twitter is terrible at actual aggregation.

Honestly, a dedicated newsroom is better.
There's no philosopher you can't enlist in the support of any view if you quote them out of context (also: you could have done far better in finding a quote to deploy here; try searching On Liberty for the word "opinion").

Im certainly not saying criticism is wrong but 'having to fear the repercussions' goes further - i assume from all sides this meant the articles reference to YC potentially severing ties with thiel. All im pointing out is that this is a freedom of speech issue - whatever side you want to weigh in on. Broadly i agree with your views on Trump and interpretation of Mill
> brags

I think that if any other celebrity said what he said, you'd think it's a little off color, but not bragging about criminal actions. His statements verbatim do not imply anything criminal, unless you fill in extra words yourself.

If you don't hate the guy, you could easily fill in extra words the other way, that is, to make it sound like he's saying something less ambiguous and more reasonable.

In huge portions of the US, taxis are considered a weird/shitty thing that most people wouldn't use. This applies to most places that are not major metro areas in my experience.
Yes, it is equivalent. The fact that you are deluded to think that you can change anybody's mind by repeating this "racism xenophobia sexual assault" mantra which literally everybody has already heard million times by now just shows that you are equally stuck in your ways and irrational as the people you oppose. It's knee jerking on both sides.

And, speaking of Obama, you guys reminded me of this beauty created during the previous campaign:

So we can have Trump-o-meter.

1. start World War 3
2. legalize rape
3. eradicate Islam
4. enslave Blacks

... any ideas?

We'll track his progress and see how far he goes.

Trump is a joke. A level 666 troll. If I were you, I'd be more worried about the number of pissed off people who just waited for someone like him.

I was not an early fan of the Ipod. I was already on my 2nd generation of MP3 player at that point. I wanted SPACE. I wanted to be able to carry all my music with me. I have never been able to do that. The best I have at this point is the ability to stream all my music. But that requires an internet connection and unlimited data. Additionally, I found iTunes to be atrocious--still do.

I will say I have an ipod nano that is about 10 years old that is useful for when I am working outside.
This question is probably ill-formed, but once we have working quantum computers, does it become easier to cryptanalyze SHA-3 for algorithmic weaknesses?
and you think that disproves the point? an efficiency in a market can grow the market

so it is more applicable to simply assume it is "blatantly true" until you prove it isn't, as well as find all of the incumbents that were obliterated
Does this help?

login(username, password)
User = GetUser(username)
Hash1 = Hash(User.Salt + password)
Salt2 = BlindHash(Hash1)
Hash2 = Hash(Salt2 | Hash1)
return Hash2 == User.Hash
If you had the ability to quickly get the plaintext from a hash, dont you have the greatest compression algorithm on earth? Just hash that 10 gig file, send the hash, and have the other machine "break" it. Collisions notwithstanding of course.
Sounds like the author was expecting a bit to much from the assistant software that comes with the phone and judged the entire phone based on that.

The article was mostly a rant about software.
That may have been an argument in setting the date, but Disney was the real driver of it. The reason it's 70 years after the death of the creator is because Mickey Mouse was in danger of becoming public domain again, so they added years to the law.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find any instances of people committing murder for IP reasons.
> Do you trust yourself to store things safely without data loss (even in the face of theft, house fires and natural disasters) more than the multi-level redundancy employed in the cloud?

No: I encrypt my data locally, using protocols I believe/hope are strong enough, and then upload the encrypted data to cloud storage providing multi-level redundancy.

Right now, this is a somewhat painful process, since Google (quite deliberately, I think — 'Don't Be Evil' is now but a fading memory) choose not to facilitate it, but there's no reason why it shouldn't be as simple and straightforward as using the cloud without encryption.

Key management isn't really that difficult: have one master key, stored encrypted under the highest-strength passphrase one can remember, accessible using trusted client software (i.e. not something running in a browser). Done.
To be fair, you can use something like CyanogenMod to extend the life of updates beyond the natural lifespan.

CyanogenMod still supports the 10/2013 Nexus 4 in 2016.
>There is no more a 'me versus them' situation in space development.

There absolutely is and frankly its the only thing that's ever worked - competition. Before it was between nation states and now it will be between corporations, which is going to be much more efficient. We are entering a new age of space travel here where nation states take a backseat to big centrally planned government programs, at least in the US.
If Thiel were an employee of Altman's, I might agree with you. He's not, so I haven't had to pick this apart so much. Thiel's relationship with Altman is more akin to a large NASCAR decal's relationship with a a race car. I'm simply urging Altman to peel the sticker off, at least until he's successful in convincing his friend to stop supporting American Fascism.

Why can't all of this be patched in npm ? Why do we have to create a new tool every time ?

It makes no sense and honestly makes me want to tear my hairs.
Feel free to argue the point.
there is a correlation but that does not mean the jobs are elastic. it is not reasonable to assume that higher paid workers can simply switch jobs or even career paths simply to trade available free time for lower compensation.
Sacrificing the ideals of journalism sounds like a bad deal for democracy. But then again, if people would rather be entertained by whatever is in their filter bubble for five minutes, than be challenged, I guess that's the kind of news world we get.
I'm in the process of moving to Toronto from the US. Any tips on good tech companies to work for. :)
But that's in support of my point that perhaps they don't mean it the way you want them to not yours that they really believe that Trump is a threat to democracy.
So when is Javascript not going to be in an experimental phase? A couple of years ago it would have been 'when browsers support ES6'. Now it's 'when browsers support ES7'. Next year it's going to be 'when browsers support ES8'.

A little Googling seem to suggest that this figure is somewhat representative: the US has slightly more mobility than the UK, which have less mobility than most of Europe:

Yes, they are highly desirable to people that are non-ambitious and strongly risk averse, which includes a non-trivial percentage of the population. For a certain kind of person, those jobs are perfect; the pay and opportunity isn't great but the risk and level of effort is also low. I've worked in these organizations before; the people that take these jobs don't want much out of life, just looking to coast.

But most Americans find government jobs to be unfulfilling and stifling for exactly the same reason -- it is a dead-end. I know it is different in other countries but "government job" has mixed connotations in the US.
nice reply, a lot better than the dictation that europe and vacation are the real way to live.

i work for myself. i generally get to my office around 5am, leave at 230pm, spend around 4 hours every weekday with my wife and kids. i ski mid-week in the winter when there's fresh powder. i'll log research hours on the weekend. i have health insurance, savings, and happiness. i like my work and consider my hours logged a little light, but closer to adequate than 26 or 22 or whatever that bloomberg article says (50 - 60 a wk).
Yeah, I wasn't trying to recommend them. They just did the leg work of digging up the quotes and putting them on a single (huge) page for linking, which I thought was what you were asking for.
"But each fall, usually in October, the city and the crown perform the same exchange, for no particular reason other than that they always have."

It's tempting to laugh at this silliness, but 1000 years from now coders will still be putting the open curly brace in C code on a separate line for no particular reason other than that they always have.
I bought that phone in 2014 with a broken screen and was intending to repair it and flip it. I ended up keeping it.
That phone was amazing. Voice commands just worked so well. When I was driving and issued a command it would know I was driving and therefore enable the speaker.
It also supported what Google now terms "trusted voice"(lets me issue command when locked and it would do it only for my voice alone), something that my Nexus 6 doesn't and for no good reason since the Snagdragon in it supports this.

Its too bad the replacement screen crapped out
Garbage Tax. There should be a Garbage Tax on all manufacturers, distributors and resellers of non-recyclable/non-bio-degradable/non-bio-consumable products. We're all paying for the externalized cost of waste management but the ones who should be paying for it (and penalized for it) are the one who are profiting from it (all those who manufacture, distribute and sell non-reusable products that externalize the waste management cost to the rest of us)
Sometimes, perhaps. But not if that change in behavior itself gives support and comfort to bigotry, deception, and authoritarianism, as it would here.
This is not HN quality IMO, and I'm newish here.

People think hating trump supporters is the cool thing to do and probably would put their life on the line against him. How crazy is that?

No longer is one even attempting to respect or even research another point of view. No time for that. Don't you realize that the only goal is to divide the people and remove focus from what actually matters?

The whole US politics is now about showing how the other candidate character is the most horrible and any lie is fair game, on any side.

The owner of basically all media wins the war - and thats not exactly surprising either.
Marine Le Pen is polling above 30% in France (in the same type of polls that understated Brexit). It's a stretch to claim that "nobody cares" because clearly there is significant discontent being expressed politically.
I'm not asserting that in any way Obama is perfect and have no problem with people criticizing his actions. I do take issue with comparing opposition of Obama based on his race with opposition of Trump based on his positions.

It does not follow that because a black president did an acceptable job that any president would do an acceptable job. Nor is opposing a president for being black morally equivalent to opposing a president for the things he says he wants to do.
Methane can be used as fuel, so can be converted back into energy and CO2.

CO is more troublesome as it is converted into ozone in presence of sunlight and hydroxide ions.
Italians have the opposite problem - too much spare time (at least, all at once). When I lived in Italy I was astonished that the entire country could effectively shut down for an entire month (ferragosto). I mean, come on, at least stagger your vacations so that everyone doesn't take leave all at the same time...

It doesn't weigh any more.

The point is that it's nice having the full selection available, and to not have to worry about streaming and compression quality, which I don't always have control over. Deciding which music should or shouldn't be on the phone is a task I'd like to minimize, as well.

The alternative is just as bad even if she's not as flagrant about being a criminal. Trust in "American Democracy" should be undermined because it's a garbage concept. It's all about whoever gets people like you to ignore their side's crimes and shout about how horrible the other side is.

"Funding Trump, especially at this scale, represents general support of what Trump has said and done." - That's a pretty big logical leap. Would a person who supports Hillary "generally support" flippant top-secret email handling?

Let's be logical: I think we can all agree that a person can support a candidate while not supporting every word they speak or action they take.
Depending on the country, SD cards may be used to share media, like photos, music, videos, etc., and to also copy media from others and play them on one's phone. Yes, it's very slow, but many people who use them don't know and don't care as much about the speed.

SD cards are also not very reliable, but again, many people who use them don't consider that to be critically important.
Doesn't matter when you have CAs known to have backdated certificates to avoid the SHA-1 deadline and all they get is a temporary suspension with none of their issued certs being revoked. The weak point of PKI is not the crypto, it's the CAs, of which there are too many and for whom there is little to no accountability.
Energy density is great, but for most current usecases I'd argue it's not really necessary. It's neither needed in your home (lots of space to put batteries, is connected to a power line), nor for your daily commute, nor for agriculture, nor for heavy industry (even better power lines), nor for long distance land based transport (trains are just as good and can be electrified easily) which covers the largest energy consumers right there. It is very useful for long distance individual travel by car (so, get a Chevy Volt instead of a Tesla) as well as airplanes, rockets and ocean shipping. If we'd just use the remaining fossil fuel for those purposes it would be pretty easy to be carbon negative.
Maybe someday professional basketball players will stop moonlighting as phone designers and we'll get reasonably sized screens again.
This is the end consequence of tremendous cowardice from a lot of people over a long time, starting with the owners and administrators of Hacker News.

HN has – through inaction – smirkingly enabled alt-right/NRx/GamerGaters to parody-thru-libel liberal positions on equality for a long time; supporting Peter Thiel is in the same vein. That's made Hacker News racist, sexist, and (worst of all for this crowd's self-image), stupid.

For a bunch of "disruptors", they're blind to the systemic effects of that set of decisions to the point of parody. Well, the only conclusion to be drawn: the Y Combinator partners (and the companies they fund) don't care sufficiently about society to be people I want to work with. Makes my decisions easier!
My biggest advice is build a web page not an app. It's easier for people to find and access because all you need is to print the URL on a handbill and hand those out on a busy street. And all the web page needs is a phone number so that people can call in an order for a healthy salad. As a bonus, you get to talk to them and find out what they want before going to the trouble of building an automatic ordering system or even taking photos of salads because those things don't matter if people aren't interested in ordering a healthy salad.

Goog luck.
What good is cookware if you have no kitchen? If you rent a furnished place with a kitchen there's a reasonable chance it'll have the cookware you need. If you have a permanent residence then the cookware needed to create thousands of dishes could fit in a single cupboard.
> if a newspaper company wanted to make a real splash on the Web, it would be better off inventing an original website—the next Business Insider or BuzzFeed—and not remodel its newspaper copy.

I have to disagree with Chyi here—"create the next BuzzFeed" is not a strategy; it's extremely hard, competitive and they don't have the skills to even attempt it.

That said, I think there's a strong argument for having never put anything online, or at least behind a strong paywall with no trials. That way they could have maintained an air of premium information instead of going head to head with a gazillion clickbait factory paying peanuts to underemployed college grads.

Of course the problem is this is all hypothetical, and if someone had made this bet they'd be getting hung out to dry based on the declining revenues even if they wouldn't have been as bad as they ended up being in our current reality. In other words, it was just too risky a bet to not try to "win the web" even though it is a race to the bottom newspapers are ill-equipped to compete in.

Corrected my comment.
Editors aren't also professionals who work with the journalists? What you're advocating for is a lot of amateur voices with limited resources in comparison and a plethora of personal agendas. It's more democratic than having a few professional curators. But is that better?
The problem is: Trump supporters just cannot comprehend how non-white people and immigrants are terrified and scared of Trump.
Both. I guess the issue is that freelancing is not a thing here. Those that get into webdev through a company (especially marketing or nice startups) seem to be doing really well, but they are few to my knowledge.
A bit disappointing to see you're being down-voted, based on a glance at that wp article, it links to a lot of relevant research (and the gp's statement can hardly be seen as controversial to anyone that's paid even cursory attention to social (in)equality and social studies in the past decades?).

It'd be interesting to see a breakdown of the UK on the various countries though.
Right. So, professional journalists with experience, and who are anything but anonymous.
