It looks like a blog would also suffice. Although I had the same initial reaction: it feels like a rather overzealous exclusion.

I can't recommend this book enough. As a long-time Vim user, I still learned a few things after reading this book. Drew Neil is a pretty awesome person too.
Nobody is calling for getting rid of society.

The fact that you even think this makes me wonder if you're even a "techie".
I think this site got slashdotted.
What's unique about this time in history is the degree of transparency and information we have available...

> Our government, in the last 8 years, used remotely operated drones to carry out extrajudicial killings of American citizens -- including a teenage boy.

Governments have done all manner of terrible things to their own people and others throughout history. What's new in this era is it's becoming harder and harder to hide such acts.

That means, as a citizenry, we're collectively confronted with topics which, in the past, were kept hidden from us. That in turn means we have more "triggers" of fearful responses, and of course industries are growing to exploit that, but ultimately we're talking about something which is a Good Thing(TM).
It isn't so much the source of the radiation, as it is what your body does with the material. When you eat a banana, your body gains additional potassium, and over the next several days your kidneys will expel that excess. So, your exposure to the tiny amount of Potassium-40 in the banana is very brief. OTOH, your body treats the Strontium-90 in nuclear fallout like calcium, depositing it in your bones and bone marrow subjecting you to continuous radiation exposure. Likewise Iodine-131 will concentrate in the thyroid.
The US gov/Obama must be really pissed off he's trying to bring Clinton down (I hope it's obvious this wasn't just a UK-only decision - it's never been a UK-only decision to keep Assange sequestrated there anyway).
Since 1980 and especially since 2000, people have learned that buying into a crash will be rewarded within 2-3 years because of central bank response.

They think "you can't loose with stocks long-term", which I believe is largely correct. But they have lost all historical perspective on what "long-term" has occasionally meant. And they underestimate the interim carnage in those instances (1930s, 1970s).
In my experience, most native English speakers are easily confused about who vs whom, and avoid whom by rephrasing:

That's pretty tiring. Easier to just throw seeds into the ground and let it grow. You can just pick it much more easily.

Agreed - although something about how the author has written their summaries sets off all my "I'm very deliberately being given a one-sided version of this story" alarms.

Yup, mostly evangelicals believe this.

Pensioners contributed through all their life to society and when they retire, it is expected that they are taken care of.

The OP is talking about cases where you are not in retirement, and not disabled, the society expects you to pull your own weight. It is only fair, no?
As a Polish immigrant, I personally think "singular they" is worse, because it creates ambiguity where there doesn't need to be any... which makes things a bit more confusing. Meanwhile, I think my proposed alternative is native to most other languages, and should translate fairly easily.

I'm not sure I see the point in thinking this long and hard about pronouns, but to each his own.
> My friend said "how much did you pay for Windows 10." I said "nothing, it's free update." then he said "There you go."

You paid for the original system that you updated from. If you are outside the 30-day window (which you are, because the free offer is over for more than 30 days), you cannot go back to the old system.

So you didn't get the system for free, you exchanged it for the old one. Just the act of the exchange was free, which does not make the system free.

Newly bought Windows 10 licenses are not free either.
The csharp REPL is actually a fairly decent substitute for LinqPad. It can pull in 3rd party libraries, has autocomplete, and is all around quite nice to use. You don't get the automatically generated ORM against your database, but if you mostly use it to test code snippets or as a shell scripting substitute, you might be surprised by how little you miss it.

When we migrated all of our .NET development to Linux where I work, I thought I'd have to at least keep a Windows VM around so I could continue using LinqPad, but the csharp REPL has pretty much sufficed for everything I do on a regular basis.
How do you suggest Sweden should interview him? Attack an embassy?
There are always inflation adjusted treasury bonds. There are also non stock based investment options, though harder to do.
When the state takes such invasive action, it needs to pass a very high bar. Even with the best intentions, state institutions rarely treat people under their care better than relatives and close friends.

You can see the other side of this, of course: each decision derives from laws and judgements that were made or justified on the basis of wrongdoings.

It follows the same pattern as anti-drug legislation. Drugs do damage, so let's outlaw the drug. But the state's attempt to outlaw the drug means using its monopoly on violence, and that causes more total harm than the original problem. Laws against abusive situations in families or preventing vulnerable people being scammed out of their money need to take into account the possibility that the state will make things worse.
From the linked paper: "The stock of refugees has a stronger presence of children; in 2015, for instance, more than half of refugees were under the age of 18." So a part of the migrants would not influence positively the GDP for a few years and put more pressure on public welfare system, as well as public schools and hospitals.

Also I think that, whether low or high skilled, when you have high unemployment rate (above 10%), more workers just mean more people unemployed, so more social benefits, that the various welfare states won't be able to assume, since they all are in deficit.

Also can you point in the document where this affirmation is made?
UEFI support is relatively new for Linux and there are still a bunch of guides floating around that tell you to disable it, more than likely he followed one of those but didn't really need to disable it.
I wish I could use vim or emacs. I don't know if I'm stupid or something but all of the key bindings, everything you have to remember, it just doesn't make sense to me.

I wish there was something like nano + plugins. If I had that I could implement most of what I need (other then auto-completion for a crap load of languages).
"We found every submission to be of high quality. We will now explain why your talks are actually garden-variety by using landscaping metaphores"

Jokes aside. The issues raised are very good, but I can't help but think biased to a certain intended crowd. How does the panel(?) stay objective? Are the different views on topics and how to formulate the synopsis (exaggeration) perhaps relevant to a certain type of conference attendee and so deserving of a separate conference track?
I can't think of a church in my area that you would hear a hell-fire sermon in. I was raised in a Vineyard church, which mostly revolves around small groups and community outreach. There's little time to worry about the mark of the beast when you're building fences or working food drives. I go to a smaller Crossroads now where we study Timothy Keller or GK Chesterton. I feel relief when I go, not fear.

If you want a fear based church, there's still some that handle snakes in Kentucky (despite being illegal). But these are closed-set churches, that some poor souls are born into. We don't see growing attendance or large community involvement in these places.
In Czech Republic, it's even more pronounced. The government accepted in total about 20 immigrants from Syria so far and if you read comments on the internet, or watch demonstrations, it's like the end of the world is coming.

Also some of the fear might be quite shallow. There was a report of some old lady in the village that accepted some refugees. She was first afraid when asked about newcomers, stating fears that are commonly represented in the media. Then when she was told that they have children, and lack some stuff, she went there and donated some clothes.

Hardliners that join fringe political parties are probably quite different. But also less open to reason. But I suspect that most people's fears can be quite easily ameliorated.
Apple Car was and is a fundamentally bad idea.

Limited/no cross-sale synergies with other products

Massive up-front costs to establish a manufacturing network

Massive up-front costs to establish a dealer and maintenance network

Strong existing competition which will only get stronger with time

No clear USP ("Made by Apple" is not a USP)

The only way to crush the market would be to make a car that flies and to set up the infrastructure to make flying cars usable for domestic and work commuting.

Since that's not going to happen, the absolute best anyone expects from Apple Car is a me-too car that looks a bit nicer and rounder than the rest. And is available in white, black, pink, and gold. And it absolutely has to self-drive, because that's where the competition will be.

Me-too isn't enough to win in that market.
Maybe they have no secrets?

I mean, the point of the DNC leaks is that they (the party) helped a specific candidate (Hillary) - even before she was elected a nominee - so they in essence acted undemocratically.

Unless you're speculating that the GOP was secretly sheming for Trump - something which I find extremely unlikely - then it's more than possible that any GOP leaks would in fact help Trump, as well!
"You do not have to work 8 hours a day if the job you did could be done in 30 minutes of work."

You're confusing doing work with being at work.

I suspect for bean counting reasons and putting on a really good show, we'll all have to "work" for sixteen hour days in open offices generating great departmental metrics, but we'll actually work about 30 minutes a day and goof off on social media and online shopping and complaining about how busy we are for fifteen and a half hours per day. Well sure I spent three hours eating lunch at my desk and another three hour break is coming up in an hour for dinner so lets get the planning meeting for the pre-meeting for the meeting started...

You know how when you drive by a construction site and inevitably there's like six guys watching one guy operate a shovel? Same idea. Due to all the social media and online gaming, its gonna take ten programmers working together for weeks of pair programming to write fizzbuzz, but at least we'll all be putting in 16 hour days on paper. The whole business world is going to be like that.

The future is here, although unevenly distributed.

I've been struggling with this a lot. Granted it's pretty much all speculation, but if it is a state actor that is giving Wikileaks this information, and if said state actor was trying to influence the election, I question the responsibility of Wikileaks. It could also be (and I'm aware of this) simply that they're exposing information on "my" candidate, in which case maybe I'd feel differently if was the other way around.

I'm glad this was posted on HN, because I'm looking forward to a (hopefully) more informed discourse than I found on Reddit.
These cases concern the most personal of data and while allegations and evidence may be pertinent to (for example) allowing a child to continue to live with a parent they may not be sufficient to obtain a conviction or even warrant a prosecution. In this situation the court has to determine if justice is served by enabling a man or woman to continue as a parent of whether the safety of the child is an overriding consideration. In the second case the production of specific evidence in the public domain is libellous, and yet the child may be removed from the parent. Subsequently the defiance of the courts orders can be contempt, and yet the original orders appear unjust to those who have no knowledge of the case.

The problem is that the above may not be true, it could be simply that this is a front to enable the detention of people who are found to be inconvenient.
Weren't the Podesta e-mails the wikileak from last week?
I feel this is meant as:

"If you want to present at a big conference, then you must have experience doing smaller conferences or presentations."

You can gain experience by presenting in local meetups, making videos and posting them online, doing short tech talks at your job, etc. Doing those first will net you a lot of valuable skills and experiences.
Ten Thousand Ways to Fail
Can't argue much with these criteria. Yet why "previous presenter experience"? If you are afraid of inexperienced speakers to deliver a boring talk, why Not just give them a 10-15 minute slot?

Them, I am reminded that many speakers tour many events with the same talk. I rather like the idea of having fresh speakers on stage over the 4th instance of the very same old talk.

I'd just like to emphasize that:

* This is basically just a cross section of problems I came across helping other people who used a Mac over the period of a few days. I can only imagine how bad it is using it day to day.

* Everybody just accepted that these types of problems happened with a shrug. Except me because I've gotten used to them not existing (I almost never get PATH related issues on ubuntu).

* They may all have a solution but they shouldn't exist in the first place.

* They may not even be brew's fault per se, but it's still all part of the pain you have to deal with when using a mac which makes me want to toss it out the window.
> Do you really like the idea that when you go to some search result it effectively is opening an iframe to the website you're trying to go?

As an end-user or web developer?

As an end-user, I do not care. In fact, it seems that the AMP solution (which isn't an iframe so much as just serving the data from Google's cache at a Google URL) is faster.

> Or as a web developer you need to make sure to adopt to their stupid standards like renaming your img to amp-img and making sure it works in amp and non-amp so you'd be doing both?

As a developer, if I care enough about my user's experience to be bothering with AMP in the first place, I should be using a toolchain that makes it pretty straightforward to go from my meta-representation of my content to the render target (HTML / css, etc.). Because that toolchain should already be doing things like precompiling my CSS, condensing my image data, etc.

I am in the same generation as your parents (49) and can say for sure that my generation had a lot easier then your generation. We had free or low-cost college, real wages were higher, there were plenty of real (non-gig) jobs, people could afford to buy housing on a middle-class income, health insurance covered more, and the overall cost of living was lower. Anecdotally, your parents may have had it rougher then most of our generation; but according to the data our generation had a hell of a lot easier time then your (and my son's) generation does.

Oh, and -- like ever generation -- we whined just as much and were also call entitled. Go back and read about all the delightful things written about Generation X. We were whiney, lazy, self-entitled, and also told that life was tough and we needed to get over it. Christ, if you hadn't have called our your age in your post, I would have guessed you were my age or older.

> the whole antidepressant epidemic in the US (and other places, like Denmark, the self-reported happiest country on earth) is a symptom of a fundamental breakdown in the community aspects of society and a pervasive, deep-seated sense of mental rudderlessness infecting the more vulnerable parts of the population

That causes damage. Turning your ankle or pulling a muscle might be more obvious, because it's purely physical, but there isn't as much difference as you think.

There have been studies that show that long term unemployment causes permanent changes to a persons personality, one not easily healed by getting a new job[1]. These modifications to thinking and increased stress levels lead to physical changes (and argumentatively decay). Pointing out the source of the problem in society does not change the fact that it isn't mental illness. Quite on the contrary, giving a source is similar to pointing at a poisoned well and saying "That's why everyone is sick.", but then afterwards saying nobody is really sick because we all know the well is poisoned.

Network Abuse: How It Affects Online Users
I was worried about the keyboard when I was planning to buy a Mac, but it took no time to get used to it and actually like it so much that I now think that having less keys is actually better.

Having to press `fn` key in addition to backspace key is not a big deal at all, and I like more `fn` in combination with cursor keys than separate PgUp/PgDn/Home/End keys.

> Predicting stock prices slightly better doesn't really make the world a better place or improve anyone's lives.

Actually, it does. Increasing liquidity, communicating price information, more accurately accounting for predictable future changes in price, and absorbing risk allow for increased agricultural and industrial production. Like I said, you have to think through a few layers of abstraction.

A nice rule of thumb is that if someone is getting paid to do something you personally think is useless, it's either a government job or you just don't get what they're doing, but the market does.

Ask HN: Top hackerNews threads of all time acording to you?
irrespective of the field/topic.
A wise professor once told me "once the last stalwart hold out has bought into the market the end is near". Once you're to the point where everyone is seemingly in the market and people that shouldn't be are in, too, you're probably in for a swing downward. The Feds aversion to raising rates is really telling.
For what it is worth, in my experiments most ASTs (the rare exception being something like Roslyn's C#/VB ASTs) don't do well in "degenerate states" such as a partially finished files. (A good source control system should let you commit unfinished work.) I did have great success using a syntax highlighting tokenizers. I was able to create really nice-looking character-based diffs that were relatively semantic, quite quickly. I've not tried to use that as the basis diffs for something like git, though I've suggested trying it before.

These people weren't incapable of using Google or computers. Some users were business-types who are used to using a lot of web-based SaaS tools and quite capable and comfortable using computers.

By non-technical I really meant they weren't developers; they were sales, marketing and management type people.

When asked, it simply didn't occur to most of them to simply press the back button.

Now, its not apples to apples, of course, and since this was in a web app where there may well have been a fear that pressing back would lose the page like you do in some (badly designed) single page applications, its possible that this skewed the results somewhat. Either way, we found that adding in-page navigation improved the workflow for almost everyone.
Ask HN: What is the most hackable car?
I am in the market for a new (used) car and a Tesla is outside my budget. I would like a hackable car that I can customize and/or integrate with other systems.

My previous car (VW CC) had fairly limited functionality of the OBD 2 and CAN-Bus interfaces. It also didn't have any radar sensors. However, it was open enough that I was able to install an android head unit that was a vast improvement to the stock experience in almost every way.

I am wondering, is there a hacker's car. Something that is relatively open and will be a good platform for hobby upgrades, and more importantly, is likely to be supported by future projects from other developers / companies in the next few years.

It seems like it may be possible that things like adaptive cruise control or self-parking could be an aftermarket reality in the not too distant future.

Maybe there are some HN car hackers that have a preferred platform?
Ha. I'm left-eyed, and it never occurred to me that the viewfinder offset to the left would be an advantage if I were right-eyed. They should make left-eyed versions!
AMP doesn't "break" the img tag. It's more optimal to use the amp-img tag for AMP pages, but if you use img instead it's not going to break your page.
