>The German "freedom team" did nothing of value, it was the US that won or more precise the Soviet Union that imploded because it was unfeasible from the beginning. West Germany was a powerless Satellite state just as East Germany was.

Exactly what I said in my comment. West Germany was the "Klassenfeind" of the East, it won economically in a way, which was literally called a "Wirtschaftswunder". The East then made a peaceful revolution leading up to the Euro and the expansion of the EU.

>>> I think if you have freedom or democracy related questions you should ask us. We would suggest to get your act with your agencies together.

> ???

I am saying that the US agencies are undemocratic and much more problematic than functioning social systems would be.

> You want your slaves to cooperate, which is easier to accomplish when you're not beating them up on a daily basis.

It is always easier to govern a country, whether you are democratically elected or not, if you have a functioning system. I would not count this as a reason to not have a functioning social systems. It is also easier to govern if the people are not starving, that does not mean that a starving population is more free.

>> Hitler did not wait for generations to let social systems brainwash the people, he had the thugs of the SA to beat the crap out of the opposition.

> That's not how it was historically. He did not use massive violence to get into power (he got there fair and square in a democratic manner), but he encouraged it to get rid of the Jews once he was in power.

I never said that he beat the people to get in power, I only said he used the SA to beat up the opposition on the street, which is exactly how it historically was.

> Or do you want to argue with me that the Hitlerjugend had no real effect on the youth? Children started to report their parents if they said something against their dear leader.

Sure. But why are you talking about this? A Hitlerjugend is something different than public infrastructure like a functioning healthcare system we were originally talking about. As soon as the left proposes a Hitlerjugend I would advise you to vote for the other candidate.
Short term changes have little to do with long term brand recognition and value.

We want to. It would be nice if we could just use cgo but it's not complete. So we need to build some kind of simplified API to Noms that can be exported via cgo.

I created a bug for this just now: https://github.com/attic-labs/noms/issues/2718

Please feel free to get involved there.
Is it implemented in Haskell and not in C/C++? The papers I saw didn't say anything about the implementation.
I'd like a good system for conditional child components. I liked Flex's system.
Yes! Nobody talks about this part of the curve. It really sucks.
Arguman – an argument analysis platform
I'd disagree. You tell an employer you're going to spend 480 hours on a project. You have far more responsibilities than just that project. A month later it is perfectly reasonable for them to ask how many hours you've invested, and what the remaining timeline looks like. I'd love to be able to automate this process.
Why You Need Custom Business App Solution to Manage Work Processing?
Well half of those you can eliminate because they're grammatically incorrect or make no sense. (Je une = nonsense, unless you mean J'ai une whatever, but still, very different)

The others all have different pronunciations.
Did you consider a different concurrency strategy to avoid the deadlocks? With separate reader-writer threads you don't have the deadlock you mentioned.

Crypto/tls doesn't support renegotation, which Tor needs, but they are getting rid off.
I like how the if proposal is down voted, probably because it's mentioning Angular. Conditional rendering in React is not always very clean. Most codebases end up resorting with something similar to this in a container to show a spinner while data is loading and rendering it when done.

<ConditionalSpinner renderIf={data}><PersonRenderer person={data.person} /></ConditionalSpinner>

Problem is that the inner component will still be parsed and fail with cannot read property person of undefined. Yes, you can do this with a simple condition in your render function, but then it's not declarative any more.
Have not had time to try Elm yet but Elixir is such a pleasure to use, it's painful going back to JS :)
> Elm apps are a single blob of JavaScript that either loads or doesn't

This is what bothers me about Elm. In the next few months, I'll be starting on a site project, and I've been fiddling with Elm and I don't see how I can create progressive web apps with it. It doesn't seem to play well with service workers for an offline mode, and there's no fallback if Javascript is disabled. Either it loads or it doesn't.

I want to use Elm, I don't want to use JavaScript, but I also want a progressive web app that will offer some functionality offline. I guess there's a way to do some server-side stuff with Phoenix, but then the front-end / back-end division isn't so clear and I'd end up using JavaScript for the service workers anyway.

I've not looked super deep into this, so I'd be happy to be corrected if I've got the wrong end of the stick here.
This is exactly why I decided to get a Chromebook and install Linux (Gallium OS) on it rather than get a Windows 10 laptop (Macbooks are too expensive for me right now).

I wanted a Windows computer initially, but I just had to return my Windows 10 laptop after growing frustrated with how unbelievably slow it was. It was ridiculous. Windows 10 is an abomination. My $230 CB5-571 is doing just fine.

I will say, though, that Microsoft Office is unrivaled in my opinion, and it's unfortunate that it's not compatible with Linux. Still, Google Drive has served me well so far.
The boy who stole Half-Life 2
That's only half the story. If you dig deeper most of Russian dealings involve Nato pushing their own thing against Russia, breaking agreement, and them responding. Doesn't mean its right, but it's nowhere as black and white as it's made to be.
it won't matter on HN and this shit story does not belong here. There already have been too many stealth political stories posted to HN all bent one way.

For supposedly open minded people techies (this happened on /. and ended that site for many) are the most bigoted close minded people you can find. They don't want to think, they want approval of supposed peers, peers they will never meet nor acknowledge them.

The common trope is always, Republican candidates or Presidents are dumb, they are racists, they are homophobes, they are anti science, they are anti-name it. Yet no matter how much proof is offered that the candidate they will support instead will trounce their privacy rights, their freedoms, and more, they cannot be convinced otherwise.

Shit like this does not belong on HN and thank god for the karma I have because fuck it, this type of crap is the reason to delete sites like this permanently from bookmarks. You want to go to the shitshow that /. became, don't do it.

All three candidates have bad points, some more than others, but I will not vote for someone whose entire political career is one deceit after another and who turns a blind eye to the deaths their decisions have caused nor will I accept a candidate the press desperately wants and will never call on the carpet

>It's that freedom in the context of democratically agreed regulation whereby we can all trade goods and our labor with others and thereby generate value, usually monetary but by no means exclusively.

The very idea that people can have exclusive control of some goods and then have to trade for other ones is capitalism. Property is not the default state of the universe, it had to be invented and enforced before it meant anything.

And while it can be called a freedom in a certain sense, property is also a restriction. In order for me to own something, you have be denied the right to use it without my permission.

Which is not to say property rights are not a good thing on the whole, but they should be compared as one economic system, in terms of their outcomes, alongside the alternatives.
Homophobic

1. There is a huge push to say that people are not attracted to genitals. Lesbians are being told they're transphobic for not sleeping with people with penises.

2. There is a well documented
phenomenon of homosexual people transitioning for public acceptance. A number of people who have detransitioned have discussed this.

Male and female brains

1. There is a huge difference between the brains of taxi drivers and the general population. The brain is incredibly plastic and our socialization and culture should make us expect brain differences.

2. Question: The brains of transgender people are still more like people of their own sex than of their identified gender. If you buy the brain sex argument do you think that there should be a brink for a diagnosis as trans?

Hopefully someone interested will read this comment, since it might be buried at the bottom: there is a fun project called Anglish that works to make the English language free from any non-Germanic loan words, using old(er) English and even made up words inspired by German, Dutch etc when no others exist. It's not, as far as I can see, a militant effort, but more fun and an inspiring linguistic challenge.

As a foreigner, FATCA seems to be a logical reaction to the US system of taxing citizens instead of residents.

If a candidate had proposed to switch to only taxing US residents, plus apply some international pressure to close down tax havens, then I could see the point of repealing FATCA.

Parsing Techniques – A Practical Guide
Use of this system call has long been discouraged, and it is so unloved
> without much risk.

The trick is to strike the right balance between repeating code and testing it. I've seen codebases become unmaintainable piles of almost repeating code that was never tested beyond a developer opening the page and checking the behavior manually.

To prevent such messes is one key responsibility of a developer.

My point has more to do with the source of your information than the quantity of information you should consume. Regardless of your particular political views, you must acknowledge that the mainstream media is far from an unbiased source (recent leaks have made that clearer than ever). Thus, if your "first level filter" is only based on what the media says, you're looking at a small sample from a very skewed dataset.

Everyone uses filters and makes judgements on limited information; the point is, you'll be better off looking to primary sources and listening to some of what people actually have to say before drawing conclusions. The media at this point is essentially useless for that purpose.

If I were to judge your character based on a single quote from your lifetime, would you rather I ask your greatest enemy for that quote, or pick a random sample on a good day?
IMO it means you believe in a right freedom so long as you dont infringe on someone elses rights.

So, in theory you would be against forcing someone to pay taxes to build roads or provide education, but would arguably be for paying for a police department and justice system to protect people from having others infringe on their rights.

It basically means the only function of government should be to protect our freedoms and anything outside that purview should be done by the private sector and let the markets decide what has real value and is worth investing in.
Yes – hourly for obvious reason, and fixed-price so I can improve my estimates.

Thanks for your very detailed comment! I can say right of the bat that I partly agree with the most important part of your comment:

> Socialism does not say anything about the political system. Socialism is about economics and welfare.

I would see welfare as a part of economics (how much of the resources are spent on welfare and who decides it), so I wouldn't make that distinction here.

But as I see it you can't divide between economics and politics. When the government controls a large portion of the economy (directly owning it or by having the power to enact arbitrary regulation) then it has a large political everyday influence on citizens. When it has almost no control over the economy then it has basically no say in the lives of its citizens.

Imagine a situation where the government actually owned 100% of the economy, how would that look like? It would be slavery, because all resources would be taken away by the government and then redistributed in a way they see fit.

What I can't see is how a strongly right wing government could act authoritarian or dictatorial because they will have no power over the resources, which leaves them powerless to influence the behaviour of their citizenry without actually convincing them through good arguments or lies to act differently.

Socialism will on the other hand always try to have a lot of power over the economy which means they decide who is to be supported and who is not, who is to be punished (by higher taxes) and who isn't. They also want to control what children learn in school, which is very dangerous in my opinion. It means that they are not confident that children raised in a way their parents want them to be raised will be compliant with the system they want to create. I believe it is pretty much a known fact that most people coming out of the educational system today (particularly the higher ones) will be overwhelmingly more likely to be left leaning than not.
"far-reaching consequences", they say.

Indeed.

I mostly agree with you. I might not know every English word but I won't consider myself fluent until I can understand and use my second language at the same level as my first.

In other words I should be able to easily explain anything I can explain in my 1st language whether it's how to drive, how to change a tire, what the parts of a bicycle are (wheels, spokes, chain, gears, handlebars, tire, kick stand, peddles, brakes, )etc. Any native 8 yr old can name all those things.

Similarly describing a car. The stick shift, clutch, odometer, glove compartment, engine, seat belts, arm rest, windshield, wheel well, windshield wipers, reat view mirror, antenna, etc.

Any native speaker will know all those words. I'm still at the "explain with smaller words" phase like "antenna" would be "metal stick that receives radio waves".

I'm not fluent.

You're conflating laissez-faire or free market capitalism with a plutocracy (society ruled by the wealthiest). They're diametrically opposed systems.

Yes, well, anyone can find that out if they care to. The point is the person you replied to was interpreting the original sarcasm, not trying to make a factual statement.
>I wonder if this is unique to the culture of France, or at least Paris, that they do not like to hear their language from a foreigner? Maybe the language is part of a group identity, used to identify locals who can be trusted to follow local customs? It was a little saddening.

I'm sorry to hear that. As a Parisian, I don't think this had anything to do with protecting an identity, rather we're just as happy to practice our (often terrible!) English as you are to practice your French!
If there is no chance of getting caught anyway, there is only moral law. Since you're not disturbing anyone with an FM transmitter in your car that transmits only as far as you car radio, it passes moral law.

Interesting to learn that it wasn't legal in the UK though. I wouldn't know of the legality in the Netherlands, but I know they're in use and nobody's complaining.
Looking only at the cost of running a decentralized network is not sufficient. We need to look also at the cost of not running a decentralized network.

Not all incentives have an economic nature, some are political, and I think the latter applies in a greater meassure in the current case.

Just the realization that you give too much power to those running centralized services, may represent the required incentive for people to switch.

The overall material cost to run a centralized vs decentralized service may be comparable, but the political cost is not..

Obviously you don't know enough people who support Trump (or McMullin, or Johnson) in your facebook feed, because the charicatures they post about Clinton are of a cartoonish evil villain as well, often with their favorite picture: https://goo.gl/images/LvYxB1

Clinton isn't my first pick, but I realized long ago that quite a bit of the hate about her goes back to her feminism and activism in her early days in the white house, when many families felt she had led a full-on attack on their traditional family values simply by not practicing them.
How does this compare to gun.js.org?
Everybody pays a little.

Pay for storage by sharing the disks attached to the computer at home that is connected to the Internet. Run out of space? Buy another disk or reduce the space for sharing. Same of what happens with file sharing.

Pay for bandwidth through the bill of the ISP. This could be tricky because ISPs don't usually make it easy to have servers at home.

Both storage and bandwidth can be outsourced to server farms: a machine on AWS or anywhere else would be as good as one at home. Maybe more convenient, maybe less.

But if you're a big content provider you might end up with large disks and large pipes because you want that your content is always accessible and no random guy can affect its availability.
Maybe he is fighting the disgraceful shaming culture going on in this election.

By standing up and making a donation, he is forcing people to reconcile his success with his political views, creating real discourse, like this HN discussion.

I cant recall a single election that had so few lawn signs out and that people are afraid to admit who they truly support.
Sub-Second Page Loads: Web Performance by Example
There are separate reader/writer goroutines, I don't think splitting them up further would've helped much. The problem is that all connections may end up needing something from all other connections, and as soon as one of them slows down (slow network, etc) its channels start filling up, taking other connections with it :-)

This could've been mitigated by applying backpressure in a bunch of places, and is ultimately a problem of Tor and not Go, but the nature of Go makes it hard to build code to do that.

As for renegotiation: my work on the Go version of Tor had some nice side-effects, and indeed, renegotiation was finally removed :-) https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/ChangeLog?id=55c4...
That does sound really cool. I might grab it.
I'd add that Rails was also hugely influential in its focus on developer productivity. A lot of it was magic and incredibly difficult to debug or modify when it went wrong, but it raised the bar for how you market a framework to developers.

But that might be it. Trump clearly lacks a well oiled political machine behind him like Clinton. Should he win power there will no doubt a lot of opportunities opening up for anyone with a cheque and an agenda. I guess 1.5 million is not much to gamble for Thiel and will pay back 1000 to 1 if Trump were to succeed.
