>Nonsense, non-captialist societies may have been less effective, but they were obviously still engaged in economic activity.

There has never been an economic system that has has zero defence for private property rights (in the abstract sense of one having exclusive rights to that which they appropriate from the natural world or receive from another legitimate owner). The soviet union had small privately owned farms. North Korea has black markets that are widely tolerated by authorities. But even at a more basic level, having an exclusive right to the food that the state gives you is an exercise of private property rights. Economic existence would not be possible with zero observance of economic independence between individuals.

>That seems like an unnecessarily morbid way to derive the kind of morality you're talking about. (Seriously, we can only have rights because we turned food we owned into our flesh?)

I see it in an opposite way. I see property as really our own person. I use the term 'property' because that is better understood. But morally, I think it's more appropriate to see the things we own as an extension of our person, and not as a separate class of matter we call property.

>By which you mean, prevent them from withholding resources from other people.

Withholding resources you created through your own effort, or acquired through private trade trade, is self-defense in my opinion. I think this is common sense and consistent with how we commonly define rights.

Windows Server 2016 persistent memory support supercharges storage IO
In some countries macs are ridiculously expensive for students and even for professionals and people just install MacOs on their already available PCs so that they can mess around with XCode or the tooling for web development. Sure you can have most of the tooling on Linux for example but the MacOs UI is much better than anything available for Linux distros.

Also, curiosity.
Great episode, there are also great mobile apps out there for viewing the Sky through your phone if you never could afford that telescope and had no idea what each star you're looking at is, using GPS for locating you, and revealing even the stars you can't see (pointing downwards would reveal stars on the other side). I would name some, but there are too many and I haven't settled one any yet.

This is a very useful comment.

I think the same could be said about C. It should not be put on the throne of "programming language" - you need to actually read and understand what it does internally. (pointers etc) - it's not enough to learn some incantations.

So then let me ask: is there a room for x, where git:x::C:python (git is to x, as C is to Python).

People everywhere deserve to have x. Not just right-clicking a file in Dropbox or OS X for previous versions, but a full commandline and detailed history including commit messages, and many other aspects of git.

In a way this is completely orthogonal to your comment, just as Python is to C.

EDIT: I've thought more about it and I no longer agree. The "language" presented here is a subset of C/C++ - not everything is mentioned or taught: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/HomePage

It is in fact exactly this type of simplified subset. Not even malloc and free are mentioned... So while what you wrote is true for this audience (HN) there is room to learn less or a subset.

Apple can totally see what hardware is installed. FakeSMC, IIRC, uses a spoofed serial number for the hardware which can easily be detected. I assume sending hardware profiles are a part of using iCloud or other Apple services. It isn't a stretch for them to see what you're up to.

Another bug report [0] contains more details:

This is dangerous as it is insecure default behavior. There may
be an argument (poor) for keeping insecure default
behavior. However, it is also doubly dangerous because it may
imply to the user that the operation has been cryptographically
verified when in fact it has not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge-webrsync
2. "Fetching file portage-20161021.tar.xz.gpgsig ..."
Actual Results:
User things "cool, it's verified"... but it's not verified, and
no warning is shown to this effect.

Expected Results:
All downloads are cryptographically verified or, failing that,
a big (preferably red, flashing) SCARY WARNING is shown.

Probably it should whinge immediately and require the addition
of an --insecure command line flag.

A pedantic point: AES was never "declassified by the NSA". AES is a standardized version of the Rijndael algorith which was developed by Belgian cryptographers and standardized by US standards bodies after a public submission period.

The DES, which preceded AES as the US standard encryption algorithm, was based on an IBM-developed algorithm (Lucifer) that was modified by the NSA. The modification to the DES S-boxes by the NSA was regarded by many as a weakening or backdooring of the algorithm, but subsequently it was revealed that the NSA was aware of a type of attack that the modification rendered the resulting DES algorithm immune to (differential cryptanalysis).
To address your first point: There is an amazing amount of software where even O(n!) vs O(log n) doesn't matter. There is also of course a lot of software where it does. There is even more software where it does matter in some parts of the code but doesn't in others.

Every optimization has a cost. Time is a finite resource. Time spent optimizing one thing could be spent optimizing something else or implementing a new feature or fixing a bug.

That said, the original argument isn't that that which Big-O notation represents is generally irrelevant. The argument is that the formalism of Big-O notation itself is generally irrelevant (except where it isn't, obviously).

You don't need CS101 to understand that a nested for-loop probably scales worse than a single if-statement. Or that looping over the input twice in succession is probably faster than nesting those loops. Or that only looking at half the input is faster than looking at all the inputs, and so on.

To put it in other words: you can figure out that something that scales from an ant to an elephant to a skyscraper scales worse than something that scales in multiples of ducks without having to use a ruler or charts. Big-O is the more accurate tool but there is a tremendous amount of situations where you don't need an accurate tool and a vague understanding of the same thing the tool would measure is entirely sufficient.
>>Its about understanding that your government is responsible for the safety of citizens, and that your enemies will want to kill you

Governments are about control, not safety.

as to the "enemies want to kill you", most that stems from government aggression in the first place, government is the cause, not the effect of that equation
The first specific problem with internships instead of school labs is schools like to be a one stop shop so how do you guarantee everyone accepted into a school will be accepted into at least one productive lab? Remember the only criteria for school entrance is a pulse and ability to get a guaranteed loan for a ridiculous amount of money. The odds that a physical school with X slots for chemists precisely overlaps professional demand for X chemistry interns is pretty low so either the private labs are going to be understaffed or there will be (profitable) students who can't get required internship places.

The second problem with internships instead of school labs is the classic birth problem where we produce too many trained chemists for too few jobs. And flooding the labor market with free intern labor isn't going to help the fraction of grads who can get a job in the field. The result would be even more people with chemistry degrees doing anything other than chemistry as a profession after graduation.

The third problem with internships instead of school is related to the second in that pre-med uses ochem as a weedout, or used to. So "most people" trying to learn ochem are trying to get into med school, no interest at all in learning ochem itself. That means the vast majority of chemistry interns are going to be pretty useless and unmotivated in the professional labs, so the few interns trying to become actual chemists are going to get ripped off by being ignored.

Those are very chemistry specific problems but something similar might apply to many other subjects.

Great to see TPP get a significant place in national politics. Im quite interested to see how the coalition talks will go. Their intended colaboration of the TPP, the Left-Green Movement, Bright Future, and Social Democratic Alliance is not going to work. The central right Independence Party is the biggest party so I guess it will probably be the first one to attempt to form a coalition. If they join with the new and also right-wing Regeneration they will have 28 of the required 32 seats, and then it's a question who else would join. Not sure if TPP would want to join two right wing parties? TPP and the left green movement have 20 seats together, so they'd need the Independency party (unlikely together with the Left green I suppose) or 2 other parties.
Mercurial. I'm not being flippant; the UX is light years ahead in terms of accessibility to newcomers to dvcs. With a ui like tortoisehg, even five years ago, someone without any prior experience in any vcs at all could become productive after a fifteen minute primer. Git does not compare.
I did the Hackintosh thing for a couple of years. It was painful, but even more so since I wanted a RAID 1 on my main boot disk. That, it turns out, is not supported that well. If someone claims it is, then I'd say it definitely adds extra steps, and it can sometimes be tricky and tense.

I never dual booted Windows, but I read about lots of problems people had in the forums.

I don't believe that inequality justifies violence to force people to give up the currency they receive in private trade (to pay an income tax).

I also don't believe that inequality is a natural outcome of a market economy. The market will favor efficiency above all things, because it is an iterative process that rewards good utilizers/investors of capital with greater allocations of capital, and it is not efficient for 5 people to own and direct as much capital as 150 million people. More individual owners of capital means much more attention being given in the management of each unit of capital, resulting in higher returns on it.

The sources of income inequality need to be found in the government either not fulfilling its responsibility to manage the commons in the interest of the public, or in authoritarian prohibitions that disproportionately harm the less wealthy and the poor.

Free-market inhibiting factors that could be contributing to income disparity:

* high fixed-costs for participating in business. Fixed costs, unlike variable costs, punish small businesses. Regulations are known in the economics field as a source of fixed costs. A very basic example: you can't offer stock in your company on a stock exchange without having millions of dollars to pay lawyers. This excludes millions of small businesses from one of the best sources of capital: the public stock market. More on regulations causing an upward distribution of income: Working Paper: The Upward Redistribution of Income: Are Rents the Story?: http://cepr.net/publications/reports/working-paper-the-upwar...

* high market transaction costs as a result of regulations and taxes. Why do high market transaction costs contribute to income disparity? Because non-market transactions internal to an organization are not subject to the costs imposed by regulations and taxes. This will result in large corporations having a competitive advantage over small ones that rely on market transactions for a greater portion of their activity. For example, a large corporation doesn't need to pay a sales tax to have its accounting department do an accounting job for it. A small corporation that pays an external company to do it does.

The only way to get a license for a modern MacOS is to purchase a mac. The license is nontransferrable, forever attached to the specific system purchased. It is a violation of the EULA and most likely Apple's copyright to install MacOS on systems that are not entitled for the OS, which is every system that's not a Mac.

In other words, you're violating Apples copyright by running MacOS on a Hackintosh, and Apple is well within their rights to sue you for damages. Defending these types of lawsuits are expensive.
Why git cherry-pick rather than just fast-forward or rebase? Doesn't that introduce a whole bunch of duplicate commits?
White space is super important. It can serve as a delimiter between pieces of your UI for example. It can serve as an emphasis on content or an important UI element. It has a ton of different uses you are completely disregarding... because

> I know how to manage information

But you really don't, though. If I replied with a 20 lines efficiently-packed wall of text with no paragraphs or linebreaks, you'd complain. If you were looking at a UI that was simply packing UI elements like the lego set for a giant cube, you'd be the first one commenting on its poor usability.

This is what it's like to have no whitespace: http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/

--

You know, this exact attitude pisses me off. The #1 complaint in open source software is how poor the UX is in most of it. Famously, the software is "designed for its programmer", with the interface built to be as simple to code as possible.

It doesn't change because the community is full of devs arrogant enough to think that their users "know how to manage information" and will make sense of it all. They "don't need to be treated like children" because, obviously, intuitive interfaces are for kids.

OK, I get it, you've had bad experiences with whitespace. The G+ homepage is an abomination. Author isn't arguing a tiny column of text surrounded by two giant white columns is good design. Doesn't mean it's always bad.
Really? Does this work in airplane mode?
I suppose that the description of A->B fits well with the idea of programmed learning[1] and CodeAcademy basically fits that kind of pedagogy. The limits of CodeAcademy and programmed learning are that ->B is tuned to the provider's goals rather than the student's.

I've seen designers coddled and defended against avalanches of negative feedback under dubious auspices that users don't know what they want or that it's a natural thing to complain...

Then those aren't designers, those are artists. Artists have the option of creating a singular vision and defending it against all comers. Designers have to create a vision that matches the discovered desires of the users, and then ruthlessly road-test that vision through prototyping and structured user testing. If your "designers" are artists (or, just as common, you rely on your programmers implicitly being designers), then, yeah, you've got a problem, because they're focused on the product and not the process.

Incidentally, the sort of UX concepts you see on Dribbble are usually art, not design; most of them are created in isolation and outside of actual design methodologies, which is why they look great but are completely impractical for daily use.
>The economics of a minimum wage is much debated.

The economics of minimum wage among 'respectable' economists is debated in a similar way that the global warming "controversy" is debated by big oil. It's good for business to make people believe that there's a strong link between job losses and raising the minimum wage.

Meta-analyses of studies find an embarrassingly low level of statistical significance between job losses and raising the minimum wage:

"Several researchers have conducted statistical meta-analyses of the employment effects of the minimum wage. In 1995, Card and Krueger analyzed 14 earlier time-series studies on minimum wages and concluded that there was clear evidence of publication bias (in favor of studies that found a statistically significant negative employment effect). They point out that later studies, which had more data and lower standard errors, did not show the expected increase in t-statistic (almost all the studies had a t-statistic of about two, just above the level of statistical significance at the .05 level).[87] Though a serious methodological indictment, opponents of the minimum wage largely ignored this issue; as Thomas Leonard noted, "The silence is fairly deafening."[88]"

Profits, on the other hand - the elephant in the room when it comes to studying minimum wages - almost always take the brunt of the rise in wages:

http://www.wsj.com/articles/minimum-wage-increases-likely-to...

>It's not hard to think of other ways to top up incomes that don't involve setting a minimum wage.

Right, if you particularly wanted to avoid cutting into the profits of companies like Walmart, there are other ways you could top up incomes.

One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is how slow MSDN is. It feels faster to look something up on stackoverflow, even if it's not as well organised.

Version-specificness on MSDN is often a little odd. I do Windows CE and for some reason Google returns hits from the Wince5 docs more often than the rest, and it's not straightforward to get to the docs for a different version. Sometimes this is important.
> If we are going to change the fundamental premise of the example, and assume a scarce natural resource is being appropriated, then society could certainly charge a fee for the act of appropriating the natural resource.

and from your comment elsewhere.

> The homestead principle is based on the notion that if something is unclaimed, and someone adds value to it, they should be able to enjoy the full benefit of that value-added thing.

What resources are not scarce in your view? If a forest is unclaimed and then I should be allowed to claim and cut it to produce valuable furniture and keep all the profit to me. Noting available on this earth is unlimited or free.

> A sound principle is universal, and not arbitrarily stop being morally applicable due to considerations relating to the sum involved. There is no sound principle for a tax on income or private property.

Universal Principal is progressive taxation, and tax rate is determined by scale of operation. An individual making furniture out of unclaimed wood cannot be compared to an industrial scale operation resulting in deforestation and they cannot be taxed on the same rate.

> Now if the iron ore miner pays the fee, mines the ore, smelts the iron, and fashions the iron into an incredible machine, you have absolutely no right to what the machine produces. An income tax is not a tax on using scarce natural resources, or a charge for damaging the environment. It is robbery against someone successfully generating economic value. It is a human rights violation.

Ok what this hypothetical machine is going to produce?
