You don't think censorship, propaganda and flooding out the truth with lies happens in the West? Give your head a shake. Shit like this happens every time you turn on CNN, Fox News, BBC News, Al Jazeera and any number of other "news" outlets. You assume you're free and uncensored, but really you're just the product of the propaganda and media bias you buy into and are part of the echo chamber of that bias.

Sure, China is likely doing some despicable things. Abhorrent things. Don't kid yourself that exactly the same shit isn't happening every day in the West. We're all subject to it, we're all victims of it and we all propagate it.

Stop yourself and ask yourself this: How much of the shit I believe is actually true? How much of it can I prove from first principles and how much of it is just built on things I've learned through the media or the biases of other people I trust? How much of what they believe is true? What can you really trust?

Who is really free?
I use a mix of Toggl and org-mode, to solve the exact problem you're describing (some clients need detailed information).

I'd probably just use org-mode, but I also have a subcontractor that I need to bill for as well. The toggl reports tell me exactly how much to invoice at the end of the month for the both of us, and my org-mode files have all the nitty gritty details of what I've worked on.

Fair enough, he might be a hot head. Hopefully the Russians realize this and also realize we vastly outspend them, militarily.

I didn't vote for either of the two majority candidates but I'm excited to see what will happen. His first 100 days plan is all over the board, nothing has been seen like this before with such drastic changes. I don't know what the outcome will be if he does implement them all.
Very well. When someone I love is in that situation, I'll be happy to send you the $20k+ a week bill.
Probably for the same reason that I don't sleep under my desk at my workplace.

When I'm not working, I would rather be home. For some people, home is a place, and for others, home is people. Either way, if you can't move home to China, but you can move your workplace there, you will have to commute there at intervals.
Based on the last half decade, growth in almost all first world countries is expected to be the lowest in industrialized history. You can't fight demographics (See: Japan). Political parties are just fighting over how we distribute a pie that keeps getting smaller.

That's exactly the kind of specialist I was thinking of.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted for a legitimate concern.

But, to answer your question, AWS does constitute lock-in and migrating away from AWS is a major pain. However, companies from big to small see this as a price worth paying for the flexibility of AWS.

That said, I don't think it's the only viable kid on the block any more. The competition, e.g. Google, is getting to the point where choosing AWS is no longer an automatic and should be weighed carefully. This is where the downside of lock-in starts to factor in.
People were horrible to that woman.

Do you suppose that might just have happened because she's a horrible person?

If you remember the 1990s, do you remember Billy Dale? Waco? Gary Aldrich (and if you do, was enforcing a no no-pan rule good or bad ^_^)? The magically moving Rose law Firm billing records and her law partner going to the Federal pen? Her public responses to those who accused her husband of rape, sexual assault, or inappropriate (power and age) sexual relations? The looting of the White House? Filegate, with it's blackmail treasures?

And that's just stuff that happened in the 8 year administration that her fingerprints are clearly on.

Were you really paying that much attention, seeing as how if you are in your late 30s, you'd have been exiting college about the time the administration was over?

Love the two display options since not everything is relevant all the time and it's just easier to go chronological.

I will try my best to integrate AWS/GC/Azure as much as possible to reduce that issue in the first place (obviously I can't create alternatives to all AWS services for example, but I can integrate as much as possible via their SDK to reduce the friction users would face as you mentioned).

> I would also like to have something I could point at a docker api which would manage the end to end lifecycle of a function. Building it into a container, exposing itself over an API for management, telling it when it should run and of course running it on my docker machine(s).

Could you please go into a bit more detail? I don't understand what you are trying to do. (or it's use case)
Yep, the blockchain is uncalled for. I work at an electronic voting company and sometimes we get clients that want to add the blockchain for the system. We patiently explain it to them that yeah, the blockchain has some interesting properties that can be used but that it's not really necessary and it would only be used by a small piece of the voting system...
I agree, but I also think that there are circumstances where some humans are not/are no longer people. Encephalitic fetuses, accident victims with zero higher brain function, etc.

Look, we all know this sucks. It's no surprise to us that governments the world over are hell-bent on mass surveillance...

BUT, we shouldn't also disregard the historical and cultural contexts. China has always maintained a very strict command of its people to preserve state stability. Just ask the scholars from the Qin Dynasty. Oh that's right, you can't, because their writings were burned while dissenters were buried alive in mass graves.

You can rail all you want about totalitarianism and mass surveillance from the comfort of a Hacker News thread, but let's be honest here: if a several-thousand-year history is any guide, China will likely move in the direction of more surveillance and control, not less.

You can't raise livestock for hundreds of millions of people "ethically" -whatever that means-. That's why people industrialized the process, and on most big factories there's little human intervention.

I can't picture the day where people stop eating meat. It just won't happen, not matter what arguments you present.

The best way to go is replacing it, and the perfect postulate is lab meat, which I hope, is going to be massively produced at low cost in the next ten years. And even if it doesn't ill people, tastes the same as natural meat, you will find resistence.

So, to summarise: lab meat at lower cost than natural meat, demands plunge, billions of animals are saved every year.
The only way to change the playing field in that way is to have a majority of people feel the same way, which requires either convincing them or waiting until the old group dies out.
The contents of the ballot can still remain anonymous.

You create a plaintext ballot, then you encrypt the ballot with the election authorities' keys, then you sign your encrypted ballot with your own private key (then you send the ballot to the server).

You are signing a ballot that is already encrypted.
I agree with the other poster saying to look at everything else you're doing as well. My knee hurt for a few weeks starting a few days after moving house. Look into hand exercises. Rock climbing (especially bouldering) can help if you're up for it / live by a rock gym or somewhere lucky enough to have good outdoor climbing. The Microsoft Sculpt keyboard and mouse are the best I've found ergo-wise. imovr makes desks with solid keyboard platforms which can tilt to pretty extreme negative angles if you find that that helps as well. The sculpt KB comes with a negative angle riser as well, to get a feel for if you like that type of thing.

I think that would have a stronger tendency to create an echo chamber.

If anything, I'd suggest the reverse: it should count for more to have more votes from a less tightly coupled portion of the graph. As in, cluster the set of users based on various types of interactions, and include a multiplicative factor in scoring based on the distinctness of the users upvoting something. That way, you can get a modest score by appealing strongly to a small subset of users, but a massive score only by appealing to many distinct sets of users.
Ask HN: Facebook hack
So a few hours ago I looked at my FB on my laptop. At the top of my profile was a message that my account was memorialized. Doing some digging it seems anyone can submit a request to FB to have one of their friend's profiles memorialized. It appears that when that happens whoever is listed as the legacy contact can take control of some things on the person's page. There is no proof required, you simply fill out a quick form with profile and date of death.

https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/234739086860192

Anyone ever heard of this and is there something going on with FB? It seems like there is significant potential for abuse for this without having to prove the person is dead.
I'd prefer that more efficient use was made of the four years of high school they've already got people locked in for. Everything listed could be done, in addition to what (little) is already learned in those four years. It might be necessary to reform teachers unions to shake out the deadwood and find budget to double salaries, to raise the average level in the talent pool though.

Non-interactive video visualizations were useful for decades before interactive ones became available, and still are when done well (which isn't as rare as you imply). They also reach a much wider audience.
If Big Pharma developed treatments-rather-than-cures as a deliberate strategy to milk recurring revenue, biotech startups could ignore those recurring treatments and take over the market with easier-or-equally-difficult-to-find one shot cures that doctors, patients, and insurance companies would all prefer. But it turns out that Biology is Hard and the indefinite treatments are still used because neither incumbents nor startups have been able to find drugs that are once-and-for-all cures for diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's, etc. It's the same reason we don't have Mr. Fusion powering our cars instead of liquid hydrocarbons: not because the sinister oil cartels are suppressing technology, but because developing that sort of breakthrough is extremely hard.

Article suggests that the cells get destroyed:

> If their efforts are stalled by a lack of oxygen, neurons are rapidly inundated with ions which build to toxic levels, causing irreversible damage.

I mean, we may get into a discussion when does the brain cell die, like what if it still is a living cell, but can't act as a neuron anymore.
These are smart people of course, but it's easy to get overly impressed by these results because all the scaffolding is missing. Behind such a result, there is a lot of tinkering, many leads going into dead ends. By the time you hit a solution, you have in your mind a theory of why it works and you can start cutting it down by removing anything non essential. You end up with a clean result that seems almost magical.

A virtual call in C++ is just a vtable lookup then a direct C call. Literally one pointer away. (or perhaps one pointer then one integer addition away? For the offset)
> electron can be both states at the same time

This is a very simplified colloquial way of stating a concept that also makes it seem mysterious. The state of an electron is described by a vector 'v' in a 2D complex vector space. Now, to actually talk about the vector concretely you should choose a basis. Suppose your basis is one in which the vector 'v' is not parallel to any of the basis vectors. Then you can say the vector v is "somewhere in between basis vectors e1 and e2". No magic in the way I have stated it. There is a little bit of fake magic when you start thinking about the random measurement results you get when you measure the electron in state 'v'. But these effects can be simulated in a classical deterministic universe.

The real magic of quantum mechanics is in entanglement which can't be simulated in a classical deterministic universe. But that is a much longer story.

Now to answer your question, yes there is lots of physical evidence that this non-deterministic description of systems is a good model of reality. This comment box is too small to state it. People are currently in the process of determining if this probabilistic description is a good one outside of the mathematical framework of QM.

This comment was so spot-on I had to upvote the parent post to make your reply more visible.

I recently got in a discussion with a friend that wants to start a minimalist news outlet in order to focus on the truth and only the truth, but we still can't decide what exactly that means. Where do we get our information from? Can we trust that source? How much of a bias is automatically assumed by being Western and reading Western news? What's the "correct" proportion of "liberal" and "conservative" news sources? How can we divorce the information we choose to publish from our biases and opinions?

We still don't know.

I think that this is the morale hairs that have to be split. I would disagree, and that they are being in violation of the law to uphold the law. Which I think is much more dangerous for everyone.

> Our immigration story in the US worked out pretty well.

There are a great many accomplished, upstanding US citizens of Irish descent today, but let's not forget that mass Irish immigration also brought machine politics & race riots to the USA in the short-to-medium term.

"Underclass" isn't meant as a moral judgment, I'm just talking about the people who work low-wage, low-prestige jobs with little job security. The USA already has fairly bad ethnic stratification of income; I don't want us to turn into Brazil or Mexico in that regard.

As a moral or practical matter, I don't think deporting families is a good idea. I do think we have to find a way to stop digging a hole. Let the people who are here now assimilate - it's harder now, with modern communication and transportation technology, because it's so much easier to live in an enclave. Find ways to encourage people who are already here to have more kids if there is a concern about future workers.
