God forbid people didn't create environmentally disastrous and socially ho-hum suburban sprawls...

FYI, "segue" is the word you're looking for. A "segway" is one of those Dean Kamen scooters. Apologies if raising that is a jerk thing to do, but if I were on the other end I'd appreciate it. I can't tell you how long I went spelling "carotid" wrong, despite being aware of the printed word (I thought that one was pronounced differently, oddly enough).
FB moderators already affects 'politically undesirable' content too much.

Two weeks ago, FB blocked an event page of Independence March, which traditionally takes place on November 11th (Polish Independence Day) in Warsaw. This is the biggest mass event of Independence Day, having more than 100k participants each year.

FB also blocked or removed pages of NGOs and political parties, which are organizing or support the march (some of them had 80k or 170k followers) and personal accounts of people involved in these organizations.

Then FB went full rage and started to block personal accounts of everyone who invited or even positively mentioned the Independence March, including for example the personal account of editor-in-chief of the second largest daily newspaper in Poland (https://twitter.com/sjastrzebowski/status/793001362070052864).

The most extreme case was the personal account of a MP, who wrote on his timeline: "I will be [on the Independence March] along with my family, whether FB likes that or not." (https://twitter.com/jakubiak_marek/status/793497135954202625...) His profile was blocked for 24 hours after that.

Another case was a personal profile of a retired Intelligence Agency officer, who revealed in a FB post, that a local coordinator of an anti-government liberal-left protest movement during the communist period was a colonel of Soviet-dependent military intelligence agency.

All of this happened just within the last month. FB actions generated a huge pushback and hit the headlines. Deputy Minister of Justice qualified FB actions as "censorship". Minister of Digitization tweeted that she "asked FB management for a talk". Many people started deleting their FB accounts in protest.

FB got frightened and reactivated the event page of Independence March, but many nationalist/conservative organizations profiles still remain blocked.
@ Facebook scale, w/ more than a active billion users, this is disingenuous, @ best-- what are the raw numbers? If the average user posted 100 articles during election season, then, less than a billion article postings were hoaxes? That is definitely NOT comforting...
That's not actually what the article says. It's saying the that sense of identity was mostly experienced as a set of relationships and roles and that an identity distinct from any role or relationship became more common place after mirrors and the clear self picture that provided to people.

It's also not "plainly false" ... most people identify themselves by their roles and relationships. If you ask people to describe themselves they will universally use role and relationship descriptors: computer programmer, cop, Catholic, mother, grandfather, ... It is common for people who retire to have difficulty with the loss of identity that their job and role their occupation provided.

The reasoning seems pretty cut and dry as well in consideration with cancer - the patient wants to live, and is likely going to be spending tens of thousands of dollars on care already - what's another few thousand to relocate and live where the best care is available?

Its no good unless it's negatively geared.
This is pretty obvious right?

A few years ago in the US there was talk about requiring the 1st checked airline bag to be free. This is the same thing. The bill was put forward by a respected politician.

These are the types of issues that make me think educating the public on this stuff is incredibly important.
One benefit is trams aren't subject to traffic, but theoretically you could have a dedicated bus lane to achieve that same result.
Who cares what the UK legal definition is? That definition is pretty arbitrary, and could include a lot of things that the average person wouldn't consider "hateful". The UK in particular has notoriously strict limits on freedom of speech that are incredibly antithetical to the US.

I don't really agree with the quote. But I think it's perfectly defensible. For starters, "illegal immigrant" isn't a race. Trump never said anything about hispanics in general, or people that were born in the US. I believe in context the quote didn't apply to legal immigrants either.

It's really disturbing to me that this climate has become so polarized, that anyone that says something you disagree with is "hate speech". Whether or not illegal immigration actually increases crime, it's a perfectly debatable issue. I think it's probably not true, but I can certainly understand why people would be concerned about it. I wouldn't consider those people racists.

Some open source projects have "Easy to Fix" issues to get people on the roll (like Scikit-Learn), but many don't.

Some have overview of their source code and their design principles (like Redis) but many don't.

Some have good documentation of how to get your patches in main tree but many (especially those not hosted on github) don't have it.

Most notably for C/C++ projects, the undocumented dependencies to build the library can waste hours at a time.

Open source is great (I have contributed to a couple of projects) but not all projects are equal in terms of quality/easy-to-hack.

Brad Fitzpatrick has also written quite a bit about this http://brad.livejournal.com/2409049.html
If AT&T wished to be consumer friendly, they'd implement this in an opt-in manner.

Any plan for OSX support in the future?
> Another nice benefit of self driving cars that are shared is the major reduction in the need to all this excess parking.

I would think that applied to any shared cars, including taxis and ride-hailing services. Why would the self-driving feature reduce parking demand beyond that?

You have to be careful with isolation transformers because there is one gotcha... the ground pin normally passes through to earth. I've witnessed someone blow up a nice $5000 Agilent oscilloscope before I could stop them because they didn't understand how to use an IT and plugged the scope into it so they could probe AC. Bad news, you're supposed to plug your test device into the IT not the scope because the BNC connectors in almost all oscilloscopes are connected straight through to the earth pin.

I heard "POW" from across the lab as soon as he clipped the probe on and knew I should have warned him. Nobody was hurt apart from our lab budget.
>That's no excuse to let fascists march.

WTF. Dude, you are from the country that gave us Hitler and Nazi party, and you call national holiday celebration a fascists march?
Wouldn't that completely depend on the quality? Sure if it ends up being slimy crap then you'd avoid it, but what if they manage to engineer it so each cheap steak is Kobe-beef quality?
As mentioned below, a reasonable estimate of the cost is $30.

They could also sell replacement user swappable magsafe cords and defang many of the complaints. But then they couldn't effectively charge $90 for a replacement cord.
According to their profile, the author of the post is a native German speaker. In German, the same word ("schwer") means both "heavy" and "difficult" or "serious" (in the sense that somebody in such a situation is carrying a heavy burden). The literal translation would be "heavy".

English is a Germanic language, so perhaps in a sense this meaning has always been part of it. As you point out, even if it's not considered completely idiomatic most people would have no trouble interpreting the meaning.
Is Avocado butter a thing yet?
Yes, I personally have been very surprised by how positive the reaction has been. My home has a lot of small shops around ("chaiwalla" tea booths, tiny grocery "kirana" shops, little idly shops, lots of roadside vendors, etc.), and the reaction has been almost universally positive. There's of course a bit of grumbling about cash being hard to find in the first two days, but even those come in a manner similar to how one might complain about rain - taken as an inevitable small nuisance in the larger scheme of things.

One part of the explanation is that these are the same folks that often deal with the small politicians and exploitative moneylenders - so now, seeing these corrupt people suffer greatly from this move, they're full of heartfelt praise for the central govt. At least half the praise I hear has been in the form of "you should have seen that politician's face" or "that moneylender is roaming all over town trying to change his black money".

Come on, now, why was the title changed? The originally submitted title, "Poor people pay for parking even when they can’t afford a car," is the title of the article, and it's true, not click bait at all.
Here's an example of a good tram system:

http://dyob.com.au/sites/default/files/u9/96%20North%20Carlt...

It's separated from the traffic so it's fast, doesn't have associated tyre and asphalt maintenance costs, and each tram carries over 200 people maximum. The service is frequent - about every five to seven minutes - and much smoother and more comfortable than a bus.
What you ask for is impossible and you know it. No one has ever claimed that we will have the tech to revive a human being in a year. That is impossible with current technology. All I am saying is that it's very likely to be possible with future technology.

Unless you are claiming that technology is going to magically stop advancing right now in 2016, it's a good idea to get cryopreserved.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Totally disregarding the morality of eating meat, there are many examples throughout history of things that were previously considered morally acceptable that are now frowned upon or are outright banned. Your prediction seems like it could very easily come true.
My point is that you can force any argument you want to fit your own narrative. So out of thin air you can pull whatever you want and spin it so that it's some form of oppression of the rich on the poor.

To blame parking spaces for raising prices is really pathetic and delusional.

The problem is that different factions of poverty activists will pick differing things to be offended by, so one group may think that having free parking space is the rich oppressing the poor, but if the store changes it to paid parking, other activists will say that is oppressing the poor. However it's reported the same way so it makes it sound like all poverty activists are in unison but they're not. But the media doesn't care as long as the rich are being vilified.
This is so crazy. Just out of curiosity, is there a list of places around the world which are claim-able yet still unclaimed?
They most definitely do not have an anti-status quo bias. They have an anti-right bias.
Insightful..
I really don't have words for this.

The problem is we the people. We treat anyone in prison or with a government label of felon, sex offender etc. as less than human being. I can't blame the prison university.

I haven't followed this specific Datastax vs ASF discussion, but have seen similar battles played out in recent years between some popular projects and ASF and even ESF (Eclipse foundation vs Vert.x project for example)

Does anyone here know what value do these foundations bring to projects, in this day of cloud hosting/computing that make these foundations worth for the projects?

This has existed forever. Cleaning up is not easy as most religions run their worship places under these trusts.

Politically very hard to deal with this situation.

But people who refuse to eat lab meat will eventually die off. I mean, there are still people buying newly harvested fur, but they seem to be few and far between. Real meat will probably carry a social stigma as soon as fake meat becomes just as good or nearly as good.
It does, however self driving taxis can be operated far cheaper than human driver taxis.

So if the cost of running your car is say $5000 a year and you can get an subscription robocar service for $100 a week then a large number of people will switch.

At the moment it's only cheaper to go car free if it's possible for you to walk/ride/catch public transport to work Mon-Fri and catch the occasional taxi when needed.
I think this Wikipedia article covers most of that situation in a quick-to-read format:

There are some other articles out there describing these areas, but I can't recall where to find them.

Most people own cars. One the anticipated benefits of self-driving cars is that they can be shared rather than owned. If they are shared they can be constantly in use rather than parked and when parked do not need to be parked where they were last used.
I would contend the opposite: all forms of indeterminism are self contradictory. Where does your free will come from? Either a choice is predetermined or it's truly random. What else could it be?
People could learn a lot from Mormons. They haven't forgotten the importance of planning for survival.
In the US the 3 main disaster scenarios with high likelihood are:

1. New Madrid earthquake. If a 7.9 magnitude earthquake (same as quake in New Zealand today) hit's the New Madrid fault quite a few links between east and west would be severed that could take months to repair. Up to 15 nuclear reactors would go offline possibly permanently. This would cause long term power outages on a wide scale.

2. A Carrington level CME.

3. The end of the petrodollar slavery system.

Any of these events would cause major and probably permanent lifestyle changes for the survivors. Having food and water is important but having a plan to get more food and water is more important. Having a gun is useful not only for self defense but also so you have an easy way out should it come to that.

> It seemed to me that credit cards were supposed to be fast and convenient, but if you're choreographed for cash, it ain't so.

This is very apparent in (many parts of) Europe. Cash is so much faster there than in America, for a few reasons. The primary cause, I think, is the fact that the prices are generally round numbers, with tax included. This means that you can, in most cases, pay with a small number of coins or bills. In the USA you'd be wrestling with pennies.

All peppering does is make it trivially more difficult to check for duplicate passwords. A system with a decent amount of GPU power can try passwords against SHA-1 at billions of attempts per second.
A reasonable concern, but a few thoughts:

* Increasing use of public transit benefits everyone, including by reducing greenhouse gas emissions

* Almost everything government does benefits some citizens more than others. Police help some more than others; some make more use of the water system, fire department, the courts, health care, other forms of transit, Social Security, etc. I want my society to provide those services to those who need them; I need some services myself some days.
I see another advantage: it may be safe to do things with lab-grown meat that aren't safe with farm-grown. Tuna without overfishing concerns. Swordfish without the mercury. Chicken that can be served medium rare. Or ground beef for that matter.

On top of that, this approach to meat offers extreme customizability. Imitating what comes out of a cow in terms of fat, protein, flavor, is where they've got to start. And the first cars had fake horse heads. Eventually they can optimize for health or taste in a way nature can't. Fois gras times ten.

If this approach becomes truly economical, I would expect it to destroy traditional meat the way cars destroyed horse-drawn carriages: through sheer superiority of performance options.

Why are self-driving cars more easily or more likely shared than human-driven cars? Someone else pointed out that they cost less to operate, but I wonder how much will change. People like owning things, including nice cars.

Because the 'poor people' angle is a red herring and thus arguably misleading, and perhaps clickbait as well since it makes the story more sensational. Those are the two reasons why titles should be changed on HN, as described at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

The article's actual argument is that free parking forces people who don't drive to subsidize those who do. That's a sentence from the article, so it could make a legit title, but in this case we picked another representative sentence, from the article's second paragraph. Either of those seems fine to me.

Edit: ok, since we got other complaints and this is a borderline call anyhow, we've restored the "Poor people..." title.

>Trump "seemed surprised" by the scope of the president's responsibilities, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

Trump's aides were also apparently unaware that the entire staff of the president working in the White House's West Wing would need to be replaced, according to the Journal.

Obama reportedly will spend more time counseling Trump about the presidency than most presidents do with their successors.

Quite disturbing. I really don't believe he or his aides understood what the job was about.

There will be ZERO reaction when (not if) Russia invades Estonia. Remember Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008? Guess who was the ONLY one actually doing more than public statements from the comfort of their own office(and note that some like Merkel didnt even criticize Russian aggression)? Polish president flew over warzone (Russian controlled air with active military aircraft around) to join Georgian parliament in protest. Guess where is Polish president Kaczynski now - died mysteriously in plane accident over Russian airspace two years later.
