I think if we just made everyone poor then no one could afford things that use gas and electricity. Then we could all live in huts and eat tree bark and berries.

There are a few steps to make this vision a reality.

First, take everything away from the rich (not us, the other rich people). They're the worst offenders anyway.

Second, now that we've taken everything away from the rich the economy will collapse, but we have all the rich people's money, so we use it to pay the massive amount of unemployed people to destroy houses and cars because those things are bad.

Next is what I like to call "the final solution". Now that we don't have a civilization, we can't support this many people on Earth so we need some sort of inquisition to make sure the only people left alive are true believers to our cause. Also, since birth control isn't really a thing anymore, we'll have a lottery to see who gets castrated (we and our
lineage are exempt of course).

Finally, we retire to our mansion (which we spared because you can't expect leaders of this great cause to live in a hut) where our servants hunt and gather for us while we formulate some sort of moral code, a belief system, to keep the masses from getting uppity.

As long as the system makes us seem morally superior, despite being total hypocrites, we should be able to keep things in control for a few hundred years.
CreateProcess() doesn't care what the file extension is when you pass the executable filename into the lpApplicationName parameter.

I used this feature when I worked on a VR app written in Unity, and I had a little launcher program that checked for updates and then started the main program. I didn't want people to bypass the launcher, so I renamed the main program to have a .VR extension instead of .exe, preventing it from being run directly from File Explorer. The launcher had a .exe extension and could be run normally, and then it used CreateProcess to run the FooBar.VR executable.
That's typically the case for us, although there's an occasional "before I finish it, what do you think of this direction?". Not a problem when rare and called out special.

Agree with everything the author said.

I'll also go further and say you should be using a password manager, so even if you do end up getting scammed out of a login, they can't easily compromise your other accounts (obviously this depends on the kind of account being scammed).

Use a password manager and 2FA whenever possible!
Does it work on Raspberry Pi?

First, the penalty was a recall of the affected cars. About eleven million of them, in many countries, not just the US. This is almost exactly the definition of "proportional". Second read the article - they're not doing layoffs. Third, don't complain to me. I was simply pointing out why the article was interesting.
They certainly care about having gigabytes of mail that they can scan for patterns and use to target ads.
These are empirical remedies and there are many of them.

My now-wife essentially chased me to east Africa, after I got a one year research grant about two months into dating. The complications and many difficulties of figuring out day to day life in radically different circumstances was great for our relationship. The day to day stuff we deal with now is cake by comparison.

Throwing yourself into radically different circumstances, far outside of your comfort zone, is also a great way to learn about problems which aren't evident from the warm confines of career or academia. I highly recommend it.

On the other hand, Trump and his associated band of fascists requires active resistance. Running away is counter productive politically. I'm reading the New Jim Crow right now, which talks directly about how the most racist, regressive policies in the US have historically been passed after the collapse of progressive resistance. There's going to be a lot of work to be done in the next four years...

> The approach is also not very cheap. At $40 in ad spend and at least a day to get the results, you could have just paid someone to write one or more blogspam articles, which is what this will optimize for.

I disagree. If you're one of the (few) companies that spend a significant amount of time planning and writing articles, then $40 is a very low amount to pay to learn which angle/theme/lede will get the best results, before your team spends time planning, researching, writing, and editing.

Outside of the HN bubble, millions and millions of people use Google products and have no reason to treat this as the straw that breaks the camel's back.

And where does the click go? A page "Thanks for voting on this title!"

If you do that for a few days, people are going to stop clicking on your clickbait titles with no content.

I totally get rotating headlines to see which gets more clicks. I do not get rotating titles before the article is written.. that is going to make users quit clicking on your ads very quick ;)
This is what I always heard about visiting Paris and it honestly put me off visiting for a long time. But what I found when I actually went to Paris was the exact opposite. Everyone I interacted with loved the opportunity to practice their English and everyone was incredibly nice and accommodating. Now it's probably very different when you are visiting as a tourist compared to living there as an expat.

Yeah because you'll get money instead of employee benefits. Money you might be forced by law to spend on things like health insurance. Not to mention the additional effort on your part when it comes to securing contracts, managing taxes, insurance and just overall having less job security.
Point taken, but....

Humans have been baking bread for thousands of years. At this very moment I could find 100 sources of information, free and for sale about the specifics of baking bread. I could get these in the context of baking at home, baking for a group, or baking for commerce.

Contrast that with the poster's problem of implementing an architecture for an identity access management system. (I have experience with this).

There is no way to relate the tasks involved in baking for profit to designing and building a working technical system that likely is highly unique to the technologies and circumstances of his environment.

I quite sure IBM could set out to design and build 500 profitable bakeries with their own people and be successful on upwards of 90% of cases. Those people setting out to build 500 different <insert your favorite complex computer system here> would fail upwards 50%.

I'm not saying running a bakery is easy, but I am saying running a bakery is less stressful than implementing a functioning computer system.
Nobody wakes up in the morning and thinks "I'm going to do some evil today." Everyone has their own definition of the word. And trusting a corporation is never a good idea.

I'm a little dubious that it was actually Token Ring, based on the description. From "coaxial cable with fun twist-lock fittings" it sounds more like thin-wire Ethernet-- 10Base-2. That would be a lot lower cost and definitely more common than token ring in '95.

This is extremely unlikely to ever happen. As long as people have .cmd and .bat files they need to run, cmd.exe will still be around. They're not going to just remove it and break all those scripts.
I guess the part about MSSQL not running on Linux would need to be updated. Then again, when I tried to download it I couldn't. Probably need to try the download in Edge or IE...

To my knowledge you can't run Thunderbird as a background service so you'll have to routinely run it. This can be a job scheduled to run in the background.
You could also sign up for Google Suite on your personal domain.

I used to be on Fastmail and started running into serious deliverability issues. I'd send emails that'd never be received and people would send me emails that'd never show in my inbox.

I spent a month trying to get their support to figure out what was wrong, but the response was just "there's nothing wrong" the entire time.

Used to love Fastmail, but can't recommend it to anyone that depends on their email.
I am aware of how much smaller of a percentage of users will be affected outside of HN. But given the exponentially wider audience of say, an AP story, we can assume at the very least, multiples of the size of the group of HN people who will switch, will switch after seeing the news story.
Interesting idea, but type nul >> file doesn't change the metadata, perhaps because nothing was written. But yes, it would at least not destroy files.

The idea itself (essentially pre-selling content) is not novel. Old print magazines used to have ads for products that didn't exist, but would if the ad generated enough interest.
Introducing Custom Elements
POWER8/9 isn't fully open. Read the license agreements. While you get access to a lot of stuff, there is a lot of fine print you are ignoring. A lot of the deep docs are behind paywalls.

To get access to POWER8/9 literature you sign away your rights to OPEN-POWER. Also if you make anything for POWER8/9, under a public license (what license you can/can't use are dictated by the license agreement), using docs obtained from an OPEN-POWER member company if that member company upon leaving the OPEN-POWER may claim ownership of your code.

They'll really only let you use 3 Clause BSD or Apache2. Linux has the only exception for GPLv2, and GPLv3 is banned, using it on a project can have your membership to OPEN-POWER revoked, and your code ownership transferred to IBM. If they decide to purpose it.

OPEN-POWER isn't open. The docs are free and if you write anything too useful a high paying member can seize your software. The only protection from this, is to buy in as a high level enterprise member. OPEN-POWER is down right predatory for research free-tier membership.

Sadly, it appears Google has abandoned their former motto, "Don't be evil". This is completely sociopathic and amoral and a human had to have approved the action.

It's overwhelmingly likely that without the massive media backlash, Google would have carried out their "digital executions" on their otherwise defenseless customers. I don't say this lightly and it pains me to say it but they need to be regulated.

The implication I see (I am not an expert) is that stress was/is used to get our ancestors and other mammals out of short-term problems, i.e. to escape a predator. It's not useful or healthy as a lifestyle, or else evolution would have favored the "baseline" of modern humans to be closer to what our "stressed" state is.

It seems to follow that stress is useful when it's really needed to make you sharper, but one should prioritize getting out of that state as soon as possible.

The End of Identity Liberalism
No, it's motivated that way to get support, but it's about source and credibility.

Namely, the traditional media market is an advertising platform: it makes its money by selling stories and perspectives in the form of media narrative to its audience. Large corporations and governments contract with the media to determine what those stories are.

You will get stories, and entertaining ones, sure. But it's hardly "true" in the true/false sense. It's like asking if the story Goldilocks is true or false. It isn't either.

Indeed, that news media industry sold stories to the American people to - for example - get them into the Iraq war. This was a combination of very true and also false facts. You could point to any particular story and argue pointlessly about whether the individual story was true or false, like Goldilocks.

Because of widespread distrust of the 'narrative morals' of mainstream media, alternatives have been appearing. There is a desire by information moguls - both public and private industry - to maintain credibility and to make in various forms alternative narratives not feasible.

For public appeal, selective choices are being taken to highlight articles with clearly fabricated facts, with the message being: all alternatives are like this. The first part is true: there exist articles that are complete bullshit both inside and outside the main "credible" media industry. But the second part is not. There's plenty of very well researched, very well documented, very well analysed information that does not get any play in the mainstream media.

I remember recently an audio recording of John Kerry talking to Syrian rebel forces was leaked. I got the NYT take. And then I listened to the leaked audio.

The content was completely different than the NYT tried to make it out to be and in some cases the point Kerry was making was the exact opposite of the NYT had published. In this case, it was quite clear what the political implications would be of honestly reporting on the content, and including the parts that were selectively edited out.
What Apple should really do is a lot more:
1: register the moment that the phone was last held by the owner
2: provide continuous tracking data to the owner
3: take photos periodically, including if medical information is accessed
4: email the user with a standard "so you have lost your phone" message
5: add the phone to blacklists on every telco it has a relationship with
6: report the loss to police
7: send information to the owner and police as soon as that phone accesses any network.
Etc.
The reason it happens so frequently, it that developers eventually realise that consulting is the only way to get sustainable source of income for FOSS and big corporations are usually the only ones willing to pay for it.
FiveThirthyEight's 47 Weirdest Charts from 2015
This website looks more "designed"

Not to mention the design has an uncomfortably political slant. Why is the front graphic a bunch of "take the power back" fists raised in the air? They seem to be saying, "don't use our software unless you identify as Revolucionario anticapitalista"
What do you mean by secure? What kinds of OS functions and capabilities do you consider the purview of an OS from a security standpoint?
Sad as it is to say that this is necessary, I think the nice graphic design will make this a lot more credible.
In bank or medical situations you can run into situations where even though the people all know English, they might not have the necessary vocabulary to express themselves in English or lack certification proving they do. Anyone who doesn't want to fuck up simply won't use English and require a translator.

As with a lot of witticisms, I guess just about every country attribute it to some native; in Norway, 'everybody' knows nobel laureate, author and bon vivant Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson wrote this.

Google needs to realize that their services (such as Gmail) are critical to a lot of people. I understand why they don't want to offer free support for a free product, they would get flooded with useless support requests. However, they need to offer a paid support option. Something like $25 per support request call. This would reduce the calls to only truly urgent and necessary issues.

It's possible to get something similar using Google Apps and a custom domain. But they need to start offering paid support for the free services (@gmail.com) as well.

I love Alchemy! I know it has been painted as a woo-woo science and it is, this is what we did before we knew better.

However Alchemy is foundation for number of scientific disciplines, most of the medicines we are using today are using discoveries and procedures championed by alchemists.

On more meta level, Alchemy is offering a way of thinking about the world, which is beneficial and can help you understand on a deeper level how things are working.

I guess I have to note, a lot of people are using and abusing alchemy name for some metaphysical ideas of their own, that is not alchemy. :)

Frankly, I see whataboutism being used regardless of political persuasion. (Is this a whataboutist response to whataboutism?)

I think the only way to combat accusations of whataboutism is to rigorously apply the same standards whenever these things are brought up and do one's best to remove even the appearance of partisanship when making them. That can be tough to do.

You know, stuff like this is actually where people can cross party lines and work together. Find an issue that should be non-partisan, set aside the other issues they may disagree on, and get something positive done.

Edit to add: I didn't think this was controversial. If you down vote, I'd appreciate it if you would take the time to comment in the interest of communication.

Producing false statements about people with intent is libel. The people who deploy such bots should be held accountable every bit as much as any journalist. Job title means nothing: a fake news purveyor and a journalist should be held to the same standard.
> Now it's probably very different when you are visiting as a tourist compared to living there as an expat.

It is - rightfully so. Expectations towards a tourist are very different and the matters a tourist needs to settle are much simpler than the matters a resident needs to settle. Interactions with the local administration, your landlord, ... A lot of that will be very hard if you're not speaking the language. Getting a grasp for the local culture is easier if you speak the language. Also, if you're still stuck with not speaking a single word of your host countries language, a lot of people will consider that impolite. Nobody expects perfection, but at least show a little effort :)
Interesting idea, partly because it is the total opposite of what I want in an alarm clock: everyone's different!

As a heavy sleeper I'm always groggy and not social when I get up. My perfect alarm clock would have a loud, blaring alarm (imagine what a movie alarm would sound like to indicate nuclear war or some other form of certain doom). I think I'd either be annoyed by or sleep through something cute like laughter.
I might be proven wrong, but I doubt it is going anywhere.

Some very interesting quotes in here....

"We have, for example, the physical connection between Caltrain and BART at Millbrae, but we haven’t coordinated schedules, so sometimes there’s a long wait. And we don’t hold trains if a train is late, so we don’t guarantee the meet.... BART and Caltrain just don’t talk to each other and haven’t since the divorce."

Are there any news articles to substantiate the claim that Kaspersky readily gives information to the Russian government?
FUD. Trying to involve conspiracy theories about intelligence agencies. Trying to motivate a list (of two?) "hallmarks" that are neither a list nor hallmarks.

Regarding Spring, the Arab Spring was externally organized. It fed on real desires of real people inside of autocratic regimes.

For another example, take a look at the "Cuban Spring" and Zunzuneo.

In any case, please stop spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt. The internet has enough misinformation and confusion without specific attempts to introduce more.
