I'm going to ignore the personal jibes you've made and ask you a couple of simple questions. No hand-waving answers please.

1. I'm a shopkeeper in 2017 and all my black money is gone: burnt it, paid a fine on it, whatever. A customer comes in and makes a purchase on a new currency note. What prevents me from not reporting this to the tax authority _because_ of 2016's demonetisation? Note that there is no tracking of cash.

2. I'm a corrupt government official and I want some 'mithai' to select your tender application. I want to get paid in new 2000 rupee notes. What stops me from accepting a cash bribe?

> I personally want to see more corporate leadership taking responsibility and leadership for backing up their personal views and those of their employees. A good example is how Grubhub's CEO Matt Maloney sent a company-wide email about the culture of the company that I respect quite a lot.

I'm guessing that's likely because you agree with the political stances of Spez and Mr Maloney. Would you be equally supportive of a leader of a large company espousing the virtue of traditional gender roles or other socially conservative stances?

Let's remove the subsidies for those and then you can get back to me about the cost effectiveness of things like nuclear.

Moralized Rationality
I've been considering PRK for quite some time, but am a little iffy on it due to the recovery time. I see some people saying it takes 3 weeks, others saying 7 weeks for a full recovery. Like many others here, I'm a developer so I have to look at a screen for a significant portion of the day for work. Do these recovery times mean no working at all, or just that it may be strained? I don't really get enough vacation time to be off work for that long :/
-1 to the title change. The current title doesn't convey the situation effectively and imo serves to hide the true nature of the incident. There isn't really an article title to source from here, anyway.
Reddit has evolved. IMO it as a place to let the lefts and rights to hash it out serves a much better purpose than just a cat picture showoff, (not that I don't enjoy the cat pictures).
Some months ago I got FreeBSD running in a Macbook Air, and surprisingly the UEFI boot worked out of the box. I say surprisingly because when I tried, the Linux efiboot didn't work, the only way to boot linux was through GRUB.

I had almost everything working (Audio, suspend on close, i3 or gnome) but never got the wifi to work, I even tethered from my android phone to the Macbook and it worked very good. But in the end it was to annoying to do often.
If only FreeBSD supported that wireless chip, I'd be writing this on FreeBSD. When the wayland and updated intel drivers come to FreeBSD maybe i'll try it again, but wifi is a deal breaker.

I always wondered why there isn't wifi drivers for this macbook in FreeBSD if Fedora had them (and AFAIK Fedora only ships open drivers)
I have a hard time understanding what's implied by questions like this, particularly in online forums. I'd rather not assume, as that could easily lead to misunderstanding. In the interest of discussion, would you say what you mean rather than make me guess?

In general many poor people, even in cities,
do not have bank accounts and face lot of
issues when opening such accounts.

Sorry, but I absolutely can't stand when I see these kinds of arguments, because everyone reading this would believe this to be true apriori.

Check this article from Feb 2015. Only 23k families were without a bank account. In a country of 250m families! In the last two years I think they opened 200m - or something like that - accounts. http://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/nea...

Agree about it not being very well managed, specially the ATM calibration issue.

But I have no doubt, it would massively help in making digital payments mainstream. Already since 9 Nov, digital payments have overtaken credit/debit cards as stated in this article. Possibly it would even make India an even bigger market than China.

It would also fight tax evasion - right now India borrows 60b$-70b$ every year - when coupled with tax reforms like GST which is set to kickoff next year. Btw, since last few years you need to supply an Tax Id whenever making transactions of more than 1k$ in cash, so this step fits in perfectly with that as well.

There's some short term pain, but the medium/long term gains massively outweigh it.
I recently learned of a CSS property, object-fit, than can achieve the same positioning effects as background-size for DOM elements without having to inject background-image style attributes. But, unsurprisingly, it's got no IE support.

Why do you make that distinction? AFAIK reddit is not a free speech platform.
I've been here fairly regularly for 8 years and didn't know about it, so I'm not sure I agree that it's "well known". It definitely isn't in the FAQ's section about how stories are ranked: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html -- which, in my opinion, would be an excellent place to describe it.

I'm glad dang answered though since I've been wondering for quite a while why some stories seemed to sink much faster than others.
Facts do matter, and I will always be grumpy at your board for not more strenuously arguing in favor of you and against your detractors.

I hope you took good notes during those times and write your memoirs someday. What was it like to become a public figure after having such an impact on our industry? And then, I'm convinced you were just at the wrong place career-wise at the wrong time, what was it like to be a public figure caught up in a media firestorm? That's a story I'd like to read someday.

Also, what are you going to do next, if you're in a sharing mood?
Note that this is from May 2013. Real estate values in my area (and many others) have appreciated substantially since then.

Considering the thread thread above, I certainly wouldn't call it "well moderated". The all caps and inciting users come off as extremely childish and unprofessional.

/r/The_Donald is a place where a mix of trolls, fascists, and white nationalists get riled up, and work to start a horrifying new chapter in history.

Fascists and white nationalists defend it by claiming it's just clownish fun. (which, unamusingly, is EXACTLY the same explanation given by the supporters of fascism in Italy, and Russia, and Germany). Trolls really are having fun, they just don't give a fuck.

It's propaganda. It's gross. All of the donald's loser readers and writers have the right to share their bad ideas; but they have no particular right to say it on Reddit.

I disagree. As nice as it would be, subreddits do not exist in isolation from one another and very often, trends and behavior set in one subreddit trickle to others. This was noticeable leading up to the removal of /r/fatpeoplehate et al, and it's noticable right now. The flamewar between the radical left and right flows onto almost all default subreddits, and it does drive overall quality down.

Oh that's sad - do you have link to an announcement? I wonder why..
It generally shouldn't be. It's my understanding that once you take on the investment and corporate governance that Reddit has, you'll have "need to know" controls in place that prevent the appropriation of company resources for personal use -- so even the CEO doesn't have the kind of unrestricted database access needed to do this kind of thing.
I find it odd that people who build websites for a living didn't understand that... Like.. They control the data... They have complete access to the database.. Do you NOT think they could edit comments without updating the edited at timestamp?
Surely if Jack Dorsey edited someone's tweet or Eric Schmidt edited a Gmail user's email, that would be cause for great concern. Which user or users it happened to is irrelevant to the breach of trust it represents to all users of the platform.

Lol! So, this means MSNBC,CNN,NBC,cbs,CNBC and all the others are not free speech? I refuse to read whatever this article contains. The biggest offenders of contrived,FAKE news have been the people that we have trusted. There is no such thing as journalism when it comes to the people who are being churned out by our American colleges, they are useless opinionated, closed minded, biased, paid off stooges for our government. The fact that this is some kind of "news" is part an parcel to the problems inherent to the free flow of information Among the media of the US.

The 2016 election was a pinnacle that demonstrated unequivocally as to how our current news organizations determine what is news and what is not. These institutions are making every attempt to redeem themselves as truthful reporters of fact when we all know that they are nothing more than bought and paid for, low IQ clowns. You look at a guy lone Wolf Blitzer.. this guy is known the world over as some spectacle when in fact he is a complete idiot.

I'm answering a comment chain about how Subgraph OS does not 'isolate' the network or USB stacks which is frequently brought up as an important deficiency in comparison to Qubes OS. My point is that this isn't a significant advantage of Qubes because such attacks are rare and difficult, and because they're even harder to perform against Subgraph OS.

I wasn't talking about AppVMs at all, but you can of course persistently backdoor Qubes AppVMs in numerous ways by writing to the user home directory. In Subgraph OS we design our application sandboxes to prevent exactly this.
>What I don't understand is why they don't understand that.

Propaganda. Miseducation. Appeals to emotion. The usual totalitarian work. But don't think these tactics only work on the "left". We're all being played.

Introducing the All-New DVDFab 10 with 30-percent Deep Discount
I highly doubt secretly editing a comment of another user is one of his account's listed privledges. Not marked edited, I highly doubt its a built-in feature of the website for even administrators. What if a low level employee, who doesn't even have privilege to ban users, had leveraged his technical back-end access to their databases to alter a comment. Act as the person who made the original comment, effectively impersonating them by using their technical access to reddit's data to basically 'hack' that users account. I highly doubt this is 'within his rights' as a founder, as someone here commented...
DRF is at its best when you develop an application from the ground up using it. It also "does the right thing," and helps you stay RESTful. In particular, if you use its HyperlinkModelSerializers and its baked ViewSets, it just plain works, no fuss. But it's important to know what these shortcuts are doing so that when you need to write custom APIs that go beyond CRUD, you know what to do.

For very simple APIs, DRF is overkill, and if I only need a couple JSON endpoints, I don't bother with it. But if I need full access to my models, you just can't beat it.
And thoughts for microservice architectures? I run flask for our microservice backend and have a angular frontend decoupled from the backend
After doing freelance for a while you learn to insist on an advance. The 10% discount is a great way to incentivize the process though.

Additionally, rush rates are critical. The first time I gave up a weekend with the kids for something a client "had to have by Monday" and then we monitored to see it wasn't even looked at for 3 weeks was the last. If something has to be done outside of your normal scheduling, charge a rush rate of double. When there is a cost higher than asking, it's shocking how much stuff isn't really needed by Monday.
Hacked or Not, Audit This Election (And All Future Ones)
Yep, that's the libertarian dream. It makes me nostalgic for the 90's when the web was new.

Now we know that spam and abuse make any large Internet forum suck. Your choice: moderation or cesspool.

Also, getting rid of the really extreme filth on the Internet is no fun and people generally have to be paid to do it, which is one of the things that keeps larger social networks in business.
I remember spez or another admin actually saying that /r/all gets relatively little traffic. Something like less than 10% of users ever open it.
Anybody can go through the comment history of any redditor and know their dark secrets.

I don't mind Reddit fucking up. If they were competent they would have monetized the users a long time ago and it would be an broken mess that feeds daily spam to my inbox like every other social media platform. Reddit is too valuable to take seriously.

Reddit Architecture – Web Development
I find it interesting that none of the responses to your question link to direct primary sources. They're all third-hand accounts of how "they're in cahoots."
> What I mean is that self-awareness is not automatic.

Without regard to the question at hand - I think the lack of self-awareness is fairly evident in western society in general.

To extrapolate, would mean that a large portion of western society is not aware of their own consciousness or the influence it has on their day-to-day lives
There was a famous story in 2008 about a Chinese silicon production facility that was illegally dumping SiCl4, but if you're going to pick the most horrifying Chinese examples you'd think that nothing at all can be made safely.

There are some interesting moral gymnastics required there, no? The Chinese lead the world in PV manufacturing right now. Is this PV-revolution necessarily built on dirty manufacturing? Would we still have a PV-revolution if we weren't so accepting of an environmental disaster that takes place in a distant country?
"no fun" is an understatement. It can be psychologically damaging. I found this article really revealing:

No idea. It's always the first couple files that seem to grow the data used by the app to it's monstrous size. After four or five PDFs it levels out. Another 2MB will only take a couple MB.
A client I did some work a while ago for didn't so much refuse to pay but just didn't pay. Excuses, ignoring emails/calls etc. After about 7 months of this going on, I told them that they had 5 days to pay otherwise the only copy of the site I'd built for them was going to be deleted and I'd just accept the loss.

The website wasn't actually live at this point but obviously they wanted it live because they paid up fairly promptly.
If the runtime code is audited and compiled in a secure compiler then the executable is good and secure. Run it on a clean system(embedded system) which is also physically secure. Its not only possible it already exists. Many countries do have tried and tested such systems (am not sure if compiler is audited by them) used in production.
Really? I always was not impressed.

Bad title; everything can be fixed but the fix implemented may not be ones favorite solution. The fix here is having a color blind setting that skews those two colors when enabled.
I would disagree with your claim of Reddit users not creating original content; the moment you step out of the default subs, you have great niche communities where you can find absolute gems on a regular basis.

The key is to look in the comments, not in the main post itself.
On a similar note, back when cell phones were just getting started, I started parsing the ownership of the cell towers. I noticed an unusually high correlation of Israeli companies owning them (back before the phone companies themselves really started investing in them). Now think about the purpose of an imsi catcher/stingray. The Israelis seem to be on the edge of cybersecurity across the board. I know while in Iraq I got lots of training that was decidely sourced from Israel too.

All that being said, Israel is also known as being just as active if not moreso than Russia and China in their espionage against the US. I think that's also worth considering.
I generally agree with this, but with respect to IoT, let's be honest: these are things, and they are connecting to the Internet from some country.

Would it be so bad if the law required "any connected device sold in the US must permit firmware updates, at least for security patches?"

If the devices are on a US network, it seems reasonable to require them to meet certain standards. Other countries can set their own standards, just like we have FCC standards for wifi/spectrum usage in the US, and in the EU the CE sets the standards. This has not balkanized wifi; if properly done, I don't think it would balkanize IoT.
thank you for the alternative explanation. your are most likely correct and my comment was a bit over the top for the situation.

i still stick by my point that there is a level of pedantry on HN that really turns me off
Any thoughts on why they wouldn't have released this under a Github repo?
I really want to try this out. I was a heavy FreeBSD user for many years in the 2000s, and I drifted back into Linux. One thing I will say for FreeBSD, it's harder to get dialed in but once it is, it's very solid. I think with enough tinkering FreeBSD would run really well on a MBP, I just wonder if it would provide a lot of advantages over OSX to make it worth the time.
I agree. I get that free speech is important, but humans on the internet are vile. That is a fact and it hasn't changed in the decades of online communities we have trialed.

Only communities small enough, or moderated enough, to not be interesting to a troll or nefarious person are spared.

The idea of a completely self governed haven of mass free speech is a wondeful one, but no community large enough stays uncorrupted. It has never worked.

It is the ideals and application of those ideals through moderation that make any community bearable, just like in real life.

If I am to be part of a community I would rather it moderated, otherwise the people of the internet ruin all things in time.

I just want to have useful conversations, not circlejerk over freedom of speech while being interrupted by adolescent screaming.
This kind of equivocation is exactly why we're in this mess to begin with. Yeah, the mainstream networks are not perfect. But they're not in the same league as Brietbart, which in turn is not in the same league as a chain-facebook post stating that the Pope had endorsed Trump.

Words do matter, and they do have a bearing on the real world. Every news story out there is falsifiable (or identifiable as an opinion piece.) For every news source, you can tally a scorecard of how accurate they are.

You can't just equivocate truth away by arguing about who is a clown and who isn't.
"using a custom [FreeBSD] kernel seems tricky in a VMWare/VirtualBox VM"

This flipped a set-once bit, making the rest of the article essentially unreadable due to zero confidence in the writer's technical skill. Also, the lack of "late 2011" in the title makes it pretty misleading.
a "jury of their peers" would likely include a fair # of self-employed folks who've been shafted on payments, so... I'd say a lot.
