Probably it depends on VPN settings. I'm using OpenVPN server running on a VPS in another country. I'm running unbound there, so I'm sure that my DNS responses are legitimate.

Another plus is that I've tweaked unbound config to return NXDOMAIN to some ad networks, so I can browse internet with less ads without adblock.

Yes, that's the point. "The market" is not a system that is suited for this. The market is not going to get people to make cool paths through parks, clean up the neighbourhood, etc. because the market doesn't derive shareholder profits from that at current wages. That work though is indisputably valuable stuff that could be done. Clearly, we have proven that there is plenty more work to go around and that the market is "wrong" about this.
I remember when a friend and I started optimizing a DES library in C at university in 1990. We had the same dynamics of the post, each other skimming off some cycles even when we thought that one of us got to an unbeatable implementation. We obviously had tests to prove correctness and measure speed. Bizarrely there weren't many tests around in the industry back then. I can't remember when I wrote my first unit test after then.
Well, they made their choice. They had the actual biggest country doing everything it can to make them succeed. Or is it better to forget because it was a failure?

Communism failed. Mistakes like that are unforgivable.

Client side image editor is the first thing I thought of.
I couldn't agree more. I think this push is twofold, exactly as you said. It's a way to rationalize Trumps unexpected win and get the populace to agree to more censorship. It's irresponsible at best.
Mounting root file system might nowadays conceivably involve some non-trivial userspace code that never even was implemented in kernel space. Few examples:

- Searching for root filesystem based on it's contents (in simple case UUID, but mechanisms like "contains this file" are used sometimes) instead of "physical" location
- Encrypted root filesystem (requires some kind of UI for entering the passphrase)
- LVM2 (which is set of userspace utilities that configure more general kernel modules that know nothing about the actual on-disk format)
- while there is slightly hackish kernel support for configuring network interfaces before having userspace and mounting rootfs from NFS, such thing cannot possibly deal with all variants of network configuration (eg. VLANs, 802.1x, ...) and possible network filesystems/block devices.
- root on ramdisk, copy-on-write overlay filesystem or something like that.

To summarize: it's entirely possible to have the system boot of PXE, authenticate via WPA-EAP on wifi and fetch it's own root filesystem into ramdisk via HTTPS while storing writes onto NFS somewhere. Implementing all which is required for that in kernel space is neither possible nor useful.

By the way, the point of initramfs is that it is loaded into memory by bootloader using whatever means the bootloader has and the image does not have to be on rootfs accessible to kernel (for PXE it typically isn't).

Some of the basic premises of a lot of economic theories are questionable. E.g. the homo economicus in many economic theories is a fiction.
Wait, I thought it was Kennedy's poor judgement that "led directly to the Cuban Missile Crisis" by placing nukes on the USSR border?
I'd recommend reading far more than The Communist Manifesto to understand the issue better. You're not describing Marx's conception and predictions of communism at all. And you seem to have misunderstood the Manifesto as the definition of communism. That was not its purpose. Its goal is to wake the consciousness of the working class to their condition, explain why this is important in simple terms, and suggest an immediate course of action for helping move society away from capitalism and toward communism. But the Manifesto was not a description of communism itself. For that, you must set the Manifesto aside and dig into Marx's other works. There is no state doling out equal portions of anything to anyone under communism—because, most critically, there is no state.
Ask HN: What would you ask a perfect AI teacher to teach you?
I work at Udacity and am interested in seeing how AI will end up playing a big role in education. I'm just curious -- if a perfect AI we're created that could teach you any concept, what would you prioritise learning? It would still take learning time on your part but the AI would understand your current level and coach and motivate you to learn the necessary concepts to meet your learning goal.

So, you've downloaded the app.

What are the top three things you would ask it to teach you?

Optional: how much time would you give to learning them?

does communism really require trade with capitalist nations to succeed?
No, for Marx, there is no individual ownership, as the first, post-capital phase has removed private ownership of the means of production. There is social ownership only. There is individual participation as part of the social whole, but individual ownership and private property of any sort is abolished.
Absolutely. We're still in the infancy stage of charging infrastructure.

However the time and costs to build them are really pretty small (and will continue to improve with scale). You can easily put them in wherever there is parking and a grid connection.

Businesses, restaurants, malls, hotels, etc, are already starting to figure out that having charging is a great way to attract more customers. We'll see this snowball as market share of EVs grows, and it will get to the point where you can charge at most attractions you'd conceivably want to stop on a long trip.

Tesla's move to PAYG supercharging is also positive for the wider charging industry and should encourage more investment by 3rd-parties.
I like the idea because the faster people get onboard the better it is. Which type of companies do you target? Is your customer a large company with a structure HR department or small / mid company without any process yet? Large companies will be aware of the necessity of such a tool and have a budget for that but you will potentially be in competition with internal systems. Small / mid could find this interesting but will it be on their top priority? What is the your pricing model?

Yep, and I've also heard performance set-ups which sucked. I've heard Araabmuzik mess up pretty badly live (he's normally phenomenal). For me, it's interesting in that it humanizes him a bit; "hey, I get to fly around the world tapping on my MPC to make crowds go wild, but I'm not perfect".

Controllerism is a whole other thing, and if you're curious, go read about it / listen to it / go to some meet-ups / shows. It's big in the Bay Area and many other places. The monome community in particular is really awesome (I'm sure many are but that's the one I have some limited personal experience with). The best part of different music scenes IMO is the variety and the people. You get a bunch of random weirdos together and play with putting your own spins on a genre, twisting it and pulling it into your own direction while making nods to those who came before you. You use the right samples, sometimes with your own personal touches, as tiny musical shout-outs to the other people in the scene; the musical family you've chosen. The audience is in on the fun and the jokes too. It's the sort of thing which tickles the brain in a manner unmatched by other worldly pursuits.
Cuba also sent lots of soldiers to foment revolutions and enforce dictatorships in African countries. It's pretty rich to thank him for sending doctors when he's also sending the people creating more injuries.

> He had his fights and ills, but not with us.

Yeah, generally with his own citizens who he stomped on for decades. But hey, at least you got a couple free doctors out of it so screw those guys.

And their economy wasn't half bad back then (from a communist standard). In Canada we always had a softer tone with Cuba. A lot of the US PoV seems propaganda driven. Sure, there is a vocal expat group that had very good reasons to leave and were definitely harassed/prosecuted/persecuted for their views/lifestyle. The same kind of minorities exists in the US (watch Trump speeches from the last year). On the other side, until the USSR collapsed, it went from the bottom of the list to near top on education, health access and [a few] other areas. Of course it stayed as corrupted as it was for the last 150 years, but don't blame the Castro regime for that, most Latin America and Caribbean nations are as bad in that regard, if not worst. As for the "capitalism is good, communism is evil" propaganda fueled argument, there isn't much to say. I prefer Capitalism. I acknowledge single party is more prone to corruption and nepotism while democracies es is at risk of populism waves, electoral counter intuitive promises and both are just as vulnerable to corporate/power influences. You have to wonder if for lesser economies, you are better off enslaved by landlords like during Batista days or kept poor, but with a proper social net, in the Castro state.
After the fall of the wall, the intelligence officers and highest party officials took control of the economy, the judicial and law enforcement systems and also the media. They people who ruled did not change. Just their methods.
I'm not really following, I agree that it's a very peaceful time, that's not at issue is it? It's also less individually corrupt now than in the past I'd say.

The argument in the essay is that the idea that leadership and the masses are stupid and corrupt compared to intelligent individuals (not the average person, but a cliche heroic individual) is propaganda, which wasn't present in the past.

I think that's ridiculous and it's much more likely that the idea of there ever being benevolent and intelligent rulers (compared to this intelligent and ethical individual) was the propaganda, which is working less effectively now.

Hence the King/Serf jab, obviously we now know more than those in the past did, and reject the propaganda that the King rules by divine right and is superior to the rest. This is similar to what I'm saying is happening now.
Well, it wasn't meant to be funny, just to emphasize the point: we're talking so much about combating global warming yet the current forecast is for 90% fossil fuel powered cars in 2040(!).

> For instance, the contestants on the “Biggest Loser” TV show became paragons of self-control; some shed more than 100 pounds, something very few of us could ever achieve. And yet a recent study showed that even these incredibly disciplined dieters gained all the weight back.

This study has now become quite famous but it should be noted that the participants where given no help after the show and not surprisingly went back to their old habits.

> “Unfortunately, many contestants are unable to find or afford adequate ongoing support with exercise doctors, psychologists, sleep specialists, and trainers — and that’s something we all need to work hard to change,” -- from http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/05/02/health/biggest-loser-we...

One participant did manage to keep most of the weight off but only through persistence.

I feel for those with real genetic disorders but for most of us we can lose weight and keep it off. New York Times articles which tell us that it's not our fault, that it's genetics, leptin, metabolism, aging, etc. are exceedingly popular but for most of the population these are just excuses.

Here us how you do it. Drop your daily calories to a very low but still safe level (1500 or less) by counting and writing down the calories of everything you eat. Do this for at least two months. Then start an exercise cycle where you do an hour of highly strenuous cardio at least five days a week. Continue for at least two months. Then go back to dieting. Repeat until you hit your goal weight. Then you can relax until your weight creeps up 10-15 lbs at which point you start the cycle again. This is what it takes for an average person in our modern society to stay healthy.

If this seems extreme consider that for thousands of years most of our ancestors endured much more physical exertion on a regular basis and on less calories. We live in a world of excess which is in itself a sufficient explanation for our obesity problem. Excluding of course those few people who actually suffer from weight related diseases.
And of course the Communist economic system -- the one that has led to immiseration and collapse everywhere it has been tried, all over the world -- has nothing to do with this. Must be the embargo!
The predecessor TIS100 is in the current Humble Bundle. Most of the stuff from the post applies, save maybe the story aspect.
The idea of using a fake result to break a paradigm has been used in a number of science fiction stories. I believe that the earliest is "Noise Level" (1952) by Raymond F. Jones, though the idea originated with John W. Campbell [0]. I first came across this concept in Robert Silverberg's "Double Dare" (1956) [1].

Couldn't be more happy that this monstrous mass murderer and dictator is dead.

It's funny to see how leftist liberals are crying over this lunatic from New York hipster cafe's with their Macbooks and complaining about evil capitalism while all the Cubans who are living in the States and have actually experienced the life in Cuba are celebrating on the streets.
Stating that "lesser economies" should literally be kept as prison states by strongmen. And they say Americans are heartless; we clearly have nothing on Canadians, if you're anything to go by.
Can you cite any proof of this?
> As for Assad, it's hard to see how a person responsible for the deaths of over 300K of his own people could ever really hold on to power with or without foreign support. The US has experience in supporting an unpopular foreign leader (south Vietnam) and it didn't go that well.

As I say this with a gut-wrenching knot in my stomach, I prefer him vs the alternative due to recent history. As it is right on the doorstep of Russia and Iran, let them deal with the consequences if they want him in office that badly.
> Except, any company making a deal with Cuba is automatically banned from dealing with the US.

Can you be more precise by what you mean when you say "making a deal"? Does flying to Cuba constitute "making a deal"? Air Canada has flown there for years and still flies to the US.
I really liked Battleborn (moba/fps hybrid) when I got it maybe a few months after the release. Too bad it flopped so awfully and seems to be failing at gaining new traction despite aggressive discounts. I still play it occasionally but since there are a lot of experienced and dedicated players on the servers and I'm not exactly a veteran in the game I feel I'm a burden for my team most of the time. The game would really benefit from new blood to guarantee better matchmaking also on the lower levels.
It's only a fallacy if it is being employed to absolve Castro of every crime. I think the point of the comparison was to remind pots not to call kettles black.
Now you're being rude.

You asked if I would, not if I will.

If I had the chance to do so I would, but I'm currently committed to do other things first.

Or do you believe that if someone wanted to go to Cuba that must be their sole and only motivation from that point on? You should't simplify people like that. It's rude.
There are no good guys. There are just interest. The US protects its interests. Embargo on oil exports to the US? Fuck up your whole region so bad that this can't happen again. Divide and concur. Communism on its shore? Well, nobody goes on this forsaken place or else...

That's how you keep power and that's why you have such a high standard of living. You think it's because you work hard but it's not. At least not primarily.
Not just assassination attempts, but also attempts to undermine his power in general. There was a plan to plant thallium salts in his shoes, which would get absorbed by skin and cause his facial hair to fall out. The hope was that this would lead people to believe that he was sick, and his authority would be weakened.
Ok let's take GDP numbers at face value and let's assume this says much about daily life.

Basically, you're stating that 50+ years of Marxist order imposed by the Castro regime has managed to keep up with countries plagued by 50+ years of general chaos in the form of pathologically corrupt regimes, nepotism, inflation, rampant violent crime, civil war, guerilla movements and narcoterrorism.

Hmmm... I will contemplate the US embargo argument tonight, as I light up one of my precious Cuban cigars to honor the old commie bastard and to celebrate this great achievement of dialectical materialism. Hasta la victoria siempre!
Ok. That's a great summary and good point about non-trivial userspace bits. I hadn't considered how complex "booting" as a process has become...
More like how it saved South Korea. Saving usually hasn't worked, but that's one clear counterexample.

"liberal mainstream" colluded with GOP during 2003 because of the shadow of 9/11. If you remember history correctly, Dubya had high approval rating for couple years after 9/11 and they found it inconvenient or expedient to play along.

NYT has its share of "fake" stories, where they either willfully misguided or parroted the White house talking points because of pressures of the day.

At the end of the day, NYT is a propaganda machine most of the time leaning left, except when it is uncomfortable.

My point was broadly that labeling Reason as fake news demonstrates this whole news stories about fake news is in itself fake outrage.

On your suggestion of spreading lies, I sure do introspect, and in this case, I find you acting childish and narrative driven rather than facts.
> So instead of fighting a lost battle with trying to keep absolute privacy why not just make most of that data public and available and focus on protecting the really sensitive stuff.

Because you can't. You cannot build something that protects the really sensitive stuff out of stuff that's leaking data left and right, making it harder and harder to protect the really sensitive stuff.

That's really cool. I wrote a parser (and implementation for much of the semantics) for just sh; bash is much much bigger.

Just figuring out how to do things like alias expansion (which actually requires relexing as the grammar is defined in the POSIX spec) and here documents in a formal grammar is such a pain that one quickly reaches for recursive decent parsing. I used what was ostensibly a PEG tool (esrap), but ended up using an undocumented escape hatch that let you call arbitrary functions for parsing subexpressions.
> Eventually, our government could put cameras everywhere in our home

I actually don't think that the government will have to do this, because as consumers we do it already for them:

Have a notebook in your house? Nice, your camera may already be watching you and the mic listening to you.

Have a mobile phone? Nice, you are now under surveillance 24 hours a day. The 2 cameras can see, the mic (and now apparently even the speaker) can listen, your location is 100% tracked, the gyro can let hackers know via your current vibration profile if you're in a bus, train or car, etc.

All this could be partially prevented by hardware switches for each sensor. Are we consumers out on the street fighting against this and/or voting with our $$$ to prevent the loss of privacy?
Please keep in mind I was responding only to the original comment, which I quoted in its full glory. It had nothing to do with what you assert above, just a mistaken assertion that US is keeping (now was implicit in what you said) nukes in the Baltic States.

Given Russias interest in toying and more with its neighbors, misinformation like this goes a long way of "normalizing" those conflicts. It prepares whomever is reading your comment to say, "huh, the both sides here are shades of gray" and just accept that conflict as normal.

So yeah. There are no US nukes in Estonia. If there are, please back up your sources.
If Cuba had a capitalist economy the result would be the same. Or do you believe that capitalism has the ability to generate essential goods out of thin air?
