Not essentially; the modern mixed economy is a fairly broad umbrella, and it's at least arguable that reforms within it that would still be within that broad umbrella could roll back some of the growth in inequality (and particularly the growth in inequality of opportunity produced by growing inequality of outcomes.)

OTOH, I think it's a mistake to see the particular shape of the modern mixed economy (even recognizing it as a broad umbrella) as the ultimate stage in economic progress, just as it would be to see capitalism or feudalism as the ultimate stage.
Bringing your laptop to meetings, or being able to remote in from home (taking it with you) are pretty huge benefits to usability. Though I do prefer a real (manual switch) keyboard, the touchpad on the mbp is awesome, and would actually be okay with that over a mouse.

Beyond that, the 16gb ram limitation is sometimes an irritation... All upgradability is locked out, which is sad. Prior to around 2011, I would always buy at the midrange and upgrade ram/hd a year in. I miss that option, but they want that extra $$$ from you.

The Size and Shape of “Idea Space” (2011) [pdf]
Also from the South. When we hosted foreign exchange students growing up, the hardest thing for them to hear was "can" versus "can't". Since the "t" is silent, it really is just a subtle nuance in the way the "n" is pronounced, with drastically different results if misheard or misunderstood.
My first guess was closed source :/
Another great enhancement is a lot of ethernet speaking hardware ships with a sticker or something containing the MAC address but not the pi.

If the PI shipped with a little sticker containing the MAC address that would be quite trivial to change the username and password to the mac address as seen by /sbin/ifconfig which optimistically matches the physical sticker.

Of course there aren't many possible MAC addresses however, there are more than just one.

Another entertaining idea is if you're on a private network that can't access 8.8.8.8 or whatever then assume its safe to enable ssh by default.

Or if some sort of "what is my ip address" service returns a public ip addrs that matches /sbin/ifconfig then here be dragons and disable ssh by default.

Another fun idea is when you boot the first time sshd is enabled for.... a little while, and then blocked after some time or a power cycle. Some crontabs support a syntax like @reboot sleep 300 && block_ssh.sh where block_ssh engages a iptables rule that eats incoming ssh port packets. Or whatever time period feels right. So if you're on a public network and worried, simply boot and don't plug in for 6 minutes or whatever, and you're good. Or if you want ssh then you boot, and fast as possible log in via ssh and enable it. For the extra paranoid note its not hard with a script to ensure you get 5 minutes of working ssh only once per burning of the flash image, assuming your flash isn't in write protect mode LOL.

OH edited to add my favorite new idea, if you boot and GPIO port #something is pulled to ground, then enable SSH going forward. Sure would be nice if that GPIO pin were adjacent to gnd pin. Maybe you could code in something that flashes onboard LEDs to provide feedback.

Introducing Self-Service Pricing and Contact Info Beta – Mattermark
Never in my times of working for content provider / transport was that even remotely the reason for DRM.

It was always passing the legal buck ("It wasn't us that let those evil evil pirates steal your series, we did all we could, look at that DRM software certificate!").

Snooping packets in dorm rooms? No.
I think we might see more cores (and other innovations) becoming useful for offline AI/ML purposes, as well as virtual reality applications. Both right now are mostly dependent on GPU cores (the more the merrier), but can be bottlenecked by the CPU usage (depending on the task, of course - games tend to want more of everything). Though both of those might stay niche areas, since most people are moving to mobile devices and any need for more compute power can come from "cloud resources".
Looks very similar to Google Big Query.

Even the pricing is same: $5 / TB of data scanned.
Have you installed any of the apps listed in the "Appendix A"?
It's not. In fact, Google has the right to publish your private emails if it's for promotional purposes. The worldwide unrevokable license they grant themselves to everything you store on their service has no requirement that they don't publicize private information. Check their Terms of Service.
If we become a protectionist economy more things like this will happen and the smaller economy countries will be the ones that get hit the hardest and not US or China.
K9Mail with Fastmail, AddressToGPS + OSMAnd, I back up my own photos with a home server and some rsync (Syncopoli). There is PhotoBackup which is kind of neat though.

We use Google Calendar for stuff at work, Google still has an old psuedo-deprecated-not-talked-about CalDav endpoint I hit with DavDroid that gives me all of that. These problems were solved with protocols long before gardens. I use offlineCalendar(Yes you need an app for that in Android) to create a calendar for myself locally, though I have a radiCAL server for things I need sync'd. Could have used Fastmail I guess.
> How about letting consenting adults free of doing what they want to their own body and legalizing all drugs?

If drugs were legal, and someone suggested making them illegal, I would be against that.

However, a world where drugs have been illegal for decades in most countries is a very different world, and the consequences of legal drugs will be very different.

For example, I think it's pretty clear that legalizing drugs in one US state will result in a number of undesirable things happening in that state, such as drug tourism, increased crime, increased accidental deaths, increased public health spending, taxation of drug sales, government intervention to ensure product safety, etc. Sure, some states have legalized marijuana, but that's a fairly benign drug. Legalizing something like crack or heroin will almost certainly lead to an increase in accidental deaths, which will cost the state money to deal with.

A simple example: the most tolerant places tend to attract the kind of people who are most difficult to tolerate. Look at the homeless situation in San Francisco, and imagine what the crackhead situation would be like there if drugs were legalized. Crackheads would swarm in from all over the country.

So, to prevent the impact of drug legalization from falling disproportionately on certain states, drugs would need to be legalized everywhere at the same time. But even then, the same dynamic may play out between countries (probably less so, because moving between countries is harder than moving between states, but still...)

Furthermore, the libertarian vision of drug legalization will not be the one that happens, if drugs are indeed legalized. We live in a world where governments have public health obligations. We aren't just going to let people die of overdoses in large numbers -- at some point, people will believe that something must be done, and tax dollars will be spent on needle exchanges, rehab, and public health interventions on a large scale. It's not as simple as saying that people can put whatever they want in their bodies and deal with the consequences on their own -- we don't live in the kind of political world where that will be possible. We don't allow that for seat belts or motorcycle helmets, and there is no reason to believe we would allow it for drugs.

You might respond that the kind of public health spending necessary would be lower than the spending that is currently needed to fund the war on drugs, but political debate doesn't take place in a vacuum of pure rationality. Voters have shown time and time again that they would rather spend money to punish than to heal. Until a widespread societal change in moral views takes place, it will be far more difficult to get money for drug treatment than for the war on drugs. So, when faced with the potential costs of drug legalization, most voters will reject it and opt for the status quo, but maybe with more legal weed.
This is well stated.

I have been making end-user apps for myself and for folks at work that require such identity, in one case, ~/.ssh, and in another, ~/.gnupg.

My solution isn't particularly novel or clever, but it works well.

The docker image of the command-line app is the same for all users, and so lacks their identity built in.

The hack is to drive invocation of the docker image with a shell script that makes a temporary directory, copies in the necessary identity files from ~, and does a docker run that maps those identify files into the docker image.

After the docker image exits, the bash invocation script cleans up.

It's a hack, but it works surprisingly well. In my tests, it adds about 100ms of invocation latency for a python program. That is, running the docker image containing a python program that copies some files in as described is about 100ms slower than just running the same python program directly.

It would be nice to have a more elegant solution to this, but it's not too bad.
You're right. Although I am much more likely to trust someone who has had significant experience with both (especially if they have also managed to become a doctor or something similar).

I don't have much information, but based on the article, I believe this doctor is biased by the fact that he has focused only on the very rare cases of individuals which develop an obsession with the drug and continue to use it even after it's primarily sought-after effects have stopped working. If you use MDMA every day for a prolonged time, then you are definitely going to get brain damage.

The reason this generally isn't a problem with MDMA is that, long before this happens, you will use up all your serotonin (temporary) and the drug essentially stops working, even with increased dosage. This usually means that people stop taking it before any major damage is done. Contrast this with opiates, where you can keep upping the dose and keep the high going indefinitely over a prolong time (until you overdose).

I dismiss the doctors statements not just because he hasn't done these drugs himself, all I need to do is look at the number of heroin addicts in rehab vs the number of chronic MDMA users.
Yep, if his site is built in PHP going from 5.4 to 7.0 would explain the decrease all by itself.
Thanks-- that's something I hadn't thought of. It appears most of the users don't use free providers so that may be an option.
The alternative 33C3 venue (join it if you didn't get a ticket)
IMHO the only way India will stop building coal plants is when it's going to be better investment to not build one and build solar farm instead, for example.

Actually completing the project so much cheaper than Topaz (for whatever reasons) gives hope and it's great news.

I wonder how far are we from situation where investing into solar farm project is genuinely a very good deal? Are we there yet?
Correct.

At a not so distant future point, Docker will be delivered as a snap package. Users installing docker via `apt-get` will ultimately be installing the snap.

We are working through the final technical details of this portion now. We'll make sure to keep everyone updated as this transition happens, but current best practices should continue to Just Work.
If you can flash an sd card you can turn on SSH with the new method. All my Pi's are headless, and this is a mild inconvenience at best. Way less inconvenient than the internet falling apart because users don't know anything about security.

How much was a strip 5000 LEDs?
I chose a Braun clock, since the LCD backlight can be switched off, leaving it nice and dim, and the projection onto the ceiling is can be set to a dim red.

I'm not sure it's a feature, since the apartment is rented and I'll probably need to pay for the repair, but I dropped it on the floor, and it has left a fairly obvious dent.

Amazon’s Stranglehold [pdf]
Just to be clear: This service is offered by Amazon/AWS themselves, it isn't a third party. That's a question I had when I first clicked, which is why I am answering it here.

One big "gotcha" for AWS newbies which I cannot tell if this addresses: Does this set or allow the user to set a cost ceiling?

AWS have offered billing alerts since forever. They'll also occasionally refund unexpected expenses (one time thing). But they've never offered a hard "suspend my account" ceiling that a lot of people with limited budgets have asked for.

They claim this is a competitor for Digital Ocean, but with DO what they say they charge is what they actually charge. I'm already seeing looking through the FAQ various ways for this to exceed the supposed monthly charges listed on the homepage (and no way to stop that).

Why even offer a service like this if you cannot GUARANTEE that the $5 they say they charge is all you'll ever get charged? How is this different from AWS if a $5 VPS can cost $50, or $500?

That's what Amazon is missing. People want ironclad guarantees about how much this can cost under any and all circumstances. I'd welcome an account suspend instead of bill shock.

I don't see the article's point as a good one.

Unless they are literally calling for people to take action and kill/harass/otherwise harm people I see no reason to "censor" them. From what I've seen, most of that subreddit is hating on other races(which definitely is hate speech) but not calling any real action. I also don't consider calling for legitimate political action to be worthy of "censorship" either, only going outside the political system to directly harm.
Mutating isn't hard either, and if it does get hard you can stick things in a Cell or RefCell.

You could say that about almost every internet connected device. I know more than one "tech-savvy" individual who has disabled their firewall "temporarily" to get something working, and then never re-enabled it, or dropped a device in the DMZ, etc.
Care to post your list? After it was filled out with details it'd be a nice resource to share.
That seems highly misleading. I think MDMA is far more physically dangerous than cannabis. Many people have directly died from irresponsible use of MDMA, but no one has (directly) died from any use of cannabis. MDMA can certainly be safe and beneficial if taken responsibility, but:

- Doses should generally be spaced at least 2 (many recommend 3) months apart.

- The minimum effective dose should be taken. Even a light overdose can create an uncomfortable, traumatizing, or even physically dangerous situation.

- Hydration and access to cool environments is important. Overhydration can also be a risk, so it's good to have access to electrolyte-laden drinks (Gatorade etc.). Overhydration, dehydration, and brain overheating are the leading causes of MDMA-related death.

- Supplements should be taken to reduce the inherent neurotoxicity even if you do all of the above things right. Some good examples on http://www.rollsafe.org.

It's true that dependence-wise, cannabis is probably worse, though. It's pretty hard to build a dependence on MDMA, as you'll likely only feel the uncomfortable stimulant effects (and other negative symptoms; this can lead to long-term or permanent neuroreceptor damage and dysfunction) if you take it on a weekly or daily basis.
Hey folks! I'd love to answer any questions folks might have about running the Kickstarter or Font Awesome in general!

This was my fault. I tell companies not to submit for an interview unless they're at least a few months old, otherwise they won't have much to say. Because of that + Dawson's reported $15k/mo figure + the fact that Logojoy's story is inherently interesting, I blindly assumed the business was started earlier in the year than it was.

Go figure that the interview in which this happens is also the one that gets to the top of HN for the longest time. In the future, I'll do more to verify the launch dates so I don't end up with another interview where the average revenue is such an extrapolation.

As for including revenue numbers in titles, I agree it is a bit clickbaity (or at least very enticing). But at the same time the entire point of these interviews is transparency, and highlighting the revenue numbers adds crucial context. I'm happy not to include revenue numbers in titles, though, if HNers or mods don't want to see those.

I don't mean to pick on reMarkable alone. I have the same complaint about Kobo. Does a locked down operating systems really do anything for the bottom line of this company? This is not snark and I'm not judging, I am seriously asking about how hardware companies make these kinds of decisions.
If you read further down in the G+ post it says:

- Removing apps from Play: We’ve removed apps associated with the Ghost Push family from Google Play. We also removed apps that benefited from installs delivered by Ghost Push to reduce the incentive for this type of abuse in the future. Downloading apps from Google Play, rather than from unknown sources [https://goo.gl/9rqdiH], is a good practice and will help reduce the threat of installing one of these malicious apps in the future.

It sounds like the free tier lets people do the same things as the paid tier and only limits quantity, so people are just stacking free accounts to get around paying for it.

Maybe this isn't the best way to segment your market? It depends heavily on your product and how it works, but perhaps there's a way to make it so that the free tier lets people try the product and understand how it works. You could then make it so that some extra functionality is available only to paid users.

An example of this is Webflow[1]. A free accound is fine for mocking up a website, but you can only have one project, and you can't export the HTML and CSS. This works well, because I was able to use a free account to see how the product worked, and when I decided I wanted to export what I had created, I was happy to upgrade to a paid account.

You can also see this at play in the Wordpress plugin market. There are plenty of plugins that have a free version available, and also offer a premium version that includes support and extra features.

The common thread here is that upgrading to the paid version of the product includes more features, not just more quantity. This approach may or may not work for your product. Even if it doesn't right now, perhaps there are features you could add only to the paid tier that would entice people to upgrade?
