Yes! Lets silence the opinions of everyone we disagree with! Lets take away their places to talk so they have to skulk in the shadows! Lets pretend there's no merit to listening to the thoughts of millions of people!

Why stop with removing their access to Reddit? Why not make it downright illegal to talk about it? Why don't we make it illegal to think about it, too?

I'm exceptionally left-leaning and I don't agree with removing these people from Reddit, it's censorship of views we don't like, plain and simple. Are we really so childish that we believe that if we stop these people talking about it then the problem will go away? They'll just move elsewhere and common discourse will be more difficult, people will be more entombed in their own biased beliefs.
Primary. Can confirm. Not even in the same ballpark.

If you've ever been in love and been with with that person and it feels like a moment could stretch on to eternity and everything is perfect... thats what opiates feel like.

With MDMA everything seems unique, there is a pronounced clarity of mind including insight, and vision. Tactile senses are heightened - it is a full, wholistic high. Perspective often shifts from minutae to space/time. Heightened senses (tactility) and feelings of empathy, understanding, oneness are universal. You may want to dance, sit down, look at the carpet, hug a friend.

The difference may seem subtle to a drug-naïve individual but they are two totally different head spaces
Wait for supply chain rumors (if they even happen given its low volume and US-based manufacturing) to find out if there's going to be a new Mac Pro. You're not going to get any official information about Apple's roadmap from them.

Anyone actually in the market for a Mac Pro is probably aware that the Skylake based Xeons won't be out until some time around WWDC.
Having learned Japanese as a native French speaker, I can guarantee you that it's true.

When French people learn English, they often fall into the trap of pronouncing it in a French way: the way they read it instead of how they hear it. There are many elements in the accent of French speakers in English that come from this.

If you use romanisation of a language like Japanese, you expose yourself to the same problem instead of learning directly with the original script. In addition, the most common romanisation of Japanese is designed to be readable by European language speakers (Hepburn) rather than just using the roman alphabet in a logical, direct application of the native script (Kunrei).
So in that case, what's important about your 1MLOC requirement? I can't even begin to imagine that much Haskell code versus a similar line count in say C.

First time I've ever seen this abbreviation. I only clicked because I wanted to find out what it meant. I probably wouldn't have clicked if I had known it meant "Commercially-Supported".
And reddit has on multiple occasions refused people the right to "totally free expression". Freedom of speech is about the government not shutting you down for airing your views, not a company.
There is a cap on what the government will directly loan, which is fairly low for undergrad, but higher for grad school.

http://studentaid.psu.edu/types-of-aid/loans/federal-direct/...

Gives you about 31k as an undergrad, and 138k as a grad student.

So combined you could be 160k in debt, which adds up especially if you don't do payments for a few years.

Then there is a whole other product of "private loans" where a bank gives you a loan, but the government agrees to back against loss to some degree (unsure of exact rules). Seems like this limit varies by lender, but is in the 70-120k range

https://www.edvisors.com/college-loans/terms/loan-limits/

So all said, you can end up with a LOT of debt.

Then let them. Don't let them complain about what they're going through incessantly.

Sure, everybody complains about their job/relationships once in a while, but when that's all you talk/complain about and you get a martyr complex (I have to do this because nobody else will) that's when you remind them that this too is a choice they made.
Not the office bathroom, the home one. Mostly because I'm hot on the chase to get something to work and don't want mother nature to interfere, haha.

Just read the comments of the OP in the linked meme thread. I don't want to repeat it here, but there is one that is as racist as they get (https://www.reddit.com/r/altright/comments/5d8qm6/time_to_st...).

I would also consider the image racist in any case, it's just not the most racist thing in that thread.

Usually when people make this comparison, it's a huge stretch and being done more for grandstanding than an attempt at genuine discussion.

But when we're discussing a community that has an iron cross as it's logo and requires members read "The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem" prior to posting... At some point the comparison becomes valid.
> Just because you disagree with their opinion does not mean you should want to kick them out

I don't see why the admins don't just edit the posts? No need to ban things.
The idea of fractal dimension being significant at galactic scale is intriguing and based on my totally naive reading of the article might resemble this insofar as the guy is arguing that gravity is an emergent property from quantum interactions that dramatically fall off when matter starts interfering with them at a certain point.
Working as intended. Will not fix. Errors lead to keeping the for-profit prison cells more fully occupied. Even if merely temporary occupants. It doesn't matter as long as cell vacancy remains low. Revenue depends on having prison cells occupied. This leads to higher profits, executive bonuses and shareholder value.
Good point. We've been through periods before where most of the jobs in a sector were replaced by automation, and overall we've been able to adapt and prosper.

It's not just robots. It's been 6+ months since I've used a human cashier at McDonald's. As a consumer, I love it. The automated kiosks make so many options much more discoverable. Want a Junior Chicken with pickles and onions added, and chipotle or thai sauce instead of mayo? No problem, it just takes a few taps on the screen. When ordering from a cashier, I'd never have known those options were available. Of course, now there are far fewer cashiers.

It's certainly possible (and probably likely) that freeing up people to do more important work is a net benefit in the long term. In the interim, there will be plenty of people upset that there currently aren't enough jobs for everyone who wants to work.

I also wonder whether increasingly powerful technology makes it possible that we'll see a sort of "black swan" step change that is so out of line from what we've seen in the past that we can't really conceive of how it would happen or how it will impact society. Maybe it's useless to wonder about that, though. If I can't conceive of how such a change would happen, there's not much I can do to prevent it or prepare for it.

This is particularly true for increased outdoor night-lighting, which is harmful to wildlife: migrating birds, light-drawn insects and the bats that feed upon them, insects that require darkness to signal mates (fireflies), nocturnal prey-hunting animals, aquatic animals whose cycles are set to the lunar cycle -- as well as sleeping humans.

This General was features in an episode of Untold History of the United States. Don't let the fact that Oliver Stone produced this deter you from watching it. I found it a very good, albeit quick, overview of history of the last 100 years. 12 episodes, on Netflix. Weirdly, the last two episodes are really the first two, so start there, the wrap back around to episode 1.
To be honest, the only way to truly know if one is taking pure MDMA is to run a fairly expensive test (along the lines of GCMS, NMR, or many of the other qualitative analysis).

Reagent tests ala what Dancesafe sells are great harm reduction, if the pill fails the test, the pill certainly has 0% MDMA. However, they will not be able to identify that you are taking pure MDMA. I imagine any MDMA+other substance mixture will flag positive. In addition there are probably a few non-MDMA substances that will false-positive that reagent test.

There's an organization out there (https://www.ecstasydata.org/) that does GCMS analysis of pills, the data on what they find (in terms of ratio of substances) is public. So if you want a bit of a sampling of what type of things get sold as "molly" / "ecstasy" you can look there.

Indeed. I went to talk recently where they were saying that some offices now just use network connections for the whole system (including power) as it means they can centralise the driver system in the basement which simplifies everything.
I'm not so certain that's exactly how it'd go. OEMs faced with being forced to provide updates at an unknown pace might just decide to try to roll their own version of Play Services and the underlying data that those hook into, which given the quality of their normal bundleware isn't too promising.
It's probably due to licensing. These are all Netflix originals where as movies or partnerships would probably charge a fee for offline content. I'd imagine offline would be considered "rentals" so it would be treated similarly to Amazon Video or iTunes.
Ironic that you've made this comment on HackerNews, a site, it can be argued, whose appeal comes from its pretty substantial moderation. I can't tell you how many links I've seen flagged and banished from HN that I thought were important, but... once I cooled down my outrage, I realized the conversations occurring on them were pretty toxic. I come to HN because of the focus and constructive dialogue. I stay away from Reddit (and long ago abandoned /.) because of the toxicity.

Yes. The alt-right and the_donald reddit community members can move to a less-popular platform, but that doesn't necessarily mean that platform has just become more popular. It means the loudest, most-obnoxious people have just lost their Reddit audience. When 1% of commenters are making 90% of the posts, that's no longer a dialogue and that drives away readers. Encouraging polite dialogue and policing abusive behaviors are smart business moves for Reddit and Twitter.
There is a niche. It's not a big niche, but it's a niche.

And if the MacPro had been an updated cheesegrater instead of an ashtray, it would still be selling into its niche.

There's a solid market for ancient but refurbed/updated cheesegrater Pros, and an even bigger market for screamer dual-Xeon monster PCs.

Considering how few media power users like Windows, Apple should own the latter. It's a shame Apple has turned its back on those users.

But I suppose the conclusion is right. Mac is now a dying brand, and Cook wants to kill it off within the next five years or so - very likely taking the soul of Apple with it.

A Theory of Language and Mind (a free e-book)
You know? The only people I see spouting antisemitic comments turn out to be from the alt-right, or more correctly, fascist movement.

If your movement is based upon, and shares many, many ideals with (Or contains people with) both fascist philosophies, and movements such as the neo-nazis, the KKK, etc. then it is correct to put you under that banner, no?

The problem is, these philosophies are adopted because they are both poisonous and insidious. They cope very well with rational debate because the techniques employed manage to make whoever is attempting to use rational logic look like a fool.
Not to mention, that these people tend to use throwaway accounts -- you can kick one for spamming someone with racism, but they will just move on to a new account and start again. This, coupled with the fact that these people feed on arguments, makes it difficult to moderate such a community.

You cannot argue with toxic people, you cannot negotiate with them, because they will play you as the fool. You can really only use the banhammer and hope they don't try and call their friends into the game.
Haven't studied the SvelteJS documentation but as far as I can reason there is nothing in their idea that prevents them from shielding the DOM behind a lightweight, virtual DOM, ReactJS style. In fact, I'd be slightly disappointed if they don't shield the DOM somehow. It's the #1 bottleneck, after all.

> I've been working on an app and spent a lot of time looking into frameworks to handle its complexity but ended up sticking to vanilla JS to keep more control.

I don't know, it could work. React almost does the same thing actually, except it batches updates occuring in a single event handler, but otherwise, there is nothing optimized about it, except the reconciliation. A limited string template makes reconciliation a non problem.
It seems like most of weight of the code is VanillaJS's somewhat verbose methods like document.createTextNode or "e.parentNode.removeChild".

I suppose that's why it's so critical that the app zips down while it's going across the wire.

I can't help but wonder if shipping a rudimentary bootstrap framework that wraps those methods would be helpful.
Funnily enough, I'm always wary of downloading PDFs from security experts :-) (so I didn't download this one).

Check the generated code in the REPL, it's straight DOM manipulations.
I chose surgeons deliberately:

"Hospital employment: Hospital employment can be a good option for orthopedic and spine surgeons who want steady hours, guaranteed income and relief from the administrative duties associated with running a private practice. Hospital employment also guarantees an immediate patient base, which can be difficult to build from the ground up in a private practice.

"One of the interesting thing hospitals have been doing for employed physicians is paying a wage to a new graduate that are substantially higher than what they would make in private practice for the first year or two," says Dr. Ott. "So they capture many of the new graduates. While they may be spending more on the professional services side, they recoup hospital charges when these surgeons bring patients to the facility for surgery or diagnostic testing."

For general orthopedic surgeons, the starting salary is $500,000 with a sign-on bonus at $35,000, according to the "2011 Orthopedic Recruiting Trends & Starting Salary Overview from Orthopedic Recruiting Group. Hip and joint on average receive $597,000 salary and $50,000 sign-on buns, while spine surgeons receive $452,000 salary and $40,000 sign-on bonus."

I tend to write conversationally, closely to how I speak. I wouldn't write the same way if this were a white paper, research or other types of instruction. In more casual conversation I will pause to think... Then continue speaking, I do the same when writing online in casual settings.

There's also the aspect of typos, or grammatical error that I'm inclined to let slide in one setting and not others. In this setting, I'm less inclined to use leet-speak shortcuts though.
This can definitely depend on the technology and the use case. For instance, I'm building a .NET desktop application and started using WinForms since I have several years experience with it. I scrapped that and started using XAML for the first time and I am already more productive in XAML than I am with Winforms. I have a cleaner UI and an easier time with the architecture due to the data binding.

My point is that there are technologies that if you are using a technology that is a pain in the ass (Winforms) but that is all you know moving to a newer technology that has been designed to be easier to use can not only benefit what you are building but even save you time in the long run.
Ha ha, good one. Wasn't Reddit CEO's ass on fire recently for doing exactly that?

Technically you are 100% correct. They are definitely within their rights, as are twitter and facebook. The problem is that we've got a de facto (as opposed to de jure) "censorship" system going on where people with undesired opinions are being forced (whether they wanted it or not) into echo chambers.

"Censorship" just forces people underground to talk amongst other people with the same opinions. While it has some kind of measurable effect on preventing impressionable people from being exposed to their opinions, it also prevents people from discussing alternative views with the ones who were "censored". This is a large part of the reason why everyone was blindsided by Trump, the trump supporters were largely either not speaking up due to social penalties for doing so or only talking on-line in forums where other people agreed with them.

If the goal is to "defeat" the alt-right movement, then I don't think it is necessarily obvious that banning them is the right move. As I said though, maybe it is since it does limit exposure to their views which in theory limits their membership.

Note: Scare quoted censorship due to it not being government run which is what people usually mean when they say censorship.
It's always pleasant to find names for things. I haven't seen that term Cornell Notes before, but it's close to my method. I tend to use the full width of a page within a lab notebook, but use annotations in the left margin to mark them as Question, Person (recording contact info), Todo, etc. Everything else is general notes.

I use Bullet Journal methods for todo lists interspersed with that.
I saw Netflix's chief product officer Neil Hunt say a while ago Netflix would "never" offer downloads, but I have to say I'm really pleased with this. Getting the train through spotty service areas effectively rendered Netflix unusable, but now! :)

You have been downvoted (at least by me) because your argument is poorly constructed and poorly written, not because you disagree. In my experience this is usually the case on HN.

Conspiracy theories and suspecting the rest of the community is 'out to get you' or interested in 'silencing' you is sure incendiary but the truth is usually far more boring. Present a careful reasoned argument and people will appreciate it, even if they disagree. Saying "rarely drugs have bad side effects!!!" (without introducing context and comparing the safety of these drugs to OTC medication and currently legal drugs) is true but it isn't a real argument or piece of information, it's just FUD.

The US has one of the best (albeit expensive) college education in the world. The primary/middle/high-school system is seriously under-performing, though.

Couldn't those be improved instead? It would benefit everyone, not just the upper-middle classes that can afford college.
I hear your point, but neither Princeton nor Yale require students to get loans. Along with a number of other super-prestigious schools, they offer all students full grant coverage of all the cost they can't afford.

"By committing to an admissions policy that does not consider a student’s ability to pay, and by meeting the full financial need of all admitted students (with no loans required), we ensure that Yale is accessible to the most talented students from around the world, regardless of their family’s income" http://admissions.yale.edu/financial-aid-prospective-student...
You've fallen into several traps there. The major one is that you, like those that wage the war, always leap to the hardest and worst examples and paint broad strokes about all drugs from a few stories of the depths of addiction, usually to opiates or methamphetamine.

The second is that you look at lives destroyed by 'drugs' without looking at the lives destroyed by the war, which pushes profits to cartels, destabilises entire countries and actually harms the people it claims to help.

Ending the war on drugs doesn't mean having a free for all, it means using evidence to weigh up the best course of action. With some substances that's likely legalisation and sale to adults under license. With others it may be medical supervision.

Banning anything psychoactive is not an evidence-based action towards harm reduction.
