It seems to me like "troubleshooting why the internet connection is down" is probably a capability you would want to have, no?

Spirit Airlines is an interesting case, though, because like someone else said, they're very up-front about this. Is it still a dark pattern if the company admits it and essentially warns the user?
99% of crypto would work just fine if you appended an OTR-like protocol over the top of email.

First email is "hey we're interested in blah..." and is sent in the clear. Then have the message window change color as subsequent emails get the protocol more secured.
I've been using Debian's neovim package for the last several months, but I use the unstable repositories.
I think it'll be officially packaged in the next Debian release though.
Mental illness is such a broad category that I'm not invalidating all mental problems. Clearly Schizophrenia is real and serious condition. However, even with that said, I think the view on schizophrenia, and mental illness that the general society has is very toxic, produces conflict, and makes an otherwise benign issue larger than it necessarily is.

Furthermore not all mental conditions are illnesses.
> Depression is the result of how you interpret things.

This kind of thinking is precisely why I stick around to argue about this subject when it pops up.

You have cause and effect reversed, and you're not up-to-date on current medical research. The science has advanced far beyond, "you're depressed because you're thinking bad things."

There is evidence linking it to intestinal bacteria: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2095769-gut-bacteria-sp... and also http://www.nature.com/news/gut-brain-link-grabs-neuroscienti...

And inflammation: http://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1741-7...

And circadian rhythm / sleep: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/new-forensic-techn... and https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fighting-depressi...

I think it's likely that within the next 50 years a treatable, biological, root cause will be found which is somehow related to all of these, and I hope that by then the lay-public will have moved away from the opinion they share with Scientology.

> Your belief in the inevitability of depression is only leading to more depression.

You have misinterpreted the purpose of my comments. I'm not here to tell people with depression how to improve their lives, because I'm not qualified to do that (words which I wish everyone on HN would hear in their head before they write anything about anything). I'm just here to clear up common misconceptions about the causes of depression and what it's like to experience it.
There's also context. I trust the government to represent my bank. I don't necessarily trust it to represent my friends etc.
> The news article you're citing literally makes no mention of the barometric pressure.

Areas of low pressure have a colloquial name. Storms.

I suggest you come back to this thread on a different day and re-read it. Or give it to somebody else with a neutral, uninvested perspective to read. The mention I made of houses controlling pressure was merely a hypothetical as I previously stressed. Everything else I said followed from the understanding that low pressure areas are storms. Storms move air. Air that now contains large quantities of pollen.
Putting aside for a moment the author's experience, our own experience at http://8-food.com/ has been somewhat similar in its difference from conventional startupry but quite distinct in its apparent relationship to conventional manufacturing.

We are producing a series of vending-machine-like service locations which automatically prepare and retail hot meals from fresh ingredients. We have of course the manufacturing process for these machines to keep in mind, but in addition the machines themselves are essentially miniature factories and so all of the theory, literature and best practices of the manufacturing economy proper apply - albeit scaled down in time, space and (usually!) cost - to our machines.

So far it has been very interesting to read the literature of other engineering disciplines and to translate concepts between them and our experience in software. Thus far I believe there are some great processes that software can teach manufacturing, but also vice versa.

According to Craig Federighi, senior VP of software engineering, only losers who want to pad their resumes at the expense of their company care about publishing:

“Our practices tend to reinforce a natural selection bias — those who are interested in working as a team to deliver a great product versus those whose primary motivation is publishing,” says Federighi.

I'm not saying it's a woo-woo problem of the mind. But it is a problem of the mind in that it's literally defined as "a mental disorder characterized by at least two weeks of low mood that is present across most situations.[1] It is often accompanied by low self-esteem, loss of interest in normally enjoyable activities, low energy, and pain without a clear cause."

"mental" disorder --> mind stuff;
Symptoms: "low mood, low self-esteem, loss of interest, low energy, pain". All mind stuff as well.

Yes, it often requires drugs, and yes it usually/often/maybealways has an underlying cause of biological issues. But fixing it still requires fixing your mind. Because that's what's broken - your mind.

The point is that just because something is a mental issue, doesn't mean you can fix it with will power and thought changes alone. But you definitely can't fix it without will power and thought changes.

I like to think of beating depression like beating addiction. You first need to fix the biological stuff, and then you have to mentally keep making sure you don't slip back. Maybe forever. You need willpower to not go back down that road, to avoid situations that trigger depression in you, or hell, just to keep eating right and exercising and to make your mental health a priority because it does help.

As my shrink used to say: the drugs give you the chance, but you do the work to fix your thoughts.

Does that make more sense?
Of course they do. If their X-Point stuff (or something like it) ever ships, they will want to put a couple or three terabytes of NVmemory on the otherside of the frontside bus. If you can do that you can enable some really amazing systems architectures. Things like a web search engine that consumes less than a 100W when it isn't serving a request because it can 'wake from sleep' and answer a query in under 10mS. And it can reboot in just the few seconds needed to change out the RAM parts of memory and pick up the giant data structure with the web index already loaded.
Opinion isn't as clear cut as Wiles makes out. There are definitely opposing viewpoints.

This would be a good place to start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_mathematics
Interestingly, I never thought of math as an art, but reading this quote in the article makes sense:

Well, mathematicians are not that philosophical. (Laughter) We're artists, we just enjoy it and we leave it.

Also not my area of expertise, but I think the idea behind the biomass == carbon neutral is that the carbon in those fuels was already in the atmosphere a few year ago, so you are not really tapping into the fosil fuels stored in the Earth's manttle. You can consider this a form of low-tech solar, since the biomass had to ultimatelly use photosyntesis to accumulate energy.

Also, if done sustainably, you have to keep sustaining life forms that keep doing the photosyntesis trick for you every year. i.e. All those carbon atoms in this year's crop of Christmas Trees were in the atmosphere a couple of years ago, and we are potentially breathing out at least part of the crops from the next few years... But if someone goes and cuts down a big chunk of the Amazonas in order to make "bio-fuels", yeah, that's dishonest, stupid and self defeating.
The UK's Investigatory Powers Act Allows the State to Lie in Court

We have all our code inspected and pen tested under different regulations and certification rules; if you would take that even a bit broader, no software would be written anymore; all programmers would be busy checking code.

And this software is not 'that' critical (financial). I would actually agree that life or dead software should be checked line by line by experts, software and well described processes. I would even insist that critical software that can be formally verified should be formally verified. But for a broader range of software this is not possible and well, I don't think it should be needed for innocent software like, say, games.

What could work for non critical software is having to pay for bugs if software is faulty based on the severity of the bug. I would be very much against the kind of liability that involves again kind of indirect damages, so the maximum of damage is limited to what you paid. Most people do not want that but you would want to have some or all money back in case of neglect (bugs that do not properly get fixed) without forgoing your license. That will kill companies (if turned back the clock with this rule, MS + Oracle notably) but then again, they won't cut corners like what happens now.
From experience, Lyon, Toulouse and Montpellier are all around much better places to live & work in than Paris (especially if you are just relocating from another country).
The easy part is the crypto, that's been done to death and back.

Signal has managed to do the "How can we exchange keys while atleast one of us is always offline?" part. So a good and somewhat PFS key exchange should be possible too.

Integrating that seamlessly with email is gonna be hard and require a service to register emails or domains that support the new protocol. Otherwise you end up with the PGP situation.

One want people's mail to automagically encrypt when both have it. Automagically is the best security there is for Joe Average. On the big list of security problems you face for Jane Average, "Werks Automagically" is Point 1 written in golden ink by the pope himself in 72pt fontsize and "Secure against State Adversaries" is Point 2 written in silver by the pope's cat on the second page in 16pt fontsize.

One might also want to introduce a benefit, like disabling it for spammers by having some kind of verification (Phone Number or something?) and heavily police HTML formatting so that little Green Icon next the email means more than "this one spent 30 seconds to find a large prime pair" and more like "this email is probably safe to open, nobody will track you and nobody is going to sell you fake viagra".

People should want to use it, not have to use it to be secure or something.

But as you said, that all requires work and 99% of my time I personally like being unproductive, so I guess it'll never happen.
Yes I know Pre-Algebra Math shouldn't be known by adults! It is okay not to know what 103% means.
I have to partially disagree with that.

Calling PGP an utter failure is an understatement. Just like calling a cat a small tiger.

PGP is possibly the WORST experience in usability for any well known software that ever lived.

This thing should be taught in courses for decades to come as how to fail a product by 1) having no UI 2) no integrations with anything 3) zero usability 4) not even trying to give a fuck about normal users 5) in fact, not even trying to make it possible to use for advanced users.

You want signed email & identities. It's simple.

Just get the national government to distribute RSA USB keys to every citizen. Then they can use them on public government websites (taxes & jobs stuff) to confirm poeple's identities, just plug in the key. Quick and simple. (And that's not incompatible with ALSO asking for a password that was send in a different paper letter. 2FA-style.).

Then later, citizens can sign the emails they send to everyone with gmail/hotmail because they'll add the feature to recognize the national USB identity key, now that there are X millions people using it.
How much improvement is possible in Rails' ActionCable's performance?
My guess is that the README was mostly copied from here: https://github.com/alizain/ulid

Which has a similar list, but presents them as features/facts, not advantages.

Edit: Perhaps it was noted to specifically call out that it maintains case insensitivity, even though it's choosing a more dense approach than just hex.
Are ashes as good an idea as just the full body? Even if we are turned off by the idea, if full body decomposition is more productive for a forest than ashes, lets do that!

I'd be down for a full tree growing out from my unburnt remains if it was more useful to the forest.
And that is a huge improvement from the old 40 bit limit, and then the 42 bit limit. In fact it is over 1000x better than the 52 bit limit :-)

re-store.ru is not an official apple store. They can sell an iphone 3g, it does not mean Apple itself is selling that model. On apple.ru they have the same 5 models as they do here in US
And you almost need to this because app store reviews are so deadly otherwise. You have no way to respond to reviewers (who've had problems) as you might on TripAdvisor and virtually no one goes out of their way to find an option to send feedback before going nuclear in a review.
This annoys me so much that when an app does this to me I actually go to to the app store to give them 1 star.
I've overcome extreme treatment resistant depression. In my experience, fixing how you think and interpret events is the only permanent solution. If your thinking leads to depression, drugs will only work temporarily.
What about certifications? Some certifying org can (for a fee) routinely audit websites for whether they use dark patterns. Then, people just know to avoid sites that don't have a good certification, and can report shady stuff.

If they push the envelope too hard, you report, they follow up and can potentially pull the cert. Maybe have browser integration too. (But good luck disambiguating between this and SSL certs for the average person...)
If you read the guidelines, politics has always been considered off-topic.
The REPL way of thinking may not be the right level for this kind of a system.

I may be underestimating the complexity of this, but it does seem doable with some clarifications to concepts. For example, in the smalltalk world, every GUI object created is expected to be inspectable and modifiable. If we then require that we want to call a button instantiated in every browser an independent object, that would be a misfit. It might be adequate to treat that button presented in the IDE context as the object that manifests on all connected browsers. So when I look for messages sent by the button, I tap into the logstream for those events that the system received from all browsers connected. But when I manipulate its appearance, it reflects on all connected browsers. I don't literally need to tap into each connected browser client.
I disagree, at least for laptops. Desktops are mostly fine with Linux. Laptops... even certified ones, they suck. While battery life is decent, sleep and hibernate support has random issues, and external monitor support is awful. Try using a 4k external monitor when your internal display is not 4k, or viceversa. When the external monitor gets recognized at all (and its relative position is not forgotten).
Yeah, unsolicited life advice is definitely a problem for depressed people and doctors suggesting medicine can fall into that category sometimes too. I would never criticize a person about the treatment they've found to work for them or prevent them from trying new ones to attempt figure that out.
Haha, sure. All my fault. My username made you do it. And I'm projecting?

I name myself after a fallacy because less cogent posters see them everywhere. Had I used Pol Pot as an example you wouldn't have batted an eye, but mention Hitler and you don't even wait to see what I'm saying before you're screaming Godwin!

Similarly, you don't even know what an Ad Hominem is.

Have a look at what Plaine Images is doing with their Imaginarium, coupled with their incubator & accelerator:

http://www.plaine-images.fr/en/services-2/

It's located in a former textile factory and combines both openspace/co-working spaces, private offices in varying sizes. It also has a strong focus on creative industries (gaming, VR, audio...). Several companies that have started there have an excellent track record and several world-class leaders are in talks with them.

If you mix public subsidies + good space design + integration in the socio-economical fabric + specialization on a vertical, you end up with very high potential and growth. That's exactly what's happening right now at Plaine Images, even though it's not very well known outside of Europe.

Funding is not that much of an issue, tbh. As I stated elsewhere in this thread, I raised little, but had I wanted more, London & Berlin are literally next door and many large european VCs are familiar with the french ecosystem. The business angels I chose have exactly that track record (early 90s-00s, create company in France, raise a few hundreds k€ in France, large rounds in the US, IPO on Nasdaq, get rich and become BA/VCs).

I'm not going to list the usual "french unicorns" such as Blablacar or Criteo, but see Devialet, a hw "startup": they have closed a 100M$ round with a Korean fund two weeks ago so access to capital definitely exist...

By the way, La Cantine unfortunately had a massive fire two weeks ago, so we will have to wait and see if the phenix rise from the literal ashes :'(

Avoiding multiple levels of window management, when you want to edit multiple files and have one or more additional terminals available.

For instance, I've used this to edit a manpage with a live preview to the side in another window. Doing the same thing with screen would require running vim inside screen, and doing window management with both screen (for terminals) and vim (for everything else).
out of curiosity, since you seem to be a veteran to HN – what makes this a "political story"?
That's what happens when researchers are pressured by management to publish, publish, publish... which forces them to pursue quick-payback, incremental-research projects instead of dedicating themselves to difficult questions and taking on long-term projects with uncertain payoffs. With few exceptions (AI, for example), this is the norm in most fields. Ask any PhD student.

> - Prove you're you. Which is great for incriminating you. Also the proof is only good if your secret key is still secret, which probably isn't the case if you've been arrested. At that point, it's good for convincing people it's you when it's really the FBI.

So, best practice: publish your private signing key publically if you ever get arrested?

Google Maps on Android is massively using dark patterns. If you are on the go and open the app, it requests to enable the location service to continue. The choices are: "Enable location service" or "Cancel". It is phrased in a way that it will not run the app if you tap on "Cancel" but it works perfectly if you select "Cancel".

The worse, if you agree, it enables the location service for everything all the time where you have the feeling it was just for the Maps app.

I just discovered that 2 days ago and I must say I was really really angry at Google for this clear dark pattern use.

I tell people thinking about setting up websites for personal or business project that you need to make your list of potential domain names FIRST, then buy immediately if you find any available. ISPs have been selling NXD data since 2007 to domain frontrunners [1] and I wouldn't be surprised if frontrunners are behind the plethora of free whois services that show up on a Google search.

I'm factoring in those agile/lean/scrum/4letterword frameworks.

What I mean is to be wary of minimum number of features that you need to sell. Obviously if you were building a database to rival MySQL or OrientDB, the bar is that much higher.

Likewise, I think that if the MVP takes longer than 3 month for OP, it's wise to say that more resources are going to be required for that niche which OP may not have.

An MVP will signal whether the pain your customers is experiencing is urgent enough. If they start complaining why X doesn't work when Y has it then you've essentially created a vitamin solution, nice to have but nothing close to solving real pain points.
Good point. Perhaps people just "feel better" (i.e. experience less regret) with the decisions/actions they would have taken anyway, if they believe they have taken those decisions/actions with the benefit of some special knowledge/technique.

The whole "power poser" fiasco is a huge warning sign that science is well on the way to total failure. The problem is that scientists don't learn on their own, they are taught by other scientists what is acceptable or not. When the teachers are corrupted all the students follow and nobody knows anymore what is science.

The really worrying thing is that Cuddy and Fiske believe that they are doing science. They are amoral, not immoral.
