To me part of the problem is that they suggest an entire search phrase based on a few words. It's ludicrous that typing "how to" suggests "make money" and "make love". I feel like it would be better if they only provided suggestions when there was a smaller spectrum of possibilities available. Sometimes it feels like someone is trying to put ideas into your head. At best, the line between helpful and harmful is very blurred.
So if you're standing in an area, and I start firing bullets into that area while shouting "You deserve to be shot!", you're saying the onus was on you to not be in that area when I started shooting?
You're falling into your own words. You're believing what you want to believe instead of the facts. First, we know how welfare works and know how people suffered before welfare was put in place. Second, it there's profit to be made, someone will step in to make it. Even if it's not the company that is being taxed or whatever the video says.

Please don't ignore the facts in order to bolster your opinion. Do some research before commenting. The truth doesn't hurt as much as you believe, but it does take some time to understand.
If it is public knowledge you are allergic to peanuts and I intentionally throw some at you, that's clearly intent to cause harm. Intent is a big factor in law.

This is one of the most compelling reasons we should adopt Bitcoin. The nationalism that tells us that we should be concerned about this is appalling.
In a sense Linux is more "unix" than most, as it seems to expose via virtual file systems what other _nix expose via APIs.
For anyone that wants to actually learn about consciousness, I recommend the book "In the Theater of Consciousness: The Workspace of the Mind"[1]. It teases apart different aspects of what people call "consciousness", gives a theory that explains them, and describes the supporting evidence found so far. The theory suggests that some but not all animals are conscious.

I believe the theory -- "Global Workspace Theory"[2] -- is currently the leading theory of consciousness, though the field is still very new.

I must have expressed myself unclearly.

(First though: Windows now supports full disk encryption and secure boot. It certainly did not when I and it parted ways back in the days of XP SP1 circa 2002.)

I was not implying that the secure pass phrase/secure boot/etc be considered the basis for a secure mobile OS. Much the contrary. Multi-user systems with privilege hierarchies are fundamental aspects of how we now architect even our single-user devices. (Discussing whether another system is possible, desirable, and/or whether we could have or will eventually go down that route is midway between hypothetical and counter-factual.)
And remote administration tools and exploit kits and passwords dumpers and some form of keyloggers and many more interesting things.

I know very well what that means. These freaking AV flag my stuff all the time...
The checkbox is present in Twitter's main settings page (the one you land on immediately after clicking "Settings", not a subsection) and is also above-the-fold.

Also, I just found out he said a few months ago: "I was carrying my iPad, looking at the still image on the video and, without thinking, touched the PLAY button."

So it seems he's aware of it.
I'd be happy to concede that my real-life experience of re-frame isn't representative, if someone were to show me an example of best practise. My main worry working on real apps has been that it's very hard to layer subscribe/dispatch in a way that allows for modular components, while at the same time separating out component instance state and app state.

Beyond that, the new reg-effect-fx system isn't particularly mature, individual fx aren't extensible, e.g. being able to extend http-fx to cancel or debounce requests.

I don't _hate_ it, I'm building apps in it. I just think there's a lot of overhead above Reagent that I have yet to see pay off, and the idea that it _forces_ best practises is wrong. It's like an MVC system that lets you put (_encourages_ you to, if you read the docs) controller code anywhere.
The Communist Party of China is a well-entrenched organization with over 88 million members. They certainly have the scale, and thanks to the homegrown digital ecosystem (WeChat etc.) they also have the access to whatever they need to know about people's online activities to pull this off.
So true, thanks for writing that!

Don't give them the money just for two years, but guarantee them the money over their whole life and you will see vastly different results.

Another "problem" with this kind of study is that they are giving money only to unemployed people. Because it would be also interesting to see what people with jobs would do. I suspect a lot of people would switch from full-time to part-time jobs (at least that's what I would do).
Even more so for contemporary education. Cohorts by age, class scheduling, testing, GPA.

Any learning that happens is in spite of Taylorism.
The fact that people do something stupid and attribute it to a scientific discipline which suggests they shouldn't do it does not discredit that discipline.

Similarly, the Ariane 5 disaster doesn't mean that the idea of measuring the physical world with science is wrong.

There's nothing wrong with Taylorism. It works very well in a variety of fields (e.g. Uber and Amazon use Taylorism very effectively to manage their line workers). The fields where Taylorism isn't used (e.g. software development) are far less reliable and effective - Amazon can guarantee that your package will arrive in 2 days, can you guarantee that your software team will ship on time?
To be quite clear: YES.

Let's go over what the attacker did (and note, I'm not even going to touch the anti-semitism component).

They demonstrated premeditation, this appeared to be a second attempt at a prior failed attack.

The intent was to cause serious injury.

Max penalties for these types of things is ~10 years in prison.

Hypothetical : Let's say I had an powerful/advanced sniper rifle where I can target a specific person and cause them to have a seizure. Let's say I use this rifle from across state lines. Should I not be getting a visit from the FBI and ending up in federal prison?

Mesmerizing... sent this to my metal working Dad and he was harsh in his criticism:

- complete lack of safety gear for the workers, especially against hearing loss

- open coke burning contributing to air pollution

- no quality control with obvious cold working of the metal

- no noise or pollution abatement for the neighbors

There were more criticisms, but he was extremely dubious about the claim that the final product met US production standards.
So a select group of industries, including airlines, have seen a lot of consolidation - you're going to use that as an argument that we aren't in an era of hypercompetition. Sorry, not buying it.

And that's even more true because the airline example is actually flawed. Not all consolidation reduces competition. Look at the past few years, where Delta bought Continental and American and US Airways merged. You'd say that the number of "major" carriers dropped by two. Fine... now look at the Alaska Airlines / Virgin America merger... arguably Alaska is now on the cusp of becoming a "major" carrier, which can compete with the likes of American, Delta, United and Southwest.

So it was consolidation, but did it make things more or less oligarchical? The answer isn't as straight-forward as you might think. Likewise, the acquisition of Airtran by Southwest may actually have created my competition by giving Southwest more planes, gates, and routes - including their first few international routes.

None of this is to say that "management theory" is complete, perfect, or even useful. But this article fails to convince me that it's all just "dead ideas" either.
> Suppose you took a small region of the universe and reheated it to be unification temperature today...I don't suppose there's any way to do that...?

You're describing a particle accelerator. When we talk about the LHC accessing "higher energies" than the Tevatron [1] we are saying it is "baking" small parts of the universe to higher and higher temperatures.

> Everyone will receive the difference between what they make and what UBI guarantees.

This isn't UBI either.

UBI would simply give everyone the same income without subtracting the difference for extra earned income. You could earn millions and still receive your basic income.
I actually think it's worse than your examples, one could argue that the harm caused in those instances are because of recklessness.

In this case the person intended to inflict harm on another specific person.
Means-tested programs are the epitome of wasteful government bureaucracy. It's never the right way to "compromise". If we can't sell straight UBI, then something like universal food stamps would be a good first step:

The United States invented the digital totalitarian state.

Allow me to comment that the world, with nationalistic one-sided accusatory bullshit like this headline, is headed for war.
Yes. I would have probably done something deserving of being open fired upon. Probably I had called a huge portion of the country "deplorable" continuously.
So much stupidity here. If Twitter are responsible for autoplaying then the sender is more responsible because they sent it.

But seriously can't you see that the sender knew that it could cause the receiver harm, their tweet stated that was their intent, it caused harm, they are therefore responsible for that outcome.

Imagine I flew a drone into someone and they were hurt by it. I knew flying the drone I to them would hurt them, but I didn't make the drone, I didn't make the power that enabled it to fly. I didn't make people fragile enough to be hurt by the drone. But I directed it with intent, just like the sender did in this situation.
Exactly how long is unclear; however, post-R1, we intend to stop prioritizing it, and if it does stay around, it'll be secondary to continued development. There's been serious talk of actually branching R1beta1 on January 31, so, hopefully soon.

The kernel already has moved pretty far forward. BeOS audio drivers, for instance, don't really work anymore in favor of our new multi-audio API (I don't think anyone had any use for BeOS audio drivers; we merged all the open-source ones, I think), the VFS layer has gotten major upgrades, we rewrote the thread scheduler and removed the 8-core limit we inherited from BeOS, and already have added ASLR and DEP support, among lots of other improvements. I think the only thing at this point which actually is still compatible kernel-wise are FS drivers (sorta) and graphics drivers (although of these, we have more in-tree than BeOS ever did, so I don't know if anyone even uses old BeOS ones anymore).
"Possibilism" is a good way to think about the world: weighing what paths are opened by changes in scientific knowledge or human societies and what paths are blocked, but refusing to stay anchored to a conclusion just because it was true at one particular time in the past. It's unfortunate that "realist" has connotations of cynicism, because Rosling is a good realist in that he is more willing to discard conclusions than data.
We don't have any more evidence that other animals are conscious than we have that other people are conscious. As far as evidence is concerned, your cat is no more conscious than I am.

I want to be on record here. Today, December 17, 2016, I predict that this will fail. And by "fail", I mean that this will not become a universal entitlement in Finland.
AD 3) The typical answer is "why would you ever want to insert column in the middle of a table"? Logical order of columns is not connected with physical storage. MSSQL will physically arange columns in an order which ensures most effective perfomance (generally smallest data types at the beginning, largest at the end). Microsoft could make it so that new column is being inserted into any place in table definition, there just isn't any real reason to do it. You have to specify column order in select statement anyway so.. (SELECT * is bad bad practice for anything serious)
I wonder how hard would detection be for this kind of dangerous content. A basic detection for rhythmic spikes in frame brightness should not be very hard to implement.
Oh, that reference was more of an example of an ambitious project trumped by going against a national character. The U.S. hasn't undertaken any huge public infrastructural projects in quite some time, so how could the gov't build such a massive wall? Similarly, how could China, a country's whose politics and economy is currently characterized by corruption and opportunism, be able to create a seamless universal panopticon?

Then again, I suppose the Great Firewall has been quite a technical feat.

That's a fair point. That probably is harder to detect.
> Cabal sandboxes weren't much harder to use than stack… The actual benefit of stack is sharing compiled packages across all sandboxes instead of rebuilding everything every time.

I disagree. Stack saves tons of time by giving me package versions that just build together.

Dyre?
The amount of propaganda in the news right now is at an all time high. The general population is becoming acutely aware of this though. There is a narrative pushed by every major news station that is false.

The Russian hacking allegation is a classic piece of red scare propaganda, right out of the book. Scarier than a Donald Trump presidency, is a constant barrage of fear mongering news.
I think it's the other way around. We have plenty of evidence that humans are doing something different than most creatures and have trouble articulating exactly what it is.

> It was IMHO a "revolution" that - for whatever reasons - never happened.

As best i can tell, the history of computers has shown again and again that the market will tolerate at best 2 major commercial platforms.

Anyone trying to introduce a third will face a steep entry requirement.

Damn it, Jobs could not get Next off the ground when it was basically BSD with a pretty face. He needed the brand name recognition of Apple to effectively bring a revamped Next to the world (OSX).

And here came another contender that was neither one of the established platforms (Apple and Microsoft), nor was it a _nix derivative (Next ran on a BSD kernel). And it tried to pitch a vertically integrated stack in the form of BeOS running on Bebox.
That's not what the medical research suggests. You can "force" yourself to follow a different schedule, but your natural chronotype is biologically-determined, so you will never truly adapt.
As much as one can criticize formal Business education, that's just not accurate. The operational side is not the main focus or even covered in depth. Pretty much every Business curriculum will start with a firm denunciation of Taylorism.

It's very interdisciplinary. Basically an amalgamation of psychology, sociology, anthropology and even philosophy in an organizational context. The soft-science status is very much acknowledged.

Personally, I'd even say far too often it strays into self-help territory.

There's just a natural bias towards Fortune-500-sized organizations.
The United States already includes social media into police threat scoring algorithms, which are used to track and prioritize police surveillance and citizen 'nudging'.

Algorithms across the US attempt to constrain the conversation to maintain confidence in public institutions. Facebook censored me from posting the Snowden documents. It stopped Mayday protestors from organizing. Amazon took down Wikileaks (for a short while).

This article is just an instance of hate-them-not-us propaganda. The problem is that I don't hate the Chinese, they are a peaceful country (read: are in and have not been in wars, are leaders of the UN peacekeeping forces, and do not militarily interfere in other countries' affairs). Plus they have done nothing to me and I love all the Chinese people I have met.

I really wish this wasn't so "pro-morning people." The framing should have been "Researchers uncover why late-night people should not work in the morning," since we're the ones being discriminated against by society.

Ask HN: Is the virus/anti-virus story on Windows any better today?
The last time I ran a Windows (8) computer was years ago. You "had" to have anti-virus software and most of the anti-virus software was bloatware that only seemed to slow the computer down. Reinstalling the entire operating system every few months was simply a matter of course. I am still amazed by how zippy OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD desktops are compared to the Windows I am used to.

However, I need to be able to run Photoshop so I'm looking into Mac and Windows desktops again. If I wanted to go with a Mac, I'd be dropping at least $1k on a good Mac mini. If I went with Windows, I could simply reinstall Windows on my FreeBSD desktop ($100 for the Windows license). But I'm very wary of going back to the days of the bloatware that you "needed" to install to protect you from... worse bloatware?

Is Windows still like this? Or has the state of virus/bloatware-protection improved?
Ta, I'd seen the name, but not looked at it in depth.
That it won't become a universal entitlement as it is - that's pretty easy to predict. Question is whether Finland (and the rest of us) could learn from this experiment and make our current system better using the knowledge we gain from it, or not. "Failing" would be an appropriate term only if this would have zero effect on what we have today.
Is there any data backing up the idea that it actually is a disincentive?

1. Anyone I know that has received benefits for being unemployed desperately wants to be employed again.

2. In the UK, unless things have changed, you can work up to 16 hours per week while receiving unemployment benefits and I believe the benefits you receive gradually falls with the amount of work you get paid for.

3. If you suddenly lose your job benefits aren't built so that you can maintain your current life style. You likely have car, insurance, and mortgage payments to make and the benefits you're receiving either just get you by or you have to renegotiate some of that debt. Not a situation you want to be in long-term.
A well written piece of propaganda ...

The fact that pushed me over the edge is when I learned a cat twitching in its sleep is dreaming. Apparently all mammals dream.

Now we haven't exactly defined consciousness, but I can't really imagine how you can have dreaming without having an experience that "counts" to me.

Sometimes scientists use "recognizing oneself in a mirror" as the definition of "self-awareness", but I'd be sure to differentiate self-aware and conscious, because infants can't recognize themselves in mirrors, but they almost certainly experience pain that shapes them for life.
Easy there Nostradamus.

No, I am not being sarcastic. I am being a cold realist. This is the path to self-preservation.

I did not advocate an "I'm going to get you approach" in the least. I am advocating the opposite: that the OP distance himself from his own reactions, and take whatever steps are necessary to make her behavior rebound back on her. No tricks or traps. No revenge plotting. No righteous indignation. No character assassination. Cold and careful strategy. Recognize the threat. Stay in control. Collect your evidence. Act to mitigate it using the established means that exist to do so.

She invoked the nuclear option the moment she played the sexism card. This means she feels threatened by his work. Not by him, but by his work. There is no going back once this happens. Anyone who falsely makes or implies such a thing is a direct threat to your career and reputation. You have to treat it like a loaded gun is aimed at you. As I said, she can end this at any time by changing her behavior, which in this case means admitting that no sexism occurred and that she was the guilty party.
I remember it being discussed in terms of regardless of whether or not it will be problematic for the general population of China the gamification of society being controlled by a government is somewhat worrying simply because losing points for healthy criticism of your country discourages discourse which can be used to improve the current society.
