This is an argument that comes up a lot and usually it becomes clearer when this concept of democracy is simplified anecdotally:

If 5 people come to you and take your car from you, most reasonable humans would call that theft and consider it to be immoral.

The same 5 people come to you and say, we're going to take a vote on whether we should take your car and give you a bicycle, but here's the consolation, you will also be included in the democratic process. I think we all know what the outcome of such an election would be. Would you consider that to be a moral or immoral thing?

Just because I'm included in a democratic process which I didn't sign up for in the first place doesn't make it right to replace my car with a bicycle.
Ideally, people would be able to to what they want without having to hide or proclaim it.

My sincerest desire has always been to just be left the hell alone.
In this case, consistency would imply the immutability of time.

My biz partner and I have a recruiting software company that makes career portals for corp HR and staffing firms (SnapHop).

We power many many branded niche staffing firm career portals. There are basically niche job boards but with recruiters backing it. For example I believe there is one just for retired nurses. It is very akin to all the different dating services.

It is absolutely amazing how many of them there are and how well they still do despite Indeed and Linkedin.

I imagine one of the major staffing firms (randstad, manpower, etc) will probably pick up this niche soon. Probably through an acquisition. The major staffing firms have thousands of niche job boards.
In order to be able to convert in multiple formats, you need a base format that's universal and well documented: that's text format. But you need to be able to add formatting & more, so the format could be either LaTeX or Markdown.

To convert formats, pandoc[1] looks to be the standard.

Naysayers. The world will pour billions of dollars in Swift the coming years and they will keep complaining about it.

The most important advantage of Swift is that it allows you to code from the server to the desktop, mobile, watch, tv, IoT, in one language.

Swift will be everywhere and some are afraid of that, very afraid.

What on earth is this all about? Having spent a year working mostly in Swift I can't wait to see the back of it, even "billions" of dollars spent wouldn't turn it into a halfway decent programming language.
Code inflation nicely cancels out gains from Moore's law. But there's also another interesting phenomenon seen in embedded hardware - it seems that each generation of devices has more (exponentially more?) computing power on-board, while the user-facing functionality stays the same or even slightly degrades. For example, the functionality of today's fridges, kettles and washing machines is equivalent to those made 20 years ago, but today's versions will break down faster and in ways nigh impossible to fix by yourself.

We're about to have Android running on toasters. And I can't stop myself from asking the question - why?
Statistics vs. Machine Learning, fight

It had fixed and variable record based files in addition to regular stream type files. All had built in versioning as well.

Also, fast loosely coupled clusters, with distributed file systems and locking...back in the early 80's.
Unless money is redistributed then new money will indeed have to be introduced under UBI.

If it is redistributed, then taxes seem an obvious method. And clearly the richer should be taxed more, since we're attempting redistribution.

Unfortunately we all know that trickle-down economics fail, and corporate/elite lobbyists work hard to restrain corporate/elite taxes, to keep worker wages low, and to engage in practices such as zero-hours contacts.... and so on.

So... introducing new money risks inflation. Redistributing money risks perpetuating the existing broken system.
There wasn't when it was funded.
Apples and oranges.
You're comparing SPA paraphernalia with a library that basically gives you a sane cross browser JS API's and some goodies.

Yes, you can develop highly interactive, reasonably complex web apps with jQuery, but then you would have to develop a lot of abstractions, guidelines and whatnot to keep the thing from exploding. That's pretty much what those SPA libraries and frameworks are.

About server side, IMO there's no inherent advantage on picking node over java other than the fact you'll have one less language in your stack(or not, since you may end up using TypeScript or some other compile-to-js language).

> I don't think $199 will buy you a laboratory grade sensor though.

I don't think so either. I was thinking more about "not the cheapest crap you can source for < $10 on Aliexpress". Some sensors that are even remotely capable of making reliable and accurate measurements in end-user conditions.
Fair enough. Though even RMS argues today that real names and personal data of online users shouldn't be accessible to everyone.

I haven't looked at Swift at all. would you mind elaborating?
The way Kennet went is "the API is everything". Well, for requests, yes. But for maya, his API is in now way an improvment for existing tech, so we don't gain much. But there is such a thing as having too many choices, and yes, him working on this project instead of the other one will have an impact : dividing attentions, publicity, everything, tutorials, everything.
We need more colorful idioms, not less, lest English subside into some unremarkable beige blandness. The English language has always been about cornering other languages, beating them up, and stealing random pieces of their syntax and vocabulary, usually after corrupting them horribly.

I enjoyed this! I'd personally move the DM section to the top, and put the bit about pre-made quests earlier too and that was the question I had in my mind when I started reading, but it wasn't answered until the end of the document.

Also, are there groups where you can play online, or find people to play with online?
I wonder what the VCS landscape would have looked like if git was being developed on top of VMS rather than Linux...
I don't agree with this post at all, but my understanding is that downvotes on HN are for content that does not contribute to discussion, as opposed to content with which one disagrees.

This is a well-written and heartfelt statement of a point of view on this topic and it deserves respect for that, even if you fundamentally disagree with its thesis ( as I do, on at least two separate counts ).
China to return US Navy's seized drone
That's far too optimistic. I can't find the full text of this dementia study, but the one where they concluded sauna improves cardiovascular health barely gives any thought to the idea that perhaps men with a worse subjective assessment of their health are more likely to find it unwise to go to sauna too frequently. (In the closing paragraph they do a disclaimer "It is possible that underlying diagnosed or undiagnosed diseases may affect saunabathing habits, but our subgroup analyses according to various clinical characteristics were consistent.")
This is why I love hackernews.
VMS had early support for clustering and associated technologies like shared filesystems with a distributed lock manager.

VMS had amazing support for terminal servers, so that each terminal user could choose among several connected computers. Terminal I/O was almost completely offloaded: it was common for other users to get delays and random short freezes, but VMS terminal users had smooth responsive I/O all the time.

DEC mandated the Common Language Environment, something like the C library calling convention but much better thought out and specified. It was totally normal to write an application in two or three languages because you felt that each language had advantages for that part. Every compiler and interpreter knew how to call functions from the CLE and export their own.
Your code stops compiling with a pretty unhelpful error message. Y'know, like Segmentation Fault 11, and a stack trace into the swift compiler sourcecode if you're lucky.

XCode doesn't always crash (though it does, frequently), but syntax highlighting goes away at the first hint of an issue.

The truth is we are pretty much still in the "using leechs to let blood" phase of being able to target drugs to brain chemistry. We know there is stuff firing wrong/activating wrong. We have theories why that is the case. But thoes theories are pretty basic, and we lack the capability to build drugs that affect the changes we want.

So, instead, we find existing drugs that help cope with symptoms.

As for the EEG part: you,in fact, can start to do that (using EEGs and qEEGs).
See NEBA, etc.

"Conclusively" is hard, of course.
You often can't conclusively establish someone has a brain tumor from an EEG, and those often have huge impact on the brain.
The actor model is not far from the AMQP pub/sub model. I have talked about this on Stackoverflow [1]. The real advantage for Akka would be not having to go over the wire when forking (aka recursing on a problem).

That being said AMQP has so many advantages particularly because there are so many clients and you could in theory have a thin facade over any AMQP library that does routing locally for certain queues (we actually do this for our Java message bus). It is also because of message reilability.

If you use AMQP you can have a very heterogenous environment. Infact I even wrote some consumers recently in Rust to replace some Java ones but are not production ready (still waiting for heartbeat support).

Yeah you could use Akka as a consumer but here is the shocker it actually isn't that good if your messages need to be reliable. This is because most Akka rabbitmq consumers are auto ACK. This is because RabbitMQ is actually a pull model when using prefetch + manual ack. Akka is not and will drop messages.

The reactive streams model [2] (rxjava2 and future akka stuff) is not as flexible nor as powerful as AMQP as there is no per message ACK but rather an ACK for a group of messages. Yes you could set the request/demand rate to 1 but that would hurt performance. Again AMQP shines for message reliability.

Ultimately the 'charging station' is going to become a socket on the wall that is a beefier version of what you might plug a kettle into. Some people with posh garages might have these fancy snake things but everyone else will be getting some charging lead and plugging it in.

I can imagine it becoming a viable business to dig up a whole street and to install sockets for every space on both sides of the road, for electricity to be sold and parking charged for. We have seen this with the roads being dug up for fibre broadband.

What I don't ever imagine is the street outside my house ever having snake style robot arms every few yards, sockets I could imagine and I could imagine some gold rush where the streets get dug up to cash in on some electric car boom, even before electric cars are ubiquitous. With cable we had the streets dug up for relatively few takers, but in time, with broadband, everyone became dependent on that service.
At the 29 sec mark it just seems like the lights got turned off in that room?
Well this is a very interesting question.

A) what possible use is there for having my car connected to the Internet?

B) you realise that "the cloud" as used by most people today is just a marketing gimmick term for hosting shit on computers someone else controls, right?

C) In the traditional sense, "the cloud" is the network connection between a client device and the servers it's connecting to: eg the last mile connection, ISP wan, peered ISPs/etc all the way to the data centre.
If they want to change behavior they should simply ban abusive users from the network, starting with a 1 day ban and increasing it with each next offense. There are people who will pay the $24/hr, when the cost:benefit analysis favors that choice.
The lesser we will drive on our own the more time we will have doing other things.

API services (parkermeister.com, idrop.in) that bring value to this experience will be immensely useful.
Yup, skipped out on that info. Mb.

Basically what I did previously was use Distroshare to create an iso, which could then be burned to USB using Unetbootin. Unetbootin did its own magic, but it worked.
Now I have a two partition USB-stick, one with /boot & /EFI, the other holding the e.g. ubuntu-16 iso. The default one from Canonical boots just fine, but not my custom version.

I did it that way because I thought it'd be handy. If you could give pointers on how to create a live USB image, I'd greatly appreciate it ;).
Also, it's all Ubuntu (16.04 & 14.04).

This was not a trivial system for it's time. Do you change your ssh keys and certificates every day?

The enigma had a new encryption code for everyday distributed on paper and torn off and destroyed once used. The were different codes and machines used in different branches of the army/navy and the system was updated through the war.

The British didn't get to see the machines or it's method for many years. There were 159 quintillion possible keys and even a 1 million guesses/second it would take 5 million years to guess a code - and don't forget they changed everyday. Also, remember there were no computers to do this, let alone one that that could even remotely approach 1 million operations a second.

So you ought to able to see at the time people were pretty confident it couldn't be broken, and if they hadn't made some mistake in it's use e.g. distributing weather reports, it might have not been.

We are arguably much more complacent than they were vs. their time. It was only recently that perfect forward security became a thing in HTTPS for example (i.e. different key for each connection).
Is it though? Is the Postgres optimizer that much worse? As for the ORM, I was trying to point out that something like ActiveRecord doesn't rely on the inherent capabilities of the RDBMS as much as raw SQL might. So things like stored procedures, triggers, advanced CTEs, etc. don't really add any value.
Is it not possible to get multi thread compiling with swift in Xcode today?
They did temporarily ditch the currency though. There was a transition period where the currency was pegged to the US Dollar.
Basically I think that's dumb.

That sounds harsh, but I think this is over-reach on the part of the FDA and is limiting innovation.

A long as the device doesn't give a diagnostic output I don't see it as a big issue. The potential benefit from personal heath monitoring is huge.

It's the same with 23andme and other consumer genomic tests, let people experiment a bit when it's essentially harmless.
Many teachers here on HN who think they are programmers while they're only "Lehramt".

I'm not surprised by the low quality of discussion.
Yep, I can confirm the same thing.
Brooks argument if I remember right was about humans software always trying to push the envelope. So it is always going to be hard.

The inflationary phenomena described here is more about incremental decorative and accidental complexity. The root cause is not the human enterprising drive to go boldly where no man gone before.

Looking at the examples of adding headers and command line bells and whistles I wonder what human trait drives this? Those seem (product-)management and architecture/framework type decisions possibly driven by a need to have things uniform and under control.

Moore's law is tiring (it is more obvious on the data center side than in devices yes). Will we become more frugal again?

I also suspected this is fake. There's just something about the setup - the too-perfect lighting, the beautiful shiny robot, not a real-world flaw to be seen. It sucks but I have to agree. Without corroboration, I judge this to be fake.

That sucks. I want this to be real. But we really are here, you cannot even trust video. Fucking crazy.
I think you're being downvoted due to strawman ([s]he praised documenting concepts, not the documentation as a whole) but you're right though. I've never dived into my toolchain code (due to missing or frugal documentation) more than I've been forced to with Webpack.

It suffers from tutorial-like instructions and a lack of formal list-like documentation, which leads to conflicting or confusing configurations (very easy since there are multiple ways to do the same thing, shortcuts found in the CLI but not in the configuration, etc.)

I love Webpack, but the documentation is really rough in some places.

Because is a Built-in solution.

>I find the continuing undertones of sexism accusations frustrating: firstly, it was the 50s

It is possible to regard the historical period (and by implication, the social context) of the events as an excuse of the pervasive sexism (but given the vaunted propensity to distrust authority and disregard social conventions, it is quite weak as excuses go), but it certainly does not make the events any less sexist.
> just how she interpreted them

That is EXACTLY the root of the problem. People interpreted them differently. Especially if there are a country / cultural difference.
That's again not true. ARD reported on the 4th of January, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexuelle_%C3%9Cbergriffe_in_de.... ZDF followed on the 5th.
Plus $24 per hour is a cheap parking spot in some cities. I might just park my gas guzzler at a SuperCharger the next time I can't find a reasonable spot.

I'm assuming that the charger only knows you're parked there because it's plugged in. What's to keep a Tesla owner from unplugging the charging cable and leaving the car in the parking spot? Maybe they'll use some of the wireless features in the car?
What are we supposed to do about the millions of legacy sites and applications that use Flash, that nobody is going to update?

I don't give a cp about taxable income. They should not have that much power. Period. Take it away from them and put it to good use.
So, people will be angry that someone stops net receiving tax money and starts net paying tax money (relative to the services they receive)?

Don't get me wrong, I know full well many people are irrational and petty - but aren't these people that'll find some other irrational detail to get angry about?

Being angry that a cheap system for welfare helps someone get off welfare makes no sense. Especially if one disagree with having a welfare system?
Ah. The post is using the correct 'its'. I started doubting my grasp of grammar after I saw your comment, and after reading through Merriam-Webster's article on the usage of 'its versus it's', was ready to punch out a snarky retort about how it was _you_ who got it wrong.

Good thing I clicked on the link before all that.
