Is it really though? Like somebody else said, they don't really expose a lot of the "behind the scenes" details of the political system of that world. I mean, most of the scenes are set on a military vessel and isolated to a small snippet of the overall society. I think it's dangerous to assume too much about the Federation world as a whole.

OTOH, it's been years, if not decades, since I watched, so maybe there's more of that than I'm remembering.
Over-reward? By what measure? If capital amplifies negotiating power then it means that capital is more important. One who can acquire capital to use in negotiation is using the most leverage to create value.

Labor's value is exactly what someone is willing to pay for it.

Ask HN: Why companies ask if I'm latino?
Hi, been aplying to jobs and A LOT, about 80%-90% of them have a SPECIFIC dropdown where I have to answer that yes, I'm latino.

Why?
It does not depends on a threat model. It works like that: a company sysadmins's being given a rubberhose cryptoanalysis until he compromises company's server. Than, all of that 1bn user r pwned.

No company is immune from that: google lost data to a sysadmin who was blackmailed in 2012, facebook regularly fires staff for snooping on users, etc

I still have friends who use the Wii occasionally -- living room dancing games in particular still seem popular. So I'm not sure how accurate this is.

The bottom line is that the Wii differentiated itself in a way that people cared about at the time and the Wii U differentiated itself in a way that nobody really cared about. Also, keep in mind that even the Wii U lineup from Nintendo was a bit disappointing. It had Mario games, sure, but nothing that felt like a successor to Super Mario Galaxy. And it's only getting Zelda now that their next console is launching.

I'm not at all convinced the Switch will suffer the same fate. If Nintendo effectively makes the Switch the successor to both the 3DS and the Wii U and merges their home console and portable console products and divisions, the result could end up being pretty unique and desirable. It's already got Zelda, and it will have Mario by the end of the year. Throw in full-console Pokemon, Monster Hunter, and Pikmin games -- many of which would have previously been made only for the 3DS in stripped-down mobile versions -- and I can see it really taking off.

I for one skipped out on the Wii U but have already placed a preorder for the Switch. I primarily play games on my PC and the PS4 and Xbox One feel redundant and underpowered in comparison. The Switch though feels like a much more compelling package for me.
Many Linux systems now support livepatch to update the kernel for security fixes without rebooting.
That was an exaggeration, but many times programs that look identical (aside from window frames) across platforms don't show the window frames for every platform. Electron apps (for as unpopular as they may be) are pretty platform agnostic. If they show it on windows and just have a linux/mac download button its not a big deal.

skype.com probably fits the bill of looks shit, but it shows android and windows 10 screenshots only.

obsproject.com shows a lot of screenshots that look pretty windows 10-ish... but it also announces "Latest Releases <platform logos>" right at the top of the page.

sublimetext.com shows windows only screenshots. And then mentions platforms at the bottom of the page.

https://slack.com/is shows only mac screenshots. I imagine this reflects more on the developers than the actual product. Im pretty sure its available on other platforms.

And my point was less about quality of programs, but availability. showing the window frame of a single OS does not mean that only that OS is available, sometimes that's just the only OS the marketing team uses.
To say that introverts are drained and extroverts are charged by interactions with people doesn't seem right to me.

It feels like saying "Power lifters are energized by weight lifting; frail people are drained by weight lifting."

Interacting with people (like lifting weights) is just work. People who are good at it make it look easy. People who are bad at it get tucker'd out.
Urging everyone to approach issues rationally is fine, but how can you excuse the inherent irrationality ("isn't a situation where ... did anything inappropriate") in denying that climate change/global warming is happening? (I am not saying it is or is not anthropogenic -- as far as I know, that is less settled.)
Yes. I have never got that insistence on UI nativity. Is there any OS where it's actually practical to only use programs that conform exactly to the vendor's UI style? All the major desktop OSes depend on tons of "non-native" programs to actually do work. Android usually requires some, and I'm not sure about iOS as I've never seriously used it, but I would guess the case is similar there.

It seems like "must be UI native" is a way for Mac fanboys to try to enforce their preferred design paradigm on otherwise-uninterested people.

I would expect him to change most of the whitehouse.gov pages anyways. If Obama had a page on taxing toothpicks, taking it down doesn't mean that Trump is opposed to taxing toothpicks.

Show HN: A software solution to ultrasound blood flow monitoring
> A web UI ensures everyone has a great user experience right out of the gate.

That may be true for you, but it's in no way as universal as you seem to think.

I have a productive workflow (that gives me enough free time to comment on HN :-) that is effective for the several things I work on during the day (a couple of development projects, some management, etc). Hopping over to some web silo doesn't speed things up for me.

The real reason people stick to the current model is because it works. A common baseline lets people use the tools that work for them rather than trying to cram everyone into the same procrustean tools space.
? I'm not defending WhatsApp...
For those interested, this is destined to any situation where monitoring blood flow is useful, in any vessel available to ultrasound imaging. HN offered me a repost of this story due to my comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13423421
, where automated anesthesia has been mentioned. The problem is that making people sleep is only part of the job, and the feedback required to create an automated feedback loop is lacking in many aspects of the process. This was created as a potential piece of the puzzle. Unfortunately, it was deemed too technical by my boss to be worthy of support (the concept is high-school physics level, notice...). I am looking for companies/research groups/individuals active in ultrasound research who would be interested in attempting to refine the technique, so if you know someone, don't hesitate to contact me: raoul.schorer@gmail.com
I'll admit that building the meditation habit is difficult, due not to skepticism (I definitely feel the benefits) but just because meditation is hard. It's much like going to the gym. I'm generally open-minded, not skeptical, but I definitely do explore ideas and "facts" before I come to my own conclusions. I definitely encourage you to try meditation a couple times (the first dozen times will be difficult), keep an open mind, and you will very likely discover the benefits on your own accord.

I didn't say the Federation was post-state. I said it had many characteristics of post-state communism. These include:

- No money -- everything is free

- Housing provided for free

- A post-scarcity society in which civilians do not need to work and are free to pursue their own interests

- Complete social equality for civilians (who are outside the military chain of command)

The existence of a military is not one of the post-state communist features, but on balance, society in Star Trek is closer to post-state communism than any real communist society has ever been. Besides, even the "military" is supposed to be for exploration and not war, according to the statements of the characters in the show.

"for programming" ...

I programmed just fine on a single core idk-what older celeron with 512MB of RAM and a.. idk ~1000x700 resolution (and even all that was waaaay too much). Next time say what you want to program, as for web and such programming you need a ton of RAM (and probably cpu) while some things/languages you can program just fine with 256MB and a weak cpu.

Bdw cherry trail has a sound card in the cpu that doesn't yet work under linux.

edit: ".. IntelliJ IDEA?" Requirements are clear: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IntelliJ_IDEA . And you can just open your task manager and see how much memory or cpu it uses.
That is a great idea. If we need to add features to GitLab to do this please let us know.

There is no easy path you can follow sadly. It depends on your use case quite a bit. Clojure gives you a lot of options and you have to find your own way.

What Clojure gives you by default, are thread safe mutation constructs, atoms, agents and refs that help a lot if you want to do simply concurrent things without worrying about race conditions.

Clojure also has support to get some data parallelism, you can easily do a lot with reducers and transducers. Its quite nice.

For more complex stuff, core.async gives you a powerful CSP library, its as powerful as what the Go programming language gives you (I think its nicer because Go has statements instead of expressions).

Because Clojure is on the JVM, you get access to all the Java stuff, java.util.conncurrent, and you can get a lot of powerful tools there (ThreadPools and stuff like that).
You don't need to know what the server does with your data if the client is encrypting it properly.

The client-server architecture is irrelevant here.

Read this, then flip the roles: https://paragonie.com/blog/2016/03/client-authenticity-is-no...

Reverse engineer the client-side app. You now know what the client-side app (the part that people want to be open source) is doing. You don't need to know what the server's code is doing.

This was enough for my situation, but not optimal for heavy use.

First Question:

Lets suppose I'm human right activist in Egypt. If I enabled security notification in WhatsApp and other person's phone is captured by authorities but they cannot unlock it so they make it that user lost their phone.
Now, if I send the message to that user, is this message received by other party with warning that is not encrypted or it is not delivered at all?

Second Question:

Is there any guarantee that server cannot change settings on the client?
One thing a lot of us underestimate is the flexibility of things like spreadsheets, and believe it or not, paper.

The resolution of an A4 piece of paper is a crisp 3508px x 2480px. For comparison, my MacBook Air is about a third of that at 1440px x 900px.

And, the processes companies have developed over years are tailored to that medium. While tech has gotten drastically cheaper in recent years, it still needs to get cheaper still for most businesses.

Nintendo is a really interesting company. They go from wild, raging successes like the Wii to big commercial failures like the Wii U, though their flagships are always consistently high-quality.

One of the things that has always differentiated Nintendo is that they really don't seem to care about what the American market thinks. Sony and Microsoft got first-class online services two generations ago, whereas Nintendo still has people exchange friend codes (finally changing now with the Switch). Nintendo makes decisions that anyone with a passing familiarity in the American market could tell you were doomed from the get-go, like making the GameCube purple by default, and then they persist in those decisions for many years.

The Wii U is a great console. My whole family loves it, and there are a lot of excellent games on it. It's sad to see it go, but definitely not unexpected. I hope the Switch lives up to that high standard of quality.
Right now I'm more interested in the second, as I believe that will help me understand more about how Ubuntu boxes are best maintained/structured, and hopefully help me to understand how tools are "installed" on Unix.

I've been working on putting together an in-depth series of blog posts about it. I'm presenting on the topic of better error handing in go at the Agile Tech Conference this year, and I'd like to start getting everything in order soon- I'll probably post here on HN.

In the short term I have a really rudimentary library I've put up here: https://github.com/asteris-llc/gofpher and a presentation on it here https://github.com/rebeccaskinner/presentations/tree/master/... (should build with pdflatex, I need to get an actual pdf built soon)

Rob Pike has a blog post that looks at a similar, although ideologically different, approach to doing it: https://blog.golang.org/errors-are-values

I think the latter is more go-ish, although also less generic than the monadic approach- it's also more in keeping with the ideology of go, but in practice I still never see it being used much in production code.
I think this is just an aspect of the writing style of that era and where technology was at that era.

The futurist writers (Roddenberry and his staff) probably didn't have a in-depth knowledge of natural language processing. The type of processing the computer does in Star Trek just seems like a natural extension of input/output. You tell the computer what you want and it gives you a result.

From a computer science and engineer perspective, this is an incredibly difficult task. You have to parse the crazy complex natural language of humans and turn it into a series of procedures and queries to give you a result.

I mean you'd need a crazy super-advanced beyond-data AI for universal translators to work too. .. but that's just a convenient plot/suspension of disbelief device. :-P

Yeah, the liability there seems too much. It seems like this would be pretty easy to enforce other ways, though. Use your phone in class? Immediate detention. Suspension if it's happening repeatedly. Alternatively, immediate confiscation. Goes into a padded envelope and waits for a parent to claim it.
