Very happy to find this here. I'm a practicing Stoic, but largely in "stealth-mode", meaning I don't talk to people, other than my wife, about it. Stoicism is a wonderful philosophy for overcoming adversity and, beyond that, finding a deep and persistent joy in life.

It has some interesting similarities to Buddhism but is, in my opinion, much more suitable for engineers. There is a strong emphasis put on logic and understanding the world around you through science. While ancient stoics did base some parts of the philosophy on religion, it is no where near an essential part of the philosophy, whereas buddhism is slightly more difficult (though far from impossible) to decouple from mysticism.

Epictetus is a great source, as are the writings of Marcus Aurelius and Seneca (the younger).

Well presumably this hypothetical IoT application would have to support TCP/IP. Against that, a few hundred bytes of state table for the limited subset of XML required for basic XMPP would count for much.

Of course it is.

This can be described as "cognitive dissonance". There is also a widely observed phenomenon where people are much less likely to recognize their own faults, even if they are able to observe the same fault in people around them.

I think it factors down to priorities. When a state's industry (therefore state government revenues and employment -- the leading indicator of whether voters are happy with their current representatives) is threatened, politicians will conveniently ignore the fact that their actions are the opposite of "free market".

The same kind of rent-seeking (economic term, not related to being a landlord) is visible in the telecom area (incumbents lobbying for legislation to prevent local governments from competing as broadband ISPs), the cable industry (lobbying local governments to prevent competition by higher speed internet competition), car dealerships lobbbying to defend existing state laws that prevent Tesla from selling directly to consumers, etc.

And the larger problem in the social media / echo chamber era is that political parties encourage and demand unity, so people of the same political party are not likely to call them out on their crony legislation. It is sad, because conservative voters are more likely to only hear and trust news if it comes from conservative voices (just as liberals are more likely to trust news only if it comes from liberal voices).

I see it as a personal challenge to figure out how to better distribute objective news to people of all political beliefs and I'm investigating exploiting behavior / cognitive science to do it. Message me if anyone has ideas or a similar desire.
Is that book similar in structure to the book "The Design of the Unix Operating System" by Maurice Bach? (or is it Design and Implementation of ... don't remember - had read it some years ago).
Sad Truth.
That is a serious allegation - can you cite any evidence?
It has ever been thus.
In 1.6:

> Dynamic typing combined with mutable variables is flexible but also dangerous. You can unintentionally change the type of a variable with a wayward assignment that might crash your program much later. Or you can inadvertently reuse a variable name and wipe out any data in the variable. An undetected typo can result in data being sent to a black hole.

That is not a characteristic of dynamic typing, but of a spartan interpreter implementation and possibly language design aspects not related to dynamic typing.

If a language doesn't distinguish variable binding from assignment, that is a poor design choice which interferes with the ability to trap an assignment to a nonexistent variable and promotes the silly variable re-use alluded above.

If binding is distinct from assignment, we can diagnose the situation when a symbol is assigned that was not instantiated previously by binding.

Moreover, we can use lexical binding to introduce new variables wherever we need them, rather than re-using. We can still choose to write long functions in which variables are re-used for different purposes in different sections, but the language isn't foisting this bad design on us.

No.

RSA or other asymmetric crypto is only used during connection establishment for authentication. Then symmetric key is established using DH and you use symmetric encryption to encrypt the data.
not everyone is selfish as you claim. I, as well as many mature adults, support higher taxes and work against global warming even though both those things could directly hurt me but are better for the public as a whole. that's the difference i guess.
OK, let's require that the renewable tech is only allowed if made on the US soil? Anything less wholesale.
As you note in your edit, your comment's parent likely wasn't intended to be normative. It was instead, I think, intended to normalize psychiatric medication.

Because this will give income to people who don't have amount of money right now. They will also come in market to buy things. So total number of people buying stuff will increase.

Even if we accepted that kind of reasoning, it is not applicable to wind, because shipping is really problematic due to their ever-increasing sizes, so they're usually produced locally.
Not from Wyoming, but this seems like a classic disagreement between the average state resident (or rather, the industry that has purchased her legislator) and some exceptional municipality. Since it's Wyoming I'm guessing Jackson Hole. Probably they wanted to have something nice to brag about to coastal rich people conflicted about vacationing in a red state, so they were going to require local ratepayers to purchase some percentage of "clean" energy. Outlawing this sort of local arrangement is just the sort of thing that state governments do. We've seen a lot of state laws outlawing public internet service, for example.
So this actually has nothing to do with the Raspberry Pi platform, and is just a SIP tool that should work on just about any Linux machine.
It's nice that we're looking to alternative ways to capture and store atmospheric CO2, but at time it also does look like we're working too hard to replicate a system that does that already (and has for a long time): plants.

Or does it mean that the time of planting trees and preserving forests is over now and we have to do it another (most often less efficient) way?

I'm actually happy that the FSF has considered this one:

They don't have the for-profit nature of both Mozilla and Canonical and perhaps supporting the FSF over either of those 2 (Mozillas failed FFOS and no availability of the UbuntuOS mobile devices) will ensure a stable OS that isn't Google-ware.

PS. I know Mozilla isn't for-profit, but they abandoned FFOS just like a for-profit would
Hi, I'm not sure why you object so strongly to this.

The medium is atypical of HN posts, however if you take the time to inspect the content it is very much in line with reader interests. I will concede it's not the original content but a video isn't perhaps as friendly to the typical reader here (I certainly prefer something I can scan quickly and get the nuts of without having to listen to some guy whining for 3 minutes).

Since you specifically mention flagging I had a quick scan of the HN guidelines and I see nothing here that contravenes these:

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

With regards to the last line there, I actually went and looked at a couple of this guys videos, and from the point of view of a nerd who likes to get his hands dirty I found them enthralling.

I probably should have appended `[image]` to the title. Sorry I'm new to this and will remember for the future.

Finally, you yourself should review the submission guidelines I think:

Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think a story is spam or off-topic, flag it by clicking on its 'flag' link. If you think a comment is egregious, click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click 'flag' at the top. (Not all users see flag links; there's a small karma threshold.)

If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.

If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a common semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.

It triggers my OCD that the names of the authors are in alphabetical order on the cover and not in, you know, the logical order.
they've never cared about the "free market" or "big government". it's always been about whatever argument works best in the moment to help wealthy donors and destroy the planet the fastest with global warming.

I miss the S2000. I just drove one once and it was more than I wanted to pay, but it was damn fun.
I have the theory that if you give money to everybody, prices will go up because sellers will figure they can increase the price of everything without it negatively affecting sales, since every buyer simply has more money to spare, no excuses.
I use linux on laptop and I don't have problems(especially with xubuntu). I just install the base, run additional drivers, install the wifi/gpu drivers and done. It was always like this on my previous laptops and on others' laptops I've installed it.

Power saving on windows is an illusion, I don't remember getting more things done with the same laptop. Maybe it's the case if you use Unity/KDE/Gnome3 and similar heavy stuff...
If you want to spare more energy then use integrated graphics and amd|nvidia only if you want to play. Bumblebee can also help. Using XFCE, Firefox, playing videos with vlc(not with web players!), installing a blocking extension for your browser, avoiding electron/jvm/mono-based apps(ironic, I'm a Scala developer) can also reduce energy consumption. I use neovim for coding and it's a huge boost for me.

Suspending was always realiable on ubuntu for me. But with arch or arch-based distros it's a ~70% possibility for failure(according to my experience). On the other, hand putting windows to sleep is a serious hazard, it's not just hurts performance but it makes the os and its apps unstable(I use win7 at work).

I've heard that there are people with wifi problems but connection drops and packet losses are issues which are better to be reported. There is askubuntu.com, you can get help pretty fast by searching or asking.
Why ignore renewables that are being subsidised by another country?
Much of the state's budget is derived from the coal and gas industry. Hence, all our other taxes are low. For the past few years we have been in a budget crisis due to the drop in energy prices. The university and public schools in particular are having a real hard time as their budgets continue to be cut.

I'm not sure whether or not if this will pass. Given the current political climate and how broke we are, I've got a bad feeling.

"...if you wrong the power structure is it will withdraw funding."

I have the same fear, that this would be a tool used to encourage conformance. If not initially, then in time. Even in the US (but as you say, we're not likely to adopt basic income in the US.)

One would hope, however, that this would become a basic right, and not one that can be revoked for any reason whatsoever, even criminal convictions (perhaps especially criminal convictions.)
And as in the original "scheme" -- this is a question of technicalities and (perhaps only if you're a US citizen, perhaps not), whether or not the authorities in question are willing to take it to trial and prove that you "lied".

If you removed a key header which is crucial to the operation of your device in the airport, then the question is whether you can legally say, "my laptop broke in the airport," even if it was you who deliberately broke it.

This also covers the case of the question, "Does this device contain personal data?" To which you can truthfully answer, "Yes."

The point, in my original scenario also is not to lie, but to simply avoid being able to provide access under duress.
I work in renewables, and I encourage this community to not to ridicule people in Wyoming for their very clear majority choice. In their point of view, they are making the best choice for their interests, so calling them stupid only deepens their resolve.

If you want renewables in Wyoming, there are four options (in order from most effective to least):

(a) Move to Wyoming and outvote the existing population (it's not crowded, so it wouldn't take much).

(b) Donate money and time on marketing, education, and advocacy campaigns to try and convince people in Wyoming to your point of view (somewhat difficult to do as an outsider, but not impossible).

(c) Boycott fossil fuels from Wyoming (very difficult since they self consume a lot).

(d) Wait for the existing generation to die and hope the next generation makes decisions in your favor.

Currently, it sounds like HN has settled on option (d), but if your really want change, (a) and (b) are the things that work the best.
I'm the author of OP's post. Can you provide me more information about this? I've always wondered if that was the case, but I was once given a lengthy interview in the Amsterdam airport on my way to DEFCON last year, which gave the opposite impression.
With that logic all taxes and social policies are theft.
Super good article/tutorial, but I think to get the app binary, he could just have downloaded it in iTunes in his computer and unpack the .ipa file (which is basically a signed .zip file, if I remember correctly). The binary should be in it.
Meanwhile China is shutting down coal plants.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/26/business/energy-environme...

I know that Utah coal is exported to China since it gets shipped by rail to Port of Stockton. A local developer was trying to build a coal terminal in Oakland (Oakland Army Base which is basically attached to the Port of Oakland) but the city (mayor+sups) wisely shut that down. It is insanely stupid to have a coal terminal upwind of a populated area.
Disagree. I've tried some really bad ideas that rightfully died very quickly. The world doesn't need more junk that no one needs or wants, whether that be plastic or digital.
Almost everyone here seems to be discussing the economic challenges of UBI, but so far I haven't seen much mention of the political challenges. UBI is a completely unworkable concept in the U.S.A and likely many European countries as well. American citizens will be literally shooting eachother in the streets before they accept such a massive wealth redistribution mechanism, and that resistance will be mostly made up of the masses that could benefit from it, to say nothing of the powerful that will leverage the full extent of their influence to prevent their gains from being redistributed.
This account has been using this site primarily for political or ideological purposes, and that's not what it's for. Please don't continue on like this.
> 1) Americans currently consume (not necessarily eat) 3800 kcals/day of food without basic income. Are you saying that basic income will make that number go up?

I think they were referring to the cost of food, not the calories.
Logical fallacy. Solar panels are not the only form of renewable that are hurt by this rent-seeking legislation.

And I honestly don't even care if solar panels are created elsewhere for cheaper than market rates. That means the utility would be able to supply Wyoming energy subsidized by Chinese tax payers. Eventually China will have to deal with their own tax deficits. They have already started to cancel coal power plant projects[1].

I know formal education often gets a lot of criticism around HN, but I think the approach the article is talking about is heavily mirrored in most university computer science curriculums.

Universities tend to focus on paradigms and patterns, and typically force a student to learn at least 3 languages throughout their education (much more if they want to). Just in my undergrad I learned C, C++, C#, Objective C, Swift, assembler, Java, Go, Javascript, Python, and Haskell. My personal experience is that university grads are much better at adapting to new languages than someone with 4 years experience in only a single language.

That's of course not to say you can't do the exact same sort of education without going to school (and probably in less time).
I thought algae was far more efficient than plants?
Such a statement is only meaningful if the rules and systems that distribute wealth are sufficiently orderly and broadly considered fair. In a system considered to be significantly arbitrary or rigged, the whole concept of ownership is seriously weakened.
The problem with plants is that they do not sequester CO2 permanently; plants grow, die, and decompose, releasing carbon back into the atmosphere. Trees certainly work as a buffer in the sense that carbon in plants is carbon not in the atmosphere, but the amount you could hold is tiny in comparison to the amount that must be sequestered back in order to make a meaningful change in atmospheric and oceanic CO2 composition.

Nonetheless, plants have important benefits, since they alter the local climate by changing the albedo and perspirating. Perspiration of plants in jungles helps to create clouds and regulate humidity, and would help to counteract some of the negative effects of climate change.

Porsche sports car owner here. I don't need to drive daily, but when I do, that's what's used.

People who have sports cars tend to have a second (or third or fourth) car because they have the funds available to afford being able to have other options available. Some Porsche sports cars are tremendous daily drivers -- a 911 Turbo is simultaneously a race car, a Toyota Camry, a snowmobile and a Bentley.

Sold Porsches in a former life. Third car was most typical, with it only being used for pleasure and special occasions. 911s were usually used most often as daily drivers, as opposed to the mid-engine cars, even though the MR layout cars have more cargo space (10 or 15 cubic feet). I'm a very rare breed, considering I live in New England and mine doesn't even have a proper roof (manual "procedure" to remove/install instead of a single button, and is always driven top down, regardless of weather).
The ESP32 also uses an Xtensa, the LX6, which should have the same basic instruction encoding, etc (and I think they both use FreeRTOS, as well, but I only have an ESP32). Probably shouldn't be too hard. You can also stuff more functionality into it, too.[1]

[1] Related: I can't actually even find the documentation on what's precisely changed between the LX6 (ESP32) and the LX106 (ESP8266), other than the basics on the datasheets - I don't know of any documentation on e.g. any different architectural details. Maybe you have to ask Espressif. Or Cadence. Anyone have any idea?
Plants don't usually store CO2 long term. You have to do something with them after they grow, or else they decompose and put the CO2 right back into the air.
Ok, let's spell it out with a basic example

You said we are going to give $12 billion to the poor

There is $747 billion of credit card debt in the United States. Much of that comes from lending in the past to the poor to finance their basic needs.

$747 billion > $12 billion

It is possible that all of 1 year's basic income entirely goes toward paying off credit card debt. In this scenario:

1) The poor receive a much needed benefit from basic income: they get to pay off their credit card bills.

2) There is no change in demand on basic goods whatsoever.

3) This significant paying down of debt leads to consumer interest rates going down, which further helps the poor.

So here is one scenario that is a counterexample to your claim that this can "any other change hurts the poor". This is an example which helps the poor.

You are forgetting that people have the freedom to do what they want with their money. When prices go up for one thing, they spend their money in other ways.

Healthy ways for prices to change:

1) The price change is stable, rather than runaway. It happens once, and that's it, but we continue to pay basic income year after year. This is expected, if we keep the money supply fixed.

2) The price change eventually leads to an increase in wages for the poor, which have been stagnant for decades.
Ask HN: How do you make software engineering recruiting better?
We pull almost all of the CO2 we burn from coal and oil, which were basically underground carbon reserves. To replace all of that CO2 with plant matter would take an immense amount of nutrients, which have to come from somewhere. Then there's the chance that the plant matter will turn to coal or oil again, meaning it may be used again. By turning the CO2 directly into carbonate, you both remove the need for nutrients and turn the CO2 into a form that is both incredibly stable and not useful for any energy purposes, lessening the chance that it will make its way back into the atmosphere.
