Unlinking nicks from your real identity is fine, but for example the user I'm using is fairly verifiable not to be a government account. There's way too much effort and original content in my account. Or if I'm a government bot (it's still possible), I'm a very expensive one that wouldn't scale because of all the on-topic original content that's required.

As for harassment: no, that was never my intention.
It's complicated, but here are some overall ideas.

Islamism has a view of human nature as basically evil and sinful, and believes that people can be moral only if guided by religion. The same goes for other fundamentalist religious views.

Fascism has a basically tribalistic view of human nature. We are good if we belong to the right racial tribe, bad if we belong to any other one. People are incapable of guiding their lives unless lead by a powerful leader, and they love warfare.

Marxism has an idealistic view of human nature as naturally peaceful and cooperative. However, authoritarian communism as actually practiced in the Soviet Union or Mao's China implicitly assumes human beings are naturally irrational and selfish, and need a powerful regime to force them to be good citizens.

Liberalism has a more mixed view of human nature. Humans are seen as having a variety of motivations, some self-oriented, others more concerned with the well-being of others. They are capable of being rational or irrational, depending on the circumstances, and ditto whether they behave in a cooperative or win-lose manner. Human nature is designed for life in small foraging bands, as described by the evolutionary psychologist.

Let me add, liberalism explains human nature as the product of natural forces, as described by various sciences. The other philosophies at least implicitly assume it was created by supernatural forces.
Thanks! It's always good to be able to know when absolutes should be avoided (as they so often are).
It's crazy that there wasn't a mechanical override to exit. I'd think that would be required by fire code in the US.

>Or couldn't you just disconnect it from the net and secure local access?

There are lots of ways this could work without internet access, and "secure local access" is easier said than done for a network which must extend through spaces where random people off the street have access and privacy.

Electronic physical security vendors are not exactly shining beacons of top-notch security engineering. Researchers have found extremely careless, serious vulnerabilities in systems such as HID iClass [0] and your average hotel is probably using something much less sophisticated.

Denial of service is probably much easier than unauthorized entry, and unauthorized entry isn't exactly hard.

Dear Author,

Your explanation of the Ubuntu Touch solution saddened me. I know the OS has improved a lot since this article was written, but I still don't think there is a 4G LTE option.

I therefore recommend BlackBerry 10 as a mobile OS for serious "users." Root is locked down, but the brilliant community has devised ways to install GCC and other software development tools, so you really can write, compile, and execute applications on your mobile. I use Helium Code Editor, Term48 terminal emulator, and you can google how to compile and install GCC on BB10. It also comes with a Python 3.2 interpreter.

Interesting read. Also seems like a subtle jab at Microsoft and Apple when they said, "We're happy to have such a good working relationship with our friends on the Chrome and Firefox teams." Conditional requests were actually higher on IE and Safari than Firefox, so chances are they tried to engage with those teams but were shut down?
As a Muslim, I'm quite appalled by the nonchalant reaction on HN, so I'm just going to downvote and continue following the news.
It's extremely important. The Republican coalition has had outreach programs for years set up to generate floods of calls; my senator, Dick Durbin, had to shut his phones off because of one such effort to push through pro-Israel legislation.

A large number of Democrats have voted to confirm John Kelly, the anti-immigration former general who will now run DHS and enforce Trump's Muslim ban. Almost all of the Democrats supported Mattis for DOJ, because he appears to be the sanest member of the administration's team. A decent sized number even supported Pompeo, a Muslim-alarmist, for CIA.

Coming up soon is Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III for Attorney General. Sessions is by many accounts an unreconstructed white supremacist. But Democrats will support him, because he's also a member of the Senate, and collegiality goes a very long way in the Senate.

Unless the Democratic coalition makes it clear to their representatives that we are holding them accountable for their votes to give consent for confirmation votes, and for their actual confirmation votes, the Democrats will act "strategically", holding back resistance until they're absolutely required to offer it. It doesn't help that the Republican party is almost uniformly conservative and extremely white, while the Democratic party is a coalition of interests that leans but is not firmly planted in liberal tradition.

Even if you're in a liberal state. You have to call. Social media doesn't count. It's very easy to do and if enough people do it, it does make a difference. It's like voting, except that your calls have more influence than your votes.

I cannot recommend highly enough the Indivisible Guide, which is the outcome of a bunch of legislative staffers attempting to reverse-engineer the Tea Party's process from the last 8 years and apply them to Democratic objectives:

Any introductory text on SISO (single input/single output) control theory will be a good start, since the same underlying tools are used for signal processing as well as active control systems. The Wikibook on control systems is OK, and will at least get you a feel for some of the mathematics. Modern Control Systems by Dorf and Bishop is a great SISO textbook. Modern Control Theory by Brogan is a great MIMO (multi-input/multi-output) text, too.

For just noodling and doodling around, the functions 'tf', 'ss', 'bode', 'freqz', 'butter', 'tf2sos', 'besself', and 'c2d' are a decent start.

https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/filters/filters.html and http://dspguide.com/ are great online references for digital signal processing, and you'll find that many of the underlying mathematical tools for discrete-time analysis carry over into the continuous domain, too.
It's very simple: make it socially unacceptable to promote the ethnic cleansing of a religion comprised of nearly a billion people, 99.999% of whom are decent, peaceful people who share the same types of dreams, goals and values as the rest of us.

This wouldn't be the first time we've had to confront bigots who want to eliminate entire groups of people because they have a different skin color or pray to a different sky-man. And we didn't get rid of them by playing nice or trying to split the difference.

Rather, whether we're talking about slave-owners in the 1860s or fasicists the 40s, we've faced this menace before and stamped them out the promotors of hate and division. And we will do it again.

You are responsible, as programmer or script writer, to ensure that the data you give to some tool is compatible!

But notice also that the pipe is not the only IPC mechanism available on unix; there are a lot of other ways unix processes can communicate, from shared memory to external files, thru pipes, sockets, semaphores, signals and others. Each of these IPC mechanisms can be used to compose tools, as long as they are designed to use those mechanisms. In all cases, you need to document the specifications of the interfaces and data format.
A couple of tips (these only apply to the SF Bay Area):

1) Unless you can afford a $1.5M US house, don't bother thinking you can just sweep in and buy a home within a month. The competition is way too fierce these days. It will probably take you about 1 year unless you're very rich already. Since you have a daughter, you need to figure out if you want to live in a cheaper area, far away from your work with a long commute, and send her to private school, or live closer to work, and pay an exorbitant amount, and probably still pay for private school.

I suggest paying the exorbitant rent for 6 months or a year, in a place close to work so that you familiarize yourself with the area, and then start the search to buy a place.

2) $30k sounds like a very generous relocation package. I think your expectations as to what it will cover are way too much. Things like multiple airfares and real estate broker fees sound like you have a sense of entitlement. Those shouldn't be covered in my opinion, those are the cost of leaving your home.
You mean the guy who, exactly a week ago, said that maybe the USA will have another chance to "keep the oil" from Iraq?

Here's the quote from his speech at CIA:

"We don’t win anymore. The old expression, “to the victor belong the spoils” -- you remember. I always used to say, keep the oil. I wasn’t a fan of Iraq. I didn’t want to go into Iraq. But I will tell you, when we were in, we got out wrong. And I always said, in addition to that, keep the oil. Now, I said it for economic reasons. But if you think about it, Mike, if we kept the oil you probably wouldn’t have ISIS because that’s where they made their money in the first place. So we should have kept the oil. But okay. (Laughter.) Maybe you’ll have another chance. But the fact is, should have kept the oil. " [1]

Claiming that Trump is against interventionism is just you projecting your own wishes and hopes onto the blank canvas of his mind.

I suspect younger programmers can't even begin to imagine what it was like. I learned to program on the Commodore 64. The default language was (Microsoft) Basic. Line numbers. Only flow control IF, GOTO, and GOSUB/RETURN. No loops, no ability to write functions, nothing like a define or a macro.

And then I got my hands on a Forth. Functions. Control structures. Maybe they weren't fancy by modern standards, but they were easily an order of magnitude better than Basic's, and you had the ability to write new ones fairly easily. Quick compiles, code which was both small and fast. Easy inline assembly code for when you needed even more speed. It was a dream come true.

> I would suggest the people in the article cannot "maintain" a computer.

That's definitely too restrictive of a description.

Laypeople don't tell their mechanic "the car won't work". They say that it won't start, or that a tire is flat or a headlight is burned out or that the check engine light is on or that it's making an unusual sound under certain circumstances. Even if they don't have any skill as a mechanic, you usually get at least a specific identification of the symptom relative to the expected behavior. And while you're not expected to perform all the maintenance, you are expected to be able to read and understand the basics from the owner's manual and apply that knowledge.

But the average technically illiterate user has even shallower mental models for their computer than for their car, and is disinclined to attempt any amount of diagnosis.
Finish that degree! Maybe work part time. Whatever it takes.
I'd say Elixir is the sharper tool. It cuts better - and I don't mean the syntax, but the macros - which can be a bad thing if you slice yourself by mistake.

Erlang, with its small and hard to extend syntax, its libraries, frameworks, and conventions, is geared towards stability. Erlang is meant for creating reliable systems, which will be maintained for decades. Erlang is the most conservative (in the sense Steve Yegge's post) of dynamic languages out there: it's verbose, predictable, boring, consistent, reliable and focused solely on fault-tolerance (ie. long term stability).

Elixir tries to be a less conservative Erlang, but also good enough scripting and general purpose programming language. It's not a drastic change in capabilities, but rather re-focusing the language a bit to be more friendly to abstraction and extension. Elixir delivers on its promises magnificently: for my latest project, where I need the most expressive language I can get, I considered Elixir among such languages as Smalltalk, Io, Common Lisp, and Lua.

So it's more than just syntactic preferences, but the two languages remain very closely related. Elixir functions are Erlang functions, you can use Elixir modules from Erlang just fine and so on. Erlang is a simpler language, so my advice is to start learning Elixir and you'll learn Erlang when reading articles about its libraries that you want to use.
You do realize this sort of behavior doesn't grow in a vacuum right? In a relationship it takes two to tango, unless dealing with someone mentally ill. To claim that say 10 million voters who hold resentment against the left for what they perceive as hostile bias are all mentally ill is grossly unfair.

Conservative resentment against what they perceive as liberal intolerance has been going on since at least the early 2000s. The conservative blogosphere really took off around that time. There they either endured constant ridicule for their views or total ignoring from the established media which mostly runs liberal aside from Fox News. When they broke the story on Dan Rather and the faked National Guard memo on Bush, they were instantly derided for being nothing but people blogging in their pajamas. When they were proven true, the hostile indifference never let up. This has gone on for 15 years or so now. For them, this last election to them was the last straw. The coverage that went on during the 2016 elections was deeply shameful and outright scurrilous in some areas.

Keep in mind that during the 2000s and probably about until 2008 or so, the internet community sites were mostly dominated by liberal views. Reddit for instance looked vastly different compared to now. This allowed the formation of deep and entrenched echo chambers that allowed certain behaviors to foment and become acceptable. When conservatives began to join the internet en masse, they ran up against these entrenched social communities and quickly found that they were getting shut out. Rightly or wrongly, that kind of blanket treatment will cause resentment.

Vast swaths of people on the left have been dismissive of people on the right for ages. This is not a one sided issue, of course conservatives do the same. But that does not matter. We got here because everyone started talking past each other, insulting each other, and not doing the hard work of emphasizing irregardless of our agreement or not. Emotional labor matters and we've all dropped the ball hard. Conservatives are not monolithic and people always appreciate feeling listened to and that their concerns matter. You don't have to agree with someone to do this.

When we want to fix a relationship with our partners we don't concern ourselves with who was right or wrong. We concentrate on the relationship itself.
Yes, they care more about the places with more voters and more taxpayers. Those counties mentioned in the article are experiencing net losses in population, even as the state grows.

It is not in their best interest to separate themselves from the economic powerhouses of SF and LA.
It's probably mild hyperventilation.

Your urge to breathe comes from the CO2 content of your blood; by breathing heavily you deplete your blood CO2, so your blood can absorb more from your metabolism before the acidity goes up enough that you feel compelled to breathe again.

It's a design flaw that your urge to breathe is connected to CO2 saturation and not oxygen saturation (the thing you really need); evolution has kind of assumed that the two will be inversely related. That bogus assumption can lead to the "shallow water blackout" scenario a few other sibling comments are describing.

We should 100% allow them to go. Let's move the capital to SF or LA which makes way more sense. As far as water goes, a new nuke plant on the coast to do desalinization. Hum, this idea all works until the nuke plant as those left in CA will scream at the idea because despite all their professed education they still refused to except science when it goes against their "religious" belief (nuclear being the equivalent of Satan.)

Maybe we should break up into even more parts, where there is a state made up of only the startup tech engineering areas. Self driving cars and hyperloop here we come! Heck, maybe we could get a space elevator. We have to carve a path down to LA to encircle SpaceX.

Hint: some of this is sarcastic, up to you to figure out which parts.

Cities in the US seem particularly polarized. Where I grew up there were neighborhoods with better off and worse off people but there wasn't any part of town where you would feel uncomfortable or at risk of violence walking at any time, day or night. I visited Chicago in the early 90's and I remember being told never to go past a certain stop on the train. The US has serious social problems going back a long time and I'm not sure trying to pretend otherwise will help in solving them.

Parent comment also is only referring to low-wage jobs so I suppose the entire H1B thing is irrelevant to the discussion. Not sure what you're looking for... you asked for a source - seems clear that yes, wages for some groups are "artificially suppressed" by "uncontrolled immigration". Is immigration uncontrolled? Yes immigration is not 100% controlled, hence illegal immigrants are a thing. I suppose you could argue that wages are suppressed "naturally" because of uncontrolled immigration if you want to argue about semantics in order to ignore the research that does show wages are suppressed.
Yeah, Altman is a hypocrite. Zero respect for this guy. "Let's ban certain types of speech unless it's from me, of course."
They are not humans because they are not fertilized eggs. Unfertilized eggs are haploid, not diploid, meaning they are unpaired chromosomes (am ignoring X and Y). It also means they could not produce a living human... too many problems owing to the missing second chromosome in each pair. Is like having 25,000 gene deletions!

Some animals have a phenomenon called parthenogenesis which allows an unfertilized egg to develop into a living organism. This does not naturally happen in humans. (And I doubt it happens unnaturally.)
