It's wonderful to witness the fall of these rotting "industries". It's taken way too long.

Being required to organize my time around some TV channel's programming just isn't good service. Internet-based services like Netflix have no such requirements. Yet these aging TV companies are still relevant to me just because they have exclusive rights to the series I like and won't let Netflix have them.

Why do I have to go to the cinema just to watch a new movie? To me it's not that good an experience. I'm basically paying more than a single month's worth of Netflix to watch a single movie on worn out and uncomfortable seats in a crowded theater with half an hour of irrelevant ads before the film actually starts. My only other choice is waiting months until it finally arrives on TV, only appearing on Netflix much later if at all.

Even when they do arrive, it's significantly delayed just because I'm not American. It's beyond irritating to discover I can't view something on Netflix or even YouTube just because I'm not in the US. Maybe it's due to some copyright issue I'm supposed to care about.

This "industry" treats me like a third rate customer and acts as if I was lucky to get whatever scraps of stale content they decided to make available. In reality, most of the movies and series they release aren't that good. Given enough convenience I'd watch them but as it is now it costs way too much in terms of money, time and dignity. The only relatively new movie I'd actually pay to see again in theaters is Mad Max: Fury Road.

Is it any wonder people pirate stuff? Pirates consistently provide much better service with much lower operational costs. If anything, they're the state of the art.

I am very sympathetic to the idea, but the reason the "Show HN" and "Ask HN" sections are valuable is that these posts are overwhelemed in the main view, rather than vice-versa.

An explicit "Politics" section even if excluded from the main feed or included with a large penalty (Like "Jobs") would probably suck the air out of the rest of the site.

A better option might be a separate politics-oriented site, perhaps hosted by a nonpartisan policy-recommending organization (in itself a tall order).

>It is contradiction with the original meaning and purpose of the whole endeavor - the search for ultimate reality, of what is.

Only assuming reality is rational. Which is a pre-conceived notion -- and that's even more in contradiction with the original meaning and purpose of the whole endeavor.

Though, even scientists can get it wrong (e.g. "God doesn't play dice", when apparently, she does).
Cron itself is a system service and is not something I'd hope you would need to run under supervisord.

Some of the challenges that I mentioned, though, are not just arranging the configuration that you want to have on the machine (whether cron or supervisord configuration), but getting the configuration onto the machine and ensuring it stays up and working long term. When looking at the problem with a long time horizon and larger system context, one expects any machine to fail and need to be replaced, so handling that is important. With this perspective, it doesn't matter how reliable your process supervisor is: the code can be written perfectly and the application will still fail to do its job if the machine it's running on halts! I don't want to have to care if my machines suffer a hardware failure; I just want a replacement to be brought online seamlessly.

Sometimes in cases like this, one needs a whole lot of infrastructure to solve what feels like it ought to be a simple problem. In larger system contexts it can be quite inconvenient to invoke the full complexity needed for reliable servers just to run a job periodically.

Once you start to tie the satisfaction of any business requirement to the successful completion of a cron job, lots of problems crop up. Even after you set that configuration up, there are still tricky issues to consider like: what if the host running the cron job fails at just the wrong time, like at 11:59 when the job starts at 12:00? Is it possible the job might not run at all today even if the host is replaced promptly? Is that OK, and if not what do we do about it?

If you have many different cron jobs with slightly different security contexts and permission, then do you launch a separate machine for each one? Do you set them up to share the same server? How will you know if, a few years from now, that server doesn't have enough power to run all the jobs fast enough? Will you notice if it's gradually slowing down? These are some of the issues I'd consider if I was tackling a business problem that required doing something on a regular schedule.

Serverless-style infrastructure takes away a lot of these concerns. There's nothing to host or maintain yourself; no servers needed at all: just the definition of the code you want to run, how frequently you want to run it, and what resources (if any) it needs access to. A serverless task that runs once today will continue to run indefinitely, and it doesn't cost more to set up than the naive crontab approach.

I find it hilarious how some people here are directing vitriol at VW because of emissions while it is perfectly acceptable, particularly in the US, to drive ridiculously oversized trucks.

This is a tech community, we aren't supposed to deal with politics.

Here is a tip: whenever you feel overly sensitive about something in politics, ask yourself the question: why did this happen? how did we get here? and look up people who have an opinion opposite to yours, not just the ones who feel like you.

I remember when Facebook announced the acquisition of Parse. I was talking to some devs who really like Parse. They were pretty down about the news. The comment that really struck me was, "Now that Facebook bought them, I don't trust Parse anymore." A lot of devs seemed to sour on Parse, but Facebook seemed to push back by seeming to say that Parse was going to be around for a long time. Well, that was interesting.

Learn about Test Driven Development (TDD)
If capitalism (and more merely wanting to make a profit when you can) was so great fit for human nature, one has to wonder why people were forced out of their villages, beaten, trained, enslaved in colonies, and policed, to adopt it in any large numbers. Compared to these processes, Stalin was a small-time crook.

Humans have lived and thrived without capitalist economies and with other priorities (from moral to religious and to civic duty) presiding over markets and profit for millennia.

The mere presence of commerce is not the same as capitalism (whose start is estimated at the 15th or 16th century, and it's total, often cancerous, spread over traditional communities in the 20th century).
See above: Green Cards confer full protection of law, including entry, to the extend of rights afforded to citizens. The exceptions are limited to people committing crimes or leaving the US for prolonged times. That is an exhaustive list (other laws include a generic clause like "and as deemed necessary by the Department of...").

EO cannot break laws, only modify their implementation. There is no room for interpretation. You could argue that the right of entry is not in the constitution – but I'm pretty sure even Scalia would have found a way to argue that US citizens have constitutional right to entry into the US (It's probably not in the bill of rights because it's too obvious)

See also the Watergate precedent: the AG refused to fire the special prosecutor investigating Nixon, in defiance of a direct order by the President. His replacement also refused and was fired, only the third in line complied. Those sacrifices went a long way to create the political climate in which the (now universally recognised as such) crook Nixon had no choice but to resign.

I'm curious about how taxi drivers are viewed in the US or this specific region. In Turkey, they're mostly hated, because they will go to any length to extort money out of the customers. This ranges from picking longer roads if they detect that the customer doesn't know the area well to asking for 500 euros to even pick them up after terrorist attacks. So, Uber was seen as the savior as their drivers wouldn't try to do any of this and were generally nicer in people's experience (it really doesn't take much to be nicer than a taxi driver here).
I thought the union (not the individual taxis) called for the work stoppage.

Perhaps we can call it both a strike and a political protest.

There doesn't seem to have been any way for Uber to avoid (being perceived as) taking sides, but how am I taking sides?
That sounds a little like "The Principle of Mediocrity" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediocrity_principle)

If so, think you're selling humans a bit short. Our capacity isn't really all that limited. As long as we are able to continuously apply new information to gain better insights into reality, we will improve. Maybe we are woefully behind other some other beings out there, but that doesn't mean we'll never get there. Our capacity for exceeding our physical limitations (ex, we can detect neutrinos despite having no ways to see them through evolutionary abilities) and create new physical realities (the coldest known temperature measured is not somewhere else in the universe, it's in a physicist's lab) shows that we are still on a path towards understanding so much more than we do today.
> The emissions scandal should have ended VW.

The question is who such a punishment would have been directed towards. A few decisonmakers make something illegal, and the punishment is given to a hundred thousand employees, not to mention the owners of the cars without emissions cheating (most)?

This is the problem with megacorporations. Punishing them proportionally to the damage they make is unfair, because you are mostly punishing employees and consumers who knew nothing about the wrongdoing. Consequences need to be strong enough to be a deterrent but weak enough to not kill a large employer. That's nearly impossible.

Perhaps the most reasonable thing to do, as has been argued with banks, is to simply not allow megacorps to form, that is, no organization should be to big to fail because we want to allow the bad ones to fail.
And they do -- you acquire the taxi driver certification ("this guy has good eyesight, isn't a criminal, knows the taxi rules") independently of the medallion ("no more than N cabs may be operating at any given time"). The two regs accomplish different purposes.

As the parent notes, in certain setups (like cap and trade) the tradeability of the license is important for ensuring that the restricted resource is used efficiently: the most economical emitters of carbon get the rights, and the most economical drivers get the medallions.
They all seem to have re-started their consulting activites. Not sure what makes it different this time.

I think the separation between HN and politics is intentional. In fact, not too long ago they strictly banned any political submissions for a week (although they cancelled it early because nobody could agree on the definition of political).

I think your best bet in the short term is to create a custom subreddit, invite a bunch of people from HN, and see how that goes. Since you have the early momentum from the audience you want you can set up the mods early and set the tone for the future. Later on you can create your own website if reddit becomes problematic.

To be clear, Uber did not break the strike. Uber drivers, who apparently did not feel compelled to take part in the strike, broke it. Strikes are not composed of companies, they are composed of workers. Would you expect Uber to have refused to let its drivers operate (against their will) during the taxi strike? That's absurd on its face.
Depends on your requirements, but I dare to say there is none.
Matt Levine commented on how Thiel's observation has worked out so far [1]:

> And what has happened so far? Immigration bans (with more to come), abandoned trade agreements, "alternative facts," unprompted promises to bring back torture. And what has not happened so far? Tax policy is a complete mystery, with an unclear and walked-back promise to impose a border tax. Health-care policy is even more mysterious. Trump has made vague promises to cut regulations by 75 percent, but his specific regulatory focus seems to be on increasing penalties on companies that move operations abroad. Everything Trump literally said is coming literally true; everything the serious people heard remains an unserious hope. Businesses may eventually get the tax and regulatory reform they wanted, but it's not a priority.

In 1995 I was creating a layout engine for a UI manager (personal project). It was simpler to use and I had better primitives. Had I known then that in 2017 we will still discuss about layouts, I would have face palmed so hard.

In my opinion CSS's worst sin is that it does not include basic experience from other programming languages: variables and name scoping. It's a minefield of namespace collisions and superfluous repetitions.

I've made a few career changes so maybe some insight. I've went from developer to creative producer to enterprise architect to now AI. For the most part they wont hire you because they don't believe your skills transfer. So to get the job you want you need to do the job. The best way to do this is to talk, network, share, speak, code in the new industry you want to enter.

Agism, Techism, all the ism's are really an answer to the question: Can you do the job? You need to answer this sufficiently well. I'm sure you can.

As an aside, I started my own AI firm in 2014 because there were no firms doing it.
> No one is going to remember all the packages they need to include each time they start a new project. They're doing what I'm doing; copy paste from the last project, like some holy script scrawled by ancient masters from long ago.

If it hurts, don't do that then - put all your build stuff and devDependencies in a separate module and install it into your next project like any other development dependency, adding new capabilities as you need them and bumping the version number when you need to like any other tool. You can start doing it yourself [1] or use one someone else made earlier [2] - there are an increasing number of these toolkits about.

> But seriously I can't use `<SomeThing onClick={this.handleClick}/>`?

You can do exactly that if you're using React or one of the many libraries which use React-like conventions (Preact, Inferno, Mithril.js etc.), so just use one of them.

> But why do I have to write a cryptic webpack.config.js for every project? Why do I have to install Babel and webpack separately? Why do I need to install 3 other babel related packages? Why do I need a .babelrc? It's just insane. There should just be one tool, one command. "modernjs build". Done.

You don't have to, and there are lots of tools which will take care of this for you (see [2] again). That's the exact same workflow I wanted, so I created it for the types of projects I'm working on [3] - it doesn't take much extra effort to turn your own preferred build setup into a command.
