Sadly, I believe the answer is yes.

Richard B. Spencer is a leading figure in the American Alt-Right (he even created the name). Here's a section from the beginning of his Wikipedia article:

Richard Bertrand Spencer (born May 11, 1978) is a noted American white supremacist. He is president of the National Policy Institute, a white nationalist think tank, and Washington Summit Publishers, an independent publishing firm. Spencer has stated that he rejects the description of white supremacist, and describes himself as an identitarian. He advocates for a white homeland for a "dispossessed white race" and calls for "peaceful ethnic cleansing" to halt the "deconstruction" of European culture.

I'm not sure what a "peaceful ethnic cleansing" would look like, and I don't think I want to find out.
Exactly right, thank you for pointing this out.

Also we have to separate assessments of irrational paranoia into pre-Snowden and post-Snowden realities. The lens through which we now view these things is fundamentally different.
Thanks, that makes sense
I think the whole department should be shuttered forthwith. It was a bad idea in 2001, it's always been a horrible imposition and fraud on the public, and if anything it's even worse now that Comb-over Donnie is in charge.

Awareness is constructive. Hearing views from abroad is constructive. There are voices here from tech workers in Scandinavia that I couldn't find in traditional news outlets.

HN is poorer if it focuses on tech only and not on how society is influenced. Probably I should post some on Feynman's writing on this topic.

Seconding your instrumentation post, I always have a very hard time when I need to buy a new tool, a simple up-to-date guide would be super helpful.
The offenders were mostly from northern Africa (so not from Syria, where most immigrants in 2015 came from). That Washington Post article is clearly biased. Better read the source article: http://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/uebergriffe-in-koeln-frau...
I guess they've painted themselves into a bit of a corner with the way they do their pricing, and product announcements with a lot of hype.

If they were to do the kind of update you suggest, there would be a lot of bad press stating the obvious ("It's just the same as before, but faster and more RAM. No new alloys or anything!"), and it would drive down prices for inventory of the old model.
These people have sacrificed more for our country than most Americans. They are some of the most patriotic people you'll ever meet, because they know how horrible other governments can be and they have worked incredibly hard to get to America, unlike native born Americans. Calling them cheaters for helping us kill terrorists is comical. They are heroes.

Nothing wrong with that. I'm sure there are many other companies like yours. I doubt that many profitable companies will abandon iOS development just because Mac hardware is a bit dusted or a bit overpriced at this point.

But where is the excitement? Where are the growth opportunities? Where's the space for experimentation? Where are things moving?

Once all the wealthy people on this planet have their iPhones and their six favorite apps in their six home screen rows, all extremely vetted by Apple, the market is saturated and stagnant.

You can't skate where the puck is going to be because the puck has come to a complete stop and all players are sitting on top of it.

I'm a Mac, iPhone and iPad user. But would I ever build a _new_ company on that platform. No. Definitely not.

I expect people to be able to connect devices, since the ports are labeled and shape matched. (And often color coded, too.)

I expect people to be able to perform slightly-nontrivial Google searches ('site:' and similar tags; Boolean operators).

I expect people to have the equivalent of "electrons flow in copper" (electricity) or "explosions push the pistons" (ICEs) level of understanding of what's in a computer and what it does, what the internet is and how traffic flows across it.

Now, the reasons some of these don't happen is poor teaching materials, but I think we need to get to that point -- where everyone knows at least those things -- before we can sanely discuss technology as a society. Democracy will break down -- is breaking down -- because most of the electorate refuses to know even the basics of one of the major social forces.
Node.js would not replace Apache in that stack, it would replace Python (flask).

Apache is for static content and to act as an HTTP proxy for managing connections.

You can, and should, put Apache (or Nginx) in front of a Node.js web service.
Wow... Apparently I shouldn't post before coffee. That second sentence went completely off the rails there.
Nice that you have a connection to get your foot in the door at your Dad's plant. Customer #1.

The path I would recommend to learn full stack development.

Go through the books Head First HTML and CSS (get an inexpensive hosting account you can FTP files to and setup some domains, point to your hosting), next go through Head First PHP and mySQL. Next is Headfirst Javascript then Headfirst jQuery.

After those you should sign up for teamtreehouse.com.

You could play around with developing this in PHP without a framework, setting up a login in system you would learn a lot. Sometimes frameworks are tough to understand what all the magic is happening behind the scenes if you haven't creating a simple app with login, etc in vanilla PHP on your own. For your customer version though you will want to use a framework, more secure, better organized code, etc.

I would recommend developing this with Laravel(PHP) it has a great community so you'll be able to find great learning resources to get started. (Rails is good too, but I think Laravel will be easier to get started/deploy your app)

Also I recommend developing on a mac. Windows always seems to have obscure issues that you will waste hours/days on.

laracasts.com will get you started with Laravel.

There are great deployment tools forge and envoyer. Hosting on Digital Ocean is perfect for most apps, AWS and linode too)

Use stripe for billing.

There is a SaaS add-on to the framework call Spark. It's ok but, I find I'd rather roll my own stripe/SaaS integration.

Also Spark does use Vue.js though so since you're just learning I would stick with developing the app using jquery for ajax interactions and think about moving up to vue in the future.

I would create the MVP as a web application for all the interactions. Then once you have that established you can look at adding true android and iOS apps. Those might be better to hire out the development of. Or a future learning project.

You should be able to set everything up as a mobile web application, use the bootstrap framework for the look and feel of your app. There are some ready made admin templates that can get you something similar to baremetrics.

Having your Dad's plant as an initial user for your app will be great to refine what they need get their feedback.

Good luck. Follow up and let us know how it's going.
Can you send me an email? I'm working on something for this and would love your feedback. It's private, by invitation only for now.
I've quit my job twice now to make huge Overland trips (AK->Argentina, now around Africa for two years), all funded by saving money. The tips in this article are good, though I would go much, much further.

My biggest advice is not to think in terms of dollars when looking at a price tag - think in terms of the number of hours of your life you are spending to purchase something. Once you calculate your "real" salary (taking into account taxes, commute expenses, etc. etc.) it turns out you have to sit at work for a LOT of hours to afford a big screen TV. All of a sudden it's not so attractive, and it's easy to not buy one.

Extend that across all spending, and soon you really won't be spending much at all.

I'm so passionate about helping other people do it I even write an e-book on the topic - Work Less to Live Your Dreams[1]

The Mac community has done a great job feeding lies to Mac users! There are no "DOS roots" in Windows 10, just as there are no "Apple ][ DOS" roots of Mac OS X.

We switched back 100% to Windows after Windows 10 came out--we needed NVIDIA and lots of RAM (256GB) for the programming we do -- and have had no trouble. And we have beautiful glass cube workstations (Lian Li) and 100% stable machines that never crash, hang, or act weird.

Sure.

But according to some crummy philosophy, time as phenomena does not exist, because it requires an observer.

The simplest example would be how life (at the level of molecular biology, proteins) uses only pattern-matching but no counting, binding-sites and concentration-based regulations, but no counters. Never. Because a counting requires an observer. But molecular biology precedes any consciousness, so, no counting or numbers. Only pattern matching of physical shapes, compound structures. (Precedes here means that in a whole process of evolution of life it some patterns emerged prior to others).

Same holds for time. The notion of time, like counting, requires a consciousness. Like any other abstraction.

But, of course, who studies philosophy in the age of hipsters? So lets ask a much simpler question: what exactly replicable experiment proves the existence of time as an independent phenomena (independent of any physical process, the phenomena-in-itself), so any goddamn crystals could exist?

Is this a slippery-slope argument? "You might not mind five bikes parked on your block; what about a THOUSAND?" Five shared bikes on a block would probably remove at least a couple of automobiles from the block, on average, so I'm all for it! Presumably cars would disappear entirely well before we got to a thousand shared bikes, so if we stopped then we'd be fine...

As a European I don't underdtand why people are actually using credit cards.

That is still pretty awful imo - think quite a few of the people considering Elixir and Phoenix are doing so explicitly to get away from having to Node.js close to their computers in the first place.
Can someone here explain why Apple seems to be the only company that builds small stuff with an integrated power supply?

What's the point in making something small, when you need a huge power brick to power it?

It's a shame that Apple's stuff is outdated, but it's just so much nicer when you look at the details.
Not to mention that Rust is not interactive and doesn't allow for dynamic, incremental development. Forth brings the rapid, extremely tight feedback loop one sees in Lisp or Smalltalk to hardware.

Comparing it to Rust is missing this point entirely. Finally, let's not forget that Forth has been empirically validated multiple times in this domain (e.g. NASA has used Forth on board satellites and spacecraft).

Rust is entirely unproven in the hardware/microcontroller space (some would say in general), so I tend to view posts like ekidd's ("for more complicated embedded work") as projecting/wishful thinking.
This sounds like science fiction, which really tickles me in a positive way (as in, I am not criticizing it but rather it's highly exciting yet very fantastical compared to where physics was at when I studied it).

Ask HN: Could structuring TOS like a rental agreement have privacy advantages?
This is not a realm I have expertise in so this is maybe a silly question, but warrants and such are to the best of my knowledge required to search rental properties.

Could tech companies increase their ability to protect user data from warrantless subpoenas and such by structuring their terms of service like a residential rental agreement? Or do rental properties have a special status, or would structuring TOS in that way otherwise negatively impact the business?
Apple has stated they think the iPad Pro is the next computer for everyone. I would bet Apple is quite far along making tools for the iPad Pro that let you create apps for the iPad Pro and iPhone. They released a first foray into this kind of tool last year with their Swift Playgrounds, a language they designed to replace old things, using all-new APIs like Metal. The computers we like all stem from what we call Apple's history and legacy!
All that machine learning stuff is pretty much useless against human generated fake profiles, just like captcha is useless against human captcha solvers.

I use a Raspberry Pi 2 as my HTPC. As I only watch my own media on my NAS, it is perfectly adequate. But what is pretty surprising to consider is that this NUC is only about twice as expensive as my complete Raspberry Pi system.

Awareness is constructive. Hearing views from abroad is constructive. There are voices here from tech workers in Scandinavia that I couldn't find in traditional news outlets.

Yes, awareness is constructive. Is there anything in this thread that isn't elsewhere on HN (and likely in spades)?

I'm not at all arguing against being able to discuss constructively how society is influenced. Tech in and of itself may be interesting, but it's ultimately empty if it's not used to benefit society.

That said, the comments in this thread are not people talking to each other to reach any kind of understanding (even if not agreement). Can you point to any three exchanges where that's happening?

Even our exchange, I feel like you've reacted to my comment as only an argument for the submission to be flagged while ignoring why I thought it has been. It has nothing to do with it being non-tech. It has to do with (a) Ask HN's aren't for addressing YC or YC companies, and (b) whether the discussion is actually accomplishing anything. Flamewars do little to advanced anything constructive, even awareness.

HN is for civil and substantive discussion. There are plenty of places elsewhere where people can post micro-rants at each other. HN isn't supposed to be one of them.

The parent comment also claims it is "artificial suppression". In fact, even if the H1B effects are said to be true - it seems the issue is not legal immigration but HOW the H1B visas are granted and to whom. This is entirely different than the implication of the parent comment which seems to suggest to halt immigration.

Actually NE Journal of Medicine says that mass smoking cessation would increase total health care costs in long run. So not sure the logic for the disincentives, other than paternalism run amok.

> it is not supposed to be comparison of frameworks.

Well, that's sort of the whole point. The Rails part of Ruby on Rails is the framework, totally apart from Ruby the language.

Comparing RoR to plain Node.js where you have to write all the scaffolding for the presentation layer doesn't make any sense. Rails gives you a lot of that for free.
Ask HN: What's not great about Elixir?
This isn't an attempt to bring out some great clash, but I find discussions (in the phase of the language hype cycle that Elixir is probably at anyway) centre around what the language does right, what it does well.

There's not much talk of drawbacks, but in a way I find a discussion of the tradeoffs more informative, both in a way that's more generally language agnostic, (like 'x' language feature is pretty cool, but usually carries these implications because of 'y'), but also just giving me a sense of where the language sits within the tech space.
Software has always been politics. Most things are. People like to say they or their work is apolitical. But that's not really the case. What's more accurate to say is that those people are accepting the default political settings of their employers.

Right now the USA is subsidizing the corn industry to the tune of billions of dollars a year. 5-10% of that corn gets turned in to sweeteners.

Why are we taxing honest, hard-working Americans to provide cheap sweeteners for your sugar fix? Why are we subsidizing an industry that has been shown to have negative health effects?

I'm just saying that if you're going to subsidize farmers, you might as well say they have to make healthy food, not poison. :)

If you have the potential for debt (with a credit card you do, with cash or debit card you don't), then in a bad month you add on stuff that you need. Or in a stupid month you add on things that you don't. Then you have a balance you can't pay off. If you're using cash/debit, you can't spend money you don't have yet.

For many people the credit card is a way of buying things with next week's paycheck. Yes, they can normally pay it off, but not always. They're just against the edge of debt by living off future earnings.
