They require some form of government-issued ID so I provided them with a driving licence. I figured it wasn't a bad trade-off for a decent service. Germany seems to value data privacy much more than my own (Irish) government).

Well, funny thing... I really didn't play it much online, so I didn't even realize he was playing on servers for a while. He was 10ish when he started (15 now). When I started looking over his shoulder, I was shocked at some of the other players behavior! I once intervened and took control of the keyboard to scold another player who kept holding him up and taking his cars, money, etc. Turns out it was a role playing server... the other player was his friend, playing a criminal. I kind of left him alone after that!

There is a chasm between anti-illegal behavior by the president and anti-president. By this definition of "actively and explicitly anti-Trump" the ACLU was probably the 2nd most anti-Obama group after the birthers.

The ACLU has a clear agenda that is not highly aligned with either political party, so "being politicized" is accurate.
Except for guns, I can't think of a single issue where the right is more on the side of civil liberties than the left.

SIP works, but excepting a native app from Doze doesn’t. For example, if an app has its own push notification system, even if it is whitelisted, it will be terminated during doze.
Is the application page out of date? It's still referring to Winter 2017, and a deadline of October 4. However, this post says YC apps are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Well, we're not there now, so the best we can do is do what we can do now, and promise ourselves to do what we can then. Maybe we will, maybe we'll fail, but there's literally nothing we can do about that now, so why let cynicism about a potential future erode our resolve to do what is right now?
For sure, but the point is that YC is welcoming to educational disruption even if the submissions so far haven't been very impactful.

I think that fundamentally the main objection to this system is that some people learn better in a classroom setting, to which I reply: 21st century education needs to make a transition to turn graduates into self-learners. This can only be achieved with a system that fosters self-learning from very early on.

I grew up in a very traditional system that would remind most Americans of the 1950s, and it hasn't impacted my self-learning ability at all. I'm fortunate in that my parents liked books and I was able to read by age 3 and as long as I can remember I had firm opinions about what I wanted to read. I'm not altogether convinced by your vision of students as intellectual tabulae rasa that can be variously configured as drones, autodidacts, or innovators.

A student's home and socioeconomic life can have as much or more impact on their intellectual development as the kind of school they attend, and the idea that perfecting education will automatically nullify other factors is a rock on which many would-be reformers have come to grief.

> That's easy to say for someone with a good income. For a lot of people wages go down while cost of living goes up.

Bullshit. Technology brings down the cost of living by making the supply side more efficient. What goes up is the cost of the way you'd like to live as you have more options to choose from.

Obviously there's disruptions along the way (ex: automobiles lessen demand for horse breeders) but when capitalism closes a door it opens a window (ex: mechanics).
They are already doing it today. That is why HN or DHS has no clue about the extent of abuse.

H1B comes with their wives who are on H4. Despite having a great career in India these women can not work. Eventually the stress breaks them and they approach consultancies who charge $8k per filing. To improve chances they even pay multiples of $8k to file multiple petitions.

Once petition is approved they work for $30K year without any benefits, no paid leave, no insurance etc. while the payroll is run of $60K. Taxes are paid on $60K. These H4 women are very thankful for this exploitation because other option is to be a housewife. (thanks for standing up for women's right murica)

Also, the hatred that Indian outsourcing cos get is totally unfair because eventually these companies are paid to do all this by American cos. Almost every large co out there in bay area is employing these people through outsourcing giants.
The Economist has previously mused that the old distinction between "left" and "right" isn't as relevant any more. Instead, the extreemes on both the left and right have a lot in common, they're both "drawbridge up:" don't like free trade or open borders.
> inherent limitations of central planning

I wonder about those. I have this thought on the back of my head - now that we have ubiquitous light-speed communication and a big surplus of computing power, couldn't doing central planning via algorithms and automated systems offset some of the "inherent limitations" you mention?

You're not allowed to ship a interpreter that interprets code that doesn't come from insider your app.

So you can maybe ship Gecko + SpiderMonkey, as long as you only run JS that's part of your app. But if you want to run JS from a website (or indeed any code from anywhere), you're not allowed to do that on iOS.

I haven't checked whether it would be OK to ship a browser engine that doesn't support JS at all, but that's a fairly academic question anyway.

Then how do you explain earlier bouts of populism, like Huey Long? Liberalism has had its challengers ever since it existed.

> Not really - SFSafariViewController uses content blockers, autofill, etc.

SFSafariViewController is useles for apps like Chrome and Firefox. It is an embedded Safari controller. Not an embedded generic webview controller.

SFSafariViewController has zero API. All it can do is display a webpage. Applications that use it have zero ability to even modify the UI.

That is intentional. It is supposed to be a Safari view. And for security reasons that is probabl good, otherwise it would be a gateway to your browsing data.
That wasn't the subject. The point is that deleting everything but the bare necessities kills the "time waster" opportunities, while being still much more useful (and privacy-minded) than a dumb phone.
The logic of your well-thought out and ponderous argument is utterly overwhelming.

Actually it's a pretty straightforward consequence of the HN guidelines, which clearly do not forbid all political discussion; just "politics for its own sake", i.e. political talk not strongly anchored in some other intrinsically legitimate topic.
This also open-sources the GEE protocols, so it's now possible to create your own open-source clients for it.

Even in such a case, the AG should be free to ignore the recommendation and say "sure, we've got enough evidence, but we're not going to pursue it". For example, if the charge is minor enough, or if the optics of it look bad, or the person in question were already being prosecuted by a different office, they could tell the FBI Director they weren't going to bother, and then go hold a press conference to explain why (so that the FBI Director doesn't beat you to the press to say "we've got them dead to rights and they won't prosecute for [X] reasons!").
I have a very specific idea on how to improve democracy. Make all public spending easy to search. Let me elaborate: Via direct and indirect taxes democratic governments take and redistribute between 30% and 50% of our income[1]. Yet we usually have no idea how exactly is it the money spent. This has two effects:

1) many disenfranchised people think state spending is somehow secret therefore "all politicians steel" and "the system is evil". This leads to low participation in election, populism etc.

2) even if we try to be good citizens we make uninformed decisions. Specific example from UK: how should we decide whether to keep a fleet of nuclear Trident submarines or axe 30,000 teacher jobs? Is the cost even comparable?

During the Brexit campaign someone once posted financial hoax on my FB feed - how much we spend on X. I went to verify the facts only to discover it is absolutely impossible to find how much we spend on anything. After hours of researching all I could find were perplexing .gov websites, unsearchable PDF documents, CSVs too big to open in excel and that obfuscated by impenetrable accounting jargon.

Compare it to this: if I ask you what were the earnings of the second movie produced by whoever produced Angelina Jolie's last movie you could probably find the answer on IMDB in less than a minute.

And I don't mean only government spending, I mean the whole public sector. States, departments, bureaus, agencies, offices, cities, towns, courts, libraries, schools, hospitals, public benefit corporations. In the end public finance is by definition public and the information should be available to everyone. If you think of it there are only 3 ways a tax dollar could leave public finance: as a salary to employees, as a payment for goods and services from private sector or as a transfer to another organisation or individual.

Build a website, get all the data, make it extremely user friendly, easy to search, navigate and share and people will start fact checking each other in FB conversations a participate more in local politics.

Well, upon that there is some disagreement. I'll take this quote from Jonathan Adler (who is Director of the Center for Business Law & Regulation at Case Western Reserve University ):

"To the contrary, Yates claims she is ordering the Justice Department not to defend the executive order because it is not 'wise or just.' This is quite significant. I am not aware of any instance in which the Justice Department has refused to defend a presumptively lawful executive action on this basis."

I wish there was more focus on non-Western philosophy in such articles. Often there are one or two Greek philosophers, one or two Muslim philosophers and a brief mention of something something Buddhist philosophy. What about Hindu philosophy? What about Chinese philosophy? I can ascertain that the two facets he describes, cyclical nature of universe[1] and multiverse[2] are both part of Hindu philosophy. I wish there was more focus on diversity of ancient thought. Time travel is something that was alluded to in many ancient cultures and is a vast topic, imo[3]

Doctors are human though, and different practices have different processes. Some are absolutely the way you describe. Maybe most, I don't know (my experience is limited there).

Personally when I moved to the US, I had one experience like what you describe, at MGH (best hospital in the world! blah blah blah).

I said screw that, went to a local practice (though still a big one, not an independent) instead. My experience over 3 different doctors (my main one and some specialists) closely match your second one. Been happy since then.

The one exception has been GI doctors. Since everyone in the US has digestion related issues because of the crap they eat, GIs are overloaded and ends up following a near assembly line process with patients. That sucks.
> The only controversy here is that people like Trump and his voters, including Dilbert's cartoonist, have this belief that if I am Muslim, I have to pay some sort of cost, on account of group responsibility, that if I'm not a Muslim I don't have to pay.

I'm Canadian - if my countrymen are causing problems in the world, I feel an obligation to do what I can, or at least try. It seems there's this near unanimous belief that the American government/military (and therefore people) are responsible for protecting the world, and get a very vigorous self-righteous scolding if they even hint at scaling that obligation back, but everyone else on the planet gets a pass due to their religion or some other group association.

> The implication is: if I'm Muslim, I've been staying out of the fight against terrorism.

You've manufactured that implication. A more accurate statement in my opinion would be: until the governments and people of countries can reign in their extremists, there will be travel restrictions. Now I'm not saying outright that this is a good idea, but it sure as hell doesn't seem remotely crazy to me.

> If I'm not Muslim, I've been fighting.

Absurd.

> Everybody has to consider taking actions that can decrease the problem, no matter what country you were born in. If you're a man, you shouldn't have to pay any extra cost, nor bear more responsibility, on account of terrorists being all or mostly all men. Same with religion, country of birth, or eye color.

Disagree, disagree, disagree. In fact, look at the various feminist directives, men are told on a regular basis that it is our collective responsibility to clean up the shortcomings of our gender. No one bats an eye at this, but if collective responsibility is asked of any other group, there's no end to the howls of moral outrage.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to your philosophy no one has any responsibility at all? These seven countries (and other not included as they are "allies") have no responsibility to the world, at all? If so, then the US government has no responsibility to encourage its citizens to burn less fossil fuels, right? That is the individual responsibility of each person who uses fossil fuels, and the appropriate reaction to any implication that there is a collective responsibility is moral outrage?

Global nuclear war will quickly and reliably stop everything.
There are powers which are very unhappy about the way technology is making them irrelevant and they see it as a fight for survival.

Civilisation is at a crossroad: continue building a high-tech society which makes humans irrelevant according to the current social/philosophical/moral norms (1) OR go back to the Dark Ages and let the powerful run the show (2).

If we want to continue with (1), we also have to quickly redefine the whole meaning of society, citizen, work, job, leadership, democracy, etc. This has to be done fast and it has to be done globally.

This will be very hard to do.
Sometimes you just gotta give it a go. I'm not saying quit your job and do it full time, but if someone is going to steal your idea, then they're going to steal your idea tomorrow or in a years time.

Everything is a risk, but you don't want to get to 90 and think "damn it, I should have done that business".

The worst thing that might happen is you might run out of cash, give it up and get another job. Or someone will rip you off (be it a biz partner, investor or rival) and you give it up and get another job. It's stressful and not fun, but you're not going to die if your startup fails.

Half the entries on the list are from Congress, the other half were added by the Obama administration which was given the power to add to the list as it saw fit. Any strange omissions are therefore entirely on Obama's head. Also, if I'm reading the congressional record correctly the original, non-consolidated version that was not attached to anything else passed the House of Representatives with a substantial bipartisan majority, 407-19 - see https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/158/...

One reason this is interesting is that there there were some very widely-circulated - and of course false - claims on social media that the choice of countries was somehow influenced by Trump's business interests, and that the fact no-one from countries on the list had killed in the US proved Trump was inspired by racism or even an outright fascist. https://twitter.com/JamesMelville/status/825473088758374400 was typical of the genre. Snopes decided to show an uncharacteristic lack of interest in online rumours by not mentioning them. Naturally, the same people who were spreading those claims are now spreading the debunkings about how no, Trump's ban is nothing like Obama's.
I am cranky that they aren't willing to make simple statements of support for it.

Yes, I run about 800 of them now. They have not been as reliable as the 6TB archive drives. I think this was related to a bad run that seagate had while manufacturing. Our numbers, overall (with 6,000+ drives now, if I remember correctly) are much lower than Backblaze's reported failures.

We also classify a drive as failed when it throws ANY SMART error, then it's diagnosed with Seagate's internal tool (which I believe they are open sourcing, if they haven't already) and put back into production

Seagate has given us good warranties on these drives as well. Yes a higher immediate failure rate (first 1 month) with the 8TB drives was annoying, but they more than made it right replacing the drives.
Not just encoding, but it also depends on a number of things like color depth, chroma subsampling (4:2:2), and so on. It's not uncommon for a single film to approach half a petabyte of raw in a digital world with a "typical" setup (4:2:2, ProRes maybe, 10-bit, etc). To use an example, I think I read somewhere that Gone Girl shot a few hundred TB for a technically straightforward film. Some cameras, particularly when you start getting to digital cinema (which is > "4K"), can shoot as much as a terabyte and a half per hour. There are 8K sensors in common availability now; RED has one that can shoot 75fps 8K at 2.4:1, which I don't even want to calculate, but that I know for a fact it can't write to its own storage at native bitrate. Productions eat storage these days and moving that data around is a challenge.

He's been playing for 5 years now, so he's a mod on a few servers. He started out building simple things, then progressed to wiremod within a couple of weeks. It wasn't long before I couldn't keep up with him when I tried to check out what he was building. He used to build cars/vehicles (mostly from scratch, not using car models) and add them to the workshop, think he has a couple dozen in there. Now he mostly camps on servers and chats with friends (online friends), warns and kicks players when he gets reports, that sort of thing.
