"It is in solidarity with these latter protesters–along with those who loot–and against politicians and de-escalators everywhere that I offer this critique"

As someone who would like to see de-escalation before this all ends in civil war, the author has declared (correctly, I think) themselves against me.

It is, more than a mere defense of looting, an attack on capitalism and "white supremacy" (by which the author means American society in general, not extremist Neo-Nazis).

I'm as aware as anyone of the failures and injustices of capitalism, but merely taking what one wants isn't a sustainable solution.

Protesting peacefully != destroying private property and committing unprovoked acts of violence to innocents

There's a word for those that use random violence to effect change in society -- terrorists.
The modern prison-industrial complex is reshaping of slavery basically. It needs as input people it can control, force them to work for meager pay, extract maximum profits even from families trying to call them. Lobby for War on Drugs to stay in effect to keep the input to the funnel full.

Btw as surprising as it may be to people here, Hillary Clinton was a choice candidate for PIC. They gave her at least $250k in lobbying just last year. Lately she claimed she will refund it, but it was a token gesture so far and she donate about $10k to a women's prison charity. She was also a big proponent of the infamous "three strikes law" is which filled the prisons with various repeat offenders no matter how minor their crimes.

In the "immutable architecture" style, the only time you see a shell on a production box should be when it's on fire (and even then, only if you need to do some "perimortem" debugging because the problem keeps reoccurring even when you just blow the server's state away with a reboot, and nothing in the "postmortem" logs tell you enough to diagnose or even know what more logging you should add.)

Last time I looked <textarea> and <pre> also worked kind of like <script>.
I'm actually fully in agreement with the article. I just thought I'd chime in with personal view as this idea of will power and moral judgement is extremely pervasive in society. We have, for the most part, only vague control over our actions, wants desires etc.

from the article:

"The best way forward may be to let go of “willpower” altogether.

Doing so would rid us of some considerable moral baggage. Notions of willpower are easily stigmatizing: ... An extreme example is the punitive approach of our endless drug war, which dismisses substance use problems as primarily the result of individual choices."

I don't see substance abuse as an issue of moral weakness. It's simply a pre-encoded genetic predisposition. From this it directly follows that those that avoid vices and lead healthy lives also don't deserve any special credit. They are doing it because their genes dictate it. You are, for the most part, along for the ride, good or bad.
Invitations are nice, but low taxes are more important.
It's not a handful -- show me a gathering of anti-government protestors and I'll show you a news report the following day of random acts of violence. This is a slippery slope and permitting this to happen without consequence is dangerous.

Er, what about an LDAP server for user profiles and an NFS server for home directories, like the university timesharing clusters of olde? Any box you'd log into would have "your config files" (in fact, your whole home directory) on it.

Or, if the LDAP part is a hassle, be a hipster and pull all the 'user profile' info from GitHub (https://github.com/tsutsu/github-auth3).
I work for Spotify and I can tell you the company's spending is completely out of control. Between throwing parties where they fly every single employee out to Sweden to party or purchasing Echo Nest, only to ditch the tech later for in-house tech (Discover Weekly), they really have no clue how to manage their capital. We have nearly 2000 employees and no roadmap for profitability. Talk of an IPO has been ongoing since 2013 and employees can barely invest in the ESOP since the share price is so ridiculously priced at over $1000 a share.

Spotify has postponed the inevitable by granting shares of the corp to the companies they license music from. However, the time will come when the larger institutions want their money back and it's not going end pretty. They need to reduce their liabilities and reduce headcount ASAP.
While it's certainly true that there are many more 20-somethings/30-somethings with lots of money in tech these days, I think the attitude he had is pretty rare.

Most people wouldn't dare to release software that might get them fired because they just wanted to make it, and thought it should exist. Of course, it's well within the rights of a company to fire an employee for doing so, but pretty sure most tech workers these days just stay in line, relegate open source work to when they're told they can do it (nights and weekends), and gnash teeth but ultimately submit when a company shoves something they don't like down their throat.

Then again, he did have "fuck you" money after the acquisition so...

Are the subscription models by these streaming services really sustainable? It seems like the licensing agreements were made before the real value of the content, enabling generous promotions and even a free model. I imagine the reduction of costs brought about by digital distribution back when iTunes first launched made it a much more viable option, but now that those savings are baked into the modern music industry how much lower can prices get before it's unprofitable?

> We've already lost when an arrest is equivalent to a conviction.

It's not, under the law, of course. But since businesses can (generally) freely choose who to hire or fire, it is legal for them to ask employees about arrests and make decisions based on the answer.

This is different, though, in that the federal government itself (the FBI) is assisting companies in doing this. The FBI is reporting arrests to businesses, in full knowledge of the negative consequences for employees in doing so. Indeed, the negative consequences are the entire point of the program.

The federal government is held to different standards. If an employee could prove that they were fired because of an arrest that never led to a conviction, reported through Rap Back, I think they would have a pretty good test case for the ACLU to go to town on.

The whole point of our system of justice is to ensure that the government only punishes citizens when there is beyond reasonable doubt that an actual crime was committed. Here, the federal government is delivering punishment entirely outside that framework.

The government will argue that they're just supplying information, not punishment, but they don't get to just pretend they have no idea what happens next. Everything the FBI has ever said about this program will be reviewed and will show that the whole point is to fire people.
There's never been an unwillingness to build in Vancouver. There've been constant condo developments for 20 years, and the only thing stopping more from starting is lack of labour.

Check out this proposal for a surtax which more targets the issue from a different direction, with a more simple implementation than foreign buyer or vacancy taxes.

> One example is the Immigrant Investor program, where those wishing to immigrate would make an interest-free loan to government of $400,000 in exchange for landed immigrant status. UBC geographer David Ley has shown that investor immigrants in the Vancouver region represent nearly 10 per cent of the Vancouver region’s population. That population paid, on average, $1,400 in income tax 10 years after immigrating. This is less than refugees.
> …
> A property surtax is an elegant and legally safer way to reduce foreign capital flows into Canada’s cities than the new foreign buyer’s tax. A one per cent surtax would work like this: if you own a $1 million house, you will receive a surtax bill for $10,000. If you have already paid equivalent income tax, are on a disability pension, or if you are a retiree on CPP, the tax is a full deduction—you’ve already paid, thanks.

On paper, there's alternatives. In practice, I strongly prefer Spotify's UI, cross-platform apps (which are dying but still work for now) and social functions. So for me and many of my friends, it would also be back to mp3s (+ last.fm?) instead of a different streaming service.

This wouldn't be the first time one of the more user friendly streaming services have been taken down. Happened to Rdio, too.
I've noticed many artists re-recording their music, separate from the original label they recorded on. I presume this is to get more money than they'd otherwise get (where they own the song lyrics, but not the original recording). Obviously this isn't Top 40 acts; I've mostly seen with older rappers.

They could also work with older bands that have long split to do a "reunion" exclusive to Spotify, ala Gilmore Girls.

There are also sources of mostly independent music. I've listened to Digitally Imported for years. As much as it may not be good for listeners like me, I think they'd make a great acquisition play for Spotify.
>In traditional unions, it is enforced by law that all employees must join the union if the shop is unionized.

That very much depends on the jurisdiction. Closed-shops are illegal in Europe.
The problem I see is that they are promising a review process that is clearly fake. No human ever looked at these cases just like no human ever looks at any cases that aren't called out by friends at the company or high profile news reports.

At the very least that's simple fraud, but more troubling, they put forth their appeal process as a reason to trust them when clearly we should not.

>>Shrink the state.

This simply means "get rid of the departments and programs I disagree with, while giving massive amounts of power to rich people and corporations."
I suppose the self-employed will have a new level of privilege -- an arrest event will remain exactly what it always was and not a loss of livelihood.
Not every protester is doing that though. If you go to a peaceful protest that turns into a riot, you may be arrested even if you did not commit any acts of vandalism or violence. Basically just because you were there. Is this the world you want to live in?

I agree completely, but like to think of it a little differently.

While it's easy enough to put your dotfiles on github, and pull them down onto every machine you touch, or possibly even automate that, it doesn't solve the fundamental problem that software that requires extensive customization is not good software.

If the right trade-offs haven't already been made in the default configuration, then it's an immature application waiting for a rewrite.

Not particularly when you consider that Spotify's contracts with content providers obligate a 70% cut. The skunkworks projects to capitalize on data/ads/listening behavior/etc. have not cumulated into considerable value for the company. The focus for the company has been and always will be GROWTH in the form of monthly active users. Streaming music will never be a cash cow. The margins aren't there.

I have no scientific basis for this, this is just an idea: all alcohol consumption might be bad for our health, but moderate alcohol might relax people enough to make up for the little harm done from consumption.

I wrote my thoughts about how to work with your doctor here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12266170

My wife has since passed away unfortunately. I really need to write this all up at some point to close it off.

Anyway, I've come to understand that most doctors look at the scientific evidence indirectly.

They often have an excellent ability to follow a decision tree and work through the differential diagnosis. However, that decision tree is based on (a) observations and (b) what other doctors have tried. There's no attempt to look at the underlying mechanism to find novel solutions. So new basic research (e.g. on mTOR and VEGF as in the article) will have no effect on practice until it is proven in trials or until enough mavericks (like the patient in the article) have created a precedent.

It does make sense in terms of avoiding cost and harm -- biology is very complicated -- but I do think this conservative bias goes too far in cases where the treatments have been already proven safe in other contexts, or in cases where the alternative is already bleak.

>> The peaceful gatherings with signs and petitions, or the kind with assaults, battery, looting and vandalism on others for speaking their side?

> If you get to conflate the handful of anarchists breaking windows and setting fires the night before with the 3m of us who marched peacefully during the Women's March, then we get to conflate all Trump voters with the literal nazis - as in "Sieg Heil", nazi salute, call themselves "nazis" - that voted for him and celebrated his victory. It's only fair.

Hmm, did the op call the Women's March violent? I didn't see them doing it. So how did "Sieg Heil" even enter into this conversation?

I see people playing too fast and too loose with those terms. Both of my grandfathers drove the real "Nazis" all the way to Berlin and witnessed unimaginable horrors done by them. One was wounded had a part of his lung blow off by them. My mom told me stories of what happened with Jewish children in the village (for example daughter of the village school teacher) who was raped then had her arms cut off and buried in the back of their garden by "Nazis". You calling Trump voters "Nazis" is slap in the face to anyone who experienced the "Nazis".

You should be more careful about using those terms. You are also not advancing the cause you seem to advance because every time you write or say those words in reference to Trump voters you are probably end making more future Trump voters.
The FBI already builds watch-lists, how is this news? You're employer can already get a background check on you (even without your knowledge or consent I'm pretty sure).

Lets be honest here, nobody is getting arrested for protesting Trump, they are getting arrested for property destruction, assault, blocking public throughfares (hows the ambulance or firetruck supposed to get through?)

There are so many legitimate reasons to arrest these people, this comment is is just pure fear mongering.
> let rich & corporations get loose

This belief only causes the state to grow. It inflates politicians to the point where they are worth buying, so they are bought. They then make laws that hurt their competition and help their corporation. They make laws that make it extremely difficult to ever start a business to compete to begin with. So the corporations get bigger, and have more to buy the politicians with. And the scope of what the politicians control grows, so it costs more to buy them. So access to your government shrinks to the point where only the most wealthy have any real say in it.

And what does that look like? That looks like what we have. Congratulations for being a part of the problem through the unwarranted fear of your fellow man.

Because so many of you only want to see simple cause and effect, not the multitudinous unintended consequences that every law and regulation creates. You are controlled by your fears. If the state fails to do something, grow it. If it succeeds at anything, grow it.

This is all I will say on this subject. I have spilled a lifetime of digital ink over this, as have countless others, but to no avail. When the civil war comes because everyone finally decides that everyone else is the enemy, don't ask me for help. I'll be looking after myself and mine. I want with all my heart for that not to happen, but you're going to start wanting it with all your heads first.

My wife had a tumor on her pituitary gland. Four different MDs came up empty on her symptoms. The fourth doctor ran the right endocrine system test, but was only able to conclude "it's not [her] thyroid."

It took me about thirty minutes with the test results and Google to make the diagnosis. I was lucky, in that I had a colleague who was acquainted with the head of Stanford endocrinology, who confirmed the diagnosis and found us a good surgeon. Wife is fine today.

It's anecdotal, but my experience with the medical system is that nearly all doctors see the same handful of things day in and day out, and are not trained to see beyond their expertise.
