BLM is a peaceful organization. There are rogue actors, but that is a result of its poor central planning and lack of clear agenda. Please do not discredit the entire movement of people fighting to stop systemic racism because a few of them torch some trash cans and break a few windows.

What is really interesting to see is political cartoons from the days of the MLK led Civil Rights protests. The arguments against the civil rights movement are exactly the same as the ones against BLM now. People thought the protesters were "too violent" and were a bunch of thugs destroying their own neighborhoods and holding back the more respectable black people and their agenda. The same arguments are used today to discredit the work of Black Lives Matter.

After all, didn't MLK say that a riot is the language of the unheard?
Getting rid of social security or making our healthcare system even worse won't do anything to shrink the FBI. A stronger welfare state is compatible with considerably less out-of-control police than we have in the United States; witness anywhere in northern Europe.

If you don't want people to laugh at your principles, maybe don't immediately turn a conversation about the security state to an argument that you should pay less taxes.
I have done a few HW and a few SW startups. For the HW I would eventually help us move into all of Asia. For the SW I would help move into Asia, minus China.
That's ok because houses everywhere has dropped 20%. And if you still can't afford to move even if your dream home has taken a price hit at least you still have somewhere to stay.

The great part about a severe correction in home prices is that.. Well I think generally speaking... Luxury homes have a higher beta than non-luxury homes, i.e. Luxury homes correct harder than non luxury homes. If you're staying in a 1m home hoping to leg into a 2.5m home, it sometimes happen that a correction drops your home value by 150k and the target 2.5m home by 650k or more. So the hurdle to change home just got cheaper by half a mil... Which is a good thing!

The scenarios you mentioned are the risks of overleveraging and that applies to everything. Few people leverage their retirement portfolios. If your home value is 90% of your retirement, why take that risk? Would you gear 90% of your retirement portfolio 4-5x and put it in a single asset?
Thank goodness someone is as brave as you are to defend neo-nazis and their rights. Do you also debate firefighters because, well, they're just as bad as the fires?

You see, white nationalists/facists/neo-nazis/alt-righters/whathaveyou have an ideology of genocide and oppression. Enacting violence against them can be seen as a form of self defense. Engaging them in debate only validates their ideology. Arguable, the best plan of action is to ignore them entirely and starve them of airtime, but the media clearly didn't get that memo.

Now, when you have somebody like Milo Y coming to campus with plans to publicly name undocumented foreign students (like he publicly named a transgender student at his last talk, forcing her to leave the school after harassment from his followers) in an attempt to incite violence against them or deportation, knocking over a few lights and breaking some windows to keep him at bay is pretty reasonable for defense.
> You can't live in S&P 500

Getting a place to live is quite different from getting one as an investment.

> the landlord also knows how to factor those in

Rents are determined by supply & demand. They are not determined by whatever the landlord pleases to charge any more than whatever the renter pleases to pay.
>That is special kind of stupid.

Very thoughtful and well reasoned. Take that trash elsewhere.
State and easier navigation/alteration. The most painful part of curl commands (for exploring) is editing the command when you want to change a parameter, header, etc.

I like this interface personally because it separates the path to its own area, then headers and query parameters are separate areas with each instance on its own line.

It makes it quite easy to explore a rest interface and tweak your queries ad hoc.
Was curious indeed; did some googling. Libertarianism is hilarious: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ludwig_von_Mises_Institute#Grea...
This comment is so securely crafted sir.
Even in such a scenario the $1B would be offloaded to investment banks during the road show who will in turn off load it at the IPO price to its client base.

They won't dump it into the open market on opening day.
It's not clear that making the state smaller makes it any less powerful, or any less able to protect the poor. You could replace all the existing welfare programs with a redistributive tax on capital, and still technically have shrunk the state if there were fewer regulations and fewer government employees afterwards.

One of the most important insights that YC and friends have given me is that a massive heavyweight isn't necessarily better than a small and nimble competitor.
This would be a likely outcome if used as you describe. However a big danger is using it to convince minorities/immigrants who haven't done anything actually wrong.
Onerous late stage investment terms.

See Square IPo for reference, as well as Spotify's terms discussed in this article.
You've watched a lot of them, but you've never seen or heard of "kettling"? Odd. I have seen it and experienced it.

(I'm also curious what instances of protests-turned-riot you're referring to. The US hasn't had many riots, in any meaningful sense, recently. Do you mean someone smashing a window?)
It's a lofty goal to create tools with the view of supporting the direction of one of the world's largest software companies, with the ability to support single-person dev shops just as seamlessly. I don't know if it makes sense (i.e. would google's monorepo scale down like that? Is Microsoft hamstringing themselves in this way?), but I applaud the effort.
>stronger welfare state is compatible with considerably less out-of-control police than we have in the United States; witness anywhere in northern Europe.

Or Cuba or Venezuela?
> 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).

Right. Those are some of the reasons it's plausible that someone would recommend it with a more complex intention than "yay, looting."
Ask HN: Which versions of Semantic-UI, gulp, node, npm work right together?
I am confused about the versions, and often the error messages are quite irrelevant, or even without any message, they just work weirdly.
Does anyone have a good solution for deploying dot files to vim easily? Like a vim package manager that's easily installed.
I agree. I am hopeful that precision medicine trials will change things.
Citation needed: it's definitely not more invasive than when we had e.g. actual royalty or state-enforced slavery, to say nothing of the various authoritarian regimes of the 20th century, in the U.S. at least taxes are generally lower than they were decades ago and federal employment has been flat to declining for at least half a century.

This is also a meaningless claim without looking at life for the average person: was it really better when the state let your house run a company town, pollute around your home, punish you for disagreeing in public, etc?

What you should be looking at is quality of life and personal freedom. Assuming the quality of government is fixed is a classic libertarian cognitive vice, and its prevalence does a lot to keep adherents marginalized.
The approach he took to analysing his condition reminds me of bug fixes through logging and debugging.

He took and analysed blood samples over many months -> logging.

When he identified something in the logs that looked odd, he took a drug that should affect that behaviour -> debugging.
Downloads on the campus direct connect network in '02 are still the fastest I've achieved real world then or since, with a selection probably at least comparable to any torrent site. They've just never seen real file sharing.

Or is file sharing just now obsolete now? A bit out of the loop :/

> Occupy didn't result in direct action or changes.

That was my point. It had as goals to limit the influence of corporations on politics, more balanced distribution of income, more and better jobs, bank reforms.

I can see maybe the secondary effects of electing Obama, so agree with that. Interestingly did Obama do much in regard to those issues. There was student dept forgiveness thing, that might be a claim. ACA might be another one. But what about others...can't think of any right off the bat.

> The sheer size of the crowds at the first protest, the Women's March, has had a galvanizing effect.

It was a beautiful thing indeed. It was nice to see others and have that solidarity. If it gets people more involved politically that's even better.

> I think it's arguable the anti-LGBT executive order was scrapped at the last minute because of the sheer size of the instant protests over the immigration ban.

I am behind on my news, what was that anti-LGBT executive order? This is the first time I heard about it.
Are you talking about solely evaluating the technical ability of the candidate? Because that's only part of the equation to making the right hiring choice.
From what I've observed top players flag mines very minimally, only so that they can strategically chord in certain situations. Lists of record scores typically make a distinction between flagging mines vs. not doing so. I never flag mines, but I'm also not that good compared to the best of the best.

For reference, the best of the best is Kamil Murański. There is only a 0.4 second difference between his NF (No Flag) time and his normal expert world record:

And that's the real issue. The CAD company did suffer harm, however the idea of the output being copyright is wrong but it looks like that was the only angle they could go. Our system is pretty screwed up. I wonder if there chould be a case for a "corrupt practices act". If you can prove they knowingly outsourced to a company they knew was using pirated software how is that different then working through let's say a channel partner that pays bribes? I deal with partners all the time and under US law if I knowing I am doing business through a 3rd party that paid a bribe (my hands never touched it) I can be prosecuted because I knew.
It all boils down to money. Departments got a revenue stream from the churn of job applicant pool background checks. Now they're going with the SAAS model. It's a pretty bad ethical conflict of interest; that unfortunately someone without a job will never be able to afford to bring before the courts.
Yes, written well but not enough real world depth of experience behind them.
Redex does tons of things Proguard doesn't, and it operates on Android's native Java-program format, dex files, not java class files like Proguard. What's the problem?
from 1984, chapter 5:

It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. .. the other table swallowed it fanatically, passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grammes. Syme, too-in some more complex way, involving doublethink, Syme swallowed it. Was he, then, alone in the possession of a memory?

It's the scientific process, actually.

I've done some work with react native, and have definitely been disappointed by the poor quality of many third party libraries that are not supported by Facebook.

This is a big opportunity for those who might wish to make a name for themselves by developing some top quality open source components, but I also think Facebook should do a bit more to make using the phone's core features in a very high quality way as easy as possible. Things like the camera, audio recording, video, etc., are handled only via third party libraries.

The third party open source work is improving, and I'm grateful it exists, but much of it lacks contributors. Many have large lists of unresolved issues on github.

It would be very smart choice for Facebook to put a dozen or so developers on the task of submitting high quality PRs for the top 20 open source non-facebook libraries.
Venezuela had a command economy that bet everything on an unstable natural resource. Terrible move, not related to socializing health care or helping the poor.

Cuba was economically starved by the US and its allies and unable to interact with the global economy. This paired with its early history of horrific human rights abuses led to a rough state that continues to this day. But, and this does not excuse how violent the state was in its early days, Cuba does have no unemployment or homelessness which is something remarkable.

Those are edge cases though. Look at the northern european countries, canada, or germany
How about you read HN rules first before accusing people of not reading the article.
> How do you feel about collective bargaining in general?

In a perfect world, where the government doesn't restrain the company from firing everyone and hiring new employees, I'm fine with it. I wouldn't want to participate, but I see no reason why it would be a unfair.

> Consider a case where let's say the founder of an extremely successful yet 50 person software company sells the company for an ungodly sum ($250mil+) to Corporation X but as a part of that deal this founder doesn't provide any equity to 80% of his/her employees who helped build the company?

> What should they do then?

Either continue working for the new owners or find employment elsewhere.

If employees wanted equity, then they should have negotiated that as part of their terms of employment.
Yea that's what I mean. Each mining pool runs at least one full node to support their own mining operation.
I would not - but then, I would never be a police officer either.
For some of these files you can add logic to check for the system it is on. For example (on iPad, do not have the files to look at now..will try to post later) my bash and tmux configuration check to see if:

Linux or OS X (for terminal setting)
If I am in tmux session already.
> There's a word for those that use random violence to effect change in society -- terrorists.

Except of course you wouldn't use that word for all those planning and fighting in US wars of aggression, correct? Is it just because they're not so "random" or are there other factors, too?

I'll wear the title with pride, thanks.
No, he means it "fucks with your intuition" in the same way as poker, but potentially more confusing because the probabilities are not known.

For example, in poker you may call with pocket Kings and lose, yet with hindsight it is still clear that you made the right decision. The probabilities say so.

In investing, even after you lose money, it can sometimes be quite difficult to determine if you made a mistake or not, since the probabilities are never known.

For example, did Mohnish Pabrai and Guy Spier make a mistake with Horsehead Holdings? The only clear mistake I can see is Pabrai's position sizing, but it is not clear to me whether the investment itself was a mistake or not.
The one size fits all pricing model that Spotify has doesn't work well with how record labels want their royalties to be paid out.

Perhaps it's time Spotify became a record label, like Netflix became a content producer.
It's not about the problem being solved, Winamp was fast, minimal and beautiful. I miss it.
All other issues aside, I really don't like that arrest records show up on people's background checks. On the other hand, there are very good reasons for the public to know who the government is arresting and why. How else would the public know that the government is abusing its authority?

What is the solution?
I'm fine with the government as large as it currently is, I just want more of the stuff I like (infrastructure development, education, regulation enforcement, healthcare) and less of what I don't (overzealous law enforcement and military action, banks of federal lawyers creating fourth branches of government).
12 Facts About Jerry Lawson, Creator of the Video Game Cartridge
Unrelated but this article is a diamond in the rough for hams. I have to applaud the fairly concise writing style and actual use of math.

I've recently gotten in to amateur radio and it has been exhausting reading the wordy and anecdotal treaties of many "expert" hams on various topics. Not only are the works filled with jargon, but most posts start out with a tenuous link to actual science/technology and then immediately dive into very specific anecdotal experience.

I'm interested in finding better sources of info so if you or your club have good technical pieces on the web please let me know.
I love Tmux, I just can't seem to wrap my head on how to COPY and PASTE something lol. Anyone have any step, by step tutorial for how to copy and paste like VIM? I would like to be able to see what is being copied just like in VIM's visual mode. Like If I can copy some code in VIM and then go to paste in another REPL pane in TMUX then that would be my ideal goal!
Charges get dropped

I think I'm missing something; why would the charges get dropped?
How does it explain what the request and response formats / fields are?
You're projecting. When you drool about people who are against fascism being "subjugated", anyone who stands up to you isn't "giving in to fear and hatred", they're showing it the door.
What is perhaps more interesting is the evolution and thinking about how it is done so easily on modern systems.

I think I've rewritten the basic 'cooked' mode probably a few times the latest being for a simulation of it on embedded systems[1]. The basic code is easy and it fails on the interesting edge cases (the most common one being if you auto CR/LF at the end of the screen few readline functions back up to the previous line.)

These days however if you have "lots" of memory and rendering a screen takes less time than rendering a single character did back in the day. You can just delete the character out of the buffer and re-render the entire screen. No need to count, your screen can do funky things like set your prompt different colors have tabs at an arbitrary number of spaces etc. Basically you can start at the top and render the entire 40 - 50 lines of text, poof in less an few mS. That was unthinkable when even at 9600 baud it took a couple of seconds to re-render the enter screen.

> But if what you're really after is to prohibit protesting and the thing being protested is near a hospital

It would seem it would be a good idea to just not organize a protest close to a hospital? Or have a more organized protest that would allow an ambulance to pass...
For the life of me, I can't find any mention of social security, health care, or taxes in GP's comment.
This quote stuck out:

> "People are clean when they first go in, then they get in trouble five years down the road [and] never tell the daycare about this."

Interesting that he mentions "daycare," which seems to me like the Congressional-testimony-equivalent of clickbait. It's always easier to justify stopping bad people when you can tie it back to innocents somehow ("children, elderly, and the disabled", as the article mentions).

He also uses the word "clean," evoking images of drug addicts - the opposite of clean - and implying that these daycare providers might turn into drug-addicted crazies without their employer ever finding out.

But the scarier implication here is that what you do outside work affects your employment. Not just in the sense that posting drunken pictures to Facebook or bitching about your boss on Medium might do, but that the government will actively tell your employer about arrests that may have no bearing on your ability to do your job.

What about someone who gets arrested for protesting, or excessive speeding, or being party to a bar fight? Do those things necessarily affect their ability to watch over children, or work at a nursing home, or pilot an airplane? I can only imagine that employers will see the arrest report as an immediate cause for firing, regardless of what the arrest was for. "We can't have people like that working here."

It's a scary path to be headed down.
This isn't a warranted conclusion. The market was showing signs of slowing down before the tax was implemented. Post ergo propter hoc.

The more likely cause of the rise and then decline in Vancouver prices is the incredible levels of debt home buyers are taking on, due to low interest rates.

This is a testable hypothesis. Toronto is currently where Vancouver was pretax: rising prices, but decline in inventory and overall sales volume. If Toronto declines in 6-12 months without a tax, then the tax likely wasn't the major cause of the Vancouver decline.
What a huge shame. Spotify really had the chance to cinch the market. It's a shame they can't get it together.
For me I stopped using Winamp when I went full OSX and iPod. There was no reason to use anything else. Now, I hate iTunes but it is not easy to change. Right now I only use it for managing the library as a source of truth. The files are on a network share and played in Kodi on the compute stick plugged into the TV thought an external DAC to a tube amp. ;)
I guess it's mostly for interpreted languages. Try installing (not that I use it) Eclipse the Java IDE as another example, it's usually dated enough. This is probably why people use bleeding edge distributions. I guess in the case of compilers it's not as bad, though you can't usually get the latest and greatest Go compiler either, you have to grab the .deb off the website or use other tools. At least Rust just hands you rustup so I don't need to worry about this in the case of Rust, but with other languages like Python it's a concern of mine.
The way he went about it was (and is) illegal. The legal way would have gotten him nowhere, though.

I used ledger to manage finances for a small nonprofit. It worked well, but we eventually moved to Quickbooks because I didn't want to be the only one who could do it. Amusingly, I found Quickbooks to be much more difficult to use.
