This is an excellent blog post, though it made me sick reading it.

I recently made the switch. I went from trying to limit how much I log in (to once or twice a week), to actually not logging in. I've been cold-turkey for two months (except for a couple of times when I had a very specific reason to check something).

I thought it would be difficult. Turns out it's not so hard, and it's the fear of reduced social contact (or dopamine withdrawal more likely) that was stopping me. If you have a plan to replace the social interactions with other forms, you realise that the rest is just dross. If I really want to know what my friends had for breakfast I can phone them up and ask. On balance, I'd rather not.

I'm not at the point of deleting the account yet. Small steps.

Here were my reasons FWIW: http://blog.afandian.com/2017/01/why-i-am-giving-up-on-faceb...

If you're reading and considering whether or not you can withdraw from Facebook, you can do it!

Well, "complete BS" right back.

> portrayed Chinese men as dangerous to "innocent" and "virtuous" young white women

Suspecting a group of criminal activity is hardly terrorism; you could have just quoted attitudes towards blacks for a less obscure analogy.

> So your allegation that the linkage of Muslims to terrorist extremism is unique is provably untrue.

I never said that no other group has ever been linked to terrorism. I said it hasn't ever been close to the scale it is now, with major attacks in every culture across dozens of countries. Comparing IRA to ISIS is a big stretch, not in type but in magnitude.

Entertaining read. It takes a while, in any business/other relationship to learn to stick to your guns.

Reading this, and somewhat projecting, I would say you lack confidence in some of your decisions. You therefore seemed opened to discussion.

I'd personally never quit a job for a startup with no money. But if I did, I believe that would be on me and I'd be walking into it with the idea that this would be an interesting experience which might not pan out.

Regarding the wedding/holiday. You just need to be firm about what you think is right. "I need to take this time off", "we need to reschedule/cancel as I have an important prior engagement".

If that kills the relationship, well it probably wasn't going anywhere anyway...

You can't tell the difference between Facebook and HN? C'mon.

You actually have a good point, but by overstressing the similarities of social behavior on different sites you make the point weaker. We do some similar self promotion and efforts to improve how others perceive us in face-to-face interactions as well, but no one would refer to that as "social media".

I'm curious to dig a bit further in, but from the blog post I get the impression that they are also still cloning the full commit history, just not the full file trees attached to the commits and definitely not the full worktree of HEAD, leaving those to be lazily fetched. If that is the case, that sounds like an interesting compromise on the git model and something verging on some of the speculative ideas I've seen about using something like IPFS to back git's trees, to the point where maybe you could use something IPFS in tango with this and have a good DVCS solution.

There are other ways of doing a similar attack which have been covered by HD Moore. We found this one interesting due to the minimal interaction required on Windows and the prevalence of media sharing on the darknet (for good or evil).
..and assuming those examples of unwelcome behavior are objectively defined. Any room for judgement calls or definition stretching, and you've taken what it supposed to be a useful metric and turned it into a cudgel to be misused.

Example: Wikipedia. The talk pages on that site, especially on politically charged topics, are detailed examples in how one can behave in a destructive fashion and drive off talent without ever dipping into base namecalling.
>all but one of which were part of the civil wars in Iraq or Syria.

Unsurprisingly all sides in a muslim majority country's civil war are muslim, equally unsurprising is that the non-recognized-states action are written down as terrorism.
I love these kinds of emails.
Facebook it the only way I see my second cousin's kid's piano recital. It is a valuable way for me to know something like that happened (they live more than a thousand miles away). It lets me keep up some of the people who I went to high school with - we were not really friends but we had a connection. Facebook is the easiest way to ensure my parents (300 miles away) see pictures of their grandkids doing cute things.

Unfortunately it sucks me into political fake news and lots of other bad things. Blocking all games helped greatly.

On balance the real purpose of Facebook: keeping up with distance family and friends; is a very useful part of life. Thus it is worth it.
Protectionism will push wages up, which helps those who are participating in the labor force (since Congress won't act and trickle down is a farce).

Since the so-called Arab Spring started in Tunisia, you have to ask yourself why we didn't push for "regime change" in that country.

The demonstrations in Syria were not spontaneous. They were engineered. If you have time, read the email exchanges between the US ambassador to Syria and H. Clinton.

Regarding Iran and Russia playing "the great game", they're supporting the legitimate govt of that country. Without their support, Assad would have been dead years ago, and Syria would have been in worse shape than it is now.

I use the people switcher on computers I "control". It is convenient to have two accounts which stay logged in to various services. I do not like staying logged in, and might forget to log out of, computers that aren't mine.
It's also a lot cheaper, I imagine. BBC costs ±£145/household/year. Is it possible to determine the public cost of RTVE?
Adobe Illustrator CC 2015 Crack and Serial Key Is Here
just to clarify, there are no warning messages doing this with signed WMV files. There is a single warning from Tor which you can selectively disable - and I am sure many users do. You open the file and the action is triggered, office documents now have protected mode which comes with alerting and I am sure that Adobe warns users in a similar fashion. Most users would not expect playing a movie file to perform this action hence why it has a use case here.
Starship Troopers was written by Robert Heinlein, who attended a service academy and was an officer before WWII. The fact that it's science fiction somewhat obstructs the satire present, namely citizens' relationship to war and violence as a national value. The movies are basically entirely unrelated in this way.

e: Heinlein wasn't in the Navy during WWII.
> simultaneously ruined my perception of the nobility of math and spurred my interest in philosophy

Can you explain this? Math isn't perfect, so might as well abandon all formality? This feels like "Science doesn't have all the answers, so maybe I can find them in the bible?"

I'm not sure how constructivism hinders mathematics, or Godels in the long run.

I use people switcher on my laptop to switch between my two google accounts, but on my wife's laptop I see no reason to leave crumbs of my presence behind.
I notice that reading that link, 22/23 acts of terrorism killing a hundred people or more happened in Iraq and Syria which is literally a war-zone.

Just as a thought experiment, if you listed civilian casualties in the Ukraine-Russia war as deaths from terroristic acts you could easily come to the conclusion that it was Eastern-European Christians that were the world's greatest terrorists.
Warm is not necessarily bad if it's not humid. The San Francisco Bay area gets up in to the 90's sometimes in the summer, but it's quite bearable because it's not very humid (don't know why, since it's so close to water). In New York and further south on the East Coast, it gets to be as hot or hotter, but with 100% humidity -- it's torture.

Nations have commonly interned enemy aliens, e.g. P.G. Wodehouse. However, one hell of a lot of the "Japanese" interned were in fact native-born citizens.

My German-born great-grandparents were not molested by the government during WW I, though there was harassment of Germans and German-speakers. And in WW II the US had admirals and generals with names like Nimitz, Eisenhower, Eichelberger, Gerow.
I found it interesting for the opposite reason: I've avoided Facebook up to now, but there are enough inconveniences that my resistance is wearing down.

Perhaps you could be more specific?
Or pretend to have lost their passport and get a new passport without stamp. Or get a secondary passport that's made available by most governments because of issues like this one.

But you are right in principle. Letting people through because they look important is a big security hole.
Exactly. India did not have any economic reforms until the 90s which is when industries such as telecom etc exploded. If you compare the economies of China vs India (I know it is a sensitive topic), they were very similar until the 80s. But India did not have "open" trade policies until the 90s which really hurt the overall economic growth. Look at India's growth after the 90s economic reforms and you can see the story.China took off and India has been far behind.

I really think a country like india needs to open up to encourage foreign investments which will drive improvements in infrastructure which India severely lacks compared to other developing economies.

TL;Dr: In case of India, protectionism has hurt it more than it helped.

Look at the graph below and pay special attention to the GDP growth comparison. Notice the huge spike for India beginning the 90s.

If serving on the Strategic and Policy Forum demonstrates a view that "Trump looks acceptable", then Trump looks acceptable to Jamie Dimond, Jack Welch, Bob Iger, and a pile of others who are much more "high-profile business leaders". I am not sure depriving him of Kalanick's portion of that is meaningful if that's all that happens.
Ask HN: What would you do with Restaurant Profiles?
Imagine an easy to use API to access any Restaurant Profile in Europe. Not only core profiles and clusters based on 'similar restaurants' are delivered, but also any feature (wifi, parking, TV, payment methods...) and menus.
What would be a potential use case to use this kind of data?
That's odd, using edge on my (low horsepower) work machine now, there doesn't appear to be any kind of delays in opening a tab or loading a page.

I'll admit that I don't actually like edge's scrolling very much, I think it's the [de/ac]celeration curves - but that's a purely preference thing.
If one can't successfully appeal to someone's sense of morality (perhaps because they have different morals), one can try to appeal to their sense of self interest.

Because that leaves your SO in the position of being able, even accidentally, to log in to your account.

Further, I'd guess that even if you absolutely trust your SO not to violate your privacy, you might still reasonably distrust the platform they're working on, and you might not want to expose your account credentials on a platform that you don't directly control.
I know that, and have a well worn copy of the book myself. Was just surprised to see a work of fiction, no matter how insightful, on a "Military Reading List". But I guess I can see the point.
You would probably still need the changes they made to Git itself. But fundamentally IPFS is also a filesystem virtualization layer (so should be able to do everything their file system virtualization is doing - if it doesn't already), and inherently has lazy checkouts.

The main added benefit is that if your friend on the LAN has also checked out the parts you need you can get them directly from them rather than some central repo, which could make a big difference in a company of 10's of thousands of employees.
So if you outsource your labor to an Indian sweatshop, that's the progressive "global economy", but if you wanted to do run the same operation locally you are a Luddite. Hmmm...

While private browsing is not actually private I feel going so far as to say it does not stop websites from collecting info on you is maybe a bit too far.

The site can still collect information about you, yes. But unless you sign in while in private browsing or the site is using some sort of user-agent / IP trickery it won't be automatically tied to your accounts. None of the cookies or local storage are shared across private/non private browsing.

Personally, I use it mostly to see what websites look like when I'm not logged in or if I want to access something that can only be accessed while logged out without actually logging out which is surprisingly common.
Just replied :)
A bit of a topic highjack, but I'm always curious how "many people committing very often on the same branch" works in practice. I'd expect there to be livelock like scenario's.

Do you need to do anything special? Or is this just a non-issue? Doy you push to master or do you use some sort of pull request gui (like github or phabricator)
That sounds awesome. I loved the bit of 'world-building' that Firefly did manage to do and wished there was more of that.
"Professional" probably in terms of "professional development", i.e. the ideas about character and historical knowledge deemed necessary by the military. I think that each branch has its own reading list, and the book lists are "picked" and revised by the most senior leadership (and also most likely their staff). For example, the Commandant of the Marine Corps's reading list (https://www.usmcofficer.com/marine-corps-knowledge/commandan...), which includes books for each rank for both enlisted and officers.

Emerging Smart Home Products That Will Change Our Lives
India was (and still is to a large extent) a very protectionist country. When I grew up, you can only buy between 2 or 3 car models, all built by Indian companies and some with a government partnership. It held back the country severely and expanded poverty. Due to dire financial outlook of the country, India was forced to liberalize it's economy in the 90s. And since then there has been no looking back.

But many years of protectionism meant that India continues to lag behind China in most key indicators. India lost out on the manufacturing boom and an opportunity to lift millions out of poverty. India provides a perfect example of pitfalls of a protectionist economy.

Yeah some kind of slow incremental behavior shift towards something would be more insidious. Maybe allow the user to define a rotating theme of the week.

Not just windows DRM files. Specifying a special codec is enough to trigger an auto download attempt in certain players. You can even embed smil animations in quicktime files to trigger content downloads.

This is why the feds want to redistribute child porn for weeks at a time. They can't break tor to de-anonymize users. They need to distribute files with beacons in them for this plan to work. Never mind that the police have become the child porn traffickers.

I like this article because it reminds us that "whiteness" is not actually a strictly racial identity. There are numerous factors that make someone "white" in America, which makes them acceptable to white nationalists. These purity rules can change over time to represent what's politically expedient.

Many young Americans are shocked to learn that Italian and Irish (who are often a baseline of appearance in modern America)were once not only considered not "white", but were demonized even as much as other races that Europe has traditionally looked down on.

This is one of the primary reasons that fascism is such an uncomfortable situation for its citizens. Fascism thrives in the face of an "enemy" that can be defeated by force and a "strong leader." These enemies will be selected by convenience, not rationality.

Interesting thought, however I think that the existing graph driver file systems are not actually an "image layer file system"... instead they are a general purpose file systems that are being used to store images.

For example, what one wants with launching multiple instances of an image is to be able to clone the image. Today, to accomplish that, file system snapshots are used to simulate this feature. And that is where a lot of the problems start happening. LCFS does things purpose built for these use cases.
