Obviously the war is a big part of this, but the article makes it clear that wasn't the only factor. Right near the beginning:

> Italian-Americans had faced prejudice for decades by the time the order was drafted, says Guglielmo. Italians were the biggest group of immigrants to the United States who passed through Ellis Island for much of the late 19th and early 20th century; between 1876 and 1930, 5 million Italians moved to the U.S. Not without backlash: By the 1920s, pseudo-scientists and polemicists in the 1920s popularized the notion that Italians were a separate race from Anglo-Americans.
DuckDuckGo employee here - I ran the survey we used in this.

Exactly, the top comment in this thread claims MS is the only company doing cool things (which is 100% not true). The top comments in the Windows 10 thread yesterday were mostly people claiming "it's sad to see such negativity toward MS" and there was maybe one or two negative comments followed by a circle jerk about how good MS and their software is.

Microsoft has historically been one of the worst tech companies for tech enthusiasts. We can ignore all the awful things they did in the 90's that stifled open standards (because apparently that doesn't matter anymore?) and just look at 2013, when they were exposed to have been participating in the NSA PRISM project. That means there is a whole team at MS that worked on a secret government project to help violate our fourth amendment rights. Even much of congress didn't know about NSA mass data collection, but Microsoft did.

People who trust MS these days are either naive or employed by them.
Ask HN: What's the story behind Git vs. Mercurial war?
A poor 1 to 1, performed because someone further up the chain has said they should be, can definitely be like that. You sit down, everyone says things they already know, and then you all walk away feeling like the time was wasted.

A good 1 to 1, with a manager who actually cares, can be fantastic. Until my last boss I'd written them off as a waste of time, but these days I'll actively seek them out. Good one to ones feel like a conversation, talking about how things are, what's working, what's not, maybe a heads up of potential projects with the aim of getting your input on them. When I left my last job I think my favourite one to one was the last one I did with my boss, I went in fully expecting it to just be "not much point in this", and ended up with a ton of advice on my new job, and how to best use my strengths in a different environment.

A truly great one to one does take a really good manager, and is helped along by a decent relationship with that manager, but you're doing yourself a disservice not to try and nurture that.

Speaking in general, _not_ particularly about UK, I wish people stopped voting against and started voting for something. Voting against is like crying in fear because the doctor is going to give you an injection. Voting for is the mature adult who thanks God that an injection is going to cure him.

The crazy thing about protectionist policies is that they've been favored in the US by manufacturing interests for over 200 years while being opposed by just about everybody else. Free trade has actually been one of the long standing tenants of the Republican party in my lifetime, which is why having Trump come along as the nominee while promising protectionist policies...and subsequently landing the entire rust belt...was such a crazy thing politically.

I'm only mentioning this because you said India was forced to "liberalize" it's economy, which is a definition I'd have associated with the protectionist policies.

Not really arguing anything here, just making an observation on language.

It would be naive to assume large companies always make the right decisions, which is why few people do that.

However, when you see that a large company is doing something in a way that you thing is silly or strange, the logical thing to ask first is "what do they understand that I don't understand?". It won't always be the case, of course, but most of the time it will turn out you were missing something.

Assuming off the bat that they are idiots and you know a better way is staggeringly naive.

Barrier of entry for newcomers, motivation for innovation and profit when you get an effective monopoly or undeservedly large portion of the market share.

Also, greater potential by those companies to exploit both customers and workers if those customers and workers have little other choice.

The competition introduced by freer capitalist economic systems greatly reduces abuse and increases innovation by necessity. Complacency and abuse lead to failure in the market (though, obviously, imperfectly and often greatly delayed depending on various factors, which is where regulations and other things come into play).

I've always had the wrong birth date on Facebook because I'm not comfortable with sharing too much personal information with that company. So people have been congratulating me on the wrong date. Which doesn't bother me at all because keeping track of peoples birthday is impossible. But I've gotten the impression from some that I've broken a taboo and that they think it is deceptive of me to have the wrong birth date displayed.

> it's the fear of reduced social contact (or dopamine withdrawal more likely) that was stopping me.

Yeppp. I know exactly how you feel, brother. I gave up Facebook for New Years and will be deleting my account after I set up a blog so I have somewhere to blow off steam and tell bad jokes.

The compromise that helped me overcome the feeling of being cut off was that I will have an open comments section and email address, if my friends really want to stay in touch then they will take time out of their week to come say hi.

It's a lot harder than people think. And the last season of South Park was no joke... When I announced I was leaving Facebook, many people were shocked and genuinely concerned for me. They asked me if it was really necessary, if I couldn't just use it less.

But that isn't an option, it's all or nothing and within a few months I will never let Facebook save another cookie on my computer again.

But I know the concern is partially because they understand exactly what is going on in my mind but they don't see a way out. It's really depressing.

For the hell of it I briefly checked my feed last week and I felt like a recovering junkie, visiting their old friends and seeing for the first time what their lifestyle really looked like from the outside.

30, haven't been to a dentist in 9 years. Scared to go, but no pain or bleeding. I brush every other day...

That being said, I've had a lot of work done -- the front to half of most of my teeth is fake. The fake enamel saved my molars. I know this because my last dentist was a preventative and let's fixa problem when it is a problem type, not an aggressive one.

I do not understand why fake enamel is not standard. It works -- I'm proof. It's almost like dentist want you to suffer and use their services.

The larger context is that India was a very protectionist economy for many years and that led to economic stagnation. It's called the "License Raj". A more derogatory term that you'll more commonly find in older material is "Hindu rate of growth".

Well, if you are NOT the company leader of the Estonian one then it's like an investment and I think you don't have to pay taxes or much less taxes. But if you ARE the company leader and decide what to do on Estonian one you are doing business with an offshore company in German eyes. It get's more complicated (not less if you live in Germany!) because you have to prove everything to German tax authorities no matter if you pay no salary to yourself... there is also some kind of law that you cannot just create a company abroad and be safe not to pay taxes in Germany (don't know the name of the law currently, sorry).
This is highly related to the Master Project we are doing at university right now. Trying to make games that have players using a relaxation technique in a playful way.

Exciting stuff.

This is the first I've heard of it. Just like I said before, if the Windows UI were really that hated and unpopular, this thing would be common knowledge and selling like hotcakes. It isn't. Maybe the word just hasn't gotten out enough, but I doubt it.

I do have to say, $9.99 is a pretty good price for this. But this again reinforces my point: if people really hated the Win10 UI that much, a $10 purchase should be nothing to fix it.

Also, I only looked over the link cursorily, but does this fix the whole Metro interface? That's my big complaint with Win10; when you're on the regular desktop, it isn't much different from Win7. It's when you want to load a new program, or use the Settings, or stuff like that you suddenly find yourself in the purple hell that is the Metro UI. If this Windowblinds program is only letting you skin the desktop stuff and not changing the whole start menu, then it's not really fixing the problem, just making the crappy, clunky Win7 desktop more pleasant to use.

Properly Ground your Circuits
Maybe you could try the learning program's approach?

Think about the memory that triggers regret/shame, then decide whether and what you should do differently in the future to make better decisions in similar situations.

After that, maybe you you can look back on the event as a "lesson well learned" instead of "ohmygodohmygodohmygod that's so embarassing I can't believe I did that I'll never open my stupid mouth again".

See also Argentina. They've brought in lots of manufacturing to their country, but the high costs on imports has a significant and negative impact on the people. This is also why many middle class Argentines do a lot of shopping abroad, now that the taxing on bringing things back through customs have been relaxed. Which, in turn, will have a negative impact on the economy: less local shopping means local retail (local to the nation, not necessarily "local") will be hurt.
Globalization means there's a race to the bottom to see what country can make things the cheapest. It means labor laws and expecting good treatment of employees makes a country uncompetitive, and makes local income equality nearly impossible.

Granted, it is also the world's most powerful method of wealth creation, but that doesn't mean much when the people without capital don't see the rewards.

The educated are themselves special interests, even if not paid by external sources

And too close a following to the "educated" leads to the rise of your special interests; if it wasn't possible to turn the minds of many by using only a few, there wouldn't be anything worth intercepting

The trouble, i think, is that we assume the educated are educated, when they are not, and the educated are sincere, when they are not, and the educated are made of higher moral fiber, when they most certainly are not.

Political discourse across divides is difficult, which is why even the topic of what time politics should have on HN leads to heated words.

If you think conversations on political issues are worth having, engage sincerely, and with an abundance of civility.

If you don't think it's possible, please refrain from making the situation worse. Creating throwaway accounts to complain or "speak truth" is just noise. No one reading your comment is going to wake up and say, "You know, I have been intellectually dishonest. I better fix that." You only reinforce the cynical idea that communication is impossible, which is what's dividing so many of us today.

It's possible Fatal Famililal Insomnia kills you by some other mechanism, and the sleeplessness is just a symptom, I figure. I don't think we know that the sleeplessness is the thing that kills you.

"Like all prion diseases, FFI is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which means over time there are fewer neurons (nerve cells). Loss of neurons in the thalamus, as well as other mechanisms not yet fully understood, cause the symptoms of FFI."

"Although the main target of FFI is the thalamus, other parts of the brain are affected as well including the inferior olives. The inferior olives are part of the medulla oblongata and are important for coordinating our movements (motor control). Losing neurons in the inferior olives can make it harder for a person to control their movements as seen in later stages of FFI."

When your whole brain is going haywire due to neuron loss, attributing death to sleeplessness seems premature.
>That computer, armed with the company’s proprietary wiping software, uses a special algorithm to programmatically access each bit on the drive, stored as either a ‘0’ or ‘1,’ and write a new digit to it. The process must be repeated at least three times and with different numbers to be up to DoD standards.

Maybe a stupid question, but why don't they just write every bit to either 1 or 0 regardless of its current content? Are they trying to preserve some data and not others? Why do you need to do it multiple times if the bit being written is independent of the actual contents?

I don't use it because it requires that I switch back. My wife won't be bothered to deal with learning the people-switcher (there's no reason she should, it's really her laptop in question), so using incognito means that once I close the window, it's clean again. It's a lot easier to remember to close the window than it is to remember to switch back to her account.

The option I finally chose to go with, is to install firefox on her computer as well. Firefox is for me, Chrome is for her. I'm an FF guy anyway. The main UX problem stands, though, it's too easy to be the wrong person.
