Okay, I went and read it, and GP appears to be right. The basis for the whole thing is "a little tool to help me scrape the posts of my competitors and publish them to my group on a regular basis" upgraded and offered to others in a SAAS model. Don't get me wrong, the engineering is decent, the marketing is brilliant (if questionable - if you mention that you're exploiting a loophole to message clients, maybe you are actually spamming), and the whole thing is well executed. None of that gets around the fact that this is all built around a tool that literally exists to automate plagiarism.
You specifically compared it with Nazi brownshirts (which were a paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party). Your reasoning is that "isn't it strange there were no arrests"? Sorry, that's not the level of discussion I'm used to on HN.
> As for chronic depressives believing "something is wrong with them", why do you think they believe so? Because they are innately aware of that fact, or is it nothing more than a conditioned response? There is a __MASSIVE__ difference between "I know I'm not normal" and "Others say I'm not normal, ergo I must not be normal".

Just so we're clear, you're asking why I said something I didn't say. What I said was that a chronic depressive is capable of being aware of their illness, not necessarily that they are aware.

With that out of the way, let's consider a hypothetical conversation between a depressive A and two healthy people B and C.

A: Man, it's really difficult to get out of bed every morning, isn't it?

B: Yeah, getting up early is tough.

A: I don't mean just that, I mean just getting motivated to even get up.

C: Uh, not really. There's stuff that needs to get done.

A: So you don't have any problems getting motivated to get up?

C: Not generally, no.

B: Yeah, me neither.

A: Next you're gonna tell me that you've never considered killing yourselves.

B and C: No, never.

A: Huh. Must be just me, then.

Likewise, a colorblind person can realize that other people are experiencing light differently without being directly told.

> As for your analogy regarding cats... give me a break. Cats see you solely as a giver of food and oft unwanted affection. That doesn't mean that's all you are. Or... maybe that's exactly all you are, a dumb moving object whose only purpose is to dispense food. Perspective is everything.

That analogy was in response to your point that "no mentally ill person calls themselves that". Now you're changing the subject to how other people view mentally ill people.

But anyway, basically your only argument is that reality is subjective, and there's no way to judge whose delusion is the illness, and that's BS. If you believe that the world is ruled an all-powerful Jesuit organization when there's no reason to believe this, and this belief causes you to endanger yourself or others, then that's an illness. The criterion is based on the effects of the belief, not on the belief itself.
Zeit has eye opening article Adolf Hitler : "Wait Calmly"

http://www.zeit.de/wissen/geschichte/2017-02/adolf-hitler-ch...

They describe how journalists, even big liberal newspapers, big-business representatives, and conservatives had all the same illusion that Hitler would be something that could be managed and lived trough. Business leaders and conservatives aligned with him because there seemed to be some common interests they could work trough together.

""In the Frankfurter Zeitung, politics editor Benno Reifenberg expressed doubt Hitler had the "social competence" for the office of chancellor, but didn’t think it was out of the question that the responsibility of his office might transform him in ways that could earn him respect. Like Theodor Wolff, Reifenberg described it as "a hopeless misjudgment of our country to believe a dictatorial regime could be forced upon it." "The diversity of the German people demands democracy," he wrote.""

Hitler needed only five months in power to change everything.
We should be afraid of both (I would even argue that the Trump phenomenon is a direct consequence of the normalization you mention).

In this case there is zero need for electronics on the robot. You can have a pure mechanical system with a fiber optic camera etc like a endoscope. Power as torc through a plumbers snake. It can then either carry a box with some sensor package, or take remote samples. For extreme radiation, you can put a Film badge dosimeter in a water tub to work out the radiation levels indirectly.
Using France as an example, a liter of organic milk at my local Super U is about €0.50 more expensive than the equivalent non-organic -- this is comparing the Super U store brand -- which should eliminate "branding" markup from the equation.

I like to think its architecture is what gave rise to the idea of having dedicated sound and graphics cards on all computers and game consoles.

I followed another path, settling on Windows, after a decade of UNIX.

The UNIX culture never seemed to be much welcoming to the demoscene culture, which had more points of contact with the gaming culture on Windows.

For a while in the late 90's there was a website that tried to be Poet for GNU/Linux. They never managed to have more than a few demos there.
But it's not organic is it? I'm sure across the street at Rainbow Market the gal will be organic and much much more than $6, but hey I dislike milk so it's just a rough guess :P

The argument above for walled-gardens is repugnant because its an argument for a totalitarian police state. Removing rent-seeking does not address anti-competitiveness or destruction of fundamental computational freedoms.

Gardens (safe curated places) are nice things to have but if you erect walls preventing us from leaving they become abusive. Rent-seeking is one of those abuses. Let us have many gardens and let them compete for our presence by the value they can bring.
> Copyright is also a legitimate concern

Spoken like someone with no understanding of the local market. ;)

Just as an example, until not that long ago VK was used to post music and films without any restrictions. I think this has now been stopped (not a VK user but there was a court case a few years ago about it and the government has since tightened copyright enforcement) but should give you an idea about how little concern people attach to copyright.

You should also keep in mind that copyright didn't exist in the Soviet Union as such, so the idea is quite alien to people and they are still getting used to it.

I've been recently thinking about this a lot. I think the critical year was 92/93 between the release of Wolfenstein3D and Doom. These were the PC's killer apps that showed everyone that a powerful generic hardware can be better than a highly specialised "hardware game engine" like the 8-bit homecomputers and later the Amiga and ST. But at this time the Amiga's architecture was already 8 years old and pretty much unchanged apart from the incremental 1200 update (just imagine what happened in the same time span after '93 on the PC!).

I have to disagree about the OS being limited, even by today's standard. It was sort of cobbled together under the hood, but the end result was unbelievable when you put it next to a PC or even Mac of the mid 80's to early 90's.

Even in 1990, when I was finally able to buy my own Amiga it was like alien technology (even compared to a Mac Plus, which was completely unaffordable).
If you read about the semantics of mounting a filesystem, particularly with regard to bind mounts, you realise that this is poorly abstracted. Mounting a filesystem and then binding it to a namespace are two separate actions. There is no API for the former.

POSIX added openat and related calls that operate relative to a specified directory descriptor, rather than the root of the mounted directory hierarchy.

It would also be possible to take this a step further and have calls which work with a filesystem descriptor and work on a filesystem independently of the mounted filesystem hierarchy. If it was possible to mount a filesystem without binding it (getting a filesystem descriptor), and then separately bind that filesystem into the mounted filesystem hierarchy using the descriptor. This would enable the direct use of a filesytem without it being bound, and that would allow for example private use of a filesystem by a process without it being globally visible, while might be useful for transient access to storage media without any potential for races (nothing else could open files or have a CWD in the filesystem).

I'll acknowledge that this is not strictly necessary, but it is an area where the underlying design is not well abstracted and is inflexible--sophisticated use of bind mounts is difficult, and the mount(8) dance to use them is terrible, all because it has to work around the lack of separation between mounting and binding.
Ask HN: Understanding how companies can be structured
Recently, there has been a lot of news about how companies are structured. Most of this has been in regards to how they are structured to avoid paying taxes in certain countries.

This has made me realise that I know almost nothing about how companies can be structured beyond simple limited liability companies, and very little about the laws governing these structures.

My question is, what is a good way to start learning about this? Does this fall under accounting, or law?

One way to phase this might be: "How would I become an expert in minimising tax obligations of companies?"
If you are going to make this argument (which seems more and more common because the original direct comparisons to Hitler fall flat), how does Trump match up to Hitler in the 20s and 30s?

Where is Trump's attempted coup? Where is Trump's Mein Kampf talking about living space in Eastern Europe and the greatness of Germany and his hatred of Jews? Where is Trump's paramilitary? That was all in place prior to 1930.

Hitler rose to power in a populace that wasn't just "liberal and educated" but had also been ruled by a jingoist elite since the Prussians came to power. Hitler was an ass but Wilhelm was just as bad in various ways and preceded him. The Wiemar Republic was a shaky government crushed by defeat and a broken economy. That's not America circa 2017.

What's comparable?

I don't dispute that Trump is full of hate and is self-serving and manipulative. I don't dispute he lacks tact and even a proper understanding of politics. But if you are going to pull up history, at least treat it with respect. Put it within it's context.

What scares me is if a politician did the exact thing Trump is doing but did it with more tact and with lies that were harder to point out, we'd applaud them. Play governments off of each other and play up identity politics of various kinds and lie to citizens for decades (as has been the American way) and nobody really complains, but someone comes to power who lies to your face instead of behind your back and he's Hitler? Bomb the hell out of countries and destabilize them and it is politics as usual but refuse those same countries entry and now we care?
Basically they found a tomb of a warrior buried on the mainland, and the manner of his burial (specifically the positioning of weapons/jewelry etc.) indicates that the mainland-based Mycenaeans were strongly aware of Minoan culture, and it's likely that the two cultures intermingled and may have together "shaped the culture of classical Greece".

This contradicts previous assumptions that the Mycenaeans were essentially barbarians compared to the Minoans, and had no real impact on anything important.
It's as relevant as the comparison the author of this article made between a man who committed genocide and a man who restricted entry into the country from 7 nations, between someone who started his political career with an attempted coup and someone who started his political career by winning an election.

But thank you for illustrating another drawback of Nazi-comparisons: they're almost always inaccurate.
I suspect his problem is more with Windows and its brain-dead font rendering. Vertical strokes are the ideal case for subpixel anti-aliasing on a typical LCD: you get 3x the horizontal resolution. On a typical 100dpi screen this gives you 300dpi horizontal resolution, which is around the low-end for print quality. On modern 200dpi "retina" displays, you get 600dpi horizontal resolution which is more than enough to make Computer Modern look good. But ClearType has a strong preference for aligning positions and sizes to whole pixels, giving you horrendous kerning and sudden large jumps in font size and apparent weight as you increase the requested font size.
App Store sometimes fails to find the app I am looking for, even if I know the name of the app.
Agreed -- Europe has all sorts of government-sanctioned price fixing. If the price of milk drops in France, the farmers starts to burn stuff and throw rocks.

However, in the US, agriculture subsidies are less transparent. But then again, in France, you get to pay high taxes AND pay higher prices.

The problem in France, from my perspective is that there is an obsession with 'saving farmers,' when many of them really ought to leave the market due to inefficiencies.

You see similar dynamics in Korea with rice import quotas -- high consumer prices for rice because rice farming has been a protected industry.

Henry Hazlit's "Economics in One Lesson" explains this idea pretty succinctly. Essentially "protecting" the special interest harms the general interest, but that harm isn't easily identified since your average consumer isn't protesting higher milk prices but farmers often violently or vocally protest lower milk prices.
Hitler was Hitler since the very beginning. Jews, Lebensraum, arian race... all is in a book he published in 1925.

And Trump/Putin are not profiling people by their race all the time.
Tangential, but: That was a rare example of advertising done right. The top banner, from Air Iceland, is served inline as it should be, not from some sleazy external ad-provider.

And here's the thing: It works. Made it past my uMatrix and various other filtering. And thus became probably the first internet ad for twenty years which I have knowingly clicked. Could the rest of the world please look and learn?

I'm really impressed with the new Peugot 3008 i-Cockpit system [https://youtu.be/5UapzN65V7Q?t=1m16s] and the general interior design. IMHO way ahead of the competition.

This is a really surprising development! The Peugeot leadership seems to be unafraid to think different, and I think great things are in store for the Ambassador brand. It was totally neglected for decades.
Let's speak plainly.

Are you suggesting that Trump intends to abolish democracy or commit genocide?
You are absolutely right, the entire ecosystem facilitates plagiarism. And I don't mean Postio only, Vk.com and all other Russian social platforms do very little to protect copyrighted content. In fact, they do nothing.

However, even in this ecosystem, I tried to do my best to deal with that issue by paying at least some attention to crediting the authors back by means of watermarks and negotiating the conditions upon which their content is taken.

This is the reason I asked to reread the article. Remember, it's the Russian market, and some things that will apply in the global market, simply don't apply there. Whether it's good or bad is besides the point of this article.

Thanks for the raising the question, it's absolutely legit.
Only in sections marked as unsafe.

In C every single line of code that manipulates pointers, does string operations, uses arrays or unsigned arithmetic is a possible cause of memory corruption.
You can't count on foreigners for this sort of thing. Even in liberal Vancouver they're lowering house prices by slapping a tax increase on foreign purchases.

It does seem likely millennials get screwed in any outcome but what else is new, the savvy ones already account for that.

I think if you inherit a large enough amount of wealth it's actually really difficult to squander unless you're intentionally trying to.
Exactly. Thanks for the clarification. I should have addressed this issue in the article, though.
Exactly. They could use a simple glass fiber cable. The technique is used in endoscopes, all the need is a 20m endoscope. How hard can it be to order or manufacture one. The camera then would sit outside on the other end.

Japan seems really not capable of handling the desaster at all. The shit is still leaking into the pacific ocean. It'ms mind blowing that US isn't helping ...as it's effects Hawaii and the west coast. And if they don't fix it, it will effect all connected oceans.

The Russians at least did a lot to fix the most major issues after Chernobyl. The sent in half a million of their own people as liquidators to clean up and cover it with lot of concrete and steel. And especially dug a tunnel below to make sure the shit doesn't eat itself down to the bedrock. And what does Japan? Nothing to speak of. Where are the Japanese people who fix the shit with their hand? They don't even know if the shit eats to the bedrock, nor in how many of their busted reactors on that site it is happening. They have to get over their cultural attitudes of "I could loose my face" and bribery. They need to fire all TEPCO staff and do it as a state owned disaster recovery operation with their army and with international help.

Can a country please take over this region and declare it as international desaster zone so tht other countries can start helping.
If you think of it as a 'guilt tax' it makes a lot more sense, and also the direction these stores need to go to improve profits. It's never really been about the food itself: it's been about selling a positive self image. It's a reaction to the abundance of media showing modern chicken coops and mass migrant vegetable labour.

Once you understand that, you understand why the label is the single most important thing, and the less real details supplied the better. Any details you supply serves to break the facade that the organic label means you're doing good deeds - because ultimately, you're still killing that chicken. It's why "efforts to broaden beyond just an organic label" are doomed before they begin and will hurt sales more than they help.
> you either pay the market rate for the most expensive market or you price yourself out of that market.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with pricing yourself out of the most expensive market, unless attracting the most in-demand employees (who are concentrated in the most expensive markets) is an existential matter for your company. This actually would let you pay generously compared to tier-2 markets and attract employees that want to leave the most expensive market or who would not even consider relocating to that market.

It is worth noting that the requirements for successfully working remotely preclude most of the lowest cost-of-living locations. eg. it is hard to get decent broadband in the boonies of the desert southwest, or in rural Appalachia.
This reminds me of the obvious: that we will probably never be able to play the advanced games being produced today in 20 years time (or even sooner than that). DRM and reliance on closed source server infrastructure will make it impossible. Decades of digital cultural heritage will be lost if we don't do something drastic.

What if game developers, Internet Archive and other forces created sort of a consortium (a bit like W3C) and created methods for sharing these infrastructures when development is stalling, servers closing and companies going bankrupt? In the best of worlds this future would be in the minds of the programmers when building the games.

That's why I asked you to reread the article (sorry, I should be more precise on the reason).
The Social Science of Success
Nothing goes exactly the same way as before. No analogy is perfect. Comparison to Hitler and Mussolini is best in their populist strategy.

Politically United States is extremely divided. Roughly 20-25 percent of Americans are very supportive to Trump. Among them are far right Christians who look up to Pence.

Trump has no need for goons on the street. Trump needs only one third of senate on his side and he can break all rules all the time with no consequences. Impeachment and Section 4 of the 25th Amendment rules both require 2/3 majority to remove the president. As long as DHS and major law enforcement organization choose WH over court decisions, Trump can enforce his rules despite constant constitutional crisis.

I think its unlikely that Trump goes this path and win, but I think that changes are hihg he might try (P=0.5) and there is real change that he may succeed for some time (P=0.2). When some terrorist attack or other crisis happens, Americans provide more support to their president than he deserves.
