I'm a diehard Vim fan. I use Vi-motion keybindings everywhere. System-wide. In every single tool I use. I don't ever touch arrow keys. I don't need to. I rarely have to use touchpad. It feels empowering to be able to do things the way I do. I don't think anymore about how and what I need to do to get quickly where I want to be - I just intuitively do it. This is probably how controlling things with your mind would feel. The downside? I can't work using one hand anymore. It just feels weird.

Vim is awesome. It's not an editor - it's a lifestyle. It's telling the machine who's the boss. It's staying "in the zone". It's cutting through the code like slicing butter with hot knife.

So, one day I woke up. I realized that Emacs can be better Vim than Vim. Hold on. Before throwing stones at me do one thing: give an honest and heartfelt try to Spacemacs. I guarantee it - you will be amazed.
The SR71 literally leaked fuel until it reached operating temperature. It had something crazy like 2 minutes to rendevous with a tanker after takeoff.
If childcare costs that much why not just hire a full-time nanny?
Liquid fuel rockets use Surface tension against the slosh baffles to hold fuel in partially full fuel tanks in place.

Ullage motors are used to settle the fuel at the bottom of the tanks, so the main motor pumps can get to it.

Once the main motor starts providing acceleration, the ullage motors are no longer required.

For cross tanking, keeping the ullage motors running for long enough to transfer all the fuel, without the main motors running might be prohibitive.

Political economist Mark Blyth recently proposed an explanation for this [1].

He suggests that phenomena on the scale of climate change - i.e quadrillions of gallons of water entering the ocean - are something that our brains have a hard time contemplating on a day to day basis, because we haven't evolved to think about things that happen on that scale.

It would be great to have a new modern open source email app on iOS, Android and desktop OS. I want a GMail app clone (conversation view), but open source (= doesn't phone home to the creator) that works with IMAP.

Vivaldi browser (unofficial Opera successor) is working on an HTML5 powered email app, though will it be open source?

On Android there is open source K9Mail app but it's pretty old fashion, no conversation view.

I envision a new lean Mozilla browser (like Firefox was to Mozilla Suite back then) based on Rust powered Servo-HTML-engine and a HTML based UI. Additionally an email app addon would fit in my vision.

I'd be interested to see the cost of compliance versus the subsidy. The federal government puts an awful lot of strings on financing for schools given the relatively low percentage of overall funding they pay.

I'd like to see some state somewhere turn down the money and see what they can do with the extra flexibility.

> I'd fire someone if they'd been a harasser in the past

This news of harassment comes not from Google, but from several anonymous sources. Google declined to comment, and the man himself said that the story wasn't true.

If there was no definitive proof, and the openly stated reason is that he wanted to retire, why would you fire somebody who was merely accused of being a harasser? That makes you a larger coward than somebody who keeps somebody who's under fire.

Even if the claims were substantiated, people do change, and I don't think that one sexual harassment claim should be sufficient to torpedo your entire career. What's next, putting them on a registry and making them wear a scarlet letter on their chest?

This whole thing is a witch hunt.

I looked and the 40% federal rate kicks in at $500k, I thought it was lower. So you're more correct than I am.

45-50% is a better total estimate for a total tax rate.

The last dollar made is taxed at 53% (40% federal, 13% CA), so that's why the 60% number didn't sound horribly off. This is also ignoring FICA and SS taxes, which it's far too late to do the math on :)

Obviously I can't speak for the affected people, and different people will react differently to a similar event, that said, if it happened to me, I do think I could excuse it, but not forgive it. That is, I'd be willing to "take one for the team". But then again, having been robbed at gunpoint in highschool, while kind of scary hasn't scarred me measurably.

As another example, I knew women who complained about sexual harassers to me, but as I encouraged them to seek out HR and report, they said the harassment, in their estimation, didn't warrant getting their supervisor in trouble, that they could handle it. Different people have different tolerances and different ways to address unfavorable circumstance.

If you're on Android, I've found a set of tricks which work for this pretty well.

Ingredients:

1. Termux App.

2. Termux API App.

3. Termux CLI utilities. apt install termux-api

4. Python: apt install python

5. youtube-dl: pip install youtube-dl

6. VLC App. Install from app store.

7. A set of shell functions for clipboard and application access:

alias xc='termux-clipboard-set'
alias xp='termux-clipboard-get'
open ()
{
termux-share "$@"
}

I'll generally download videos to the Download folder, which I've symlinked from the Termux home directory:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 u0_a204 u0_a204 29 Apr 26 2016 Download -> /storage/emulated/0/Download/

Oh, and how did I get those functions and aliases?

(alias | egrep x[cp]; typeset -f open) | sed s/^/ / | xc

(Pre-formatted for HN's code block.)

With all of that, you can download and play, in one swell foop, a video (assuming you know the output format you prefer -- something you can set as a youtube-dl preference):

open $( youtube-dl -f 18 "$(xp)" | awk -F':' '/Destination/ {print $2}' )

Or you can fetcha whole slew of content and queue it up on VLC.

I'd still prefer to be able to use a commandline audio player with controls rather than the GUI client. There's a very simple "play-audio" command, but it has no controls -- <ctrl>-C to end is about it, even backgrounding doesn't actually stop playback.

I've messed with the sox "play" command, but it doesn't have an assigned audio device, and I've been unable to convince it that such a thing exists (see StackExchange posts regarding Android for similar issues/discussions).

that's a "strawman" as well. Every law is oppression, the real question is what degree of oppression is justified for the good of society
Perhaps, but good luck getting people to do that.

I don't think the climate change "argument" the American society is currently having is about whether the probability of its existence is 0 or 1; it's about whether it's 0 or not 0.

I don't know when WebSQL would be better than other storage alternatives, but yes, you could easily add WebSQL storage :)

The rationale behind the new architecture is to make it trivial to write new backing storages - see https://github.com/marcuswestin/store.js#write-your-own-stor... for a quick explanation of how you'd do that.

This is also true for adding new functionality, which sits "on top of" the storage (and is agnostic to whatever particular storage is being used). Here's a list of plugins that come out of the box: https://github.com/marcuswestin/store.js#list-of-all-plugins, and here is a quick explanation for how you'd write your own plugin: https://github.com/marcuswestin/store.js#write-your-own-plug...

This seems to be common in highly competitive companies. Uber has been ruthless and that has helped them grow so fast while ignoring these complaints. This cannot go on for long.

Peter dies three weeks later.

As far as I can tell, he says that the harassment wasn't harassment, and that there are two sides to every story. He does not dispute that this is the reason he left Google. At least as far as I've read, please (I'm being serious) correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Yeah, if someone left a company because of a harassment complaint, I think there's a much better than even chance that they actually did harass someone. I believe that fabricated complaints comprise a very small minority of all such complaints. I would not want my employees being harassed. So there is no way I would hire someone who I knew had departed their previous company due to a harassment complaint, since that's equivalent to accepting a high likelihood that one is hiring a harasser. I might give someone a chance if they had one way back in their past and had otherwise apparently cleaned up their act/showed contrition.

> That makes you a larger coward

Sorry, not clear on how it makes me cowardly to put the safety and security of my employees before the interests of likely harassers seeking a job at my company.

> make them wear a scarlet letter on their chest . . .

You seem a lot more concerned for the harassers' well-being than the people being harassed. I don't share this ordering of priorities with you.
What I've noticed is that folks are taking a pretty healthy mistrust of the establishment and turning it into the opposite extreme without realizing what they're doing. Instead of maintaining skepticism towards both the establishment and anti-establishment (of which Trump was a part), they do two things:

(1) elevate their moderate mistrust of the establishment into total, exhaustive mistrust (i.e., they assume everything from the establishment is a lie with a malicious motive).

(2) place total, exhaustive trust into the anti-establishment (i.e., Trump is perfect, every cabinet pick is perfect, every EO is perfect, everything Spicer says is completely true, everything Trump says is completely true, etc.).

It's this extreme warping of trust which causes people to be so incredibly susceptible to genuine fake news.

When you combine (1) and (2), you end up with conspiracy theories and lots of people who sincerely believe them with no evidence. The idea that Clinton is/was running pedophilia and child sex trafficking rings out of pizza shops is a great example.
The Plastic Battery That Doesn’t Explode
Glad to see Uber has taken actions to fire Singhal. He well deserves this. Sexual harassment should not be tolerated anywhere anytime. Singhal is such a hypocrite. He says “Harassment is unacceptable in any setting” while he did it himself at Google(Of course he denies it but Google's internal investigations found it credible). He said he wanted to focus on philanthropy while he joined Uber less than a year after he left Google.
It's extendable and "modifiable". Being written in javascript, you can do all sorts of hacks around the code while not even modifying the source code itself, but using the APIs/other means around it for customization. JS injection, monkey patching, es6 Proxy, etc. Probably doesn't apply with that specific one, but putting a custom CSS onto something also qualifies to be "hackable". Basically all the web/webview based apps can be marketed like that if they don't specifically restrict such thing.
But you forget the class structure of belief. At the top are pushers who dictate a reality to those below them. They don't buy into myths and instead use them. Watch a US senator spew lies and his supporters lap it up. The senator doesn't actually believe the lies, he just uses them to advance whatever agenda he thinks best. The senator thinks he is doing good because his agenda is better regardless of what he needs to do to sell it. The people trust and believe. They find it comforting. Everyone participates even though a chosen few do not believe.

This class structure worked well enough for generations, although lately it is running off the rails. The top pusher appears to actually believe the myth. The monkeys is now his own grinder and nobody knows what will come of it.
Great deal - if you are an insider with shares then sell all of them. This thing is hyper-valued.
There's been a good deal of play, flex and slop in the interpretation of "use the same algorithm" for some of those tasks.

KMS – open source Ruby on Rails CMS for developers
Introducing recently open sourced CMS - http://getkms.com

How it works and what's inside:

- Ruby on Rails app with embedded frontend (admin section) based on Angular.js

- Recommended DB - PostgreSQL

- In admin section there's templating language called Liquor (very similar to Liquid)

- Very minimal "core" - Templates, Pages, Snippets, Assets

- Extendable via Rails Engines

- There are several extensions already written

- The most powerful - KMS Models (allowing to define custom Models and its fields in admin section, and output it via Liquor)

You can think of it as self-hosted Shopify but for any type of website. :-)

There was a paper posted on HN a few weeks back by some pretty serious security researchers on the security risks of SSL MITM boxes.

https://jhalderm.com/pub/papers/interception-ndss17.pdf

How do you fix this when you're naught but a humble employee? Well, a friend of mine worked at a fairly large tech company where a salesguy for these boxes had convinced the CTO they had to have them. Every tech-person "on the floor" hated the idea, so before the boxes were installed they conspired on their free time to write some scripts that ran lots of legitimate HTTPS traffic, effectively DDOSing the boxes and bringing the company's internet to a crawl for the day, like Google would take ten seconds to open. Then obviously everyone (including the non-tech people) started calling the IT helpdesk complaining that the internet was broken. MITM box salesguy then had to come up with a revised solution, costing 20x more than his first offer, and that was the end of that.

If you already are suffering under MITM boxes, a similar strategy with a slow ramp-up in traffic might work.
