It's a natural reaction, avoid the hugh and costly efforts. But, at least in France, the impact of these buildings, in none wealthy [1] places, led to very deep social problems. Racism, poverty, insalubrity..

We launched Music Video Dispenser on HN roughly two months ago (previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13308820 ). At the time we rendered videos on the client using the brand new MediaRecorder web api. Now we've moved rendering to the cloud using MediaRecorder in a headless Firefox instance instead so we can guarantee perfect 60fps full hd videos without frame drops!

As a legal processes, the definition and order or procedures vary wildly between different countries.

Some countries for example charge you with a crime, but don't actually arrest you until they're bringing it to trial. Some countries don't have a prosecution, or a defence but a system where multiple government officials advocate for the truth.

You can set up a legal system anyway you want, and define the terms however you like---it'll be legal and valid in your country.

5 Questions you need to ask before opting for Reverse Mortgage
The only way unethical behavior affects profit is when it causes projecting the appearance of being an ethical company to become more expensive. To whatever extent that "people" avoid doing business with companies that they see as unethical, what they see is a company's image and branding, not their actual behavior. The balance is between unethical behavior and PR costs, not unethical behavior and ethical behavior; and that's even a gross simplification, because ethical behavior doesn't immunize you from bad PR.
It is well-known that Aldi pays its emloyees pretty well (at least in the usual European countries). But they have few employees per shop. These are expected to work really hard and long hours and are expected to do everything necessary to keep the shop running (complaining that something is not part of what you were hired for is not allowed). In German TV there have been complaints about the hard work and long working hours, but none about the pay.

The pay is even so good that when Aldi expanded to Switzerland, there were lots of people who feared or complained preliminarily that Aldi would reduce the average wage level of the region. The opposite happened: After Aldi opened some shops in Switzerland there were people who complained that Aldi pays more for shelf stockers than lots of other professions after four years of hard apprenticeship:

So? Below average IQ doesn't mean that your opinions are valueless and shouldn't be taken into account.

We all have to live with one another, and to make a system of government work with peaceful transitions of power, everyone must feel as if they have a voice.

High IQ, high education, high wealth, and other social advantages can be leveraged into making side-channels in the political system (e.g. lobbying), or by shaping the discussion the general electorate sees (e.g. overton window) in order to direct it towards ones goals.

Democracies have all been implemented with specific factors to make them viable in today's society, not some idealised society.

I'd say the Research Universities, Medical Technology, Robotics, and Travel Technology that comes out of Boston is significantly ahead of Silicon Valley.

Automotive and related tech is quite small even with Tesla in the bay area. The number of automotive technology jobs is quite small. Automation technology from cars is picking up, but I doubt the number of jobs is very high in comparison to Detroit, Stuttgart, or Nagoya

There are a lot more aerospace outside of Silicon Valley with Aerobus and Boeing having little presence in California.

Google is #3 in cloud technology compared to Seattle/Redmond with AWS and Azure with significant marketshare advantage.

Amazon is 45% marketshare in US for online commerce. Logistics technology for them is mainly built in Seattle and Boston. Not much for Amazon going on in Silicon Valley. Alexa not made in Silicon Valley.

I'm still quite surprised people still believe Silicon Valley + SF lead in technology.

I have the Advanced Bionics Harmony BTE. Since my implant is AB, I wouldn't be able to get the Nucleus Freedom 6.

I have an in-ear mic, which does wonders for reducing surrounding noises and also for letting me use a phone normally, but my main issue is with the software itself; I've had issues with it since implantation and they've always been pooh-poohed by audiologists at Hopkins, Tokyo University, and Toranomon. The biggest problem is that it seems to operate on some kind of averaging system -- when there's a noise that's louder than the recent average, everything just cuts out for a few seconds. This is especially noticeable in the morning, where I've just woken up and am trying to get to work, but there are cars and trains etc. making noise and making my hearing cut in and out constantly, which not only drives me up the wall but gives me a terrible headache.
Plus it's slow and riddled with bugs and good luck getting a PR accepted. I love it.

I completely agree with the general point, however at the minimum this lets client and server share the same exchanged models ( what the server sends to the client is defined once, as well as the opposite).

There may be technologies like protobuf to define those structures in one place, but i can still imagine there are cases where it could be useful ( business rules and validation, etc).

> Not being able to disable updates certainly does not make the life of power users easier.

Quite honestly, if you truly believe that as a power user you cannot completely disable upgrades in Windows 10, then you are not the type of power user who should be playing with such settings. It may sound cruel to the individual but opposed to the spectre of millions of Windows bot net units i consider it a net kindness to the rest of humanity.

As for the settings, in win10 you don't even need to remember where they are. You can just type into the start menu what you need for all the commonly accessed things, or right click the start menu to get all the classic stuff you're used to.

yeah

be careful though, the hardware selection relies on trial and error quite a bit, devices have to support things like MSI interrupts, the board has to have proper ACS support, bios support has to be there, and so on

Sure it is. 'This' is a terrible way describe an article. In fact it leaves to the imagination what the scam is about, it might as well be another run of the mill phishing email for all I know. The point here is to make me click to find out what it refers to, therefore, clickbait. To increase this effect they start off with 'everyone is falling for', which signals urgency but again doesn't convey anything about the scam's nature.
If you abstract away the clickbait you end up with 'effective gmail scam'.

This is on fortune.com by the way, I'm not calling you out. The submission title is the same as the article's, but that one is trash.
That would make having an SMS-capable phone nearby a hard requirement to simply login to some service. I am fine with offering additional authentication methods — if they are safe enough for that application — but dismissing passwords as a concept (unless you are scaling up to proper 2FA, e.g., Fido U2F) just means losing users for no good reason.

The human capital of id was valuable, but I think you are underselling their brands and technology. 150 million for the ownership of some of the most iconic brands (Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein) in FPS gaming doesn't seem that expensive, especially considering that it's much easier to sell many copies of a game in a well known franchise than to to sell games in a new franchise. The latest Doom sold over a million copies, Wolfenstein; The New Order sold over a million copies, the latest "Quake" (Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars) probably sold over a million copies as well.

In terms of human capital, Carmack is one of the most respected technologists in gaming, but I'm sure ZeniMax didn't expect him to stay with them for a very long period. At the time id was bought by ZeniMax it seemed like Carmack was spending a lot of time on Armadillo Aerospace too.

In terms of tech it seems id wasn't the leader it used to be anymore (their early engines were used by Half-Life and CoD), taking into consideration Unreal Engine 3, Crytek Engine (being used for Bethesda's own Prey, the previous installment running on idTech) and Unity.

Yes, I believe there are scenarios where completely disabling updates is desirable. But more importantly, I believe in having a choice which updates to install while not disabling the updates altogether.

Wow, I'm in the startup world and haven't heard of half the stuff you mentioned. The other half is my bread and butter.

HN may not be the best place to get a sense of which technologies are worth using because it tends to mix the broadly used stuff with the new shiny that's just a flash in the pan.

I would start by asking how much it is you feel you should know about each of these technologies, and why. Nobody can or does know of every single tool or framework of service that's out there, let alone understand them in depth. But you can probably get "what it is, and what do most people use it to accomplish" in under 5 minutes for each one a client brings up. Then there may be one or two per client that are worth learning in depth.

For instance, github is just version control hosting for git. If you work with client code, it's probably worth your while to be able to accomplish basic operations in git, even if you don't master it yet. But knowing github beyond a basic understanding of browsing websites is probably not worth your time.

Similarly, if you're deploying software for a client that uses puppet and nginx, you'll need a working knowledge of both (skimming the docs lightly is a good place to start for a new technology - you don't have to memorize every detail but get a sense of what it's capable of and what the terminology is that is uses so that when you're troubleshooting you know how to ask questions and which parts of the docs to return to).

But if you're just writing a new feature for the client's application, or troubleshooting their database indexes, probably all you need to know to be productive is that nginx is a web server and puppet is a tool for automating server management.

No. The point is that there is zero protection for customers getting cancelled by the host at last minutes. This would be about the worst thing that can happen on your hard earned vacation, especially if you are traveling with families. Customers can't even leave a review! All the while there is asymmetry that customers will be punished if they cancelled at last moment on host.

The US obviously isn't perfect. It has a very sordid past. It's just that it's sordid past isn't any worse than others (this is a human problem) and at its best it does stand for something - continual progress.

You are also absolutely incorrect on numbers of Native Americans or blacks killed vs the Nazi actions. The Nazis killed tens of millions systematically, not even counting incidental casualties.

The Native Americans were not systematically wiped out. The vast majority died prior to contact with Europeans due to simple disease. There's really no contesting this, all you can do is contest the numbers. Something like 50+% (conservative numbers) of the NA population pre-contact was killed by disease.

Many Native American tribes experienced great depopulation, averaging 25–50 percent of the tribes members lost to disease. Additionally, smaller tribes neared extinction after facing a severely destructive spread of disease.[2] The significant toll that this took is expounded upon in the article Population history of indigenous peoples of the Americas. A specific example was Cortes' invasion of Mexico. Before his arrival, the Mexican population is estimated to have been around 25 to 30 million. Fifty years later, the Mexican population was reduced to 3 million, mainly by infectious disease. This shows the main effect of the arrival of Europeans in the new world. With no natural immunity against these pathogens, Native Americans died in huge numbers. The eminent Yale historian David Brion Davis describes this as "the greatest genocide in the history of man. Yet it's increasingly clear that most of the carnage had nothing to do with European barbarism. The worst of the suffering was caused not by swords or guns but by germs."[9] By 1700, less than five thousand Native Americans remained in the southeastern coastal region.[4] In Florida alone, there were seven hundred thousand Native Americans in 1520, but by 1700 the number was around 2000.[4]

That of course does not deny the past. The US mistreated natives and exploited them, there is no doubting this.

Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions have literally never publicly made a statement supporting genocide. The gap between reactionary politics and genocide is vast. Has Trump at age 70 ever even killed a man? Where does this idea that he's going to become genocidal comes from? How can you equate his actions (no deaths) to something which killed tens of millions?
