Unless automation reduces the price of everything to free, we'll still have a market economy with supply and demand. Human demand is infinite, so the same forces that create jobs are still working.

If everything is free, then we're post-scarcity and work doesn't matter anyway.
AFAIK, they make this very clear if you ever try to use the mobile content that you're giving them access to all of your data. I think there's a sufficient amount of big scary warnings and from the way SpiderOak is designed it makes sense to me why a true mobile client wouldn't work out so well.
When I tried to learn Python the first time, it was with vim. I would not recommend that path (VS Code user now).
Should your UI framework ship with an IoC container? you wouldn't expect your ORM to do that, this is a separate concern. If your UI framework is to complicated to be used without the IoC container then there is an issue with it. Even Hibernate or Doctrine don't make using an IoC container mandatory.

So when you eliminate the IoC container, what is left? the router? it's OK but not fantastic. The databinding? again nothing special about it.

The directives and components? these 2 things are really why we are all using JS frameworks today (bonus for test-ability).

So the latter are good yes, but they are no better than React or Vue system. The framework that will succeed now is the one with the largest ecosystem of plugins and collection of components.

In that sense Angular4 is no more entreprisey than the competition.
Yes, doctors and hospitals will need to quote prices, otherwise consumers will take their business elsewhere. At least, that's what happens here in India.

Are Americans somehow unable to do the same?

Sophie Scholl's last words were, “How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?”

Hans Scholl's last words shouted from the guillotine were, ”Long live freedom!”
It's amazing how many people attempt to take the term "free speech" literally and avoid reading the few sentences in the actual amendment that provide context. Free speech is absolutely not the ability to say anything to anyone at any time.
Ah! Thanks much.
Fair point on Chettinad cuisine. There's a reason their variation of chilli powder is called gunpowder. :P
For some people it would definitely be sadism. I don't try and convince people I believe that would be true for to try it.

OTOH, watching a partner of mine play with movement commands after they'd internalised hjkl and spending the next half hour navigating around a document while giggling and grinning at me ... definitely demostrates that isn't universal.

I am, honestly, struggling to be polite after you called me making somebody I was in love with happy actively harmful and called my motivations into question rather than considering that there might me more than one way to learn it, but OTOH you're clearly acting in good faith so I hold no animus towards you for your mistake.
Just got my postcard as well! Sadly no signatures but lots of stickers. I love me some stickers. Really enjoying their service so far, and with them I can actually visually see what's happening (encryption and uploading) whereas SpiderOak makes it less clear / obvious.

I guess for me, people can be evil, corporations aren't themselves capable of evil without people.

One thing I would like to see more of is individuals who perform evil acts inside companies be held personally liable. To many walk away without any consequences, see Texaco and Venezuela.

In terms of slave owners, the person is evil, and so was the system. I suppose you have a point that corporations can be evil in some cases, but I'd generally say that is because of a lack of regulations to restrain them, but this is obviously a gray area.
This is why we can't have nice things

What was the nice thing here though?
Very much this: A system should be designed with the mindframe that the user won't be at 100%. Especially this, weirdly - because in a time of crisis, folks might not be at 100% even though they should be.

Its why some things just won't work unless put together just right - to account for people's mistakes. It'd make sense for a submarine to refuse to dive if the seals aren't sealed, for example. I'd think there would be something that could be applied even for this.
I use arq, and I can highly recommend it. It's definitely fast, but more importantly, it has an agent that works in the background, has a great UI, is highly configurable, unintrusive and light on the CPU load. I use arq with Amazon S3/Glacier, and the monthly bill is in the cents.
It has not recurred. I do deny them my essence.
Consumers aren't really necessary. The economy will just start to allocate resources to the people that still have money to spend. Like the rich people that own the robots, or the government. Think more yacht and tank factories.
Yes, since this isn't the headline of the actual piece, shouldn't this be flagged?
Yep.

Amusingly, Simon and I were working on the same codebase during Eventbrite's quarterly hackathon when this happened. He was working solo on one feature while myself and three other developers were working on another. Because we were collaborating, we had to commit frequently simply to stay in sync. Because he was working alone, he was able to avoid committing and get into a situation where figuring out the process in this gist was necessary.

Despite this distraction and 1/4 the personpower, Simon arguably still wrote something cooler than we did.
Yep. I installed uMatrix specifically for a previous article on this site. :P
I'd say "Why work for a tech company that pushes the externalities of high housing costs onto you by not allowing remote work" but I assume it'd be drowned out by the same sound as the rush of folks to grab shovels and pick axes during the gold rush era.

Housing in the Bay Area is like roads; build more and capacity will simply be soaked up. Either move elsewhere or accept the SV tax. No property owner in their right mind would vote for more building (depressing the value of, most likely, the largest asset they own).

TL;DR Vote with your feet, prefer remote first companies.
Only about half of eligible voters voted. Of those, slightly more voted Democrat than Republican, and a distant few voted for someone else.

Despite getting the second-most votes nationally, the geographic distribution of the Republican votes gained them quite a few more "electoral college votes" (i.e. winning points) than the Democrats. The electoral college system gives more power to the countryside than the cities, proportional to the population.

Note it says "free" and "government prepared". Setting aside that those are mutually exclusive concepts, that says nothing about simplifying taxes - it's just having the government do the complicated stuff instead of you (or your accountant).

The Hopeless Health Care Rip-Off
I'm not and I don't know what happened there. The number of fake-looking reviews went up to ~40 a few days after posting this Show HN, and then started disappearing shortly after. From my developer console stats they seem to have the same exact (older, uncommon) Android version as well, so pretty sure it's a single source. Not sure what kind of scam this is.
My father went through the same exact experience with psoriatic arthritis. Between dieting and medication he's been able to handle it, but it's always there. He can't really grip tightly with his hands anymore. It sucks, but I hope it helps to know there are people out there successfully dealing with the same struggle.
I'd say it depends on what you mean by "good". E.g. the Swedish system probably compares well to the US one in terms of (average) medical outcomes [1], but in terms of "customer satisfaction"... that's a different story.

(Personally I feel "real" / objective health is more important than the subjective "customer satisfaction" aspect of health care, but yea, I guess that's politics.)

Sure, but you are just one data point, not changing the fact many young people prefer the trade offs offered by city living.

I mean, your argument is pretty disingenuous, given your requirement of not being physically close to your neighbors. That pretty much violates the definition of the word "city".
> I am very doubtful that Intuit or H&R Block, for example, invest in security sufficient to protect themselves against that level of attack.

I can't speak to H&R Block, but I used to work for Intuit and I can attest that they took security very seriously. We were often subject to extreme security precautions despite the fact that the application I worked on didn't have any PII and the entire purpose of it was to make the information in our database available to the public and search engines. The rationale for forcing us to comply with the corporate security policies was that any breach of any Intuit service would be damaging to the Quickbooks and TurboTax brands. One of the reasons I left was because of the frustration with security compliance. The organization is incredibly slow moving on everything because the people in charge of security basically have carte blanche to shut down or delay projects until they've been properly screened. Intuit also doesn't cheap out on hosting either. I heard an internal rumor that they were spending $40m/yr serving TurboTax, and that didn't count the construction of the two dedicated data centers that they had built in previous years.

Whether their security is good enough to defend against a state-level adversary is hard to say, but my personal guess is that if you wanted to get at tax returns, it'd be easier for attackers to target the IRS directly, both because it'd probably be easier and you'd get access to the returns of 100% of Americans rather than just the percentage of Americans who use TurboTax Online. Keep in mind that most high-net-worth individuals don't use these online tools and, instead, have accountants and lawyers who prepare their returns.

Where Intuit has been vulnerable in the past has been in accepting fraudulent returns. For a while, you didn't need much more than an SSN and a few pieces of personal information to file a tax return, so identity thieves would file returns that had the highest possible refund and make off with that money. But that's not really a breach and I know they worked with the government in addressing that problem and I haven't heard much about it since.
You're still going at that?

To be clear, I don't mean to offend anyone religious, and am not saying this is the usual run of how religious people view the world. Unfortunately, there are many millions who do, and they tend to be loud, and politically organized.

That's what I actually said... maybe you'd have less trouble if you didn't invent things to respond to?
I've been thinking of closing my Facebook account, but I'd lose contact with so many friends and family. They don't use email or any kind of instant messenger any more, and nobody makes phone calls any more. If you're not on Facebook you might as well not exist.
Yes. Especially in an area like this that is already full of noise and confusion.

Why don't you step up and improve peoples understanding instead of baiting a low information comment?

I know voting turnout is sadly low, but that does not constitute people not participating in the process.

...It's the most basic level of participation; if that's not failing to participate in the process, what is? You're welcome to rail against the entirety of the history of who politicians are and how they behave, but it's at your peril.

In the same way that you can't just turn a computer on and leave it alone forever, you can't do the same thing with government. Politicians have always been, and will probably always been unrelentingly worthless scumbags.

There's no law of economics that says the value of human labor can't fall. When it falls below minimum wage you get unemployment.

Similarly, when horses became less valuable then the cost of feeding them, they were taken to the glue factory.
My friend likely worked with the prior generation. They were unwilling to go into any sort of detail. they did say, you don't want to be any where near one if the operators think you shouldn't be there. Their phrase was something like "There are extensive anti personnel defenses".
The UK has a similarly simple tax system as New Zealand. Taxes are taken out of pay every month, and that's it.

Every individual gets assigned a tax code, and that tax code defines how much is taken from your pay. That tax code takes in to account how many kids you have etc. etc.

The UK tends to approach tax deductions in a different way, preferring to subsidise stuff up front instead, so you never have to remember to file or figure out what your deductions are. You never paid out the money in the first place.
The government doesn't need your cooperation to collect a tax debt.

It does if they want to actually make a profit on collecting taxes. Those "bleed the beast" pricks, extreme LDS sects, etc... all seem to have little trouble withholding taxes. Could the government step up enforcement? Sure... but it costs money.
That's based on my years of experience in the information security industry. Trust me, if Intuit and H&R Block were being breached, I would know about it. And more than likely, so would you.

But your comment about identity theft, that's part of the "file it before someone else does" aspect. Not necessarily that Intuit is getting broken into, but the rampant identity theft that seems to be common and even acceptable in today's day and age is making it a lot easier to file someone else's taxes for them and then make off with the money. And hackers will always go for the easiest target.
Nope. They should get political as heck in this thread. It's a story about a person who was in an activist group for chrissakes.

It's funny -- the different perspectives among the generations. I never got an account and don't feel like I'm missing much (though my wife has one). But I suppose if I'd gotten used to sharing the minutiae of my life and seeing my friends'/family's, switching to life without it might be hard.
It wasn't due to NGO lobbying, and that's not currently in the source title.

I write python professionally and I use vim exclusively, but I have pylint + jedi plugins and could not imagine working without them.

I'm also not convinced that depriving new programmers of real-time syntax checking actually helps them learn. Wouldn't immediate feedback help them memorize the correct syntax?
The internet, freedom of speech. I know, we do actually have those things, its a facetious comment, but with a kernel of truth. Our freedoms rests more on personal respect and responsibility than the government and military. Once we pass a certain percentage of people who celebrate antisocial behavior, things just break down. Cities only exist because less than 1% of people think its ok to randomly throw bricks through windows or punch strangers. If that number creeps up to some other larger, but still very small percentage of people, cities just wouldn't be livable anymore. These guys just decided to troll this project, and went to extraordinary lengths to break the law and ruin someone else's dream. If more people did this type of thing, no one would feel safe expressing themselves or sharing information of any kind.
I was going for humour. I don't know how to change it.
When I read this, unfortunately I'm thinking "don't hate the player, hate the game". Lobbying is a double-edged sword, and it is a game played very well by the powerful and the rich.

While I doubt that anything could stop a truly determined and well equipped adversary, I would frankly not be shocked if the whole thing was basically packed in claymores facing out, just for starters. You won't care in that extreme about compromising the physics package; you'll already be scrambling every resource including NEST to the site. You just want to buy time, and there are a lot of ways you could do that.

Hell, maybe they include an EPFCG... that would be really clever.
I think the title is being satirical of the current state of web development, which is often needlessly complex.

"One weird trick" is something we associate with class of false advertisements. The irony is that we don't expect turning a website into an app to be easy, but it turns out it is.

Perhaps you were being humorous as well?
I am not struggling at all to be polite. There's rarely good reason to be impolite.

I meant actively harmful towards vim's reputation as a useful editor, not to the person you're in love with, whom of course I have not been acquainted with.

Your original comment gave me little context to judge your motivation other than "I told some people to disable their arrow keys". Which I find unnecessary, so I questioned your motivation: literally, I could not understand why you did that.
I noticed when I signed into Twitter via the Switch, it used the internal browser, which Twitter identified as Safari. Not sure what the actual User-Agent was, but the big N seems to have just pulled the browser code off the shelf (not surprising).
That's also an idea proposed for London City airport. It's prime real estate in a city desperate for more housing, it handles relatively few passengers, causes large amounts of pollution and noise problems, and its USP of being so central will be diluted when the faster trains to Heathrow are completed. On top of that, the airport doesn't actually make much money (in terms of £/area).

I wonder if it would make sense for an investor to buy the airport, shut it down and sell the land for housing, surely the land is worth £billions for property developers?
I'm pointing out that they knowlingly used a word improperly... and for that I am called misleading.
> How much physics should a doctor know?

Most (all?) countries outside the US seem to agree that roughly one year of undergrad maths/physics/chemistry blended into their med school program is enough.
Depends on the city, and whether or not you are too lazy to walk a few blocks.

When I lived in Manhattan and Brooklyn, most things were walking distance, and buses trains and cabs super convenient.

I live in Pittsburgh now, and can walk (half hour) or bike (10 minutes) to work. Shopping requires a car, but not much traffic and plenty of parking compared to NYC, so still convenient.

I know other US cities, though, have bad public transportation and bad traffic, and those might be worse than living in the suburbs.
Laptop security: Apple vs. [Insert name here]
OK let me tell you my story:

My Mac was stolen, and I used Find My Phone to lock it immediately. A week later, the thief opened the device, and sure he can't access it.

After two weeks, I lost my hope, sure I won't be able to get it back, so I decided to activate the Eraser.

Just an hour ago, I received the notification that the device erasing process has started.

I lost my device and all my data but not my privacy. And I found on Apple support forums that the device will remain locked as long as it still listed in my Find My Phone.

Now I'm planning to buy an x220 and get back to Linux. I was wondering how can I secure a Linux laptop and make it (somehow) harder for the thief to access my stolen device just like Apple did.

Do you have any experience with this? Do you mind to share?

I'm in college right now and oscillate between having one and not having one, but most of the social life is organized through Facebook and I end up looking very odd for ritualistically avoiding it (well and Google Docs but that's a different kettle of fish).
Broadly, my proposal is the iOS model + a catch all permission. Apps that try to bypass permissions are treated the same as apps that request unrestricted permission.

You're right that the permission prompts need to be expressed in an understandable way. For example, don't ask "Do you want to allow Skype to open TCP port 800?", which sounds like gobbledygook to non-technical users. Instead ask, "Do you want to allow Skype to expose your device on the Internet?" or something along those lines. Or maybe skip this prompt, since if Skype is sandboxed, the danger of opening a port is reduced. Basically, make an intelligent tradeoff between security and usability.

You're right that it will be harder for users to understand than iOS, but it's still better than the "anything can happen?" status quo.
And that (Daly City, CA) is relatively high-density by current US standards.
Well, it's not that, not for me. It's that event planning and invitations now happen exclusively via FB.

FB already separated the messenger from the main service. I'd love to see them spin off the event invitations into a separate service, too. That I would happily use.
True, even so most political parties do not have their voters' interests at heart. Which puzzles me because you'd think that people would wise up to that trick after a couple of cycles.
I've heard this argument and I think it's a fallacy. I think the point is that automation will indeed "break" the economy in a drastic fashion. Money and consumers is just an efficient abstraction - what's really happening is that two parties are exchanging value (i.e. trading). If the middle/consumer class bottoms out, and automation renders their labour valueless, the owners of the automated, robotic outfits simply need to trade within themselves to keep their endeavours worthwhile. Of course, I suppose I'm taking things to overly simple, probably dystopian logical extremes here.

Nevertheless, the guy in charge of the fully robotic organic farm only needs to trade with the guy with the fleet of robotic mechanics and both parties have realized a profit. There was no need for a bunch of consumers and their cash to make this transaction.
