I wouldn't feel too secure about my knowledge capital if I were you- companies regard skills you obtained in their employ as their intellectual property and they're doing whatever they can to retain it. Right now they can't perfectly do that but in the future, that might change. It might happen by specializing roles to the point that it's just button pushing, or by noncompete agreements, etc.

10-15 years ago, it was popular to see "www.example.com" everywhere (television ads, etc.). Nowadays, though, I can't think of the last time I saw "www" in ads, printed materials, etc.

All users will have access to the same critical information and experiences regardless of what browser they use, although those experiences will render better in newer browsers. If JavaScript fails, users will still get a robust HTML foundation.

I guess it remains to be seen just how robust this really is, but it's a fantastic goal to see explicitly embraced for modern websites. I skimmed some things in Lynx and w3m (elinks failed with an SSL error; rumor has it that it doesn't support SNI), and it honestly looks better than I remember a lot of sites looking in Lynx ~20 years ago, let alone the average modern site. Sure, part of that is imagemaps and frames going out of style, but modern sites haven't necessarily replaced them with more graceful constructs.
I like nuclear fusion. Fission has the risk of meltdown, and isn't economically competitive without epic subsidies. So yes and no.

Kind of wondering if her manager was somehow feeling threatened/insecure by the writer. Of the "she's a better engineer than me" or (sic) "she's both prettier and smarter than me" (etc) kind of threat... and was purposely belittling and attacking her self-esteem due to that. The old "put down" approach. Ugh.

On a serious note, in the early 60's, his yearly wage was less than $3500 a year. And even with 4 kids, he bought a brand new house, and two cars. Later he bought a gas station down the street. He sold that a few years later[0] and bought an auto repair shop. Sold that in 1983 for $200k and built another shop that is still in the family.

I won't say how much I have in savings, but it is somewhere between $10k and $100k. And it feels completely useless. I work hard for the money that I make that can't buy anything. Perhaps I'm jealous, but seeing someone who knows nothing sit behind a desk so they can enforce/make "regulations" while milking a pay check tests my Christianity.

> Unless you slide your finger across the keyboard to "count" which FN key is under your finger, you can still use FN keys on the Touch Bar, without looking down; they are in the same positions.

If that was true, we could just use an iPad instead of a physical keyboard. But there's a reason people don't like typing on chiclet keyboards or glass, and some developers even go to great lengths of geekery to build custom mechanical keyboards with different types of switches.

Typing on glass just doesn't give you the same feedback you get from physical keys.

I'm not saying the Touch Bar is not an improvement for many people. Many people (even some developers or professionals) rarely use the F-keys. But there is a certain demographic which deeply cares about the keyboard, and there's no denying parts of this demographic overlapped with that of MBP users.
I'm really hoping for a proper GUN/Linux phone operating system. I hope Ubuntu Touch works out well eventually.
Incorrect. The personal right to bear arms was rooted in the need for domestic state security. There is no mention of personal defense. A quick Wikipedia search also indicates that the exact text of this amendment is not exactly the same between all original copies of the Constitution. Sort of an interesting read [0]. The version authenticated by Thomas Jefferson has the exact quote of:

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

People keep forgetting the well regulated militia part of the amendment, and what that phrase ought permit the state for the maintenance of state security.

Admittedly, the US Supreme Court has interpreted the amendment as rooted in English Law's self-defense right. But the amendment itself makes no mention of it, rather leading the personal right with the state need for security. This ties into the other state needs (national defense, anti-insurrection, self-defense, etc.) at the time of drafting.

>Your first example is based on moral philosophy, not sociology.

Sociology is inherently tied with "moral philosophy" and normative ideas about society, and has always been, and it's something sociologists, at least here in Europe, have been perfectly open about (e.g. Foucault Bourdieu, Pierre Bourdieu, Henri Lefebvre and tons of others) It's not, for example, just a positivistic gathering of statistics and a supposedly "neutral" construction of prediction models.

>Your other two examples - as you note - are based on an explicit prediction

No, they are based on observation of existing conditions. No explicit prediction involved, as noted. At best there's an implicit prediction that's an obvious conclusion from the observations (e.g. "if we reduce macho culture, more women will get into IT").

Economics is a social science.

Economists, like Sociologists, have trouble predicting the future and the past.

The only thing, in my opinion, that separates Economics from Sociology is that for economic activity to take place there's also a hard substance that can be tracked, eg. money, but also other goods or services. Sociology is the social science that focuses on everything else in the field that isn't that. Sociology is Economics poor cousin, as it were.

> DRMed service could suddenly close down tomorrow don't sound good

I'm not worried about that - it's not my collection, it's Spotify's. I'm merely paying for the unlimited consumption of their collection on demand, not to purchase the songs and have them for life.

It'd be a different story if I expected the songs I listen to on Spotify to be available forever, but I don't, and that's not what I'm paying for.
No explicit prediction involved, as noted. At best there's an implicit prediction..

There is a prediction, you are just too afraid of being proven wrong to state it explicitly.

I find that a valuable heuristic that you don't believe your own claims. I don't quite know why you want to push policies based on false premises, however. Maybe because your motivation is actually normative but you want to trick me into thinking it is positive?
> I prefer the convenience of having access to an effectively unlimited music library, on demand, for a flat cost per month.

This is what I do. I use Spotify as an on-demand radio. If I like an artist or album, I buy it in physical form. (Usually on record because why not? And it often comes with a download code.)
I like the simplicity.

Like much communication, there is something unstated but clearly implied in the expression "There is no such thing as a free meal" This is that it refers to products of commercial enterprises. Charities, for instance, do give meals away for free. Linux is produced by a volunteer, non-profit organization, and so it is free.

By the way, I have noticed that it is rather common for HN commenters to fail to pick up the assumed meanings, and jump on the words alone as being mistaken.
DRM aside, one thing that Spotify seems to have done quite well is to integrate its service in to many other devices and services: Much like what Netflix has done for video. For many people, having their music collection readily available is quite valuable.

How many of these suicides are war veterans?

Don't people from rural states have a disproportionate number of enlistees in to the military? And hasn't there been a huge increase in veteran suicides since the Iraq and Afghanistan wars?
Well, I did a little bit of research and it looks like the policy Microsoft had in place was already allowing for emergency updates to be installed over metered connections, and this change in wording may just be a clarification of the existing policy. I'm going to hold off on updating until there is more information out there about what the change in wording actually implies. If things are bad enough I might change to a new OS to work on my projects. Automatic updates are just so distracting and frustrating most of the time. Like most humans, I just want control over my environment.

Indeed, I consider people as rational actors, not because I believe it to be a tested hypothesis, but because it seems to be a workable rule of thumb for treating people with respect and avoiding bias.

It's also been my experience that when I hear people talking about one another as irrational, it's never because they're trying to be more respectful, but is invariably in support of patronizing or manipulating people. Nobody has ever used an irrational actor hypothesis to justify paying someone more, or giving them more authority and autonomy.

>I wonder how many of these suicides are war veterans.

The overall share of combat veterans within the population as a whole is much smaller than most people think. It's less than 1%. While the suicide rates are much higher than the general population, the total numbers are relatively insignificant.
Very interesting. Can you give me some pointers on what kind of partnerships they have?
>I run LibreOffice on my Mac and documents ALWAYS render differently than on Word. I always have to proofread on an office computer before I send files out to my colleagues.

If you're authoring the documents, you don't need to use docx. Use a more open format that's supported better by both. As for reading documents, who cares if it renders differently? So long as you can read it that's enough.

>I literally used Bluetooth this afternoon. I was playing music on an external speaker. I also use it to connect my phone to my car, and my friend was using it late last week to play back an audio recording that we needed to pay close attention to.

I was only referring to using your computer for bluetooth, not your phone, since that's the only subject that's relevant to the discussion. Audio is a fair point, though, but I'll point out that I have a pair of bluetooth headphones that works fine with Linux.
It appears to be a broader epidemic than just the US. Australian media also report that rural suicides (particular polarised amongst older farm owners and young people) has been on a marked increase over the past decade.

Over here it has been mostly attributed to the extended drought, and the general decline of agriculture as a core factor of GDP, as well as the popularity of hard drugs like ice in rural areas.

Not sure if that correlates with the conditions in rural US as well.
In April 2005, the Chicago Tribune cited a statistic that
35 percent of those who died in Iraq and Afghanistan were
from small, rural towns, in con­trast to 25 percent of the
population. This point runs counter to the picture, painted
by Rangel and others, of heavy enlistment reliance on poor,
black urban neighborhoods. Indeed, recruits are disproportionately
rural, not urban, and as rural concen­tration rises, so
does military enlistment. [1]

Sure, there's going to be that one adult guy who does enjoy listening to the same Frozen song 5 times a day, but that's an acceptable anomaly.
> Don't people from rural states have a disproportionate number of enlistees in to the military?

Maybe, but would they return there post military service? Given that urbanization is a thing, and that most military installations are in cities, I would think this would contribute more to the urban suicide rate.
While the 40% number is interesting, the average increase across the nation was 30%.

The much bigger question here is why did the rate of suicide increase more than 30% for the entire nation in a 16 year time span? It's a fairly consistent trend across all sorts of economic environments regardless of whether we were in a boom or bust.

It's a shame there isn't a deeper analysis here. I have so many questions. Is the cause related to drug abuse? Would better healthcare help here? Is it mostly economical? Is the trend consistent across similar nations? Or could there be a link to something we mass consume and don't realize is harming us (similar to just a few decades ago when everything had lead in it).
I'd say the opposite - you described the benefits of DRM-free media. You don't need to worry about OSes, devices and etc. Standard formats are accessible everywhere. And if you are using some really quirky system, you can always transcode it into supported format (that's why it's always better to buy lossless music). DRMed ones on the other hand, are tied to officially supported systems only, therefore it always will have less reach.
I'm fine with buying a service for conveniently listening to music by a list of artists I like. If Spotify goes bust, it's not like that music disappears: it will be available on other services (and in theory as traditional records, too).

Only thing is that composing that playlist again would be a major hassle. I have a list of bands and artists, I guess I could spend a weekend going through discography lists by Wikipedia and other sources.
