> The second school of thought is individual responsibility. Users should take steps to protect their own privacy on a case-by-case basis, in the same way they look after their own home security or personal safety.

I think this is a bullshit argument. Nobody looks after their home security or personal security the way we expect users to be careful of their privacy, nor do we accept the amount of intrusions into our house or personal space as we are told is reasonable in information.

Imagine you could get a free pizza every week, you just need to let the driver go through your house and correspondence. Imagine if you had to sign over the risk that your house might be burgled if you signed up for a bank account...And the police didn't act on it.

These examples seem ludicrous, but that is not because I'm making them like this, it's because the premise that we all do "personal responsibility" is a myth.

We have police, laws, community rules, all of these things to protect our houses and personal security. If you leave the door unlocked, robbing it is still a crime. Likewise, if you walk around on an unsafe neighbourhood and get robbed, it would be ludicrous to hear "well, the city warned you that part is unsafe, so the police isn't going to investigate"

The thing that gets me about Spacewar is how gorgeous it looked compared to games released even much much later. The CRT effects and vector graphics really lift that game to a whole other level that pixel rendering and sprites could never match (and this is coming from someone who loves the pixel art of retro games).

As much I sometimes grown when I hear people talking about CRT emulation of classic computers and games consoles, if there was any game that would benefit from CRT emulation it would be Spacewar!

Only plastic parts really needs a mold to be produced.
Metallic parts are produced on machining machines where the real knownledge sits in the ISO programmer head.

And plastic parts are more and more reserved for low end product, whereas high end products are all made of metal (think about a plane architecture being made of plastic instead of aluminium: this will not happen soon).

So to be honest about your dad situation: from an industrial point of view I think the people outsourcing your dad's job in China were right: they did loose the know-how on keyboards molds and they do face a problem regarding keyboard quality nowadays, but that value gained in outsourcing low end parts was invested in machining technologies with very local jobs garanteed for a long industrial time.

I'm sorry about your dad situation in that systemic change, and I'm glad he managed to move to another field, but what's at stake here is really what a was proposed in a parent comment: 'manual' labour being replaced with automation (and human tragedies involved unfortunately...).

The Gameboy advance homebrew tutorials where my first introduction to C (before then I was using turbo Pascal.) Homebrew is great and devkitpro is really easy to mess with.
So basically ohm is Ian Piumarta's peg compiling to JavaScript, not C. And ohm-editor is the visualizer when going down the operator precedence rabbit-hole, which is the only peg problem, compared to a conventional back-recursive parser generator. One advantage of peg is that it doesn't need a flex lexer. Strange name then. I would have called it pegjs.
Thank you for the reply - interesting.

Just to clarify, saying that my friend is not a programmer was meant to set expectations, not to be disparaging. My friend write short scripts to accomplish specific tasks, but is not employed to write programs, has never studied programming or computer science, has never written a program longer than about 50 to 100 lines, has never written a program for someone else to use, and actively refuses to be called a programmer.

Neither of us consider that a problem or criticism, but simply a statement of fact. I play music, but I'm not a musician. I sing, but I'm not a singer. I dance, but I'm not a dancer. I write stuff, but I'm not a writer. I program, but I'm not a programmer. I do math, and use math, but I'm not a mathematician. On occasion I run, but I'm not a runner. Yes the exact boundaries are fuzzy, it's difficult to create clear and precise definitions, but to describe someone who cooks the occasional dinner "a chef", or even "a cook", is to lose distinctions I think are worth retaining, and to dilute the terms to the point of being effectively worthless.

Oh, and my friend doesn't use the mathematics particularly either, and refuses now to be called a mathematician.

But it's unlikely we'll reach agreement on this, so I just thought I'd make my position clear.
Nice, but… This is not the history update I wanted from Vivaldi. The url autocompletion is annoying. I think it goes for the sub pages I clicked my way to, that shows up the most in history, instead of just the domain and the home page. I may click myself to my facebook profile 10 times during a fb session, but I don't want to land there.

Anyway, I'm using Vivaldi on Linux because the clean looks. No ugly borders or any of the other ugly Linux things. That and tab stacking.

Yes, this is a bit concerning as Vivaldi development was last I heard self funded by Jon von Tetzchner (http://www.wionews.com/science-tech/wionspecial-ceo-explains...). He claims it's otherwise meant to get funds from search engine and bookmark bundle deals. Sounds like a fragile base to build on in a niche browser aimed for power users, who tend to be unusually quick at removing/reverting exactly such features?

Isn't the way out of this via open source and community efforts essentially why Firefox has been successful despite not being OS bundled or backed by a huge search engine company like Google?

You are wrong.

Primitive recursive functions alone are able to recognize formal languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PR_(complexity) PR is the complexity class of all primitive recursive functions—or, equivalently, the set of all formal languages that can be decided by such a function.
Clojure makes certain language sacrifices to ensure great integration with its host platforms.

Easy access to the tens of thousands of person years worth of effort put into the Java/JavaScript ecosystems in return for dealing with a bit of ugliness is a win in my books.

It's not that. Read my parent comment. They lament the fact that someone hasn't freely handed out an open source handheld gaming device... for 2D games. Not only would 2D gaming be outdated and a waste of a modern gaming device, but they wish some company or individual would hand them a hardware device and software platform, all for "tinkering".

They're asking for a million dollars or more to be invested by someone else, simply to be able to fool around with it. The very concept screams not understanding how much time and money it takes to produce such hardware and matching software. We're not talking about $5,000 and one month of development time from some indie developer; we're talking about more than $1 million and 2-3 years of development time from a serious shop... all for free and as open source? Not going to happen.
This rebuke rests on the fallacy that because this was allowed before, it's acceptable -- which it simply is not. The status quo is terrible and that means that continuing with the status quo is terrible. The new rules were meant to belatedly restrain the ISPs.

Yea, good point. The current policy of complete sanctions against North Korea seems to be working out really well for the people there. We should keep doing that?

Trade or tourism sanctions against countries have never had a positive effect for the sanctioned country's citizens. Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Japan before WWII, its always the same story: sanctions are great for dictators, terrible for the citizens.

Want actual change? Trade with them. Wealthy countries are less militant, not more so.

Correct, the point of my post is that Go does not have these guarantees even though it is one of the few (only?) languages based on a methodology that actually has a proven theorem for statically guaranteeing thread safety; yes, that was never implemented in Go despite that all the other aspects of the methodology were. Which I just find interesting.
This is literally a qwerkywriter with a different case. The key spacing is exactly the same, as are the features aside from new square-ish keycaps.

Interesting that the domain name is elretron.com...someone with username "elretron" posted a youtube video to a review of the qwerkywriter on Jan 10, 2017 ( https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=86879.0 , http://i.imgur.com/hecpAgx.png)

Is the qwerkywriter creator behind this second upcoming kickstarter campaign, or is "elretron" just ripping off the entire thing and selling for cheaper with a cheaper case? Or is the original creator just hoping for another round of kickstarter funding and making no mention of qwerkywriter on their website (which has prominent spelling errors, as if it had been thrown together quickly)?

Either way, pretty shady
Ask HN: Hacker News users reading habits
I think it would be interesting to talk about our reading habits, so here there are some questions related with this topic:
- How many articles do you read each day?

- Do you usually read during some time of the day or it's usually random?
Withdrawal from politics certainly is an important factor that has made America a currently sinking ship.

But the problem is more systemic. It's at the center of the culture of this society: it's the fact that MONEY (== DOMINATION) has been made the most central and culturally venerated value.

To change that, a lot of suffering will have to occur, because those who benefit from MONEY (== DOMINATION) will use exactly that to defend this (sick) cultural value by - you guessed it - dominating everybody who's against it. And for that, other sick things like mass surveillance technology, a militarized police force, perfectly controlled media, and pressure on your economic wellbeing and your physical and mental health will be used.

I've had exactly one of these tests, and that was only because the insurance I had required all employees to get a battery of blood tests drawn (or pay more each month for insurance). They planned on requiring this yearly, with plans to force folks to start meeting the metrics or pay more for insurance. I'm not sure how this panned out for them.

Anyhow, if it wasn't for this, I would have never had such a test. I'm in my late 30's. My father was diabetic at my age, actually, and it runs in the family. I'm a prime candidate for preventive measures, but still nothing. Now, I understand that I go to the doctor rarely but at any one of these I could have been asked about a physical and stuff like that.
Not really. The fundamental problem in the economy is the focus on the short term rather than the long term. The economy focuses on the short term because Wall Street focuses on the short term and will invest in firms with similar short term focus.

Ratio-based investment isn't fundamentally short or long term, and the article doesn't persuasively make that argument. The entire point of selling off your assets to improve profit-to-asset ratios is to improve the performance of your assets, so that they can be put in investments which offer better profits. Whether the new investments are short-term investments or long-term investments is a matter of investor preference, not financial science.

In fact, the argument to be made is that companies which "sell off" their human capital are actually in violation of RONA principles, because the company is not ultimately made of dollars and cents but of people and products, and since the company can't really extract more value out of its highly specialized human capital (I.e. by reassigning it to more productive work), it should not reassign that capital elsewhere.

Investment bankers and programmers tend to make the same error: you are less competitive at manipulating your abstraction (whether that be money or high-level languages) if you do not understand how it abstracts away reality. Otherwise, you will constantly be dealing with leaky abstractions.
I am the only user of my app so far - but due to me knowing that I suffer from procrastination - I've added messages based on usage and light questions I feel I should answer.

For example, if I use the app for X minutes in a day, the next day I will get a summary as a notification.

It also adds light questions, to give an example it takes a random word and asks something like "how do you pronounce this?" or "what does X mean?". Tapping it takes you to the answer. They are made to require as little actual app interaction as possible, kind of making the learning (or rather, retention) almost passive to a degree.

I found the success of this minor so far, but I think it can work fairly well. It just needs a good balance.

In a sense we already have 'a basic income'. It's called 'social welfare state' and causes innumerable individuals to migrate across the globe. With that come tectonic shifts in culture and (we shall see) a loss of a lot of factors that made these systems work in the first place. Not quite unlike Ancient Rome, which too had a sort of basic income, triggering massive changes to its initial fabric of success. Don't get me wrong, I could see capitalism's endgame to be a form of utopia but I'd be curious to know how something like that would actually work and not destroy the generating forces of abundance unless it was introduced gloabally at once and / or in some form organically, I.e in a sustainable way that will not dislodge half the population of the planet.

I don’t want to expand on the history the browser provides. I want to completely replace every bit. I want to be the history API.

That’s the problem. I don’t want to glue a new frontend on top of what exists, I want to completely replace every history API the browser provides, and replace it with my own.

I, as extension dev, can’t remove the history API’s implementation, and build my own implementation. I can’t change what backend the browser’s history UI uses, or replace that UI.

I can’t hijack the history button in the menu, or replace it.

With Firefox, today, with lots of hackery, I can get pretty close. But I still can’t fully get there.

With the new WebExtensions, I can only add UI – but not replace UI, or add backend functionality, or replace backend functionality.
That'd be a nice project.

At home I use Sennheiser HD600s, often through my Marantz PM60005 amp, or a portable Fiio amp. If I'm at work I just Sennheiser Momentums, over-ear kind.

The HD600s are brilliant for gaming, music and movies, but obviously are open backed so are no good for a busy office. I find in games, people often complain they couldn't hear me coming, but I could hear them! The sound quality is amazing and I don't think I'd ever replace them, unless they broke - in which case I'd either buy more or try HD650s.

The momentums are great for travelling and this morning I actually bought my other half a pair of the folding on-ear versions for travelling and being away from home.

Another take on this, of course, is that 1/7th of the society were the idle rich and the rest were slaves, which may have far more in common with the present day than you are letting on.

The only way your analysis makes even a little sense is to view the slaves as non human. Which conveniently ignores the entire thing everyone is actually afraid of, which is concentration of ownership of productive capital.
