The U.S. government just doesn't care about your or me. Anyone who feels otherwise, and that becomes a part of the government, is quickly swallowed up by partisan relationships and government bureaucracy.

They prove it everyday, choosing special and corporate interests over the people, or in this case, choosing its own power over protecting our interests.

Man, it's sad.

Google search "40 hour work week Henry Ford" and it auto suggests "henry ford started 40 hour work week" "henry ford invented the 40 hour work week"

Which takes you to "Does the 8-hour day and the 40-hour week come from Henry Ford, or labor unions?" http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/sep/... "In 1914, at a time when most workers still lacked a guarantee of eight-hour days, the Ford Motor Co. attracted notice for instituting eight-hour shifts and raising wages in the manner the graphic indicates. (For many Ford workers, the work week remained six days.)"

Of note, you can get 24 hours from 4 * 6, 3 x 8, or 2 x 12 hour shifts. But, 8 * 6 is not 40.

And closes with "The claim contains some element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression, so we rate it Mostly False."
When I hear someone make an insinuation like that I assume there's no factual basis and that they're a huge asshole. It's only fair. If you really have something you can't talk about, then the right thing to do is shut your mouth, not say "Oh, there's just so, so much more to this story, if only I could tell you you'd really know what a horrible person this guy is"

That should never be acceptable. Anyone can do it to anyone and it's bullshit.

Things have changed, though. Many ISPs are also cable TV providers. Netflix is now at 98m paid subscribers (worldwide), with cable footprint at 94 million (US). Somewhat apples to oranges numbers there, but also:

"The thirteen largest pay-TV providers in the US, representing about 95% of the market, lost about 385,000 net video subscribers in 2015." http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2016/03/11/us-pay-tv-continue...

The ISPs have been complaining about being reduced to a dumb pipe for a while now. They are very motivated to increase data revenue...

A good place to start would be poking around github for "CS 2110 gatech gameboy". CS2110 is the intro-to-low-level course at Georgia Tech, and about the middle third of the course could be described as "getting comfortable with C syntax in the completely foreign environment of a gameboy advance by writing games". As a result, there are some provided libraries that are very extensive. For everything else, there's tonc.

Most of the time the course doesn't cover the more advanced features (mode 0? or was it 4, or 6 that did sprites and textures) but it was a fun introduction to something, and I got to write flappy bird in C when flappy bird was still culturally relevant.

Ask HN: Satire-fuelled tutorial for my app
A long time ago a brilliant idea struck my head and I made a funny tutorial for my product called Helpinator. I think I got nearly half of my customers thanks to it and very likely lost as much :) It used "Satan Remover" fake app as a tutorial subject to create a help file for. Unfortunately it is terribly outdated by now. I need some fresh ideas for a new fake app for this tutorial, both serious in terms of UI and satirically mocking current trends in IT, pop-culture and, probably, politics. I hate to say it, but I am stuck. The world now is a much darker place than it was, say, 5-10 years ago. "Hear a funky noise? That's the tightening of the screws" (C) The Rolling Stones.

I have some ideas though:

1. "Evil Genius To-do List", saying that it is registered to Satya Nadella with some freaking tasks related to Windows in it.

2. "Trump-o-line" - a fake game UI in the "tower defense" genre for building a wall to not let Mexicans in and bounce back those who managed to avoid it.

3. "USB Self-consciousness checker" - shows how close your smart device connected to a USB port is to becoming self-aware. With "Samsung S7" being 100% self-conscious and heading for a suicide.

4. "Who is watching?" - shows names, photos and bios of government agents looking at you through your webcam right now.

5. May be I should take a deeper dive into absurdism and write a lengthy detailed manual about a blank app - no buttons or menus or anyting - with philosophical intermissions about implications of "not doing it is better than doing it wrong"?

I am not quite satisfied with any of them. Do you like one of those? Or better, have your own? Of course your name will be honored on the "Tutorial" page if I like your idea.

Apathy is indeed a problem, and the EU would obviously love higher turnout.

Using it as an argument against the EU is kinda circular, though. Only people who show up should et to complain.
> The South was not in general convinced by the emancipation proclamation, and so the oppression continued in the extreme.

It's a better example to point out that the the emancipation proclamation didn't even free all the Union's Slaves at the time. Its kind of a no-duh that the South wouldn't follow it because the emancipation proclamation was a war measure against the Confederacy. Edit: It'd also be stronger to point out Jim Crow laws in the reconstruction era

Sadly the touch screen support is still more miss than hit.

the address bar brings up the Win10 OSK just fine. But any input areas in pages require that i bring up the keyboard manually.

And the whole browser seems to go unresponsive to touch input at irregular intervals.

Sad really, as they give me the ability to scale the UI as i see fit. Thus making the various elements that much easier to hit with a finger.

I left at startup because of healthcare issues. Having healthcare tied to one's employment is terrible in so many ways for both the individual and the economy as a whole. Maybe one day someone will cut that chain...
Maybe startups, instead of going for the lavish offices, should put more of that VC money into salaries and health benefits. Or try to offer a better work/life balance. This entitled idea that startup founders have that they can pay shit wages and work people to death needs to go.

Another problem is the cost of housing. Even if you want to join a startup in the Bay Area, it's hard enough to pay the rent/mortgage on a big tech salary, let alone a startup salary.
Despite deletionists' efforts, I doubt that any long-standing mathematical conjecture which can reasonably be called "famous" (to a general, non-specialist audience) does not currently have a Wikipedia page.

Maybe the small matter that every single economic authority on the matter from our foreign allies like Barack Obama, to the IMF, the Bank Of England, the Confederation of British Industry, (and endless list) said it would be an unmitigated disaster... and then there are the people who think it is a good idea... Trump, Putin, Lafarge, Gove, and not even the the PM thought it was a good idea to start off with. Project Fear? - more like Project Shit Your Pants Now...

>writes that while socialism may extend to politics, education, and military life. It does not extend to the social and religious aspects of life.

The shaping of cultural life via the relations to the means of production refers to the shaping of the superstructure by the base, Marx claims. Although Bookchin has his own ideas (that the superstructure is not entirely shaped by the base, as evidenced by societies involving shamanism, something which he claims does not arise out of the economic base) most Marxists believe that every aspect of society is given rise to by material conditions, i.e the relationship of people to their means of sustenance. For the proletariat under capiatalism, this means their culture and way of life is shaped by working in return for wage-labour.

However I feel as though Il-Sung may have been hinting at something we already recognise in our own societies; the "American Dream" may be such a substitute for a deity figure which encourages blind faith in the capitalist system, in which "anyone can be anything with enough hard work".

So the question is: does Socialism require such a system of belief, or can it as Marx claims go without due to the normalisation of the Socialist mode of production? This dilemma is a common theme of debate within Socialism, with one camp of Orthodox Marxists saying that everything can be explained in terms of the economic base, while communalists and "identity politicians" claim that changing the relationship to the MoP does little to eradicate the cause of non-economic power structures, including shamanism, racism, sexism etc.
How is involuntary commitment legal under the constitution?

Mental "patients" (prisoners) are deprived of due process, trial by jury, and are subject to cruel and unusual punishment (forced drugging, solitary confinement) and indefinite imprisonment. This in itself is psychologically damaging and further exacerbates the issue.

If a person hurts someone, they should stand trial but until then they should be allowed their inalienable rights.
In Richard Branson's book he makes a big deal about keeping detailed notes of meetings, and how useful he's found the practice to be over his career

its really probably a very underrated habit, especially as a new, low on the totem pole person

it probably makes you a very useful gatekeeper of the information flow

the process of doing it probably reinforces the information flow into your brain for useful future brainstorming (it forces you to pay attention)

also it gives you the basis for which you can influence future decisions "On (so and so date), according to my notes we said we wanted to do X, so now we should do Y"

-----------

a suggestion,

run how people's ideas are presented in your notes to them directly, before you distributed them to the wider audience

"I'm trying to get the meeting notes together, this is how I have what you said about Y, do you mind looking at to make sure it accurately captures what you were saying?"

"That's not what I said" or, more likely, "That's not what I meant" is a good way to create dysfunction where none needs to exist

Interesting write-up. Did I miss it, or did the author not talk specifically about the implementation architecture for the redis instances, i.e. single instances vs. high-availability with replication? If you run replication then you at least need persistence for the master, and since any of the replicas can fail over and become master that basically means you need persistence for all of them.
You're right. Society has not collapsed. It's just been turned inside out. Instead of collapse we have:

* Children with "two dads" or "two moms" rather than a nuclear family.

* Children with three genetic parents.

* A society where personal autonomy is regarded as the ultimate end.

* Laws (such as the Title IX debacle) that are self-contradictory.

* A legal system where what feels good is valued above the letter of the law.

* An educational system that wants to punish ideas that it doesn't deem as "inclusive".

* Mass protests of people who shout down their opponents instead of enlightened debate.

So yeah... exactly where is the upside to a society the abandons self-control and discipline for freedom and autonomy?

Costs-benefits analysis. If I allocate $100 for 100 students in higher education, I can spend only $1 on each. If 25 show far more promise in the productivity they can contribute that $4 spent on each will achieve a greater overall output of productivity, it's in society's interest to invest $4 each in those 25 students over investing $1 each in 100. Since those 25 are getting $4 of investment, they should also expect to pay back to society enough to justify the higher investment in them.
> I'd rather have unpaid time off while the business finally figured out their strategy or goals for me before stepping into the office.

Sorry, but I wouldn't. I work for one reason and one reason only: to afford food and shelter. I couldn't care less what my employer does with my work as long as I'm getting paid for it.

About 20 years ago, there was a Dilbert strip [0] where Phil says to Dilbert "You can choose eternal high pay, but all of your work will be burned in front of you at the end of each day... or you can choose eternal poverty, but your work will be useful and appreciated". I'd choose the former in a heartbeat -- just as long as I get paid for my work, I don't care if it gets burned in front of me. Hell, I don't even need to get paid a lot -- as long as it can sustain my current lifestyle, I'll be happy.

You need to be strict about it.

It's amazing how many "emergencies" aren't emergencies. If I have plans I have plans. If there are loads of "emergencies" then that is the result of poor planning and management. Lots of managers I have worked with back off when I decline.

Having said that, not everyone is in a position to be strict about it. It needs to be put into law or hashed out during the hiring process.
> Er, didn't Canada just sign a trade pact with the EU which does sacrifice some of the independence of their borders, laws and courts? CETA will:

Yes, if anything this supports what I'm talking about, this is why I'm critical of the EU, dealing with EU bureaucrats always goes beyond strictly economic interests... but still CETA is hardly comparable to the ever expanding scope of being part of the EU.

Nor would I assume that agreements between the UK + US or Asian countries would necessarily include EU style requirements... especially considering the UK leaving EU for such reasons.

That plus TPP failed for similar reasons... it was far too complex and include thousands of pages of policy that go beyond simple mutually beneficial trade pacts.

Regardless, just because other trade agreements are bad and include baggage doesn't mean the UK should just bend over and take it from the EU. We should strive for better policies. TPP was a disaster and the recent reconsideration of NAFTA should make us rethink how we approach trade pacts. It's an opportunity to evolve.

But to evolve it needs to be part of the public forum. CETA passed very quietly in Canada. I hardly remember any talk of it until it was already well beyond debate. Much like they tried to keep TPP in secret backroom meetings. If it became a political issue earlier I'm not 100% sure CETA would have passed in it's current state.
Yeah this fits my experience exactly. I suppose I use docker a lot like a package manager (easy to install software and when I remove something I know it will be cleaned up).

Parliament has gained a lot of 'de jure' power since Lisbon. With it (and, some argue, a few good moves by the previous President of the EU Parliament) has come a rise in 'de facto' power and visibility.

Entirely left out of your answer is the Council, with heads of state elected by whatever their country deems to be a democratic process. In practice, EU legislation requires agreement between the three institutions.
I am in the same situation with my side project. Currently working on version 2.

I would say look at what Facebook does, they are like digital crack.

Your site should be very useful to users and you should try to gamify things a little bit as others have said.

I would recommend building out a segmented newsletter for people. Say for instance, you get a bunch of HN users that signup. If they are interested in startups, you have a weekly or monthly email that goes out that lists books on startups, customer development, lean startups etc.

You give a small summary on each book in the newsletter and the link brings them back to the site.

I have also seen email notifications for responses to forum posts that have worked really well.

One other thing, I tried your site on a Nexus 5, and the images of the books are a little shifted and oversized. I would suggest tweaking this a little as the majority of people browse the web on their phones these days.
Don't be so quick to judge.

Placing someone at mid / senior / junior is not "cocky"... it's pretty subjective if you do it right. The guy missed questions that over 50% of our applicants knew the answers to.

I'm not talking the "implement this obscure algorithm from scratch on a whiteboard" kind of question HN is so fond of. The hardest coding question we ask is Fizz-Buzz.

But we can't / won't pay him more than we pay other employees with similar or higher skill sets.

If we drew a bell curve of all the applicants we had, this guy would be in the middle.

His resume was impressive though. My guess is the company that hired him didn't do their diligence and only weighed the resume.

The risk I described is separate from startups. A company of any size/age/growth rate can substitute soft benefits for compensation. To be clear, I was not talking about the job stability risk of working at a startup, or startups at all.

> And by and large these people were usually members of the ACM or IEEE.

I don't think those organizations have ever had any "teeth" in any space, let alone the professional one. I don't think anything like what I'm talking about had ever existed for programmers. I'm thinking of something like more like a Bar Association (like for lawyers) with regulatory/licensing powers or a union with labor-market power. I admit, both are unlikely to arise anytime soon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_association#Mandatory.2C_i...

> Some states require membership in the state's bar association to practice law there. Such an organization is called a mandatory, integrated, or unified bar,[3][4] and is a type of government-granted monopoly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disbarment:

> Disbarment is the removal of a lawyer from a bar association or the practice of law, thus revoking his or her law license or admission to practice law. Disbarment is usually a punishment for unethical or criminal conduct. Procedures vary depending on the law society.

> Generally disbarment is imposed as a sanction for conduct indicating that an attorney is not fit to practice law, willfully disregarding the interests of a client, or engaging in fraud which impedes the administration of justice.
