Because ego and thus hatred against perceived differences that assists mental seperation is so very deeply ingrained in your culture. Just look and see. It really is the root cause of all suffering, the concept of "I". It is what allows for illusions like "I have rights" or "they are attacking us" and everything that comes after it: Very, very naive and subjective perception that is regarded as absolute truth and even defended to great lengths.
It does not directly address those, but it does allow people to vote for a candidate that they may think has little chance. Their vote is not "wasted" when it falls back to the next-best candidate, and gives a third party more potential to be taken seriously.

The changes are not mutually exclusive, either. Let's reform voting and reduce influence by money in elections.

Parent was referring to Windows on desktops and laptops
Right, but your response to scummy practices was "which is why I use [other thing with scummy practices]."

I'm sure you can justify why a button isn't as bad as spyware to yourself, but to anyone who puts up with neither, the parent comment makes sense without needing to 'equate' the two. They're both not things you'd put up with; and the 'sophie's choice' (yes, I saw the tag) joke would instead just be a response for a different platform.
Do you have a reference for that? I highly doubt the rate of twitter threat investigations has changed between administrations.

In case it's not obvious this argument is a disingenuous appraisal of current nuclear energy as a power source.

The important facts that are left unsaid are: when current nuclear goes bad it goes VERY bad indeed; the intermittent powers sources of wind and solar are much less intermittent in aggregate when their geographical dispersion is large enough; the costs of both solar and wind are declining rapidly while nuclear costs are not; widely distributed storage batteries will be come more common as their price continues to decrease and the grid will strengthen in proportion.

Solar and wind have the added important advantage that capacity can be added incrementally whereas nuclear is one huge, wildly expensive project at a time.

I'm not against nuclear in principle. The problem is not, as stated, the unreasonable condition that it has to be 100% safe. The problem is that the risks have to be reasonably limited when something does go wrong. Nuclear fails that requirement.

If there was not a viable alternative to nuclear then sure, nuclear would be a necessity. As it is, nuclear's viability window has closed, at least for now.
If by "required to" you mean "legally and constitutionally required to", then that's still at least somewhat ambiguous and hasn't been fully tested in court.

If by "required" you mean "to get on my flight and avoid getting arrested", then probably yes, it's required.
And you can reach ESC just fine on the touchbar anyway, it just isn't tactile. It's not like its in the middle of the function row or something.

I use an HHKB2, which has CTRL in the correct location, and the ESC key is one row lower, being next to the 1 key. It's still too far to reach and CTRL-[ is absolutely the best way to go. Reaching even further on a standard keyboard is just awful.

The difference is that information is easy to store and copy. When they search your luggage, they don't take anything from you.

Only a sheltered 22-year old could make that statement. Dumb indeed.

Old people do tend to be wiser. When you are 20 you simply can't make up for the 10 extra years of experience you are missing against someone who is 30...and someone who is 50 and has used the last 20 years improving themselves (after having a decade of their 20s to make mistakes you can't imagine)...forget about it. No matter how smart you are you can't overcome the slow accumulation of experience that time brings.

I think what Goodenough says about not closing your mind as you age is key. Some old people stop learning, but if you combine a lifetime of learning and being willing to change your mind, it's remarkable what you can do. One of the great detriments to the tech industry is the youth movement. Giving college kids the world is detrimental to the world and ultimately those people. Adversity is good.

Ask HN: Curriculum ideas for teaching programming to middle school kids
Hey HN! I have plans to teach a 10-week, one-hour-a-week course to a group of kids in the 10-16 age range. These kids come from a poorer urban background and likely have no exposure to programming at all. I have some ideas for course content (discussed below), but I've never done anything like this before, so I have no idea if they're good ideas or not. I'd love to hear the thoughts of you all on what would work well, and I'd especially love to hear the stories of what worked well people who have done similar things before.

None of my plans are set in stone yet, but my general plan is to make the course as interactive and fun as possible. There was a thread recently[0] discussing Robotopia, which I like the premise behind. I'm not sure if it's quite polished enough yet to be used. I'm heavily considering using either the offline or online version of Scratch[1] but don't know quite what direction I'd go with it. I also saw there are minecraft related programming lessons[2] which sounds really neat, but I haven't looked at this in depth yet.

Anyway, I could list more tools out there, but most importantly, hearing what has and hasn't worked well when working with kids would be great!

The hundred-mile border thing is a myth; it refers to a SCOTUS holding that limits searches with a nexus to a border crossing to within that distance, but does not allow CBP to search people who haven't transacted directly with the border in some way.

ACLU, which I otherwise support wholeheartedly, does us all a mild disservice by perpetuating the myth, which is very widely believed.

Such arrogance from a group of people who have accomplished little of note in comparison.

I don't feel superior teaching a man to use Google if that man when he was a decade younger than the age I am now was flying a chopper over Vietnam to support his wife and two children. Listen and learn from them while they are still around.
I always have a hard time interpreting these statistics.

I understand the numbers of terrorist-related deaths versus non-terrorist one are staggering as displayed above, but if we stopped funding these security measures at airports (scanners, staff, etc), what could the number go up to?

Are these 3000 deaths so low because of the security measures? If we were to remove/loosen security measures at airports, how could we even estimate the impact in number of terrorist-related deaths?

Are these fears of possible ramp-up of terrorist attacks (if security measures are loosened) unfounded?

> Why cannot groups be applied to the user instantly?

Good question! I've wondered about this before too, ought to research it.

> Is hostname the only thing with such problem, the only gui-configurable system-wide setting?

Of course not :) Systemd provides a half-dozen similar daemons for configuring things; hostnamed is probably the simplest one of them, so I was trying to justify why so much engineering went into something that looks so trivial: it's because the approach is generic.

The idea is that a non-systemd system could reimplement some of these daemons (or rather, their dbus interface; you could implement them in one executable if you want) - and the parts of a standard control panel application relevant to your system would just work.

because they are copied and stored indefinitely without any promise of not spilling the content. And also that's the kind of thing that leads to an entire village in Yemen to be killed, women and children included, in the middle of the night by the Navy Seals.
I thought the telemetry stuff could avoid DNS lookups? I.e. even if you null out a certain host lookup, it'll use a direct IP?
A lot of taxi drivers are essentially self employed and working under franchise, or similar arrangements, IIRC. I don't know for sure (in other words: rampant speculation follows!) but I expect it is a way for the taxi firm to dodge various responsibilities regarding health & safety, insurance, tax, and so forth, by passing them on to the "self employed" driver.

Too much chaos and choice and you slow down because everyone has done the same things in slightly different ways.

There's a fine balance between allowing choice and setting standards. There's productivity gains as well from having some standards -- you can built tools which leverage standards, so long as they aren't too restrictive.

e.x. In the world of microservices, you end up needing a lot of telemetry to keep things running smoothly and figure out what goes wrong when your call is four levels deep. Doing so is hard without having a standard to which your services must adhere to. It's easiest if you have a base application which takes care of that for you. That, however, becomes hard if you have the combinatorial explosion of [languages] x [frameworks].

That doesn't mean you shouldn't entertain new choices, (hey, team X wants to use Go.) but there should be some discipline. It boggles my mind when individual engineers prefer to speed up their development for the short-term vs. the overall organization.
Bots created by people...

Patent Basics: For Inventors and Decision-Makers (Email Course)
I think it is reasonable to say that people with PhDs do not look fondly on those who pretend they do. It represents significant hubris to pretend you have completed the work to qualify for a PhD since it usually takes 4-6 years full time. Even more hubris to think you will get away with it. After all, people who undertake PhDs usually quite like what they do, like to talk about it, and expect to know many of the same people as someone else who has studied in the same area.

I work for a shop with more than 200 devs. Over the years we had multiple efforts to standardize the libraries, platforms we use only to very limited success.

All pubs on the wiki are indeed overloaded. Interestingly if one sets up their own, the other pubs eventually sync with it, only the desktop client seems to be unhappy with laggy pubs. Is that by design?

It's not a disingenuous appraisal; you're overblowing the safety issues.

When nuclear fails, the bad isn't that bad. Fukushima impact was mostly from panic and unnecessary evacuations. Even Chernobyl wasn't that bad (compare to e.g. hydroelectric dam failures).

As for solar power, I hope what you say is true; I still wonder what's their EROI and real carbon footprint, when you correct for the subsidies (which are fine as means to get solar running, but not fine for calculations of impact on climate and energy security).
I'm not sure it's reasonable to stipulate that the surveillance we conduct actually deters ISIS. I think the answer to your question is "statistically, not many".

It sounds like CSV Explorer might work well for them.
To my mind, it is not about funding or not funding security at airports/borders/etc. It's about if terrorism poses enough of a threat to be worth compromising our standards of governance. We can fund and support security in these zones without suspending our civil liberties and we should.
Where does this leave Keras? Wasn't it supposed to be the new high level interface to TF?

I have OpenGL code running on FreeBSD, Linux, MacOS X and Windows. I'm not going to write a second implementation for Apple systems. Vendor-specific graphics APIs are a throwback to the '90s. I am categorically not going to support Apple's Metal API; they need to bear in mind that much software using OpenGL is not Mac-specific, and given the poor state of Mac graphics Macs are decreasingly a second class platform for serious graphics use. Even FreeBSD has better OpenGL support(!)

"Market power" is fairly meaningless when you support multiple platforms. Most games ported to Apple platforms use OpenGL; using Metal would restrict their market significantly. And expensive high-end software has better support on platforms where you can use expensive high-end GPUs and compute, and that's not today's Apple hardware. Metal is a non-starter for a very large number of people, and they need to get their OpenGL and Vulkan support up to par or many of us will cease supporting Apple platforms entirely.

I think the big issue with this sort of scheme would be noise. Small, heavily loaded props will be super loud. There are a lot of them in this case. The noise wouldn't linearly increase with the number of propellers but it would increase with the addition of each one.
So what? They can still hold you for hours and then deny you entry.
I guess look at the numbers before the security measures were introduced
I think that is quite unlikely. Based on what evidence do you believe that?
You don't necessarily need to convert the nuclear fuel to weapons, you just need to blow the whole thing up, which ISIS is more than capable of doing, and then see how the winds carry the radio-active clouds 3,000 km away. For example see this map: http://i.imgur.com/zlRGSs3.jpg , more especially Austria.
They're not. The power of nuclear weapons is like 1% the fuel, 99% complex electronics you need to have them actually detonate with meaningful yield.
In my experience, great work is rarely the result of "marathon slogs". In fact I would call the result of such slogs the opposite of great.

The article is about genius, but the strengths you attach to the young here apply more to what I would consider being a good worker drone.

When considering the cases of both Goodenough and Zuckerberg, my takeaway is that when it comes to genius, age is a non-factor.

I'd say its a reasonable assumption. ISIS's goal is to actually succeed, not to get caught by surveillance before an attack.

> We need to grow up.

And stop trying to prevent terrorism? That's not growing up. While the Brits were playing golf during the Blitz, they were also investing vast amounts of money and lives into shooting down German planes.

I don't think most of true things listed matter to the vast majority of people.

People don't care how an app is made usually. I really dislike the 10000 song limit too but none of my friends seem to know or care. A hi-fi option def can't matter much to people or Tidal would've been more popular for that reason, no?

I have my own ax to grind with offline music not scrobbling to last.fm even close to properly but I'm not going to even pretend that more than a fraction of their users care or know about the feature. Similarly I don't think people would have an issue with 3k+ offline track limit. That's a lot to me.

Apple Music does seem to have a lot of good features though. Give you that.
