Supreme Court has to go. They are a isolated body who is above the Constitution (they act this way).

If we want to avoid falling into the trap that Rome did and society slowly (or fast) collapsing we should already be taking steps to counter-act it.

The problem is the Media (Television) is very good at rotting away our intelligence. Telling us what to think; who to believe; so until people stop listening to someone else and start listening to their own heart.... we're going to be in a world of hurt

Sharing the responsibility and helping each other foster new ideas's to reduce harm would be great. Let's start addressing the food problem; too many children starving and unless you have money... We're the richest country in the world (we say) and yet we have the highest population of people starving with not enough medical care (or dental, or mental) and all the rich want to do is make more money off us to ensure they don't ever have to work.

Brilliant!

P.S. First generation people who have earned their money work for their money and see the value in it. They often are willing to part with their money to help their neighbor out. It's the second and third generation that our problem; they think they are above us (maybe they are?) and they don't have to play by the same rules as we do.

Being a good parent is becoming an increasing concern of mine as I am reaching an age where I could probably get married in some parts of the world. Its giving me anxiety, wanting to be not a shitty father...

Digression aside:

> Creativity may be hard to nurture, but it’s easy to thwart.

There are many parents though that do just to opposite by not backing off no? This is sort of generalizing, but kids from Asian countries are a great counterpoint to this. With that in mind, couldn't we also amend that theory, and add culture as a factor?

Furthermore, isn't it also the case that since kids are getting into school earlier than they used to (say 50 or so years ago; random number, don't goto imright.com and disprove it xD), wouldn't they be more susceptible to other kids/teachers? I mean now a days parents see their kids less than their teachers. They basically work 9-5 just like adults.

Addendum: Forgot which famous book this is from: But appraising a child for their hardwork over natural talent is one of the best things we can do. So to that end, creativity should be garnered as something one has to work towards. Man.. I can't wait to test all this shit on my kids.. (obviously joking)

Woz says Apple, Google and Facebook will be around in 2075
If all the leaks in the past decade have shown anything it's that everyone spies on everyone. It's been like that forever too. You can take some solace in knowing your country is almost definitely spying on the US as well.

With the internet, I have never been surprised by US govt shenanigans. The internet is largely a product of the US military. It was originally designed for government communications in nuclear war. I say the same when people mention GPS. It's very civilian appearing but make no mistake it's very much connected to military.
I know the current consensus seems to have moved away from this recommendation [1], but have you tried reading the (free online!) book "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good" (http://learnyouahaskell.com/)? It provides an easy to understand and uncomplicated introduction to monads, monoids, functors, and everything you find scary about Haskell. You won't be able to write full-fledged programs with it, but you won't be scared of these concepts anymore.

[1] The problem with "easy to understand" is that it sometimes leads to oversimplified or wrong intuitions, but to be honest I found the book a nice -- if not immediately useful -- introduction to Haskell.

And people say that like it's a bad thing. Cable can tell a lot about it's viewers. So can your TV hardware itself. The issue is how and whether they use that data in a way that is consumer-friendly. I'd say anything that takes the control away from the consumer is bad. I would prefer my curation, aggregation and recommendation tools be isolated and give me control over who knows what about me and exactly how it's used. I have no problem opting in for advertising and marketing from specific companies I support, but unfortunately no one gives me that option. I block ads because I have no control over how the third party ad networks use and distribute my data. I don't use paid services for that same reason.
I can understand that for the first few million, but an inheritance of hundreds of million or even billions doesn't really do society much good.

Note that they already had "front door" access negotiated:

> One of the most contentious Snowden revelations — first reported on September 8, 2013 by Globo and then repeated a week later by Der Spiegel — was that NSA’s Tailored Operations group was hacking SWIFT, the international financial transfer messaging system. It was contentious because when the servers moved to Europe, the US and EU negotiated access for the US, access with protections for Europeans that happened to be oversold.

[...]

> A number of people have been arguing that the mostly Middle Eastern financial institutions that seem to be the focus here — things like the Al Quds Bank for Development and Investment — are legitimate intelligence targets. And they are, within the framework of NSA’s spying in the US. But that ignores that the US had an agreement in place about what legitimate targets were (which, according to MEPs who tried to oversee the agreement, were violated anyway). Also, a number of our Arab allies may not be too happy to see their own banks targeted.

I'm generally libertarian leaning and expected to completely disagree with this. But he's got a point. Does anyone here really believe Facebook deserves to be a multi-billion dollar company? All of their success comes from the luck of being first (ish) and establishing a monopoly because of network effects. Someone might make a vastly better social network. But are you going to use that, or the one your friends and family use?

I'm sorry, I guess that me not being American makes me unable to stand by your position, but I don't get it.

I'm an European citizen and I don't think it's Ok for any agency to spy in others' banking systems (or in anthing for that matter). If it was Iran doing this the US would go to war with them. If it was Palestine who was spying on US banking systems the US military would be killing left and right until nothing but corpses would remain, but is it OK for the NSA to shit on International laws to make America "safe"? The NSA is out of control of the American people, as all the other agencies. It seems like the US government and ther agencies feel they can do whatever they want, wherever they want and however they please, and no, that's not OK for the rest of the world. And about that 9/11 funding thing... It was proven that the CIA had knowledge about the attack before it happened... Do you really think they need to spy on the entire world to stop another one? And given the recent events, do you even think they need banks to attack the US, France or any other place? Gathering this information seem to have much more to do with controlling foreign goverments than with preventing terrorism. Please stop using 9/11 as an excuse for everything, there are lots of countries which have suffered many more terrorist attacks in the last 5 years and don't use it ad an excuse to fuck with everyone else in the planet.

I upvoted.

Looks like you genuinely felt it is out of the scope of a lot of novices (which it well might be at least for a weekend project), and you genuinely were looking for tips.

Just look for projects that would make yourself or others happy. Doesn't matter how small or large, whether it would take an hour or a decade, the hardest part is getting past line zero. Once you have that the next hardest part is getting to line one; wash, rinse repeat.

The good news is everything is relative and everyone has different skill sets - what's hard for everyone else might be a cinch for you due to your childhood fascination blending fishing line with champagne corks - who knows? ;)

Try not to be discouraged, just stick with it and be infinitely inquisitive, throw caution to the wind and dive right in.

Good luck and happy sailing!

> Hobbieists might use a Mirror Less instead of a DSLR.

> Pros will still use DSLRs.

I imagine Kodak said something like this in the 90's: "Hobbyists might use digital cameras, but pros will still use film."

Your view is shortsighted. Mirrorless cameras don't beat DSLRs yet, but they're improving fast. Eventually they will be better, and DSLRs will go the way of film: a niche for a few devotees, but not used even by most professionals. The greater reliability afforded by having no moving parts guarantees it.

Guidely – cloud based audio guide system
Hi, I'm a developer and founder of Guidely - http://guidely.xyz/

The idea is to create audio guide system which can be used by visitors of galleries and expositions.

_The service_ will provide cost-effective audio tour solution where the author (owner of the gallery or exhibition) pays the flat monthly fee. There is no initial cost or standing fee.
The service is Saas application - so an author don’t have to worry where data are being stored.

_The author_ (owner of the gallery or exhibition) logs in Guidely.xyz/User/Login and creates the audio guide and adds exhibits by providing name and text for narration. The narration is converted to high-quality audio track using advanced text to speech technology called Amazon Polly. It’s the same technology which powers Amazon Alexa and Amazon Echo.
The quality of voice is really good, this way authors don't have to worry about the recording of audio which is difficult and/or costly.

_The visitor_ while visiting the gallery or exposition will open http://guidely.xyz/ and selects the gallery or exhibition he or she is visiting, then chooses exhibit to listen to the audio guide.

For more details go to my blog/product page:

So many hours of my childhood were spent playing early Mac games, especially Dark Castle and Prince of Persia.

Ubisoft did release an iOS port of the original Prince of Persia: https://appsto.re/us/FNmRB.i

Starting the war for those aims is a war of aggression, removing the Taliban is setting up a friendly government, removing their right to police is a removal of sovereignty.

Really confused what you're going on about, you keep saying I'm wrong but don't try to say why.
I would also like to point out that while there might not be any direct drawbacks, think about others. How many kids put down those smarter to feel better about themselves?

If you don't mind having jre on your system and running a daemon: http://davmail.sourceforge.net/

I'll second this, although I'd recommend staying away from the X100. It had some issues with autofocus that were mostly corrected with firmware updates, but weren't completely addressed. The X100S and T are both excellent cameras.

Shooting with a prime (fixed focal length) lens will give you significantly better image quality at a lighter weight than using a zoom lens. I don't think you need much more than 16MP. That resolution is good enough for publishing in a top tier national magazine[1], and it'll be good enough for your computer screen.

>...But surely you accept that California has some inherant advantage?

For now at least, it does seem to have an advantage and draws capital. (For example, Samsung has a huge R&D center in silicon valley.) Of course for every successful IPO in the valley, there are many others who don't make it near that far.

The original poster was saying "...We just change the tax law to tax that money whether they bring it back to the US or not.". This would mean for example, that when selling in China, Apple would have to pay Chinese AND US/CA taxes on the profits made there and Samsung wouldn't - this would put US corporations at a huge disadvantage to their competitors. While I can see the goal is to get more tax money from corporations, it is obvious to see there would be a number of unintended consequences.
> Does anyone here really believe Facebook deserves to be a multi-billion dollar company?

Multi-billion what? Revenue? Yes, because they managed to monetize their traffic and keep it up despite fierce competition (attempts... by Google, for example). Market-cap? Yes because enough people who aren't typically extremely careless with their money invested in FB.

> All of their success comes from the luck of being first

First at what?
I think kids do need freedom, but they also need relationships and guidance. My own girls are 12 and 13 now and doing very well at school. I read a few articles and books about parenting and I do think that helped, not because all of them were great, some were some weren't, but they all helped me think about the problem from different angles.

The best advice I can give is to support their interests and get involved in activities they enjoy, sure. But also allow them to get interested and involved in the things you enjoy. Kids go through a phase from 2 to 6 or so where they love to help and love to find out about everything adults do. They will help do housework, help do shopping, watch you do whatever you are doing. Talk to them and answer their questions. Pitch your answers to their level without being condescending (google maps on your phone works because a satellite floating no up in space can see where you are), spend the extra time it takes. Letting them help will make the job take twice as long, and that's fine. Invest that time and be patient, it's well worth it and will pay dividends for the rest of your life.
No word on low light performance? That's for me is one of the two primary reasons to have a dedicated camera (Olympus PEN-F) and not just use my iPhone 7+ camera whenever I go (the other is the degree of control over the creative process that you can only achieve with buttons and dials). If you do lots of indoor shooting (which I do), low light becomes a primary limiting factor in taking good photos.

Another factor is focal range. With a bigger sensor it's easier to have a wide field of view, again an advantage dedicated cameras have.

I disagree about APS-C and FF being the winners. I think FF has peaked, the traditional advantages of FF are compensated for in smaller formats by better sensor silicon (getting to better low light sensitivity for a given pixel size) and optics (F1.8, F1.4 and even F1.2 lenses). FF still has its place with pro photographers but for amateurs the cost, size and weight (not just the camera - that primary factor here are the lenses, which become very big and very expensive as you climb up the sensor size) make it impractical.

I think FF will rule for pro photographers and MFT, which is smaller than APS-C, will rule the amateur market. MFT cameras are pushing the definition of pocketable already, but they can be carried along with a small lens and be with you everywhere. I can probably fit my PEN-F with a 14mm Lumix pancake lens in my jacket pocket without too much hassle - and as the old saying goes, "the best camera is the one you have with you".
Nurture should follow nature. No single parenting style will fit every child. Some children need to be pushed harder, some need more freedom; what's important is to recognize what works and what doesn't and accommodate as necessary. Of course, this is not an easy task, and you only get one chance.

I think the most important thing, however, is to provide resources for learning, far beyond what is available in our pitiful public education system, which is designed more to cater to the mean and less to allow remarkable students to fully excel.
Hey, Slate author here. I didn't realize this was going to get submitted to HN, Slate's still in beta but it's fairly production-ready.

You actually can handle things like "text-align", by adding custom data to nodes, which you can then read back via:

const alignment = node.data.get('alignment')

Where .get(key) can be anything you want.

So text alignment would just be deciding on a key/value to use, and then toggling styles in your React component based on the alignment value.

That said, it doesn't handle text alignment "out of the box" if that's what you mean. It doesn't really handle anything out of the box, because you have to opt-in to anything that changes your schema. This is by design though, and it makes it a lot less complicated to use Slate than some of the other frameworks when you start building complex editors. But if you're looking for a drop-in editor that has basic features then Slate is not the right choice.
Bookmarked!

Additionally, as I mentioned in another post. Many parts of the world have some of the most creative children and adults and their parents did the opposite.

Not saying either of these is right or wrong, but I am beginning to think creativity, like anything else, is more affected by culture and the surrounding of a child rather than just parenting. Kids are seen more by their peers and teachers than their parents ffs.
With Python in particular, I think it's because it's the jump from "I can use the standard library" to choosing from the large list of other parser libraries out there. (Or writing your own parser from scratch, but that has some of the same drawbacks as just using regular expressions.)
Thank you for sharing this. It is encouraging.

I think the key point is that open/decentralized services need to be better than the closed ones. One of the big things here is that decentralized services rarely have to make compromises for the sake of profit. As ads get more and more irritating, for example, ad-free products are more appealing.
Which European state do you live in? Because, UK, France and Germany are knee deep in this as participants. Hell, France has the most invasive internal surveillance of any country at last check.

Not sure what you mean by "there was never any sort of search features or mail filtering features that became standardized for IMAP servers."

Search is built into the IMAP protocol. [1]

Filtering doesn't belong at the IMAP protocol layer anymore than it belongs at the SMTP layer. That said, "Sieve" is really powerful, and there are many SMTP and IMAP servers which support it.
