A murder destroys a single life, or handful of lives, directly. Is a bank executive who wilfully commits fraud that damages million of lives better or far worse?

Regardless of how bad it is (and I do think there are arguments to be made both ways), being allowed to effectively escape punishment because the distributed nature of the crime makes it hard to comprehend its real impact is both wrong and damaging to society in the long run.
It was towards the end of middle school and through high school. So, my early to mid teens.

I had never worked on a larger project before that. It was great to have one single large project to work on, and to keep adding features to. I had messed around with code since I was about 7. It was based on the source code of something else which did the heaviest of lifting.

My dad taught computer science at a small college and was able to get OS/2 and C compilers for me. I forget which C compiler I used, I think I might have switched from Borland to something else at the time -- but I remember the one C compiler came with a set of books in a box that was about 4 feet long. I used the box as a footrest when I'd code. Haha.

I chose OS/2 because it was the first operating system that I knew of which allowed true multi-tasking. Two processes (instances of the BBS}) could actually run at the same time without one pausing the inactive one. It was also cool to try a new OS, to try something new.
>Basically it's called using money as a means to make money, and this was frowned upon in many civilisations.

I was watching the history of York castle on Netflix. In England the Christian people wouldn't charge interest on loans but the small Jewish community did, I assume it meant a person could borrow more?

Anyway there was a huge riot by the Christian townsfolk they wanted to kill the Jewish men, women and children. Which also meant all debts held in Jewish books were wiped out.

All the Jewish people of York took refuge in the York castle keep but in the end were going to be killed by the people of York. The men slit the throats of their wives and children then the mend committed suicide.

That is not because Ukraine and Russia don't have bad (hence cheap) IT staff.

It has more to do with IT resources from India generally tend to be the sweet spot of cheap enough and good enough (for a cheapskate, penny foolish myopic offshoring companies) resources.
> cost almost nothing to have

you're dead wrong here. it costs space, which is a precious resource in modern laptop builds.

i just feel like companies and people hanging on to these archaic technologies is hindering progress and adoption of newer and better technologies. after all why do you need thunderbolt port if you already have the vga? why do you need better wireless chip if you can always plug in the cable? these stupid decisions are made on a level that impacts the whole industry.
From some JavaScript training slides I am working on:

Why use it:

- Server and client side in the same language
- Simple enough for you to feel free
- Enough hammers not to forge your own every time
- Fast enough
- Good enough to structure larger programs
- Browser is the only cross-platform GUI toolkit

When to use it:

- Web applications
- Network clients and servers

When not to use it:

- Computation (CPU) heavy programs
- Very high loads
- Shell scripting
- Raw packet requirement
Biggest benefit, as a solo developer, is one language for everything. I can rip through the front end, and back end work for all my new venture projects, without changing gears.

this is the big mistake that united/republic made. if you deny boarding before the gate the passenger has very little recourse. if they try and run the gate they are going to get very little sympathy. however, once the passenger is seated they suddenly have the option of not moving which is going to cause lots of problems.

i don't travel much and i've been on a flight where they have deboarded people after people had seated so i don't think this is that uncommon. we also thought it was a really good deal. like ~200 EUR + accommodation for the night + ticket for the next day but none of us could take it because we had luggage in the hold.

> The reason is capitalism

Because in alternative economical systems, there's no scarcity of resources and authorities in charge have absolutely no motivation to save those resources up. Right?

If you label any situation of resource scarcity and misuse as "because capitalism", it just means you don't understand what capitalism and other economic systems are about.
Considering they are ready to invade Syria and/or Kurdistan at the drop of a hat, I can see why their priorities are a bit askew.
"I one-hundred-percent think we should be credited for them."

But in the Floyd Mayweather example, his site is mentioned in the blurb so in a way he is credited with it.

If he doesnt want to be in the snippet, then tell bankrate and every site that mention you to take down that mention.

if he doesnt want his site to be linked to from any snippet, just add Google to your robots.txt

Not in EU they aren't. At most they are being now built assuming you should go there by public transportation, but certainly not that you drive there.

Why Ghostery? There are addons now that provide better functionality without the awful redesigned interface.
The display advertising market share would allow them to weather the storm of an ad blocker, especially if the ad blocker were designed to be friendlier to their ads versus others. Roll it out with aggressive blocking, wait for competitors to die, then relax the rules.

Or they could use the Android entry point. The EU seems to think they have a monopoly there, which would imply a "mobile browser" monopoly.
I vpn into my home network when working from coffee shops etc and ssh into my workstation. It does require a semi descent connection but mosh helps mitigate a lot of issues with ssh and latency. Works pretty well and gives me descent battery life to boot since compilation/tests now run on the remote box.

I've also done it through a cheap digital ocean instance but compilation speeds are much worse and running tests takes longer, but it's a bit easier to set up and try out I guess.
Last time I gave it a serious try I remember running in to a few oddities making me resort to keep using normal panes. Don't know if it's improved recently or if I were unlucky.
> Why weren't there separator characters between the region and the networks, or the hub and the nodes? Who knows, it worked. :-)

Because the original scheme didn't account for these intermediate levels. 2:201/274 was supposed to talk to 2:201/0, which was supposed to talk to 2:0/0.
Doesn't scale, so they introduced the 10^n scheme for subdivision (whose precise limits differed between zones)
But this "environment" is entirely artificial.
I just tried this on my Mac with tmux, vim, and textedit (with a normal text file) and didn't run into this problem. This is with vim 7.4 and tmux 2.1.
Weird. I built my .rc files like 10 years ago, and only edit them about twice a year to add a plugin or modify a keybinding. Not a pain to maintain at all.

>Side note, the last time I criticised a pithy, poorly researched put down by you, I was told off by a moderator. I wonder if someone could defend this comment as somehow adding value to this discussion.

It's my opinion about the Economist, and especially about their coverage of world affairs (which I explicitly mention in my comment). And I've been quite familiar with the domain, having worked with people covering world affairs for over a decade or so (for print and radio).

I don't like their neoliberal mantra of privatisation and deregulation, and I don't find their British foreign policy biases to allow for much integrity.

You might not like my comment. That said, I don't see how holding grudges, and carrying older "pithy, poorly researched put downs" on your shoulders, trying to finally "get back" at another commenter is any good. I don't even remember our discussion. Perhaps you could have just stated your opinion on the subject, instead of your opinion on fellow HNers?

The "pithy, poorly researched put down" could just as well have been just a true (or reasonable), but unpopular opinion. As a European, I don't have the most favorable views, nor share many viewpoints with the American HN audience. I don't particularly care for the "free market" either or other such things many are hot for -- which is one of the reasons I find the Economist shallow.

But its the law and he knew full well that there was always a risk that he would be bumped from a flight, as any passenger does.

If he did not want to be bumped he should buy a business class seat.

Now the fact that it can be argued legalistically that he was not "denied boarding by bumping", but was "deplaned", is something he can pursue in the courts if he chooses to. But I don't think he was even arguing this at the time.

His behaviour was simply childish.

Overall I feel that Firefox is sufficiently customisable, that it's probably the easiest browser to protect your privacy in and control content. I like Safari, but customisation is harder to do.

> I strongly take issue with the idea that peace treaty of WW1 caused WW2. The treaty wwas dead in the water before Hitler ever came to power.

Hitler's prestige within Germany was strongly bolstered by his ability to unwind provisions of the Versailles treaty. For example, the remilitarization of the Rhine valley (demilitarized by Versailles), the annexation of Austria (forbidden by Versailles), or the reestablishment of military conscription.
User flags on submissions do affect rankings. If a submission receives enough flags, the [flagged] tag will also be displayed. You're right that there isn't a way for non-mods to know exactly how many flags a submission has received.

There are some other knobs the mods can turn, but user flags definitely are used and useful. If you see something you feel is inappropriate for HN, flag it. Community curation is definitely a part of HN. I have seen the mods override user flags for contentious yet popular submissions, but that's been rare, in my experience.

Wunderlist refugees flee the Empire of Microsoft for refuge at sites like https://todoist.com/
I suspect this will lead to ads not being served via the site's code own code, but rather by Chrome overlaying the ads into the site using placeholders defined by the site.

By controlling the ad experience at this level (and this possibly being the only way to avoid being blocked), Google can enforce an ad-experience that is akin to in-feed facebook ads.

It also provides a far greater level of security around the ad unit and a far better level of accurate targeting (cookies don't get used, your login does). These two things together provide a new way to interact / monetise those ad units.

Gaming with Elixir: discovering new lands in the BEAM realm
Context from ShonumiGBE+ at /r/emulation :

Might help to explain some context for people who don't know what Overdrive 2 is, or why it's important.

TiTAN is a pretty prominent group in the demo scene. They do a lot of crazy demos, basically coding consoles to their limit while making cool audio-visual presentations. Overdrive 2 is the follow up to the original Overdrive demo[1], and once again TiTAN have pulled off a bunch of insane effects on the Mega Drive.

Overdrive 2 is relevant to /r/emulation because it can't be emulated (yet). From what I understand, it's doing a bunch of tricks (described in the write-up on Google Docs) that emulators currently can't handle. That's right, even in 2017, Genesis/MD emulation has a ways to go, which is kind of exciting to me. I'd love to see emulators like Blastem, Exodus, and higan step up to the plate. Then maybe the demo scene can come up with even more torture tests ;)

Anyway, you guys can catch Overdrive 2 over on YouTube.[2] This stuff is sick.

A Ruby shadowing bug in the wild
This is also what I've assumed SRE really means, plus being on call to put out fires in the middle of the night. I can't begin to imagine the hell that is trying to string hundreds of buggy containers on top of buggy kernels on top of buggy VMs and applying daily patches that don't collapse this complexity house of cards. If anybody can handle this without burning out in a few months they probably don't pay you enough
Partly, that's because the x201 is so old. It's had about 7 years to mature support.

I had an x201 new, and I ran into all those problems listed above for the first two years. Hell, I had to use a USB WIFI dongle for the first year or so because the drivers hadn't stablized.
I don't know how credible celebrity net worth is, but Wikipedia can't provide the best estimates. It doesn't have the organizational structure to ensure that they're present for all celebrities, or that they stay up to date, and its policy on citations means it can't engage in well informed speculation.

The best Wikipedia could do is (manually or automatically) scrape a site like celebrity net worth for information, linking to its estimates, if wikipedia editors decided that it was a notable/reputable source.

I agree that's not a great example from the perspective of what the individual should do. It's just the best example off the top of my head of an organization using its size to make lawsuits largely worthless as a remedy.

That said, I disagree that Dr. Dao is responsible for the violence that occurred or that he chose violence. His was a classic act of civil disobedience: he simply didn't comply, even when violence was used against him, and it's turning out that the predicates for using violence against him are falling apart. He wasn't trespassing, the police acted incorrectly, the gate agents acted incorrectly, and the whole airline business leading up to that moment has built up a faulty expectation of what's allowed and expected. The Walmart equivalent wouldn't be attacking a floor manager, it would be staging a sit-in, which would be much more clearly a simple case of trespassing because it's a store rather than an airplane.
