Isn't it queer that "right-wing extremists" are seemingly prohibited from expressing their own "political weird thinking"?

>Think of us as your friendly drunk (but responsibly so) straw person that takes the blame for your expressions. As long as you keep within the boundaries of reasonable law and you're not a right-wing extremist, we’re for promoting your freedom of speech, your political weird thinking, your kinky forums and whatever. Even Trump is welcome. Hell, he might even be a customer. We’ll never know. We might even be approved by him! Or not. We don’t really care.
I probably missed that in the article -- did their contract provide for sharing profits (so studios legally had to pay) or not (maybe poor contract, but at least the way things happened was legal).

I'm not a fan of studios or current copyright laws, they are horrendous. But, being the devil's advocate: I think the model often is that studios provide exposure for young artists and get profits from first success. If a movie is a hit, artists get real money on the second and later ones.

If that is the case, the contract is somewhat morally defensible (60k in 1984 was more than it is today).
Correct, and the blog post mentions all of that.

My typical co-workers have always been 20-30 years older. The ones that stand out and have been the most productive teaming across generations have taken Chip's approach. The older engineers that focus on "how to technically implement a feature" miss out on (and often suffocate) the potential creativity of younger engineers.
That seems like human explorers. Some rech their goal and a lot of them die. I wouldn't call this dumb.

I think the "all life on earth dies" scenario is mostly a straw man. I mean, I'm sure there are some people speculating about such things and making comparisons with Venus, but so far as I can tell the overwhelming majority of people who are concerned about climate change are worried about much more modestly-bad scenarios.

So. Yes, the CO2 level has been much higher in the past. For instance, in the Cambrian period it was much higher than it is now. ... And, in the Cambrian, the surface temperature of the earth was about 7 degrees C higher than it is now.

As someone else remarked: no, "the ecosystem" did not survive the Chicxulub event. Life survived it, sure, but it wiped out the dinosaurs (other than the birds). That's kinda a big deal.

The problem here is that for example in Poland the market is flooded with post-enterprise laptops from Germany/UK/France, and while yes, those laptops get second life in this market, almost all of them will end up in landfills, not recycled fully. So basically Germany "recycles" their IT equipment by selling it to other markets where it's not certain the equipment will be recycled once it dies fully.
Reddit impacted my life negatively and is a site I would never recommend to anybody in my life. It taught me that a lot of Americans hate Indians, and has probably forever changed my feelings to them negatively.

Because voting in a general election is different to voting in a referendum.

A lot of people see voting in general elections as futile, because as far as they can see, all they get from any party is more of the same.

Regardless of whether or not that viewpoint is correct, it doesn't apply to referendums. A referendum is about voting for a specific thing and getting it, or not.

I think that if we have more referendums, people will start to realise the difference, and take part more.

The power of minikube definitely comes from being able to use the same k8s manifests for production and development. We use helm which allows us to simply change a few settings in the production manifest so it fits development better. To install the otherwise production made manifests (called charts in helm speak) into minikube is simply 'helm install chart -f chart/dev.values.yaml'.
Is 300Mb synchronous fiber fast enough for you? Puts the 7 second load time in perspective.

Javascript blocking is a fairly basic and widely used tool for internet security these days. Having JS disabled by default is a security choice, not a speed one. It's definitely a sign of poor web design to not at least have a landing page saying "this website relies on scripts, please enable them to view the page".

Of course, since the page is literally just text and pictures, exactly what HTML and CSS were designed for, the fact that it doesn't work at all without javascript and takes 7 seconds to load on a 300Mb connection with them turned, we've got bigger problems. It's honestly like looking at someone who has built an treehouse out of shopping bags and resin, and then attach it to the tree with a powder actuated nailgun. The web designer is definitely using all the wrong tools and ingredients.

Requiring 4X the labor to produce the same amount of energy is a big deal! Even just a million more workers would translate into $50B or more in cost, or $500/year for the average household.

A quick note to any readers... I'd suggest avoiding a case-sensitive HFS+ boot volume with macOS. I used one for over a year, and it just brings trouble.

You could equally say that stupid people shouldn't be allowed to vote because they make bad decisions.

Yes, but this is probably served by the ISP's servers, into which traffic was redirected by the ISP's dishonest DNS.

This is good. The closest I've been able to get to anonymous ownership is buying a domain on Gandi and then delegating all roles except Owner to another Gandi account under a fake name. This way I never show up in WHOIS at all but I guess Gandi still knows who bought it (I didn't use bitcoin)

The questions are equivalent as originally written in the article:

One poll asked the following question:

“Should the voting age be lowered to sixteen?”

The second poll asked:

“Should sixteen and seventeen-year-olds be allowed to vote?”

When he later repeated the questions with percentage figures, he did in fact write what I quoted, which was:

"When asked if the voting age should be lowered 57% said no"

So within the context of the article, what I said was correct. But if you just read my comment and nothing else, you would be correct.

Last Week in Pony – April 23, 2017
About ten years ago, I read a news article about a management firm in Auckland, New Zealand, who collected rent, conducted monthly inspections, and had found the greatest tenant.

SO, when the tenant moved out and the landlord decided to inspect the place himself, he was surprised to find a large amount of damage and a badly overgrown yard. It seems that the management firm had collected the rent (through automatic weekly debit), taken their percentage, and done nothing else.

I'm afraid it was so long ago that I don't remember anything specific.
I don't think that's the problem. I think the problem is that "3D" versions have us effectively trying to manipulate the internal 3D state of a box - that's something we're terrible at - we usually interact with 3D objects in a sparse state.

Fairly basic it is. But it's nowhere near "widely used" in any way that it would impact a businesses sales.

there are also some subreddits on frugal life, early retirement, management of your finances. While there is a lot of advertisment and untested theory in there as well, I have to agree that it helps a lot to gain some money skills.

The one I can recommend the most is learning to write down and track your finances manually (i.e., without Mint). I'm a lazy bum, so I stop doing it after a few months every time I start, but when you hit a strain of bad luck that drains all your savings you will be happy as hell to have these skills navigate you through the storm. I'd say without these skills I would be insolvent right now, which is worse in my country than the US, afaik.

Perhaps between 0 experience and a junior programmer, but not a senior programmer; you need a lot of experience with different designs to gauge how to model and approach different problems appropriately. There are many working solutions to problems, but the space narrows drastically when you consider what's appropriate to abstract and what isn't, what can be maintained easily and what can't, what can be tested easily, what can be explained easily, etc.
I don't think it's so weird, some other services have such stipulations. It's part of the idea of no-platforming, in which the provider of a service wants to minimise spreading of ideas (in this case far right ideas) by not affording people who hold such ideas a platform to speak on.

It can be quite effective to prevent spread of these ideas, and even if you disagree with this particular instance (I don't) most services do this to some degree. I do think it is strange though, that they say that they are "for promoting your freedom of speech" simultaneously. Their barring of right-wing extremists suggests that they don't care much for freedom of speech (there's nothing wrong with that, though).
So, what is the advantage of using this over existing workflow management systems, such as Airflow, Azkaban and Luigi?

Do not feel guilt tripped into supporting the Guardian through donations!

The Guardian turned their back on investigative journalism and went for columnists (that write columns concerning the agency news). This was decided years ago and last year there were more cuts to the budget, so even more agency news and flim-flam columnist nonsense.

How can the Guardian compete when they are just churning out the same agency news stories as everyone else?

Opinion pieces from a select few columnists worked fine in the days of print but it does not cut it online, people are not that bothered about what their columnists think.

It is too late to turn the sinking ship around, the rest of the Scott Trust money will be thrown down the same hole and it will be game over, with cycles of cutbacks along the way. At the moment the chickens are coming home to roost, a friend in the Farringdon area recently took on two refugees from the Guardian, or maybe they were 'rats leaving the sinking ship'. In former times the Guardian would be the company you would want to work for, not flee because the writing is on the wall.

Had they done it differently and actually done the independent reporting and investigative journalism instead of the agency news with columnists, then things could have been different.

Nowadays the 'please donate' deal sounds a bit like 'give us some money then we will do this investigative journalism stuff, honest'. It is back to front and not as if they really believe honst money can be made from honest journalism - everything is someone else's fault.
Overwork is a symptom of bad time management even in US cultures, we just don't recognize it. The HN community would likely agree that most startups fail. Over work, building products that fail or will be cancelled, is a sad waste of human potential. Sometimes extra work is required, but more often it is energy wasted.

Besides "What's app and Instagram is more of a threat than FB" is missing the point, as both are owned by FB, the company.

I think that's an absurdly low standard to apply to corporate speech.

The CEO of a multi-billion dollar company gets on stage during their main annual product conference and says a newly announced product is going to become an open industry standard.

This turns out not to possible in exactly the way the company had planned due to a lawsuit, so the company drops the plan entirely.

That's a lie by definition. You asserted that you'd do something and then you didn't do it. Does breaking a promise imply that there can't be any mitigating circumstances? No, I'm sure there were some reasons for why FaceTime wasn't opened.

People & companies make product buying decisions based on things like these, e.g. some company might have bought a bunch of iPads for video conferencing expecting that in a couple of years they'd be inter-operable with any device they could buy, including non-Apple devices.

This excuse that they couldn't open the p2p thing they initially planned to open is absurd. Apple could absolutely have just opened & standardized what FaceTime ended up being, i.e. an open video chat client/server allowing anyone to run a server. I.e. some sort of IRC or Jabber for video messaging.

Even if they couldn't open or release some specific component due to patent concerns they could still have opened & standardized almost everything else, see e.g. how open source video players ship pluggable codec support without direct support for some proprietary & patented codecs.

Bringing this back to my original comment on APFS, do I think they won't open that? No, they probably will. I just thought I'd point out that Apple has a documented history of abandoning their open source / standardization plans after making some very public announcements about them, so people should be wary of counting their chickens before they're hatched when it comes to Apple.
Dunno, as a user I'm a bit sad. I enjoyed having a simple native app to view all my news in, (Apple News). I was subscribed to The Guardian, but now I don't feel like I'll get my worth from their network if I have to change my daily flow just for their news site.
> react can be used just to template (no one uses it this way)

I don't know about the others but I do. Got bad experience when I've shoved logic where it didn't belong, don't repeat the same mistake again.

As the templating "got data, want a form, a table and a chart" engine it's good - exactly in a sense that I can write one template instead of multiple partials (add+update+remove). The complexity hidden underneath doesn't strike my fancy, but... it works, and saves coding time - especially because a lot of components are already written by someone else and is available on npm.

Still, it's really really easy to shoot yourself in the leg. And I found a fair share of tutorials and examples teaching those sort of things.

> react provides a good mechanism for handling state and events

No, it doesn't have those. Unless you count react-router/Redux/Mobx/whatever as React-the-umbrella-naming.

Well, there is some basic internal state management (via constructor + `setState` + `componentWillReceiveProps`) but that's about it, and IMHO it best very used conservatively, for approximately the same reasons why having logic in, say, Jinja2 templates isn't the best idea in Python world. Or maybe I just don't know how to cook stateful components properly, but last time I made a stateful component I ended up rewriting it some weeks later, extracting the state away, because it became a problem.

There is no event handling at all - except for the "props are changing, this is going to update" event, of course. All React has is `onClick`-like attributes and handlers bound to those are best left as some dispatch calls to the outside, with no logic inside the React component code whatsoever.
I think so too. It's not freedom of speech if it's "you're free to say what you like as long as it doesn't bother me". It's also concerning that this service is the arbiter of what's moral and what's not in their domains.
SiFive has been late with their U500 or it would exist already. I suspect they're waiting for finalization of the privileged instruction spec. Since they will have PCIe support I'm wondering if you could actually use it with commercial graphics cards and open source drivers. That would put real usable hardware out in the world late this year.

There are other companies on the verge of releasing hardware implementations. But in every case, I would wait for the final specs before jumping on any particular hardware even if it shipped now. Other than the micro controllers of course.
