His last album included collaborations with some of the most legendary producers in rap/hip hop including Statik Selektah, DJ Premiere, and the Roots. In fact, the Roots collab featured a previously lost beat from J. Dilla, another legend. It's a strong album that any true fan of the genre would appreciate. He's also a great sonic and lyrical bridge between the 90s style and modern day. His current album features Schoolboy Q, Styles P, and J.Cole, among others, and is unabashedly political and, at times, quite poignant. I just wanted to reply to your comment so people wouldn't be influenced by your uninformed opinion. In many ways, people who reminisce about the 90s and think rap/hip hop has changed too much or died, might be reinvigorated by Joey. I also challenge you to give him another listen :)

So I've driven around a fair amount of the US. Has anyone noticed that practically EVERY highway, people drive 70-80 mph. Regardless of the posted sign. I wonder if anyone knows why it is specifically that range.
Does this means I'll get fewer random redirects to the App Store from crappy advertising networks?

I'm not sure if this comment is anti-capitalist. Actually the comment is very capitalist.

In capitalism, we should not be glorifying working and generating profit for your employers (in socialist countries that was the state - but the same shit.).
nginx is nearly optimal for content serving (see Netflix presentations) and TLS origination or termination. It's actually somewhat weak in the features they charge for.
Have a source for that? Or even an example of a fruit where it's the case? It certainly isn't true for apples - heirloom varieties often have higher sugar content than modern apples. Modern apples taste sweeter than many heirloom varieties due to lower acidity, not higher sugar content.

Many modern cultivated fruits don't contain nearly as much sugar as they could because they're picked early, before their prime.

In the Northwest, Rubus armeniacus is an invasive species which has never been heavily bred, and is one of the sweetest fruits you can find - especially in late summer.

Grapes are one of the only fruits which have enough sugar to make wine with unless you use chaptalization. (Though some berries like Blackberries get close.)
You are correct. The 'verizon router' is only necessary in some strange way to support the set-top-box for TV purposes [1]. If you have internet only, and a hot ethernet jack on the ONT, you can use whatever you like.

My FIOS came with a hot ethernet jack, and the crappy verizon POS router has never been hooked up to the FIOS. Instead what is attached is the Linux PC that acts as my router/firewall. Works just fine that way.

[1] And, oddly, it (the stupid router) is still required for the set-top-box even if all one has is TV+Phone. It's coax has to be tee connected to the coax feeding the set-top-box before the set-top-box will start up and operate properly.
If you go around claiming to be a doctor, but don't do anything related to being a doctor and in no way operate as a doctor, then presumably this isn't a crime to be fined.

If you tell people you are not a doctor, and you do doctor things, then there's no misunderstanding, and nothing to fine

But if you tell people you are a doctor (or let people think you are), when you are not, and you do doctory things, then there's trouble.

It seems reasonable to me that it requires both the misunderstanding and the potential to create public harm for it to be a crime/fine-able.
Glad you enjoyed Tomboy and Hackpad! I worked on them many years apart and I am humbled that you've used them both. Thanks!
Really surprised to hear my hometown mentioned on hackernews! Went to Carillon as a child, still around the area now working at UCF.
I'm rather wary of culturally based strengths. They DO exist. For example, being a good students is like being a star quarterback in the US. There simply isn't a way for US culture to have better academic performance with just this one cultural difference.

I'm wary because I think culture as a whole exists only to stabilize social stratification. Under normal circumstances layers will naturally mix, but if the mobility channels are clearly specified, you have order. In the US this is the mythos if hard work, in many Asian cultures there are establish systems based around tests. Indian and European systems had no mobility, being caste and nobility based.

Hard layers eventually lead to revolt, but soft layers didn't cordone wealth. Soft layers with prescribed channels are more stable.

So the existing channels are actually purposely inefficient and mostly stupid.

Entrepreneuship for example used to be forced. It was what you must do when given too much freedom. It was freedom in the sense of far too much, being ostracized in the desert.

Technology though provides the tools to survive in excess freedom. The desert can become a plain, once you have your endless water supply and teleporter that is.

The side effect is that these tools eat culture. It doesn't destroy the bike, but invents the car. Culture becomes a weekend thing.

Cultural praising often reminds me of hipster-ish praising of things like traditional razors and single gear fixies. People going backwards while claiming to be going forwards.
> All while skirting the fact that there is a clear correlation between higher speeds and higher fatality rates.

The NMSL was repealed in 1995 (22 years ago). Most states have raised their interstate highway speed limits from 55 or 65 mph to 70 mph and beyond. Yet, the fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled has dropped substantially since 1995.

Therefore, higher speeds do not have a correlation with higher fatality rates.
> Rather than dropping compatibility entirely, I've always wondered why no modern OS has gone the route of creating a "compatibility layer" that's actually a (very-tightly-sandboxed) VM containing a [stripped-down] older copy of the OS.

I think Raymond Chen discussed this on this blog at one point. The answer is that users want a single integrated environment for all their apps and not a bunch of isolated sandboxes. They want to drag and drop, copy and paste, share files, inter-application communication, etc. They also want a single look and feel.

The other reason is that creating a new platform from scratch is a good way to lose features and alienate developers. The core of Windows NT doesn't look anything like Windows 3.1 but for developers the API they present is similar enough to get them on board.
No one is wholly anything. To express an anti-capitalist sentiment does not make one _an_ anti-capitalist, merely critical of capitalism.

To jump from parts to wholes exclusively in the case of capitalism/history — from "critical of capitalism" to "developmental issues" — probably indicates that you have some developmental issues.

Nah, no it doesn't. It implies that you're circumspect of introspection into the very reasonable path from being "critical of capitalism" to more being concerned about the negative externalities in free markets than, for example, armchair rocket-science or whatever hobby you engage with in the ample free time afforded to you as a member of the coddled petit bourgeois while still managing to ride a high horse around the subject of anti-capitalism.

You do not, of course, see why anyone would be critical of a system that has given YOU so much, but of course to dismiss the active cynic of capitalism is to exclude yourself from your own liberation.

Had YOU been there, you would not have been redeemed.
You could think this way:
When you are driving at day on a parking lot full of cars you drive slowly, right?
And when you drive on a empty highway you drive fast.
Regardless of law or street signals, you would drive at this same speed, right?
Why? Because the environment are different.
This is the point of the article.
We have been giving tickets since forever and yet nothing has really changed​, and nothing will change, unless we started to design the roads with the speed they need to have.
ahh, my first email address
Also you can google the name to figure out how to use it.
So these guys just reinvented a Frankenstein of DNS and UDDI. Nice.
Either I have mis-read stoicism, or you have, or I misunderstand you, or a combination of the above.
For us at $day_job, consistency was also a nice bonus (we recently moved our web load balancers from Varnish to nginx plus, because now we have a single software package which does our SSL termination with HTTP/2, HTTP / TCP / UDP load balancing, serves static assets, caches, and is also the host for our application server itself, Passenger). Of course all of these functions happen across dozens of servers, but we get to use a single config syntax to make all of that happen and only need to track security issues, etc, for a single package.

Sure, we could accomplish all of that with some combination of haproxy and/or varnish and/or apache and/or nginx and/or various Ruby/Rack app servers... but we don't have to. Nginx does an acceptably good job of all of those things for our needs right now, and the support they provide for the license cost is pretty reasonable.
In reference to your first point, would you be willing to raise the speed limit once more cars start having AEB systems?
Appointing the chairman is one of the few ways that a president can influence the FCC. The FCC chairman runs almost all of the commission's functions, including managing the agency's hundreds of employees and setting enforcement priorities. One of the few major things that Chairman Pai cannot do alone is adopt new regulations. It is fair to say that Pai is Trump's FCC chairman and thus it is Trump's FCC.

edit: At least to the extent that any independent agency can belong to a president.

In your opinion, uber obviously disagrees. Why is life insurance tied to a company in the first place?

Bloomberg should retitle this article "The Ugly Side of Greed". But then we never would have read it. ;)

The people portrayed here are on the extreme end of greed & materialism.

I once worked with an almost-billionaire family. If you ran into them in a restaurant, you would never know. They were out of the mold of Sam Walton. Ok, they drove Cadillacs, but Cadillacs with well over 100,000 miles on them. The rest of their vehicles were Chevy Tahoes or Ford pickups.

Further, there are tons of millionaires who saved their money over their life. They don't act like this, and they probably live right near you, but you wouldn't notice because they don't go overboard on their materialism.

On the poorer end of the spectrum, there are tons of "credit-card millionaires" - as I call people who make $100-300,000 per year but have no real savings and spend all their money on "glamorous" crap that fills up their homes. To me, the article is about people just like this, but who have secured more money - their behavior is identical.
Yes but I don't see how making every road as safe to drive in as a parking lot (i.e. not very safe) vs. a big empty highway is a solution. The problem we're trying to solve is safety, not speed. Slowing people down by making roads less safe misses the point.
While it's true there are speed cameras everywhere (with ample camera-ahead-warning signs) here in South Korea, they seem to be duds or at least not enforced.

Pretty much no-one seems to obey the official speed limits, instead opting to go with the subjective "safe speed" as per the current weather conditions, traffic flow, visibility etc (just like the article explains).

Is your experience driving in S. Korea that different?
> Uber denied the benefits claim through its insurance carrier.

That seems like an extremely terrible move, even if Uber might be technically correct. Deciding to do that makes them look awful, and I think that's what matters most, given everything else contributing to their public image right now. It could have been a great opportunity to look magnanimous.
Other people have mentioned Magic Lantern, but it's also possible from an Android, there's an app called DSLR Controller which let's you do photo bracketing. You just use an OTG cable, and I think if your camera supports it you can connect through Wi-Fi too.
That's quite a bit of conjecture!
> Ticket them and make money for the municipality.

Traffic citations should have the ultimate goal to increase the level of safety on roadways. Revenue should play no part in it.

A better proposal would be to remove all fines and court costs associated with a traffic citation and change the penalty to only be demerit points on the offender's drivers license. If they accumulate enough points, then their license is suspended. If they're caught driving on a suspended license, they're arrested and go to jail pending a hearing.
The problem is that it's really an economic problem. The existing enforcement is a revenue generation method -- everybody exceeds the speed limit, so you can put a cop anywhere who can just sit there and hand out tickets. It's net income for the government, but there isn't enough enforcement to actually change behavior.

If you added more police then people would stop speeding, but then people stop speeding -- there is no more ticket revenue. Now how are you paying for all the traffic cops?
> In fact, I'll say this is one of the big problems with how lax driving standards are in America. There are lots of people who drive everywhere here who do NOT have the skill, attention span, or reflexes to be behind the wheel of a car.

So should we only allow some of the population to utilize cars? Considering how vital they are to the American lifestyle (the US covers so much land), that seems unreasonable.
This is pretty old... from Oct of 2015.
"Hedonic" and Hedonism should be defined differently. The semi-last paragraph gives a good point to what Hedonism is.

"That is why the real Epicurus – in contrast to the crude sybarite invented by his detractors – denounced the rapidly rotting fruits of dissipation and excess. The constant pursuit of intense pleasures will in fact backfire, according to Epicurus, because it leads to the psychological hell of enslavement to unsatisfiable appetites. The would-be hedonist must take care to ensure that the pain of overreaching desire does not ruin his peace of mind and thereby defeat his original aim of securing a balance of pleasure over pain."
Vehicle safety is a significant confounder here. It is possible that increased deaths from higher limits was more than offset by mandatory airbags, anti lock disc brakes, crumple zones, etc.

Actually it's pretty neat how much safer cars in America have gotten since then.
Why is life insurance tied to a company in the first place?

Again, my focus is on the suffering that has been caused. Not statutory or contractual liability.
there's no seeking for an answer in stoicism. the answer is already there, both within and in nature, revealed day by day through living a virtuous life. unrelated - you're using semicolons incorrectly.

So you're okay with people driving while drunk or high as well?

They might not cause any harm too.
Uber's self-driving system doesn't actually have to work beyond the demo level. It's mostly to pump up the company's valuation. Uber is losing money, and unless they find another sucker within a year, they're toast. They've already had to borrow on unfavorable terms.[1]

Operating a fleet of self-driving cars may turn out to be a lousy business. Uber's business model is built around others buying the cars, maintaining them, replacing them, and doing all the hard work. All Uber does is run an app.

Running a fleet of self-driving cars is running a car rental company. The company will have to buy the cars, maintain the cars, fuel or charge the cars, and obtain parking lots for storing the cars. They also have to figure out what to do with the used cars after a few years. Car rental companies turn over their fleets in a year or two, and are big sellers of used cars.

It's more likely that car rental companies will get into self driving than that Uber will get into car rental by the trip.

Speculation - not inside info. Again, I haven't been told anything about this aspect of the system yet.
> Do people generally want more freedom or less freedom choice?

I'd quite like the freedom to be able to commute to work, go out for drinks with people after work and come home again at the time of my choosing without relying upon someone else to cart me around, paid driver or otherwise.

THAT seems freedom-enhancing.
There was some similar commercial implementation like this called "time machine" (I think) that sold like hotcakes during the Y2K prep work...had versions for all the various RISC vendors, Linux, etc.

Edit: Yep, still exists. Was $2000 per server back then. Wonder if the price was some sort of inside joke... $2k to prepare for Y2K? https://www.cnet.com/news/new-tool-tests-for-y2k-compliance/

Now you're violating the rules again by making personal attacks, and continuing to post off-topic unsubstantive comments. As you well know, this is not the place for that. Yet you continue to do it. I'll tell you once again: stop it.

The fact that you have to resort to personal attacks instead of facts demonstrates that you have no better arguments to defend your support of bigotry and intolerance.

Why do you get so angry and triggered when I and others (including Sir Karl Popper, who is "generally regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the 20th century" [1]) stand up against intolerance, bigotry, bullying and name calling, that you have to repeatedly violate the rules of Hacker News, and make baseless excuses and failed attempts to justify that very bigotry, without ever denouncing the actual bigotry yourself?

I lived on the Isle of Man, where there are very strict 30mph speed limits in the towns, but no speed limits outside the towns.

The roads there are twisty, with dry stone walls either side, mostly. Except for the mountain roads that are spectacular.

Then there's the TT, when bikers from all over the world come there to race, and about a dozen or so die each year. Apart from that, though, road fatalities are not exceptional.

Driving there is great, because you don't have the constant worry of "am I going over the limit?" or "what is the limit here?". You stop worrying about the number, or checking your speedo, and concentrate on driving safely on the road. How fast or slow you're going becomes irrelevant, it's all about how you drive on the road you're given.

The speed limit is as much a target as a limit. If the limit is 60 then there's a feeling that "well, they know their business, it must be safe to drive at 60 here". What is authorised becomes advised. No-one can blame you if you lose control due to speed, because you were driving under the speed limit so it must have been OK.

With no limits, it becomes your responsibility to decide what's safe. And yes, there are people who think they can drive safely much faster than they actually can. But they they tend to head for the mountain roads where's less traffic to get in their way. There's also less macho bullshit around it because there's no "rebel cred" in driving over the limit when there is no limit.

Conversely, driving slowly in town is accepted, because it's clearly done for good reasons. Speeding in town isn't socially acceptable (if you want to go fast, head to the mountain and do your worst). People drive more safely, and more courteously because they have responsibility.

It's a great system. I wish we adopted it here in Australia.

You know what blows in the US? If you are unemployed, its damn expensive to get treatment for any mental health issues.

If they don't cause harm, then they shouldn't be penalized, at least not by the law. If they cause harm, they should.

You seem to think that anything that is legal must be "ok". That is certainly not the position I am taking. Lots of things are legal that I do not think are "ok", and some things that are illegal and I think should not be (such as mere possession of drugs), are still not "ok" to me. I would not advise anyone to drive while drunk or high, and if someone does it and manages to not cause harm, they were lucky and shouldn't expect to be so lucky if they try it again. And if their parents or spouses or significant others want to penalize them for doing something so stupid, that's fine with me. I just don't think the law should penalize them unless they actually cause harm.
