I've ellaborate a little on the root couse of my problem in the first comment.

Ragrdig what you've said.
>Since I am motivated by making things more efficient, taking >a week to focus on better test automation and feeling the >reward of making my colleagues' lives a bit better.

That's what I exactly did last week for example. I've been building a tool for performance testing and automation and I was feeling good. Now, I'm done with this and I have to get back to my daily routines, which not making me happy. Moreover, one of my good teammate is leaving and that's just makes everything even more worse :)
Ask HN: What laws would you remove or create to increase competition for ISPs
In lieu of all of the net neutrality discussions that have been around, it is obvious law makers want to remove regulations. What regulations could we remove, or add to increase competition between ISPs so we have more choices to drive cost down and speeds up.
No. Our editors auto-indent the code for us. This is one of the reasons Lisp syntax is better than python. Python syntax does not have enough information to auto-indent so it really is up to the programmer. Not so with Lisp.

Can you define misuse better? I'm not asking to be cruel, I just genuinely don't understand why someone would find the kind of personal information collection that is happening already, to be upsetting.

I.e. I see targeted ads regularly, so I know that I am being tracked by google et al, but this does not upset me. Can you help me understand why this should upset me?

Barclays has already been integrated. We temporarily took the integration offline in good faith, pending commercial negotiations with them. Sadly, this seems like it was a ruse to buy themselves time to make changes to the app that break the integration. Their app is the most hardened app I've ever seen and it's challenging to reverse, but it's in progress. Don't worry, it will be back soon. :)
This is a really cool hack - thanks!
Weird. I distinctly remember at the time that it was reported as a car crash, but everything I can google now agrees with you. Ok, he died from malaria. I also loved his comedy movie "Contact High" (2009). Basically a European stoner movie that IMHO is much better than any of the Cheech and Chong movies!

When can I have direct control of recurring payments? I want to be able to "push" money instead of having it "pulled" from my account.

This is a totally reasonable feature. If a merchant wants assurance that they will be paid, they should charge a deposit.

The closest I've had is Entropay, but I don't really trust them for large payments.

Recurring payments are so abused, I can't count how many times I have been mislead. And there is a strong financial incentive to mislead people. And having to contact my credit card company after the fact is not good enough.
>That is assuming the people there have the resources to move. We'd mitigate them to provide opportunity for that choice. Those crumbling houses and decaying ruins will be the home to the members of our society least able to help themselves.

That solution isn't in building up the burbs though. It would be in making it easier to move to and live in places that aren't dying.

In any developing country there is a constant pull of rural to urban migration. The big stumbling block is having a place to live and a job for when you get to the city, not how fancy your village was.
Turn off the update service. And there's three settings to make sure it doesn't reactivate itself. I held of updates for two years.

Long story short: you can still decide when you want to update Windows - 10 steps instead of one.
In Monte, this object is proven by the compiler/interpreter to be transitively immutable:

object popsicle as DeepFrozen:
to getFlavor() :Str:
# Obviously immutable.
return "lime"

to getObservedColor(eye):
# The eye might not be immutable, but that's still okay.
# All that's required is that this object not secretly stash the eye.
return eye.observeCMYK(38, 0, 78, 1)

You radically underestimate the intelligence of your fellow humans.
Very briefly:

* Procedural law is the body of law around how a case is heard and handled: how to petition a court, how cases are adjudicated, jurisdiction (i.e. does the Court have the authority to handle this case), etc.

* Substantive law is basically everything else. Rights, remedies, criminal law, civil law, administrative law, etc.
Yeah, the announcement mentioned an upgrade to normal Win10 would be available from the Windows Store.
I've been using a Sprint AIRAVE*[1] in my home for almost three years. This product seems to do something similar but without the requirement of your home network

It's been a must have for my in now both a low-income city and rural New Jersey. Without the extra signal support I am constantly dropping calls and having the audio cut out.

That's not a fair comparison. That's like asking if Windows allows you to not use Windows.

Chrome let's you use arbitrary apps not selected by Google; web apps. These apps are first class citizens in the UI with all of the same OS access as Google's apps.

Go read an application for Medicaid (you pick the state).

Look at the things it makes clear and information it asks for.
I've always wondered what kind of person replies to these types of text messages or emails.

I wasn't expecting this guy to just give up like that. This sounds like a kid who's trying to make a few bucks.
Once you've rented camping gear, what do you do with it? Remember, the plan is that neither the REI nor your apartment would have any parking. Haul it on the bus?
> Photojournalism has impartiality at its core, not 'neutrality'.

These words are literally synonyms.

> Framing, composition are also aesthetic decisions, not just political ones, and those decisions are made both by the photographer at shooting time and picture editors at publishing time. The point is to draw the reader into the story.

Certainly, but the need for drama doesn't detract from the editorial aspects inherent to those artistic decisions.

> With film, large-scale changes were very hard and almost impossible to do with the original negative or positive, so elaborate printing techniques were considered to be almost entirely aesthetic and artistic.

No, for someone with a degree in photojournalism you're highly misinformed. Basic darkroom work is trivial to accomplish (it's literally taught in Photo 101 courses) and was routine during the entirety of the film era. Up to and including outright manipulation of photographs in many cases.

Famously, consider some of the "unpersons" removed from images of Stalin - although I certainly agree this is the type of thing that should be avoided in works of a documentary nature.

https://userscontent2.emaze.com/images/ca4cecf5-8daf-49fa-93...

> With the advent and ascent of digital darkrooms, manipulation and alteration is easier and harder to catch, therefore the appropriate approach is to respect the original pixels and not change any: the integrity of the picture can never be called into question.

I don't see how that substantially addresses the problem. Retouching is not inherently unethical, and individuals who engage in unethical behavior aren't going to be slowed down by your code of conduct.

To wit: did your code of ethics keep the guy from being removed from that image of Stalin?

> I also have a Masters in Photojournalism and do not appreciate the abusive tone bolted onto the previous comment.

Please don't descend to the level of tone argument. It's a logical fallacy and not constructive at all.
That's why you always get a receipt when you pay in cash - it serves as proof that you paid.
It's quite common, even in the home. The ones I've seen all need an Ethernet link however--maybe that's the innovation?
I don't think that your insurance covers things like MRI. Does it? The one I wrote about does. Dental too, but missing dental, like missing optic is the thing I dont understand. I want to be healthy, except my eyes and teeth ;)
The increasingly anti-privacy moves via the Aadhaar card which now links your driving license, bank account(s), mobile number and everything you can think of, banks charging you for withdrawing cash more than 4-5 times a month to incentivize digital payment, this is making me really scared right now

Pray tell what exactly was achieved by demonitisation?
Did you miss the part where I said I had both personal experiences from living in these areas, AND the easily demonstrable different rates of offenses? What urban area is trying to disenfranchise people? Where are the fundamentalist cults that think a woman should be subservient and silent? Which populations are passing anti-transgender laws despite no evidence of any problem? Which populations banned gay marriage, and which ones produce the people that (more often) refuse to grant licenses for the same?

Racism, sexism, etc are absolutely everywhere, but that doesn't mean they are there at the same rates, and ignoring that won't help us make it any better.
I'm sorry. I'm taking out a frustration about this whole comment thread on your comment.

Again, I think Basecamp is being transparent and forthright about something that most companies are terribly opaque about, and it bothers me to see people cheering as they get less transparent so as not to trigger message board haters.
Neutrality is a mirage. Journalism can and should be fair without trying to appear 'balanced' or neutral. For example, there aren't really two sides to climate change when 99% of scientists and experts agree. It's really only the news who tries to position issues as if they are competing arguments like sports teams. This seems like it's had a negative impact over all by giving a false equivalency, for politically motivated reasons, to issues that are by and large not contestable or debatable.
What I'm gathering at a really brief read of it (and without legal experience), is that Thomas is suggesting that if the money collected is no longer the individual's property, there's no Constitutional or legal obligation for the government to return it. So, like, evidence collected generally remains property of the owner, and people can recollect it, but if fines or fees are paid or assets are seized, it assigns the property rights of something to the state, it's no longer the individual's property and hence they have no right to get it back... even if they were found innocent later of a court case.

EDIT: cookiecaper's read on it is probably better than mine, go read that.

In the context of this theory, if what your body is lacking is one of the vitamins you are consuming, and this way of consuming it allows for the body to use it as it needs, the answer would be yes.
I think it's just that Hackernews doesn't find it funny.
This is nothing new. I think digitizing records of citizen can get hairy but it also has some pros.

The title of this report taken at face value sounds shocking, but the arguments raised are perfect here. You do not have the right to suicide or commit infanticide after a certain stage, nor can you take drugs. The point raised was, if we had 100% right over our bodies, we would have been allowed those things. Since we aren't, it is used as a means to explain why Finger prints and eye scans are irrefutable when getting the Adhaar card.
thx bro, I'll.

It's almost as if Thomas is saying, "If we reject the CO SC's ruling (which is what SCOTUS did) then we must also say the Exoneration Act is invalid". Which I think makes sense, even though SCOTUS didn't go that far.

IANAL
Taxation in USA is quite high (worldwide) and you can easily find place in Europe with lower taxes. Tax heavens excluded.

I have read all of it and then some. I have even spent money to consult with three different attorneys on the subject as my family became concerned about how this mechanism would affect our parent's estate.

You can find various corner cases where Medicaid estate recovery isn't an issues. Yes. Yet this is NOT reality for the vast majority of those being shoved into the program by the tens of millions.

I am very well informed on this front, having sought the advice of top attorneys in this domain. This is very real. You can choose to study the links I provided and educate yourself or reject it while armed with imperfect information.

In the end reality isn't modified. We'll probably start seeing the effects of this during the next twenty years. Maybe then people will wake up.
If you are interested in supporting an organization that is dedicated to defending public land I strongly encourage you to join or donate to Backcountry Hunters and Anglers (BHA) www.backcountryhunters.org. I know having "hunters" in the name may scare many here but they are core conservationists out west and are fighting hard to maintain our open spaces that we are so blessed to have.
Seriously? Lego has been in business for almost a century. They should have recuperated their initial costs for their molds by now.
It has some sharing, but it's not enough.

For example, California sends 180 billion in tax revenues to the fed while accepting approximately 30 billion in federal spending. In the EU this kind of thing occurs only in the single digit billions.

I didn't say it was undemocratic. But it is a sign of a government going down a path of no longer putting the interests of the citizens first. And we have many lessons from the past about governments who don't mind curtailing the liberty of people, all for the sake of security.

Is this hackathon an attempt to capture IP in any way? If so, it's a bad hackathon.

Is this hackathon a poorly disguised recruiting event? If so, it's a bad hackathon.

Are the participants going to feel used afterwards? Are you trying to use them? Are they going to have fun? You're asking people to come in and work very intensely on something and get nothing in return. If they don't feel good about it afterwards, you're hosting a bad event.
This voluntary program is now being mandatory to file income tax returns among other things. The ongoing hearing in the Supreme Court (the argument in the linked article was made during the hearing) is regarding the voluntary ID being made mandatory for filing tax returns.
Not sure if you're being serious with your last sentence. But I live on the edge of the grid near the Gila National Forest... and it's exactly like that. 3.3 million acres of public land to hunt and fish on. The trout fishing is amazing, and elk meat is hard to beat! For NM residents, hunting tags are very cheap and 1 large elk is enough to feed my family for a year.
I think the app and sessions guide did a pretty good job of informing about sessions, but I'll second the point about the layout of the Austin convention center. For those not in perfect health (I have a lung condition) it was a bit .. extreme. Probably the longest hikes of any conference I've ever been to.
I think most bank's, websites already allow for this. Look under payees or pay bills
In large parts of Europe, there are mixed use buildings – shops, sometimes bars, etc lowest floor, and then offices and apartments above.

Add in the availability of public transit, and you can basically always go to whatever bar you wish without driving.
Fwiw, there is an untrue statement in the article:

"With 1969 LEGO elements the 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V rockets its way into LEGO Ideas history as the tallest LEGO Ideas set, as well as the one containing most elements."

The last part is incorrect, the Lego set with the most pieces was Taj Mahal with 5922 pieces, way more than this: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/10189_Taj_Mahal

Edit: I misread that, thanks for the clarification.
In Italy there is a similar solution, more targetized to ventures and companies: http://platfr.io

That's not what happened.

He had a plan (allegedly it was a Plan B) for the exit of the Euro if Brussels (actually Berlin) continue with the craziness. The Greek primer minister decided not to continue with the plan and he resigned as finance minister.

The primer minister could be accused of cowardice, but we have to understand that Greece was threaded with the shut down of its financial system in what, in the opinion of a lot of people, was an illegal movement by the ECB (1). It was a really difficult decision.

I'm kind of stupid about the SCOTUS, what does it mean that "Alito concurred in the result but not in the argument?"

Edit: Thank you for the explanations, especially the fact that they aren't strict yes-no votes (that makes a ton of sense now).
Well that makes sense, but not what I would call "backing it". I think the terminology confused me, integrating other accounts, etc. is a clearer target.
It's also great for presentations/live demos!
Well, try to remind yourself that it's not permanent. Sometimes you work on things that bore you to tears, other times you work on things that are much more stimulating. There will be challenging problems to work on again in the future, I guarantee it. I would suggest unplugging from work/digital life and take part in other things that interest you that don't involve screens. Taking breaks to do other things in life will revitalize your mind and you will find motivation again. Also, you will discover that you aren't solely defined by your work.
This kind of ideological flamebait (regardless of its particular ideology) doesn't belong on Hacker News. Please don't post like this here.

Wow, I know that a ton of requests from Apple are revealed when using Little Snitch, but it's hard to imagine how they use such a significant amount of bandwidth.
They weren't claiming it had the most pieces of any Lego set, but that it had the most pieces of any Lego Ideas set, Ideas being the program for fans to submit their own designs for sets.
That's a decent, factual summary -- especially in the context of the ignorance and bigotry shown in so many other comments here.

> Because the upgrade goes right to Pro, rather than Home, for $50, this actually isn't a bad deal for individuals who want Pro anyway.

Yes. It's basically the Pro version of Windows because it needs to support the corporate-style installation, maintenance and control features needed in the education market (InTune etc).

The switch to the Pro version is free to education.

> Still, from a user's perspective, Microsoft locking down the OS and trying to force people into the Windows store doesn't seem that reassuring

It's very reassuring compared with the hazards of downloading Windows software on the open web. I don't see a massive user revolt against the Apple, Google and Amazon app stores, do you?
Indian Democracy has its similarities and differences from (classical)liberal democracies, which are themselves are rarity in the West.

The Central government in India is weak, Modi is trying to accumulate power and steps like these concentrate more power to Center than States. Mostly to kick in economic reforms among other things, and with great confidence I can tell, it will fail.

Having said, that an imperfect democracy is acceptable over some idealistic vapor-cracy. There is room for improvement, heck yeah, but delivering Democracy to 1.2 billion people even in its crude form is not a small feat.
SCOTUS rulings are somewhat more complicated than yes-no votes. There can be any number of opinions written, and every Justice involved with the case will essentially sign on to one of these opinions (while possibly noting that they largely agree with another opinion and just have more to say).
The OPs perspective in the Greek's mainstream media and elite's perspective. You can't even discuss the eventually of switching currency in the TV.

At the same time other countries which are not on the brink of collapse are prepared to face an eventual break up of the Euro (e.g. LePen winning the elections in France) and the only who doesn't have a plan, and God forbid it comes up with one, is Greece...

I'm not saying it's good or bad, just that "a step ahead" doesn't really make sense to me. The path Facebook is heading down does not lead to government censorship, and the path American society is heading down doesn't either. That would require a huge shift in public opinion and philosophy.
The worrying bit about this statement is not what was said but the fact that the media is getting fixated on this intentionally ambiguous statement to conflate the real issue of forced biometric data collection into a black box central database with no clear and well defined purpose or use, security or benefit.
