Cool! A discussion where the anarchists are represented clearly!

Do I understand libertarianism the way sgentle does? He compares anarchism:libertarianism::permissive license:GPL, so I guess he's using libertarianism in the sense of "absolute minimum amount of government necessary to enforce property rights."

As to whether you preserve freedom best by causing "unfreedoms," philosophy already has some pretty useful things to say, such as ue_'s comment:

Hegel ... described the freedom of the savage being a kind
of unrefined freedom

Some freedoms are conflicting by their very definition. Resolving the conflict is at its core the imposition of an ordering over the set of all freedoms, or in other words, a value system. Almost all the discussion on this article can be reduced to a comparison of well known value systems and attempts to sway readers to one or another.
Well huge suggestion there. Download games instead of handling disks/cartridges all the time; Use your controller (XBox, PS, individual versions all there) as you're used to; Be able to play games from indies like these or from competitions like Ludum Dare; Damn, even be able to make your own games!
You'd have to drink more slimfast, sure, but that challenges the assertion that you cannot survive entirely on SlimFast.

They also seem to have a protein shake drink http://d8m5oga7foiu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/1... which seems similar but obviously lower in calories, better protein:carb ratio though. They also seem to sell some powder you can mix with milk, presumably you could put more than one scoop in.

Not saying Solyent doesn't work for you and I don't want to sound like I'm promoting Slimfast. It's just not the first or only meal replacement shake.
> Returning it to Blizzard directly is good for Blizzard.
I'm not even sure if that's true. It's not like Blizzard didn't already have the source code.

If some distributed the source code, what would happen? It's not like people could start releasing new StarCraft games to compete with Blizzard. And it seems unlikely that the source code is going to give someone some kind of an advantage it creating other competing games against Blizzard.

Obviously legally it's Blizzard's right to keep the code private, and there are times where it's advantageous to do so, but this doesn't really seem like one of those times.
That's just the thing: software freedom does have moral value.

Power imbalances are abused. That's how you end up with stuff like nsa backdoors. Software freedom helps fix the power imbalance between users and developers.

It's still part of YouTube. And if Google is following their own guidelines for it, they won't ask for those permissions until you try to do something that needs it. Seeing as how I've been using YouTube for a while and have not been asked for those permissions, it seems to be working fine.
> Cook told "60 Minutes” in 2015. “I mean, you can take every tool and die maker in the United States and probably put them in a room that we’re currently sitting in. In China, you would have to have multiple football fields.”

In that interview he also said that the jobs weren't coming back.

This is one of the most powerful statements uttered on American labor and employment trends in recent memory.

I have shared this quote with every middle/lower-middle class person I know who voted for Trump and their responses have all been the same, horror.

Financial interests convinced liberals and conservatives alike that globalism was a good thing (for altruistic or selfish reasons respectively). Instead it just gave Capital access to cheap labor and totally fucked the American worker.
Don't think permissions don't really protect you from this.

AFAIK you don't need permission to _play_ sounds at least for foreground apps. So that means in a public space, it doesn't matter if your mic is disabled - if anyone _else_ gave permission for an app to use the mic, their phone hear your phone transmitting ultrasound, allowing you to be tracked.
Ask HN: How do you collect and store screen shots?
In the past few years I've switched apps to take and store screen shots several times, and the app I'm using now (Pixave) is causing me grief.

It occurs to me that this is a pretty important part of my workflow - being able to reference designs, interfaces, layouts, flows as I create or plan the same for my work.

What tool solves this problem for you?
Those are really not alternatives to the mentioned uses. The freeze dried food selection is somewhat limited, tends to be very salty, takes substantially more time to prepare, and generates a lot of waste you get to continue hauling around.

If your goals include speed or (less) weight, those freeze dried options are really far from ideal. To get around the weight issue you mostly need to plan and package your food yourself, which takes some time. If you're getting called out to do SAR you either need to have it done in advance or go with another option.
That's project panama.
It's an absolutely simple decision for me to make. It is not mine, therefore I give it back.

Why Experiment Server-Side?
Sure, but some things are more likely to be misused than others. For instance, Facebook. It's obviously a wildly popular and profitable product, but studies show that the more you use it the more likely you are to be depressed - but Facebook has a financial incentive to addict those users regardless.

Anyway, I'm not really a fan of Soylent. I disagree with its health benefits. I think the company is pushing it as a far more miraculous product than it is (especially considering the recalls they received for their health bars which seemed like poor quality control). I also think it tastes awful, but obviously that is completely subjective.
To be clear, I never said cooking was expensive. What I said was that if you want to eat "real food", you have the option between cooking it yourself from inexpensive ingredients or buying it premade at a premium.

>Cooking doesn't take long. At all. You can prep an entire week worth of meals in 1 hour. Refrigerate them, freeze them.

If I don't know how to cook, then I have to spend a decent amount of time learning. I also have to learn what ingredients are worth buying, and how much to buy such that it doesn't go bad before I get around to using it. I also need a way to source and transport the food -- what if I don't have a car, and there's no grocery store within walking distance?

My point isn't that it would be impossible for me to cook my own food. My point is that it's more effort than you are letting on, especially for people who genuinely do not know how to cook because they never learned, and I feel that there is no impetus for me to learn now that I can just eat Soylent.

>Soylent, to me, is simply about people who want to "hack" their bodies and be on the futurist side of things.

You can believe what you want, but this doesn't describe how I view Soylent in the slightest. Soylent is convenient and is healthier and/or cheaper than other convenient (relative to cooking yourself) alternatives.

The connecting of disparate ideas is irrational in the individual. It's only when a group of people temporarily accept that those concepts may make sense that things get done. Given consciousness is directly responsible for giving us an individual's consciousness, and that consciousness (either by group or individual) must try to understand itself using the effect it is trying to describe, the concepts may NOT make sense when getting things done. This may be why philosophy is frequently taken as quackery, and non-scientific. ;)

G Suite absolutely destroys Office 365 at the web experience. Gmail is far superior to Outlook online, and all of the Google Docs/drive online experience is extremely well integrated, fast, and intuitive compared to Office 365.

Microsoft wins hands down at the desktop experience though. If you have big or complicated documents and spreadsheets you can't beat Office.

For me personally, G Suite wins because by the time I need Word or Excel I'm going to reach for a full powered solution like Latex or Python.

I certainly agree with the article's premise, that Apple has put essentially a cap on what you can earn. I don't know that this devalues software as much as people copying does however.

Consider a couple of scenarios; in scenario 1 when someone publishes an App that is the only App of its kind available in the store. There are millions of phone/tablet users and you capture some some percentage of them and you make a few million dollars[1]. Scenario 2 is someone publishes an App in the App store, and it starts to sell well, then 15 additional people publish the exact same App in the App store and are so busy undercutting each other the price has gone down to 99 cents. But lets say this group of apps still sells reasonably well, then another 1500 people put out the same App on the store they all sell for 99 cents or are free with in game purchases. The original app creator made perhaps a few thousand dollars on the sale of the app. And all the people jumping on board made anywhere from nothing to a few thousand as well.

This isn't the first time that technology has released the creative spark in thousands more people, and as a result the market was flooded with new products that were vaguely similar. The industrial revolution had a similar effect it seems. As it became possible for more and more people to build things in a small factory or with less training and apprenticeship things got a bit out of hand and the thing that saved them was that if you patented your invention you could be assured (if you defended your invention against infringers) of a small monopoly to recoup your costs.

And if you had that sort of system today, you could invest all your time and effort and build your app and patent it and then not have to worry that hundreds of ripoff lookalikes of varying quality would dilute the market and the returns.

And yet it would be pretty silly to have a 20 year monopoly on an App that made fart sounds, but perhaps something more aligned with technology time frames like 5 years or 3 years.

The fundamental challenge is that it is always easier to 'reproduce' than to 'invent.' And if you cannot reward the inventors they won't be able to survive and we'll miss out on innovation that they might otherwise have been able to provide.

Not really, a hardfork is a explicit change in consensus, everyone decides that despite the code saying A, we do B.

The underlying code is overridden for a single block before reasserting it with full authority but it does not affect the protocol.

The clients and nodes in the network communicate and operate just as before, in fact, a client without the hardfork code can still receive and process the hardfork block but reject it due to not being compatible with it's consensus machine.

However, this is one layer above the protocol that makes up the Ethereum network. The protocol is merely interested in the validity of a block, not how to achieve this conclusion.

If you wrote a client that simply accepted all blocks as valid, it would accept this hardfork without problem, sans not having a correct balance record anymore.

What it would not accept is one of the newer hardforks because those actually changed the protocol and EVM to some extend, making it not understandable to old clients. Those could be interpreted as actual protocol changes.

A static website I think is a good way. The most important part is layout. Once you master flex and css selectors, everything else is a derivative one way or another.

It's probably not a good idea to focus an entire week on CSS alone. It's more economical and practical to spend a week's worth of hours in an otherwise broader project. That gives you real, practical experience in building real-world UI.
You might also be thinking of a Knox Box. A key securely stored in a firetruck can be used to open a small box on your property, which contains a master key for the facility.

As scary as that sounds, it isn't /completely/ stupid. The system is designed to make using this backdoor is exceptionally noisy. Your Knox Box should have a tamper switch inside, so that any time it is opened, alarms go off. At the other end, when the key is removed from a firetruck for use, alarms go off.
Seems like excuses for the hypocricy. "All men are created equal" means all men. Not just Americans.
I think the reason that Penrose's hypothesis is brought up is that the study consciousness are a part of human philosophy since its very beginning. Consciousness is seen in people to be totally the domain of humans and Strong AI represents either instills a sense that humans aren't special that they have consciousness and that is why there is a divide where people like Penrose things Strong AI is impossible and people like Kurzweil thinks Strong AI is possible.

>Soylent has a very high glycemic index

This is false, particularly for Soylent 2.0. https://faq.soylent.com/hc/en-us/articles/212769503-Glycemic...

I'm not saying Soylent is a super-food, but it is a food that isn't horrible for you (at least not as horrible as you're letting on!)
Do they own it? If so, yes. Give it back. What they do with it is on them. Crucify them, not the person doing the right thing.

If you don't like Blizzard's stance, deal with them, not criticize someone for not achieving the end you prefer.

I apologize, and let me clarify. I don't think Soylent was the cause of any of my problems. I had a problem before I started drinking it, but I had hoped the drink would be beneficial to my life. However, I started to spiral into my problems once again even with Soylent, and I believe that many others who are attempting to solve a personal problem using the drink will also do so.
This is you not looking past your own world view. If you have a healthy and pleasurable relationship with food, great, good for you.

Some of us like food too much, and replacements can help with that. Some people don't care about food, and replacments are just as good to them, but easier.

I find it odd how popular Soylent has become. I always considered it to be the product that it was in the movie: the absolute minimum of nourishment given a lack resources. A dystopian nightmare.

A popular argument seems to be "I don't have time eat something proper". To me, that just replaces the lack of one resource (the ones in the movie) with another (time).

IP is different that physical property. If someone takes something physical from anther person, the original owner loses that object. But if someone "takes" (copies) source code from someone, the original owner still has it. Now two people have it instead of one.

By the way, I'm not making any arguments about morality. I'm just pointing out that IP is different from physical property in important ways.

Yeah, combined with short range radio you could get a useful system. The lights would announce the sender's vehicle ID (new random number each trip for privacy) and speed / acceleration / whatever from three or four vehicles up front. The radio could announce more detailed vehicle-id-tagged information. A car's receiver can easily filter out unknown vehicle ids.

Random vehicle IDs are probably vital to acceptance.

I feel like your last sentence fails to acknowledge the conditions that a lot of UI designers are often just one in a line of cooks.

A great deal of UI designers aren't given the leeway or opportunity to make profound impacts on their particular projects for reasons including limitations of: engineering manpower, data, time, budget, or corporate willingness.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of the time, the majority of UI designers are given project criteria LONG after a lot of things about the project have been set in stone, including if the solution for a particular problem should even be a UI in a device!

The city planner you are thinking of is often a Director/Chief of Product (if an organization even has one) or CCO, not strictly a UI Designer.

For an extremely limited amount of use. The definition of "useful" is something along the lines of "can be used". We don't have different definitions for "useful" that range from "can be used 10 ways" vs. "can be used 1000 ways".

No one's arguing bitcoin has the same level of adoption as USD for facilitating trade. They're arguing that it has more than zero and that ETH has zero.

Two comments up you argued that having fewer options inherently means you're getting a worse deal than someone with more options. Bitcoin is an extra payment option in n>0 situations. "n is small" is true, and a reasonable point when evaluating the usefulness of bitcoin. "n is small and therefore n is zero" is a little less reasonable argument, but seems to be what you're arguing.

It's so incredibly obvious that the best course of action is to let all these companies bring home all those foreign revenues so long as a significant portion of it is reinvested in the US is a reasonable period of time, excluding investments in financial instruments (stocks and bonds) and non-productive assets like land.

Any money that is stuck abroad will be reinvested abroad, making foreign economies more competitive relative to the US economy. Anyone arguing for taxing profits from abroad heavily I can only assume has a very poor understanding of macroeconomics.
