Eh, I submit that the networks were more than eager to support the fairness doctrine (Fox News: Fair and Balanced). The fairness doctrine was a fig leaf that allowed producers to pursue the appearance of controversy where there was none, effectively inhibiting debate at all. Frankly, now that the gloves are off, at least it's easier to see who's who in the zoo.

Ask HN: Does anyone buy domains?
I used to pay for several domains (80+) but now I pay for less than half of that. I know of platforms like Flippa but I was wondering what people do with the domains they buy.

Do you park them? If so, where? Do you build websites for them? If so, do you use a service like Wix or Squarespace? Do you sell them? If so, where? What are some favorite domains using the new extensions that you've seen or obtained?

I have been really interested in the new domain extensions and love to see the creative possibilities that others have obtained.

My favorite snag so far has been a domain hack of my last name so that I can have an email address and eventually a website/portfolio that is literally my name. B)

The conceptual problem I have with the Fairness Doctrine - never having known a world in which it existed - is that it could force broadcasters to give equal time to ideas that do not have equal merit. If we had anti-vaxxers in 1986, would they have to get equal time on every news channel? What about Obama birthers? Abstinence-only sex ed?

Or, what about the fact that the current administration has no interest in doing anything beneficial to non-wealthy Americans? I consider that a demonstrable fact; must my hypothetical network give time to seriously considering the possibility that the GOP has rural America's best interests at heart, just because someone in politics claims that that's the case?

Huh? As a general matter, increased labour supply _does_ naturally lead to lower wage growth. That's simple supply and demand, which is about as "natural" of a phenomenon as you can get.

It doesn't necessarily lead to lower wage growth, of course, particularly when you take into account other factors that might change contemporaneously. For example there might be union or political pressure to redistribute more profits to workers.

But the point is that with an increase in the labor supply, ceteris paribus, we should expect lower wages, and thus lower wage growth averaged over the period before and after the change in labor supply. The persuasive burden should be on someone trying to prove otherwise. That burden might be easy or difficult to overcome, but we shouldn't mistake where the burden should lie. Otherwise we're rejecting basic, sound economic theory.

- If two components observe the same store but render different attributes of it are they both updated when the store is updated?

- Are you limited to modifying your store only in your component?

I was surprised to see your comment. I do most of the initial interviews for engineering at Aha! and it is hard for me to imagine saying something like that. We certainly don’t limit our hiring people with a CS degree - and the fact that we did face to face interview with you, even though you don’t have a degree, is proof of that. Generally I am looking for people who are passionate about writing software, and it helps a lot if they have been active in open source. That shows an interest and ability to collaborate with is essential in a 100% remote team.

We do look for very strong computer science fundamentals when we interview. We are building software and it is much better when the energy goes into solving the domain specific aspects of the problem rather than basic data structures and algorithms. Some of the best people on our team don’t have college degrees. However they are intensely curious and always trying to understand how and why things work, and how to improve them. A few years of experience with tough problem solving and a desire to seek elegant solutions can be better than four years of formal education.

You're comparing the prices of only 2 android phones, when there are a lot more models available.
None of these two phones are very popular in my country or in China.

The most popular devices here are mid-end Android phones, like the Moto G series phones.

Furthermore, what is supposed to differentiate Apple is its software, because hardware is a commodity.

Being "the fastest" doesn't appeal much to costumers as compared to price, and to the default software experience.

In other areas, people get labeled as having "internalized the patriarchy" or such if they claim to find something that could've offended them unoffensive... it's always about the messenger more than the message.

The thing about this is that people aren't stupid, in the same way that a lot of people were willing to ignore Trump's misogyny. Asking "why would I care that the media is telling me it's terrible that Trump says things like this, when mainstream movies, TV, and music lyrics are full of stuff at least as bad?" is a legitimate question that nobody was even bothering to try to give them an answer to.

I'm talking about their presentation an initial editing.

To their credit, they did make the original emails available - which mostly showed that what the claimed was in them was... well, mostly lies. At best half-truths.

That's what I mean by selective.
It's not nearly so complex and conspiracy based...

They simply have found issue with dense objects (like books, stacks of paper) hinder the xray imaging they use in the scanners... thats all. Nothing special here...

It's similar to pre-ES6 JavaScript, the language doesn't have it's own concept of modules so a bunch of different "solutions" emerged and the entire ecosystem fractured because even though you were just trying to write a leftpad package you had to decide on one scheme and whoever wanted to use it better used the same one, too.

But this is Java, so everything is extra stupid. I can't say I have had much experience with Maven but I will say that what little bits I saw left me wanting to nuke it's creators from this planet. Even with nothing to do you can trust the Maven build to take an hour as it very slowly polls a bunch of online repositories and then does a bunch more tasks all for naught.

Then there is the OSGi system, but that is a synonym for "Eclipse" and all the cool kids want nothing to do with that, it's one wholly closed ghetto. Can't blame them, the x0.01 engineers that designed OSGi figured a mere module system is beneath them, so they integrated what seems to be a half-baked dependency injection system based on runtime-checked XML files. They figured type checking is holding them back. Also the tool support is entirely absent unless you are willing to use a null pointer exception throwing UI abomination in Eclipse.

My primary experience with Gradle has been in the context of Android and I figured people that come up with a build system where you can't go back and build software a mere 3 months old should really find a different job.

We've left the original comment that took a partisan swerve intact because it was substantive otherwise (plus the author acknowledged the error).
The complexity is mostly from people approaching it from a confusing direction. Some of the naming is confusing ("action", but actually it's an event or message, is the worst one). Somehow everyone comes away from the tutorials and docs thinking that the typical code structure used in them has to be how you do it (see many of the complaints on this very page) as if it's much more a framework than a library.

I had a similar experience with it coming in to a recently-started React Native project at work, having not seen React, React Native, or Redux before. At first I was fairly confused (see: awful terminology, painful example code which everyone seems to take as gospel and which had, in fact, invaded our codebase).

Then I started to get an inkling that I was being tricked. I looked closer and... it's two event dispatchers. One of which it's mostly up to you to implement (the reducer). Plus a really short list of suggestions for how to write the code (mainly: don't screw with state in certain places/ways). That's it.

It's paper thin and dead simple, but somehow most people come away from the tutorials and docs hopelessly confused. I think there's something deeply and perhaps irredeemably wrong with the docs/tutorials and with the way Redux's proselytizers communicate. I can't figure out how else they could manage to confuse so many people about such a simple thing.

"contemporary photovoltaic panels require all sorts of strange metals to make"

Certain kinds do (e.g. CdTe and CIGS), but not the kind that you'd put on your house. If modern solar panels required significant amounts of rare earths they wouldn't be as cheap as they are.

"Solar also tends to have quite high carbon dioxide impacts due to the manufacturing process."

About 30g/kwh of CO2 vs. coal's ~900g/kwh, and a lot of that is simply because it is usually currently made without green power (i.e. it will go down).

"It's tough; there's no perfect energy source."

Either I and everyone I know have ADHD, or the symptoms you listed seem pretty benign, and affect almost everyone in the human race.

It reminds me of the Scientology episode of South Park.

"Would you rather give orders... than take them?"

"Do you ever whistle... just for the fun of it?"

"Does life sometimes feel vague... and confusing to you?"

Calling someone a C* holder isn't sophisticated though. Its just a barrage of ad hominems designed to belittle, dismiss, and provoke the other side. I don't see the value colberts monologue brought other than to widen the gap of division in the country. I don't think a single republican heard that speech and suddenly felt remorse. Quite the opposite i suspect.
That's really great to see, and a positive for the industry as well. I've posted it before and will post it again. The only way to support quality content creation is for customers to pay for content. As long as content is advertising supported it will continue to down the path to 'fast food' content.

This holds for newspapers, buzzfeed, ESPN, reality TV vs. HBO/Netflix. And likely the web as a whole. The only way to survive off advertising content is cheap to produce, high volume content.

This means to have quality content either users pay per consumption (or use a flat fee monthly model), or other users produce it for you for cheap (ala YouTube).
Another anecdote from someone on HN, which probably biases pretty hard for people who have had success medicating ADHD. I dropped out of a bottom tier state school at 19 studying CS with essentially a 0.0. In my mid 20s I was diagnosed with ADHD by a GP and a psychiatrist and got a second opinion from a second psychiatrist who said the first two were wrong. I stopped medication because of sentiment like that expressed in the article. A year or two later I decided I didn't like what I was doing, and wanted to return to school. I saw a second GP and got rediagnosed and prescribed. I'm now studying CS at a top 5 university with a 4.0.

My personal opinion is that there is more harm from the negative stigma associated w/ ADHD prescription than good, but you can imagine I would be biased given my narrative.
This is really quite offensive. i'll tell the people who are desperate to get jobs that the problem is they really don't want them.
There's still people working on Visual Basic 6 as well. That doesn't mean there are no viable alternatives.
Ok, we've put that edit in. But please don't drop partisan tangents into HN comments. It's basically trolling, as you can see by the destructive effects on this thread (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14277404) and, even with the edit, mars your otherwise fine comment.
I do wish cargo packages were namespaced a la Github. Squatting on usernames is one thing, but package and project names are often the only way you hear about something. cargo react-svg might be a terrible project or a good quality one maintained by facebook, but you wouldn't know from the name. Because of the name, it'll be at least somewhat downloaded if that's a common need. It makes grouping by org difficult too.
The article seemed to be mostly about adult-onset ADHD, which the author asserts is rare or non-existent - it would be noticed and diagnosed as a child/teenager, or evaluation would reveal that it had been ignored/untreated.

I'd wager that Allen Frances has met many adults with ADHD - but probably not many (if any) who started showing symptoms only in adulthood.
As a veteran and a developer, I think this is a good thing. This title is just clickbait nonsense.

The amount of "schools" preying on young veterans for their juicy GI Bills and student loans was sickening. It was basically theft and left a lot of veterans in debt.

I saw many soldiers coerced into starting courses just before being deployed. It must have been nice for those schools to have a lot of enrolled students paying absorbent amounts of money who were not even capable of participating in the course.

Most coding bootcamps are already predators, keep them the hell away from the GI Bill.
> This post resonates strongly with me. I would consider myself a far-left progressive, supporting single payer health care, free schooling, absolute equal rights for all types of people, breaking up banks, heavy taxes on the rich, complete drug legalization, sane immigration laws etc.

Ditto.

>It's nearly impossible to go into depth and have nuanced discussion about sensitive topics even with people who would probably agree with you if they were just willing to listen.

I've left a local tech channel because of this. As soon as a topic takes a serious bent and someone is upset, everyone tries to change the topic. I left when I got a 24hr ban for trying to understand why a discussion of gun laws was "keeping ladies away and making the ones here uncomfortable" and just wouldn't be satisfied with a non-answer because in Pittsburgh, it's almost 50/50 in terms of gender and gun ownership. I didn't respect that person's feelings, I was told. They derailed a nice conversation and offered no understand. I wasn't the only person left confused.

"I'm sorry, I don't like gun discussion for personal reasons" is all they needed to say, but no, it was "another" example (which they couldn't provide any others) of male culture (note most of my friends who are the biggest gun nerds are female) pushing ladies away.

Another time I had people get upset because I mentioned that certain hiring practices that are discriminatory to women (because they stereotypically do the housework) are also are discriminatory to men who take part in their household. I wasn't trying to lessen the issues of women in tech, just adding my personal frustration and that I can relate. But no, I got reamed by everyone.

> What I've found is that the liberal base has become so polarized and uniform that any slight deviation from the narrative leads to accusation, labeling, and insults. It's like the left has acquired and autoimmune disorder and is attacking itself.

Exactly, it's extremely frustrated, especially when I'm _agreeing_ with these people 99% of the time.
What a snowflake move
Yes if the EU collapsed recession seems inevitable, but what if it slowly fades? New trade agreements will be made, benefiting some more than others, just like the EU did when it formed.

'Also not sure what on earth "winning team" means.'

Economic aggressor would be another way of putting it. For instance, threatening Canada & Mexico for concessions to NATO that benefit the US. Pulling out of the TPP in order to negotiate 1-1 deals.

'Some countries have advantages in some areas, disadvantages in others. But everyone depends on global stability, free trade and efficient movement of human capital.'

Do we really have those things now? I see a Europe dominated by German interests, treating Greece and others as vassal states. US/CA colonialism over an entire continent. Russia desperately trying rebuild their sphere, and every other regional power exploiting what they can.

Perhaps I just have a grim view of the world.

yes, HRTF, just typing hastily. If one enables HRTF support for instance, as this quick googleing finds support in an eight year old query on FMOD,
http://www.fmod.org/questions/question/forum-29423/
one needs to support/not support/test all the cases, with the HRTF enabled/disabled, user deciding to use headphones/speakers with whatever configuration they have. Maybe one will decide it sounds better with HRTF on with speakers or decide that's not a good idea and not allow it or not even support HRTF. It's up to whomever made the game to determine how to support whatever the user decides to use. So in the general case of games not just VR, one might have a console version and a PC version and may need to support headphones/2 speakers/multiple speaker set ups and enabling/disabling features on demand per configuration. So back to the original query this requires signficantly more QA/testing than supporting just HRTF with VR headphones.
I really enjoyed your portfolio.
The bird thing is not as big of a deal as some seem to think. Wind turbines kill a couple hundred thousand birds each year [1]. In contrast, cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year [2]. People still like cats. I also don't think the noise concern is a reason to discount wind turbines.

Of course, dirty alternatives have their own toll on wildlife.
