It's about moving from treating the shell as a fancier program launcher to the full Unix experience that treats the shell as a powerful interactive programming environment. Several reasonably realistic examples are used to demonstrate how pipelines can be built on the fly to solve problems very quickly. Don't over-engineer if a "half-assed"[1] shell one liner does a good enough job. (even if it takes 3 lines).

The intended audience is people new(-ish?) to Unix that. Unix veterans already understand this stuff, but might want to watch the talk anyway because the presenter, Gary Bernhardt[2], has (in my opinion) a fun and unique presentation style.

One challenge with encoding negatives is that there are infinitely many of them. When confronted with a lion, positive things to do would all involve defense or escape. Things not to do include taking a nap, having lunch, provoking the lion, pulling out your phone to read HN... We can sift through those and say "provoking the lion" will likely be very bad and avoid that. All the others might get lumped into "do nothing" because they don't really address the lion. So I suppose I've answered myself - the negatives must be restricted by potential relevance to the situation in order to limit their number.

I like how you kept the site and dependencies simple.
34.7KB of js (~21 is mostly color definitions), and 4.2KB of css.

Just FYI:

1. You could save ~15.75kb by minifying your JS/CSS (a bit nit-picky since your resources are a fraction of what most sites have)

2. The 1MB background image comes out to 570.6 KB through tinypng.com (47% off!). If lossless is more your thing, you could save about 5% by running it through something like imageoptim.
I guess the picture painted of the pro-gun folks is often the extreme end - open carry, walk around college campuses with assault rifles to protest their rights - so it was perception-altering to see instruction along the lines of "don't display your gun in the car window" or whatever, and then to look around and realize that most people act that way.

I'll see plenty of stories about gun deaths via carelessness (Dad leaves a gun cabinet unlocked, six-year-old shoots his sister by mistake, that kind of thing), and the commentary/agenda around that tends to be "and this is why we need more gun control", and then you get arguments against that from the other side. So perhaps in my mind advocacy for safety was conflated with advocacy against guns, so it was mildly surprising to see that not only is rigorous safety taught, but it's also practiced by owners of firearms.

In other words, perhaps I read too many comment sections on partisan platforms! Pretty much every time I get out into the real world I see that people are never as extreme as their online counterparts.

I'm kind-of mystified what the objections to these new requirements are. 18 hours of coursework, or alternatively, at least have to explain your experience. That's a pretty low bar for being able to profess on a subject. If I were taking a course, I would certainly hope the professor had at least 18 hours of graduate coursework on a subject.

The rules these people are objecting to literally make an exception for them to explain that 50 years of teaching a subject counts as credit. If they can't do that, is it possible they shouldn't be teaching the subject?

Why shouldn't professors have a minimum requirement? It sounds like before these bare minimum rules it was a free-for-all.

Actually, the passenger side is much more than the half, and it looks like they've crammed in a lot of things in the remaining bottom portion, making the cargo hold even smaller.

These companies keep popping up promising to "disrupt" the media world (I'll throw Medium in there as well), and end up right back at the basic model, spamming readers with advertising.

It's such an interesting market; it's literally delivering text, and we have such a convenient way to consume it. Sure some text is (far) better than others, but like many products, the average person doesn't care at best, and can't tell the difference between crap and good at the worst.

NOx completely comes from combustion, fine particles both from combustion and brake pad dust and tires. The fine particle load is greatly reduced by going electric, one has also to take into respect, that the fine particles from combustion are much smaller and consequently more dangerous than brake and tire dust.

It was designed to distribute votes to slave owners in order to appease the southern states. It was never about protecting small states or distributing over land.

When the constitution was first signed if votes had been distributed by population the Southern states would have essentially never had a voice, which was a non-starter for them. Considering that these states were also the economic power houses of the US, not including them was also a non-starter. The electoral college coupled with the 3/5ths compromise was the eventual solution to this problem.

The issue in my area is that the "push" is coming through social engineering tactics, such as reducing road capacity and granting special privilege on existing roads to bicyclists.

If the change in road infrastructure were to occur after the bicycles became a more popular mode of transportation, that would be fine, but doing it before makes the whole situation miserable, especially for those of us who simply do not have the option of switching.

only a single voting office served thousands of people and couldn't affording standing outside for 8+ hours

Really, that's how it is in US? Any semi-decent country is responsible for creating comfortable conditions for anyone to vote.

Here in Poland there were 28k voting offices for 30 million of potential voters, so there's on average little more than 1k voters per office. It is almost impossible to be waiting in line for more than 5-10 minutes, even in the most crowded offices.

> While in many occasions he had admitted the faults of the Greek economy he never took specific actions in correcting them.

By doing what, exactly? The country was bankrupt. In such a situation, the only sensible thing to do is default. Instead, Greece will be a 3rd world country with almost no public assets, and mass unemployment for decades.

Regaining competitiveness through decades of internal devaluation is, to me, far less preferable than default. What Greece was given was like Versailles on steroids.

> fingerprinting by the websites themselves, where HTTPS is easier for them to fingerprint than HTTP.

Could you explain your reasoning on that? If they're using the Tor browser every user is going to be very similar on crypto suites, user-agent, etc. — it's a rebadged Firefox distributable so it's going to be using their HTTPS implementation and you won't even get the OS version variations unless someone at the Tor project massively screws up.

The bigger problem is that if you are being targeted by the website, there are far more interesting attacks they can try – convince the user to turn on JavaScript and do all of that profiling for WebGL/canvas rendering, local fonts, network resource timing to look for cached content from other sites, etc.

Just to be clear, I don't agree with N-O-D-E's political leanings, and I think the examples he used in this video were very poorly chosen, but I still think he has a strong point regarding censorship in general and the slippery slope our society has been sliding down lately, so despite the heavy-handed partisan overtones, I still wanted to share this video with you all. I'm curious what HN's take on it all will be.
Maybe provoking a controversy like this is an indicator that a paper in this part of academia has succeeded.

They aren't pursuing economic value or understanding of nature; they're examining the social world we're living in. If the author had missed her target, the paper would likely get no attention.

It actually doesn't require changing the Constitution. States are allowed to allocate votes however they want.

Fewer than 20% of gun owners are active hunters [1]. I wouldn't be surprised if it's as low as 10%, and more than a few of those hunters are pretty casual about gun safety and conservation, in my experience.

A little off topic, but...my experience is that many gun owners (maybe most?) are far too casual about gun safety. I'm a 2nd amendment supporter and lean libertarian, BUT I'm also a pragmatist. I think it's absolutely ludicrous that we don't have strong national standards and licensing requirements for acquiring, owning, and carrying firearms. I'm a pilot, and the amount of effort I had to put into being able to fly a small airplane is orders of magnitude greater than that required to walk into a store and walk out with a weapon designed to kill people. I think you should be required to go through initial training, safely store your firearms, and go through refresher training every 2 years. At minimum.

And we are all talking about globalization being the culprit which to me is a huge distraction from the actual problem: automation. I wonder if it's not a bigger part of the national debate because it would require politics to say that currently unemployed likely will remain not needed and call for something like basic income guarantee which is in essence a gateway to something very similar to communism.
It borders on the impossible to fake data on this scale and in such amounts. The deficit forecast for 2009 (the year the crisis started) was 3.7 which got revised to 12.5 percent at the end of that year. Any sufficiently large institution or cooperation that wanted to have access to the real data, could have done so with minimal effort, you can't hide a 10% budget gap.

The false data Greece reported to get into the Eurozone was an open secret, I vividly remember it being talked about extensively in Greek cafes after 2001.

I've been interested in this topic for a while. The article was fairly good but I did have a few minor quibbles. For one, ordering from IDGod (the vendor in the story) is known to be very reliable. If packages get stopped at customs, a customer can contact support to get a replacement shipped at no charge. Additionally, the advanced scanner BarZapp is pretty much a non-issue. Almost any ID purchased from vendors on the subreddit mentioned in the article will pass those easily.
