> When a dog ever thinks it is the equal of humans, bad things happen, such as bites and euthanasia of the dog, and maulings.

You've pretty much laid out the limits of dog rebellion against human control.

Dogs' however can't foment revolution, conspire to free all the other dogs in the state, create an army, capture or hold territory and enslave their former masters.

To put it bluntly, even in the worst case scenario dog-revolt is an annoyance to humanity in general. No one is going to wake up with a collar around their neck, because a dog decided it was 'equal' or 'superior' to humans.

Dogs' are simply limited to dog-level actions, regardless of how hard they're trying.

Human slaves on the other hand have no technical barrier to acting as competently as their masters.

---

Now if you say "that is objectively false", let me remind you that we're not talking about dominance, submission, correct behavior, or otherwise. We're talking about objective status in society as determined by humanity in general.

Even if you can find a single person who says "aha! I am dominated by this dog!", humanity in general will never agree that a dog---any dog---has somehow achieved equality with humans. Imagine that: dogs voting, dogs marrying, dogs taking wages, dogs running for president.

When people say they are superior to dogs; they're just making things up. If you think "that is objectively false", well then you'll need a better argument than "oh dogs can bite you if you're not careful".
So much hate in this thread!

Yeah, we use Phabricator since last September. Before that we tried GitLab EE trial for a month.

GitLab was ok but in retrospect the forking model with merge requests was cumbersome in our corporate environment. The way Phabricator works makes much more sense and the "arc" tool manages all the complex stuff like feature branch handling with automatic master rebase and branch deletion etc.

Phabricator has an excellent code review workflow... far superior to what GitLab offered back in September.

Sure, Phabricator internally uses patch sets and you have to install and use an additional tool "arc". But git without any additional tooling support just doesn't give you a nice code review experience IMHO. "arc" is filling the gap. And you have to know just two commands: "arc diff" to create a new code review or update an existing one and "arc land" do merge an accepted code review into master. The rest is vanilla git.

I highly suggest anyone to try Phabricator and its code review feature. Great, pragmatic open source software.
So more like a genetic algorithm then?
After you made this comment, a whole discussion[0] ensued regarding this topic. Looking at the front page of Reddit is like refusing to use kill files on usenet or /ignore on IRC "because I want to see what 'they' are saying."

The short of it, like many similar platforms from the past, is that Reddit is highly customizable if the user chooses that route (not to mention Reddit Enhancement Suite).

Building a Web Browser Using Electron
I have read somewhere that programmers are especially subject to sociopathy. Or rather, a lot of successful sociopaths grow up to be programmers. I believe the draw is the tiny rewards when program compiles and executes. At least for me personally.

I grew up a happy child in a middle class home and the symptoms didn't manifest until when I was 17. Looking back, I started a pattern of petty crimes such as shoplifting, sabotaging school computer, spamming teachers' inboxes, stealing answers to exams. I had 3 ultimatums from school. Because nobody understood computers at the time, I did complete my high school and got into a relatively good college for CS.

Just before graduation, my friend whom I bullied emotionally for 4 months attempted commit suicide. This is when I started to realize what I have become. I consider myself lucky because of the latent manifestations of sociopathic behaviors, which exempts me from further punitive conditioning from society forces.
What one can do is reset your body. Consume your own grown stuff and only drink spring water, from a real spring, and see the effect on yourself for 4-6 months. The problem is that there are a lot of people that grew in urban areas and they don't even know what they are missing. Simply put, most urban areas are designed to be efficient and so not good for you.

Will there be additional languages in the future ?
Wowow! In this position my first step would be to determine if there's any legal basis for disputing the charge (an informal conversation with a lawyer or even just someone who's been through a similar experience is a fine start). Even when a billing change is disclosed in advance and the customer actually uses the bandwidth, massive spikes in metered pricing are a tricky area and have attracted the attention of regulators in the past--for instance telecoms have come under fire by charging sky-high overage fees for mobile data and not warning you until you've already racked up a few extra zeroes worth of charges on your next bill.

Also, immediately dispute the charge with your credit card company, as you want this on their radar. Their interests are aligned with yours to at least some degree (if Google's causing financial distress for one of their customers with thousands of dollars in unanticipated charges, how many others may get hit?).

Aside from that, if things played out as described: major dick move, Google! Is "do no evil" a bad joke these days? Seriously, though, Google is not a dumb company and my guess is that if the right person was made aware of this case (e.g., anyone who understands that the most important word in "customer relationship" is the second one), they would make it right.

I'm totally on the side of the author: when possible, it's worth a little extra elbow grease to build your business on top of free, self-hosted software instead of proprietary SaaS. Think of it as insurance against cases like this one.

As someone from a country where this happens (in Brazil it's mandatory to have employees to handle fuel pumps in order to protect jobs), I think it's crazy to even think this is a good idea.

As result, we have terrible service with an expensive price.

> The effect of these laws is that more and more people will not have a personal connection to these animals

IMO not true. Photography / cinematography have historically proven to move people enough to take action (eg. war photography, poached animals, rhinos with their horns cut, etc.). Zoos only provides a little more than a photography. Can you pet the animal? Should you if you could? Would that help to make the point of protecting them?

I don't think this justifies transporting the animal on the other side of the planet into unnatural, prison like conditions where they often suffer both mentally and physically.

Sanctuaries are IMO way better in that they are built in animal's natural environment, further from cities, where the animals can live their lives in peace instead of being stressed by thousands of visitors every day.
I'm amazed by the fact this had actually gone through several levels of approval, and yet nobody noticed anything wrong with a request to snap a photo of your CC and post it online.
I also have the same fears as you. I was raised going to the zoo and aquariums a lot when I was young. Although I don't actively participate in anything to help conserve wildlife (anything substantial at least) I consider myself someone who really cares for wildlife. Although I go to the zoo with my son quite frequently I feel his generation (or the next) may not appreciate wildlife as a whole.

In my case it's not, and you also need my billing address to use my card, which isn't printed on it. Still, if you manage to collect 5000 credit card numbers, the CVV is 3 digits, which gives you 1000 possibilities and 1 - 0.999 * * 5000 = 0.99, so statistically you should hit one in 5000 cards if you guess CVV randomly.

> Photography / cinematography have historically proven to move people enough to take action

I think pictures have a much bigger impact on "moving" adults but zoos and aquariums have a greater overall impact for children (just my opinion).

What is the driving force behind moving animals to sanctuaries and protecting them? It's the love and care people have towards the animals and species, right? I'm not saying taking away zoos and aquariums are going to make humans cold blooded but I really think they help overall.
It actually seems almost like the definition of RANSAC.

The leaker went to The Washington Post when they had some damaging audio tapes on the conservative. There were clearly no need to go through Wikileaks. The DNC leak on the other hand were not published by the Washington Post, and I recall how the top voted article here on HN during that day said that Washington Post had been pulling articles off their site and it was only until very late on the day that they allowed any word about the incident.

But its a bit ironic to complain about a lack of leaks about the conservatives in an article about Chelsea Manning. President George W. Bush was a conservative president and the leak provided by manning through Wikileaks was criticizing the war that Bush ran. We would not be here talking if Wikileaks did not publish dumps on conservative.

Nope, the size is the big thing. Weight is a factor but the mini is a good size for holding. The 9.7 will always be more awkward than the mini. So, yes, a lighter 9.7 does not replace the mini. That argument is the same as saying a lighter 12" could replace the 9.7 which doesn't work because the 12 is painfully awkward to use.
There are some payment solutions where you don't even need to fill in the CVC. (I've ordered on Amazon a few years ago without needing to fill it in) Besides that, there were a couple people last year(s) who showed that you can obtain the CVC in an instant by submitting CVC's from 0 to 999, with the same credit card info, to many websites. (This was tested for Visa I believe)

Edit: See http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/criminals-guess-v... / https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13099949
Absolutely yes, a great many payment platforms will accept the details sans security code, as a card-not-present transaction.

It's called sRGB and it supposedly has a "black point" which is not entirely black. Nobody uses it though, on photos it would be useless. Also for me black on white is perfectly fine in a well lit room. White on pitch black is indeed problematic. Anyway, it could be a user/browser preference instead of a designer preference.

Lowering brightness shouldn't distort color-calibration too. You are supposed to match your brightness to the surrounding lighting too.

The CVC number is just one security measure in a credit card. One of the legitimacy signals, so to speak, and its absence is not an immediate fraud flag.

While a bad security practise, a transaction can still go through if the other verification signals like expiry, name, billing address, etc (most of which are accessible through social media, btw) provide sufficient confidence in the legitimacy of the transaction.
