Why do we have to be grateful like serfs for any favors the masters bequeath to us?

Git is decentralized. Why do you need github?

Everything can be summed up with the word "social". Permissions, connections between people, notifications, contacts, etc etc.

Social is not decentralized today. Even though money already is, publishing is, version control is.

That's the reason we accept such posts as "wow thanks".

Imagine if something like Wordpress existed which let you run your own social network and easily put together the exact permission rules you need for your organization. Let you do everything in that post, but open source and free w plugins?

I thought back in 2011 there should be something like this. So I'm building it:

Don't beg, just install it and configure your own social network to do what your organization needs.
I'm not necessarily doubting you, but I wonder if you can say why you think the Tor project is distributing such an unsafe browser? If that's a very poor decision, does it call into question other decisions the project has made?
Interesting. I had not heard the term "glass cliff" before and I think I quite like it.
Is that because addiction is a recognized medical disability and thus the people would have a claim against the casino in case of losses? Or more for PR?

Cool, nice idea for the project!
This makes a lot of assumptions about the threat model of Tor users.
Unfortunately, the young people who are subject to the rental market are also very politically inactive when it comes to local politics. Berkeley residents - how about next time you protest, focus not only on national politics but also on your own city's issues!!
Please stop posting unsubstantively.
Another example of how "progressives" in Berkeley are all for progressive policies (and driving a Prius) until they conflict with their NIMBY attitude towards their home values. Holdovers from the 60's and 70's who have seen their home values skyrocket and now want to prevent building of newer rental units (the "Missing Middle", 3-8 unit, smaller apartment buildings).
Hi there! You also "don't get it"! That's NOT THE POINT. Who cares if anyone would care if women said that about men.

It wouldn't matter if women made that joke about men because we have a ton of privilege just by nature of our gender. Look at the context here! This is a company that has oppressed an entire gender and it just continues. And then this shit. So why does it even matter if women said that about men? And would they? And are they doing stuff like that systemically, like men do, systematically since the dawn of civilization putting women in a lesser role?

Is the Chromebook's rollback as absolute as, say, that of a device running a Smalltalk based OS in a 'kiosk' mode with a hypervisor overseeing the VM and recovery mode?
While plain text is compatible with virtually 100% of every OS ever, when I try to open a txt file on my windows machine it asks what application to open it in, since there are no default apps (Windows 7 and earlier.) This might make it appear that plain text files are a "special" format because it doesn't open up when you double click on it.

I have sent plain text files to some of my colleagues in the past (so that there is a 100% chance that they could read the file), and they were unable to open them because of this issue with choosing the default application, and asked me what app they needed to download to view the files.
This is very cool, but the perspective doesn't seem quite right. See the road as it crosses between monitors[1] in the first video for instance. Of course he's doing this whole thing with crazy multiple game instances so it's fair enough that it's not perfect.

Most games (even AAA titles) have even worse problems with multi-monitor setups, often just staying with a basic rectilinear projection that makes the siides super stretched out.[2] We could do with better camera projection support in games in general.

I've always seen this kind of unhinged NIMBYism as a backdoor passive aggressive way to implement housing discrimination, though more based on class than race. It's a way of making sure the "wrong people" (poor people, usually minorities) can't live there.

I almost have more respect for all the neo-fascists who are just openly racist and elitist. At least they're being honest about how they feel.
Might the difference be different localities too? MS has had several large fines in Europe for swinging too hard with their monopoly, perhaps they've changed this option except in Europe? It sounds pretty anti-competitive.
There is no office dinner time that is compatible with employees going home _to have dinner with their families_.

The point of an office dinner is to replace any alternative dinner.

Branding for Freelancers: The Essential Guide to Getting Noticed
This is basically "There is no Thread":

https://blog.stephencleary.com/2013/11/there-is-no-thread.ht...

There are times when you can offload an asynchronous task to non-CPU hardware, in which case the blocking thread can disappear. The thread reappears when the hardware asynchronously informs the CPU of task completion. (This idea is what Node.JS is entirely reliant upon.)

Consider if we didn't have timing hardware to handle this task for us. We could implement a timer with a spin-loop thread which checks the clock and fires off events.
But then when they fail, they would have to feel incompetent. It is generally more gratifying to rage against the machine in a way that is unlikely to accomplish something so you don't have to take it personally when it doesn't work, because no one expected it to anyway.
Yes, class properties syntax. I mentioned that in the article.
Assuming Debian Stretch still uses non-systemd networking configuration (which was the default case in 8 at least), or Tails switches back to it, systemd shouldn't impact what Tails tries to do in any way.
Maybe not just writer/reader, but also a presenter. In the context of education, a teacher will often be using someone else's material but presenting in their own style.
Forcing everyone to leave work early in the day puts a lot of pressure on people to come into work early. That's just as bad. The problem is the pressure, not the mealtime.

I don't find this a very compelling argument and it comes off as a personal attack rather than composed intellectual rationale. Instead of saying why you think this is a poor idea, you essentially say this is a poor idea because no one else does it--which is the exact thought process that stifles innovation and new ideas.

Regardless of whether teaching gun safety at that age is a good idea, your argument against it leaves much to be desired.
Is there an article or post I can read with more information? I was about to downvote before I noticed your username!
Ask HN: What privacy respecting (non-targeted) ad exchanges are there?
Google AdSense, Amazon, Media.net etc. all seem to run targeted ads, ones that set web beacons or cookies to follow users around and target advertising based on their browsing habits.

Is there an ad exchange that displays non-targeted banner or text advertisements? Maybe one where the site operator can declare the content area of the site to provide meaningful categories for ads to be drawn from (or explicitly set the ad categories desired from some choices)?

The only thing I'm aware of is Brave.com, a browser that blocks ads by default and allows micropayments directly to publishers.

This is nice but requires users to switch their browser, a big ask. Can anyone recommend me privacy respecting ad exchanges instead? It would be fine if the ad exchange monitored what ads perform well on the site and adjusted accordingly - I'm concerned about advertising that tracks users.

The sun is like 1000x brighter than any object you'd be able to get in the foreground. If you just want a shot during the totality with the corona, it would be possible to get it and expose some other things a little bit (though you will probably need to increase exposure quite a bit...).

But if you want any of the partial phases, you need a solar filter (not just ND filters), and that thing basically blacks out anything that's not the sun.

Chrome doesn't do process per tab either.
HPC applications typically have to avoid swapping, since they are likely to be limited by the resource manager and compute nodes typically have minimal or no swap space anyway. (The reason you might want a big swap area is to be able to suspend jobs in favour of higher-priority ones.)
It's often a significant performance issue if you even need to go off the NUMA node to memory.
Class is often backdoor racism too. Structural racism is a huge driver of class division in the US.
This is their retirement plan.
This is, for those unfamiliar with the situation there, not actually an exaggeration, but literally what one of my friends was doing. It had been converted to a "cottage" and it was one room with a bathroom in the corner. FWIW it was pretty cute, but it was about $2k a month and had no dedicated parking. Climate control was "it gets hot in the sun, open the windows to cool it down" plus a space heater she had. The people living there bought the house decades ago and paid less on the mortgage for the entire property than what they rented out the cottage for.

How do we fix this?
Being anti-housing in urban areas doesn't just hurt the poor and middle class. It's also definitively anti-environment.

The people who would've ended up in new housing don't just disappear into the ether; they end up living in some further out suburb, where they contribute to encroaching on nature, and where they have longer, more energy-intensive commutes.

To be an environmentalist and a NIMBY is a contradiction in terms. The bay area, unfortunately, is chock full of hypocrites of this sort.
This is probably the best take I've seen on the issue. Well put.
You can have controls, or you can work in a frathouse. So far, they've opted for option #2.
Not exactly, as the trustee it would make sense to consider all possible ways of making the creditors whole. And one would put down in their notebook "We have x BTC, if it was selling at $Y/btc each BTC we sold would get us z% closer to returning all the cash obligations." And then each time it reached $y you start selling, if it never reaches you are no different than you were to begin with, if it reaches it only for a short time, perhaps you can pay back some cash.

Now if you're creditors will take BTC and sign off on any future claims, then you are golden. You trade them BTC at market value against all future claims.
Ask HN: Is value subjective?
I just want to get an idea of what the HN community thinks about this. Personally I think value is subjective. I would also add that I believe reality is also subjective due to the personal nature and perspective of the individual.
> There is no way Firefox can guarantee anywhere near the level of stability and security Chrome offers without a process per tab.

It has no security benefit without Site Isolation (which isn't unconditionally a process per origin either for performance reasons). In both Chrome and Firefox, any site can embed another cross-origin site in an iframe, and it will share a process (and a main thread).

Chrome does not use an unconditional process per tab. Nobody would.

I have never heard of, or at least attributed any special meaning to frog + gun. What's the meaning?

I think if you give people a picture of a gun they're going to figure out pretty quickly that they can make it "point" at things, no real "meme starter" necessary.
The American constitution is not a single source of truth. The same goes for arguing that morality is based on the law.

The men who wrote the bill of rights were not infallible.

Sure, it's entirely possible to argue that from a technical or legal standpoint, it wouldn't be possible to require a firearms handling test.

But as far as principle goes, I don't think that the constitution is a valid reasoning.

Focusing on Autonomous and straight up building and selling a car are completely different things.

This was Google NYC btw.
The former seems obviously true, but the latter not so much. Many ruthless leaders (Gates, Jobs to pull the two obvious tech titans) have built sustainable businesses using these practices. It may not jive with the current narrative around performance espoused by HBR, but I'm not aware of any data around this.

Assuming "overworking employees" qualifies you as an asshole (not sure), it's not clear that a culture like that that pushes people to perform almost to their limit is not sustainable.
What modern server is this describing? "a number of threads ... which poll message queues..."

Sorry to bust your ignorance and/or biases, but laravel is actually a really powerful modern web framework and PHP7+ is marching right into the modern programming era.
#3 is very hard if you are living more than 8 hrs drive from the totality zone. Population-wise way more than 10% of the US lives more than 8 hrs from the totality zone.
I can only speak for certain jurisdictions but apart from the reasons you mention it was a requirement from the Gambling Commission where I worked. In reality the casino found its ways to circumvent this for the whales though but that's a different topic.
It will if you don't pop off the solar filter during the totality! I'm planning on practicing with the solar timer app mentioned by Smarter Every Day; I'm not moving anywhere since I'm in the path of totality (for 1:16!), so I want to make sure I have all the timing down for the little transitional bits, so I can gun off a dozen or so pictures at any of those moments.

I'll also have a timelapse camera set up on a wider angle (incorporating my yard, some trees, the sky, etc.) using pi-timelapse[1]

Things just won an Apple Design Award in the last 1-2 weeks which gives them huge amounts of App Store support and general press. That would have put them in front of millions of new users unaware of the upgrade issue. @appstore has 4.5m followers for example. This boost is incredibly rare (10 ADAs per year).

Those are annoyances and give increased complexity. They are not, as you described earlier, inconsistencies that make the spec impossible to implement.
Value is generally subjective, especially when dealing with bartering or trading, but things such as currency, have agreed upon values.
The strange thing is that the same comment has been used in support of gender equality. In Iceland, where every board must have at least 40% representation for each gender, they interviewed some female CEOs, who said something like, "Men are selfish! That's how we got the financial crises. Women will look out for the good of the group. It's in our DNA."
You think you know someone's ultimate, real goal?

Yes, I always get steamed when someone tries to impute motives to some other actor. But I'm not resorting to such here. I know it because the head of the organization (a while back, when it was named NCCH) said so:

The first problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns being produced and sold in this country. The second is to get handguns registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition – except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors – totally illegal.

The way women are treated is not a straw man here, it is directly related to why Uber and Kalanick in particular have been under as much scrutiny as they have. I believe what is trying to be explained is that unless you know what it is like for your job to hinge on your decisions regarding sex, and anything sex adjacent (ie. what you wear to work, whether you are flirtatious or not, whether you keep up with 'the boys' after work etc) it would be hard to understand why it is very important that sex and work be kept separate, and why professionalism is important. Many women are threatened by men in the workplace in various way, not the least of which using sex as a hiring/firing decision. When that is the general culture for women in the workplace, this email really reads more as 'if you aren't interested in sex (or being asked for sex by your colleagues), this probably isn't the party for you'. Except missing parties can also mean missing key networking opportunities and thus losing traction in the corporate world.
Before and after the totality, same rules apply as always—if you don't have solar filter glasses (and lens filters on any cameras), don't look at the sun.

But once the totality starts in your location, you can pop off the filters/shades and look with the naked eye. Just be sure to put them back on once totality is just about over!
Same, I use it for the free auto-upload and terabyte of space. It works beautifully, unlike any other auto upload tool I've used, and the terabyte of space is fantastic. I've used the auto-upload to hide photos (crudely) from authoritarian governments and I can actually count on it to upload instantly.

If it goes away I don't know what I'll use. Google Photos hasn't worked well at all for me, and I haven't tried Onedrive because the interface is fairly clunky.
Is it probability actually zero, or just infinitely close to zero?
And after you edited your question, if you want to bring reality into the mix, then yes, everything is created by yourself. You assign value or purpose or meaning to everything.

As a previous student and renter, and a current landlord in Berkeley, I can tell you exactly why this happens.

Students don't vote in city elections for the most part.

The city council represents the homeowners and long time residents. The homeowners want their property values to go up, so most of them oppose more housing. The long time residents inexplicably hate students and "what the students do to this city" despite the fact that the University was there before every single person who live there now.

So the city council does everything it can to keep those property values high, since the students are a captive audience and will rent no matter what, and for the most part don't care what the cost is because their upper middle class parents and/or the federal government is picking up the bill until they graduate.

I personally do my small part by keeping the rent on our place below market, as close to our actual costs as possible. The appreciation on the property value is nice, but the steady income is really what Berkeley property is good for. In 19 years I've had three months of vacancy, and two of those were because I was renovating and one was because my tenants left in a odd month.

>Please DO process-per-tab. I have a lot of memory. I want you to use it.

I hope that you ask them to add it as an option instead of replacing the current model. Firefox already uses my 8GB memory quite easily when I have many tabs open.
I've been using e10s for quite a while now. Yes, its great that they have reduced memory consumption by a huge margin. Unfortunately, I still feel page load times, scrolling, overall snappi-ness of chrome (I use ungoogled chromium) or overall browsing experience are way better than Firefox.
