Well, for one, I am Chinese. My parents are Chinese, so are my grandparents, and their grandparents.

I've listened to my grandmother talk about her grandparents, who are from the 1800's.

Of course we're drawn to movies and books and TV shows from that era. Same reason why teenagers in Europe are interested in Medieval stuff and Roman empire stuff. It's part of their history.

Is China taking Taiwan by force? Taiwan has been developing peacefully for almost 70 years since the civil war, I don't see any violence over there.

..."claiming all of the South China Sea as theirs"

Lots of governments do lots of crap, does that mean we can say the whole country and all its people want it?

And what does U.S. has anything to do with any of this stuff, anyway. Sure I understand if China was doing things in Mexico or the Caribbean, but I don't understand why they want to meddle in Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, and South China Sea, and then call Russia, Iran, China as agitators.

Do I think that's what the U.S. public support? Meddle in countries half way around the world? No!

And thanks for your best wishes.
Assume you want to eliminate horizontal scrolling. This is a valuable enough goal that a lot of coding style guides have a width guideline. That keeps everybody from having to make their editor windows as wide as the last person who worked on the code.

If this arrangement is working, nobody has to scroll horizontally, and there is no arms race of ever-wider editor windows.

Now introduce tabs into this situation. In theory I can set tabs to be whatever size I like. But in practice, I can't make them wider than the last person who worked on the code, because then I'm back to horizontal scrolling. Moreover, if I make them narrower, then they have to narrow their tabs to keep pace. So you get an arms race of tab- narrowing instead of window widening.

I just want to code. I don't want to scroll horizontally, or constantly mess with my window width and/or tab settings to avoid that. It's extra work that doesn't accomplish anything.
Could we not have invented GPS through completely civilian subsidies?

Sure DARPA produces civilian applicable research as a side effect, but what about directly funding civilian research instead?
Seems to be working extraordinarily well given the technology lead that SpaceX and Blue Origin are working on or already have versus Russia and China. That lead should widen significantly in the next three or four years.
Humanity is doomed. At no point have we managed progress and advancement without causing a whole lot of human misery. Someone always pays the cost for your luxury.
Corollary: All ideas worth understanding are simple.
That looks really cool. I built the cpuville kit a few years ago but its I/O decoding was borked, it didn't expose enough control signals through its extension mechanism, and its pin headers were at an odd spacing so you couldn't just plug a prototyping board onto it.

I designed a and built new I/O extender to fix all those problems but PCB design is not fun for me so I never made a PCB for it.

This one looks to have none of those problems.
Silliness. Paper is a sustainable, and easily renewable resource...we don't need to find alternatives if we just keep planting trees.
I would really like to know more about the involvement of the Stanford Research group in enabling these exploits. Speculating on a whim here, but it wouldn't seem like much research would be needed with the exception of perhaps either WEP/WPA injection/extension/decryption attacks OR wireless frame injection attacks that exploit the data link layer.
Far from a 3 year college degree though huh.
Maybe he meant the literal smallest?
Did they actually rule or were they figure heads? I was under the impression women were respected as much back then.
From the article: "To make a ton of regular paper requires 100 tons of water". It hardly seems silly to avoid that cost, fresh water is on it's way to being a scarce resource in many parts of the planet.
I did say "there's no hard proof". This was purely an analysis of incentives.
All the brands you mentioned are owned by the same company, luxotica. Even some knock off brands (piranha and the like) are owned and manufactured by them.
Falcon 9 (the rocket used for the GPS launch) is comparable to the ~$100m Atlas.

The Falcon 9 (in 'expendable' mode) is roughly equivalent to an Atlas V in the 551 configuration (it's not an apples to apples comparison because the upper stage Atlas uses (Centaur) is _really_ capable).

In reusable mode, it's closer to a 511.

Delta IV Heavy is comparable to the (upcoming) Falcon Heavy (though again, due to the capabilities of Centaur, DIVH will be able to fly missions that FH cannot). It will be interesting to see just how big the price difference is there (I expect it to be pretty significant).

Depending on the type of restaurant menus can need frequent re-printing. I'm sure even at lower-end corporate chains there is a cycle time where new dishes are cycled through while older ones are removed.
> * Without Falcon Heavy flying some launches must be done with ULA.

Even with Falcon Heavy, there are missions that will require the Delta IV Heavy.
But wouldn't it be in the interests of mass surveillance to herd people toward a chat option that isn't secure, or that the surveillants have a backdoor to? You get two benefits: 1) chat people think is secret you can read, 2) people self-identify as selectors / targets by choosing to try to hide their communications, which you can actually read

And if such PR herding worked, wouldn't the surveillants be prepared to pay for such efforts to make their job easier?

So, what seems readily apparent is: Telegram takes state money, to offer an insecure option, while dissimulating to the world that it's: a) secure and b) turning down state money all the time.

I know why this perspective isn't discussed in MSM. But I don't get why it's not discussed more here. It seems obvious to me. And personally IMHO, I think that's a good thing. Catch more criminals / terrorists.

Yes - we had the radio play CD's on continuous play as our office 'music on hold' system many many years ago. Half our customers would come off hold asking us what the hell they were listening to, and the other half would ask to be put back on hold so they could finish listening to the episode playing that day.

Sadly, we had some hooligans break into our office one day and about the only thing they stole was the CD player sitting next to the phone main console behind the receptionist desk which was playing the on hold CD's, PLUS the CD collection of HHGTTG. We found both at the bottom of the office building stairwell, smashed to pieces...
I wonder why it was flagged? I can't understand how it's off topic?
Aye, I agree completely. When approaching a given rewrite, I'm very hesitant to go through with it unless I have a strong understanding of all the files I'm about to have to touch to fix the resulting compiler errors. Ideally this should be straightforward, but the tight coupling often observed in poorly maintained codebases can cause the most innocent of small changes to spiral out into the template metaprogramming circle of death.

Even then though, all is not lost! When faced with an architecture change that really should be made, but is too large to make right now, I make a note of it on a project board somewhere and now I have a new sub-task. Any time I touch code elsewhere, I work to reduce coupling and correct dependency issues, so that the original change is easier to make. By slowly cleaning up small parts of the code, I open the door to making the larger rewrite not quite so large when I get around to it, and hopefully improve the project's overall quality in the process. In this way, I create forward progress towards the end goal without needing to commit to all of it at once.

I've always thought an easy solution would be to pay private prisons based on recidivism. e.g. The government gives twenty percent of all future tax income from the inmate to the prison company - until the inmate is incarcerated again.

The government gains an incentive not to jail people unnecessarily (loss of revenue). Prisons get an incentive to rehabilitate and educate.

The best stretch of my career, I was going into the office on Mondays, and working from home the rest of the week. Mondays, I would go to meetings and collaborate, and plan the rest of the week, and Tuesday through Friday I was working through the pre-planned work. I've never been so productive - I've since gone back to being in the office Mon-Thursday, and my production is a shell of what it was. There's so much more distraction, and I'm wildly less happy about being there than I was when I was at home all the time.

I'll have to go to eBay and try and find another CD set (see my other story in this thread). One of my most treasured possessions is my book of the original radio scripts for series, complete with all the edits and omitted scenes.

My introduction to HHGTTG was: (1) the radio series (2) the first 3 books (3) the TV series then much later (4) the other 2 books (5) the movie (6) the sixth ghost written book.

Interesting to see the difference in storylines on each medium over time, but the radio, books and original TV series will always be my all time favourites.
An interesting historical analogy -- in the decades leading up to the Great War, telegraph use exploded, transoceanic cables were laid, suddenly everyone could talk to everyone. Communications technology moved faster than political organization. War followed.

Nothing to do with capitalism or competition.

All that is required is the desire to provide a useful service for the least consumption of resources or energy, rather than operating entirely on the making of profit.

SpaceX is a launch company that happens to make money.

ULA is a money making enterprise that happens to launch rockets.

"I have spent lots of time in China. They still want payback for the humiliation they believe they endured in the 1800s."

"What I was trying to say is that my opinion is not informed based on what I have read in the press but based on the fact that I have spent time in the country and have read the local press, and spoken with the local people. The humiliation faced by the Chinese at the hand of the western powers is a common theme of books and movies and TV shows in China."

This is the only rational explanation for the illogical "maintain the status quo" arguments against wind and solar that come from the halls of power - in Australia anyway.

It's understandable in that short-sighted human perspective.

The combination of clean electricity, electric cars, and driverless cars is a holy trinity of disruption and it's sitting right on our doorstep.
It's wrong.. but not because you misunderstood.. thats what the writer wants you to believe... because the writer is attempting to pump the numbers to make it sound more exciting.*

but the article that they linked to for the $83m figure says spacex undercut ULA by 40%.. which means ULA was going to charge under $140m for that same launch.

ULA didn't bid on the 96m launch.. so it's impossible to say what it would have charged... but it likely would have been around the same $140m, since it's for the same gps 3 sat.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-space-spacex-launch-ula-id...

* Yes, I think the writer is being dishonest. They have a link to an article that clearly says 40%.. then the writer discards that number, and finds other data that isn't directly comparable to write an article about it, and waives away the differences with "seems to be comparable to"
Agreed but when sometimes you need the mobility

It's not that there's anything wrong with the technology. It's just that people can be exploited. And they get exploited. So the hierarchical power structures remain in place.

Seriously, what better dream to plant in the slaves' minds but the idea that "a simple little computer program" can set you free? And what better way to control them and stifle their rising-up than by the constant deception that they have more power than they do? Fools. They're all god-damned fools.

People talk about VR being 10 years away. We've already been living in it for ages. The Matrix. Democratic Theatre. We've all been living in a dream world. I think we like it here. Because, IMHO, most people would rather blame a higher power for their sh*t than take responsibility to control their own lives.

And whether that higher power's the state or some religion, doesn't matter. It still sets up the same power dynamic that makes most people, IMHO, slaves.

That's still a lot of users. By that logic most B2C companies (e.g.: Atlassian) shouldn't have a big valuation either. My point is that Slack has taken technology which has been around a long time, made it fun and usable so people use it, and most importantly they've got people to pay for it. GP's comment was dismissing Slack purely because of the tech.

greenhouse gasses' share in the atmosphere is about 2%.
of that 2% CO2's share is about 4%.
of that 4%, total antropogenic CO2 adds up to about 3%.

not sure what percentage of that 3% Lyft is responsible for but I'm guessing not enough to impact the climate in any meaningful manner :)

I can't speak for the people who flagged the article (I upvoted the it), but to me it seemed you jumped between definitions without giving much of an explanation why would they be valid or sound respectable on a LinkedIn profile.

I am pretty interested in making a better job selling myself. When I go reading articles like yours, what I look for specifically is the rationale of why people use this or that expression.

Have in mind this is an intuitive impression and I am not gonna break your article on small pieces and discuss all of them. I am only sharing a quick emotional response on how I felt after reading your article.
It seems a lot more likely that killing males would discourage them from being monogamous than that killing males would have the same population impact as killing females.
What does this have to do with "philanthropy"?
Haha yes, it was a typo.
Externalization is highly desirable to _all_ interests. The interest of manufacturers is self evident. The interest of environmentalists has a level of indirection; without the frictionless externalization available to manufacturers the process of feathering our domestic environmental regulatory nest that has been cruising along mostly unimpeded for decades now would face a great deal more scrutiny and resistance.

As it is many domestic manufacturers are mostly indifferent to the regulatory state; they have no problem with the US evolving into a giant national park because they have a perfectly good alternative.

This isn't some abstract concept. As recently a the 2016 election I recall video ricocheting around the right wing echo chamber of Trump opponents at Portland protests pointing out that the last thing they want to see are those 'dirty factories' operating in the US again, employing deplorables. Every single one of them was armed with one or more Asian made portable computers, but that sort of hypocrisy never registers.
When one is talking about Chinese territorial aggression and their desire to surpass the US as the geopolitical superpower, it is definitely not about the individual people.

Nothing the GGP said about the national Chinese interests was remotely controversial (perhaps subsequent comments are unrepresentative of individuals' thinking). Heck, Obama wanted to pass TPP mostly as a bulwark against Chinese ambitions.
On the contrary, I imagine a lot of the nuts are planted by squirrels! In either case, many plants have an implicit bargain with animals: eat my fruit, but you must carry my seeds out beyond where I can reach and deposit them there.

Which happens when they pass through the gut, essentially.
I don't think it's quite a fair direct comparison.

The $96.5M is for a single launch.

The $422 million is for each individual launch, plus assured access in a 24-hour window.

That is, the US Government is paying SpaceX for a launch. They're paying ULC for a launch, and a guarantee that if the US Government asks to launch a rocket tomorrow ULC will say "yes".

If the US Government asked SpaceX for a launch tomorrow, they would probably get a response of "No can do. We don't have a rocket fueled, on stand-by, and ready to go."* It costs a lot to maintain a spare rocket, launch pad, and other infrastructure necessary to launch a rocket within 24-hours around the year.

I still think SpaceX is a lot cheaper as a launch provider, but I don't think it's quite as extreme as the article makes it seem. I would imagine if SpaceX had to maintain 24-hour launch capacity their "unit cost" would be significantly higher than their individual launch cost.

* That's actually not quite true. By coincidence, SpaceX has a launch scheduled for June 17. If there were a national emergency the US Government could probably pay SpaceX to commandeer that launch. However, this is just a coincidence. If I were writing this comment on June 18 it would not be true.
Adding onto this, consider that China was, for a relatively long period in its development, the dominant power in its interactions. Interactions with the colonial West in the 1800s were a dramatic departure from long term history in a number of ways. At the end of the 1800s, the Sino Japanese War was also a major defeat for the Chinese. From a certain perspective, the current state of affairs could be viewed as something of a long-term return to normal.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Zeynep Tufekci knows more people who need crypto to survive than the average HN user, and understands their trust model better.
The claim of the South China Sea is a violation of International Law and the Convention of the Sea.

China has publicly acknowledged they are pointing DF-16 missiles at Taiwan.

China has publicly stated they will use force to prevent an independent Taiwan, despite the fact that Taiwan is a functioning democracy, unlike China.

China arrest and brutalized dissidents.

The rule of law in China is what ever the current leader says it is - Where is 吳小暉 (Wu Xiaohui)?

China kidnapped booksellers from Hong Kong in violation of the treaty that governs Hong Kong because of their political views.

I could make a list a mile long.

I stand by my statement that China's rise to power is scary because the motivations of the government of China are not driven by democratic principles that provides for checks on power.

The USA could have had an empire after WW2 and there was NO ONE IN THE WORLD that could have stopped them. Instead the USA paid even more of their money to re-built the world and help the countries which they fought.

The USA makes stupid mistakes sometimes, but they alway eventually sort it and sort it on the right side of history even if it takes time.

Deep Learning Promises to Bring Algorithmic Investing Smarts to the Rest of Us
I'm starting to believe that we need to come up with some basic worker protection rights that aren't attached to the product being produced in the country in which the law exists, but wether the product is sold in the country.

Stop trying to get foreign governments to enact these laws. It seems like little progress is being made on that front. Don't ask that products from a foreign country can't be sold here if the country doesn't have enough worker protection rights.

Just don't let the product be sold here, if in its production, certain worker protection right weren't respected. It would mean more ethical products, and as an added benifit, it would mean less value in outsorcing, so the retaining of jobs within the country.

I understand you couldn't immediately have laws as strong as you might have them locally. You want the cost of lifting the quality of life for worker to be lower than the cost of stopping sales in your country. These laws would probably have to be enacted with a similar graduality as they were enacted for local workers.

I also understand that they wouldn't be easy to enforce, at first. But don't let the perfect be the enemy for the good. Propper enforcement for these kind of policies can be something that would develop over time.
