With prevalence of smart phones and security cameras I think that ship has sailed long time ago. Only argument you could make is "but now the cameras are out all the time and they can just record me!", but reality is that you are not that important. No one is going to film you, because no one cares. It's same reason why we don't take "gang stalking victims" seriously, you are just delusional.
What has worked out well for me is a flip phone. The modern ones have all the offline smartphone features you need to get by. Call, text, alarms, calculator, camera. I have found it to be rugged, inexpensive, and one week battery life is a great selling point.

And when I get home to my computer, the refreshing relaxation of the internet is great.

> some whack job US president who decided not to subsidize some other participant economies in the short term

Many people don't agree with you opinion "decided not subsidize" and describe that as a much more serious crime.
>The problem is, the economies that have strong government actor working on behalf of consumers (either in the form of regulation, or a public corporation that competes in the market too) are actually affected less.

I don't see any evidence for that. A couple counter-examples: Singapore and developing countries like India and China have more market based healthcare systems than Western Europe and the US, and spend far less on healthcare as a percentage of GDP. India and China are making significant gains in life expectancy, but that may be explained away by the fact that they're starting from a lower level. Singapore however has a higher life expectancy than European countries.

The US is the outlier, with approximately half of healthcare spending being private, yet spending a very high percentage of GDP on healthcare. But I would argue that much of this 'private' is quasi public, as it's a manufactured outcome as a result of significant intervention by state and federal governments, like tax incentives for employers to provide healthcare through large insurance companies, and state mandates requiring health insurance to be comprehensive.

The fields of medicine in the US less subsidized via these kinds of interventions; cosmetic and laser eye surgery, have seen prices increase at below the rate of inflation.

The key is that people pay out of pocket for cosmetic and laser eye surgery:

http://healthblog.ncpa.org/why-cant-the-market-for-medical-c...

The government intervention in the private US healthcare system encourages exactly the opposite.

Also with respect to US healthcare spending, it's worth mentioning the US is a higher income country than other OECD countries, and there seems to be a trend toward healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP increasing with level of wealth, independent of all other factors. The US does have a more capitalised healthcare system, with more diagnostic equipment and advanced treatment centres for things like neonatal care. Often not mentioned is that the US has some of the best cancer survival rates in the world.

Mind you, the US is definitely suffering from the cost disease in healthcare, but the relatively higher wealth level of the US may explain the difference with Europe.
That is incorrect. The Supreme Court's decision is with respect to "overconcentration" of blacks, in a context where, when divided, they were able to elect their preferred candidates. Their guiding principle is still that blacks must be neither diluted enough to make their votes irrelevant in "their own" areas, nor concentrated enough to make their votes irrelevant outside - as the dissent notes, this itself amounts to a racial gerrymander (you don't get to club yourself in the head when drawing district lines and "forget" that certain areas are heavy in both blacks and democrats). They did not overrule Gingles, they cite the state's action as contravening it.

Unsurprisingly their jurisprudence on this is a shitshow as they try to square this circle while pretending like it is some sort of neutral antidiscrimination provision while also attempting to secure a minimum threshold of black political power.

Eh, this was a pickup game - no helmets, just kids playing. I was actually walking away from the box because I had to leave so I'm not really sure why it was thrown at me. Didn't find out either, just scowled and left. And it was only a few seconds of being unaware. I wasn't completely limp, just was walking out and then I was suddenly on my hands and knees.

Not really, a lot of the income inequality comes from having a large underclass stuck in a cycle of generational poverty for various reasons (often/mostly related to structural racism).
Disagree. Have been using this for a week on my iPad and like it a lot better.

There's so much more information on screen, you can configure what buttons appear in control center, and it's much harder to accidentally kill an app (I did this on accident with an upward swipe on iOS 10).
Individuals can do better, but nations in aggregate are acting to increase global warming. The CO2 footprint game is a tool for political spin, not identifying what bodies are at fault now. Is it the US because the President broke out of a non-binding treaty? or China as the actual physical top polluter? or India who is poised to compete for that position despite existing agreements to reduce emissions already in place? (http://instituteforenergyresearch.org/analysis/india-opening...)

It's one thing to be positive and denounce symbolic political actions, but it's another to lose sight of what's going on in the world and weighing the physical effects.
Sure, you can reduce the RTT by moving the edge closer to the eyeballs but that's not the same as avoiding an RTT as the OP stated. That's what all I was commenting on. There are mechanisms however to do that such as sessions tickets/resumption but that's not something specific to load balancers.
Boo fucking hoo.. look at me
also it seems its not the paint that's expensive, but the retooling, so it's a one time cost.

really seems much ado about nothing.
It absolutely is. One of the biggest arguments today about global warming is that since Al Gore lives in a mansion and rides in a personal jet, it's not real, because he personally isn't doing anything about it by moving(?) or flying commercial.

You should read some right winger stuff now and again. It's another world.
I would bet it still adds latency unless your site is completely static. For anything that needs to hit your servers you->cloudflare->server is still slower than you->server. On the round trip that's added two extra hops so maybe 100ms.

The golden age of CDN's is over. Their primary advantage was being able to open up many parallel connections using multiple subdomains and the ability to cache across domains.

With http2 multiple connections have become a bad thing and https is mandatory so CDN caching is irrelevant.

On http2 and a tiny AWS instance I can get sub 200ms page loads from anywhere in the US if I host in the midwest. The gain from avoiding multiple HTTP connections, TCP slow starts, and TLS negotiations negates all the speed advantages of using a CDN. Cloudflare might be worthwhile if you get massive traffic but a small Nginx instance can handle hundreds of megabytes per second of traffic.

The German Me-262 wasn't painted on the inside because it wasn't expected to last long enough to corrode.
It takes significantly less than a second to turn a screw once. A couple orders of magnitude less actually, to give it some relation to the computer question.

Which really just demonstrates the point, I think. At some point things are "fast enough" that it just doesn't matter. We've reached that point with computers. Unless you are working in a niche field that needs serious compute, the sources of performance problems are almost never going to arise from issues like trying to execute too many add instructions in a given period. The delays will come from things that are significantly harder to see - network, database, or program architecture + runtime.

Oh I agree that it's a good start and gerrymandering is bad, but can you honestly imagine this type of bill passing in this political environment? Congress has a, what, 12% approval rating?

Multi-member districts are what we have in Spain. While in theory they increase the proportionality of the election results, the downside is that there is no clear representative for a district. To whom do I write to complain when my province has 7 seats in parliament? What if it has 30?
The US is quite hypocritical about interfering with the political process of other countries and now that it's happened to us, we're going nuts.

It's a good thing because if some countries went down a political path, it would be very adverse to our self interests and the interests of the world at large (Iran 1979, Cuba 1959, Germany 1939, etc).

Also, "the right thing to do," is a very relative term.

> In fact, Delaney himself was "first elected in a gerrymandered district created specifically for him," according to @mobilefriendly's linked sources.

I fail to see how that's an argument for anything. Unless maybe, if you want to argue that Delaney is voting against his personal interest.

> Gerrymandering is generally not that big of a deal and cracking down on it doesn't solve much, as populations are naturally segmented[1].
> [1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/12/01/ca....

That primarily seems to be an argument for it not being that a huge issue in CA. Or maybe that the mechanisms for redistricting weren't great in CA.

Given that a significant numbers of states have houses with significantly different party percentages than the popular vote suggests, this is a hard to understand argument.
This reminds me of the simple way my brother and I used to split treats (cake, chocolate, etc) evenly and without fights. One of us would cut, and the other would choose a piece. That way, you could bet your behind that whoever was cutting would be as even as humanly possible.
The double wrap, once in plastic and then again in foil probably makes it work. Same as you can boil water in a plastic cup over an open fire. As long and the ribs are sufficiently moist, the steam will keep the plastic below melting temps and foil will reflect a lot of infrared. They make microwave steamer bags out of plastic, and even pre-made pork chop oven bags. Modern plastic wrap is also supposedly free of all the leachable nasty phthalates and stuff of yesteryear. I can see it working out.

That said, I don’t understand why double wrapping ribs would be any more effective than well crimped foil wrapping.

Do you specifically hire D3 developers? This sounds like a pretty difficult "coding challenge" for a non-D3 guy, let alone someone who may not even primarily use javascript. Having used D3 sparingly before i've found it something that requires a fair amount of upfront domain knowledge to get much done beyond something extremely simple (unless of course you copy an existing example, which is what I always did). This seems unreasonably difficult for someone with no prior knowledge to accomplish in a 48 hour window whilst working etc -- you may find you are inadvertently optimizing your interview process for the unemployed with this kind of time limit / coding investment.

Ask HN: Are there specific Cloud for Students?
Is there something really called cloud for students? DigitalOcean is focused on developers. Does it make sense to have Cloud for Student only?
Probably not, no. Tit for tat is optimal prisoners dilemma strategy.
I agree that it is "useless trivia."

The reason is that things today are "fast enough." These days most slowdowns aren't the result of the CPU not executing instructions fast enough. Other factors dominate, such as memory access patterns, network delays, and interfacing with other complex software such as databases.

Unless you are doing compute-heavy code, the speed of the CPU isn't much of a factor in estimating how fast the program will run.
My understanding is that shipping containers are usually made of COR-TEN steel, which forms a protective layer when it does rust (similar to the protective oxide layers that form on aluminum and stainless steel). But considering the containers are exposed to sea salt spray pretty much continuously, it makes sense that the additional protection of a coat of paint is necessary.

Apple wants to keep positioning iOS on iPad as the de-facto post-pc "get work done" platform and to do so the UI needs to feel less constrained, more capable and appeal slightly more to "post-pc power users". Choosing to add UI like this to the iPad form-factor while omitting it from the iPhone screen size is likely proof that Apple believes the iPhone still needs a more constrained, more friendly and extremely low cognitive overhead UX while the iPad will start dabbling into more "multi-task enabling" UX.

One other thought: I think the author is a bit harsh on this particular UX on iPad primarily because the author is omitting (or forgetting) the fact that when a user enters the app switcher he or she will likely already be anticipating the primary area of focus on the screen that appears and will tunnel-vision his/her focus to only that region of the screen. In other words, after using the new app switcher a dozen or so times the user will unconsciously focus on only the region of that screen they know contains the actions he/she is looking for and they will do this in a anticipatory fashion since we are, after all, relentless pattern recognition machines. So I argue that what the designers have done here is to maximize instantaneously available information density while simultaneously utilizing classic visual design cues (such as "items in closer proximity to each other have similar purpose") to create 3 primary regions in which, per any given usage of the app switcher, a user is likely only focusing on one region. Here's a quick visualization I've done, a sort of heatmap of how user's would likely process this UI:

http://imgur.com/a/FC1k5

The light areas are the areas which users are most likely to focus on and they'll only be focusing on one of three regions most the time. The darker areas are there as increased available information density but the overall UI design is done well enough so that these darker areas should not negatively impact the "80% of the time" lighter areas but instead only serve to help the user during the "20% of the time" scenarios.
I thought the auto industry had mostly already switched to waterborne paints in the past decade or so. (Maybe the changeover is still not complete?)
just add something like `&& echo "Subject: task completed" | sendmail -your@email.com`

if you are running it via ssh you can do 'ssh zerocool@htp.org bash -s' < local_script.sh` and then do whatever you want to do afterwards

running things locally like make or tests i like to put `&& say done` at the end so i don't lose track of it.

> Food is also a matter of life and death.

And we have a pretty well established cultural understanding that you don't let people starve, no matter how poor they are. And yet somehow the equivalent understanding that you don't let people die of preventable diseases, no matter how poor they are, is somehow controversial.

It can be deceptively difficult to get the wording correct on a paradox.
> A couple counter-examples: Singapore and developing countries like India and China have more market based healthcare systems than Western Europe and the US, and spend far less on healthcare as a percentage of GDP.

I think this is far more to do with the fact that they're developing countries than the economic structure of their healthcare systems.
Do you want people to overwork and burnout? Because 'maintaining an informal culture that imparts a strong sense of freedom. The leadership makes it clear that what matters most is how employees perform and not how long they work or when they come and go.' is how you get people to overwork and burnout.

Everyone - managers, coworkers and the individuals themselves need external structure that prevents them from assuming that everyone else expects overwork from them, and from unintentionally expecting it from others, and themselves. Leaving this to 'judgement' means that eventually, everyone will be overworking 'just this once'.

If you decline it upfront, then you don't successfully complete it. You blocked it from ever becoming an active mission.

If you can't decline upfront, then we ask if you can 'decline' later despite already being in the mission. If yes you succeed. If no you fail.

It only seems paradoxical when you don't quite think the rules through.
Amongst other points, the article says that a water based paint takes 5 times longer to dry than the oil. From a production stand point you have a bottleneck. You now need 5x capacity to dry the containers to stay even with the normal production. Since I doubt they have vertical drying racks, production should slow due to that alone.

Did ATT's TOS say e.g. "we have a bunch of customers' PII posted online; please don't read those"? It seems, rather, that the court considered the act itself bad enough to punish regardless of any implied agreement forbidding or allowing the act. (Of course I think the court is wrong.)

IANAL, but my feeling is that eventually the evil companies will come up with a TOS so awful that even the Supreme Court will be sickened by it and be inspired to thoroughly reevaluate CFAA. They won't throw it out entirely, but they'll pick out a particular set of valid terms, and we'll learn to live with TOSes built with those.
