I'm not justifying anything. I'm saying that awareness alone does not make humans worse. If other animals do the exact same things as humans then why are humans worse? It seems that the distinguishing factor, is that humans want to imagine that they are special, so they get an automatic "worst ever" categorization on anything they do, simply because they are humans. Not because they do anything actually different.

The only thing you called out about humans being different is that they are capable of noting that other animals behave the same violent ways. So you are basically saying humans are worse because they are observant.
So having one extra application - which people only need to use voluntarily - is worse than having no application for that use case?
I suppose they're only "safe for TV" because they're so unusual to be custom-made in the first place. The moment your preferences move away from sex, most of the market abandons you. So long as they have a sexual significance to the people who pay to view them, though, I would call them porn.
Citation please. Bonus points for noting the irony that you are criticizing an impeccably supported work with sweeping (but unsupported) assertions.
Ah, right, static fields in C++ can't be overridden. If they could, they could be implemented by stuffing them in the virtual table and the cost in space would be O(classes) instead of O(instances).
That's pretty much the only argument I ever see, other than the standard one for cannabis (it's just a plant).
Ditto. Compile time was pretty killer. But between my years spent running Slackware then Gentoo, I feel like I got a good feel for the core of how Linux systems should operate (and the benefit of someone else running the builds!)
Looks interesting!

I had a pain point a few days ago when I had to delete a few thousand files from my VPS over SFTP (it took forever.) This project looks like it could help out a lot in that regard because it uses rsync, which should be much faster than FTP's method of deleting the files one by one.
Right. I thought it was interesting that this person doesn't think of Baby Boomers as "the selfish generation" (which is the age group I have most heard applied with that label), but the generation before Baby Boomers. But then when he said he himself is a Baby Boomer, it made sense why he wouldn't want to call himself "the selfish generation".
You're complaining that I compared cats to humans, while at the same time you're drawing a connection between genocide and eating pork.

I stand by my initial statement that this is utterly lacking in perspective.
“Disingenuous”?

That’s absurd. Your argument appears to be “I wish people outside Google didn’t pay so much attention to what business Google is in, because it’s super fun being an engineer working at a place that has a geyser of money coming in from the ads division so engineering can ignore business pretty much completely.”

Yes, that is fun (so say all my friends who work there)! But it’s pretty irrelevant to the conversation about what business Google is in. It’s an advertising company.
The East Bay was still somewhat affordable when I last lived in SV. Walnut Creek is not a bad option, but commute time could very well be suboptimal.
> Also, qbrt doesn’t yet support runtime version management (i.e. being able to specify which version of Gecko to use, and to switch between them). At the time you install it, it downloads the latest nightly build of Firefox.

This doesn't sound so good, and is the opposite of what I think people have come to expect. It's seems like the most straightforward solution is to hardcode a specific version of the runtime into the package, so that installing qbrt XX.0.0 gets you the runtime that corresponds to Firefox version XX.
I wonder why they didn't go for an easy technique to defend against backdoors: use two independent sources for random numbers that don't know of each other and xor their output together. The increase in cost is small and the win for integrity and security is huge.
Tangential to the topic at hand:

The substance itself, if you look closely, is only yet another layer of appearance, slightly closer to the Truth - God.
What do you mean by most of the market abandons you?

I'm actually confused on this one.
> What would you rather have them do? What would "sticking to their guns" involve?

Start building factories elsewhere. Help put together a similar manufacturing ecosystem in a different country. Automate their manufacture so much that it no longer matters if labor is done in China.

If Apple paid an extra 10-20% to locate factories elsewhere and started pulling out of China, it would be a gigantic hit to China while being only a 20% hit to Apple. And Apple could threaten China instead of China threatening Apple. And China wouldn't dream of making these kinds of requests again.

Apple has more leverage than they are willing to use.
plus don't forget retirement is quite nice too, opportunities to double dip exist because of how many of these are structured, and all sorts of tricks are permitted with cashing out accrued time so that it bumps retirement pay.

some cases in california were called into question as there were cops with 100k pensions,but california suffers from lots of government employee pension tricks. these are not limited to just California and are busting the budgets of many cities and now even some states.

but with regards to this Baltimore issue, he damn well best serve time for this and everyone on that call should be off the force.

How does the Kubernetes scheduler work?
Because it's an amazing piece of software that works great. It's just 'cool' to shit on it.
I want two more important steps:

4. The video is archived for at least 90 days, with 360 being preferable.

5. The video is immediately encrypted when it is stored and should only be accessible by the district attorneys office.
Which is weird because the Window's NFS server seems to manage it just fine.
> The ecosystem around it sucks but the language itself is not too bad

The problem is that the ecosystem is what matters nowadays. A language can suck donkey balls and win as long as it has a robust ecosystem (see: VB6, PHP, etc.)

Python and Rust have phenomenal ecosystems. I have no clue about the C++ ecosystem nowadays.

A Replica 1 is an Apple 1 clone made with permission from Steve Wozniak that people can build from a kit. It is an 8 bit microcomputer with Apple Integer BASIC and optional casette tape interface.
Yeah, I found that confusing, unless The Guardian is just being extremely coy?
It's a great way to save money. I'd probably almost double my take-home amount (after taxes and food) if I could skip rent in the south bay area.
Rackspace is effectively dead as a cloud hosting platform

Could you elaborate on this? I'm genuinely curious and didn't see anything obvious to explain it in search results.
It bugs me that without evidence sedevach and the commentator he linked to just present something speculative as a certainty. HN comments just jump right into full throttle conspiracy theories and receive hundreds of upvotes. It's not like at the edges of the discussion and downvoted. These uncritical comments are frequently floating at the top of what people are reading.

If you've got evidence of Washington Post writers trampling their journalistic credentials and planting favorable stories for Bezos you should share that along with your accusations otherwise you should maybe hedge your claims a bit. Eh? Maybe go look up the authors for these pieces on twitter, they're often there, and just go ahead and accuse them right there where they can see it. Such a shameful thing to do in my opinion, and so far fetched.
> The colorable, divisible infinite sets in RT22 are abstractions that have no analogue in the real world. And yet, Yokoyama and Patey’s proof shows that mathematicians are free to use this infinite apparatus to prove statements in finitistic mathematics — including the rules of numbers and arithmetic, which arguably underlie all the math that is required in science — without fear that the resulting theorems rest upon the logically shaky notion of infinity. That’s because all the finitistic consequences of RT22 are “true” with or without infinity; they are guaranteed to be provable in some other, purely finitistic way. RT22’s infinite structures “may make the proof easier to find,” explained Slaman, “but in the end you didn’t need them. You could give a kind of native proof — a [finitistic] proof.”

I'm not a mathematician, but this sounds a lot like proof by induction VS proof by anything except induction.
Tell your boss to give you a $10,000 bonus or you quit.

WhaT tHe HeCK SHro0ms
Okay so, last night I took shrooms for the first time with a couple of friends that are quite experienced with them. We all took the same amount and they started tripping within 30 minuets to an hour. I on the other hand did not feel them whatsoever, so I took more, I had nearly double the amount my experienced friends had and nothing happened at all. Before I took the shrooms I had 2 canna caps and a couple of nangs, not sure if that would make a difference?? And I am currently not on any medications, does anyone know what the heck is going on ?

What does she do at Facebook, the article did not mention it. I find these headlines a bit misleading when they refer to contractors as opposed to full time folks at these companies, not to say that the pricing in the Bay area is out of control but I feel like these headlines are in bad faith.
Neat product. Looks like it needs a little polishing on the UI, otherwise looking forward to seeing what's coming next!
You make it sound like solving homelessness would require a Manhattan Project-like effort. It's not a trivial problem, but the solution is within easy reach of our society if we had the will.

What should be done? Give the poor guy a freaking bed with a roof over his head! Why don't you just say we need to take care of that guy so he doesn't have to sleep on your fire escape?

You make it sound like you think that would be asking too much of society. Like it's obvious that would be too much. That guy's going to sleep outside, so the least society can do is make sure he's not doing it somewhere that you don't have to worry about tripping over in case of a fire.

No! There is no good reason anyone should have to sleep outside in this country. And as long as people do have to sleep outside, those of us who sleep comfortably in our homes should respond to their presence not with disgust but with action.
I'm curious what her salary is. I doubt everyone at Facebook pulls in the salary of a rockstar software developer.
Walnut Creek to Palo Alto is a bit more than "suboptimal". Google maps says driving and mass transit could both take two hours, if not more, depending on traffic.

That means leaving at 6:30 to be at the office by 9:00. Yes, it's the Silly Valley, so 9a is early. Counterpoint: it's generally the lower-paid people who need to live further out, because the prices are so ludicrous, that also have more scheduled hours.
My name is Ashley and I live in the state of Arkansas I have one credit card that I pay off every month and never charge more than 20 percent of its limit. My car, house, etc. are all paid for. I spend very little as I need little. I have been scotch all my life and now I find a credit score of 465. I don’t owe any one and am very careful with my money. I just don’t understand why I am penalized for that. I contacted a credit score company to help me figure this whole thing out but got turned down several times not until I read about a well recommended CYBER DON. He is all over the internet and nobody has ever spoken negative of him. I took a leap of faith and gave him a try, He boosted my credit scores to high 700,s. He also posted a mortgage tradeline, auto tradeline, installment tradeline and a revolving credit cards on my profile and I can’t thank him enough. He’s blunt, honest and respects whatever agreement you make with him. You all should give him a try for your credit score boost/repair. Send him an email CYBERDON@CLERK.COM or text him on the number +1 (912) 388 3132.
Once you turn WSL would the actual user experience of those apps change?

Shouldn't you be happy that WSL will enable F/OSS devs to write cross-platform software much easier by not having to keep two sets of code?
Just like with shopping carts, I think there's a general perception that these bikes are free to use for the public. People treat it like disposable transportation. Not just the homeless and teenagers with questionable morals; I've seen all kinds of people on them, all over Mountain View. I've even seen one where the "owner" attempted to personalize it by painting it white (badly).
I think Google should add clearer messaging to these bikes, and maybe ask MVPD to stop anyone they encounter on one of these bikes outside of a 3 mile radius from a Google office.
Stock trading costs nothing but time???

Stock trading, particularly when you're working with less than millions, is a very easy way to lose most of your capital.
I've often thought that those who make decisions for society should be required to pass a test to show they understand all sides of an issue. It is absurd to me that politicians are currently allowed to make the wide variety of decisions that they make. I don't think anybody really wants to vote for them to do that. (There was an old episode of Star Trek that had officer candidates use the holodeck to be exposed to a wide variety of situations and outcomes. I would think that whatever we could do to emulate that should be a requirement for making associated decisions.)
Lol fuck that shit
That isn't even true in California, any resident of California can use any Californian library, and receive a library card to it. Which leads to an ongoing feuds between neighboring cities when one chooses not to have public libraries (see Piedmont, California)
especially if you're going from WC to Menlo Park. That's an hour each way without traffic
That's a pretty flimsy case when it's bundled with the OS and the performance and memory cost is in their court to improve.
Contractors still deserve a livable wage.
Homelessness isn't a life hack.

I've been homeless, I've slept rough. No-one with a choice makes this choice even though they may have an ethic that attempts to make the best they can of it.
data storage would be annoying, for one. Battery life, another.
With technology like this being developed, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14182262 , we may see more stories like that, at least until law enforcement becomes more aware of it (and hopefully doesn't start locking things down.)

On a more positive note, these "reality editing" technologies would probably find lots of successful application in bespoke porn.
They even send a van to pick them up if you call 650-253-5353 and tell them. It goes without saying that it costs the company money, even when they get recovered.
There's no doubt that the consumer welfare standard has been the AT standard for recent memory, but more folks are starting to question if that is the right standard. That's part of the discussion around some of this.
She's been there two whole months, she obviously deserves the world!
So apparently millenials love the public library for anything but the books. "Many public reference centers have shifted their focus from offering things to browse and borrow to providing services and being a social space.” How this represents a library in any sense escapes me.

I'm old enough to have been taught to use the paper card catalog in school, and I was a library aide from middle school through high school. I always thought of them as temples of knowledge, but temples in which the relics could be borrowed by anyone. This along with the concept of borrowing and returning always seemed to be a cornerstone of the ideal of an egalitarian society. So it breaks my heart to walk into literally any of the local public libraries and see what has become of their collections. They all now compete at offering the most salubrious lounge experience, to facilitate which they have in some cases removed as much as half of their former floor collection.

I do believe that in the 21st century the library has an important function to serve in providing a place to access the Net for people who cannot otherwise do so. Making space for this is justifiable in my view. Making space for someone to drink a latte in a taxpayer-funded place of access to information is not. There are many, many places that will provide such services far better than the public library.
There is no such thing as privacy from the state when dealing with money.

I don't know your salary and income, you don't know mine, but the state wants to know this for everybody.

This is the law of the land pretty much anywhere, and any large scale operations which try hiding this from the state (not from you and me) will be in trouble.

So if you don't do the KYC/AML thing, that can be called "criminal by design" since KYC/AML is kind of universal in the western world (including Bulgaria/Cyprus/BVI)
It can be, with the right vehicle. And if you're single.
There was uselessd but only one person was working on it and even he gave up. http://uselessd.darknedgy.net/

I don't think open source is broken, but it may have led some people to think that if you can imagine it someone must already be working on it. But that's not true because the set of things people can imagine is far larger than what people have time to work on. There are few people who want a "fixed" version of systemd to begin with and literally only one or two people who are willing to work on that.
> It is very unusual to find second cameramen on porn sets these days: the internet is killing porn-makers who take pride in production values. It’s because the money is now in the pockets of the tech giants in faraway cities such as Montreal, owners of sites such as PornHub that are crammed with pirated content illegally uploaded by fans; PornHub is currently the world’s 38th most popular site.

So much wrong with this paragraph, I hardly know where to start.

First of all, custom-made pornograhy is exploding as a market because cameras are cheap.

Secondly, multi-camera work is not indicative of high production values. Typically single camera work gives the director more control over each shot, and is more time consuming. So cheap-fast camera work will involve multiple cameras, then post-shoot editing to stitch things together.

Third, people make porn in Quebec. I think the only place people don't make porn is Utah--though it's the #1 place for people to retire to afterwards.

Fourth, PornHub is owned by MindGeek which also owns Brazzers, Mofos, DigitalPlayground, Twistys, RealityKings, and has many relationships with other producers. You see a lot of full length movies on Pornhub, not merely because people are breaking copyright laws but because those movies are the ones released as part of the required relationship (or released on other free site), and thus aren't really worth chasing down and taking offline.

Ahh.. rant over.

I will add though Anatomik does good work, and I'm glad to see the more mainstream media paying attention to them.
What's the point of this article? What's makes her case different from for example person working at 7-11 in New Jersey and struggling to pay rent in manhattan? It's her choice to work there and to live in a place that she can't afford.

Hey look I want to live in Battery Park in manhattan but can't afford it on my job, I will live in my car - write an article about me.
The privacy of victims they're interacting with is a valid concern, as well. A rape victim may be reluctant to give details on-camera.
I wonder how elaborate their automated tests are, it is also quite interesting that the provided fix did not introduce any new tests to the codebase for the reported case.
The Architecture of Sports
I don't understand how that would be different than Electron or nw.js.

For example, if there were a Debian package for either of those, all apps leveraging them would just declare that same package a dependency and you'd have a single system-wide install for the large binary everyone keeps complaining about. (AFAICT there is no such deb package for any of the above.)
This is the most ridiculous article I've read in my entire life.
Well it's my own personal judgement.

I did ALOT of work implementing support for six cloud computing platforms (also MS Azure, which I did not mention above).

All of them provided me either with free or cheap access to their services - I was building something for the platform after all.

Rackspace started out with a developer program, which they withdrew as my project was coming to completion. I asked for more free/cheap developer access and they said no - it was going to cost me several hundred dollars per month (the base line cost for Rackspace) just to support their service. I thought "no thanks". I also thought that any other cloud provider that actually cared about getting people to use its platform would provide a free/cheap program for developers to build tools around it and support it. What I saw was that Rackspace just don't really care about its cloud platform any more.

How can a cloud hosting platform company take a cloud hosting product to market whilst actively selling support for its just-the-same competitor (i.e. AWS) and still be credible? Doesn't make sense.

I noticed at the same time that Rackspace shifted focus heavily towards providing support for other cloud computing platforms like AWS and also observed in the news some of their business challenges and came to my own conclusion that they have been defeated in cloud computing but have not declared defeat yet.

So it's just my opinion but I think Rackspace cloud is dead/defeated and will meet its fate soon enough, maybe to be sold off or something. Just my opinion.
This is delightful, and very close to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Meat Manifesto, which is in his cookbook/textbook on eating meat entitled, Meat. Basically, the contract we have with domesticated animals is that we'll remove the daily suffering of a wild animal's life, and in exchange we will eat you a time we specify. Having slaughtered animals myself, and watched animals die at the hands of foxes and (oh God) fishers. I'd say turning them upside down and making a single cut across their carotid artery is about as easy as it comes.
I think the idea is that the viewer is presumed to be getting a prurient thrill out of the video, even if it is filmed in a way that only works for that one person.
I've been following Ben's videos on YouTube ever since he started this project and have been totally transfixed. His approach to building an 8-bit computer on a breadboard has also spawned a bunch of interest from the community.

Just search "my ben eater" on YouTube and you'll find many other people following his steps and making their own computers; some even going as far as to improve upon the original. It's really quite awesome to see.

Hats off to Ben. His succinct videos have done much more for my understanding of low level computing than any computer science professor I've had -- and all through only video.
