>The thing I see failing within socialism is individual work effort--everyone comes to believe that work is someone else's deal and not theirs

Socialism isn't about having other people work for you, it is about bringing about the necessary conditions such that the average amount of work per person required in society is reduced by eliminating what Marx terms 'contradictions' which are inherent in the capitalist mode of production. Nor do I believe it is about high taxes, or any taxes at all - in fact a key component of Socialism is the withering away of the state as the functions are either abandoned for not fitting material conditions or transferred to the proletariat.

>Marxism is the bane of humanity--the ultimate promise of something for nothing which is the biggest lie ever told.

I don't think that's true at all, and it's a gross misrepresentation that a Socialist society is a "promise of something for nothing". There are a great many people who would benefit by the kind of labour-saving optimisations that a Socialist mode of production introduces, especially those who put in something and get very close to nothing. As Russian anarcho-Communist Kropotkin said in The Conquest of Bread:

>In virtue of this monstrous system, the son of the worker, on entering life, finds no field which he may till, no machine which he may tend, no mine in which he may dig, without accepting to leave a great part of what he will produce to a master. He must sell his labour for a scant and uncertain wage. His father and his grandfather have toiled to drain this field, to build this mill, to perfect this machine. They gave to the work the full measure of their strength, and what more could they give? But their heir comes into the world poorer than the lowest savage. If he obtains leave to till the fields, it is on condition of surrendering a quarter of the produce to his master, and another quarter to the government and the middlemen. And this tax, levied upon him by the State, the capitalist, the lord of the manor, and the middleman, is always increasing; it rarely leaves him the power to improve his system of culture. If he turns to industry, he is allowed to work — though not always even that — only on condition that he yield a half or two-thirds of the product to him whom the land recognizes as the owner of the machine.
> I'll continue to remove startcom from FF if it's still included

That's also my first reaction to startcom. Reading it however it seems they've come a long way since the removal.

I'm not sure if I will again trust this CA again - time will learn if they're still using sneaky practices. But they seem to be doing better now.
Yes, but prepare yourself. Our community as a whole doesn't reward anything that doesn't fit with the current trends.

If you're seen deviating from the social norms, you will get push back, and it's seldom kind or constructive.

For example, I wrote this some time ago: http://dave.fayr.am/posts/2011-10-4-rubyists-already-use-mon...

I received a lot of hate for this post, both on this site and in other ruby circles.

When I wrote this post: http://dave.fayr.am/posts/2007-06-07-Multicore-And-Ruby.html I was banned from multiple ruby communities and called "the joe lieberman of ruby" by a prominent rubyist.

I don't mean to pick on the ruby community here specifically, these are just the oldest so it's least likely to re-open an old argument.

I could point to other examples. I'm considering going back to blogging myself, but my experience is that negative feedback overwhelms positive feedback 3:1.
99% of ICO's are scams and bullshit.
Get your money if you have an ICO idea, otherwise don't "invest" in them.
Unfortunately that would be practically difficult with Chrome only allowing extensions downloaded from the Chrome Web Store.
Why do people do this to themselves? You can't code in a vacuum. It's about community strength and modernity. If you don't have both you are wasting you time. It's like talking to a island cast away.
I think any company that would buy Delphi will agree more with me than with you.

If you're right and companies just can't see that or make it work, can the community do more with Lazarus? I have not played with that so I don't know how good it is.
Blogging about stuff you are learning sounds like a great idea. Don't write for anyone else but initially write for yourself. If you write content that is useful for yourself eventually others will find it useful too.

The thing that somehow keeps me from blogging more is that I want to learn/blog about so many completely different topics that feel totally unrelated. Like programming native guis, meditation, cycling, software project management, devops, monitoring,Buddhism,...

So many topics that I feel don't belong on just one blog. I don't know if I should start multiple blogs or use categories on just one site or something else.
Well, because when they come knocking at your door to carry you off you get to shoot one or two before they kill you. Those one or two will not make it to the next house. Do you understand how this disincentive works now?
I'm seeing the same behavior in Chrome on OSX.
I think you are overthinking the meaning of this. As engineers we tend to blame complex layers we didn't write, especially if we don't have insight into them..

Giving their engineers the option to peer into react whenever they like is probably getting them more pure slack bugs fixed. That is not to say I think the current slack resource use is acceptable. There should be a middle ground where most users aren't wasting resources all of the time.
What kind of deductible is that in $?
BTC-E has been seized
We found out that ambisafe, tokenmarket and the like receive a huge amount of requests for handling ICOs, but they also charge a vast amount of money.

So, we started working on our own smartcontract and ICO platform.
You can give it a try already at https://crowdsale.express/ but it's working on the testnet. We will activate livenet soon and are eager to hear your feedback.
If someone can memorise how a dictionary and an array work, why would they have trouble quickly understanding how a hash table works for example? To me, coding for years and never coming across or being curious about understanding hash tables when they're applicable in so many places and not hard to understand is a bad sign. I don't care about more esoteric data structures but linked lists, hash tables, arrays and binary trees should be basic knowledge.

I was under the impression this project also depends on CSS variables.

> A few patients may have slightly better information in one dimension of their condition than a GP. Presuming otherwise is foolhardy arrogance that misses the profound interconnectedness and subtle complexity of body systems.

This is precisely why a good doctor-patient is so valuable. Some (maybe not often, but at least some) patients _will_ know about the specifics of their condition better than a GP (e.g. if they have a scientific background and prepared to do sufficient reading), but the GP will be able to put that into a broader context of which someone focused on the specifics (and non-objective) will likely be unaware.

FWIW, my GP has said on at least one occasion "I'm considering drug X because of blood results Y etc. Go and do the reading on it and let me know next time if you want to try it; you'll have a deeper and more recent understanding of the potential benefits/side-effects than me" (IIRC it was the addition of levothyroxine to counter fluctuating fT4 levels, whilst accounting for any drug-drug interactions with current medications).
Without judging the author, I think it's fair to say there's nothing to be learned from this article by 90% of regular HN readers.
The technology is there to solve this. End to end encryption solves this problem and lets the devs wash their hands off the privacy concerns.
This is a good reminder that for very small organizations, it's important for the founders themselves to understand at a basic level the relevant applicable tax laws and typical exceptions. The level of accounting consultancy a small organization is going to be able to afford is unlikely to be comprehensive, and all the right questions may not be asked when making plans. But if the founders who do know all that's going on have a basic understanding of the parameters of tax law, they will have a much better chance of figuring out what exceptions might be applicable to their organization. A few days or weeks of research early on could have saved many months of stress and many thousands of euros when the problems were discovered.
I think categories is a great idea.

You can even make a great (and simple) homepage with topic selection :)
Yes, put it in sturdy canisters and store it somewhere with a nice fence and some guards.
My biggest problem is that there's no way to guarantee value of your "tokens" if the product you're delivering is not also built on the Ethereum blockchain.

For example I plan on launching a mobile network - I guess I could make an ICO and whoever owns a token is entitled to X amount of data traffic. Nothing prevents me from saying one day "I changed my mind - your tokens are worthless", so that's why I don't see it ever working.

Cochrane is an awesome thinker
> I still think the death of a culture is an acceptable price to pay to avoid the death of even one individual.

'Culture' is a broad term, and encompasses the legal and government systems as well. When you say death of a culture, you probably have in mind things like traditional food, music, and clothes.

What about things like legal and social equality of the sexes, worker's rights, the right to free speech or a fair trial, socialized medicine, the educational institutions supporting all of this, and a police and legal system where corruption is rare? They're just as much a part of culture.

Different countries have different amounts of these cultural characteristics. Many lives, far more than one or a thousand, were lost fighting for them, or lost due to their absence, and few would throw them away as carelessly as you.
Regardless of your current, perceived skill level, you're already an expert to someone else.

Even if you aren't using it to become attractive for recruiters, this will probably happen. I went from rarely (like, extremely) getting callbacks for remote gigs to getting around 30%-40% callbacks. The difference was that I started a blog about writing a web application with modern technologies and included it in my applications. It's a pretty bland blog, but just the fact that I wrote about stuff I'm interested in and has relevancy with the jobs I'm applying for has really paid off.

I definitely feel like an imposter, and I have no readers, but it definitely sharpens my abilities and has really forced me to really understand why I build something a certain way and to evaluate alternatives.

Do it.
Yes, reprocessing fuel has been around since the 70's.. its just not 'politically feasible' to reverse the ban President Carter put on it in the US.
I'm not very involved, but on top of the Chrome base API both Firefox and Edge have a bunch of additional APIs IIRC (I think Firefox supports all of the Chrome APIs but I'm not sure). The intent is to have the same manifest format so basic extensions work everywhere, but extensions can use browser-specific APIs that fit within the same general framework too.
I've heard that it's roughly 1%. It probably isn't too high because:

1) The main chain's rate of block generation has not dropped substantially. Of course, it's hard to tell in such a short timeframe, but at least according to https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty not much is happening.

2) No BCH blocks have been mined in the past 2.5 hours. This could be variance (even with 100% of the hashrate this sort of gap is plausible), but I suspect not.
> I don't get why LED bulbs need to flicker though

It's _much_ cheaper/easier to blink an LED on/off for 75% of the time than to drive a constant but lower current to produce 75% of the brightness. Most products are cost optimized.
Sounds like what they should have gotten was "audit insurance". IDK if such a thing exists, but if it does I'd think you could reduce your premiums if you can prove your risk is low (by providing documentation, or by getting sign-off by a 3rd party tax accountant).

Point is, I'd want to pay money to remove my liability, not just reduce its likelihood.
I should have specified "traditional dryer." New tech is pretty interesting, I didn't know they existed, but then again I don't pay much attention to dryers other than my own and my own needs ventilation to the outside and a special plug. Price would certainly be an issue in a lower cost rental unit.

Also RE: "much less appealing," should have specified "much less appealing to a prospective tenant than a washer/dryer combo thus wouldn't command higher rent thus isn't worth a landlord's time and money even if space is available right next to the sink for a cheap install." Line drying is much more common in other parts of the world.

Climate policy advocates’ apocalyptic vision demands serious analysis, and mushy thinking undermines their case. If carbon emissions pose the greatest threat to humanity, it follows that the costs of nuclear power—waste disposal and the occasional meltdown—might be bearable.

I agree, but I'd also consider myself to be a "Climate policy advocate" with an "apocalyptic vision" so maybe he's conflating different groups for the purpose of argument?
Yeah, but you could have great breath.
What is about community strength? If he's creating applications and enjoys doing it, why does it matter who else is using the same language? Worst case scenario, he can translate libraries from other languages into Object Pascal, but realistically it has a decent-sized community.

I don't see the modernity point, either. Object Pascal has modern features.

I'm sure racism also plays into this a lot. So public baths are very common in Korea as well, which is a pretty homogeneous country (similar to Japan).

Like you mention, Urban areas in most of the US tend to be overrun by poor and downtrodden and are generally unsanitary. But my personal experience, of having seen gentrification here in Austin, Texas, has been that Urban areas in America are maintained well when those areas are out of the reach of said poor and downtrodden. e.g. in Austin, the downtown region is infested with homeless people and panhandlers, whereas the new development in north austin (called the Domain) is much much cleaner. So I don't think Americans in general are prone to littering or keeping urban areas dirty.
It should be mandatory for programmers to be able to concoct even bad examples of a sort algorithm in real time and create data structures for anything from a linked list to binary trees.

It is also important to have candidate code samples
for an interview with dissection and analysis by the candidate. This is to understand where the programmer is in their professional development, how much is copy-paste and how much is functional and design integration. All this demonstrates level of knowledge and the candidates productive approaches.

Having to teach programmers how to deal with recursion and other fundamental concepts or language specific approaches like pointer arithmetic or interpreted language nuances like lambda calculus and list comprehension should not be on the table.

These responses are peak HN, it's hilarious and disappointing. The actual answer to your question is that tons of cities had beautiful public baths (I live next to a locked one), and shut them down when they became ground zero for AIDS transmission. Men were having risky sex in the locker rooms, and the closing of the public baths is seen as the turning point for the US taking the AIDS crisis seriously.

Having an over sized washing machine is actually well worth it so you wash that comforter more frequently. IMO, every 2-3 weeks is completely reasonable. It also makes washing pillows much easier.
