The OP is operating in a peacetime mentality. Oil's killer app is war:

Can a fleet of fighter planes run on electricity, currently? No.

Has the Army committed to having 100% of their fleet of tanks running on electricity by 2025? No.

Can you run a supply chain to the front lines of a ground war with electricity? Technically yes, but it's only a matter of time until your wire infra gets cut/bombed.

So I completely agree with the OP, assuming a general absence of armed, land-based conflict in the next 20 years.

That said, think about why the US even _has_ a highway system and domestic airlines. There are two main weaknesses of building transportation infrastructure on rail, from a central-planning perspective:

1. You can shut down an entire country's economy by bombing the rail infrastructure (c.f. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman%27s_March_to_the_Sea, viewing the seceded South as a "country" here...), less so with airfields and asphalt highways.

2. There is no consistent demand for continued production of railroad infrastructure, once it is built, which makes mobilizing production in times of great need (e.g. war) slow and difficult.

How this relates to the OP's argument re: electric cars:

1. While battery technology will continue to improve, the main means of transporting electricity is still the power plant + electric lines, which is relatively fragile compared to oil barges/tanks on trucks + highways. You would need to destroy every oil tanker and truck in America to shut down the energy distribution system -- a much harder task than bombing every power plant -- power plants can't move.

2. With gas-powered cars (and planes, though to a lesser extent), you can keep the production running all the time making civilian vehicles. Turning all those Ford F150s and 737s into tanks and bombers is difficult, but it is way easier to do so if you don't have to build the factories FIRST.

It isn't entirely shocking. Intellectually fertile doesn't equal morally or ethically predictable. Well, maybe there are studies which link politics and IQ, but political leanings aren't always great predictors of ethics/morals in action.

Edit: And perhaps I'm misconstruing your statement, which seems to have more to do with the decline in German culture after the purges rather than what led to the purges.
I was wondering this as well. Very low quality; seems like more shill advertising. I've been using Windscribe for years and I've only experienced a disconnect once EVER. It's also dead simple to setup and use; basically it's a one click install, then one click to connect (maybe 2 or 3 if you want to switch to a different location), but this is part of his review for Windscribe, "Ultimately, couldn't get a proper connection working."

I certainly hope not. Social media should not be a measurement of professional character. Many kids use it without concern for how it will affect their future because they lack the awareness of it. If everything you've said when you were a child was on record and reviewed by employees chances are most people wouldn't have jobs. Additionally, it sets a bar the requires social media usage. I personally don't use any online accounts that are linked to my name. This means I would be perceived as a danger to any hiring systems that utilize social media analysis.
Holy crap, I've never noticed that.

But this "editorial decision" (ahem, "tuning") is in fact a political decision to downgrade results for a site that by any objective measure has a wide, international readership (Alexa global rank, 30-40k). It is also an objective fact that Google has close relations to the state (top federal campaign contributor, regular visitor to the White House, Eric Schmidt book praised by Michael Hayden, etc.). So it is a "conspiracy theory" that Google's actions might be motivated by political considerations? Of course, Google might think so... As for the WSWS, it was recently the subject of editorials throughout the German media for its campaign against Jorg Baberowski, a right-wing historian at Humboldt University who is attempting to whitewash the crimes of the Nazis. If you think that the WSWS is not getting the attention of the state, then you aren't following developments closely.
A question like "have you ever considered shouting at your manager?" would filter out candidates that are too [ stupid | honest | self-respecting ] to pick the expected answer...
Wow you post a seemingly legit email address and other details, then act like a douche.

Personally, I don't want to be signed up for spam, or have it found in some AshleyMadison like leak. I don't care about fake points. I don't care about community rep. So I don't curate an online persona.

But you know what, zimpenfish, you're right. The first conclusion that crosses the mind if zimpenfish is of course the right answer.
The difference is that you run only trusted native applications with the ability to check their source code, while you are visiting untrusted sites which often have obfuscated javascript.

I think that it would be a better comparison between a pdf file and the web: pdfs files can't do the same or more.
Let me simplify it for you.

People espousing hate because of their trash opinions that have already been consigned to the dustbins of history are not going to have their crappy thoughts entertained by those who have moved beyond that stupidity.
So have there been any announcements about whether there will be dual-CPU Threadripper mobo's in the future? Does the CPU even support it?
Repeated, cheap residential housing is common everywhere, it's just a matter of height. In the US, we have cookie cutter suburbia. In England, you have row houses. In Spain, depending on the city, you go from 5 stories to 12 or so, depending on the city: For example, do an image search on Malaga around the bullfighting ring. China is just building taller.
The iterated nazi dilemma
> Isn't that a JSON-like language?

It is (but its actually good!), but QtCreator also has a design tool to visually create QML-based UI's.

> I find describing UIs in text instead of "drawing" them like done in Lazarus to be going backwards.

This is a preference thing I guess - some people prefer visual design tools, some prefer text. I quite like QML's approach of giving me a simple declarative text description language and then providing me with a visual design tool to author it with if I prefer to do so.

> Most QtQuick programs i've seen look like something you'd see in a mobile phone or tablet instead of a normal desktop application

Early QtQuick was very much like this, but nowadays it has pretty good platform-style emulation (QtQuick Controls). How many applications use it, I don't know, especially nowadays that QtQuick has iOS and Android support. Also, since it gives you full styling freedom, I guess (for better or worse) many people make use of them rather than trying to look native. I've seen some very non-mobile style QtQuick applications too though, including desktop mail clients and such and they looked great.
Unwanted sexual advances in the workplace are always harassment.

There's a big difference between:

"Hey would you like to go grab lunch with me sometime?" (ok if not overly persistent)

vs

"You're hot, want to have sex with me sometime?" (never ok at work)

And I would suggest some introspection about why your bar to be convinced is so high. The persistent and sometimes aggressive disbelief that women face from male colleagues when they complain about harassment is a big part of the industry problem.
Do you know who's behind the project?
My Ryzen system can do 2-pass 1080p24 x264 encoding on "slower" preset in real-time. That is, both passes finish in the time it would take to play the movie. It would only make sense for streaming if you had >10 users at a time, and at that point it would probably save a lot of work if you just did the transcoding ahead of time and kept the right format on disk!
Honestly this whole thing comes down to what kinds of things can be considered a minority. Calling a man "White cis male" ignores the fact that he might be autistic, ADHD or any number of other things.

I have an autoimmune condition where I get migraines and asthma attacks from certain types of perfumes and air fresheners. They put in new air fresheners at work and I used more migraine medication than I had in years. I keep running out of asthma inhalers. I asked HR to switch them out and the answer was "Not gonna happen." No discussion, no argument, just straight up.

Asking around I found out that they were making some employees walk around to use another entrance that didn't have an air freshener by it. What? Finally I got the MSDS that showed it contained all sorts of nasties. There's a warning that you aren't supposed to inhale the vapors. Kinda hard when they're everywhere. Crazy.

The point is, this whole IT discussion and gamer-gate and several other issues seems to be a war over what is and what is not a minority. IT guys who were beat up as kids and ignored by the pretty girls are now in positions of power. And feel like these same bullies are coming back to get them.

We need a better way to discuss this. Throwing around terms like "White cis male" just hides the fact that most people are in a minority of one sort or another - even white cis males.
It's all good. GNU has traditionally lacked volunteers experienced in graphic design/marketing.
GNUStep predates WindowMaker by a couple of years, and windowmaker.org states:

Now that you say it, yes. Seeing the date right away is helpful and offers a nicer workflow.

You can filter by date though or sort by date in DDG, so making the date visible is probably possible somehow or might be in the future.
It's funny that the outrage actually opens opportunities for white men to feign outrage too and stay in power. That's why you keep seeing so much agitation in this area but not much actual change, because the smart play is to be the white male in a comfy position but distract from that by disguising yourself as a fellow freedom fighter.
I guess this would be the opposite of a diversity program since they are going out to hire a very specific type of employee. It appears that they want a mono-personality in their halls.

How to Level Up Your Development Career
Ask HN: Which companies give programmers offices?
Often when I suggest to non-programmers that programmers should get their own offices, I'm met with incredulity: "Where do any programmers get their own offices???" Microsoft and Fog Creek come to mind, but where else?
Interestingly, as someone (I'm white) who has moved to Finland for an exchange, I haven't noticed this at all. Of course it's very possible that this is because I'm white and don't speak Finnish, but it's still weird to hear this about the country I'm currently in.
If it correlates with high earning, they're keen on it.

More likely social media is uncorrelated and more easily gamed.
I too switched over to DDG around the same time, and I mostly agree - but I've had the exact opposite experience specifically with programming questions.

I can't even count the number of times I've searched for something (usually semi-obscure errors) on DDG and come up dry, only to enter the exact same query on Google and the first or second result will have the answer I needed :(
Yes, it's all well supported by genetics and biology.

> If AI never has a concept of "self" does it decrease the likelihood of it becoming self-protective?

I would imagine.. not.. but I'm clueless in this area, so don't take my word as meaningful. I come to this thought because I think the scary thing about AI is having a almost entirely foreign thought process, that reaches conclusions we (humans) instinctively ruled out. It's the basic programmer joke of buying eggs from the store (I forget the syntax offhand haha).

Take global warming. What are the best ways to stop global warming, as fast as possible? I imagine one of them is to wipe out all life as we know it, assuming that doesn't create more atmospheric chemicals in the process. Mind you, I'm not saying the AI will instantly become Skynet, but what I am saying is that I think it can behave similar to "Skynet" without needing to have motivations of it's own, or even motivations outside of what we have asked of it. The road to ruin is laid with best intentions, right?

I'm not fear mongering, I'm quite looking forward to AI and I don't have much fear of AI. Ultimately I think as terrifying as AI could become, humans will be equally terrifying. Our technological advancements continue to give us more and more power. If doom is coming due to technology, I don't see AI as the only harbinger of doom.

Interesting.. I do something similar with the Search Engines setting in Chrome using Keywords which applies to what is typed in the omnibox.

a iphone -> searches for iphone on Amazon

w tiger -> searches for tiger on Wikipedia

You can also set up a new search engine/keyword. Example to set up Stack Overflow with the s keyword: https://stackoverflow.com/search?%s

So I can now type 's sort a string in python' and it will take me directly to https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=sort+a+string+in+python
So, it turns out there are people who enjoy different things than you do. No need to insult them because of that.
Interesting perspective, but:

>I’m not remotely surprised, however, that Damore naturally assumes the differences between typically female and male traits mean that men are more skilled.

He never said or implied that. The whole problem is people overreacting about what they read in to it.
Both work, but "!g" is less ambiguous. Also it works both at the beginning and the end of the search, so I can append "!g" to the end after searching, without having to click precisely or to add an space.
Types of mobile applications
The idea you can put a number on how many guesses/second you can make on a keepass database at least is silly - that number is _configurable_! There's even a button in the UI which tunes that value to an estimated amount of time on the user's current hardware, so it's hardly an esoteric option.

MS word, by comparison, does not offer this option, and so they simply default to something sanely high.
Why all this morality police? It's just humorous, and to understand the double meaning, it requires quite a bit of imagination.

To be fair, I think it's more common for security projects to take on more aloof names. Who could forget "John The Ripper" or "back orfice" from the cult of the dead cow? I'm sure there are many more ..
A New Way to Tell Your Airline You Hate It
Yes. I tried duck duck go 10 years ago when I first heard about it, and decided it wasn't anywhere near as good as google. A few months back I was convinced to try it again, and surprise, it is just as good as google.

I recently did a few queries where I didn't find anything so I tried google and it got the same irrelevant results (as a category, not the same pages)
No, why?

A friend of mine is using DDG and whenever I'm over and we search for something on DDG, what we were searching for doesn't show up. Maybe it's Murphy's law, but I'm always mocking him with "search for it on Google" and that usually delivers the result we were looking for.
Just because an abstraction isn't perfect or it can be misused doesn't mean that it can't also be vitally useful in many circumstances.
What is an "extreme ideology"? The WSWS is a Marxist organization. Of course, it has a specific view of the Russian Revolution--namely, the view of those who led and organized it, opposed to both Stalinist and western interpretations. Who is Google to decide that this conception of the Russian Revolution should be removed from searches, that people don't want to have access to it, in favor of promoting the New York Times and other publications attacking the Russian Revolution and reviving old right-wing slanders (e.g., Lenin was paid with German Gold)?
Perhaps the biggest reason I use Firefox is for Tree Style Tabs. I've tried to find something equivalent in Chrome.

I installed Tab Outliner briefly, and honestly, I couldn't figure out what the heck it was trying to do. Maybe my mental capacity is too limited, but as far as I could tell it didn't get me one iota closer to my goal. What I've settled on, for the times when I need to use Chrome, is an external helper app called Sidewise.

So Tab Outliner needs to do a LOT more to make its operation more discoverable if it wants more users.
Really? Cause I read it as Google hosts a forum for non-PC discourse. But that's not the same as "solicited". It's optional and not a requirement.

And when the company has a desire to move in a direction, and it's being openly undermined, employees that undermine it get fired.

The only reason this is so visible is because of the gender content.

Otherwise, this is standard operating procedure in corporate America.
> Can you explain to me the point I've made that you're arguing for or against with your question.

The idea in your comment is that you can't, or at least are dissuaded, to express certain opinions. Most the things I hear about Google, including the existence of a list talking about the harms of political correctness, that the author felt free to write such a report and many other reported freedoms at work indicate that this isn't the case. That in fact people at Google are more free to express themselves in these types of issues than at other companies.

You're the one who seems to be upset. I wrote one line and you jump to conclusions, question my motives, dig into my comment history and even managed to bring up Hitler. I try to argue the facts. Maybe you should question yourself as you question others.
The Uncomfortable Truth About Affirmative Action and Asian-Americans
I wouldn't call it a decline at all, I only highlighted this area because it was particular strong in terms of significance and cultural output. You could argue that a golden age was followed by a silver age until 1933, as you mentioned.

Quite a few people argued since then that the rise of fascism was surprising because of the intellectual environment, but that it was a actually a pre-requisite for it to happen that way. If that is accurate or not, is a different matter but one could make a point that the "German question" combined with the propensity for total, systemic philosophical systems in German culture contributed to the uniqueness of what happened during 1933-45.

Not really, the databases are designed to be effectively public information. The security comes from the encryption, not OS-level file permission controls!
According to police, all normal entries would need that warning. A windows is not a normal entry point. It is even enough to have a barricade tape around your land. What is important is that there is a visible border that indicates that crossing is not wanted.
My favorite line:

I don't think they plan to support dual Threadripper, because single Epyc does more or less the same thing without the inter-socket latency or expense of a dual-socket motherboard.

It's effectively two Threadrippers on a single package (2x cores, 2x memory channels, 2x PCIe lanes) for only slightly more than double the price ($999 for 16C TR, $2100 for 32C Epyc).
Genetic test is next.

The lack of readability of regex makes me wonder if there isn't a better way. I've seen Elm's parser which introduces a few neat concepts like parser pipelines. https://github.com/elm-tools/parser
Exactly. But endlessly bitching about the precise border is a waste of time, because all of our abstractions (including words in every language) break if you zoom in too close on them. People need to learn to live with soft, fuzzy boundaries on concepts.
Security is like Safety: if it is put on a holy pedestal then everything else suffers.

It is mainly about having (legal) access to a seized storage device and trying to extract from it as much information as possible.

Although using the single NVIDIA GPU of a "normal" desktop is possible, normally some specialized hardware is needed/used (usually arrays of GPU's) to achieve a relatively high brute force attempt rate, something like :

No. And, literally just today I (again) disabled the DuckDuckGo extension in my browser, because I felt ridiculous for having done this more than 20 times in a single day:

1. search (via the browser's URL/search field)

2. sigh

3. press ⌘L to return keyboard focus to the browser URL/search field

4. press ⌘← to move the cursor to the beginning of the text

5. enter "!g" and then ↩︎ to re-execute the search using Google

I really do like the idea of a non-creepy search engine. I periodically give DDG another chance. But even more, apparently, I like finding pages and blog posts responsive to my search.

(EDIT: Wow, I learned from this thread that step 4 isn't necessary; the !g can go at the end of the search query. :-D Still doesn't really change anything, though.)
