Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Just one comment:

I don't think that my comment was whataboutism. Not when I reply to the following quote:

"As an American, I look down on the limits of speech in Europe with disdain"

Which implicitly puts an absolute to free speech in America. Which it's most definitely not.

ongoing lawsuit != guilt

It wouldn't surprise me if there are a number of campaign-inspired lawsuits. That doesn't mean any of their claims are found to be true by a court.

You're suggesting that the DNC colluded with Clinton against Sanders, yet Sanders is not a part of this lawsuit. Sounds more like spin from the right to me.
There's a slot in the back but it unfortunately isn't backwards compatible.
My point was- The grandparent probably looks down on Ag-gag laws with disdain, too. Most Americans do.
It is possible to do more after a fork (cf. async-signal-safe), but it's hairy enough to just say — don't, always exec (similar to how doing actual work in a signal handler is generally a very bad idea).
Obviously not, not harmonious enough. But social rating is not for actual opposition activists who will be jailed/tortured/disappeared even without it - it is for the tens of millions of common citizens who might sympathise with them and for whom a credit rating penalty might make them think twice about expressing their support or sympathy or outrage about the injustice.
SEEKING WORK - remote / Berlin

I'm a front-leaning, full-stack developer that is living in Berlin. I am American, and I have some conversational ability in German.

I have experience with every aspect of creating an application, from mockups and UX design, to graphic design, to the full-stack implementation, to deployment.

I've successfully built and sold a past start-up of mine, and have a great deal of insight with product development. Because of this, I'm probably of most value the earlier a project is in its life cycle.

Backend stack: Ruby on Rails, with DBs/data stores such as MySQL, Postgres, Mongo, Redis, Elastic Search.

Frontend stack: I have experience with other frameworks, but at this point I strongly prefer to work with React. I use current tooling (even with Rails projects) such as ES6, babbel and webpack. I prefer MobX to Redux, but can work with either. I am well-versed in current best practices, can build responsive mobile-friendly websites, and code pixel perfect CSS and HTML5.

I'm also a graphic designer, which can be seen from viewing past and present work on my portfolio.

That's exactly why you can run your own gitlab instance. The thing to do when you don't want dependencies is to reduce your dependencies, not complain about a third party service that offers their software for free so you can run it yourself.

It was never meant to stop or do anything because it was an observation about probability - much like Benford's Law is an observation about the frequency of digits but doesn't tell you anything about a particular one. (Clumsy analogy but hopefully makes sense.)
I'm German. We've seen "absolute freedom of speech" lead to Hitler's rise to power. We have not seen restrictions on freedom of speech lead to anything similar. I'm okay with us erring on the side of "fascism" this time around if we know the other path to have led us to actual fascism before.
Seriously, try 1-2 weeks without coffee... you'll feel it.
I'm not a doctor, but is SJS a long-term risk of *afinil?

Or is it the symptom of a drug sensitivity that some people have and some people don't?

All the research I did indicated that it was an extremely rare reaction that certain people would have, not that it was a result of long-term use.
Siri definitely shows bing results. I'm not sure Microsoft is paying for that
Ask HN: What are some good books you have read lately?
Everyone is different.

I still remember this doctor who wrote his horror story about quitting caffeine. (Looking back--I think the Dr. slept through Placebo, actually psychosomatic class.)

For myself, I just noticed a slight headache around day two.

So far I've kicked alcohol, tobacco, opioids, but still have a benzo addiction to kick.

(I sometimes feel those of us living in modern societies have been conditioned into believing quitting is much more difficult than it actually is? My best friend thought because he didn't have a lot of self-control, stopping smoking would be the last thing he could do. Well he stopped, and told me those commercials equating it to quitting opioids were wrong, and he wished he quit 20 years ago.)
One of commenters here on HN summed it up frankly in this way: "We are rejecting it not because it's not true, but because it's morally wrong." Yes, these facts are unpleasant. They may be depressing for some. How do you find a way out of this? Whatever Google does or says will be bad in one way or another.

Never ever using Bitbucket again, worst experience ever.

Gitlab for Git and Rhodecode for Mercurial are so much better.
Making a drink doesn't sound like it would be something inherently enjoyable. Perhaps you believe it is because of the boost you get when you drink it. Would making it for others be enjoyable in the same way?

When you next make a cup, try to tease out exactly what it is that you enjoy about making it. What is it about that experience that makes it enjoyable?
> I expect that within a couple years, Rust will be a viable alternative to Python and Ruby for backend web development

I like Rust, but I don't see this happening. Python, Ruby and PHP/Node.js languages became popular (and thus useful) because their learning curve is not steep - which is not something one can say about Rust. I consider myself capable developer but I struggled with many concepts. It's true that I didn't use it for a real project though, it might have been easier if I had clear goal in my mind.
> "because nobody is perfect. Come on."

If only I could make the same counterargument when my clients complain about downtime. :)

Sadly in the modern world people expect ridiculous uptimes and thus my expectations are just derived from my clients expectations. I don't like that much either but frankly clients often just get their expectations from their customers demands. These days people expect 24/7 uptime so my job is to facilitate that wherever I can.
What sort? I've seen types of those that look complex but can brute force in an hour or two.

I'm not a Muslim, I'm a secular Buddhist. I just wanted to understand what they were fighting about.

Then the DOJ/FBI/CIA will investigate you and find you harmless and innocent. No worries. I'd still want them to check, though, if you were my neighbor (nothing personal here, just hypothetically saying).

> Additionally, no! The site in question's primary purpose is not illegal... It's not a 'make threats about Trump' site.

I think it is. Maybe it is subjective. I'll let the DOJ and the courts decide. What do you think?

> That a subset of users have made threats in no way implicates the whole.

True, and I never said that. I just want them to be investigated, or even just ruled out.

> So, yes, it is unethical - and almost certainly a violation of the 4th. I'm not okay with ceding the protections of the constitution to assuage your fear. Terrorists scare me exactly none, nor do these people threatening the president scare me.

I don't think it is unethical. I think it is unethical to provide a platform to violent terrorists, and defend them. I'm glad you're fearless, but I want a society in which these violent anti-democracy lunatics rot inside a jail, and not roam the streets.

> If they were gonna assassinate the president, they'd not announce it online. If they do, they are too stupid to act on the threat. By all means, prosecute them. However, narrow the warrant to just the accounts that made threats.

DOJ thinks all accounts are suspect. They would like to check. I think it is perfectly reasonable, given the level of violence we have seen from these groups recently.

> Fear doesn't motivate me to give up my rights. It also doesn't motivate me to insist you give up your rights.

Amen, but let's let the police do their job. They create an environment which allows us to be free, and to say anything we want without fear of repercussions.

It's a website that specifically attacks the president.

So what? As long there is no true threat that's their first amendment right to do.

But moreover: What does that have to do with visitors to the site who don't even comment, but just visit the site?

Here's some insight on the subject if you want to educate yourself :

Circular saws with blunt blades are downright dangerous please be very careful with that thing and fix that blade. The saw now requires a lot more force to work and can get jammed in the hole far easier because it doesn't really cut wide enough. The momentum in the blade can then cause the whole saw to jump out and that's really scary.
I'm on a break but I used to take them for the general enhancing effect and going deeper into meditation. Sometimes during day even in public places, which was a big mistake in the generally nervous/anxious place I was in life. Perhaps I got too arrogant.

Really, HN? Parent might not be a _popular_ opinion, but the parent stated the opinion in a mature, non-inflammatory manner. Communities go downhill quickly when a certain "critical mass" of users get downvote rights, and downvoting becomes a poor proxy for intelligent discourse. It is deeply frustrating when a cool community such as HN increasingly stifles reasoned debate with the split second, zero cost decision of downvoting a comment you don´t agree with.

Remove downvoting, or increase the cost of downvoting (as in, one downvote will cost you 5 karma points, or something like that) because the HN I grew to enjoy is quickly starting to look like just another subreddit.

edit: typos
I have tried not drinking any, but the inability to focus and headaches mean that trying to cutback seriously puts my job at risk.

Hey, I've been there.

How do you consume your caffeine? Black coffee or something else?

If you're drinking coffees with a bunch of cream and sugar, or energy drinks, you're addicted to both caffeine and sugar. Try quitting one at a time. Slowly switch to unsweetened tea/coffee so that you're getting your caffeine but not blasts of sugar. Even if that's all you do it's an improvement in mood/energy. Once the sugar thing's stabilized you can think about tapering down the caffeine. YMMV but if you do it over the course of a week or so you should be fine.

If you're drinking diet soda energy drinks with no sugar... I still feel like these have a lot of the effects of sugar because they trigger a lot of the same chemicals in the body. I think these artificial sweeteners have their own weirdly addictive properties.

In any case... good luck!!!
Who threatened him? Nobody has been accused of threatening - the people who were arrested in the case at issue are charged with rioting.

And even if one of the rioters had also made threats, how is getting 1.3 million ip addresses of visitors to the site that organized the protest possibly salient to that investigation? It's not a forum, there isn't going to be any further incriminating evidence on it. If the threatener visited the site, the went to the protest and made the threat, what exactly does the government gain by proving that he visited it?

What the author didn't mention, and I haven't seen mentioned in these comments, are the extremely beneficial health effects of coffee (not caffeine, decaf has shown the same benefits). Most significantly, studies have shown that coffee reduces overall mortality rates significantly, with the reduced chance of dying from any cause increasing with coffee consumption (up to a point).

>Compared with nonconsumers, participants in the highest quartile of coffee consumption had statistically significantly lower all-cause mortality (men: HR, 0.88 [95% CI, 0.82 to 0.95]; P for trend < 0.001; women: HR, 0.93 [CI, 0.87 to 0.98]; P for trend = 0.009). Inverse associations were also observed for digestive disease mortality for men (HR, 0.41 [CI, 0.32 to 0.54]; P for trend < 0.001) and women (HR, 0.60 [CI, 0.46 to 0.78]; P for trend < 0.001). Among women, there was a statistically significant inverse association of coffee drinking with circulatory disease mortality (HR, 0.78 [CI, 0.68 to 0.90]; P for trend < 0.001) and cerebrovascular disease mortality (HR, 0.70 [CI, 0.55 to 0.90]; P for trend = 0.002) and a positive association with ovarian cancer mortality (HR, 1.31 [CI, 1.07 to 1.61]; P for trend = 0.015). In the EPIC Biomarkers subcohort, higher coffee consumption was associated with lower serum alkaline phosphatase; alanine aminotransferase; aspartate aminotransferase; γ-glutamyltransferase; and, in women, C-reactive protein, lipoprotein(a), and glycated hemoglobin levels.

In addition, according to other studies, coffee prevents and/or reverses liver damage due to alcohol consumption. One study suggested an extremely significant (44%) reduction in occurrences of cirrhosis among those who drink 2 cups of coffee a day.

When considering whether or not to give up your morning coffee, consider the good with the bad.
That's a good argument, I don't understand why you're being downvoted.
However, if we assume that the reason why only men made it because they're competitive, and this is a part of the "social construct" of masculinity, wouldn't women in tech, who are often fighting with discrimination in the workplace, do their best to and try to participate too? Being among the finalists of a prestigious coding competition means you no longer need to prove anything to your male co-workers.

> bulk of society who are not and will not ever be smart.

It used to be that most people are illiterate, and cant do maths either. I'm sure if you measure IQ back then, it'd be quite low. And yet, the population got education, and lo and behold, the avg IQ increased.

Making the assumption that intelligence remains constant is wrong. I'd even suggest that most people are capable of doing things that you might consider require high intelligence, like writing code, or doing research, or designing solutions. Those who currently can't are merely so because of lack of opportunity (especially during formative years).

Making the money to increase the level of education will have the indirect effect of curbing the automation and unemployment problem.

The same criticism has been applied to top-tier universities such as Harvard:

This helped me a great deal with people. That is, I kept falling in love with "narcissists" (probably not fully fledged, but bad enough) and then cried about how they treated me, tried to show them how wrong they are, and all that. But I always found something where I gave them power, and people who didn't allow their borders to be violated, always rolled their eyes and wondered what I even saw in them. Narcissists and their prey do play a game with each other, no doubt in my mind about it. I don't accept blame for how others treated me, but for that I let myself be treated that way, if that makes sense.

But I also lost someone very close to me in a totally pointless accident, like a flower pot falling on their head. There is no responsibility to accept there, just sadness. That's okay, a growing opportunity even, but still no blessing. So I don't fully subscribe to it -- it helps with people, but not completely with life.

sorry, after re-reading the op I can see I misinterpreted your comment to mean SSRIs, benzodiazepines, and psilocybin had a similar effect on the brain. we don't disagree.
The slowness has one more advantage: it's very hard to burn the sides of the hole with a hand powered tool. This can be important for instance when re-boring the hole for a pin in a piano pin block. If the wood burns during the boring the pin won't hold so going extremely slow and giving the wood time to cool is crucial to a good repair.
Can you elaborate on that? How is that even possible in modern internet?
No seriously, show the transactions you consider to be spam. Classify them in some tangible way, then identify the users behind them.

The specific claim was that it was from "Roger Ver and his cronies," not that a mempool backlog exists.

Show the transactions you claim to be "spam," and identify the persons behind them. Go do it.

I have a fairly unhealthy lifestyle. When I started getting panic attacks, trembling, palpitations, skin rashes, walking up 5x during the night, feeling exhausted all day, etc, I stopped taking caffeine... And did not change a single other thing.

It took me over a month to few "normal" again.

First week: headaches, back pain, vomiting, nausea, cramps, etc.

Second week: feeling like shit. Had no energy for anything.

Third week: a resemblance of being normal again.

Fourth week: feeling like I was at 60% of my previous energy levels and thinking "this sucks but if this is the new normal, I can get used to it".

Second month: energy levels are back, never feel sleepy again, focus is back completely, etc. I'm even thinking about gym, running, etc.

So this is my data point. From 3-4 expressos and of caffeinated sodas to zero.
Sure - but is there any alternatives? Gitlab does have issues, but so do GitHub (and other providers).

If your service is taken down by code hosting going away there is issues - unless you are running a code hosting service, or managed DevOps - in which case, the onus is on you to develop for failure (of any provider)
Biggest tip: make sure you're not addicted to sugar as well. If you are taking your caffeine as part of a sugary concoction, taper down the sugar part and get onto plain coffee/tea.

Then taper down the coffee. Have 3/4 of a cup when you would have had a whole cup. Then 1/2 cup. Etc.

YMMV but I find I can do it fairly easily over the course of a week usually. With the amount you're drinking, maybe a month would be easier. Go as slow as you want... it's not a "macho" contest, there's 0 reason to make it hurt. Go as slowly as you want... no need to impact your mood or anything.
I'm surprised no one here mentioned Lazarus [1].

Sure, it is based on a language which some people have aversions against (for unclear reasons), but it in fact does cross-platform GUI development almost flawlessly, and almost completely friction-less (no, or very little, code change to compile on the three desktop platforms).

Try open up a stable version on your platform of choice, drop a button on the form, double click and write some code (with autocompletion) and compile ... and then import the project on another OS and compile ... It's all a pretty mind-blowing experience, just how productive and "Just Works" the whole thing is.

To expand a bit, it compiles to compiled binaries in the range of MB, uses native GUI libs on each platform (GTK or Qt on Linux for example)... and you can now link it with a language like Go if you need some heavy multi-core processing, or need to access stuff that FPC doesn't have good libraries for [2].

It was discussed in depth here on HN just 5 days ago [3]

I started contracting after about 3 years of perm work. And have been contracting since then. So you are probably ready.

Contracting is mostly about delivering business value. Solving business problems is what you get hired as a contractor for, tech is usually not that important as most companies that hire contractors don't have a good understanding of tech anyways. So they'll be happy to let you recommend the technical solution that solves their business problem.
I think ADD is now just ADHD. ADHD without hyperactivity is called ADHD predominantly inattentive.

As for meditation, there's a lot of value in practicing sitting still without fidgeting, by focusing on one thing and, most importantly, bringing the attention back when the mind wanders.

This builds up strength in typical problem areas such as racing thoughts, impulsiveness, restlessness.

The only thing that's difficult is remembering to do it and building a habit. It doesn't help there and that's one thing that is a big problem for me, perhaps you and many others with ADHD!

The mindfulness prescription for ADHD is a great book :)
