>we just don't want our children to have to worry about whooping cough and polio.

Your children don't worry about either as they don't know what either is.

If you do (which of course you should) why is your type always for open borders? There's a form of polio in California now that has crippled thousands of children the past year and no one talks about it. The LA Times has ligtly touched on it the past few months and that's about it.

It's almost as if your type would rather see their child crippled then say something a foreigner didn't like. Very important that Mexicans you don't know think you aren't 'racist' rather than, your child being healthy.

Third world people bring third world problems like diseases that have been previously erradicted. Germany is seeing things hey haven't in over fifty years. But you keep shooting your kid up with mercury and aluminum like a good goy. Never mind that it can kill them or make them a retard and that the drug companies have complete immunity.

Oh yeah, try and find a study on what happens when you give a large group a cocktail of these shoots. You won't find one. That seems strange, doesn't it? Go on PubMed, whatever and try and locate one. There's some doctors talking about giving children several dozen of these AT ONCE.

There's also 200+ vaccines in the works. New DNA ones. That Guardasil was the first of it's type. Look into how safe that was. Also, how UNNEEDED it is. Maybe then you'll be less of a lemming and more of a parent.
Exactly. If the teachings in the patent aren't necessary or even useful to future developers, then what was the point of granting a 20-year monopoly in the first place? No research expenses needed to be recouped, and there was never any danger that some arcane knowledge would be locked away forever as a trade secret.

Many patents don't reward the first person who solves a given problem, so much as they reward the first person to encounter a given problem. That person adopts a trivial, obvious solution and the USPTO cheerfully rubber-stamps it at everyone else's expense. This was clearly one of those patents. It cost Amazon essentially nothing to research, nothing to develop, and nothing to implement, but the rewards were immense.
So we shouldn't allow jobs which may expose employees to psychologically harmful experiences? You realize you'd have to outlaw a whole slew of professions, right? If you can't take it then don't work the job, Yeesh.
Only five hours? Consider yourself lucky you didn't have it for 48.
Along those lines, the Outlook developers forgot to implement message recalls on the Mac client.
Soylent is so awful for you. They really capitalized on the ignorance of millenials with regard to proper nutrition.

edit: Shouldn't have trigger responded, but one of my biggest gripes with Soylent is their use of maltodextrin. It's not something you want to be consuming in mass every day. It is good for post-workout nutrition but as a meal you may as well be consuming sugar.
I think of it as more important when email is being used as an announcement medium - I'm ok leaving a mistake/sending a correction to one or two people, but not 1100.
All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.

Mutt, Pine, Eudora, and Thunderbird, welcome home.

Multiprocess has been gradually rolled out since last year. Check about:support, you might have some ancient addon installed that isn't compatible.

Developer tools have never had a huge market, but the enterprise ops automation market is huge. Think of IBM - this is their bread & butter.

Investors must be betting that containers are going to be the next Java, XML, or virtualization in enterprise computing, and that by controlling that technology, Docker positions themselves for extremely lucrative enterprise IT support contracts.
The thing is, the crowd that gets their news from Snapchat would agree with you that most news is garbage. Which is why they get it on snap.

I love HN as much as you do, but the stories here equally pander to a demographic. It's just closer to ours.
Well for me being stuck at a desk all day (whether standing, sitting, or on my head), is intolerable full stop. I feel that my current lifestyle probably maximises both lifespan, physical and mental health, and enjoyment. (I work for myself from home on my own projects, and take regular breaks and exercise).

I realise that I'm quite fortunate to be in this situation...my wife hates her job and is desperately trying to figure out if she can make it tolerable, or if there's something else she can do instead.
A less efficient language with a much better UI toolkit, seems a reasonable trade-off to make for a lot of people.
>Your children don't worry about either as they don't know what either is.

Because vaccinations work. Mic drop. Enjoy your little troll account while it lasts, though.
Just curious, what are you system specs?

I like VS Code and I've been using it for Rust projects, but I have lots of intermittent UI jankiness, where I will start typing and nothing will happen for up to a second or two. In addition UI operations in general are perceptibly (though not to me annoyingly) slower than a native application. It's not all the fault of extensions: all I had installed was Hg and the Rust extensions, and though the latter, particularly with RLS mode enabled, did make things worse, the problem's still there without them.

To be fair, it's an older laptop (Core 2 Duo), but it has absolutely zero problem running Sublime or even full-on Visual Studio, and to me it's a little disappointing.
its an off-line email client that is accessed via chrome.

think electron app, but without electron, and instead running directly in chrome.
Not sure about this, but Vice's snapchat content is often taken from other Vice publications and then very poorly copied. Lots of spelling mistakes nearly every post.
Any numbers I tried to find on UK and NHS spending show them going up steadily since the 90s, and ignoring some 5-year fluctuations spending seems to never have been higher: http://election2015.ifs.org.uk/uploads/images/election_graph...

When did the defunding you're talking about happen?
it's about the safety of the mushrooms
In what way? According to who?
I have noticed posts on Facebook now, finally, asking people not to feed the trolls by responding to their messages.

I think that social media companies have been irresponsible in their passing the buck on moderating conversations in the name of avoiding censorship.

I am more concerned, however, that people my age and younger (gen x) never had civics in school. There used to be an assumption that the world is chaotic, and that all we have is each other, which meant that the best society has to offer is its culture. Being uncultured was seen as so uncouth that people wouldn't stand for it. Today it's everywhere.

I see people questioning other people's patriotism every day. I see conspiracy theories given the same benefit of the doubt as science. I see lies told on the news without retraction or accountability.

Without a mass movement to educate and inform people about how to think critically and treat one another with dignity, technology will be of little help.

That said, I'm still hopeful that the tech community can help leapfrog this ugliness. Or at least, quantify the problem and begin working towards solutions.
With a lot of experience using of the health system he talks of.
Well, the content in Snapchat is more or less what you make of it, and the news stuff in general is a fairly recent addition. So while it's probably a little bit of both, I think Snapchat was mainly used by its current demographic much before this content.
Did you know humans are 70% mushroom?
I'm going to need some citations on that one...

Less clickbaity title: "Washington man facing prison for drug possession".

Whether someone should be jailed for picking psilocybin mushrooms is up for discussion (hint: they shouldn't), but he wasn't arrested for picking Portobellos.

The "robotjobpocalypse" was pretty much always just a politically expedient way of scapegoating aggregate job losses caused by outsourcing and austerity.

It's also something that some companies (notably Foxconn & Restaurants) like to threaten regularly to keep their employees on their toes.
It'll be interesting if he can keep to the two to three year timeline for commercial availability for a battery that promises to be better and cheaper than existing lithium batteries.
Weird, I always ignored the news 'show' but this prompted me to watch it and it had nothing that you just brought up. It talked the Barcelona attack, Bannon getting fired, and a couple of other actually worthwhile things. Granted, there were a couple of dumb things (like Taylor Swift's social media disappearing or something), but it still exceeded my (admittedly low) expectations
It looks like code completion is extremely basic. I tried this:

struct Point { x: i32, y: i32 }

fn main() {
println!("Hello, world!");

let pt = Point { x: 1, y: 2 };
println!("{} {}", pt.x, pt.y);

let v = vec![ pt ];
let vpt = &v[0];
println!("{} {}", vpt.x, vpt.y);
}

And I can't get any dot-completions on vpt (but I can on pt). Which is also kinda weird, because if I hover over vpt, it does know that it is a &Point...

Even more weird is that if I add a type declaration to "let vpt" (specifying the same type that would be inferred), then completion works.

That sounds like a really basic scenario... I mean, type inference for locals is pervasive in Rust.
What else could it have been? I needed a way to do simple arithmetic and pretty-print my recipe and its nutrients as I (re-)adjust it at least.
wow. I had no idea about this, but it correctly calculated my DL number.

I'd encourage you to give Firefox another shot. They've improved a lot in the last couple of versions. More pertinent, in my opinion, is that they're on a promising trajectory and I'd expect it to be incredible in the medium term.
An electron app, without electron, accessed via chrome in chrome? ... So, a ... Webapp? You mean like, gmail.com or outlook.com?
Hmm... "You don't like it? Go jump in a lake." Is that really an explanation?
It's full of maltodextrin which is about as healthy as pounding sugar.
The dozens of people on the Soylent subreddit who got weeks of diarrhea followed by jaundice? Though I think my favorite was the people who were arguing that some level of mold was acceptable if it meant they didn't have to deal with the inconvenience of foil seals.
All that's old is new again!
Deactivate your account.

I'm serious, but of course your manager needs to support you in your decision. For me Slack represents a 20-30% productivity hit, and it should be Slack that justifies taking up my time rather than vice versa.

If someone needs to talk to me, they can email or approach my desk. I know this approach wouldn't be practical for remote teams. But perhaps some of the async communication options like Twist would work well?
Do people use WhatsApp? I've never seen anyone use it.
Obviously we're talking about two different things. But I find it hard to believe that neoliberalism is about limiting the tax and regulatory authority of the state when neoliberals gave the ACA to America - a policy that increased the tax and regulatory authority of the State.

To the extent that people identify centerist DNC politicians with neoliberalism, I'll say "that's what neoliberalism is".
> What else could it have been?

UGH. Sorry, but this came across kind of strong.

I think what OP is really asking is how is this suppose to be used? If this is a simple "let me show you", all right, but the README and the screenshot are confusing, but all right....

But I think people here generally expect a "so this is how you can actually use my program" when you do a shameless plug.
I've studied nutrition pretty heavily in the past as it pertained to my bodybuilding.

They could have used so many better ingredients. Maltodextrin is the cheapest and worst complex carb you could have put in it. It's chemically a complex but really your body doesn't react much differently to it than other simple sugars.
The whole idea to just change the compiler on Windows is exciting. The packages on Windows provide drop-in integration with VisualStudio.
Thanks, we've updated the headline to clarify.
Refraction networking depends on an incentive scheme where the costs of cutting off all outside TLS access is too great a burden to bear for censoring networks or countries.

However, some countries are actively working to build enough self-sufficiency and content that a smaller and smaller minority of their users will ever "need" to reach beyond state-observed wall gardens.

The effectiveness of technologies like refraction networking can be amplified if paired with compelling content only accessible outside tightly controlled cyber-borders. Unfortunately, this is much harder than it sounds.

I'm glad to hear that "larger, longer-term trial deployments" of TapDance are in the works.
Actually, after reading the whole article, he was picking an unidentified mushroom that later proved to contain psilocybin. This point seems relevant.
Lombok takes care of all the boiler plate code for Java mentioned in the article. Just add a @Data annotation and you will never have to see a getter/setter or generate hashcode unless you have a special need for it. Lombok can even provide a builder, which is my preferred way of creating immutable objects.

There is also a Lombok-plugin for Intellij IDEA that enables you to use the autogenerated getters/setters in the editor.

I'm surprised that Lombok is not used more.

As someone who can't stand the taste of them I'm still enthralled by the prospect of collecting mushrooms for fun and their culinary value. The trouble I run into is how I have no idea what's good to eat, what'll make you sick, what'll get you high, and what'll just simply kill you.

Guidebooks are worse than useless, because you can never be sure that the slight differences between the mushroom you're looking at and your best guess in the guidebook are unimportant or a distinction that means the one you picked is fatal instead of edible.

There's no app for this. [EDIT: Ok, there are apps for this, but there's always room for improvement]

There should be. And this guy could earn a modest income helping some semi-talented ML and mobile engineers in Washington build one with his wealth of knowledge.

Take a picture of a mushroom with your phone, and it'll help you tell what you can expect from it.

Nothing helps with legal or medical problems like not having to worry about relatively tiny amounts of money.
Apperently more like a plugin. Pure web technologies don't give you more than a couple 100mb of local storage (at best).

A startup can get the same stack and much more from AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. If it should bet on one company, it should bet on the cloud it's already using.

No, the result of a "narrow Overton window" is just anybody worth a damn leaving the conversation.

Which is what the trolls and their heroic free speech defenders really want. The primary objective of carrying around Nazi flags and or spewing hate against "feminists" is to silence everybody but yourself. This is exactly how the real Nazis did it.

Imagine the liability concerns. Only takes a few false positives...

Probably much smarter is a general ML based app that allows user-defined, crowdsourced datasets. So for example, you download the app, and you pay to train a model using datasets that other people gathered. This could be used for things such as middle school science experiments (what is ML? what are the differences between cloud and rock types?) to things like magic mushroom identification. Since the models and datasets are user-curated, you're less exposed to liability, since you merely provide the platform
SimpleDNN: a simple yet well structured machine learning library in Kotlin
Nobody is pretending that ugly and socially awkward people have never been discriminated against by individuals and peer groups; all kinds of people are cruelly and unusually treated on a large variety of arbitrary and non-arbitrary criteria on a daily basis, and many more are marginalised.

But social awkwardness isn't something which was only decriminalised 14 years ago in the US and still illegal in 72 countries. Influential religious leaders do not deliver sermons on the duty of ugly people to subordinate themselves to their partners. Beautiful, socially adept people don't hold tiki-torch-lit rallies to venerate people that lead the fight to keep ugly or socially awkward people as property.

Maybe nobody influential is making the emotional argument that kids bullied for their individual awkwardnesses should be protected as a group because nobody influential is making the emotional argument for discriminating against socially awkward children as a group...

Protected discrimination classes haven't emerged as a consequence of extensive research to find hints of systematic discrimination, they've arisen as a response to obvious, organised and usually very open attempts to encourage and enforce systematic discrimination. If you're inclined to make the mistake of assuming that discrimination against protected classes is historic or the result of statistical fishing expeditions, it's probably because - whatever other mistreatment or misfortunes you might have suffered in your life - you're not in a group that is subject to organised and systematic attempts to suppress it.
That isn't a panacea. Even though secure elements today have clever defenses against physical attack, they're no match against a sufficiently-funded adversary.

Contrast cryptography, where no amount of money or human effort could defeat, say, 256-bit symmetric encryption.

The reason this matters is that if you accept that defeating physical defenses is always a matter of money, then you must next decide the attack cost that's sufficiently high to protect your assets.

Then when you learn that the cost to defeat any hardware wallet, including Trezor, is already very high, you understand that we might as well be debating the merits of 255- vs. 256-bit encryption.

(Note that this is not meant to draw an equivalence between hardware Bitcoin wallets and modern symmetric cryptography. There is a big difference. But not a difference that improves the infeasibility of mounting an attack against your Trezor with 25 BTC in it.)
Definitely relevant but it seems like this would probably be argued as a case of probable cause. If the local police are aware that people have been picking mushrooms in the region because some of them contain psilocybin then it wouldn't be unreasonable to consider foraging for mushrooms probable cause in their jurisdiction.
TW are pretty easy going. Take a short 4mo course (up to you to take more) of mandarin so you can go out and about without a translator.

You will not likely face any racism at all, unless you go into strange places. But you won't get it from everyday people. If anything they'll more than likely assume you're educated and have good manners. They pretty much give you the benefit of the doubt.

Knowing (even basic) mandarin goes a long way.
If I were in the top 1% by height (which 6'4" is), then I'd probably have encountered this issue before, and know ahead of time of the risk.

The AI part seems to be text-to-speech powered by IBM Watson.

It sounds far from human, but there's at least things like intonation and pacing that go beyond normal TTS.

I long for the day when we can synthesize perfectly human-sounding voices in real-time on consumer hardware. The profession of voice acting will likely become a matter of recording samples followed by licensing one's likeness.
Really? I don't want to laugh, but snrk

Both my current and previous company got in Soylent on occasion; the current one has gotten Coffiest a few times, which I haven't tried, while the earlier one got in the bottled Soylent and the short-lived Soylent Bar. I tried the bottled version once--maybe twice?--and had no ill effects, but didn't particularly like it, either. I had no ill effects from the bar, either, and I confess I actually rather liked it. I'd probably order it again, assuming it seemed safe.

But as someone who, well, actually likes eating, I don't see the attraction of using this stuff as anything other than "I don't have enough time to cook or even go to a sit-down restaurant" type meals, the same way I would any other breakfast bar or meal drink. And looking at it that way makes their meal drinks much less appealing to me compared to, say, Ensure. Yes, Ensure has way more sugar, but it has a half-dozen fairly reasonable flavors, none of which are "dilute pancake batter."
You're seriously lumping gamergate into that?

The one thing I can't stand, and think is unfair, is when a few bad apples ruin a decentralized movement for everyone. BLM had the exact same problem, idiots delegitimizing a movement fighting a very legitimate problem, and then those scattered incidents being collected to allow organized detractors to mischaracterize them.

Now we're seeing that happen with the rightwing protests as well. Don't get me wrong, I hate nazis and also do not at all agree with Trump supporters / people that want to keep the confederate status, but they're not all nazis.

I have been using this for a while on one of my phones (OnePlus 5, newest version of OxygenOS) and am fairly satisfied with its overall performance. It works seamlessly for casual browsing - i.e. opening pages from Reddit or similar. I however cannot help but feel as if the standard version with appropriate extensions (i.e. Disconnect, uBlock Origin and thus forth) remains a better alternative than Focus in solving the very issues Focus seeks to accommodate. I do very much love how closing the browser erases everything though. It is worth mentioning that the ability to install extensions is exclusive to Android for now, so Firefox Focus has become my go-to-browser for my iOS devices. If you have Android the above is worth considering though!
