Ask HN: What did you think of Trump's speech at the UN?
First let me say that I think Donal Trump is a dick. I voted for Hillary Clinton, not because I like anything about her, but because I felt that electing Donald Trump would be an embarrassment to my country and I couldn't be a part of it. However, at times I have found myself siding with Trump, not because he was right, but because the U.S. press has been so biased against him that they have undermined their own credibility. They would lie, cheat, or steal to bring him down, to the point of failing to deliver the news. If I want to find out about a hurricane or an earthquake, I must find a news agency that isn't talking about Trump's latest insults on Twitter (which isn't possible). Tonight, I went on Youtube and found the full content of Trump's speech today at the UN. I found it to be, at a minimum, the most important speech ever delivered at the UN by a U.S. president. I don't remember any U.S. president calling out (with such specificity and detail) the dangerous, evil, and corrupt nations of the world (North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela). I don't for a minute believe that Trump wrote, or could have written the speech. However, he chose to deliver it. So I'm asking: have you seen/heard the full speech, and what did you think?
One thing i was surprised to learn was that whatever you type as your password is actually transmitted to the server for validation! So if you typed the password for the wrong server in.. then you've just leaked that other password to the server you were trying to connect to! uh oh!

if you use keys, this doesn't happen.
Even then it's not like you know the pricing - is your surgeon a hospital employee? Many are not and have their own billing. Is the hospital quoting you for the anesthesiologist? Nope. Radiologist (separate from the imaging itself)? Maybe.... Evaluation of removed tissue for cancer, etc? Likely separately billed.

Getting an answer on all of those for costs is going to be very hard. You might be better off finding someone who'll give you a fixed cost that they're pretty sure will provide them a profit when everything is done.

Not sure what to call a service like that though.
> When you look around your kitchen, the sensations of color are nearly instantaneously associated with rich semantic information about the various objects.

Nearly. This is why the main thrust of meditation is about becoming aware of ever-subtler processes, both on- and off-cushion. When there's enough awareness to distinguish between the arising of bare perception and the associations it triggers (for example), it becomes clear why we identified consciousness with association, and why it doesn't quite capture what we were originally curious about. Something interesting remains. As more and more functions (modeling, associating, remembering, attending, etc.) get distilled away, you'd think the mystery gets smaller and smaller. But experientially speaking, I think it only gets bigger.
> What you need is that people stop conjuring new words to explain the same things over and over again

For a forum of smart people, dumb things get posted a lot.

Making up new words is an organic feature of an individuals development. No one is under an obligation to do as you wish.

Go work on it if it means that much to you. Stop expecting everyone else to get it done for you.

> When authors in the philosophy of mind stops rehashing ideas that could and most likely have occurred to 17th century philosophers

You don't even know? Pretty bold assertion then. One would think the genius that is so willing to explain how everyone else is screwing it up would be better acquainted with the situation than "could" and "most likely"

The insurance company's methods of establishing the pool are far less coercive and destructive than the state's. Additionally, people can opt not to participate with an insurance company (or at least they used to be able to), so they have some motivation to be efficient and provide a basically decent level of service ... this is not true of the state. So establishing that large, mandatory pool has a downside.
Question: I've had an SSH server open to the world for months on a nonstandard port. I've never gotten any attacks logged on fail2ban, to the point where I suspect fail2ban is either not logging the attacks or not operating correctly... even though it logs every login I'm aware of just fine, so it really seems like there really haven't been any attacks. I find this so unlikely. Is this normal? Does no one scan high ports ever? Are there any more plausible explanations?

In almost any category conceivable (police presence on the streets, incarceration weights, bureaucratic oversight), the PRC is significantly more libertarian than the US. It is true that the CIA has invested a tremendous amount of energy and money into political issues designed to delegitimize the CCP -- Tibet, Falun Gong, and Taiwan. Liberalizing speech around these topics would likely be more efficient counterstrategy than the current approach, which is a remnant of an older model of socialist statecraft.
I really think I would have to leave China if not for Shadowsocks. It is my only reliable tunnel to the outside internet. I'd love to meet Clowwindy one day and hear about his experience.
> Some source migration will be needed for many projects, although the number of source changes are quite modest compared to many previous major changes between Swift releases.

It seems like the language still needs some time to be completely mature, or am I wrong? I haven't used it since 1.0
For what it is worth I do to. It is amusing to get to tell them I already have solar at which point they look up and then walk away. But think about it... What kind of margin pays to have someone walk door to door? That is the kind of waste that the system has not yet rung out and why residential costs don't seem to be going down as much as they should. As long as all of the installers don't drive their costs down they all get to enjoy growing profits!
True but it hasn't crashed yet.
You sound like a Red Hat employee. In fairness, it may be less of a power management issue and more of a mediocre laptop issue. The last laptop that I had (T540p) was a similar experience to yours, especially after it was a few years old. The new P50 that replaced it has similar specs, no bulging battery, and can last for 4 hours+ even under pretty heavy load (lightly loaded could be closer to 8 hours).

I won't disagree with you about the software experience that you describe, though. Evolution is absolutely horrible. Boxes is horrible, but I really liked virt-manager for server virtualization once I got used to it.

I used to have tons of issues with Bluetooth, but none so far with Fedora 26 (knock on wood). It definitely wouldn't surprise me if that experience is still uneven, and Bluetooth in general is pretty mediocre.
Yes there has recently been :

- promise to block all VPN services from accessing blocked website

- law to hold chat group owners responsible to what the members say (controverse political talk or gambling for example can lead to arrests)

- most of casual barbecue that were held in the streets last summer have been forced to close this year in my area

- tightening and more scrutinity on visa applications for foreigners (there has been some abuse so this is legitimate)

- more random drug tests and work visa checks on foreigners (again there are many illegal teachers so can't blame them)

- ban of many cheeses (like blue cheese)

- ban of Winnie the pooh from social media following a picture mocking Xi as looking like Winnie

China is getting more and more authoritarian and strict. Some of these moves are because of the big party congress in one month where Xi is excepted to renew his term
False. Maybe YCombinator/Hacker News startups rarely use .NET, but have you heard of Microsoft's BizSpark program? .NET is really popular with startups internationally as well as in middle USA.

I think so; not because it is so great but because it's more 'cheap tv' for people. Just stare at videos and how great your 'friends' are doing. Hype yourself up and feel your did something today as you wrote something or posted something and got more than your own like. My contacts are 90% people I know well and see regularly (a lot of them smart people) and yet my timeline feels fake and plastic; it is just easy watching and chewinggum for the eyes. All the cool pages and feeds catered to their audience, making headlines more sensational but providing nothing in terms of article behind it; who wants to actually read that stuff right? You can tell your mates that the apocalypse is coming this Saturday and noone will ask you what/why anyway and the headlines told you so.

It is some crazy ultimate circle jerk and echo chamber, made for incredibly easy consumption (the latter getting worse). For countries where deep thought about some subjects is forbidden, I guess it is worse.

I stopped using Facebook; only use messenger and occasionally upvote someone's birthday. But yes I believe it was and is inevitable because we are human and it is in us to consume mostly.
I expect this sort of work doesn't get enough praise because it's just the start of what a full OS would look like, but I think having OS kernels written with more memory safety is awesome and necessary.

Well, "feudalism" is an exaggeration since you can belong to as many as you want, and sharing some things (such as republishing links) is not hard.

But there is always going to be some kind of a speedbump when sharing between places with different policies. When you have borders between things that are genuinely different (even if they're gratuitous differences), you have border issues. Bigger social networks mean you reach more people without going over a border, which encourages growth.

Borders are everywhere. In the enterprise space, you can look at the growth of Amazon and Google Cloud. In devtools, each programming language tends to be its own domain. (Which is why we call them "foreign" functions.)
The MIT license doesn't change anything in this case, because the MIT license doesn't have a patent grant.

This GraphQL situation is different and, arguably, somewhat worse than the ReactJS BSD+Patent license issue.

The problem here is the GraphQL specification doesn't have a patent grant (unlike ReactJS, which does, but people don't like the terms of the grant). And Facebook have filed a patent for GraphQL (https://www.google.com/patents/US9646028) that has some quite broad language.

Due to the patent, and the lack of a patent grant, most GraphQL users likely infringe on Facebook's patents.

This is because if a law is too vague, it is considered unconstitutional.

As part of due process, it should be clear from reading the law if I'm breaking it. I shouldn't have to guess and face years in prison if I happen to be wrong.

Have you heard it said that you can never know if another being is really conscious, and yet you can know that you are? Presumably you disagree? This is what, in essence, it means to be a subjective fact rather than an objective one, and why it's hard to pin it down as a "thing."

I'm not in favor of single payer healthcare, but to say there's no evidence that it works is inaccurate. Healthcare in Canada provides the same health outcomes as ours for half the price. If that doesn't interest you because they do it with the wrong philosophy, you're an ideologue. In fact, the evidence that your proposed changes would give a 50% reduction in cost seems a lot slimmer than the case for straight-up single payer.

>Control economies do not work, how much more evidence do we need before people stop saying "this time is different, we just need the RIGHT people this time"?

The current system is just a different control economy. Companies don't really care about the cost because non-transportable health care is one lever of control that enables then to depress wages.
As I said, it doesn't work for the most expensive medical care. The most expensive medical condition is sepsis.[1] You're not gonna shop around if you have sepsis. Also in the top 10: heart attacks, pneumonia and strokes.

Except in China it goes like this:

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you are never heard from again.
From Plutarch's "Lucullus":

"Lucullus now turned his attention to the cities in Asia, in order that, while he was at leisure from military enterprises, he might do something for the furtherance of justice and law. Through long lack of these, unspeakable and incredible misfortunes were rife in the province. Its people were plundered and reduced to slavery by the tax-gatherers and money-lenders. Families were forced to sell their comely sons and virgin daughters, and cities their votive offerings, pictures, and sacred statues. At last men had to surrender to their creditors and serve them as slaves, but what preceded this was far worse, — tortures of rope, barrier, and horse; standing under the open sky in the blazing sun of summer, and in winter, being thrust into mud or ice. Slavery seemed, by comparison, to be disburdenment and peace. Such were the evils which Lucullus found in the cities, and in a short time he freed the oppressed from all of them."

"In the first place, he ordered that the monthly rate of interest should be reckoned at one per cent., and no more; in the second place, he cut off all interest that exceeded the principal; third, and most important of all, he ordained that the lender should receive not more than the fourth part of his debtor's income, and any lender who added interest to principal was deprived of the whole. Thus, in less than four years' time, the debts were all paid, and the properties restored to their owners unencumbered. This public debt had its origin in the twenty thousand talents which Sulla had laid upon Asia as a contribution, and twice this amount had been paid back to the money-lenders. Yet now, by reckoning usurious interest, they had brought the total debt up to a hundred and twenty thousand talents. These men, accordingly, considered themselves outraged, and raised a clamour against Lucullus at Rome. They also bribed some of the tribunes to proceed against him, being men of great influence, who had got many of the active politicians into their debt. Lucullus, however, was not only beloved by the peoples whom he had benefited, nay, other provinces also longed to have him set over them, and felicitated those whose good fortune it was to have such a governor."

I think there's a huge difference between "federal government is responsible" and specifically single payer solution. There's more ways fed gov could be involved.
Podcasts? Audiobooks? I've had some really great experiences on long drives listening to thought-provoking non-fiction audiobooks. Recommend it highly. (Of course a pair of headphones and your device of choice can probably do just as well if not better.)
The thing I hated most about my automotive purchase was the nav. I'm not sure any built-in, eventual bit-rotten nav would be any better though.

On the one hand, we can't even get manufacturers of our phones to keep the software on their devices up to date past a couple years and somehow they're our last hope for your in-dash media player? I guess some people jump to a new lease every couple years, but I don't see the mobile model being the future of car ownership.

On the other hand, cars have mostly avoided the security disasters of other embedded devices so it might be fine. Unless of course, we make them into the eventual IoT device everyone wants them to be. I mean these software-controlled navs now need to both downloads updated maps and show you engine diagnostics. Doesn't this seem like a bad idea waiting to happen?

It sucks that only the low-quality models can escape these devices. Soon it'll be like Smart TVs where your choices are 480x600 or 4K Samsung SpywarePro.patchfix-m2015.
That sounds like a much better solution than I've used in the past. By simply restricting total # of connections / IP to one my attacks dropped dramatically, but not gone completely.

I think it's just a matter of numbers. The IP search space is already pretty large with IPv4 on just a single port. With IPv6 it'll be more or less impossible for attackers to make any substantial progress by just searching for IP addresses to attack, let alone an IPv6 address on a non-standard port.

After reading this I'm likely going to be upgrading my technique. SSH on IPv6 only (eventually shutting down IPv4 altogether, can't wait), listening on a non-standard port, limit 1 connection per IP.
The pace of breaking changes is slowing down. Swift 3.1 was intended to be source compatible with 3.0, and Swift 4 has a "Swift 3.2" mode which tries to be source compatible with 3.0/3.1.
I would add Tinder as another reason for less sex. You have thousands of posible candidates on your finger prints, why wouldn't you get the perfect one? So people skip most people and only small percent succeed. Before you were in the bar with few less options, darker and with more alcohol, so you were more likely to match someone more real and normal.
It's a 24/7 market; the price responds a lot faster than other markets. So looking at day-over-day price isn't a good gauge. Additionally, by the time a story is known at large, it's usually been known for a bit among those who follow Bitcoin, so you'll see it already priced in.

The only solution is for employers to stop offering healthcare. Give the equivalent in salary to employees and let the employee figure it out. When this starts to en masses healthcare will get figured really quickly, i.e. single payer

The Fortune 1,000 won’t do this because they can control employees, wages and competition. Getting a small company off the ground is so much harder because only recent grads are willing to take a job without healthcare. I’ve turned down a dozen companies because of healthcare issues.

I also find it strange that we discuss guaranteed income as a viable solution but not guaranteed healthcare.

TL;DR - In 2012, Yahoo sued Facebook over 10 patents, "general sentiment in the industry was that the lawsuit against Facebook was without merit; some said Yahoo was a patent troll." Facebook spent a lot of money acquiring a patent warchest to be used defensively against patent suits in the future. Yahoo then drops the patent infringement case.

"The key thing to understand is that Facebook used and invested in patents as an important way to defend itself."

Facebook asserts that anyone can use these open source libraries with a patent use grant. However, if that company then sues Facebook over patent infringement, Facebook reserves the right to revoke all patent grants so they can use their own patents in a countersuit.

I can see how it makes sense for Facebook, but still a toxic effect on the actual "open source" status of React et al.
So, you agree with my comment? It still needs a bit more time to stabilize.
Wow, I was just making a joke and you responded with something really insightful that I have never thought about at all. I've toured one of the museum submarines a few years ago and it amazed me how cramped everything was. It didn't even occur to me how difficult food storage would have to be.

I'd suggest William Stanley Jevons, Money and the Mechanism of Exchange for a clear foundational explanation of money, that still underlies much present discussion.

Chapter V in particular, on the qualities of the material of money, provides a vital set of properties which apply whether you're looking at specie, fiat, or other forms of currency: utility and value, portability, indestructability, homogeneity, divisibility, stability of value, and cognisability.

At $20K/year, I would expect a lot more households to itemize. I'm trying (and failing) to calculate off the top of my head what kind of mortgage you'd have to have for a similar deduction. But it's gotta be pretty damn big if your interest is $1600/month.
