Here's [1] a study from the Pew Research Center stating that 51% of Republicans believe the poor are poor due to "Lack of effort on his or her part" rather than "Circumstances beyond his or her control" (32%).

And here's some prominent Republicans saying similar things over the last couple years.

Typically, the point is framed as a "lack of work and effort" or a "problem with culture" rather than explicitly saying laziness is the cause of poverty. I would say the unifying thread here is that Republicans believe the poor are poor of their own volition and choices, whether that's laziness, poor decisions, or a "poor culture" (what does that even mean?).

So yes. I would say that in general, many Republicans have called the poor lazy, and while it isn't the specific verbiage they like to use in public, it is the opinion of their constituents.

I think it's also important to point out that it's not just "western fast food" conglomerates doing all the damage. Frito Lay (Pepsi Co.) had its job cut out for them by local junk food producers so they simply bought them out and stuck their logo on the bag. Bimbo which is a Mexican giant in the processed food industry has been doing exactly the same all across the Andean region.

Another very important thing to keep in mind which this article fails to mention is the influence of all the free trade agreements which were signed by countries like Colombia and Perú in recent years. Now it's become more affordable than ever to export "goods" from the U.S into these emerging markets without paying any import duties. That is why you now find supermarkets in emerging nations that bare a strikingly resemblance to their american counterparts. A quick glance through the frozen food section will reveal items that weren't even part of the local diet just a few years ago such as pot pies and tater tots.

I've been a victim of identity theft in Europe. Took many letters to several police departments in the UK and various states in Germany over the course of five years...

I've not been stopped at EU airports for awhile but I am still not 100% sure if my name is on the Interpol blacklist still. The process of clearing your name is totally opaque. A helpful officer at London MET assured me to undertake the work to do it.

The amount of times I've had to explain the very concept of "identity theft" to enforcement is just crazy. And sadly I don't think they fully understand it most of the time.

I'm a little afraid to travel to eastern Europe, since this "advance fee" for a VW fraud in my name is particularly common there and I am tired of receiving threats. Sigh....

> I see no more philosophical justification for physical property than for intellectual property.

TL;DR: physical property="who gets to have this", 'intellectual property laws'="who gets to make money from this".

Physical property isn't natural, but it's an answer to physical scarcity, which is natural.

You and your friend can build identical houses, they can't be both exactly at the same location.
Physical property creates a non-volatile answer to the question "Who gets to build his house there?".

All working societies must address this problem (even societies in which money doesn't exist), hence "property" (which I don't claim is the only answer).

Texts, recordings, etc. are a completely different issue.

Original works might be rare, however, there's no scarcity in using them : you and your friend can both listen to your copy of a recording without interfering.
So there's need to answer "who gets to listen to this recording?", as there's no scarcity, and thus, no conflict.

The conflict lies between distributors, because the only scarcity that remains, when works can be copied for free, is in the exploitation.
For distributors, money is scarce, so question becomes: "who gets to make money from this recording?".

This is a very different question, which already presupposes the existence of money, and exploitation.

Ask HN: How do you make sure you have a successful onboarding for SWE
I recently resigned from my position as a (mid-level) software engineer at a product company and I will be joining another product company in the next two months. At the same time, at my current company we are expecting three other (mid to senior level) engineers to start before I leave and I will be helping them with the onboarding.

So I am wondering what are the best approaches to have a successful onboarding/start both from an employee and company perspective. Can you share your experience/tips/anything really!

Cheers
I think this is a pretty dishonest way of framing it. It's not just bitcoin, our entire system for secure communications across the internet (SSL/TLS etc.) is built on the assumption that P≠NP.

If someone were able to prove P=NP and come up with a practical exploit that made bitcoin valueless, it would also spell instant death for Ebay, Paypal, Amazon and a few hundred other small companies. Not to mention that all internet banking would have to be taken down very quickly.

In summary, it would be such a huge shock to the economies in all industrialised countries that it would make the 2012 financial crisis look like a minor inconvenience. Nobody would be concerned with "ah shit, my BTC is valueless", they'd be concerned with "ah shit, there's a run on the banks to get physical money and I will probably starve."

Some have posted and argued that these currencies do not have "real" value. I would argue that CrytoCurrencies do actually have inherent value. A few reasons:

1# CrytoCurrencies are free from the existing monopolies of the banking sector, money exchangers and politics. You can argue that those hegemonies should have control, but it is undeniable that there is tremendous value to many in that control weakening and being eliminated.

So you can see a source of inherent value.

#2 CrytoCurrencies are incredibly secure, can be extremely private and become ever more secure overtime because of the effect of mining, every watt burned acts to secure the network in an irreversible way

#3 Mining is the first application, mining secures the network and participants are rewarded. More generalized applications with things like solidity only increases the value of the network.

CrytoCurrencies are very much in an early phase, and not cleanly understood. There's a long way to go.
I worked for a BLDC company in their research division for a few years and there are many things that can still be improved. At the time we were working on reducing the size of motors without sacrificing torque or efficiency. This was particularly the case for industry motors where we developing a motor half the size of an older industry standard AC motor, but with the same power and 94% efficiency.

Size is where the majority of advancements for BLDC motors will come.

Just as a note; .dev is not yet an official TLD, it's on the status "proposed" which means that google is basically the highest priority on the waiting list.

.foo is delegated and thusly a full TLD, yes.

On the other hand, you should not be using .localhost if the target is not running on your loopback interface, resolving localhost to anything but loopback is considered harmful.

I find .test or .intranet to be more useful for such installations, they are either designated as "cannot be a TLD" or are very very unlikely to become a TLD, respectively.
> we can imagine a volunteer-run service that's just as good or better than Spotify -- but it's based on piracy. We could also imagine it reaching the pinnacle or convenience, so nothing else could be added except marginal improvements.

I can't.

The whole premise here is that volunteers can't reach every peak, that some endeavors require resources and those endeavors are how companies can be "better than free". Spotify has infrastructure, input streams, curation, and technical advances that I can't see any volunteer organization matching more than in slim part.
The most important advantages to ICO issuers are: lack of transparency, reporting requirements, no dilution, no oversight, the ability to 'print coins' as they please. In other words, absolute power over the speculators that buy them.

> I bought everything for a dual Xeon 2670v1 system (starting with Dell T5600 as base) from ebay and it came out to $1000 last year including $150 for 64GB of ECC RAM.

I also have a dual E5-2670v1 system, actually I am posting from it now. I found a single E5-2696v4 is going to be 40-50% faster than the dual E5-2670v1, dual 2696v4 almost triples the CPU performance for my workload. this has been confirmed by both cinebench score and benchmark results of an in-house application I developed. RAM bandwidth is not going to be a big jump.

> Dual E5-2696v4 seems like the current sweet spot for DIY.

Dual E5-2696v3 with some firmware/bios hack to push all cores running at higher speed is probably more $ efficient. You can get a faster system that is $500 cheaper. ;)

"Most ICOs are financing developer salaries."

If they are underwritten by VC's you can be assured that the terms heavily favour them, and the immediate value is going into their pockets.

I believe the point is that the bytecode 'knows' the context the value will be delivered to, which is the interesting thing that separates this from most other languages. From the README:

This is somewhat interesting. You can't use frames to differentiate between puts [schro] and schro, as they're both in the same frame. In fact, in the general case for a programming language, this is impossible - it would depend on using an oracle to predict what's going to happen to the value you return.

Happily, in Tcl we can cheat! There are three vital points - 1. Tcl compiles lines passed into the repl to bytecode, 2. Tcl bytecode is a stack machine and 3. Tcl has a pointer to the current execution location in the bytecode (note that point 1 only became true in Tcl 8.6 (I believe) so this code won't work before then).
These are features that are useful only after you accept that the coins have some value. If they don't store any value - then there is no use in security, privacy etc.

But the point is that it is the same with all money - people don't want it for itself - but rather because they expect to exchange it for something that they'll want in the future.

> should not be using .localhost if the target is not running on your loopback interface, resolving localhost to anything but loopback is considered harmful.

I have heard this before, but not really seen any great arguments as to why. Sure, `localhost` should not be bound to anything other than loopback, but I don’t see the harm in remapping `whatever.localhost` to the IP address of the Vagrant box running on your local machine.

.test is an official IANA reserved special-use domain name that will never be delegated out. Use it. Problem solved.

I don't know why people thought they could start using random TLD's on their own, there was always the risk they could be delegated officially.

For my development needs, I try to either:

* Publish mDNS records to give myself extra `.local` names, or

If you can't do either of those, _please_ use `.test` as your test TLD, as it's explicitly set aside for that purpose so you know you're never going to collide with anyone.

"Music pirates forced the music industry to realize that they were charging too much for user-hostile formats. "

No, it's simply a matter of people being able to take something for free and not pay for it.

'Any cost' is too much if someone can grab it for free.

The format was never the issue in terms of price, given IP protections. But the 'new' format implied weak IP protections, ergo a new price point of zero.

The music industry is not winning back market share, they're just adapting to other forms of revenue - and it has nothing to do with a 'higher quality product' - at least not in terms of the file/audio formats themselves.

The ICANN Wiki specifically lists the .dev domain as proposed, not delegated. Which means they can also just kill it and Google won't have it.
If you really want to go down that rabbit holy: ".no-hsts" is still not taken, I believe so you can probably set it up as a private TLD in your hosts file.
You're right about DSLs; they're the greatest tool for tasks that require a formal spec.

The thing is, not all tasks that users engage with need a formal sspecification. For those, the ability to iterate and refine quickly is more valuable than having a precise description of every machine behaviour; I'm thing of things like page structure on Wikipedia (optional, and done with simple text markup); or the structure of documents in outlets like OneNote or Evernote, or attributes in Excel tables, which are all easy to re-arrange on the fly without needing a data schema.

All my examples refer to data structure. What's missing is that kind of lightweight, optional structure for behaviour. All current software, except debuggers and unit tests, expect a fully defined program to be defined before execution.

Power users need a top level loop that could execute partially specified functions over any DSL, prompting user input for the parts of the procedure not yet specified, and the capability to expand the DSLs themselves. There's nothing in the status quo like that, although environments like Hypertalk, Squeak and Excel are close, yet limited to a single DSL each.

I noticed this doesn't run on my iPhone (SE), because XOR is unsupported in GLES 2.0, so I hacked the shader up a bit to be compatible. (and because I'd never had the opportunity to implement XOR using integer arithmetic)

For whatever reason, I could not get my hacked ShaderToy version to work on my phone (possibly a Shadertoy uniform bug?), even though it compiled in the iPhone's browser without issue, and even though it works just fine on my laptop. A slightly modified version of my hacked shader works as expected on my phone in the Book of Shaders editor. I had to "guess" at a reasonable iFrame value by dividing u_time by 60.0, and since the BoS editor doesn't support "resetting time" without reloading, I made it "loop" with a hardcoded loop time of 9 seconds.

The problem is that while the loopback addresses can be mapped as a secure context, even without HTTPS, .localhost. cannot since it might not be a loopback context.

You can literally use anything else to map to your vagrant box including "whatever.i-dont-care" and "whatever.whatever".

Remapping .localhost. destroys the implicit assumption of many developers that a .localhost. means loopback and rightfully the above draft proposes to force any resolve to either fail or resolve to loopback.
