Democrats have long had plans for retraining programs for those affected by economic change. On most trade agreements, Democrats are the ones pushing for retraining programs for those who's jobs would be displaced by the agreement. Hell, Secretary Clinton had a whole plan written up on retraining programs for those in economically distressed areas. They actually had ideas and plans beyond "Let's bring back coal."
It depends on your definition of dangerous.

And eliminating false positives in warnings is hugely important. Too many important warnings (more important than this one) are ignored today because people get desensitized as a result of so many false positives. Let's not add more for trivial issues like this please.
I can see believing that if you're only familiar with Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal. You might find it surprising to hear that there are many other vibrant urban areas in Canada that have jobs without the absurd housing costs.

It's not just censorship, China is now openly engaged in economic warfare of foreign companies within China, closing up the Chinese economy, and preventing foreign companies from competing fairly.

"The Chinese government is blocking South Korean companies from leaving China while prohibiting assets from being taken out of China without any standards. In addition, Lotte and other large South Korean corporations are also having difficulty in their withdrawal process as the Chinese government demands huge compensation from South Korean companies restructuring their human resources management structures...

South Korean manufacturers have been not allowed to bring production facilities back to South Korea. The Chinese government has banned South Korean manufacturers from transporting simple production machines to South Korea from China while designating them as "equipment that adversely affects the Chinese economy."

I wasn't thinking about the debates. I was thinking about all the money spent on campaign advertisements - on posters, phone calls, radio ads, TV ads, Internet ads, and so on, and so on. All that does is cancel out similar efforts from other candidates.
Woah! Thanks for this.
The racism that the author sees probably comes from the fact that the Klingons are even darker skinned, not like the civilized and lighter skinned people of The Federation. This was a very common trope during much of Victorian history, leading to roles such as the "savage assistant", the "learned black apprentice", etc. While the civilized colored folks from the white civilization could be reasoned with and would even sacrifice for their master, those even darker dark folk would just attack sight as they were incapable of reason. I haven't seen the show so I'm going off of the article and what I've seen the depictions of the Klingons as, and can't really offer more insight than the translation I've given.
An in-depth review was posted here on HackerNews. It's not considered ready for consumers yet, and was announced for developers to try it out.
Indeed. And interestingly I believe naltrexone is sometimes used in the same way for eating disorders.
SUSE Linux turns 25: From business distro leader to cloud power
Oh hey! We're one of the companies on this list :)

We went through IK12 (now a part of YC, same people) and it was the single best decision we ever made for Kodable. Education companies have some pretty unique problems, and it is almost guaranteed that the partners will have seen it before, know how to handle it, or at least be able to connect you with someone that has. At this point I think that YC/IK12 companies have a presence in pretty much every school in the USA and most countries around the world, so the network of edtech startups you get access to is just incredible.

Edtech startups can be really hard, but this is one of the few things you can do that will actually make it just a little bit easier. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out - Jon at Kodable dot com

This is really scary to think about when you're days or weeks away from launching an MVP.

I'm building a service for developers. I really want to polish the design and get the UX perfect, and have really good documentation and client libraries for various languages. But I think I can launch without those.

I really just need to record a screencast and get a demo online. But wow, the struggle is real. I really don't want to launch it yet.
And China's rulers will still be in power.

I wonder. When the inevitable downturn comes the population won't have the option of voting out the current government. They may well turn to other means.
Personally I don’t care, but got interoperability problems a couple of times.

One has to be very careful when they share a git repository between case-sensitive and case-insensitive OSes
Given how much special effects exist in B-level shows like The Flash, I think CG has made it much much cheaper. It also removes a lot of the need for expensive practical effects -- almost all fire/explosions on television is CG now.
> Would you tell me why you find it useful?

I think you answered this yourself:

> If main.h and Main.h are truly different, I find it more useful to make the file name more descriptive than just changing letters.

I truly doubt that most users - especially non-technical users - actually would do this.
Seems like the "lessons" you learned was to blame others for what the Chinese government did.

- Google being blocked in China is out of their control regardless of their "tentacles". It's well know, try another CDN.

- As already mentioned, don't use a CDN for the purpose CDNs exist. Thats really baffling to me.

Sorry, this post wasn't so productive but I'm really confused by OP.
But you are also blocking innovators.

When clicking on the facebook links in the comment section, several profiles look like fake ones. Do you know if Buzzfeed use this strategy to fake activity in the comment section? Or is it a pro/anti-trump fight strategy?
I don't think it'll be a contradiction for China to create a special city with more liberal values to attract liberal talent, or if China permits liberalism in a controlled context. Tech talent such as Andrew Ng already go to work in China knowing the political context surrounding China. I'm sure some HN people go to work in Dubai, which I'm sure has some contradictions to western cultural values.

I'm also not sure if the perceived ingredients for collective creativity are all that obvious or as critical as you seem to say. Perhaps competition is the most important ingredient, as opposed to freedom of political speech. And perhaps a well-educated aristocracy can nurture technological competition without also being afraid of it.
It is a problem space I am abundantly familiar with. I certainly feel your pain. The fact that I want to offer solutions for people with serious problems that keep them trapped in poverty helps contribute to my own lack of funds.

I do have ads on my websites. I also have a tip jar and Patreon. I don't make much money, but I make more than I used to.

So, I get that you probably feel like your problem is being dismissed. It isn't. I am right there in the trenches with you and telling you what I know from long, hard firsthand experience.

You haven't given any details, so I can't try to give specifics. I can only speak in generalities, because you are only speaking in generalities.

I may not be the best person to talk to about how to make money. I don't seem especially talented at that. But I may know a lot more than most people on HN about trying to solve problems that seem impossible to monetize, and I am making headway on monetizing them anyway, against long odds.
Also note that Metal has less CPU overhead than OpenGL. Beyond the compile times, you'll be more likely to run into CPU bottlenecks while running games/applications that are OpenGL based.
This has already been clarified; without sarcasm.
For the BSDs, incorrect or missing man pages are considered a serious bug.
Indeed. Some clinical studies are listed here - http://www.c3foundationeurope.org/clinical-trial-evidence/

Also note when researching - many people prescribe naltrexone to be taken every day along with abstinence, and infact when taken this way it's shown to be no better than a placebo. When taken as per The Sinclair Method it has been shown to be over 85% effective.
Protectionism for all.
"What have the Dems done to get the jobs back?"

They're not coming back.

And if you look, you'll see that Democrats did propose plans in the last election. But without the approval of Congress, there's not much that can be done.
VPNs stick out like a red flag in Wireshark. Instead of a variety of small packets going to ports 53, 80, 443, and the occasional 22 or 3389, coming from random 5-digit ports - all you see are big packets over port 500.
It may not be happening any more.
That's all cool and everything, but the registers are wrong... Not only are they 32-bit (eax vs. rax), but their order is wrong too - the first argument in x86-64 ABI is rdi, for example.
Every repugnant conclusion has always come coated in a veneer of rationality. No racist, sexist, islamophobe or any other kind of bigot has ever called themselves by these appellations or expressed their opinions without being able to bring in piles of dubious evidence to back up their opinions.

Let's take the example of the Men's Rights Movement discussed in the article. While there are of course many factions within the MRM, the very existence of something that arose specifically to counteract the rise of feminism is a slap in the face to the struggles brought forth by women. With the same veneer of rationality, its purpose is to drown out women's concerns by raising the voices of men to a raucous cry.

This is not to say that men do not experience problems, but the MRM is almost exclusively a reaction to feminism. It's an age-old divisionary tactic, of pitting an oppressed group against an even more oppressed group. The English American colonists considered the genocided Native Americans to be one of their biggest oppressors, the war-torn Germans took to blaming the Jews who have already been persecuted for centuries. It's easier to find a weaker target than to look for the deeper causes of oppression.

The problem with Damore is not that his stats are wrong, but their veneer of rationality. Disagreeing with his repugnant conclusions (such as, eliminating Google's diversity programmes), is not because we hate scientific discourse, but because his veneer of rationality is just that: a veneer. The causes and explanations are far more complicated than what he cites or could cite in the space of 11 pages, and in the meantime it's far better to err in the side of caution and offer an advantage to the underrepresented group.
Why would you use this over a logging framework?
I've seen a fair amount of this "\(\mathbf{W}\cdot\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{b}=\mathbf{y}\)" stuff on the web recently, and my eyes glaze over even harder than they do when confronted with traditional math notation. Is this intended to be a human-readable notation, which I could possibly go learn somewhere if I knew what it was called, or is this the result of failed javascript?
I don't get how China can have WTO "Market Economy" status. It's not just blocking western internet companies, also forced joint ventures and technology transfers don't sound much like "Market Economy" to me.... :-/

The 3rd and 4th boxes of liberty. As a reminder, the four boxes are:
1. Soap
2. Ballot
3. Jury
4. Ammo

If the first two aren't working, you take to the jury box, and when people are unjustly charged with crimes that are either misapplied laws or simply that which people deem to be unjust laws, they can find a defendant not guilty on any grounds they wish in the US. That's one of the more critical aspects of the courtroom that often goes overlooked. Jury nullification is rarely talked about but it's a crucial power of the people. Judges and law enforcement hate it because society can effectively nullify anything by refusal to return guilty verdicts. So even if someone is clearly guilty under the wording of a law but the jury determines it to be an unfair law or a law applied unfairly, they can find them not guilty. However, the reverse is not true. Guilty verdicts must be returned in accordance with the wording of the law and historical precedent, in conjunction with the guidance the judge provides.

In cases like this, though, things are more difficult because it's not just the charges that are levied, it's the entire way the government is conducting itself. That is much more difficult to solve is 1 and 2 don't work and why the 4th box is supposed to be used under only the most dire of circumstances.

Of course, I don't think the government is entirely to blame. People keep voting these scumbags back into office for some reason so apparently there are people out there who approve of what their representatives are doing. And yet, amazingly, everyone seems displeased at the results. It's fascinating, really. It's like everyone has this mentality of, "all these congresspeople are lying dirtbags...except for mine."
Thoughts on the future of math education (2016)
I interact daily with colleagues from China, and I think it's a lot more problematic to have work resources blocked than WhatsApp.

They cannot even do a simple search with Google. It's frustrating for me, I can only imaging how is for them. I'm even worried to raise the issue to not jeopardize their jobs.

Really sad.
The original reason for the Jamestown colony, for example, was the high price of wood fuel for making glass. Nobody would have funded such an expensive expedition for making glass otherwise.

Whaling originally was plentiful right off the coast of Massachusetts. These were depleted, and whalers had to go steadily farther out, then into the Pacific, then to the edges of the Pacific. These voyages got longer and longer, and more and more dangerous, and so price increases would have accompanied them.

> cheap enough

It's a tautology that people will use something that is "cheap enough" until there are cheaper alternatives.
I've been very pleased with the show as well and don't understand much of the criticism it's received. It's obviously still working out its footing but I've found it far better written than the first season of TNG.

Yes, I remember Bill gave a good speech about retraining workers, but without businesses in these towns to hire people, I don't see how it would do much for actual employment.

It's not only manufacturing that left, agriculture scaled so high that you need 1000+ acres to make it in most crops. 1000 acres costs millions of dollars, leaving even more people behind. I don't know your age, but there were a bunch of Farm Aid concerts in the 80s. Didn't seem to do much though.
Disagree. Coding is one of hundreds of skills that can lead to a good career, and coding is absolutely not for everyone.

Football/dance are extra-curriculars, I am all for coding being an option early on (high school?) but not anytime before then. If a kid shows an interest in coding, they'll find a way. And parents nowadays are more aware of it as a viable option

Even if this seems worth it anyway, a teacher "trained" in coding is not a programmer I would trust to teach my kids coding, and hiring CS majors would be monumentally too expensive. At the end of the day it's not practical.
Soil depletion is not going to be an abrupt change.
I'm not sure the drivers really have a good understanding of their cost base. I doubt very much that Uber covers the average cost per mile (though hopefully the marginal cost). Would be interesting to see a proper analysis.
If someone gets you a gift, and then invites you to their own wedding a year later, some non-insignificant percentage of the population will be offended if you don't get _them_ a gift.

Of course, gifts are terrible if you just don't really want more stuff in your life (I'm happy to take a pint...), and a massive exercise in value destruction, but that's beside the whole social indebtedness bit of it.

I'm really fun at Christmas.
> Why not work? After some time in divorce (immediately perhaps) you are supposed, as an adult, to support for yourself.

Let's say as a family you decided that the wife would be a stay at home wife to have and support children. Then fifteen years down the line you get divorced.

The wife gave up fifteen years of career and career advancement for the family. Alimony is a damn appropriate compensation for that sacrifice, since it's likely that as you start working you're going to be getting minimum wage (and your ex husband, presumably, had those fifteen years of career advancement).
Note the veneer of rationality in the above comment.

I still miss John Siracusa's annual Mac OS Ars Technica reviews, which were the go-to destination to understand the nitty gritty details of every new release. The last one he did was for 10.10 (Yosemite) in 2014. But to his credit Andrew Cunningham has done a great job picking up the reins.

>They're not coming back.

So should we continue to just tell a good chunk of the country to go to hell? What plans would the Dems enact if they sweep the 2020 election? I mean this is the most pressing issue for a huge voting block. Without a good plan, I don't think the Dems can take back the house or senate, much less the presidency. It's long over due, and the GOP don't have any good ideas either.

>And if you look, you'll see that Democrats did propose plans in the last election.

Like what?
I’m fairly sure that whatever they did was an accidental side effect of the surveillance they were doing and they stopped when they realized they were hurting people.
Ask HN: What technical problem has you stumped?
I know a few people who work at the Target HQ in Minneapolis and have heard stories in the past of executives being astounded by online shopping, especially the idea that people would do comparison shopping while in the store.

I look at Barnes & Noble as another company that is screwing the pooch by not doing a better job with Internet sales, and a better job integrating internet and meatspace (aka "click and mortar"). I do a lot of business with B&N but I almost never buy books from their online store. Why? Partly because their site sucks, looks & feels dated and klunky, lacks the selection of Amazon's site, and doesn't offer good recommendations like Amazon does.

And if I go into a B&N store and want to special order a book, I can get free shipping, if it goes to my home. But if I want them to ship it to the store so I can pick it up there, it costs extra. WTF? And if memory serves correctly, you can't return items bought online to a physical B&N store.

There's just so many ways that they are missing the boat and nobody seems to care.
Congrats! I remember watching your YC experience through Medium Series. The journey seems super exciting :).
> It makes sense, as a country you wouldn’t want US companies taking over your social media.

Not having to build your own Facebook (and WhatsApp, etc.) means that you can build something else that can (eventually) compete internationally.

China isn't being irrational here, but there is a tradeoff between growth and security.
Sometimes, yes, you'll need to write your own syscall wrappers. For example, there isn't a gettid (get thread ID) function in Glibc, but you can work around this by calling the syscall directly.

The other case where this is useful is if you're wanting to write userspace assembly without calling a C library. This may be especially useful when you're writing a compiler, or if you're trying to write small shellcodes for some reason.
The terms are often used specifically to end debate, by negating the opinions of the accused without having to address the content of what was said.

None of these issues will be solved until those who feel they are being demeaned find the strength to address their opposition with the dignity they demand for themselves.
Some were cheap. The TI 99/4a was almost being given away in the mid-80s. But I don't ever remember it being popular for accessing dial-up. Its Terminal Emulator implemented a proprietary protocol and was actually more popular for its text-to-speech capability.
As has been hinted at by other commenters, I think the big thing that's wrong with modern industrial agriculture (including some "organic" agriculture) is that it typically does not add carbon to the soil (via composted plant matter, manure, etc) and it also unnecessarily disturbs the soil structure, allowing the organic carbon compounds in the soil to become excessively exposed to the atmosphere where they'll break down or be eroded.

(No, I don't have specific sources for this, it's mostly a combination of what I've read from the Permaculture folks and personal observation in my own garden over the past 5 years.)
How does PA square this against (in e.g. a rented car) the alternative for many folks is putting the phone to the ear... seems like a stale law.

Not all cars/phones/media can do handsfree.
I agree that it's certainly possible to launch too early, especially if your product doesn't exist, or it's full of bugs and unusable.

But this is still good advice for me. I'm just about to launch a service, and I think I've already gone way beyond "MVP" status. I was even planning on doing a big redesign of the whole product, but now I've decided not to do that, because it works fine as it is.

I could easily keep working on this product for another 6 months before I was comfortable launching it, but now I think I'm going to set a deadline for early next week, and only work on the most important things.
You can do everything the common pattern way with timesyncd as well.

1) Install the package (it's probably part of the systemd package you already have)

2) Modify the configuration file if needed (/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf)

3) Enable the service (`systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd`; the same as any other service)

Sure, you can use timedatectl to enable it (which makes a D-Bus call to timedated, which then makes the same call that `systemctl enable --now` does). But you don't have to. It's a weird feature of timedated/timedatectl because they try to be the Swiss-army-knife of messing with time settings on the box.
See this page on extreme temperature electronics for a good discussion of what is available on the electronics side. The short answer is, there are discrete components that have been demonstrated to temperatures higher than Venus's 460C but little commercially available. In particular no integrated circuits. http://www.extremetemperatureelectronics.com/tutorial1.html
