Well what else would you expect than that it's a game? After all, you get a shiny metal trophy at the end if you keep winning, and you'll keep getting more and bigger trophies after that if you can keep it up.

The idea of truth-seeking is laughable. You are required to switch sides each time.

Or as to the feeling that nothing feels fully resolved. It seems like that should be expected when the opponents are well-matched; rather than, say, a runaway victory resolved in favor of one side? Even then, I don't think any sports spectator would want a team to actually give up partway through and concede rather than continue.
> He states very clearly that he washes and reuses them.

No, he very clearly does not state that he washes or reuses them. Here is the clothing section, in full:

---
I enjoy doing laundry about as much as doing dishes. I get my clothing custom made in China for prices you would not believe and have new ones regularly shipped to me. Shipping is a problem. I wish container ships had nuclear engines but it’s still much more efficient and convenient than retail. Thanks to synthetic fabrics it takes less water to make my clothes than it would to wash them, and I donate my used garments.

It bothers me immensely that all clothing is hand made. Automation is woefully absent from the textile industry, but I don’t think it always will be. For now a few new t shirts and jeans per month is not very offensive. I certainly buy less clothing overall than a typical consumer. Synthetic fabrics are easy to recycle and I believe will soon be made with biofuels. Still, this area needs some work.
---

The only reference to washing them is the water savings of buying new over what it would take to wash them; now, he also says that he buys "a few new jeans and t-shirts each month" and "less clothing than the typical consumer". Now, those descriptions appear to conflict, and either one of them seems to suggest enough reuse that many people would assume he must be washing them a few times -- going with the first (which is the one least indicative of reusing clothes a lot), and assuming "a few" is not more than 5 of each, he'd have to be wearing each at least ~6 times, which seems a lot without washing. But he doesn't say he is washing, that's just an implication that is easy, though not necessarily correct, to read into his statement.
Designers and Developers: Why Can’t We Get Along? (2012)
Life involves choices, most of the reason I dislike the 'no brogrammer/ninja/rockstar/competent people' culture is because its so wishy-washy about what it actually does and does not like.

I'd rather know that my talents aren't welcome than waste time in meetings explaining why their feels don't make the code work. There are plenty of companies that want people who can manage to code something that works without involving 16 other people.

There are plenty of people who want to work in that environment and it helps me filter out the places I don't want to work by knowing they don't want individual contributors.
That isn't due to the lack of pastry chefs. At least it shouldn't be if they have access to refrigeration.
> I really hope I get to live long enough to see society have to tackle the "oh fuck, currency as a concept is useless" problem, aka the steps leading up to post-scarcity.

When people talk about "post-scarcity", they are talking about the basic necessities of life becoming so cheap they are basically free. But, even in such a "post-scarcity" world, we will always still have finite resources, and human aspirations will always exceed those finite resources, and so we will always need some mechanism to arbitrate access. Either we use market-based mechanisms (which implies the existence of currencies), or else we turn to socialist-style central planning, in which the government gets to decide who has their aspirations fulfilled and who misses out.

Suppose a billion people all want to live in Venice. Sorry, just can't be done, there isn't enough room, it would totally destroy the city if we tried, we'll have to say "No" to some of them. You might say "we'll just give them a simulated Venice which is indistinguishable from the real thing" – but as long as they know it is not the real thing, they'll want the real thing instead. "Authenticity" is one of those things that humans desire.

> if I link to an image, javascript file, or even an iframe to ycombinator.com, your browser will make a request to ycombinator.com most likely without you knowing.

True, which is why many people (including me) use something like umatrix with every 3rd party request disabled unless whitelisted. This should be the default to be honest.

> if ycombinator.com logs information on that request, is that okay?

You are willingly letting your traffic be logged by the original site that you connected to. Does it matter if another party (usually trusted by the first party) gets the logs as well?

> and your browser decides to prefetch the contents of that link?

Change browser or configure it properly. Who even thought that prefetching is a good idea?

Anyway, the one at fault at this specific case is your browser (and maybe you, considering how you selected to use that browser or didn't bother configuring it).
When I worked customer support, I didn't even care how big or small a problem was. It was all about the attitude of the person I was helping. I'd much prefer someone with a complex or difficult issue that had a respectful attitude than someone that had a simple problem but tried to force hell upon me while I tried to help.
I am not sure exactly what gender identity rule I have broken for asking my original question but I find it pretty interesting whether those who identify as a girl also are girls biologically but identify as boys or whether they are biologically born boys.

The reasons I asked was because it was claimed that many of those who use it identify as boys.

Maybe I am alone in thinking this is an important distinction but none the less I find it pretty relevant to what to make out of it in the grander scheme of this discussion.
Sure. Call it a hypothesis. But many people are trying to shut down the experiments before they happen.
Actually I know someone who went out of business doing this! Jokes aside though, you are correct(my friend went out because he made he location so popular the owner grippled his rent and sold it to someone else).
Your absolutely right. and no one realizes the enormity of the tragedy. With people traveling 10x longer commute distances the cost to the environment is also 10x as much as well!! Traffic on the highway gets clogged, causing people to spend even more time on their commute. So, CA laws that obstruct building like CEQA (an environmental protection law) are doing more to harm the environment than help it. Meanwhile, the next generation is being driven out of the bay area and eventually out of CA. And that's just the tip of the ice berg.

All the solutions proposed by politicians (affordable housing, regulation) only serve to make the problem worse. The answer is, we need: massive increase in housing supply or a decrease in the # of employers/jobs in this area.

I'm sure there's countless VCs and founders that want to solve this Housing/Transportation problems ~ potentially a multi-trillion dollar opportunity. But, it's absolutely unassailable: the barriers to entry are so extreme, and the amount of government legislation and politics in the way is so insurmountable, I don't even know of a single company or startup that's legitimately working on this problem. It's a man made problem, that will require a man-made solution. It'll take an army of politicians to make this happen, perhaps a startup filled with politicians, not engineers.

I support either some kind of Basic Income, or Negative Income tax.

I think that is what we "do about those people"

I completely agree it will be a good day where you do not have people burning out their bodies in 40 years from working on the factory line then having to work another 25 years in pain because they can not afford to retire due to the low pay...

The problem is, today we just simply tell these people "get a job you loser" and assume anyone that can find said job is simply too lazy to work

With no basic income, and very limited welfare we have a massive problem today, that will grow exponentially in the coming decades unless we do something like Basic Income

This is why I had to put the devil's advocate part in my original comment because of this accusation. Obviously, I do not agree with purposely creating a workplace that alienates women but it would take me much editing/censorship and thought than I'm willing to give to make sure I don't write something in a way that you could misconstrue my words.

I'm simply pointing out that what I am for is being who we are as individuals. Everyone. If you exclude yourself because of the way I write my job posting, then we probably wouldn't work well together. If I over edit my job posting and it doesn't reflect the way I actually communicate on a day to day basis; guess what, we probably wouldn't work well together either. Why? Because I'm not going to edit my communication style, I'm going to be who I am.

If I'm the author of the original job posting... You're coming from the stance of assuming that I need to be edited. My communication style is horrible and exclusive. None of those words were offensive, obviously exclusive, etc[1]. So, I don't think I do need editing. I'm not an asshole, I work well with women and people of all types, thus I am not going to change. However your view assumes because I wrote my job posting that way that I am a women alienating asshole that does not value inclusion.

I want people that can work together and not let minor communication issues get in the way of their productivity or happiness. We should be teaching people how to read a job posting and infer that they could be a fit and apply. Applying is far away from accepting the job, if you sense any red flags you will have an opportunity to explore them. Don't get held up by the job posting.

"We know from experience that the largest companies have the resources to do what is necessary to promote cybersecurity while protecting public safety. A major hardware provider, for example, reportedly maintains private keys that it can use to sign software updates for each of its devices. That would present a huge potential security problem, if those keys were to leak. But they do not leak, because the company knows how to protect what is important." (Quote from Rod Rosenstein in the article).

This kind of says it all, doesn't it? It's not a matter of if the keys from these large companies are exposed, just a matter of when, similar to what happened to Piriform earlier this year. If all such companies are to keep master keys which can decrypt communication going through their software they are likely to be an even bigger target.

According to Amnesty 119 out of 160 governments had restrictions on freedom of expression in 2014. I can think of several that are likely to be interested in being able to read whatever messages are being sent in order to target dissidents. Journalists are in many cases depending on privacy and security to be able to do their job. At the moment the US is ranked at 43 out of 180 for freedom of the press by Reporters without Borders; if Rosenstein gets his wish, what is the likelyhood that journalists will be among the first to be targeted?

There can be no middle road or "responsible encryption" as they describe it. The data is either encrypted with the recipient being the only one with the means to decrypt it, or it's not encrypted at all.
Oh got it, sorry. Yeah, I can see reasons, but they should definitely split the authorization in 2 parts if you want to also allow access to private repos.

Nasdaq CEO Friedman Says Exchange Is Keeping ICOs at Arm's Length
Sort of? They do have a simpler core off to the side for SoC management on their newer 64bit design.

You're going to be hard pressed to find a moderately complex SoC without something like that. At a bare minimum, reset and power state sequencing is complex enough to offload to a microcontroller style core these days. The iMX6 is the biggest, most reent SoC I an think of without that.
You send display lists to it over IPC, and it's easy enough to generate those from C++. It has a well defined API boundary, which makes it easy to use.

This is in stark contrast to the style engine in Servo which relies on memory representation to be fast. So integrating it requires very tight coupling of data structures.
I do agree with you, I just want to point out that it is a lot more ficle than tech. One bad service can ruin your reputation. No one forgets a bad meal, and a whole table with bad meals is a death knell
Professional programmers often scoff at these kinds of tools, a lot of time for good reason. However I believe that with the right approach such a system could also speed development for a lot of serious and complex development efforts.

It would have to use standard pro level libraries and tools underneath, with the easy UI being essentially and abstraction over of subset of the functionality. This would allow it to retain great usability, but still with no limitations for advanced users.

Of course this hasn’t really happened yet, but I think it’s because the right balance, architecture, and respect for both user experiences has not been applied. It would also involve leading and tightening some standards to allow things to work together more consistently. Remember how things were before package managers? Why couldn’t there be a better way to standardize scaffolding operations and configuration for example?

I realize a lot of this seems to be pulling in two different directions, but so many of the pieces already exist, and so much of pro effort is wasted on grunt work tasks like getting things glued together that should be easier.

>>> So, the 75% of America that is 'Ethnically European' is already very varied

Maybe genetically (although even that is debatable). But after a few generations you kind of iron out the differences between, say, a German - American and a Polish - American.

The differences between Germans and Polish are much larger. They speak German and Polish for instance vs just English.

> But many customers would balk at having to order at a kiosk, so McDonalds will still hire humans.

A lot of locations around me have both kiosks and staffed registers.

I used the kiosk once and thought it was annoying to work through. If you have a simple order like "A medium #3", then its an order of magnitude faster to order through a person. On the other hand, if you like to customize your burger, or order a several things a la carte, the kiosk might be better depending on the competence of the human at the cash register.

(Of course, whether or not your customized burger or list of a la carte items gets made correctly by the kitchen staff is an entirely different conversation...)
yeah.... but it got me thinking, if you wanted to target HN people, who could quite likely have hugely intresting things in their private repositories.... create a home page like the one shown, label it with tech crunch / etc, make it look enticing, then have a login page like that ask for access to private repos, then get a bunch of HN accounts, give postive comments, and see what you can harvest :)

Agree with most of your post except: as long as they know it is not the real thing, they'll want the real thing instead.

The way both video gaming and social media have exploded as cultural forces makes me think inauthenticity won't be a problem for the majority at some point. Many people already seem more than happy to judge themselves by their friend counts, Instagram likes, and go on voyages and have experiences online rather than meet up in real life.

I personally think simulated Venice could well be better than the real thing for most, as long as the real world remains relatively expensive, dangerous, and uncomfortable (compared to sitting in your house). There will always be people who prefer real experiences, but I think that group will continue to shrink.
I'm not against programs to help re-integration at all - I think those are good.

But I still think that people should receive sentences that are commensurate with justice - not just recidivism.

Give people the sentences they deserve, and work on social integration towards the end of their term and after their release.

I know only about Russian prisons from a documentary I saw (so very little) - and they seem crazy hard-core - a little too rough - also dominated by gangs, which is bad. 'Gang culture' in prison is bad thing, so is violence - I think having people in those types of conditions is 'cruel and unusual' punishment.

I think the regular notion of prison is reasonable: i.e. not 'club med' but also not 'gang-land/rape-land'. And social programs are fine I think.

I believe SNCF was also know for loosing freight a few years ago. Might have improved these days since I assume most cars must have some sort of GPS. Timing was another problem since freight had to yield priority to passenger traffic, which is pretty dominant in France.

I liked this read. I heavily subscribe to the "only suckers pay full price" philosophy. Everyone is out to get you, and they profit by relying on most people's trusting, docile, harmony-seeking nature. Your cable bill is $0.01 more than last month? Call up and fight it--threaten to drop your subscription. Medical bill you don't understand or credit card charge you don't remember? Call them up and dispute it. Speeding ticket? Fight it in court. Find a small scratch on a piece of furniture you just bought? Threaten to dump it back in the store's lobby unless you get a discount. And never, ever buy a new car! Negotiate everything, even your groceries. You work too hard for your money in order to just give "them" what they want without a fight.
