See... I'm a native English speaker, and while a lot of things would be easier if we all spoke the same language, I think the world would be a poorer place because of it. There's so much more to language than just the words - it seems to alter the way you think too.

My partner is Dutch, and I love that there are words like "papegaaiduiker" the word for puffin. Translates as "parrot diver". I think it'd be totally sad if things like that died out. I suspect if our mythical system existed, it would quickly make English the only language about.

The PROTECT Act specifically had provisions against even drawings of any kind, however those parts to my knowledge were ruled unconstitutional. On the other hand, there are various state laws against the material; I don't have a better source than Wikipedia at the moment, but:

>Currently, such depictions are in a legal grey area due to parts of the PROTECT Act being ruled unconstitutional on a federal level; however, laws regulating lolicon and shotacon differs between states; several states have laws that explicitly prohibit cartoon pornography and similar depictions (such as video games in the state of New Jersey), while others usually have only vague laws on such content; in some states, such as California, such depictions specifically do not fall under state child pornography laws,[70] while the state of Utah explicitly bans it.[71]

Similarly, regulated drug dens (like regulated brothels) are a perfectly tennable idea. There are middle ground solutions between "ban everything!" and "sell it everywhere!"

It's surprisingly hard to OD with a clean supply, measured dosing, and emergency services on site. I don't think that clean, supervised drug use is actually any more dangerous than say... skydiving or bungee-jumping.

(It's actually hard to fatally OD with just one vaguely sober person an nasal naloxone, but that's more specific to opiates.)
> Why wouldn't the employer pay wages in the layer 2 system to begin with?

(Author here)

Very few employers pay wages denominated in bitcoins. If you're lucky enough that an employer is willing to pay a part of your wage within a layer 2-system, you're right. For all the people who receive their wages in national currency (of whichever country they live in), they have to go via the blockchain, and thus run into this limit.

Also, it seems to me that, if layer 2 protocols want to solve Bitcoin scalability in order to increase adoption, it doesn't make sense for it to depend on everyone having adopted Bitcoin already (which, I would argue, would be the case if most people received their wages as bitcoins).
Curiously, they left out the 8088, the processor chosen by IBM to be used in the IBM PC. It was designed in Israel having the 16-bit instruction architecture of the 8086, but with an 8-bit data bus, thus being able to use the cheaper, established chips used by the 8080. This effectively gave IBM an 16-bit machine to compete against Apple II 8-bit 6502 but at prices more consistent with an 8-bit processor.
This is an interesting point.

I was born in East Europe "behind the iron curtain", but lived in the west for a long time. And then East Asia for even longer. There are huge differences in how people perceive "civilization" and how "trapped" they feel vs actually are.

The west with its rigorous rules, both explicit and implicit. Regulation of every facet of your life, to a degree you don't realize (it's so natural! building permissions! driving permissions! marriage permissions! breath the air permissions! otherwise the world collapses!) until you've lived somewhere else.

South East Asia with its reckless freedom, or downright anarchy (Thailand). The social pressure is applied more on the family level. There are few explicit regulations, and even where they do exist, you're half expected to ignore them.

All of this is changing of course. As Gibson said, "The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed". There is no doubt in which direction the civilization is moving. Individual human ingenuity is an outstanding achievement, but isn't evolution always oh-so-squinting toward larger, more integrated, more efficient structures? The game of entropy.

The naive integration attempts in the 20th century didn't work out so well, but the pressure is building again. Maybe this time.

It's also justified if you're doing a side project mostly for fun and you like writing assembly.

>This opioid epidemic has made me question my position on legalization of drugs.

You know what? I am too. If you spoke to me years ago, I'd say much of the danger from opiates comes from not knowing what dose you're taking. Much of the crime comes from the price (due to it being black market). Much of the crime comes from addicts who can't afford their fix (due to the price) or rival dealer (who can't settle disputes in the courts).

Now I think maybe a decriminalization for hard drugs would be better. Purchasing / possessing is not criminalized (or subject to a small fine, like smoking a joint in public is treated in weed-legal states.

There have also been a number of stories recently about workforce capacity losses and hiring challenges; this places the problem more squarely in the domain of businesses which may have deeper pockets than the government. It is my prediction that before long we'll see lawmakers announcing new public-private initiatives sponsored by large companies to combat the opioid crisis at a community level. I think we're on the leading side of this trend, as government initiatives on the health industry level are just getting rolling, https://www.nih.gov/opioid-crisis

(Author here)

They can, but how large a part of the world's work force do you think is able to get their employer to pay out their wage within a Bitcoin layer 2 system? If layer 2 systems only support people who receive their wages within that layer 2 system already, how useful is it really at increasing the adoption of Bitcoin?

Also, as far as I can see, it would require us to redefine what a "bitcoin" actually is. Right now, it constitutes something in the Bitcoin blockchain, whereas some proponents of layer 2 protocols seem to wish that we redefine it to include unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions. I'm not saying this can't become the case, at some point, but right now no one considers the holder of an unconfirmed Bitcoin transaction to be in possession of bitcoins. So, at one level or another, something needs to change.

First of, the article doesn't say much or anything about weight and health.
Second, there is a simple and easy to understand solution to your overweight problem: If you take in only the amount of calories, you use, you can't get fat. I'm not even sure what your overweight/previous overweight (i assume it because you are able to loss 180lbs) has to do with lipid hypothesis.

There is not even an german article available for lipid hypothesis. What is a doctor telling you when he/she beliefs in this hypothesis?

Of course I can only speak from personal experience. But in my experience, long personal e-mail (several paragraphs) from friends to catch up used to be relatively common, and now they've all but disappeared (I don't think I've gotten any in the past couple of years). Likewise, long chats of the old AIM/MSN variety - spend an hour or two chatting with a friend sharing ideas and news with them - seems much rarer than before (where it wasn't uncommon to have them every few days).

I depends on what is "edible stuff" to you. Carrots, meat, cabage, fish, etc. have no added sugar in them. Why not simply cook your food, like most people in the world do?

From what I read here and there, Americans have completely lost foot with food, for them having a meal means to take some boxed thing out of the fridge and put it in the microwave owen for 10 mn. This is /not/ a normal meal, it's a lazy way to get one's belly filled. The normal meal for normal people is prepared at home from raw ingredients and some spices.
As extra info, COM became central after Longhorn's failure.

Many of the .NET APIs became COM based ones on Vista, with plain C Win32 ones being less and less common until we got WinRT, as the sibling comment points out.

I'm not sure about peak power at this point but it's a 12kw system. Peak power can really only be determined when the system is on site. There are so many factors that come into play.
There is a simpler explaination to this: If you spend a few hours doing some exercise (changing cloth, showering, going to the sport area) you are not sitting alone, as usual in front of a display or in your couche. It distracts your mind from your negative thoughts. Also beeing able to walk normally and without pain, going up stairs etc. is a good and normal feeling. When you get older and those basic things stop working, that really sucks. Or being overweight when 'normal' things become tedious.

If opioids were sold for recreational purposes, companies would compete to invent an opioid that you simply can't OD on, or it's very difficult to OD on. Maybe, that version could be the legalized version and every other version banned. Other than the risk of overdose, does opioid use generate any more health problems than say alcohol use?

At one level agile is a set of aspirations, akin to "do the right thing."

It's not a specific description of right things.

Therefore, it's almost impossible to say that a project is really agile, or just taking on the trappings of agile without "really" understanding it. What usually happens is that the successful ones are called agile, and those that failed aren't.

This is the No True Scotsman fallacy.

While dated, I still recommend "Rapid Development" as a great source for describing the variety of development practices that you might use.
Critical rationalism
I've used Loopback for a while as well. IMO, TS is a welcome change, I'd be happy to write APIs in it and I'd prefer it to untyped libraries.

It's hard to understate how nice it is to have your editor autocomplete functions, argument order, object shape, etc. It's a real productivity booster, gets you sanity checking out of the gate and makes the framework discoverable. This is a good decision. I can't make any cogent argument against it, aside from dependency bloat.
But that is neither travel nor communication.
"Filthy Rich Client" only shows how to do it, but it's still much, much harder than in QML (even Qt Widgets supported CSS styling) and WPF. I would say by a factor of at least 5 regarding QML and slightly less for WPF.
Can you name another very popular and very good looking Swing application?

Even if you can, you can count them on one hand. Swing was a massive failure, and rightfully so, because Swing/JavaFX apps look, and more importantly, feel, like a broken mess.

In contrast, SWT/JFace apps look a lot more native and feel extremely snappy. Apps build on the Eclipse RCP are in general pretty decent looking and they enable all the native controls and functionalities of the host platform.

Hi HN! I started FormAPI because I've been living in Southeast Asia for the last few years, and I've had to fill in a lot of visa application and extension forms. I want to build a service where you can fill in visa forms online, so I built FormAPI as the first step towards that project.

I also used to work at Gusto (a payroll company), and we had to fill out a lot of tax forms, which took a lot of work. I know this is something that many financial and legal startups have to do, so hopefully FormAPI can make this process a lot easier.

Social media is primarily intended for talking to friends and family. As others have pointed out in this thread, the reality for most people is closer to mindless browsing and addiction. That's because the systems are designed to 'hook' people that way. I'm not suggesting in any way that social media, shopping etc are bad (I use them all the time) but as the Internet is literally at our fingertips now, I do think that we need to be more cautious of unintended consequences, for individuals (particularly vulnerable ones like children) and for society as a whole. We're already seeing some of them today.

So the question to ask now is, regardless if you're solutionist/ Luddite/ neutral/ etc, how do we tackle this? Do we need to tone down some of the 'hook' features? Do we need to totally discourage unethical tactics like dark patterns? What can we do to educate/push people towards a healthier Internet diet, to have enough will to protect themselves from being psychologically hacked? This is an entirely new design philosophy, maybe not so good for big tech corps, but can potentially push the Internet to the next level.
