There are many, many varied beliefs in Libertarianism - even within America and within the Libertarian Party. On the political compass, it is opposite authoritarianism. Taken to extremes, it is anarchy. It can have left or right components. It's quite a spectrum.

That said, the commons must be protected. The right to repair would qualify as the commons. At the same time, forcing companies to excessive standards isn't always the best answer. In a perfect world, we'd have perfect information and rational buyers. We don't have that.

As the other poster suggested, getting rid of the DMCA would be a good start. I'd say companies should not be allowed to actively prevent repair or modification, but doing so renders the warranty invalid.

I'm pretty far over in the left side. I'm probably best defined as a libertarian socialist, not too far from the social democrats of Europe.

Add a way to compensate for distortion from windscreens, facial recognition and access to the driver's license database, and you can check for those driving with an expired driver's license.

Correlate the car registration details with the driver ID and you have a way to find cars that are potentially stolen ( authorised drivers of the car would need to on a database )

Honestly, forget about rules. Just tell a story and let them guide it. You can occasionally throw in some d20 rolls if you want to introduce some risk of failure, and from there perhaps start build in some bonuses which let them customise their characters. But the main thing is just collaborative storytelling (and bad jokes and accents) and the best role-playing sessions I've ever had have involved no dice rolls at all.

I would love to see a company whose business model is making generic and standard consumer electronics parts that are small and powerful, with options to boot. I would love it if I could build & maintain my own mobile computer (AKA smartphone) just as I would build my own PC. Since taking my kindle voyage apart, I realize that this must be very doable. That thing is way less sophisticated than a raspberry pi, it just happens to be a form factor that I like to hold.

From the Wikipedia page:

> Consequently, the deflection is typically limited to tens of milliradians.

This is the big drawback with AOMs. They're very precise, but the angle through which they steer beams is small. You would need hundreds of scanners to scan a full circle under the best conditions.

AOMs are interesting though in that they provide a way to modulate the frequency of the light they deflect. This is how I've seen them used before: as a very precise way to introduce small frequency shifts into a laser beam for physics research.
I wish I could install whatever I want on my phone without jailbreaking it. Let us have an option hidden in the settings (just like developer options) so we can install anything we want without permission or without the app expiring in a few days.

I'm also a musician and can hear the difference between plenty of blind tests but I'm going to call bullshit on your claims. There have been several tests done like this and some of the most prominent musicians and engineers couldn't tell the difference. Neil Young and his engineer couldn't even tell the difference when bloggers trolled them with their own Pono format files. You may very well be one of the 0.00001% of people that can tell the difference but I highly doubt it.

Perhaps I am not very well read on the subject. My argument was rooted in the attitude I came across when this story was trending (linked at the end of this comment). This research might have been disproved later on, I never followed up on the story. What I was referring to was the readiness with which some were willing to stop pursuing this sort of trial.

My intent wasn't to strawman - if this is in fact non-existent then I concede that point.

People often say this, but I'm not yet convinced it has a fully or even partially physiologic basis.

One way to do an experiment would be to fast someone for 48h (about when you completely run out of glycogen, and ketones start to ramp up from fat catabolism), and while fasting, infuse glucose, blinded, into them. I wonder whether people could tell whether they are getting IV glucose or IV saline, just by how they feel. Maybe someone already did this experiment.
For myself and a number of friends, Community's D&D episodes were the cause. But the episodes, like Stranger Things, were probably a symptom of larger trends.
I thought the AirPods sounded like ass when I first started using them but after 2 weeks of using them every day for hours on end, they've really broken in and they have great range and separation. They don't have a great seal but I don't consider that a negative for what I use them for.

I'm still hoping for a really good online platform for D&D. My play group has aged, sprogged, and struggles for a regular evening to play. We've used forum-based stuff in the past, which has actually led to some really good role-play heaving campaigns, but it's no good for real-time encounters or the beer & pizza fuelled camaraderie that really makes D&D great.
Well said. They're the only reason that I actually think a wireless future is possible without a headphone jack.

Oh wow! My first code I ever wrote was on ZX Spectrum computer. What a jog down the memory lane to those good ol' days. Peek Poke GoTo GoSub Return. Took a stab at Z80 Assembly at that time but ended up playing Saboteur video game on ZX Spectrum+

My friend and I used to "transfer" video games across the city between our Sinclair Spectrums by plugging cassette players to the analog phone lines and then feeding the output directly to the computer data input/output jacks on the other end. We did the same with the programs and data we wrote to solve math problems. And this was in the early/mid 80's where we "invented" our own Internet/BBS system as a necessity.

Ok, just random thoughts. Maybe irrelevant to the post but just felt compelled to share.
f2f is important greed and there is problem flying someone over 4 times over in year. Heck even more. It's the idea that it has to be the default. I work remotely but when we brainstorm an idea we like to fly to a site and hang around there for a week, white-boarding and socializing afterwards.

Timezones make communications harder as well, etc.

However I'll take these downsides vs the upsides.
The starter set is pretty good to get you up and going with DMing.

The best bit of advice I can give is to let the kids be creative and don't be too fussed about the rules. It's like improv - any idea is a gift - even if it's an outlandish idea, let them do it, make up some difficulty score and when the dice come up with a failure, try to be as creative and funny as possible in describing the outcome.

Alternativeto is great. _Siftery_Product_Substitutes_ is an attempt to analyze the migration of one product to another, across companies to begin with, and later across several other segments and industries. Where we don't have any switch data, we are only showing vanilla alternatives (sorted by NPS).

This is merely v1 and we intend to iterate quickly on this dataset and provide more intelligence/decision support for buyers when they are looking for alternatives to switch to for a specific product or across a category.
Depends on the individual person, when they measure, and how they measure.

First, you're not going to get really accurate measurements unless you've calibrated your meter against a set of venous-based lab blood draw results, across bands of glucose levels. Second, unless someone describes that they are taking their measurements on the same time of day each day, under the same contextual conditions, then it's tough to separate out the measurements independent of the context.

Example: someone says they take a measurement at 11 am every day. Sounds good, except if they don't reveal they drink a Starbucks sugar-coffee a couple hours earlier on their way into work, then it gives the wrong impression. On the other hand, if someone says, first thing in the morning, I wake up and take a measurement, eat nothing, only drink water, do no activity more vigorous than getting ready for work, and measure again one hour and two hours later, then you have a better baseline to compare against.

What you really want to see to establish your impressions as data are multiple keto-adapted people wearing Dexcom 5 CGMs, calibrating periodically with a meter that meets your typical glucose testing range with the greatest accuracy [1]. Then throw those people out of keto-adaptation, measure their ketones as they come back into keto, and compare their glucose levels.

I'm only a data point of one, but I've been keto-adapted so long that the Ketostix urine test strips can no longer detect my acetoacetate-based ketone levels (when you are keto-adapted long enough, you need to measure beta-hydroxybutyrate and not acetoacetate as ketone markers). I'm Type 2, but controlled without medication through diet and exercise. My one and two-hour post-prandials are below 100 mg/dL, usually below 90 mg/dL. I test upon waking up, two hours after waking up to measure dawn phenomena, then every 1-2 hours while water fasting until I break the fast, some time between 1100-1500h, when I use a six-hour feeding window to get in at least 200g of protein and as much leafy greens as I can handle. Then I test again before going to bed.

My keto diet level is 20g net carbs per day. Empirically, when I break out of keto to verify whether or not it is still a factor in my ongoing treatment, I can go as high as 150 post-prandial, and I get a headache. There are definitely diabetics who test higher on keto than off keto, but they are in the minority; it would be interesting to find out if the keto community participants who you read about are diabetics or not. I'm convinced that based upon my personal experience that was guided by the outcomes reported by other Type 2's however, that most (not all) pre-diabetic and diagnosed Type 2's can revert their condition and control it with significant lifestyle changes for a long time before resorting to medication at a very late stage in life, if ever.

Yes, this is another flaw, but there are much bigger flaws in their work!

Also, they only fasted people for 3h. I've sucked a lot of junk out of peoples' stomachs who have had longer fasts, so this is not even a glycogenolisis phase: they could easily have been digesting food still. The participants were students, so maybe some had drunk alcohol, which, like a ketone is a two-carbon molecule...
If we're going to go off on a tangent of comparing rpgs to programming languages, I fondly remember GMing a Paranoia campaign back in the day where I took great delight in breaking the rules to kill off the player's clones in quick and gruesome succession. And then they all had lots of fun backstabbing each other to death.

I guess you'd call that RPG the equivalent of INTERCAL.
I disagree completely. You either don't own a pair or you only tried a fresh pair. You gotta break those bad boys in. It took me 2 weeks before they broke in and I noticed a huge difference.
Not just empathy - it's also a sense of drama that's required. A DM writes the story in (semi-)real-time, whereas in CRPGs the "DM" (the writers) have to predict player actions in advance and railroad the players a lot more in order to get a good story progression going.
This is a way more sane post. Also I'd say coming off the gold standard lead to utterly unconstrained fiat issuance.

> the idea that there aren’t jobs that allow you to easily buy that house in Topeka is ridiculous

I was more expecting "number of job openings available" to be the problem, rather than the pay for any given job opening.

Though, admittedly, I don't live in the US and don't know its geography very well, so until I looked it up just now I was assuming Kansas was part of the infamous US "rust belt" where towns were depopulating and there were fewer job openings than people. I guess that's only happening toward the east coast?
Because we don't need it: we have limits! The constant i and its associated field, ℂ, is needed so we can solve the half of the quadratic equations which have no real roots. Dividing by zero has no use case (that I know of) that isn't covered by taking the limit as x->0 of 1/x.
Waterproof AirPods would be the one thing I would pay stupid amounts of money for. My biggest complaint with the AirPods (and it's a really tiny one) is that they don't have a great seal. Waterproof AirPods would have to have a good seal to the ear.

It is true that Amazon Aurora is not limited by the bandwidth of the storage system, as it is huge and distributed across hundreds/thousands of nodes across an entire AWS region. And storage for each database instance is indeed only limited to 64TB, far above what most people need. But each single instance can still have limitations, such as CPU horsepower, memory, etc. The r4.16xl has 25Gbit networking, as opposed to the r4.8xl, which has 10Gbit network. So if your workload is write-intensive, such as streaming or IOT data, you will find the r4.16xl can have significantly better write performance. https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/ I hope this helps!

A great use case where we can increase the granularity of categorization/tagging and potentially separate the infrastructure provider and the implementation layer on top of it.
I wish people on hn wouldn't be so opposed to GPL and copy left licensing, because the four freedoms as presented by RMS really saw this coming a long time ago. The same principles apply to hardware.

I think its a salient point that the same companies opposed to or abusing copy left are the same ones locking users out from hardware repairs.
I hope that’s what happens too. Another project I work on switched to Aurora for MySQL and it’s been phenomenal.

Really hoping for a similar experience with Postgres.

Know of a simple tool that does that?
There is no latency or battery drain with the AirPods. That's exactly why I can't compare them to any of the other Bluetooth headphones I've tried. They are significantly better.
What you're asking for is equivalent to a general purpose intelligence, i.e. human intelligence, i.e. AI-complete. All (most?) of our ideas can be expressed in language, so in order to actually understand language, you have to actually understand any idea.
Apologies, this is data we will clean up soon.
Amazon has made contributions to open source in many ways, including bug fixes, spending hundreds of thousands/year to sponsor conferences, and even giving the PostgreSQL community a free testing account to run regression, soak, or functionality test suites on AWS for free. So yes, Amazon contributes cash to open source projects, at least to PostgreSQL, which we find to be a wonderful community that we are proud to be part of.
I thought I'd just mention that it appears the issue here is there is a need to rephrase your request for substantiation. The burden of proof is rightly on the claim of new discovery, and user wastra should not be burdened with proving or providing work that the above claim is false, even when the user is being critical.

Asking wastra to expand or show why he/she claims what they claim is fine. However, what I think people are taking issue with is the need for the aforementioned distinction in burden of evidence--it appears your comment on 'work and results' may be unintentionally misinterpreted in this way.
I didn't say most. And having a career choice in common is not at all comparable to something unchangeable like your race.
You can install any piece of code you want on your phone. If it's open source, you can download XCode, compile from source and put it on your own device without paying for a developer's license.

I'm not going to install some random piece of closed source software that couldn't make it through Apple's review process. No I'm not treating my phone differently than my computer. I have no random software on my computer from untrusted sources. I even bought my last Dell from the Microsoft store so I wouldn't have random crapware on it.
Weird, I've had really great experience with InfluxDB. I literally couldn't be happier. The early days were rough, 18 month ago or so. In the last year, it's been very solid.

I store metrics (largely from telegraf) on system performance from more than 100 physical/virtual machines into it, and have full resolution data since Feb 2016 stored in around 100GB across 3 Influx instances (dev, stg, prod).

Compared to our previous collectd/graphite infrastructure, this is a huge win. Much lower system utilization, easier to add custom metrics.

Don't get me wrong, I love Postgres, been using it since '96, but Influx/Telegraf/Grafana has given me the ease of Munin with the high resolution data of collectd while also providing low overhead and low maintenance.
Jeff, that makes sense. We're working on it. Thanks for the information!
It makes sense with those numbers, but those aren’t anything like the real numbers. The real numbers for the US are more like 450 silos and 5 bomber bases. So you’re looking at about 1,350 warheads to take out the silos (assuming three each) and 15 to take out the bombers (again assuming three each).

You could expand the number of bases, but that’s tremendously expensive. It’s far cheaper to build a missile silo than a bomber base and a fleet of bombers to base there.

So in terms of the real numbers, you’re talking about adding around 1-2% to the number of warheads needed for a successful preemptive strike. Again, is that’s all there is to it, or is it something else?
I was (and still am) amazed at how cheap housing was when I started looking away from the West coast. While places with really depressed home prices likely don't have any jobs, there are still plenty of cities with growing economies and cheap housing. I moved to Texas last year and meet people all the time that moved here specifically for the low cost of housing.
Just posting to tell you that I agree with you. People are quick to disregard something.

I had an outer of body experience that felt like the brain really didn't have control of the body. It felt like your actions are an illusion because they are already in the script. You are just reading them and think that it's you who is is in control.

I think a quick write off prevents a large majority of people with 'wierd' experiences from coming forward. Basicly, an organic suppressor. Go figure.
