You do have alternatives, and no law grants you the right to alternative versions of luxury products. You don't need a social network at all to be a functioning member of society, it's not a right. You're not banned from the only communication network in existence as none of those companies are that. They could all ban you and you still have access to the internet, you can still setup a blog and publish your thoughts to the world, you have not been limited in any way.

I don't think you know what freedom of speech even means to be saying that here. Freedom of speech means the government can't limit your speech or punish you for it, it doesn't mean you have a right to every broadcast medium that exists for speech.
We already do! Paid users can choose "Assets" in the app browser and edit the HTML/CSS/etc. (You can also check the app out with Git and edit them there.)

> Buy guns, tools and a farm

Honest question: in the event of some kind of widespread collapse of civilization, there will be hundreds of millions of starving people. For the purpose of this question, I don't think it matters much whether its a 'fast' or 'slow' collapse.

Assuming you have some kind of self sufficient farm and a bunch of guns and other defenses, does it seem likely that you can keep what food you have and what food you can produce in the future from a large number of starving people?

Slightly off-topic, but (why) did you give up on Magpie? I followed its development with considerable interest, but then it seemed to drop off. I was actually just reading your old Magpie blog posts today.

In particular, I'm curious why you dropped multimethods in favor of classes in Wren.

EDIT: I see you've already answered this question (http://wren.io/qa.html#what-about-your-other-languages)

I spend 40 bucks or so on a Raspberry Pi, then installed these:

Insanely easy to get running: plugged it in to my home router, and now I do all my remote browsing from my home network. I HIGHLY recommend it. I know it doesn't help with privacy, since you're using your home network, but I'm currently more concerned with WiFi hacks, pineapples, and the like.
Some quick calculations about TFLOPS per dollar on GEMM.

Since NVIDIA's volta consumer card is not out yet, I used Titan Xp as the reference card. I grabbed prices from wikipedia, and assume TVM reaches 64% peak perf on Vega and 90% peak perf on Titan Xp:

Radeon RX Vega 64: 12.6TFLOPS * 65% / $499 = 0.01638 TFLOPS/$
Pascal Titan Xp: 12TFLOPS * 90% / $1200 = 0.009 TFLOPS/$

So Vega outperforms a lot here.

> AMP pages don’t receive preferential treatment in search results.

Think it’s true. At the beginning AMP pages got a huge rank bonus. Now, it’s much less. I feel Google sees AMP just for news pages. Guess the project got a lot resistance internally which is understandable: With the hundreds custom AMP components they are actually rebuilding the web.
Think about it this way: What if your VPN operates in another country? It becomes an international issue if Bob wants your VPN to tell them who you are.

On the other hand, if your VPN operates in another country, some websites within your country may block you due to content licensing issues.
Totally agree. The thing with LuaJIT or more appropriately stock Lua is that the VM is small enough to include in your project directly. If Vec and String were exposed to Lua first class construct, we would be a long way there.

The two most mature, well-designed languages in the Rust world are Gluon [1] and Dyon [2]

I believe there is a _great_ opportunity for something like Terra [3] but woven into Rust. Perhaps with the same type of compiler plugin that enabled HolyJIT [4]

The grail is having both a GC and an ownership based gc-free lower level all in the same language. Start dynamic, harden to static and sprinkle in properties.

As a side note, I have been thinking about how to bolt ownership onto a dynamic language and then I learned about Snowflake [5]. I think it would be totally doable to bolt ownership onto Java using annotations and AoT subsets of a program, completely escaping the garbage collector. This would be like Terra++

You can do it, it just adds another axis to the matrix of things you have to support. It's a significant drawback.

>And anyone who thinks financial security for one is something that can be done independent of a community is full of it, or a hustler protecting previously accrued assets.

???

So you are saying the people who make money, and are frugal, would not be able to get to "financial security"? I'm a sample size of 1, but I seem to be doing just that "on my own".

You seem extra jaded here. What am I missing?
Umm. No.

Want to connect 2 lan's together and have full protocol binding and internal DNS support without mucking with 65535*N-nodes port forwardings?

yeah.

not to mention 'vpn' isn't a product..

so your entire notion of 'making money out of it' makes no sense.

as for commercial: OpenVPN is great, free, and fairly simple to use.
From HN's posting guidelines:

While this makes sense since this is not a political forum, I think the HN mods enforce this to a fault. Some political events are definitely big enough to warrant attention here.

It appeared on the front page for me.
I was listening to something about economics on NPR this last weekend and it talked about some of the reasons for German manufacturing surviving and thriving after China joined the WTO and part of it was the Chinese market desired German quality in certain fields - there are niche markets that Germans specialized in that Chinese consumers recognize as having some value (not sure if brand or quality of goods or combination as it was not mentioned) over anything they could get in China, and that German manufacturers are on average much smaller, and the workers cooperated a bit with owners there to lower wages to out compete the Chinese. So it is possible, and also manufacturers were outsourcing from China to Thailand (before that last natural disaster), and Vietnam because of slight wage inflation in China at one point, too.
A CPU version would be nice.
Each episode of G O T is 3.00 on youtube. Or you can buy the whole season for $20 HBO GO is $15 per month and you can watch more than one season. This is clearly way too high a price. In theory, google should compete with HBO GO and lower their price.
I visited Arcosanti in 2014. On one side, amazing place. On the other, it's a failed project. Soleri stated that it can only be self-sustaining when it reaches 5,000 people. I think it never went above 200, and it's now below 100.
> If Idris is a big step ahead of Java, by how much do you think costs at, say, Google or Amazon or Citibank would drop if they decided they would all switch to Idris tomorrow? I'm fairly certain that it wouldn't be anywhere near 30%, and I'm not even sure costs wouldn't actually rise.

How much would something like Idris lower costs at Experian? That is, in your "cost" metric, what weight do you assign to the cost of catastrophic bugs?

(Yes, I know, the Experian bug was in a third-party component that wasn't updated when it should have been. I assert that it's still a relevant question...)

Also note: I am not actually claiming that Idris would prevent catastrophic security bugs. But the question adds another axis where Idris could give you a 30% cost reduction.
But, it boggles my mind why so many people don't believe global warming can be man-made

I used to think the same way, but part of the issue is that most people are not abstract or systems thinkers. They don't perceive abstraction or systems the way many HN readers do or would.

In addition, and related, most people have strong tribal identities that overwhelm their limited intellectual capabilities; Jonathan Haidt's The Righteous Mind is very good on this: https://www.amazon.com/Righteous-Mind-Divided-Politics-Relig... and there are others as well.

Climate change deniers, anti-vaxxers, and other conspiracy theorists share some key underlying traits.

Most of us, including me, also live in our own bubbles. You're likely in a rationalist and data-driven bubble, so you don't see people to whom you'd have explain an entire rationalist and data-driven worldview.

“One chance in ten an individual directly experiences a solar eclipse.” Any spot on Earth sees one in four centuries; life expectancy 40 years. However its pretty certain that people would have heard from neigbors who saw one.

Othe eclipses are fairly common. Lunar eclipses are seen everywhere on Earth every couple years; Moon eclipsing a planet every few years. Combining these eclipses with rumors of solar eclipses, ancient skywatchers would predict the Moon would eclipse the Sun sometime.
I think it's more dangerous to look at the sun on a regular day, It's just more tempting to look during an eclipse.

I've always upgraded my iPhone only for the camera and I've never regretted that. There are so many photos I have from a long time ago that I wish were higher quality, so I'm always willing to spend $ to make sure that today's photos are as good as they can be. 90% of the time I don't have my proper camera with me, so the phone is what it is.

Tangentially, after seeing some NFL replay highlights this weekend, I really wish HD high-frame rate cameras had been invented when Barry Sanders (perhaps the most electrifying football player of all time) played.
He would argue against having your money managed for you. He wouldn't be against working with an advisor, but he'd want the advisor to explain things to you so that you can execute on your own behalf.

I can corroborate this MASSIVE lag on both a 6S+ and a 6 here, and additionally my friends 7+

I've done a complete restore/set up new/bla bla bla... didn't do much. I have to either reboot or hard reset my phone almost every day because apps(even system apps, like messages) will either lock the entire phone up or just all start freezing signalling that's about to occur.

My phone is in perfect condition hardware wise, with great battery health etc(like over 90%). The battery runs down as fast as my 6 that had a defective battery apple replaced under that recall program. I was seriously debating keeping this phone for another six months at least, but if 11.1 doesn't fix it it's going on craigslist.

This is just hilariously inexcusable, it's almost ios 4 on the iphone 3G bad. Like my phone is pretty bad, but my roommates 6 will literally sit for yea, 10+ seconds waiting for the camera to actually be "ready". There's also random ENORMOUS lag when shooting photos/before tap to focus works/etc.
Many people are downvoting you but you're right. Browne is implying that your investment returns will not outpace your career earnings. This may not be true at all, with compound interest over a lifetime.
Harry wasn't saying that if you have a career, it will build your wealth, as if this were some automatic thing.

He was saying that the initial source of the funds that you use to build your wealth will come from your career.

Unless of course you're lucky enough to inherit those funds, but if that's the case, you already know it.
Within the EU you should be able to open a bank account without large problems. Either they offer that already or you can request a basic account if you don't have an account yet in their country (which is not always great, it pays to shop around). Sometimes it takes a bit of work and pressure. I opened a Dutch account right from my smartphone within minutes. Other people I know are customers at an Irish bank (even though they officially state that you need Irish residence) because it enables them to use Apple Pay in Germany.

Most Chinese banks will open an account even on an 24-hour transit stamp (it usually helps to speak some Mandarin). Hong Kong is another possibility and will probably get you better service. Same with Vietnam, Pakistan, and lot of others countries. Some US banks will open an account for non-residents as well.

Mark volunteered time into a project. Let's frame this as an open source project where you can also volunteer.

* Person X is in charge of a group and has an idea for a coding project

* Person Y decides to volunteer some coding time

* Person X, with full authority to do so ends, the purely voluntary relationship

* Person Y now decides that they are a co-founder and has equal rights and starts demanding compensation for the project that doesn't exist but could potentially exist in the future. They also continue to fire off emails becoming more demanding after it's made clear that the relationship has been terminated.

Were this an open source project people would think what the contributor is doing is insane. That's clearly harassment. If I fire someone on a Friday and they show up on a Monday saying that they have a right to the company's future earnings and oh, by the way, do you want this t-shirt I made about the company, I'm going to call the police.

The iphone had an instantly recognisable silhouette for 10 years: symmetrical forehead & chin, with a big round home button. Going to very thin bezels necessarily throws this trademark away. Making lemonade, as it were, they've chosen to embrace the notch to create a new trademark.
My father had been excited and advocating about Arcosanti for years. We visited on a trip through AZ and he left just forelorn and heartbroken. It was somewhat humorous because he went from weeks of not being able to stop talking about it to just silence in the span of the one hour visit.

Great idea, but as with all projects - execution trumps vision.
Hi folks I'm presenting you Zircle UI, which is a circular zooming user interface library based on Vue.js.
It took me a lot of time to develop it since I'm a diplomat not a programmer. So, I had to learn Javascript, how to use Git and a lot of tools first. Also I experimented with many concepts before achieving what I wanted.
I always wanted to create a library to build apps or sites that use zoomable navigation so I build one :). I hope you like it!
Thank you,

I'm not sure why those older generations would be so keen to repair their clothes but not their planet, my own theory would be decades of propaganda from the likes of Fox has divorced them from reality and therefore their own self-interest but maybe they just want to torch the world on their way out.

> there aren't state border crossing stops yet

Actually, funny story, when I was driving from Seattle to California a few years back, we got stopped around the Oregon-California border for a checkpoint. They ask questions to make sure you aren't importing fruits or plant matter that might be carrying pests non-native to the area (think "emerald ash borer" if you aren't sure what they're looking for).

Anyways, I didn't realize what was happening for a moment, and thought it was a toll road. It was a very awkward moment when I tried to hand the guy some cash as he walked up to my window.

New vectorized java.Math-like functions for Clojure's Neanderthal matrices
Looking at the Sun for exactly the same period of time is less dangerous during an eclipse because a sizable percentage of the radiation, but not all, is blocked by the Moon.

Where the danger comes in is that normally the Sun is so bright that if you mistakenly look into it your natural reflexes cause you to flinch away, prevent anything more than a momentary glimpse lasting fractions of a second.

During an eclipse the Sun is dim enough that you could stare at it without "visual pain" (for lack of a better term -- whatever you call something that is too bright) to such a degree as to cause instinctual look-away reflexes.

As a result if you were dumb enough, ignorant enough, or presidential enough, you could stare straight at the eclipse for seconds or 10's of seconds during totality. During that time it will not seem "too bright", but nevertheless your eyes will be focusing intensely damaging UV radiation onto your cornea, causing those cells to malfunction and die, which is what causes blindness.

That said, this is highly educated, rational crowd. I would not feel comfortable giving this explanation to a gathering of the general public because it can easily be misconstrued to mean "this guy says looking at the Sun during the eclipse is not as dangerous as everyone says it is" which has the exact opposite implication with respect to safety. I expect this is why the "looking at the Sun during an eclipse is more dangerous" meme got started -- it results in better safety.
