2. That wasn't my point. The question isn't: "Will they put up with sacrificing their privacy in exchange for the value they get?" We know the answer is "yes" to that. The question is: "Would they prefer to get the same service for the same amount of effort and not give up their privacy?" And I believe the answer to that is also "yes." And there is really no reason why that couldn't be the case. FB is not solving a technical problem that only they can solve.
Honestly the right will freak out about this and scream some form of left wing censorship, but...

The first amendment only extends to government laws. Twitter, as a private entity has no obligation or legal requirement to give hateful speech a soapbox, even when it's promoted by the "leader of the free world."

They would lose millions of users, but they might ultimately provide a net benefit to the future of western democracy if they simply banned Donald Trump from twitter.
Other than this freak occurrence, which was remedied immediately and publicly apologized-for, what else does Twitter do that makes you think they "care so little"?
From the Rust perspective, there should be no time when Rust is too “bloated” for performance. That’s clearly an ideal but if there are specifics I’d love to hear about them.

You use trackballs to input relative movement commands. The position of the ball doesn't need to relate to the position of the cursor. It's like a mouse if you picked it up and replaced it after every stroke. They have a couple nice properties in that they can be fixed in place and offer more freedom of movement to a joystick.

You've reversed cause and effect. They keep the money outside the U.S. to legally avoid the taxes. They can't bring it back.

They'd rather horde the cash than contribute Apple's fair share to the country that made Apple's success possible. Deplorable.

You are downvoted as I write this reply, but I do that as well.

If you look at my sibling comment, you'll see how controversial it is when I point out that this is possible. People are always like "but you don't know me nor how much time I have" but the vast majority of people can sneak in some exercise if we really wanted to. It's just inconvenient.

Or people will say "won't others look at me funny if I do pushups in the office?" Who cares? I can certainly imagine offices where this is impractical, but we of all people are most likely to be able to pull it off.

Meanwhile at the last two places I worked, a few people ended up doing mini-workouts after a week or two of watching me. We ended up using one of the spare meeting rooms as the quick pushup room. It's a comical sight for visitors and new hires. But really, it shouldn't be such an oddity to do some light exercise in life. It just shows how backwards our social norms are, and how they work against us.

But what's also inconvenient are the health issues that arise from sedentary lifestyles.
The "hostile" framing device is a fairly naked attempt to build an ongoing narrative.

I doubt it needs pointing out that the reason WikiLeaks exists is because many (most, all?) organs of "public " service are anything but.
Adam Back came up with the idea of PoW with BitGold I beleive
Nope; No, just not at all:

UI Confusion is never "ultimately" the cause for accidentally killing people through poor operation of a $2 billion piece of military equipment. A UI may suck, many do, in or out of the military. So, training. and then more training.

I don't have a high stakes job, but if I allowed code-completion to drop tables, commit the change, delete the backups, and then burn down the building... well, that's not on the UI, that's on me.

So unless we're talking MS Word Clippy-- and I think the article would have mentioned that-- UI can't take the fall on this.

Besides: It began with the Helmsman sending all control instead of just throttle control to the Lee Helm station. That mistake isn't explained as a UI issue, it's glossed over, but everything came from that initial screw-up. Sure, afterwards there was confusion, but even then, "OMG WE LOST ALL STEERING INCREMENT THE IDIOTIC PANIC OPTION VARIABLES!" isn't really an acceptable response. How about, calmly, "Helmsman double check that control assignment if you please <insert navy jargon cliche />"
I completely disagree. Taking away diversity of political thought is an incredibly dangerous thing. The right is performing a very useful role in playing devil’s advocate - there’s a huge amount of increasing extremism on the left, and it’s important to have people calling it what it is.

And no, Trump’s daily tweets aren’t hate speech. I think he’s an idiot, but he’s not spouting hate speech on there.
Human... "error"? Give that employee a raise!
Due to the fact that the account appears to have violated Twitter rules many times and still exists shows that Twitter cares about the account very much. Many accounts have been banned for much less. Even somewhat high profile accounts.
I wish Amazon went for low hanging fruit in select markets.

In Toronto, Canada, if given the option, I always prefer FlexDelivery, when I can choose delivery to any post office even if it is not anywhere close to my home. It is much easier for me to mosey up to the post office steps away from my office in downtown and then bring stuff home, than try to make it to the office in my neighbourhood before closing.

Unfortunately, too many shippers do not support FlexDelivery, and this is a hassle. Amazon could start with that or strategically place the electronic lockboxes around downtown: the ridiculous amount of people work in a relatively small area of downtown core.

If that is true, then the actual energy consumption would closely track the theoretically expected maximum. This shifts the question to how accurate the discussed estimate is but it still does not give the total energy consumption. But we could probably agree that it is probably on the same order of magnitude.

I think the turning point was the SOPA/PIPA thing. After that event, it felt like the tech industry seemed to collectively figure out that just through sheer technical dominance, they actually wield tons of practical political power. Possibly more then the savviest Washington insiders.
Found the old swiss arrows and didn't realize that as-> even existed thank you.
It's worth remembering, though, that Apple has about $100 billion in debt, so net cash is not quite that impressive.
It may not be acceptable to you, but it's a decent description of what's happening today.
The large social media sites (Facebook and Twitter), along with the large internet giants (Google and Amazon), are already skating on thin ice to avoid being classified as systemically important utilities and monopolies. The moment they overstep, expect the Republican party to strike back quickly and harshly to more forcibly regulate them, and I'm sure the internet giants will work hard to avoid that outcome.

I meant it a little facetiously, and not as condescending to "ordinary people" as it maybe sounded. Like you said a lot of it is just a factor of free time, not having the free time to learn PPP settings and HTML and all that (as I did when I was a teenager). I'm not suggesting that everybody should learn HTML or else they're an idiot, far from it, if someone just wants to focus on writing for a blog, etc. then there absolutely should be tools to make that simple.

One of the laments in the article is the way the web has changed from the early days of simple HTML webpages people put up themselves focused on astrophysics etc., and I think that does speak to a difference of interests and abilities in the web's community over time.

And people do have differences in intelligence, as touchy and controversial a subject as it is. I say that not to make myself feel like some shining genius, I'm not, but commercial interests tend to exploit whatever they can exploit (unfortunately) and the shifting audience of the web likely made it easier to get away with a lot of this stuff.
I'd give 'em a high five. And buy them a beer after they got rightly fired.

It seems extremely unlikely to me that it wouldn't. I conjecture that no such word exists in any widely used human language. This would be a word who's meaning is not contained in the span of meanings of all other words in the language.

Can you think of one in english (or your native language)? You won't find it in any dictionary, since all those words have descriptions in terms of other words.
Consider it from the site-owner’s perspective: if I visit someone’s site and if they are using the content on that site as a source of income, isn’t it rude for me to consume that content without paying for it? Ads and tracking have well-known trade-offs cryptocurrency mining have other tradeoffs but, in the end, might end up to be a better option.

Also, I’m conceiving of this more as a web API browsers can implement that sites can tap into than as a chunk of JavaScript that a site pushes to its users. So, arguably, you’d have consented to this scheme by installing the browser and enabling the feature.

The real complication is not isolated houses, but apartment buildings with shared entryways and/or limited space.
These are all multi-purpose consoles - the trackballs are general-purpose input devices at what looks kind of like a desktop computer setup. The helm station has special-purpose steering input devices, but it just so happens that all the things those special input devices control can be controlled also by the general-purpose desktop setups at other stations.
The humans are only there until they figure out robots.

Then they can rejoin the poorly paying gig economy and hopefully get paid enough to have things delivered to them by their replacements.
Same thing everyone said with Uber & Airbnb.
The JVM is well-known to start slowly. It's not just clojure. For example, that's why people don't write command-line scripts in scala. I mean this is what I've always read, and is my experience from my limited contact with the JVM, and this is what people who use scala tell me. If you're going to contradict a widely-held belief then you need to provide some justification! Try googling "jvm slow startup".
I see arguments like this from time to time about free speech, and it always strikes me as missing the point or being myopic.

Free speech isn't important because it's in the Constitution, it's in the Constitution because it's important. Sure, Twitter wouldn't be violating the law if they banned Trump, but they would absolutely be violating the more important ideal of free speech.
Well, for starters, it's hard to get 200 people who might be eligible for life-preserving surgery to volunteer to possibly get a sham procedure for the exclusive benefit of othewars; not to mention build a team of surgeons, hospitals, etc. willing to do the trial; and someone to pay for millions of dollars in treatment and administrative costs. Clinical trials involving surgery, especially with sham procedures as a proper control, are exceedingly rare in the US for these reasons. (this is discussed in the OP itself.)
Yeah I understand there are benefits, and I didn't mean to make it sound like I am against medication. It is just interesting because our culture dictates what behaviors are successful, which in turn informs which behaviors are undesirable. In the end we medicate against unwanted behavior not for medical reasons but for cultural ones.

I won't disagee with the mindlessly or the JavaBean origins part, but reflection was present in Java from very early days from what I recall.

It definitely is the case that reflection in the JDK would be a very slow and ungainly way to do data access so I can see the 'bean' convention being a way around that.
On the contrary. Besides this "mistake", the main reason why this account has not been banned is because they REALLY care about this account.
>Reasonable people cannot disagree about the science

Reasonable people do disagree about scientific theory quite a bit. There are some parts of climate science that are pretty settled, for instance the earth has warmed and human activity has played a big part in the recent warming. There are other parts that are not such as to what extent positive or negative feedbacks will kick in beyond the basic CO2 forcing. I'm not sure how helpful it is shunning people as deniers.

Some kind of micropayment system would be ok with me, but the nice thing about a system that doesn’t use real money is that it doesn’t factor into my budget in the same way.
Just wanted to echo your sentiment about banking on the go. I’m sad to say that the world is still not very friendly to borderless people. We have to jump through hoops and pay unnecessary fees just to do basic of tasks. Somehow a vast majority of people I deal with have a hard time grasping that you can work on the go or from home and that the cookie cutter 9-5 lifestyle is not the only lifestyle out there.
It's too bad we can't hope for Google or Amazon to pull an "I'm taking you with me" move and get this "network neutrality" fight out of the way.

For lower-cost items Amazon just puts it under my welcome mat (just got one today under the mat) at my front door that is covered. From the street u can see there is a package as it there is only shade and not well lit.

A few times they have called me especially in bad weather conditions on where to leave.

Agreed. Very different, yet similar philosophies if you squint hard enough. Aaron Hsu did an AMA on here and put it on YouTube showing his GPU compiler for APL code written in APL. The entire thing is maybe 5-10 pages of one-liners and looks darn elegant to me. During his lengthy talk on HN he shows you don't need zillions of abstractions if you can keep all the code in a few screens. He uses Notepad (not Notepad++ even) as an editor too. To me, in a way that makes sense as having to use a gargantuan IDE to manage your gargantuan code base seems wrong on some level. Forth users just take that sentiment one step further and only even include the primitives in their language that they need.
> Delivering is not a dream job.

Maybe not now, but it used to be. You say that the job and work conditions can't be improved, but the fact that they were better before proves that your statement is false.
That’s why I got into bitcoin. It has far more potential as a global vault for store of value than a currency. I don’t expect it to ever function as efficient currency and don’t think that it really needs to given other crypto currency developments.

> The right is performing a very useful role in playing devil’s advocate

Can you elaborate on this? Playing devil's advocate is not inherently useful, in fact it can be extremely destructive.

For example playing devil's advocate on saying "hey, maybe slavery wasn't so bad" is at best a waste of time, but if you manage to convince anyone you've just made things worse. There is no value in that role.

Similarly suggesting that being a literal Nazi is "all sides are to blame, many sides" is destructive and not in the least bit a valuable role.

Trump, and the alt-right in general, is regularly in the destructive end of playing devil's advocate. What would you characterize as being useful in countering "extremism on the left"?
Trump is probably the best thing to happen to Twitter in some time. His tweets are the only reason I even see tweets anymore in my life.

So it's funny when I see the CEO use Twitter to attack Trump.

In the case of cinnabon, I'd profoundly disagree with you:

"The company anticipated mega sales when it opened bakeries in a handful of Seattle-area QFCs in 1996. Instead, remembers Greg, “We’d get a three-month boost, and sales would just die.” In marketing speak, Cinnabon suffers from high levels of “product fatigue.” In real talk, it’s not the type of thing most people can eat on a regular basis and maintain their self-respect—or their pant size. Grocery store regulars eventually learn to resist the siren song of icing, dough, and cinnamon goo."

In any case, you choose to smoke, you choose to eat too much, you choose to do things - while yes, you can get addicted to nicotine (and likely will), and you might get addicted to junk food - you made the choice in the first place - its not as if the risks are unknowns.

While I'm in favor of a gradual delegalization of tobacco, banning food is beyond the pale for me - moderated consumption of even calorie bombs like cinnabon, has not been proven harmful - what alternative do you have?
It's weird that the abstract of the first scholarly paper linked in this article basically disproves the headline of the article. From the article:

"Because once in our history, the world-wide population of human beings skidded so sharply we were down to roughly a thousand reproductive adults."

And from the abstract of the paper that that text links to:

"Both genetic and anthropological data are incompatible with the hypothesis of a recent population size bottleneck. "
As a devil's…inquisitor, I guess— I'm curious what the reasoning has been behind the Navy's (and WWII RAF's) preference for split/seniority control and in what situations that balances out, if any. Are those situations where some known, serious risk of error is mitigated by sharing responsibility? Is betting on experience over skill actually wrong, or is their implementation misguided? Or just not applicable to those situations? (Fast situational awareness, etc)

It seems similar to the whole democracy v. autocracy tradeoff. One optimizing for coverage of perspective, the other optimizing for efficiency of a perspective.

Corporations, yes. But employees of those corporations, less so. As a developer making <insert ethically dubious thing here>, you could have qualms about it.
There were multiple causes. The article makes this clear, but the title to the HN post implies there was only one main cause.

The UI should be fixed. There should be a process for helmsmen to report problem UIs.

And of course training. But you can't really train for situations that you don't fully understand, and the people designing the UI are really the ones who need to put the hard work into understanding all these possibilities.
No, it's not a willpower issue here. I bike to and from work 11 miles, and when I don't have a meeting at lunch, go to the gym. Otherwise, I'm actually productive probably 4 hours a day, tops. Most of my time is spent just waiting on other people at work, because of corporate rules and life. I don't need to be told to work out, it's one of my favorite things to do. But add 10 hours to the 8 hours of sleep we're supposed to be getting, and you're left with 6 hours to deal with everything else in life, including making dinner for your family, dealing with kids in college, etc.

It's not taboo, you're just assuming too much here and instead of asking for a clarification you went right to "nope, it's your willpower". "Willpower" is a hotly contested idea in the psychological community as is, so, yeah, it's more than just "an inconvenience".
