> Most people would describe government owned property as public

Yes, because they are using a public/private dichotomy which makes a lot of sense distinguishing kinds of ownership within capitalism, but has nothing to do with the socialist use of the term, where “private property” is a central feature of capitalism, and it's alternative (when it concerns the means of production) is not something which exists in “pure” capitalism.

> because all citizens are allowed to have a say in the management of the property, not just some of them

And this is exactly why many schools of socialist thought see centralized state control, even in a democratic state, as generally private property; the particular workers whose labor is applied to the means of production have their control so diluted by other parties that the control is almost as completely alienated from them as in the case where they have no ownership.
I feel like you could do this just watching network traffic, and judging by the fact that nobody's done it, I also feel like there's some mechanism preventing this that I'm not knowledgeable enough in the subject to be aware of.
Interesting, I never heard of this. The father of an old friend I had was a severe stutter. Multiple elongated blocks in every sentence. I use to come over and witness his dad getting ready for one of his many manual labor type jobs and wondered what opportunities he missed out on due to his disability and whether or not he should be able to collect some kind of assistance for it.
Does the iPhone 6s have a similar flaw? I'm still using one.

How much would you pay for an image resizing service? I'd been thinking for a while of putting a fleet of autoscaled thumbor boxes behind cloudfront and making a billing API for it.
I'm still waiting for that webhook API they talked about 2 years ago.
Heh... I worked on this project back in 2014 or so. At the time, none of us gave much thought to the "big brother"'ish aspects, but in hindsight, that's a reasonable concern. I mean, the technology has potential benefit to be sure (don't most new technologies) in terms of helping ensure compliance with pill ingestion protocol, and getting into "personalized medical analytics" etc. But if the State, or the BigCorporations get their hands on this data with the intent of using it for nefarious purposes, yeah, that could be a problem. :-(
If you're on Windows, grab a copy of Firefox Portable ESR 52: https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox-portable-esr

You can 'install' it anywhere you want (Documents folder, other drive, cloud folder, etc). You can copy your profile in using the steps outlined here: https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#local_prof...

It will remain updated through April 2018 and your profile will stay separate from your installed copy of Firefox. In April, ESR is switching to a newer Quantum version of Firefox, so old extensions will be disabled. If, at that point, there isn't a suitable replacement for ScrapBook, disable updates in your copy of Firefox Portable (if you're using the PortableApps.com Platform to automatically update it, rename your FirefoxPortableESR folder to FirefoxPortableESROld or similar) and only use it for ScrapBook not to go online.
Author of the blog post here - it looks like what you linked does its image resizing in pure Go. In our testing we found these libraries are significantly slower than the C++ resize libraries. I would guess we would need at least 10x as many instances if we used that resizer, though probably a lot more
At least those examples I heard about were easily explained by chance. It was the usual "humans are bad at recognizing randomness".
Marx in special outlined a pretty well defined procedure to create what he called "socialism". Russia followed it to the letter, and the Soviet Union was the consequence.

It is dishonest to keep claiming "socialism" is something different than what you get when you follow the procedures to get there. Yes, Marx promised something very different, but well, if you read his books you'll see he was way more of a politician than a scientist.
agree on 3) most browsers just use linear interpolation when resizing images, which makes sense from a performance point of view, but looks terrible.
Better to use a bi-linear or cubic resize, more computing up front, but better images, this is probably the reason they do it
You're not actually addressing the myriad of cases in which the principle of unilateral revocation is warranted. You're merely asserting that it's improbable that member states would negotiate in bad faith or vote in a hostile manner contrary to the leaving member's interests.

A50 was not just constituted to protect the remaining members when a member departs, it was to show members that leaving is possible. If the leaving member has no power in this process and with bilateral revocation the UK in this case has very little leverage, it precisely sets up the circumstances in which any number of member states can muck up the process in a way that harms the welfare of the leaving country. That can't be right.

Unilateral revocation in the only way it is possible keeps the EU27 honest if it were intent on not being reasonable. Mind you there are plenty of people in the UK who feel the EU is not negotiating in good faith as it stands. Unilateral revocation certainly diminishes their leverage and it is undesirable to have to deal with it from the EU27's point of view, but this is a good thing. The EU27 should not have absolute power over a member who expressed a desire to leave.

The only scenario in which unilateral revocation encourages shenanigans is a hypothetical scenario that simply doesn't work. As I've explained in a previous comment, if the leaving member initiates revocation as a means of resetting the negotiation window or as a means of exacting new concessions, it will backfire, the benefits would be nullified and it would be a stupendously high risk to take. After all, if the UK negotiates in bad faith, the EU27 would contest it in the CJEU with the possibility of losing. It would be entirely unprepared to take the blow of a cliff edge Brexit and kill any chances of a favourable FTA from happening for years if not decades.

Note that in all cases bilateral revocation is preferable and probably is how things would go, but you don't need to stretch your imagination that far to imagine whether unilateral revocation should be a right when only one of the EU27 is needed to block bilateral revocation and send the UK into unmitigated chaos.
Firefox is pretty similar looking as Chrome now. I liked FF before cause it looked different, now everyone just copies Chrome look.
> Why would people value an SD card if the apps all refuse to use it?

Valid point, but the apps may just be refusing because most phones don't have an SD card anymore, and the authors are either being lazy or don't care (I don't know which) and simply failing to code in support for something they think seldom exists anywhere.

Although in my case, all my apps that I care about using the SD card are using the SD card. But then again I have 98% FDroid apps installed, so those may just be better behaved apps.
This is a good start. Gnip seems to basically be invite only (I've tried contacted them multiple times and have not once received a response) and the public API is so limited it's near useless.

I'd still rather everyone move to Mastodon.
The last time this was suggested on the news (CNN, etc), I did some quick math.

To ship gas to Europe, the US will need to spend about 50B-100B+ (minimum) building LNG facilities on both port sides, and then build something like 10,000 LNG Carriers (oceanic ships) to meet demand. Which would cost another 100B+ (maybe even 1T).

After all the infrastructure is set up, the prices will be at least 2-3 what they pay now (as they have to do things to and with the LNG that Russia does not in the process of delivery).

Its not feasible, unless you want the US taxpayers to pick up the bill and then subsidize it.

These were back of the envelope calculations. It could be a factor of 10 off in either direction.
> Mt. Gox . . . suffered the fate of all bitcoin exchanges, and had its bitcoins stolen.

Wow. This is an embarrassing demonstration of the authors ignorance of the current state of the cryptocurrency market.

It is appalling that former CEO Mark Karpeles may benefit from the exchange collapse he caused through either incompetence or thievery. But it's hardly different from the rewards paid out to those who caused the US economic melt down in 2008.
This is a good comment. One thing I'd like to point out is that people often defend technical interview exams on the notion that if someone can't write a factorial function, that's a bad sign.

Well, sure, but my experience has been that the technical interview exam is far more elaborate than this. My questions were more along the lines of finding all permutations of a set (usually with some twist, like find all permutations that, when combined, match another member of the set). Or finding all matching sub trees in an binary tree, or something depending on merge sort or quick sort. That sort of thing. Nothing impossible, but considerably more involved than simple recursion. And the teams that interviewed me clearly did expect to see largely working code written on a whiteboard.

Overall, it's elaborate enough that people do need to study substantially for their interview exams, and good developers may simply decide they don't want to waste the time on a job that might not even come through anyway. I once learned to do intricate integration by parts in calculus, but I wouldn't be especially interested in training up to do it for a data science interview. If it comes up for reals, I'll deal with it.

This is something the industry has inflicted on itself, which is why I feel a lot of irritation when I hear the same companies talk about a severe shortage of talented software developers.

The easiest way to explain Haxe, is it compiles C#/Java-like code into platform specific code, usually javascript nowadays.

The Haxe syntax itself, is quite peculiar. You can get proper classes, properties, constructors (which are always forced... sigh), and there is the possibility of macros, which lets you do C# style annotations on classes.

The problem is, most of the time, you have to do a bit of special work to get Haxe to play nice with your modern front-end frameworks.

Also, HaxeDevelop hasn't really picked up on the trend towards simpler, pleasant to use IDEs. There is a lot of good functionality in there, but you should be able to get Haxe code working with VS Code.

So what could HaxeDevelop do better? I think it looks too similar to VS2010, whilst everybody else is having a mad dance party over in Metro land. The distraction free IDEs nowadays, really make it easier to get in the zone, and you can configure snippets super easy nowadays.

Offer some really good themes out of the box. I shouldn't have to go into the settings to make my code look nice.

But an actually honest to god redesign I would love. As long as they don't do what is so common right now and use redesigns to cover up for technical debt. And make sure your users never have to worry about DPI.

Apple rested control from AT&T and the few mobile carriers around the world that were selling the iPhone during the first year with less than 10 million devices sold. There was no reason that Google couldn't do the same. You even had to wait for Nexus updates back in the day that were sold by Verizon.
Speecheasy comes with an "invisible" earpiece to transmit the playback. Wouldn't it be relatively easy to create a mobile app to perform the same way and have a special earpiece as an accessory?
There is basically no mention of the hit game on HN. It is presently a video game phenomenon and is inspiring video game developers to explore that video game genre.

That particular streamer is changing the streaming game and is invested in some third party streamer support apps. He has broad appeal as little kids dressed up as this Twitch streamer for Halloween this year.

I think an article about the game, its streamers, the revenue sharing, and how Twitch is evolving would make the front page of HN.

That is all. No hidden agenda.
I visited Germany last summer and was amazed by how many windmills there were. Everywhere I looked there was a windmill. Obviously this was a country on the forefront of clean energy.

Imagine my surprise when my father-in-law took us to see the open pit mines and drive through the towns, entire towns, that had been moved to make way for coal excavation.
Another user suggested that a lot of searches could result in massive spam results that suck away from the rate limit and clutter analysis.

What is Twitter doing to combat this? For example, I reported this account: https://twitter.com/ksfAKBARI for being spam account about 3 weeks ago, and nothing has been done yet. I noted in my report that it has a massive follower network of hundreds of other spam accounts. Why isn't Twitter at least tackling these extremely obvious spam accounts?

This holds true for so many Bitcoin related disputes. I also find it highly amusing when bitcoin using champions of rejecting regulation and structure mysteriously seem to need a great deal of it when heaven forbid things don't go as they hoped.
Yeah, I like the impressionist feel of the low shapes. To me I like that it gives just enough of an impression of the image that is loading that you aren't too worried if an image is slow to load or fails to load that the gist still comes across, but is also still rough enough that it gives the indication that something may still be loading.

I worked with a really great DevOps guy who had a bad stutter, and was not a native English speaker. I myself had a surgery that paralyzed one of my vocal chords and I couldn't speak above a whisper for years and still can't be heard in loud places. I can commiserate with just wanting to let other people know what you're thinking, but just not physically being able to do it. It's not easy, but the isolation it caused gave me my tech chops today. Not sure I'd always trade that tit for tat, but c'est la vie.
By "equivalency" I mean having access to equivalent APIs for specific functionality, as for example the inability to listen for window events that's breaking Vimperator and friends. (And electrovim! Have you noticed that it stops working on chrome pages that don't run scripts? Has the CSP bug been fixed? I didn't think it had been.)

Maybe it's not possible to support window event listeners without breaking e10s. But I see no a priori reason why it should be.

I haven't seen anyone in a serious discussion demanding 100% XUL API compatibility or feature coverage. (For the purposes of this comment, most discussion of the issue on HN is unserious.)
Many banks send 2FA codes via SMS, so I question how my bank account will not get hacked if the master key for SMSes gets leaked "pretty quickly".

57 hasn't been released long enough for me to tell how it'll go... but when I dismiss the prompt once I don't want it to go modal every time firefox tries to sync or every time I click a link on a page I'm not logged in.
I don't know that I like "data first".

Every greenfield project starts with a data model, but eventually gets encumbered in lots of crazy, bespoke business logic. This happens 6 months to 2 years into a project when some person asks for "one little thing". I'd love to see people who have used this for a while talk about data migrations, constraints, and all the other cruft that ends up happening in software development of CRUD.

This reminds me of Microsoft Sharepoint without all the widgets (which is what I meant when I said "visual") or Salesforce or even Microsoft Access. All of which are fairly difficult to manage, but appeal to a certain kind of customer.

The problem comes in when you have some complex business logic (you need 2 levels of approval on a Tuesday to publish this data)

I'd rather write all that stuff in a popular programming language.
You don't have to build a storage room for millions of years if you know that technologically its is quite feasible to use these resources in the next 1-2 generations.

If nuclear energy development would not be stopped and opposed on every step both in development and deployment these things would have been solved long ago. The needed technology essentially exists for 40 years.

Basically the problem only exist as long as people are determined to not develop nuclear technology any further.

As for your 'dense population argument' that is essentially another 'nuclear is very dangerous and needs to be far away from people' argument. Every reasonable large country in Europe has enough space for these things, if you use real rather then fantasy risk assessment.

Also, in a global market there is no reason why any of that stuff has to be in your country.

JS is enough for most application code. There are libraries that have and always will be in C, C++, or something similar, and it would make the most sense to wrap and expose them for different environments. JS makes no sense for shared libraries.

Then there's the popular culture that feeds pretty much completely fictionalized views of nuclear. I'm pretty sure a lot of anti-nuclear attitudes stem from The Simpsons.

> Marx in special outlined a pretty well defined procedure to create what he called "socialism". Russia followed it to the letter

No, it didn't. I mean, the whole point of Leninism is “How do we skip past the requirement identified for Marx to have well-estsablished capitalism with proletarian class consciousness before proceeding to the socialist stage on the route to Communism?” Leninism abandons the essential context for which the Marxist program is designed. (And even then, the program wasn't particularly specific, unless you mean Marx and Engels program for the specific capitalist states of Europe in the mid-19th Century, which Russia was even more distant from then the generalized capitalist states of Marx’s theory.)

> It is dishonest to keep claiming "socialism" is something different than what you get when you follow the procedures to get there.

Marx is not the first or definitive socialist; socialism existed before and is broader than Marxist theories, so even if Russia and other Leninist states were an example of direct application of Marxist process, this would still be an example of mistaking a particular subset for the whole.

Judging Marxism by Leninist examples is like judging Christianity by Protestant Fundamentalism; judging socialism on the same basis is like judging Abrahamic monotheism by the Protestant Fundamentalism.
