That doesn't sound like a very big deal. Average people are suffering actual material harm at the hands of predatory companies and you're worried about startup founders?! "The poor startup founders, they have slightly less of a chance to make even more money!!!" – said no one, ever. This is the saddest argument for removing financial protections I've ever heard. Again, life does not revolve around startups.
Even more, we've seen articles which pointed out how using Facebook makes people more depressed and doesn't help with isolation, and loneliness. So in a terribly ironic way, Facebook is making them depressed, but then it doesn't want to them to die because there's nobody left to lick the "Like" button, so it deploys AI doctors to diagnose and prevent suicide from happening.

Dear NYTimes, please write a story in why Laptops are great and why meetings suck.
Firsthand experience, I was way better at typing than writing, particularly after they forced cursive only on everyone and permanently ruined my ability to block-write (while cursive never delivered any of the supposed benefits and looks way worse).

The cognitive act of /making notes/ (actual notes) on paper delivered the majority of the benefit. I usually never actually looked at them again.

Similarly, when preparing printed sheets of notes on a topic later, the act of creating those notes (the closer to the exam the better) again forced the processing and short-term memory storage of the information and I //usually// didn't need them.

Ideally there would be a copy of any slides (including snapshots of the 'boards' every few min / just before erasure) and an audio transcript to aid in taking a lecture again, and maybe a historical Q and A session so that the average quality of questions about the material could accumulate higher/more beneficial for the students.
Yup. Nothing exciting to see here.
#1 reason for privat bankruptcy in Germany are consumer credit default. From buying/leasing expensive cars and gadgets.

So people are going broke by the masses from buring money on shit they don’t need to impress people they hate cus advertisement told them to.

Shutting people off from investing their own money however they like is Elitist thinking!
It has to depend on the nature of the site, right? E.g. if you are doing something that is bandwidth heavy then losing NN is going to hurt. But if you are only moving a small amount of bits anyway, then probably no impact.
Exactly. If they want to require you to enter information before downloading, then create temporary download links. Problem solved.
sorry, the other post on HN was about an article on dorinlazar.ro, which says the same things pretty much and sadly now is down...
Wouldn't be dissimilar from companies hiring "mystery shoppers" to sample-test customer service.
So I mean first order "excitment" is over takes and how often first changes. Which this article doesn't mention at all.
Taxing land value is even better: not only does it not punish any economic activity, so doesn't have any dead weight cost; it actively encourages better land use, and thus might even benefit the economy.

Also land is hard to hide, and relatively easy to value. So it's really hard to evade the tax. If you are going to tax wealth, and want that to include assets like equity in private companies, you are going to have to value those assets.
The "propagandists" have unlimited resources compared to the individuals, filtering them on FB is a small battle in a big war. These individuals' "reality" is much more immediately in peril than some perceived danger of your reality being overwhelmed by propaganda. Teach people discernment if you are truly concerned.
First, there are no corporations/royal charters in "my libertarianism." We've been over this.

Secondly, no, if BigCo has defrauded Joe, Joe has every right to sue for restitution. I have no idea where you got the idea that I'd disagree with this concept from what I'm saying. Again, I suspect you're over-thinking things.
We might hope so, but I don't think that has been true historically. Did the companies that did business with the Third Reich suffer any penalties? What about the oil companies, who do business with many brutal regimes (and who now have one of their CEOs running the U.S. State Department, forswearing the U.S.'s commitment to democracy).
Sure, but it's surprising how much Windows software still leans on "file download sites" that do the whole "your file will download in X seconds or click here" nonsense. It's sometimes hard to tell if it's the real/official download unless you backtrack. Very weird compared to Mac software where usually a .dmg is downloaded straight from the creator's own site.
Not sure if this is still true, but historically, TVs have had dramatically lower image quality than comparable monitors.
It's a metal box with dimensions that aren't great for housing needs. So you modify it by adding insulation, cutting and welding pieces together, etc. Which makes it neither prefab nor great base material.

I don't see what the surprise is.
For a while they had comments on almost everything, then they realised that the majority of comments were opposed to their viewpoint, and even ridiculed them. So they shut most of it down

That's not to say the readership wasn't with them - that's a lot harder to quantify - but thencommenters largely weren't.
That Wikipedia page links to a interesting piece: "Taxing Land is Better Than Neutral: Land Taxes, Land Speculation and the Timing of Development" (https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Taxing_Land_is_Better...)
Saying 99% of almost any group is not pure and truthful is probably much closer to the truth than a small fraction like 1%. And I'm assuming we aren't literally meaning completely pure and truthful either. Still has me think the original statement is closer to the truth.

Democrats in America are no saints. Just compared to Republicans, in my opinion, they comparatively are much better.

"Libertarian IRS" has as much meaning as "vegan foie gras." I have no idea how to parse this statement.

I feel like this is the first half of a comment. If you believe I misunderstand how Chocolatey works, the interesting bit isn't telling me I'm mistaken, it's correcting my mistake by pointing out that Chocolatey doesn't actually copy and redistribute the package, it provides users with scripting sufficient that their local machine downloads the package from the origin service.

But in practice, I'm aware of how Chocolatey works, and figured I could get away with pointing out that the US legal system has previously considered access of remote systems to be a crime even in cases of publicly exposed endpoints without having to do a longwinded explanation of the role of Chocolatey vs the end user running Chocolatey's provided scripts.
I'm not sure that's true or he much it's true. I've read a bit about Gandhi; his stated belief was that the people of the UK would back justice for India when they saw the treatment of Indians. MLK studied Gandhi and used similar strategies.
Airport Breaks World Record for Number of Flights in 24 Hours
We have laws. The bar is defined.

Part of the problem is that people wouldn’t prosecute even if you met the standard of evidence.

Another problem is that there are statutes of limitations, often quite short. So many people who were assaulted have no other recourse than the media to try to protect other future victims.

What should happen instead? They got away with it past the statute of limitations so no one is allowed to bring it up or criticize them? No one is allowed to decide how they will behave towards the abuser now that they know the information because a court didn’t convict them?

What would you solution be?
"The DNS leak test works by sending your client a series of domain names to resolve within a specific test domain. Each request is sent from your client to your configured DNS server. Even if you have configured a single DNS server, there may be many other servers that the request is passed on to in order to be resolved (normally to load balance the requests). For example if you configure Google DNS then you will often find 6-10 Google DNS servers which are fullfilling the DNS requests."

via https://www.dnsleaktest.com/what-is-the-difference.html

Basically it's sending you unique subdomains and then in turn seeing what IP addresses DNS requests come from. Since the subdomains are tied to you, it can tie the requests from the DNS servers you're using back to you.
To give an example, ShopRite is a co-op in the sense that all the store owners make purchases together to drive down costs, but from the worker's perspective it's no different than working at any other store. This is an owner co-op, because the owners of each store are working together so that each owner benefits.

A worker co-op is like what Twitter is trying to do, where they are holding a shareholder vote next month to determine if the employees can buy out the business from the owners and run it for their own benefit.
A list of domain name ideas based on just the domain name.
The language is tricky in this area; I'll try to be clear. There seems some confusion in your concepts; at least I'm confused about them. I don't claim to have this stuff all worked out; sorry if it's not helpful.

It sounds like, for you, 'subscribing to an objective morality' would involve feeling the need to make everyone 'adopt your position' - share your beliefs? do as you do?

I don't think there are actually many ethical or social relativists at all. Even the most self-proclaimedly relativist academics may talk like that professionally, but in their everyday lives have quite another standard, and evidently believe in objective ethics/morality/reality etc. That's the thing about ethics; it's not like favourite ice cream flavour, where you might think lemon is best, chocolate awful, but understand it's just your personal taste. Believing something is ethically wrong means it's not just 'wrong for you', but 'wrong, full stop.' It doesn't mean you go around forcing people to think/act the same. (Although probably means you wish they would.)

I think you have described tolerance, an understanding that people think differently, not everyone has the same values etc. But to go from that to thinking there is no right and wrong, good or bad - only right-for-you, wrong-for-you - well, that's an abysmal step. I suppose you don't mean that; I hope not. Well, even in your "I don't feel the need to compel all sentients in the universe to adopt my position" it sounds like you think it's simply a better way of acting than others who need to compel etc. Not just better-for-you, but better for anyone, better for everyone i.e. objectively better.
I would recommend that people do not use Facebook.
> and they recently pissed off most of the geeks in the country with the new tax code.

Interesting, would you like share some more information on that?
I don't really understand that use of the word orthogonal.

But for clarity's sake: I have read about issues like poverty for decades. In any given year, about 10 to 15 percent of Americans are below the federal poverty level. But only about 2 percent of Americans are chronically poor. This is typically defined as below the federal poverty level for at least 5 years out of 10.

In fact, I have even seen stats that suggest that being in the bottom 20 percent in one year is actually a reasonable predictor for being in the top 20 percent the following year. Some people below the federal poverty level in a given year are temporarily unemployed and job hunting. In some cases, they are actually starting a new business. So, most folks don't stay below the poverty level.

The people who are chronically poor are the ones that have significant personal challenges. These personal challenges both make them miserable and are also a root cause of their poverty. If they can't resolve their personal issues in some manner, they remain poor.

I have not only studied such things, I have lived it. Misery is not just having X problem, but knowing that you may never be able to resolve it and that the world does a really sucky job of providing some means for people like you to have some kind of baseline level of comfort. It is a kind of personal hell.
You are right about monetary offset, if the central bank is well-run. (Which eg the Fed wasn't during the last recession.)

Of course, someone still has to decide whether to consume now or invest. Or whether to invest in economically efficient ways, or in ways that are only economically efficient because of weird tax arrangements (but are actually less productive).
> this shows how utterly unprepared facebook is for its role as a de facto news business. A bunch of engineers thinking they are smarter than they actually are unwillingly facilitate the election of Trump.

All of our "respectable" news sources fell into clickbait journalism. You can thank the NYT and NPR for doing their part to elect Trump. Reporting on the latest Trump scandal during the campaign drove far more clicks than "oh, Bernie cares about income inequality. Still. Yay"
I see 'reviewed' and think 'censored'.

Reminds me of the author who wrote that one book about the dangers of totalitarianism.
Every time Facebook has stepped in to "fix" something they have been criticized by one side or another. They have learned that it's safer for them to do nothing and then blame the algorithm when enough people complain. No one gets fired when the algorithm does something wrong.
That hasn't worked out so well. For example, Wounded Knee, MOVE, Ruby Ridge and Waco.
Why? False positives happen all the time. Youtube is de-monetizing perfectly legit videos for example.

It's never been illegal in the US to support an issue to the fullest extent of your financial capabilities. You can make statements into a public forum with your every last dollar.

It had been, for decades, illegal for one person to support one specific candidate/campaign. It was never quite enforced such that it made a huge difference (shell companies, PACs, etc make it easy to skirt rules and funnel campaign support) and candidates get progressively better at asking for "support" without actually making the tit-for-tat which moves it from the "lobbying" arena to "bribery".

Also, IIRC that ruling established the precedent needed for SuperPACs and moved the individual contribution threshold.
Jesus F. Christ, you’re right.

Just shows where humanity’s overall priorities are, funny enough.
We have an NJ senator going through a corruption case right now. And he's seeming like he will be saved because the Supreme Court allowed certain amounts of corruption before so he's only getting off because we made some stuff legal. I'm guessing he isn't at the back of a hypothetical list. Most democrats who talk about him are also in support of him if I'm not mistaken. There's also the behind the scenes supporting of Hillay over Bernie. If not outright corruption and collusion.

This doesn't mean Democrats are as bad as Republicans, but they aren't the saints you're making them out to be.
Please refrain from asking for upvotes. (You'll even receive more upvotes this way, if that's really what you are after.)
Now I'm googling this and it looks like what you wrote would be a compiler error (assuming Foo.h was included into at least two files) unless the keyword inline was used so that the same function could be defined multiple times. That clears up my confusion with your "default inline" statement.
I know it's probably in the docs somewhere but I'm feeling lazy: how much does it cost SpaceX to launch a rocket? I'm sure there's some variation so a range or average will suffice. Thanks.

Edit: Turns out that was a bit of a silly question. Thanks for the replies.
All fair points, but even within the US, $5m goes as far in some states as $50m does in some cities. Besides that, one person's "personal safety net and toys" is another person's "not enough", is another person's "greed".

Meanwhile, you're getting taxed on the estate you're trying to build as you build it.

Twice.

Every year.

As someone who's currently attempting to build his own personal empire, I'm incredibly glad I don't have a wealth tax to contend with. It's hard enough as it is, without knowing that if I start to draw close, it'll get harder and harder as I go. I might not have started trying if it didn't seem possible in the first place. Then again, I might have done it anyway. Where's a quantum theorist when you need one?
That proposal is rather complicated, and probably inefficient. Why not just go with a land value tax?
Err, so I see a defense of the news arm and it's impartiality and acknowledgement that the editorial section has an ax to grind? Is that supposed to be some big expose? That's the point of the editorial department, a chance for reporters to give opinions rather than be impartial.

The sad part is that people might assume it actually supports the position that WaPo can't be trusted. That seems to be the norm these days. Say something and throw out random video or audio as evidence when it isn't anything of the sort, since most people won't pay enough attention to really check and will just assume that if it was presented as evidence, it must be evidence. :/

It feels good to be vindicated about this. As a San Francisco and Berkeley resident, this has happened to me more times than I can count. Seemingly every item carried by USPS was marked delivered prematurely. This was a factor in cancelling my amazon prime membership.

Every time I reported the problem to amazon, they offered a credit or replacement, but the effort of contacting customer support so often was too much of a time sink.

Maude is a truly fascinating language. Its base computation model (no true operation order and pure term rewritting) is extremely innovative, and I've never seen another language like it.

While not a production ready language, I'm really surprised it or something like it doesn't get more attention.
SpaceX has consistently developed technology for a small fraction of what it costs anyone else.

As a case in point, Blue Origin started before SpaceX. They have put more money into development than SpaceX. But they have yet to launch a single rocket into orbit.

And yet, Blue Origin is not bad. They appear to be in the same ballpark of costs as NASA originally estimated for development on the Falcon 1. They are just failing to rewrite the rules the way that SpaceX has consistently done.

That said, if SpaceX ever fails as a business because Elon takes one risk too many, I'm sure that Blue Origin will happily buy the technology...
Who decides what constitutes a "tenuous grasp on reality"? Is it those who said that Saddam had WMD? The ones who said that the Democratic primary wasn't rigged? The ones who said that it was ridiculous that the US government was spying on its own citizens? If the censors had their way, all of the above may very well passed into history as undisputed facts.
Good point, I was making an assumption that this was a wholesale replacement scenario for income and other taxes.

My only other quibble is that I haven't seen healthcare costs or insurance premiums scale to that 10x factor like housing prices do rural-vs-urban, otherwise I'd personally be perfectly happy with moving and retiring early. Get the right cancer or nasty chronic condition and you're gonna be out some serious bucks.
Consumer price indexes change. The price of almost everything changes, even in the same time period the price of different goods and services vary depending on where you are and how much of it you are buying at once.

Nice history of the price of light: https://www.vox.com/2015/6/9/8749751/historic-cost-of-lighti...

The price of transistors has famously dropped by half every 2 years.

Brazil has such great variation in CPI that they need to calculate it for all their major cities.

> Over the past month of testing, Facebook has initiated more than 100 “wellness checks” with first-responders visiting affected users. “There have been cases where the first-responder has arrived and the person is still broadcasting.”

It's important to note here that "first-responder" here means police; because suicide tends to either be a crime, or something for which police can legally take you into custody for. Regardless of what you think of this, any intellectually honest discussion of this must acknowledge that this machine SWATs people.
When Bernie had his largest rally yet (larger by far than anything Hillary had by then), NPR spent 8 minutes of the Newshour talking about something Trump said, and the reactions people had on Twitter.

They chose not to cover Bernie and while I could only speculate why, I agree with you that they helped elevate Trump’s candidacy.
It may be illegal to trick someone else into publishing slander. WaPo might feel defrauded, and might have a case for that. IANAL though, so that's pure speculation on my part.
Which Group B car? Some are more insane than others (which is an insane comparison itself).
They charge around $60 million for a commercial launch. I’m not sure how big their profit margins are, but that at least gives you a ballpark idea.
the statement why REQ would try this, not ycomb's investment strategy..

They don't just invest in anyone, they do due diligence, why would they conclude this is even a viable risk taking opportunity if it was easy to see there is no utility in the technology?
At this point if you are going to the effort of custom installers as with Ninite you might as well switch to building APPX containers (with the Desktop Bridge) and use the Windows Store (and/or Windows Store for Business and/or Add-AppxPackage PowerShell automation).

Personally, I think it's time to converge to APPX and away from semi-proprietary solutions like Chocolatey/Ninite/etc for desktop applications. (I say that as having once been a big Chocolatey fan.)
That is closely guarded information. The customer price of a launch is in the $60M-$80M range, so that's an upper bound.
