And? That's true of a lot of people, including myself. Do you think that's a new thing? As if not being a productive member of society leading to poverty is this evil new capitalistic creation? Or that pursuing your own ideas should not include the risk it does? It's amazing to me that you choose to work for someone for an agreed upon salary, providing stability and security to you, and then have an issue with the concept of work ethic because if you don't work for them or someone else you will be poor.

I work on side projects as I can. I don't quit my job because I don't know if I can survive as easily with my other ideas. It's a risky proposition. I choose less risk. You do the same, but seem upset at that concept.

Not the GP, but I'm not a hacker, not rich, have a marginally IT-related job - but find the non-tech discussion on HN far better than most news/discussion web sites.

I do find it ironic for a commenter to be surprised at a lower-wage worker reading a thread about, per the title, blue collar wages. (And that a thread with such a title inevitably turns into a discussion of programmer wages ;-)
Yeah I figured that gzthermal binary was a good match for a Docker container :)
Creating portfolios using HoxNox portfolio generator
The only one I can find is in 2012 there was a RAID bug that damaged metadata required for RAID access, under specific/rare conditions.

http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Bug-in-Linux-kernel-c...

But if anyone is running critical data, they shouldn't be using a bleeding-edge kernel in the first damn place. It certainly "sucks" for the users that found it, but again, that's the risk you play.

And, this bug seems to have been found... a mere week after articles even reported the release of Kernel 4.14:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/638206

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/11/linux-kernel-4-14-lts-fea...

Which is a pretty amazing turn-around time for "crowd-sourced" discovery of a bug. And according to the bug tracker, it looks like they patched it the same day.

So as bad as this is (and I feel for those who lost data, I really do), the solution is simply to not run bleeding-edge kernels on release day. The very fact they have a minor version number 4.14.1 (.1) implies things get released that need fixed, and if you have critical data you should be more patient.

That guy is getting too worked up over a small misattribution. Does he think the world works in a vacuum and other companies aren't taking note? Doesn't matter if it's phone or residential service, the fact that it's been enacted is absolutely egregious.
> A flag to reinitialize busses and hardware, skip memory clear

It's not just a simple flag - it's basic stuff like for example which clock pin is mapped to which clock consumer(s), which GPIOs on which pins are mapped to stuff like LEDs, the power/reset switch, which hardware interrupt line is mapped to which GPIO... all stuff that's best kept inside the BIOS where the manufacturer can easily patch it if needed in contrast to the Linux kernel with its notorious difficulty to get stuff accepted into mainline, much less into a kernel that actually runs on users' computers - think LTS users, for example. I can take a 2010 kernel and it will likely run fine on a recent x86 machine, but if I needed to wait for motherboard support to ship in kernel, that would be not very cool.

Yes, something like FDT would be nice but even on the relatively small ARM space it has its fair share of issues - I don't even want to think about having FDT in mainstream x86.
" The U-2 can still fly higher than the Global Hawk, carry a greater payload, and its sensors have more of a slant range. The Global Hawk also lacks de-icing equipment and countermeasures against Russian SAMs. We may be entering the age of drones, but old-fashioned piloted planes can still do a thing or two."

Why not just copy the U2 and make an improved, unmanned version?

New York attorney general is investigating fake net neutrality comments
It's amazing how much of the past we ignore. We already learned years ago that the best filtering is one you manage yourself. kill-files, procmail rules, spam-filters, etc all work better when the user has control. I don't see why you would use a system that lets anyone send anything to you without that personal level of filtering available.

Color me confused.

Explaining isn't the crucial part. Everyone who hears it understands "ISPs get to decide which websites you can see with the basic package and more cost upgrades".

The hard part is giving people something useful and worthwhile to do about it.
> That is different from the type of satellite-tv style packages ("Social media package, Facebook/Twitter, for only $9.99!") type of thing that people are talking about with net neutrality.

It's the flip side of the same coin. Without net neutrality, ISPs will be able to charge content providers like Netflix a toll to not be throttled out of viablity -- who will then presumably pass the costs on to end consumers -- or the ISPs can directly charge end consumers an extra toll for access to the full internet. (Of course they'll do both, after some experimentation to find the best profit::outrage ratio.)

> And the current FTC regulations in question didn't do anything in regards to that issue you linked to?

...they kinda did? In that Verizon had to back off and wait for net neutrality to be repealed before they could try again?

(I assume you meant FCC, not FTC, in all of this. The FTC, of course, doesn't have any authority here until after the common carrier regulations are lifted. So, roughly a month from now.)
No, you got it wrong. The free market operates by brutally cutting corners on service, monopolizing, and lobbying government for preferential treatment.

Well not really - if a Japanese speaker write a word to another Japanese speaker they could conceivably write the word out through either of these alphabets - they're mutually understood and they are able to perfectly (iirc) represent all of the words used in the language.

I don't think anyone would suggest that it's possible to do this with Chinese and Cyrillic characters. I actually think you'd be the first to suggest this is the same thing. I'm really confused why you'd say this.
This makes an Alexa device a robot, especially when integrated in a smart house. I don't like that. (It's an occasional source of disagreement I have with a friend.) I think in order to be a robot, it needs movement. Either it can move something that could reasonably be called "itself", or it has direct peripherals like an arm on the same "itself" that can move things around it. Thus giving an Alexa device a robot arm, or some robot wheels, and letting it move itself or manipulate things around itself, would make it a robot, even if most of the brains are in the cloud.

Of course even with the requirement of mechanical motion, you could still argue a toaster is a robot. It's hard to define robot: http://robohub.org/robohub-roundtable-why-is-it-so-difficult...
That is really interesting. I am working on this right now. It was an interesting piece but I agree with both of your points. Hopefully you can spend the time you save on more interesting questions like, 'why' and 'how do I affect that number' and 'how do I predict this in advance of spending $ recruiting the customer'. Or the real biggie, 'how can I write this in a way that can be run in 1hr per qtr using only a spreadsheet and costing $10 or less, which seems to be what clients really want.
If people were not be there to watch the ads, what would those placements be worth?

It’s not the placement that’s the value that’s being sold, it’s watching the ads that is. So they definitely use your data to sell your attention, which is the currency you’re paying with.
You have choice. I live in this little place that the Internet hardly knows called Berkeley, CA, home of one of the original 4 IMPs of the very first networked connection -- and my only choice above 20mbps is Comcast.
Data Scientist at major company here that was pounding nails in construction circa 2005. This to me is no surprise. At the time I was early 20s and needed that job that would be sort of an apprenticeship. The problem was, these jobs just didn't exist. The young guys (me) got laid of every winter to keep on as many senior crew members as possible and every spring the jobs were less skilled and more labor (think demolition vs. the skills needed for finish work). Young workers need a solid 5-7 years to develop those skills, but from the years 2005 (yea, that early things started slowing down in construction) to 2015 we didn't really train anyone new. My story was a common one; unable to find work in the trades, I eventually gave up and looked for work elsewhere. So there is a gap in the training of skilled labor. How long will it take to recover? Easy, the same 5-10 years we took a break from training new labor.

I'm not suggesting you do (although I know others on this thread are suggesting that).

Administer sobriety tests the same way you currently administer drug tests -- upon application, and randomly. They're a lot cheaper so you can actually get more data for less $/time.
In case anyone is wondering, Bcache allows one to use an SSD as a read/write cache (in writeback mode) or read cache (writethrough or writearound) for another blockdevice (generally a rotating HDD or array).
Wow, that is a completely absurd reaction from the co-founder. He could've gotten some great, free PR for the company out of the story.

Instead, he's about to be on the front page of HN and probably several other media outlets, in a story centered around him and portraying him as a shitty boss that nobody would want to work for or with.

Hopefully everything works out well for Mr. Rogowski.
Medium works nicely without JS. (Granted there are a few sites that rely on JS to display text, but in my experience there are a lot more that do something stupid, like breaking copying or breaking search than those.)

Also NoScript reliably breaks autoplay videos, as I found out when the webextension version needed a few days until the release.
In Portugal, ISPs are starting to split the net into packages
> the content providers may choose to build new carriers of their own

Oh sure. Suppose I'm about to found yaymoviesyay.com to compete with Netflix. I learn that if I don't pay Comcast, its subscribers can't use my site. Same deal for AT&T and Charter.

Before this rule change, my cost to do business was "hosting costs."

Now it's either:

A) hosting costs + payola to ISPs
B) hosting costs + cost of building my own last-mile network

Guess how likely I am to start that new business?

A) Super incredibly unlikely
B) Ridiculously unlikely
C) Extremely, ludicrously unlikely
When you pay low wages, you can only attract workers who have no better options.

> Why not create regulation in response to real scenarios that have actually happened instead of hypothetical ones that are already have plenty of other drawbacks?

The FCC adopted NN principles in 2004 and did reactive, case-by-case enforcement of the principles without general regulation up until the federal courts stopped that approach in 2010. The two regulatory packages in 2010 and 2015 were largely based on the actual things that had been observed in the 2004-2010 period. That is, while they did consider and seek to preempt some new violations of the same principles, they were very much reactions to real scenarios that happened.

A good one (although some may dislike it):

On the way back from a mission to the middle east, they ended up flying over France, even though France had refused them clearance. They were flying low and slow (relative terms obviously), and the pilot looked to his left and saw a French Mirage just off his left wing.

The Mirage pilot called over and requested their diplomatic clearance code. The SR-71 pilot told the Mirage to hold on. The reconnaissance systems officer (RCO, the other guy in the plane) then informed the pilot that the code had been transmitted and they went back up to full speed and left the Mirage quickly behind.

The code that the RCO transmitted? The middle finger.

Marijuana, Single Use in urine wears off after 1-7+ days. So no, it is not just that the person baked in the morning. Regular usage, 7-100 days and that is not "going completely stoned every day at that period".

"There are supplements which basically make you pee alot to pee out the THC"

Frankly, there is level of education and willingness to study I don't expect from dude hired for simple construction or retail job and you are quite getting there. For the record, I know construction workers.

"there are test kits at walgreens for $10 that are fairly accurate to determine if you pass. To fail a pee test you have to be unmotivated enough to not even try."

I mean, why would he wasted $10 on that? Cheaper to do the test and if you fail then look for job elsewhere. Claim here is that now is a good time for blue collar workers so presumably they can try elsewhere. And maybe they will pee enough from beer they drink more then they smoke in the meantime, so they will pass without really knowing why.

"Its a test of self introspection and awareness and intelligence, not solely discipline."

Self introspection and awareness? Yep, there is no difference between that and hypothetical chocolate or sex tests.
All the recent developments are really great. I’m just waiting for:

- Workspace support in DevTools (i.e. unify localhost-loaded resources with an on-disk workspace to enable updating JS & CSS without reloading, editing and saving files from DevTools, etc.)

- queryObjects console API method (from Chrome)

- alternate DevTools themes

If/when those land I’ll likely go back to using FireFox as my primary development browser (been developing on Chrome since 2009).

This type of behavior isn't limited to Google. In Chaos Monkey (which is ancient technology at this point) he goes over how tracking can be accomplished across multiple devices.

That aside, to have a setting that doesn't do what it says is disturbing. If that's don't be evil then what's their definition of evil?
Google or Amazon, or the rest of the tech industry, wouldn't be able to find the capital to build fast/unthrottled internet to eat Comcast's lunch? Alienating an entire industry and customer based like this would be a huge incentive for many parties, the market forces here are very much being downplayed.

Not to mention the technical hurdles (encryption, VPNs) outside of the risk involved of convincing an executive board to engage in a PR disaster and expose themselves to the risk of Google competing with them.

Besides has any company have tried to push TV-style packages, where they throttle websites depending on your package... and the FCC regulations stopped them? This is the scenario I keep reading about as what will happen if these regulations didn't exist. But I've yet to hear of an actual ISP trying this...

Typically with regulations you have the industry pushing back against them because they want to do certain things. But I'm not seeing that here, multiple ISP have already claimed they have no interest in engaging in this type of throttling and I personally don't see how this would ever fly even if they did.

Yes, cable companies have taken advantage of their political pull and monopoly positions to do some shady stuff but I'm very skeptical they could ever pull anything like that off in the internet. That's a whole different ball game than the tightly corporate controlled finite-content TV market and the tech industry and the public have clearly stated they won't sit idly by, regardless of regulations.

One of the main purposes of GTD is to acknowledge the fact that minds are limited.

Since you're a programmer, I will ask: Do you also eschew structured programming because you can keep an arbitrarily complex flow in your head? Or do you accept that modern programming languages are better for designing (at least) programs than straight assembler or machine code?

To summarize, various sources have quoted wikileaks as saying "because it won’t be perceived as coming from a ‘pro-Trump’ ‘pro-Russia’ source". The message is actually "because it won’t be perceived as coming from a ‘pro-Trump’ ‘pro-Russia’ source, which the Clinton campaign is constantly slandering us with".

I'll be honest, that doesn't really change my interpretation of the sentence, they already had "pro-Trump" and "pro-Russia" in quotes, which made it clear to me they didn't believe them to be as such.

It's not the semantics of the sentence that bother me, it's that they went to great lengths to get DNC and Clinton emails but just go ahead and ask the Trump campaign for information. Clearly they are treating the Trump campaign with softer gloves than the Clinton campaign.
