Sorry that was a particularly bad example on my part! I was just thinking of sports that I take part in where there is a difference.

Snowboards are symmetrical, but there is a choice between left-foot-forward and right-foot-forward. Not something that makes a significant difference in practice, once I'd realized I could stand "the other way" snowboarding was easy, before then I struggled.

Not really. If you have fully engaged the people in your nation then the only losers are rich people asset shuffling. GDP is a global corporatists viewpoint. It ain't the viewpoint of the poor person struggling to get a small bedsit in a now overcrowded neighbourhood.
Here's one: getting rid of net neutrality increases the freedom of ISP's to monetize their control of your internet connection.
I have a Surface 3. It has enough memory for my web browser, but not much more. Atom is out of the question, Spotify grinds it to a halt, slack is a horrible experience.

But you know what works great? Emacs, a shell, Python, video players, bittorrent, ffmpeg. I. e. native apps.

Well, that sucks for me, right? I could just hop on my 64 GB, 32-thread desktop PC right? As a matter of fact, I could, because I am an entitled white western dude. But the rest of the world can't. I wonder how the Atom vs Emacs debate plays out in China or India or Africa.

NN is an excellent example of framing by naming. Imagine if it was called the the "More Internet Regulation Act". Prima facie it's a more accurate name.

Since this is going to happen (reverting to the way it was for ~25 years), I'll point out that an echo chamber forms by default because most of us who might spend time arguing about it don't see a good reason to.

Aside... the largest cable provider decided it would be a good idea to edit a cleartext page on the way to me ('helpfully' inserting a JS popup about upcoming metering changes), I called and canceled my decade old ~$90/mo acct on the spot when the refused to put it in writing that they would not edit my inbound data in the future.

I didn't realise it already worked in other contexts.

Mistakes in terms of understanding the code and writing what you think you're writing. I've only just begun learning Rust, and one of the most difficult things has been figuring out what types my variables have when everything is implicit and based on type inference. Variables that act both as pointers and non-pointers seem pretty confusing. It's like temporarily and invisibly turning off parts of the type-checker.

ETA: To me it feels a bit like the icky type coercion magic some languages have that lets you write code that kind of works even though you don't understand what you're doing. I don't know Rust though, so this may be totally different.

The major JS frameworks look like languages onto themselves. JavaScript lacks operator overloading, so there are some limits, but it is quite possible to turn JS into something very unrecognizable.

C++ templates allow for almost anything. I have seen incredibly strange things done to the language with templates. Since Templates can be used to parse, and execute, entirely different programming languages, it is hard to imagine a level of abuse to which C++ templates are not amenable.

I would argue that they store the coins in the custody vault as close to the exchange point as possible so the fast transfers are frictionless...and that would cost a premium.
I wouldn't be surprised if evidence comes out that changes alcohol consumption drastically. Yes people have been drinking alcohol for centuries, but it was originally as a way to preserve calories, avoid drinking unsafe water, and as a crude medical treatment.

Today the main reason people drink is to get merry and drunk, and forget about life's problems. The alcohol we drink is (usually) no longer natural, it's processed and refined on an industrial level.

I'm sure everybody knows someone who was an alcoholic and the issues it caused them. On the other hand, it's common knowledge that smoking causes major health issues, yet people still do it...

> Office holders are not beholden to people yelling in the streets but to the people who get them elected

That's completely incorrect, the easiest thing in politics is to get people to vote for you, especially in a two-party system that effectively prevents challengers to the status quo in an election. All in all, the only power that people effectively have is the power to revolt. Democracy is a peaceful system of government but it can only be maintained through the threat of revolution. When that threat doesn't exist, politicians will do whatever they want.

That's not really my experience, my Rust projects tend to take a lot longer to gain critical features while projects I develop in Go can be MVP way faster.

Rust is quite a good language though, I'll admit that, I'm currently learning it by way of writing a kernel in it. But there are more productive languages out there.

They don't.

Almost everyone I know does banking exclusively on their phones. I do that too.
It's not at all that obvious. Bitcoin is _not_ like actual physical localized nation-state backed cash, nor does it function like one.

In your list of examples Bitcoin is the hero that saves individuals from the oppression of a government or regulation, but sometimes it's the bad individuals (e.g. tax evasion) against a government and suddenly it's not so bad if there are ways to seize assets and close their accounts.

Has it actually been proven that natural fats are bad for you? I always thought fat is healthier than sugar. Both sugar and fat are required part of healthy diet but I’d rather eat some pork sausage than ice cream or chocolate. It seems much healthier to me but I could be totally wrong and this is just some irrational belief I hold.
Org-Mode can work, but it's not for everybody. I tried using it for GTD for more than a year, but ended up gradually abandoning it. It was too much friction when I least need it.

One problem is that it encourages to put both to-dos and reference material in the same place. I found this makes things a mess more often than not.

Also, it forced me to learn Emacs way more than I otherwise needed, instead of focusing on work.

I did enjoy some aspects of it though. All my to-do history from that time is still searchable. And I didn't have to upload my work and personal data to some random SaaS provider.

I actually ended up building a desktop GTD tool [1] based on those needs. It looks good, is low-friction and pleasant to use, runs on Linux, stores data in a local Sqlite DB. No subscription. But it's on Electron. I know HN seems to hate Electron apps.

Ask HN: Will FCC's plan on killing net neutrality affect Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc?
Floating point numbers are suboptimal to represent timers. They use more bits than needed, aren't accurate on the bits they use, and require more effort for operations.

Unsigned integers are better to represent timers. If the accuracy is 1/30s as in the example, then with a 32 bit unsigned integer you could cover over 55 days with perfect numerical accuracy and minimal computational effort. With 32 bit floating point numbers you get only 6 days, while needing to worry about accuracy and higher computational demand. At 64 bits it is 649936019 years for unsigned integers vs 8925512 years for floating point. If your game doesn't depend on state that is longer ago than the time covered, then using unsigned integers allows unlimited runtime.

Don't blindly use floats.
There used to be a Linux version. You can still find it, it's v.1.6 or so (predating v.2), needs 32-bit libraries and is unsupported. But you can get it running. The problem is if you bring the project file into a new version it will convert the file format and there's no going back.

Letting your children walk to and from school is one thing (I did this, my children do this too). Not noticing radical mood swings (and likely mental disorders) of your child is another thing - one that, in all honesty, doesn't qualify you as "good parent", at all.

I find myself clicking terribly targeted ads just to screw the metrics and waste the advertiser's money.

I agree. It's a purely populist play, and we're in a populist mood as a country.
No, the above comment is specifically referring to the idea that 64 GB or 128 GB is enough when a heavily advertised and useful function of modern phones is 4k video, which uses a lot of space, making 64 GB/128 GB last not nearly as long. It's not blaming them for anything, just stating that internal only memory when modern features easily use more space than is included may not be sufficient.

> at least on android phones you can use various solutions, like plugging into your pc. On iPhone you’re essentially stuck with iCloud or iTunes.

I know what you're hinting at (taking a stab at iTunes), but this is still the same thing. You plug the phone into a computer and offload the data, with the difference being the required software.

Miscommunication can lead to offshoring failure
The key to any successful relationship is effective communication. For efficient outsourcing, it is essential to have effective communication between you and your outsourcing provider.

That being said, miscommunication is one of the most common causes that leads to an unsuccessful outsourcing relationship.

In our previous discussion on this topic, we’ve seen how miscommunication can lead to a dysfunctional outsourcing relationship. Some of the most common reasons for miscommunication that were discussed are:

You're right on that.

One could draw a comparison between what these packages mean - they only bundle the big services, making it even harder for small alternatives to compete. Same would be possible if ISPs would start to play the big money game the other way round - serving faster access on cable lines, which I would view essentially as the "landline" version of free traffic on mobile connections.

Yes, and the Republicans conveniently ignore that most consumers in the US have very little choice in ISPs. These days you probably have the option of DSL from your phone company or the offering from your cable company.

I highly recommend Scrivener for any project that has words. It is a great project management tool for taking and organizing notes, research projects, wiki writing, blog writing, journals, college papers, novels, GTD lists, etc. Personally, I think the most useful features cork board, the research folder, tags, and the formatter, but there are many other tools in Scrivener that make managing projects easy, regardless of size.

Scrivener also supports plugins, so 3rd-party companies can make templates and other tools for it. For example, if you like Randy Ingermanson's Snowflake Method of writing, you can get a Scrivener template that uses the Snowflake Method to help structure/outline your writing.

Finally, Literature & Latte is a great company to work with. They are responsive to questions and issues, and seem to really care about their customers.

Specifically the third-world government fumbling the response to the missing submarine.

Nitpick: I know the connotations it's picked up since then, but the term "third world" still should not be used to describe Russia. As coined, the "first world" was NATO + NATO-aligned nations (so, US and US allies/sphere of influence); the "second world" was the Warsaw Pact + aligned nations (so, USSR and USSR allies/sphere of influence); and the "third world" was the nations not included in the first two classifications, and in which the US/USSR tended to try to cultivate ties or fight proxy wars with each other.
> we're pointing out that the EU is not this bullst idea of 'Europeans coming together in solidarity' it's just a selfish entity, mostly for the benefit of the elites.

But you do agree that's bullshit as well, don't you?

I mean, the EU's goals is to serve the collective best interests of all and every single member-state. Now you're seeing a nation that intentionally placed itself out of that privileged group, and you're complaining that their best interests aren't being considered by everyone else.

I mean, that's like taking up a spa membership to enjoy massages, then deciding to drop the service, and then complaining that the spa is a selfish entity that caters to the elites just because you expected to keep receiving massages after you got your wish of dropping your membership.
