I agree with you with regards to how we got here, but the problem is that where the government fails to prove you're a mule for the cartel or that you're moving Mafia blood money, they ought to give it back.

You lose everything based on accusation alone. In keeping the money without cause, civil forfeiture becomes just another shakedown.
In what way does the UK talk about WW1/WWII?
In Australia the Anzac story seems to be pushed harder and harder every year.
I think the argument the article is trying to make (maybe not entirely successfully) is that your "village" concept used to be the default and now the default is strong-self-supporting nuclear family without a stronger community. The argument, as I see it, isn't that you can't put in the work and find a bigger community, it's that in general as a society we don't, by default (in part because it is more work now).
Well it destroyed your fatuous argument, so yeah, feels bad man.

No.

Maybe not the best place to ask, but is it known what engine is used behind his website?

I can assume it's probably something custom made? I like the way topics are structured, the navigation is clear, nice comment section.

Are there any known tools or service capable of building a full-featured website like this? Any good open source projects? (please no jokes about Wordpress)

Average people don't know about this. Even if they did,they don't understand the implications.

This is truly concerning,as in I have serious doubts about this society's short term survival. I don't mean as in democracy or cultural survival but wars,civil unrest and all the other nasty horrors humans cause on each other. It seems only a matter of time until those things happen,except this time the masses are controlled and their behavior analyzed and influenced ever so more efficiently.

The west hasn't seen the type of surveillance that goes on under terrible regimes,where they use your friends and family to monitor you,and when you fall out of line you get "disappeared". I think people here in the west just assume that type of stuff only happens in north korea and other 3rd world countries. Maybe Germans who lived in east Germany can relate.

Anyways, the common man's ability to stop tyranny or even help victims of tyranny goes away when the common man can't hide his views,inclinations,associations and activities even if he/she wanted to.

Think of all the great wars,movements and struggles in history and all the heroic acts that shaped the present. Could any of them succed if everyone was using facebook and google and the "bad side" controlled these companies?

I can't decide whether it is overconfidence in democracy and western governments or reckless ignorance of history that has made the existence of these companies in their current form tolerable.

I think we're nearing(or have passed) the "point of no return". Maybe we are living in one of those "prelude" years before an era of unthinkable chaos and worlds turning upside down begins. The risks,potential casualties and how much it would take for peace to return all seem exponentially higher.

I think some sober thinking is needed. Facebook,google,amazon and friends can all operate well(even better) while eliminating most of their capacity they have to monitor user activity and without mining and analyzying user behavior. Really,they have the money and the technology exists to allow that to happen. What lacks is the will.
I suppose subsequent research will have to somehow consider self censorship of users that don't trust unsent form input now.
hard to blame companies when they can be sued if a person with a criminal record, say for assault, gets hired and later assaults somebody while on the company's time/premises/etc.
How to Be the Best Player at Your RPG Table
Just installed. Everything seems to be stable enough. A few little niggles, on Android, the OPML export is a bit finnicky. I was using Pocket Casts and it pops up a Share menu for you to export so I had to export to my file manager first before then selecting it. The app's interface is functional but could do with some polishing, for example, you can't rearrange your set of favorite podcasts.

Biggest annoyance for me thus far is loading speed. It always takes at least a second or so to load up a page. Seems like a small thing but it has an impact overall.
> I think that is extremely likely to lead to subconscious bia

I agree, but wonder if that process makes the interview more effective rather than less effective overall, bias notwithstanding.

It's not like the average unbiased one hour interview has a stellar track record of predicting success, and attempts to create a standardized interview track break down beyond the mid-senior individual contributor or junior manager levels, IME. If I'm interviewing for a Director or VP, I want to have some background information on the candidate to ask specific questions rather than a generic, "Tell me about a time when..." that works at more junior levels.
Yeah, and that's before you even start dealing with subscriptions. Or the sandbox, don't get me started on the sandbox. And the dozen indistinguishable error states that return "couldn't connect to iTunes" as the error message when what actually went wrong was that the user's card was declined or parental restrictions were on or even that the user canceled out of the Storekit confirmation dialog.

Good ones get paid like devs in my experience which, depending on your mental model, is likely somewhere between a sysadmin and a quant. However successful trading firms tend to pay well, especially those who contribute to their bottom line. Good devs are usually not the highest paid, but could well be in the second highest paid tier.
Because "the left" has all but abandoned the working class. The used to care about shopping malls taking out the little guys and global trade undermining local jobs but the former is now seen as unwilling to adapt to the new economy and the later is seen as racist. "White male" is now used as an insult when it should form the core of the left.

The alt-right has just filled the void.

Out of curiosity, why do you think speeding fines shouldn't scale with income? The pain that's intended to dissuade behavior is that you can do X amount less this month, but if your income is enormous you don't feel X at all, it's not really a punishment is it? If I were a billionaire and I could drive around with impunity with my checkbook open is that achieving the desired outcome? Scaling with income scales the pain and therefore the dissuasion. Legitimately curious to the counterargument.

Crime is dissuaded in percentage of your life behind bars, shouldn't infractions be dissuaded in percentage of your income or net worth?

We’ve told friends and family that we only want gifts that are:

- consumable (this includes clothes),
- or experiential

This has greatly improved the value (in our mind) of the gifts. We especially like gifts that are enjoyed with the gift giver.

I strongly suggest that anyone considering denying someone employment for the reason "I don't like felons" seek legal counsel before putting this reason in writing to the rejected applicant.
It looks like in their last sprint meeting (end of Sept[0][1]) there was a lot of planning and talk about moving parts of mercurial to rust. From the history of sprints[2] it sounds like facebook first started experimenting with some mercurial implementations in rust and may be one of the big contributors spearheading this (though I also see indygreg and durin42 around the phabricator projet giving mercurial advice). I'm a fan of both rust and mercurial so this is exciting news to hear.

Advancing the suburban SFH as the American Dream was probably Not Great, because the suburbs in general are sort of a mess on a lot of levels.

But I'd agree, it's not clear if that was a product of advancing the nuclear family, or if the nuclear family was a consequence of that.

Either way, I feel like that version of the American dream has been something young people have moved sharply away from the last couple decades, no?

Civil asset forfeiture is never justified. If you don't have a case, you don't have a case.

'Acting suspicious" warrants asking questions, NOT taking things when those questions don't turn up anything. The idea that it stops organized crime is also rediculous. No crime Lord was ever brought down by civil asset forfeiture. They work that statistic into their prices like any other for-profit Enterprise would and go on with business as usual.

I'd also clear up the "given orders" bit. You cannot really make a good case for police departments ordering their officers to simply take any and all money they see. That is left to the officers discretion. In this case, the officer decided to abuse his power over the general population. To take your orders idea to the end; Let's assume that the police department as a whole requires such theft. We aren't in a country without freedom of the press. Any one of those officers could (and indeed had a duty to) record and publish the illegal order. If such an order exists, then EVERY officer is willingly complicit.

Finally, let's say that we do need limited ability to lock up people's things. That should most definitely involve a case against the individual rather than against the possession itself. It should involve the rights to an expidited trial. Most importantly, it should involve a large burden of proof like any criminal case rather than simple majority.

I think true happiness often can really only come from developing a skill; to be an old school artisan is the way forth.

IMO, this article is designed to get readers attention with a technical bent, but is used to reinforce the Saudi Lobby position.

An interest research that shows the number of times in the past 70 years the NY Times has depicted various Saudi dictator as reformist [0]

Indeed, M.B.S. instructed me is the most bizarre choice word by Thomas Friedman in his op-ed [1]. As a writer, I'm so surprised he would even use such a word or the NY Times op-ed editors would actually allow that.

BTW, there seem to be an orchestrated media Blitzkrieg to show the new Saudi Ruler. Who is basically follow the same playbook as Saddam Hossein did (eliminating all possible opposition) or Stalin for that matter as a moderate person or country. Saudi Arabia, and other moderate Arab states would also welcome a more engaged U.S. into their backyard [2]
Calling Saudi Arabia a "moderate" country is a bit of stretch

I think that's a very insightful statement.

Right now regular people only have a few different options to invest in:

1. Stocks

2. Bonds

3. Cash

4. Your own bootstrapped business

5. Cryptocurrencies

6. Lottery

The first 2 are obviously limited growth opportunities... Corporations are already massive, people will never get the 100x or 1000x returns that they need to actually notice any lifestyle difference... And even if they did, by that point the world would be a horrible place not worth living in and you'd be near the bottom of the pile because you got in too late.

Interest rates are too low so holding cash is pointless.

In this VC-dominated and corporation-dominated landscape, the odds of successfully bootstrapping your own business are near zero and everyone knows it.

Lottery usually appeals to the working class due to the large potential payoffs. But everyone knows that the odds are terrible and that there are middlemen taking a cut.

Cryptocurrencies on the other hand are like a giant international startup which aims to disrupt the entire financial system and which is in a very good position to do so because everyone is in on it. The returns are great and the odds are much better than lottery.
> There has been no attempt to move the smallest parts of the ECOSYSTEM to provide replacements for base POSIX utilities.

You deliberately cut out the part which states he's talking about the ecosystem of OpenBSD, in an OpenBSD mailing list. That is an extremely disingenuous and uncharitable cherry-picked interpretation. He was categorically talking about efforts to port OpenBSD utilities to such a language and merge them into the project (i.e. the OpenBSD ecosystem). What you're suggesting he said is just plain FUD.

For those wondering what's the difference between macvlan and ipvlan, the main ipvlan paper [0] summarizes its raison d'être:

> This is especially problematic where the connected next-hop e.g. switch is expecting frames from a specific mac from a specific port.

e.g.: if the host is attached to a managed switch with a strict security policy, macvlan would not work.

I don't know if I'm an "apologist" for anything, but what you're describing has been the case for decades by now; it's an inherent property of cell phone networks.

Thirty seven years ago Motor Trend declared the Chevy Citation their “Car of the Year”. My family owned one. Ignoring the aluminum block Vegas, that has to have been the biggest piece of shit ever to roll off a Chevy assembly line. Don’t believe me? Ask my Dad, who worked for GM at the time. But Motor Trend seemed to like it.

I’ve tried to remember that any time I’ve read a Motor Trend article and asked, “WTF?”

I feel like we've had this conversation before? HN has software that kills some comments based on patterns of past abuses by trolls. Sometimes there are false positives. That unfortunately was the case here.

Instead of posting an off-topic comment about it, why not just solve the problem by vouching for the original comment? That's why we added that feature: to rescue good comments that happen to be [dead].

All: to vouch for a dead comment, click on its timestamp to go it its link, then click 'vouch' at the top. There's a small karma threshold (currently 30) before such links appear.

> If you are acquitted after being arrested, does that make your arrest a kidnapping?

If the officers have no reason to suspect that you actually committed a crime and arrest you solely for their own gain, then yes, it's a kidnapping.

The problem here is that there's no evidence showing that assets should be "forfeited", cops are stealing people's stuff because they can.
My initial request for clarification was in no way hostile, nor a criticism of you. I am sorry you are so very angry, but I see no reason why I should be the target of your anger.

Also, there is no requirement here to be in tech. There are men on the leaderboard in other professions. There are plenty of respected members here who are teachers, doctors or lawyers. The suggestion that a woman or black person needs to be "tech savvy" is just another means to exclude them.

Since you are black, it really isn't in your best interest to suggest that people who are not white males need to pass additional tests to be here. And if you think flamewars will degrade the site, then look to the man in the mirror. Your anger is part of the problem.

I do all in my power to be the antithesis of an angry woman just here to start fights. I imagine my commitment to trying to engage in good faith in spite of it being an uphill battle to do so is a key element of how I became the first woman on the leaderboard.

Conservative != Conservatism. Conservatism is the dominate ideology the U.S. was founded on: you get no representation or political participation unless you're a man + white + own land. That is landed elite aristocracy, straight from old Europe. Not news.

A more recent example of Conservatism is Nixon's southern strategy as told by Lee Atwater in 1981. Today's Republican party is the same as that. No matter how you cut it, the Republican party is the political branch of neofeudalism. That is it's entire history: conserve the fact that classism is good and should be preserved, we do not serve the broader public.

Senator Grassley: Ending Estate Tax Recognizes Investors Over Spenders.

Republicans want to preserve the aristocracy they represent. That's the sole charge of the party. Liberalism fears aristocracy, it breeds contempt and unfairness in civil society, and its prevention with a simple and unavoidable tax is how a civil society is preserved.

The very fact you think there is a balance to make sure aristocrats don't end up with all the marbles suggests a distinctly Liberal perspective. That would never fly in Conservatism. You're simply confused about the meaning of these words - this is basic political science so if you haven't had that, you wouldn't know it, but if you've had even a year of undergraduate study you'd know it. It's pathetic we don't teach this stuff in grade school but it's too "political" hilariously enough, so most elected school boards in the country end up requiring the teaching of selective patriotic propaganda bullshit, rather than basic political philosophy and history.
I think you put too much importance into the name. Yahoo is not exactly superior name, neither is Google wich sounds like baby-speak. Amazon is kinda unrefined too - ih, you called your company "amazing" and added a clever pun, how cute. And FaceBook? Eugh. Etc etc. Turns out nobody cares.
