"The purest form of insanity is to leave everything the same and the same time hope that things will change." -Albert Einstein.

I mean, to be frank, I think that both major parties are playing a role in this illusion that you, the voter, have control over the government without grabbing pitchforks and heading to their office in your preferred form of communication. We live in a country where you can decide your own fate. You can work for what you want, no one will stop you. The government seems to have forgot what "govern" means. They get their hands into things they shouldn't be in, and then make the every-man look like a criminal. Why do we continue to rely on a capitalistic fascist society? One that pays us in non-backed currency as well. This is literally alchemy and everyone buys into their bullshit.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequence.
> Should someone be able to voice opposition to immigration?

Absolutely. Few things to note here:

1. The topic of immigration is a valid political discussion with a large amount of studies done from the perspectives of science, economics, and even ethics and philosophy. Taking a stance in it is a political stance and that conversation is crucial to progress.

2. That said, it's not a valid comparison to what was actually being mentioned in my comment which was religious or non scientific views getting a free pass to masquerade as political stances. Those were the ones I said that don't deserve a seat at the table

3. To expand on the discussion of what's valid to be at the table though, immigration is a valid topic. "No people of a certain ethnicity should be allowed to immigrate because they are bad people" is not a political stance. That's a baseless bigoted view that pretends to be a political stance. That can be shown out of the room.

4. One last thing on above. There are close but grey line topics related to the above statements that should be part of discourse. Eg - people from certain areas of the world have a higher risk of being radicalized than others prior to immigration. Statistically provable. Good science. Worthy of discussion. Making the outcome of that "ban everyone of the given ethnicity from that area" though is the kind of discussion we really need to stop these days.

Is this just a super dramatic hot take version of the more level headed articles on the same topic that have been trending on HN recently? I feel like it possibly should be removed as some sort of less-good dupe.
Communism is bad at short term and long term allocation. I should have explicitly said that; my comment was misleading without it. (Cuban exception aside: they are indeed good at soil management, but they were more or less forced into learning to be good due to total economic collapse + lack of inputs required for intensive/destructive agriculture. In general communism was an ecological disaster)

I'm actually not sure we can easily include some externalities in capitalism, and I've worried it's an achilles heel of the system. I say this as a capitalist.

Specifically, the transaction costs of including small externalities are too high. By small, I mean that if I burn a litre of gasoline, I have harmed every human on the planet by an incredibly small margin. Too small to properly charge.

In that specific example, a carbon tax could fix it. But, there are many such externalities. Many harder to measure than carbon burning (which is hard in itself).

Other things equal, if it is cheaper to ignore an externality, the system will gravitate to those solutions. And with computers, globalization and cheap container shipping, it has become much easier and much faster to optimize the system. Such optimizations are mostly excellent (I am a capitalist), but we're also optimizing the system in ways which produce negative externalities as well.
The issue is not that people are criticizing people who have certain ideas. That is fine. That is free speech. The issue is that people are taking actions that actively harm those people. Whether by excluding them from events, preventing them from speaking, firing them from their jobs, etc.

If you fight words with words, that is good. If you fight words with actions against the people who said those words, then you are against free speech.

Note: the principle of free speech is much broader than just the Bill of Rights.
Curious on the downvotes here, it's true your opinion doesn't matter when it comes to domestic regulation. It's why Quebec has dual-language laws, to limit the external influence of others and offer them protections. Hell, we have languages just now dying off that were replaced by a dominating English influence.

The nature of the mission list/tapes makes far more sense when you consider that it is a follow-up to Peace Walker (not to MGS4) which used a similar structure. Arguably, it's part of the reason that it's MGS_V_, not MGS_5_ - Peace Walker was at one point known as "Metal Gear Solid 5: Peace Walker"[0].

It does definitely go overboard though, with the missions that are there being repeated and many of them not being that memorable. There are also plot threads that are clearly just dropped (e.g. major character disappearing with an important item that is only addressed in an unfinished state on a bonus disc/cutscenes that seemingly have no way to be unlocked in-game),and given how Konami just dropped Kojima Productions it's a reasonable assumption that it wrapped early (though whether that is due to Konami plugging the plug early or because it overran budget/time estimates is less clear).

"As sex (n.) took on erotic qualities in 20c., gender came to be the usual English word for "sex of a human being," in which use it was at first regarded as colloquial or humorous"

That's not referring to its use in academia, that's its use in the general population, which was "at first regarded as colloquial or humorous".

You can also take a look at the Google N-Gram viewer link I posted, which quantifies its use within general publications. Before the 1960s, it barely appeared, and then its use shot up to rival "sex".

Yeah, I replied to another comment to say that I didn't think capitalism is worse than communism. I think the opposite is probably true. I should have explicitly stated that I think capitalism is generally great, but that externalities may be its achilles heel. (As in, communism was bad, including externalities. Capitalism is good, but it does have a critical weaknses which is growing in size as we optimize our global capitalist system.)

You're still looking at this only from the point of view of one thread you happen to care about. I understand that! But HN has hosted truckloads of extremely active threads about all of this. Many have spent loads of time on the front page. In fact this topic set is one of the most highly represented on HN. So the situation is the opposite of how it seems to you and not ironic at all; the irony is that it seems that way.

Imagine not being able to use phrases like "experiments done in mice fetuses", "effects of entitlements on disease propagation", or "diversity of bacteria found in culture samples". This is ridiculous and borders on inhibiting the CDC from being able to do its job.

Well, it's hard to think of anything radically unique. But some memorable things that come to mind:

- the way Graham, Knuth & Patashnik's Concrete Mathematics has the students' comments, silly or enlightening, in the margins. Its also very well designed and put together.

- I absolutely love the design of Sedgewick & Wayne's Algorithms (4th ed.) The fonts, colour palette, diagrams illustrating algorithms etc, are all miraculously awesome. The next algorithms book I looked at seemed so tedious and incompetent I wanted to complain.

- I love raganwald's JavaScript Allongé apart from the pictures. But there are pictures throughout of coffee, coffee machines, coffee bushes etc with coffee-related captions, all totally unrelated to the text, that somehow work, like a breath of fresh air through the book.

- Needham's Visual Complex Analysis is a marvel of clarity in word and picture.

- Eloquent Javascript (I read the online version[0]) is impressively well-designed. A good mix of covering-the-basics and projects. A clean, simple and beautiful form.

I believe Anil Dash is propagating hate speech when he accuses Asian men as a group of being responsible/complicit in the exclusion of minorities and women from tech.

There are many dangerous stereotypes about Asians and he promotes harmful stereotypes. An Indian man was even murdered in Kansas because of Asian stereotypes.

Because of his embracing of hate speech, I urge that he either step down as CEO of FogCreek or he be fired. We cannot tolerate such hate speech.

> We can't do that if the ISP inspects our packets and refuses to send them no matter how we send them.

VPN

> What are you going to do when Comcast decides that hey let's charge $50 more for VPNs

You can't charge "for VPNs" - VPN traffic is just encrypted traffic. Comcast can charge more for encrypted traffic, but that would be completely insane, ruinous for business and Comcast won't ever do it because that would be insane. And of course, it didn't do it until 2015, because it'd be insane. And if they were insane enough to do this, I'd just use AT&T or Verizon or T-Mobile or whatever there would be around. Of course, I won't actually have to do any of that because Comcast is not going to do this insane thing.

> and another $4.99 for messaging apps (pre-approved of course)

Comcast doesn't approve apps, in fact Comcast has no idea what am I running and whether there are such thing as "apps" on the OS that I am running. But many mobile providers do provide free traffic for certain messaging apps. I've used it when traveling overseas, very useful to send my wife a message "I've landed, everything's fine" without having to pay for a whole daily internet package that I am not going to use. Of course, from NN point of view it is an outrage that must be banned. I fail to see why. And of course, 2015 regulations didn't prevent that from happening either.

> What will you do if an ISP decides that all encrypted traffic is bad

Wake up? Why invent scenarios that everybody knows would never happen? ISPs had 30 years until 2015 to do it, and we were fine. But now of course suddenly they all go crazy and start destroying their own business because they want $4.99 from you.

I have struggled with FP for many years. What I try and do, is approach these concepts with an open mind and I look for ways of 'saying' what I see which I then rehearse with my FP friends and stick to the one which does not make them wince when I say it.

So this says three true things we know about this 'fac'

Firstly it says it takes an int and it returns an int.

Secondly that if the int it takes is specifically zero then the int it returns is specifically one.

Thirdly and lastly, for all other ints it returns that int, times (in the arithmetic sense) a recursive call to itself of the int one less.

I worry about why it doesn't have to say abs(n) but then I remember two negatives multiplied together are positive.
I think the reason we disagree is because we have different definitions of the term "good foundation." I will also say that compared to grasping the overall picture, dealing with "gotchas" in various languages (while annoying!) are pretty easy in practice... You encounter something unexpected, reason why it's unexpected (convincing yourself of it takes time inversely proportional to your grounding), look it up, and move on.
Apples and oranges. I'd never use text on a phone for any kind of long conversation; it's just for quick messages, synchronizing meet-ups, and such. Part of it is that I don't enjoy reading or writing on a mobile device; it's a kind of second-class experience. Part of it is certainly that my patterns of availability have changed.

And part is because someone's status could give you insight into whether they'd like to talk or not before you sent a single message. Maybe some of the modern mobile-oriented systems still do that? I don't know; I don't have any friends that use them.
You have to trust the banks not to freeze the funds.
There's a shop near me that has had its card payments out of commission for about a week. They are having to bring in staff for additional hours due to the fact that the transactions typically take longer and you have the cash to handle at end of day. I doubt it's a negligible additional cost.
That illustrates how useless such predictions are. What "Trump has 30% chance of winning" means? If Trump won, did this prediction work or not? If he lost, did it work or not? How one could distinguish successful prediction from a failed one, even post-factum? I don't see any way.
Now, if we had 100 identical Trumps running in 100 USA elections, and 30 of them would win and 70 of them would lose, we'd say good work 538, you were spot on. But since we have one Trump winning one election - I do not see any way of seeing how 538 was "better" than NYT since I can't see how you can say whether both were successful or not. NYT gave Trump 1% to win, he won - so that 1% worked. Big deal, people win lottery all the time, with much lower chances. So maybe NYT was completely right and 538 is full of it, maybe it's really an one in a 100 event? How would you know?
Should it have been called Kleene? Is this like Dennis Ritchie and creat() ?
DNS is indeed being used for load balancing, not HA. However, piggybacking on the parent’s example of Google, they actually achieve HA on the IP level.

They have multiple data centers broadcast the same IPs using BGP, and if one goes down Dijkstra’s algorithm will re-route to another data center that listens to the same IP.

Having said that, I actually think that using multiple MX records for HA is a very elegant and robust solution for mere mortals that do not own multiple data centers and their own AS. Server side HA is way more expensive to get right than client side HA, and if it’s important for the protocol (which, in the case of email, it is), you better make damn sure it’s not expensive to implement for service providers.
Incredible, I just have the idea to do the same thing with AWS Serverless Architecture, you have implemented it so great! I believe it will be a success.
