Your right to swing your fist ends with my nose. Your right to touch your lips or hands somewhere ends with the other person's lips/other body parts.

You are free to experience and enjoy your heterosexuality, but not free to force any woman to be part of this experience, which you are doing any time you treat a female colleague differently than you would a male colleague. Go experience your sexuality in your free time with other people in their free time.

If you think you can only meet women at work or work-related events and only have time to flirt with them there, you spend too much time working.
One can't prove a negative. The Boring company has a plan and a goal. Saying it can't be done is not useful or productive. There has not been much change in tunneling tech in the last 20 years and Musk seems to think it is possible to get some great improvements. He has done it in two other very different fields with SpaceX and Tesla. Creating a new technology is not about the logic of debates but doing things and failing over and over again, in a productive way, to get to success.

Musk can access great people and large amounts of capital, thinks things out from first principles, doesn't believe in "safety first", and thinks tunnels could be of great value. Traffic (on car and trains) is killing our cities and nothing is being done about it. No new transportation infrastructure built in the Bay Area since 1980 except a few small BART extensions. We could put anything in these tunnels. Not sure why people are so worried that he is going to get some people together and try.
> If you try to suggest something other than REST in the office you become the subject of a witch hunt.

It was the same way 15 years ago if you suggested anything other than SOAP. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
> I have never tried to stand up a SOAP Service with them but I can't imagine it's any good.

Python has decent SOAP server implementation with one-to-one request/response schema modeling https://github.com/baverman/dropthesoap
Apart from tolling based on footprint, that sounds exactly like what we have now. Automation might increase the capacity, but individual cars will never be as efficient the public transit we already know how to build. You're never going to get the cars closer together than people on a train.
I doubt that most consumers of REST APIs are doing anything statically typed. I would guess that the vast majority of REST consumers are written in browser javascript. Server side, I bet at least half are written in a dynamic language.

Why even have these non-professional outlets

Because conference attendees are human.

Not only are they human, many of them young. And humans like to have fun, which include boozing, dancing, socialising, and -- for many -- hooking up (a surprising number or researchers end up marrying other researchers, in my department probably about 1/2). Presenting a paper is great pressure, and once that done ... time to celebrate. Conferences are a great opportunity to see old friends. In 20 years of being an academic, I've never once been to a conference that didn't have social events of some sort. Official events are often followed up by private socialising.

Indeed, making friends is in some sense the most important function of conferences. Who wants to work with somebody they don't like?
>As a man, I've been fortunate enough never to have been put in a situation where I've had to doubt that interest in my work was merely a ploy to get me in bed.

Um, this kind of thing happens quite often to men.
That's true, but it's worth mentioning that income tax also doesn't seem to be a large portion of most country's GDP. It seems to range between 1% to 14%, except Denmark (25%) which is an outlier. See: https://data.oecd.org/tax/tax-on-personal-income.htm#indicat.... The global average is only 8%!

Another interesting fact is that in the graph for corporate profit, Luxembourg actually has the highest rates, which must be because of its small size and huge number of companies that are registered there to benefit from the countries low tax rate.

Despite this I think corporate should be higher judging how much large multinationals earn. Otherwise the income inequality is only going to grow further.
I searched and I did not know about them. Thanks for letting me know. These are actually the first paying service I have seen on this (at least the server side, I had seen it for webapps).

I'll probably start out with Java/Scala on the webapp side and on the server side I'm thinking of an easy to use support for Kubernetes and Rancher OS. If that's more around your ally subscribe there on the website or here.

I'm curious on what is your company, regardless, any pain points that you might have noticed while using AppCanary, or suggestions on SecureIT?
I am always interested in proposals for getting rid of passwords. However I am not smart enough to review the technology without the domain experts on HN breaking it down for me
Both the title here as well as the article itself have "the the" repeated. :O
But would adding antialiasing kill the performance? It’s a small thing, but it’s kind of like a movie where you can totally suspend disbelief and one bad actor or effect jolts you out it.
I'm the same! None of the native RPN apps even come close.
There’s still no solid evidence that cell phones pose any risk.
That's a pretty terrible example. Instead try telling people in SF how great Trump is, and see how many friends you make.

(Not that this reflects my opinion of Trump.)
That's not solving the issue: single-passenger cars are just extremely inefficient passenger density. Technology might allow you to pack them to 2× or 3× density, but the space efficiency of a single railcar is closer to 100× that of a single-passenger car.
Argument isn't the same as "alienation" though. The post is a bunch of whining about how you "can't say" stuff because people won't like you if you do. Well, duh.

What you and the poster say you want is Free Speech in some kind of abstract principled sense. What you actually want is a safe space where people won't argue with you for believing different things.

Thus, strawman.
He was the President of the European Commission which requires approval of European Parliament (elected directly) and European Council (the heads of countries).

What the fuck is EU supposed to do with him? Throw him out and tell leaders and directly elected MEPs from 20+ countries to shove it? And who exactly is the EU in that case? Who and how could challenge these decisions while the majority of actual people in Europe don't give enough of a shit about Barroso and elect (if they even go to the elections..) these governments, heads of state and MEPs that put him where he was?
As I mentioned on the top, it isn't ready yet. I just wanted to put a spec out there for discussion. I also wanted to take ideas on implementation, such as what you just provided.

I'll keep you posted on progress, if your email is in your profile. Hoping to have everything (plug-in and serverside examples) ready in a week or two.
Maybe it's just me but that picture makes the exact opposite point from what you're saying. It clearly points out that the difference between cars and other forms of transportation is linear. Public transportation doesn't scale this especially well, as anybody using public transport knows, but this article is a nice summary [1].

We all know what would happen to bus stops, stations, and generally to public places if people on buses actually had anywhere near the density "made possible" by public transport. It just won't work.

While for instance, adding roads in the sky (ie. very long bridges) scales exponentially, for obvious reasons. As does just flying (flying, incidentally, is a lot more efficient than people think). People don't want this, for obvious reasons, but there comes a point in cities where we have no choice. Frankly, cities like depicted in "the fifth element" and "star wars" are the future. Probably more rails, less floating, but the general idea is where we'll be going.

Doesn't even really matter if they have public or private transport. Given how fast public transport upgrades (even when absolutely required by the numbers of people they just refuse to upgrade for decades. Yes. Decades) and how comfortable it is, and add of course the fact that they just don't support the use cases cars enable (some of which, like an elderly or disabled person doing groceries, are absolute requirements) and you get to the point : private transport is far preferable to public transport.

Why Aren’t Any Bankers in Prison for Causing the Financial Crisis? (2016)
That's the question isn't it. Ask someone what Net Neutrality is and they'll say "ISP's can't discriminate on data by source".

Ask them what it will do and it turns out that it will fix every problem you don't like about your ISP. They charge too much? Fixed. They throttle bittorrent? Fixed. Poor service? Fixed. Too slow? Too much latency?

And beauty of it is that when it's been effect for 20 years and I look around and all those things still happen ... well, imagine how bad it would have been without Net Neutrality.

Frankly I think for most people this is just a political chip. We want this because the other guys don't and vice versa. When we get this win we hurt the people who support so many other things that we don't like. The weird thing is that the logic of thought is perfectly reasonable.
California could make iPhones.
I don't know you, but... I have an idea for BrowserCoin.com -- a marketplace for ads where users are paid to try a product. They receive a coin payment when they use a product for a certain period of time. Don't bother decentralizing -- keep tabs on who is paid, to avoid bots stealing payments with fake usage. Let me know if you like that, my email is in my profile.

Good article, and very comprehensive coverage of different aspects. However, they are using JPEG images for screenshots and clean vector artwork. Isn't this worse than using PNG in terms of quality and size? And doesn't this violate their own goal of promoting better image optimization practices?
I have noticed that nothing that I say on HN, except for saying that the scientific evidence is that intelligence is mostly genetic and heritable, gets more downvotes more quickly than discussing secession.

I think the topic has been successfully in the mind of college educated people, so any mention of it immediately brings to mind both slavery and, somewhat amusingly, fascism.

It is too bad. As I said above, I see it as the best way to avoid violence.
You are right. It is simple only in so far as it is simple to state. It does require of the populace a lifetime of exertion of effort. It is certainly sustainable by most of the population in principle, we know that from history and from situations of deprivation where existential or other dangers forced populations to exert that effort in order to avoid danger. Civilization itself is the act of removing such dangers, and when they are removed, the society often then begins abandoning the exertion of effort as it provides no real benefit to larger and larger numbers of the population. Unfortunately this eventually results in the population being unwilling to sustain or expand the infrastructure that protects them. As far as I can tell, this is the largest problem that faces the human species as a whole. Civilization brings about its own undoing.

Emotion and rational thinking are not opposites. I am aware of the neurological cases you're likely referencing, and think that they are extremely important to understanding the interplay of emotion and reason. Without emotion, it is impossible for people to make decisions regardless of the amount of information or understanding available about a situation. Even with a list a mile long of "pro"s set next to a list with only a single "con", a person without emotion can not make the decision to act. It is indeed debilitating. Emotion certainly doesn't need to be eliminated or anything of the sort. It doesn't have to be misleading, it simply can't be relied upon in the absence of reason. Emotions are a basic trained response, and inexplicably linked to the physiological processes of their manifestation. They would probably be extremely useful if we lived in an illiterate possibly pre-lingual tribe on the savannah in Africa where they evolved as an important tool. Our world is far different from that, though, and so we have some baggage we have to deal with. As far as I'm aware, critical thinking is the only tool we've got to recognize and deal with that baggage intentionally.

“The only downside is that, like any advanced Emacs functionality, if you don't use it frequently you forget all the commands.”

Generally regulation and competition are in opposition to one another. Regulations inhibit innovation. See Airline regulation.

That's not say regulations are a bad thing - how much innovation do you want in the handling of your food? But at the same time it's worth being aware the regulations are written slowly, tend to be inflexible and get written by people who are informed about the subject matter which is to say are incumbents with a vested interest in the status quo.

One night after the conference talks were over, a bunch of conference participants and I went for a swim in the ocean. While I was swimming around, S repeatedly grabbed me under the water, putting his hands on my torso, hips, and thighs. I tried to play it off and swim away. He picked me up and pulled me into his chest. He then started to carry me away from the rest of the group, presumably to have some sort of private moment with me that I had absolutely no interest in sharing with him. I struggled, gently at first and then more forcefully, and he let me go.

How is this not outright assault? Why are the police not involved and why is this guy not being charged with anything? Why is anyone concerned about protecting his privacy?
The Dangers of Elite Projection
A bit of "self promotion" here, but I was annoyed with optimizing images manually, so I wrote a plugin for webpack that does it for me.

It allows you to use any imagemin plugins you want, which have wrappers for most image compressors out there. And since it runs every "production build" you can commit your unoptimized images to your repo.

Prior to YouTubes efforts to destroy it, the model they were using is a great one (although there are substantial problems with its implementation). Patreon is emerging as a great way to support creators. People are more than willing to pay for the creation of media and that has not changed. What has changed is that there is no reason to enrich the people who distribute the media. Distribution was a Big Deal. It was the primary driver of the entire global economy for a century. Every big company fundamentally solved the problem of distribution. Sometimes they did other things, but it was all ancillary to distribution. Now, distribution is a solved problem. It's a commodity. Anyone can do it, and because newcomers don't have the burden of overhead and infrastructure and entrenched contractual entanglements that the old guard have hanging around their necks like a noose, newcomers can run circles around those giant companies. And if they had the integrity to stick to their claimed love of the market they held for so long, their companies would shrink dramatically.

The Internet makes it possible for creators to have a decent standard of living. A tremendous number of them can have that decent standard of living. As opposed to a handful of owners of distribution companies living in opulence. An entirely capitalist redistribution of wealth on a large scale. That is viscerally disgusting to many who see those very large companies as the pillars holding our society aloft. To them it looks like rats chewing through the pillars.

Even with 10x the density, you'd need very penetration to be able to create a mesh.

I do agree that peer to peer has potential, but I think as I mentioned it has more potential as a "house to house" than "person to person" thing unless it gets adopted by one of the major mobile networks and pushed very aggressively (e.g. either made compulsory or pushed hard with discounts).
Also, with editors like vim, you can press % to go to the matching brace (curly bracket). In fact that works in vi too, right from the early vi days; also, in vim, if you position the cursor on an opening or closing brace, it momentarily highlights the other one (at least if that brace is visible on the screen, can't remember offhand if this works even if not visible).

I still like languages like Python and F# though.

For computations such as 10+3, it's comparabale. But I give SpeedCrunch an dedge because it can compute "sin(pi/2)" out of the box.
There is a glass ceiling because due to the potential of sexual relationships and misconduct, workplace relations between men and women must be formal. The type of informality men use with other men in the workplace isn't particularly possible between men and women. And that informal mentorship or aspect to work tends to be what drives a lot of advancement.

It's an argument that informal aspects to career success need to be minimized in general. It has other aspects beyond that...all the bullshit of placating or being a puppy dog for your founder or boss in the name of networking, or success too often being who can put a good word in for you rather than a good record sucks.

Ah, ok, that explains all the squabbling -- the countries collect the taxes and then pay into the EU superstate.

One country doesn't want another to have a comparative advantage so they sue each other in the EU courts to force them to collect "their fair share" from the evil tax-dodging corporations. Theater of the absurd if you ask me but who am I to judge...
