Currency is enslavement? Strange, because I thought you could exchange it for good and services slaves didn't have.
Nowadays with a standard household purchasing power you can buy a lot of good and services. Let's back in time, to see what really being slaves would have mean in the past.
> Yet "execution" is typically limited to CLI? That just feels suboptimal, if not just foolish.

It looks like you mindlessly associate a CLI with a poor -- or suboptimal -- user experience. In fact even your choice of weasel words conveys the idea that you want to mindlessly push an irrational belief in spite of not being able to provide arguments to support it. The truth of the matter is that git -- or any other VCS -- operated through commands that change the current state of the repo. The command line interface excels when the user wants to run commands. Any GUI developed for command line tool will end up doing nothing more than replicate what the CLI already does, and will do so poorly.
Sure making apps will continue to make sense, no matter if Apple banned cordova/react-native or not.

As for the other question, the solar panels provide way too little charge for the given area. When EVs are all about to have 100+ kWh batteries soon, it doesn't make sense to have a solar roof top:

Washington state law is different from PA, FL, or MA. What is illegal there may not be illegal in WA.

My conclusion was that there "is no necessary conflict between being a two-party state and allowing audio recording of public conversations without consent of any party".

That doesn't mean that a two-party consent state must allow public audio recordings. It doesn't mean that a two-party consent state must prohibit public audio recordings.

But it clearly is legal in some two-party consent states, in some contexts, to allow audio recordings of public conversations.

I agree that the definition of "private" is definitely open to interpretation under WA law.

Montana, another two-party consent state, specifically excludes "persons speaking at public meetings".

"I'll probably feel slightly nostalgic about the sound and smell of fuel-burning cars someday"

I don't know about the smell, but once people realize how dangerous is a car you can't hear coming, they will start adding some sound, and what's better than a traditional car sound?
The sound will be easily faked using samples from well known engines played according to the current speed by transducers under the car. There will be probably a market for such addons and traditional auto makers could even patent their sound once they realize there is a market for their recordings. Allowing paid download in realtime of "today's hottest car sound" in seconds when you start the car in the morning could become a business, so that news like someone arrested for pirating the sound of a 911 Carrera could even become the norm one day:)

Interesting post. I found 25/5 too short so I switched to 50/10. I did that for a while but found 50 too long so now I do 45/15.

My goal every day is to get 6 blocks of 45 minutes, which is 4.5 hours of real work. Seems sufficient for me so far ...

Unravelling Konami's Arcade DRM
At 12c/kwh with a Radeon RX Vega56 consuming 200W and a hashrate of 2000 h/s, mining XMR currently yields has a 61% profit margin; it's 79% ROI if you are getting free power.

This is not the most power efficient setup (as I said, there are far, far more efficient cards, especially when run in tandem) but it is the most sought-after card due to density. Regardless, it's exceptionally profitable to mine if you already own the card.

JS mining only takes a slight performance hit compared to native, actually; asm.js and others provide very good results since the problem is memory-hard, not computationally bound. It is definitely energy efficient and worth doing if all you care about is ROI vs. marginal utility rates in most American cities (perhaps not some of California). Nicehash built their business model around exactly that, which is the real reason people like libraries like the OP's - it's a distributed way to get people mining, not for the individual person themselves.

I hadn't, but the primary problem is the inverse case. Java programmers have no problem switching to C# and vice versa. The languages are really similar. The problem is that many millions of lines of open source software have already been written in Java and developers are not going to spend thousands of man-years converting them. Especially because they know the languages are so similar.

Developers are well aware that it would take minimal effort to make the languages compatible so they make little effort to port from one to the other. And Microsoft's problem is that the vast majority of these projects already target Java. If the languages were vastly different ports would be more interesting and fun to do, but since they're not porting is basically a boring and vastly annoying syntax conversion. Something annoying that nobody wants to do for free.

If Microsoft officially supported interop with native Java libraries I believe C# would take off like a rocket. Unfortunately, so far, Microsoft hasn't really sent out an olive branch to the massive open source Java community

This was achieved with CVT (Continous Variable Transmission). I did not like to drive one, but it already exists.

Ask HN: German Visa – Switching job before joining
I recently got an offer from a company in Berlin, Germany.

Now my question is, if I decide to use this visa to enter Germany but join a different company, can I do that? Will I have any issues?

> This might make sense from a procrastination point of view, but my point is that you should stop there to revise your strategy so that it will be _easier_ to resume. But with pomorado you just have to grind through because your 20mins isn't up yet... To me that seems inefficient.

I think you people use different definitions of "break". What you (tomxor) describe as "revise your strategy" is probably a task that the other person thinks should be done within the 20 pomodoro minutes, and then a break is not "stop your actual work to think about your work instead" but rather "play angry birds" or "have a water cooler chat".

At least to me, if I get stuck but know that I have time left in my 20 minutes, I am more likely to switch to rethinking my strategy than if I feel like I have the option of taking a break right now.

A similar bug in commenting engine only allows the attacker to damage the comments and temporary disfigure the site with straightforward recovery.

I had this 'relationship' with Mozilla until the Pocket and Cliqz(?) debacles. Either one of these I'd have shrugged off as a misstep, but having done both kind of squandered the goodwill.

And now with this too I think the only way to get me 'back' (and probably many others) is not just just some words and promises, but an explanation as to why they keep doing this kind of stuff, and some concrete solutions to keep it from happening (firing one or more higher-ups?).

I'm rather skeptical that they will actually 'change their processes', but I really hope they do.

While it might seem overblown, I'm even more inclined to stick with Chrome because at least that's a known 'evil', and do any sensitive stuff in Safari. I don't want it to be that way, but it do.

In America, the wide independence of states is supposed to work like this: smaller states can experiment while retaining the benefits of access to a large common market.

In practice, it's nothing like that. At least I can't imagine Rhode Island introducing a "RhodeCoin" on six months' notice.

Are American states suffocated by the federal structure? Maybe, but Estonia is also a member of the EU and the Euro currency, so clearly it doesn't have to be automatically like that. (My personal opinion is that the EU/Euro are actually much more innovation-friendly supranational structures than they're generally given credit for. Estonia's economic growth has much to do with their EU membership.)

Telegram has two different encryption schemes:

- client to server, server to 2nd client

The first is default and stores all communication in plaintext on telegram servers. The first scheme enables universal search, instant "cloud backup" for the whole communication of that account, instant access for newly deployed devices, etc.

The second works only on demand, is restricted to 1:1 chats, doesn't work in the browser and is generally not used that much among regular users who don't know about the feature.
