This drives me insane. Why do we still not have a working system of digital medical records? They ought to just be able to punch in my name and social security number and be able to pull up all my history, without me having to try to remember when I've been operated on and scribble it on a paper form.
The dialog for kernel extension doesn't contain any of those labels though. Instead it offers you to open the "Security" preference pane where some additional UI will be displayed.

If you blindly click buttons you will not accidentally enable a kernel extension.

Besides there living like 10x the amount of people than in the US and besides Canada actually has a very strict immigration politics compared to the US then sure.

I was responding to the "American Dream" by the OP. You find any other country where immigrants are running many of the countries most successful companies and where you have so much opportunity to establish a company in a great market. I am not talking about how fast you can set up an LLC or a C-Corp I am talking about how big your opportunity to create something in the US is no matter who you are and where you are from compared to other places.

The US is far ahead.

The tough people were the ones who endured what it meant to live in the US in the beginning. There weren't tough when they went on a boat but they soon became just as their children and their children.

A couple of years ago I had a couple of articles on a static blog hit HN.

Out of the box nginx on Ubuntu 14.04 on the 1GB Linode (then the second tier) handled it perfectly fine. With no disruption to a teamspeak server that was on the same host at the time.

Why would you need to download the blockchain over Tor? There are many people downloading the blockchain and that in itself does not incriminate you. It seems sufficient to only send out transactions using Tor.
Seems like we should redirect some of the funding the traditional military branches get to the NSA. The work they do is more relevant and important than ever before, and it doesn't look like we're going to have a hot war any time soon.
As I'm currently going through similar pain, I'd point out that the Juniper OpenConnect connectivity seems to require the Juniper firewall has WebVPN enabled for this to work on linux (Pulse Secure on windows, however, doesn't need it).

The official PulseSecure client for linux manages to install but then fails to launch with ubuntu 16.04...

I've checked my password manager and I think your stats roughly match what I see - about 1 in 100 sites seem to have smartass requirements to passwords, others (correctly) don't care.

Still, I'd say it's inconvenient to have "special cases" to remember about. Even if they're something important, like banking.

The original post was about empathy not "being generous".
I was raised in a very religious family and in my experience most religious people are not empathic at all.
Yes, there are exceptions, especially amongst the more mystical types, but most religious people are "generous" because they are trying to score points for the afterlife. It's fascinating to see how people act in church (where they feel God is watching) versus how they treat eachother the rest of the week.

Elective procedures (that may have cheaper substitutes) are not all that likely to inform how other services will be priced. To capture a wide market, Lasik can only be so much more expensive than glasses or contacts.

Also, for medical care it turns out that healthy people don't benefit much from regular checkups. That way of stating it is a little tautological, but people lacking conditions that need management get little benefit from scheduled checkups.
Very insightful
Let's be honest for a minute: There's been a major regime change in the US. The "talent" leaving were probably given a choice between going quietly or being prosecuted. Mr. Binney may have had something to do with all of it.
I'd prefer the choice to specify versions in submodules, with the versions of dependencies chosen and pinned via the global resolution, producing a fixed set of dependencies in a file I can check in, like Gemfile.lock in the Ruby world.
> Isn't the norm to use "they" if one wants to avoid using specific gender?

Technically, the "norm" in IE languages that haven't dropped M/F distinctions (those that did include, e.g., some Scandinavian languages or dialects) is masculine in indefinite and interrogative contexts (feminine implies markedness), but since English doesn't really have a norm, it's more of a do-as-you-please situation.

No it's not. The US system is actually much more liberal than the EU. It also provides opportunities for the 11mil illegal immigrants. How many syrian immigrants are part of the job market in EU?
It's not just about malware. It's also really annoying if you need to uninstall a benevolent but buggy kext. And it's quite surprising that SIP+kext is a one way street (you can install while SIP is active, but you can't uninstall while SIP is active - hope you're not using a computer where someone else manages the mac firmware password, or you can end up shooting yourself in the foot).
Well, the Arts sure doesn't bring in any great and amazing new works, nor does it really make money. So yeah, trash it and most "liberal arts". They're not STEM, and they're a sinkhole for money....

(Karl Marx warned of this, as capitalism only sees value in what produces more value. Artistic and liberal arts value is harder to calculate, thus pointless)

> Under Australian law, it depends on if the defect is material, and if it would have reasonably changed your buying decision.

Interesting, so if you need that particular product (say it has something specific you need, e.g. a program that only runs well on Intel) and there is no competitor to it with that particular feature (e.g. AMD CPU runs the program poorly) then they can sell you as otherwise-defective of a product as they want and you cannot recover damages?

Or to put it another way, there is no notion of "I would have still bought it because I needed it but knowledge of the defect would have lowered its market value"?
My father used to be a lecturer/chief technician at a university and his field is medical equipment in general(the course he was responsible for was something along the lines of "x-ray devices"), so we had a few of those lying around in the house.

By "device" I meant the TV set. I remember hearing an obvious zap as the plate glued itself to the screen which went blank even though the TV seemed to be still on.
> It's popular to say things like some government employees are "folks who can't hack it in civilian life," but there's basically no evidence this is true.

Have you ever worked for government? I'm a civilian contractor in a software architecture role to a public safety agency in a state government. Half the "senior application developers" haven't written code in 15 years and don't know what a unit test is. There are maybe 2-3 individual contributors for each manager. Not team lead, manager, and is in a $105-110k+/yr position that does annual reviews, on call scheduling, etc.

The floor I'm on has 25-35 developers, DBAs, and BAs, and I can count on one hand the number of people who could get hired into a junior technical position at my employer. There are people who are unironically counting the days they have left until they can retire and draw their pension when they have more than 5 years left.

> Anyone working the counter at your local Post Office could easily work the register at any grocery store in your town.

And they'd take a 60% pay cut to do so, wouldn't they? Anyway, this is about folks in technical roles. Running a register and handing out stamps isn't particularly technical.

> Second, take a look at what happens to people who do leave the government. Very often, their salaries go up in the private sector. This is especially true for specialists like the folks who work at the NSA. Seems like they can hack it.

Well that's sort of tautological, isn't it? "The people who get a civilian job are capable of getting a civilian job." These folks are in the "Patriot, not inept" section of the diagram.

> Firing has little to do with it.

Firing has a lot to do. I've spoken candidly about my colleagues here with higher ups in the agency. They've openly bemoaned their inability to fire anyone, especially the people who they know for a fact do nothing all day. Those people are soaking up hundreds of thousands, even millions a year, in taxpayer dollars, doing little work of substance or value, and preventing their positions from being filled by someone capable.

I would hazard a guess that necessary reactions involving calcium require (a lot) less temperature than those that would be necessary to build a bone-like structure out of iron or aluminium.
This is not a maven issue, it's a combination of Java's flat classpath and the reality of diamond dependencies on versioned libraries in any system

This isn't true; there are better solutions already existing. E.g. Ruby with the Gemfile.lock approach. I'd like to be able to do a two-step: do a global analysis of dependencies and pin the common versions for diamond situations, but not need to maintain or calculate those pinned versions manually. And I still get to use the pinned versions from the global resolution for executing tests etc. on submodules.

As it is, I've had to write a bunch of tools to rewrite the dependencyManagement as and when required. The main app I work on is linked into the Hadoop ecosystem, and that dependency set ends up being quite large.

Another issue with Maven is rebranding: when the groupId of an artifact changes, but the package and class names don't; see e.g. asm / asm vs org.ow2.asm / asm, or the whole codehaus debacle.

I have spent more than two weeks of my life updating, maintaining, fixing, researching and tooling Maven pom files, and it was almost all around deficiencies in dependency management.

Let's not get started on trying to get builds to work reliably offline, caching maven repositories, etc.
What are your thoughts on the idea ?
What you mention never happens in private business, either. I'm far more competent than pretty much everyone I ever worked under and it didn't mean I got promoted to their job. Far from it--US private corporations reward idiocy because idiots are loyal.
>I'm running it in multiple servers

You're the only one.
We have a similar one (a 28" widescreen Trinitron from 2002) and you're quite right: while the TV is still fine, the excessively stylish remote died a decade ago. Happily we bought a Sony video recorder at the same time, and its more chunky remote still works and is also capable of controlling the TV.

(We do have a modern LED/LCD TV in another room but I mostly prefer the picture on the CRT, at least when watching TV or films)
There are lots of organizations that do good in people's lives. I don't see why that needs to be tied with bigotry. I hope we don't accept a concept of a moral debit card, like a doctor who can save many lives, so we should tolerate a little abuse. When we can't stop abuse, we will endure it, but when we can, we ought not.

I find it also surprising that the Christian muscle in this country is immense, they could move mountains, but for over 20 years the only issues which has captivated their national attention have been sexual ones. And now there's this transgender business.

Is there no Christian political consensus to be had on the poor? Why was there national discussion on a constitutional ban for gay marriage during the presidential elections? Did the thought of stopping gay marriage rally the base?
My stepson is type 1, so saw this first hand.

Slowly the child loses weight. It's initially not very noticeable, but for example - in our case he stayed with his father over the summer and when he came back he was noticeably thin.

The child begins drinking a lot. It starts off with an excessive thirst. Can't go more than an hour without drinking. But ends up with them not being able to do anything, peeing constantly and never being able to quench their thirst. When he came back to us, he was close to this stage. He was constantly eating ice cubes as they melted slowly enough so that he felt like he was constantly moistening his mouth. After about 3 days we took him to the doctors office, where by he went to Hospital.

Fatigue - the child has zero energy and when they are not drinking they can barely move. This was rapid. He came home on a Sunday evening, and by Wednesday morning he looked like pure death.

Ketones in the blood skyrocket. This is incredibly dangerous. When blood sugar rises above about 15 mmol/L (270 mg/dl) things start getting quite nasty. Health is put in jeopardy. Quite often the child will go in to a coma if they get too high.

All of the sugars are peed out. The child's pee will smell very strongly and be a very dark colour if they are anything like my stepson.

It was basically horrific. But as soon as we got him treatment, he bounced back quickly.

We now use a carb counting system supported by a device that tracks is blood sugar and insulin intake. Regulating his insulin is a constant battle as he still thinks he is indestructible, and convincing a 14 year old boy that skipping "a few" shots every day or injecting a guesstimate as he is "too busy to do it properly" is a bad idea is not easy.
What about joints? Wouldn't harder bones wear them more quickly?
I prefer a consistent reliable efficient health care system and social security system to philantropy, charity and donations as well.

The USA is still the violent prudish religious DIY Wild West compared to most areas in Europe (East-Europe excluded that is more like the USA).

Being morally consistent has zero value for third parties. You can be morally consistent and commit genoside. If your viewpoint creates hate then their is no excuse, that's inherently bad.

In terms of LGBT hate, that's largely an outgrowth of the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam etc and their cultural influences. For comparison you need to look at what they replaced, and that's very much a mixed bag.

I would suggest that when you have a large number of options the bust by metric X (Morality) is unlikely to be chosen if it's Metric Y that's used. For the same reason the gold metal winning sprinter is unlikely to also be the best looking.
The right and left are not equivalent. While anti-GMO may be a personal preference for many hipsters, its most certainly not the defining agenda of the left. Also the left seem to be much more willing to change their beliefs in the face of scientific evidence, whereas the Right is more theology, faith and other such nonsense. So don't say they're equivalent, because they simply aren't.
Lots of videos and the odd link to a peer-reviewed paper on a site run by one physician doesn't add up to a 'lot of evidence'. That doesn't mean he's wrong but I'll agree with you on 'caution needed'.

>The best option for a stable desktop is Gentoo

Get with the times, gramps. Arch is where the racing stripes are at now. Not held back by all these weird dinosaur architectures Arch can really optimise for superior speed, and features, and modern things, leaving Slackware steamboats, Debian diesels, and Gentoo petrols in the dust, because Arch is the EV of Linux operating systems.

The world of anecdata and pointless optimalisations has transcended Gentoo. You're now the Debian stable of the next generation of Linux users, and boy do they know better!

----

with apologies to any Arch and Gentoo users out there. Your OS is fine. I just thought it was amusing if you look, out of context, at these developments.
If I understand NixOS correctly, there is no explicit distinction between system and applications, and everything is handled by the same package management mechanism. The value proposition is in having clean separation between all packages, such that each application can be presented with its own mix of system packages without any conflicts between them.
My goal before I leave New York is to be an extra. I just want to be the guy in the background eating Chipotle. Unfortunately, there aren't many background roles for people who aren't young tall white/black and beautiful. The listings are usually quite specific—especially any sort of double work. My best hope is landing a student project and then working up to feature film or TV.
Probably policemen killing unarmed people - innocent or not - is a problem that needs solving.
I think you're saying that you have more opportunity in the US because the risks are higher? Your argument reads like an incomplete thought. I fail to see how immigration and geography are related. Culture is related, but that could easily change if people weren't told what to think by conservative pastors and media.

I happen to think that opportunities are bigger in the US because of less regulation, a bigger market with no language barriers and more venture capital and that the US could do even better if people didn't have to worry about hospital bills. There's a lot more potential.

Who knows what the future will bring -- on a 10 to 20 year horizon anything can happen. US prestige is waning and China's role is growing. Middle East is all fucked up and so is most of Africa. Russia will do something if somebody does something stupid in Belarus. North Korea is a wildcard, and of course there is Israel too. Being vigilant doesn't hurt. There are plenty of rats in sewers left too -- people just choose not to see them when it isn't convenient. Information flows faster now and is globally accessible so that helps to dampen things somewhat.
Most of those who think highly of Universities have been educated at Universities. And they don't believe in it because they have all had a positive experience: that is statistically impossible. But they are aware of what it is and what it isn't.

The divide isn't half and half as you put it. Rural areas wield a lot more political power nationally simply because of the way our system is structured. The half that is on the right is old and white. In the coming decades, they will cease to exist (apologies for sounding morbid, I'm just stating facts) and their political influence will reduce dramatically.
I have no idea why it's hard for the author to hire people.. I'd just love to have a boss whose main dictionary contains sentences like:

- hiring sucks

- I hate you

- on demand economy is a lie

I understand that hiring is a hard problem, but this essay just convienced me _not_ to join the company the author has created, as it seems like he's not the guy who can keep up the positive tone even in the hardest times for the company. If he's already stressed, what happens when things get harder?
It's not that Americans spend the most, either, but also the fact that unlike other governments, the U.S. government has little incentive to fix national healthcare crisis, especially when Big Pharma benefits from those crisis and lobbyists against the fixes.

In countries where the government foots the bill for healthcare, and healthcare is obviously a big portion of their expenses, the government will usually scramble to do everything it can to improve the population's general health. That includes trying to limit pollution, better regulating the "food" that comes on the market, and so on.
