Sorry, a bit off topic.

I travel a fair amount and some years ago I came to the conclusion that I needed to put together a “kit” of adapters, chargers, a portable battery, etc. that never leaves my travel backpack. While it seems a bit wasteful to have these things in duplicate, it made the night before travel so much more peaceful.

I took this concept a bit further and packed up common things like a belt, workout clothes, underwear, etc. that when not being worn or washed always stay in my luggage. Again, made the night before a trip much better. Now it’s only a matter of finding and packing my shirts and pants.

My most recent experiment is a bit more extreme. I visit an office in China every other month and I packed up an entire bag with everything I need for a week stay - everything. I’ve made arrangements with the hotel I stay at to do my laundry when I leave and it’s ready for me to grab when I return the next time.

There is nothing more convenient than getting ready for a long international trip when realizing that all you need to do is grab your laptop and go.

Just an example: The poorest 5 percent of households use 247 gallons of gas per year, on average. The richest 22 percent, with incomes over ten times higher, each use about four times as much.

The basic issue is as wealth increases people spend more on services which have lower energy needs than say food. A cheeseburger takes not just energy to cook much energy to manufacture. An account on the other hand uses much less energy per dollar spent.
It could also just be a poorly designed dialog, like something that just says "are you sure?" .. instead of actually stating to the user what they are confirming.
Radiohead have outsold Lana since their last album in 2016. Their last three albums collectively have also outsold Lana’s last three albums. Before that she had her breakthrough debut that sold a ton. Overall Radiohead have outsold though because they have more volume. However their sales are still solid. Lana’s have gone down a lot with each release. At least half of Radiohead also have other work and producing they do. Money is the least of their concerns.

Though I’m sure you know that and were just angry.

Sounds like F-Secure is just trying to say "Yeah we do security research too, remember we exist."

Basically they are saying that their "exploit" requires physical access to a device and an incompetent administrator. What's next? Oh no, Windows doesn't require administrators to force their users to not use the password "password". Someone issue a press release slamming Microsoft, horrible security!

Point being, this doesn't belong on the front page of HN. Of course admins should know about this, but whoever submitted this is FUD piggy-backing on a legitimate exploit.
thank you, exactly this is what I want verify, that it is just a coincident.
That's a fantasy. The problem with 2008 for example wasn't the inability to make simple algorithmic decisions based on metric, it was that the fundamental risk was obscured (intentionally). Smart people mis-analyzed this and made poor decisions, because to some degree the instruments were designed for that purpose. Smart contracts do nearly nothing to mitigate this problem.

From my chat with graph.cool the other day it seems like graphql-bindings would be a very thin wrapper that also can be auto-generated from a GraphQL schema (e.g. PostGraphile), so there shouldn't be too much additional complexity, and I don't think there's any major reasons they couldn't run in literally the same Node.js process. DISCLAIMER: I've not got around to trying this yet.
> I also said to use a package manager.

Package managers are outside the scope of this discussion though. I agree they are great when they can be used, but for various reasons they can't be used (no root access, the software or the version or the configuration or the architecture one wants isn't available, etc).

This discussion really is about the relative differences in security between curl-piped-to-sh and downloading software some other manual way (opaque installer, tarball full of source, etc).

> Claiming I've said binaries are inherently unsafe could not be further from the truth

I'm not so sure. One of your arguments against curl-piped-to-sh is that it's hard to audit (which I disagree with in general, but that's irrelevant for this point), but if that really was a concern for you, then I don't think it's unreasonable to infer that anything hard to audit would be just as objectionable, like binaries in various forms (and therefore this argument wouldn't apply only to curl-piped-to-sh).

> They've also had SSL downgrading issues in the past, allowing MITM attacks trivially

Which applies to more than curl-piped-to-sh, so this is irrelevant here. This is an argument against Heroku, not against this installation method.

> If a company screws up their shell script, there's usually no recourse unless they're interested in listening to you. If a company screws up their package, then they're required to act on it, or potentially have their package made inaccessible.

The quality of the installation method is not a function of the method itself, but a function of its popularity. If you are arguing that less popular installation methods may have more bugs, then I agree with you, but to then argue that curl-piped-to-sh is therefore inherently buggier than installers or packages doesn't follow. I'd bet if a company's most popular installation method was curl-piped-to-sh and there was some problem with it that affected their users, they'd fix it just as quickly.

So this isn't specific to curl-piped-to-sh, and is irrelevant.

> There are exactly four problems I have with curl | sh.

> SSL downgrading

Not specific to curl-piped-to-sh. Irrelevant.

> You can't mitigate curl | sh trustworthiness by checking in your browser

Not specific to curl-piped-to-sh. Irrelevant.

> Root

Not specific to curl-piped-to-sh. Irrelevant.

> Partial file execution / only shell can break a system when the file is incomplete

This is the only actual argument related to the difference between the two, and it's one we've already hashed through a few times. I agree it's a difference, but I disagree it's a major flaw, cause for concern, or a reason to abandon the curl method.
Both parent's last names.
Not quite sure what this comment means but it feels like you are saying “these rules exist Because a democratically influenced process came up with them so we shouldn’t change them”, which if true is not great reasoning for the following reasons:

1) things change over time, policies that at one time protected people move on to be things that increase inequality or worsen outcomes.

2) Politics has a long history of excluding less powerful voices. Right now in cities, there is a movement to “re-enfranchise” the people whom have often been ignored, minorities and renters. Often times the will of the people changes because those who were locked out of the decision making process 10/20/30 years ago now hold much more political power and able to influence outcomes.

3) if your bias is “current policy is best policy” then you are biased to favor the voices of the moderately wealthy white home owners who created modern urban land use policy over the past 50 years at the expense of renters and minorities.
> The problem comes when you realize what you have to do to get a vote, which is to buy a house.

The franchise isn't restricted to homeowners; renters too can vote.
This will only last as long as fuel taxes are able to pay for roads. At some point in the future you will probably be taxed by the mile, or in some other way to make up the difference. I 100% agree that maintenance is less on an electric car, especially for someone like me who keeps a car for 10+ years. I can hardly wait to own an electric car so I can ditch oil changes,timing belts, exhaust issues, cooling system problems etc.
Lots of discussion last time; quite a while ago, though:

There are plenty of reasons to change your name that don't have anything to do with marriage. The answer to systems being inflexible and not coping with name changes is not that people shouldn't change their name. The process should be easier and less painful, and all systems need to deal with names that change, including usernames that change (since people often use part or all of their name in their username).

(Also, some people do enjoy that convention, while others do not. It shouldn't be expected, but it should certainly be permitted.)

> a miner would lower their fee

They're not "lowering their fee". That's not how it works. They might stop mining altogether, but it can never cost more to include a transaction than not to include it, unless including it pushes out another transaction that pays a higher fee.
This is exactly the reason why I've tried to port as much stuff as I can to my terminal. Productivity in the sense of using a program faster is a nice by-product, but preserving my attention is way more important to me. To me it seems nowadays you don't pay hard cash for things online, you pay in attention. I'm trying to get my digital experience to serve me again instead of me serving to something which I'm using.

On a sidenote: Any tips on making my digital experience less attention focused? For instance I would really like to use surf or uzbl but they don't have support for MacOS and I would still need an adblocker/ reader mode.

The oversimplification of cancer and smoking:

Smoking has been overly simplified to “If you smoke hard, you will achieve cancer.” But I've been smoking hard for 20 years and no cancer yet! My grandfather smoked his lungs till he was 82 and never had any cancer either. Whenever I hear that smoking kills I get triggered!

> the designs (like a painted line to show you how far back to stand) used to try to informally enforce the norm that helps everyone get their case easily.

There's two layers to your example: the part where the conveyor belt itself and its affordances[0] encourage certain group dynamics, which you can change through design (aka interaction design), and rules and regulations to discourage that without changing the affordance of the conveyor belt (the enforcing of good behaviour that you mention).

For example, to really speed things up you would need to parallelize: use multiple shorter conveyor belt loops, each handling with luggage from different sections of a plane (say seat 1 to 15, 16 to 30, etc). That requires organisational overhead though. It also wouldn't work in situations where everyone in the front of the plane had check in luggage, and only a handful of people in the back.

But that presume we want to optimise time for luggage pick-up. If we go back to the crowding behaviour you mentioned, the issue is everyone wanting to stand next to the belt, and close to the point where luggage is thrown on it.

The former can be solved by maximising conveyor belt length vs surface area by making it "snake" more, more people can stand next to it in the same area. However, lengthening the belt makes it take longer for luggage to move all the way around it, and you can't speed it up too much without making it difficult to grab the luggage. The second can be mitigated by having multiple spots through which luggage is thrown on the belts.

They're not setting a minimum fee, they're either mining or not mining based on profitability.

There is never any financial reason to mine blocks that have empty space if there are fee-paying transactions available to put in that space.
I've never seen a property reduce rents on a lease before even if the markets bare it. Did you move units to start a new lease?
So as kind of a broad reply to a lot of the "well, the cable could break" - yes. Yes it could.

I'm not saying don't have some other way of transmitting data...just rather than worrying about "how do we relay connectivity between senors using a wireless protocol", and/or "How do we connect sensors that aren't in cell coverage areas to the broader internet", fiber can be used to connect sensors in relays. Put a cellular chip every 10 miles, say, and then connect those, with sensors, with fiber. So basically cell chip -> sensor -> sensor -> ... -> cell chip -> repeat. Any single split of one of those 10 mile stretches, and you have lost nothing (as communication can still go the other way, that is, the sensor north of the split can still send data north, the sensor south of the split can still send data south, say). And you know where the split happened.

"Workers will just cut the fiber" - err, really? I assume installing oil pipelines, given the mechanical complexity of it, involves more than just sticking it together and welding it shut (and removing it involves more than just slicing it open and dropping a new one in its place). An extra step or two to ensure the fiber line is properly hooked up hardly seems any more complex than what they're already doing.

I just rented a 1BR for 2300. If you want cheap rent, set up an alert on Craigslist. 90% of the listings on CL are above a market clearing price and have been on CL for 6+ weeks. When the prices are lowered, they get snapped up in 12 hrs or less. I’d say market clearing price now is probably between 2300 and 2700 for an older building in the eastern neighborhoods.

You also completely changed your attitude in the job interview. There are things in my life that I repeatedly and inexplicably (to me) failed at, and when I changed my attitude, suddenly it started working. Was it randomness, or was it my attitude change? Hard to say.
Also historically emulation only gets into a state usable for pirates after the end of the console's lifetime, or at the least near the tail end.

So right at the time emulators are good enough to enable piracy the impact is significantly less because you can't buy the original console and games anymore.

I'm not anti-modern either, but it's hard to pinpoint what makes me choose differently than many others. Here's two relevant outlooks I hold, but I'd say that they are insufficient to explain this behaviour. Trend following has no value, unless to fool someone. Solution's popularity does not imply that it is better.
I'd imagine it's solvable by just about everything. This is one of those cases where the core problem isn't that the problem is hard, it is that it is so easy that it is a challenge to get humans to even perceive it as a problem on such a small scale. Any planning system will hit something like this all but immediately.

I'd say a lot of the earliest AI optimism was a failure to understand just how hard things that in the simplest case are so simple we don't even perceive them as problems in the first place. For a much more complicated example, I doubt anyone in 1970 would imagine that in 2018 we're still trying to get robots to walk from here to there. (Yes, lots of progress has been made, but it's still very much cutting edge, a research project, and a bespoke one-off effort each time, not a "Oh, I'll just swing on down to the robot store and pick up a walking chassis".) We don't see it as a challenge because for our conscious minds, by the time we're old enough to be doing robotics research, it's zero cognitive effort for us.

My team has transitioned into the same style stack. We used Codeigniter for everything. Now we use its controllers solely as a PHP api and its models as a db query wrapper. AngularJS handles our whole frontend. We just had a big discussion if we want to move to something smaller. Alot of us want to switch to python for professional reasons.
A lot of professional women (in the US, at least) run into that problem-- They either don't change their name and deal with the social problems that entails or they change their legal name but still publish under their previous name and deal with the professional implications.

Well, their purchasing power is about to go down because when they go out to eat they're going to be paying for $15/hr dishwashers instead of $12/hr dishwashers.

> A difficult, but crucial adaptation needs to happen in a wide variety of industries: The people working the less glamorous, less visible, but equally crucial roles in operating these businesses should have been treated as peers / relative equals all along.

But they're not really. A dishwasher needs to be able to scrub dishes, load & unload a mechanical dishwasher, show up more-or-less on time, not get into fights with the other employees — that's about it (incidentally, I know whereof I speak: my first job was washing dishes).

The front-of-house staff need to speak the local language, be polite & friendly to customers, have good memories, have attention to detail, be able to manage relatively complex situations, be reliable &c. It's a very different — and rarer — skillset.

You don't even really need to have a functional IQ to be a successful dishwasher; you need to be reasonably sociable & quick on your feet to be a successful waiter or maître d'hôtel.

It's eminently reasonable and fair that a job anyone can do will pay less than a job fewer people can do.
