The advantage that recon aircraft have over satellites is that they're not in predictable orbits. Assuming any new aircraft has better stealth than the SR-71 (say, on the order of what the first-gen stealth F-117 had), it can overfly the area of interest before anything can be moved under cover.
The mission of the FCC according to wikipedia is to "make available so far as possible, to all the people of the United States, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, rapid, efficient, Nationwide, and world-wide wire and radio communication services with adequate facilities at reasonable charges."

Net neutrality sounds consistent with this to me.

I have yet to find a reason to support iOS hot reloading in this context to be perfectly honest. I use the desktop bytecode hot reloading (implemented inside Reprocessing so everyone can benefit from it), and it works wonderfully well. It's faster than anything you've seen before. And given that you probably want to be coding in Reason and not objc, it doesn't really matter what your render target is while you're iterating and being creative.
I'm all ears if you can think of something though.

Some impressions right after the download:

* I can't see why I have to give my e-mail address.

* The Electron setup process is very nice! Though, I wouldn't have minded a lightweight installer, with little more than a wrapper around curl.

* After installing the software, I can't see it anywhere - nor from the XFCE app finder, nor in $PATH. I know I should read the documentation, but it'd be nice if I could at least find it from the app finder (it's a matter of adding .desktop files, I think?).
This is seriously what came to mind first when I saw the EAS screenshot
Interesting, we will investigate it ASAP. In the meantime, please try Chrome instead. We'll try to fix it soon. I'm really sorry for the incontinence!
I don't think Bret Victor ever did a visual dataflow language, did he? This doesn't seem like the kind of thing he would do, it is more in the spirit of Quartz Composer (especially in its liveness and explorer) as well as VVVV, among many others. It also reminds a bit of Unreal blueprints in the way it handles completions on results (just draw out from the output, and you get a list of what patches you can bring in to deal with it).

It does seem like a nice replacement to Quartz Composer (well, we have Facebook Orgami now), since Apple isn't going anywhere with that these days (though aimed at data processing rather than graphics and animation).
Might some argue that some of the capital being placed in these currencies, whether they're by clever millionaires who studied whitepapers, or Uber drivers (as the anecdote goes) who jumped in after taking out a line of credit on the house, is investment in some of the companies behind the tech? For example, BTC companies like Blockstream funded things like satellites, while the Ethereum founder has been donating money to companies that help the Ethereum future.

Perhaps it's 'accidental investing with a dose of roulette number thrown in'.

Perhaps it's a new type of investment/gambling hybrid that requires a new category.
It’s fascinating and telling that this comment was heavily downvoted, but not surprising. What’s a bit sad is that in that flurry of attempts to disappear your comment, no one had a reply.

This seems to be a pattern on HN.

Is it surprising that that sort of callousness would be downvoted?

By the kind of people who would yell at an anorexic support group for saying that their attempts to derail said meeting with their traumatic history of obesity, was inappropriate? No. You’re a smart bunch, but I’ve figured out the reason that you all talk about “soft skills” like some kind of distant light you could never hope to approach.

Is it ironic that a discussion of women trying to establish a site for their own use leads to a subset of this site reacting badly? No.

Am I surprised that any time a group tries to address issues which disproportionately harm them, they get the “all lives matter!” attack? Also no.

I’m no longer surprised when people act like children because they don’t understand how to relate to others, or feel an overweening need to make any conversation about them.

Thanks for asking.

Something else I want to add is that I think the biggest pro I got from living in big cities, is that I have the mentality and hunger to make the best out of myself. Having a house, family, being able to travel etc. Obviously working remotely and getting a proper salary contributes to all that.

People here, especially 20-30 have the mentality that there is no future and there is nothing to fight for in life. Due to this atrocious crisis and all that comes with it, they have it as a fact that they won't be able to buy a house, they won't be able to travel and generally they let themselvs without trying to improve their situation. My wife tends to have those questions from time to time, like what am I doing here, am I progressing career wise, are there things to do, and after talking to her for a bit showing her a brighter side to what life has to offer she comes back to normal.

I think this kind of subsidy is only slightly better than sports stadiums. They both are shades of the bad parts of capitalism.

If only all states could agree to not give preferential treatment via tax subsidies. It'd be nicer for companies to pick their location based on geography and work force along with tax reasons.
That's also an argument for just using Kerberos over the Internet. And I'm not sure that's a good idea.

I'm almost certain it's a bad idea if that means rolling your own Kerberos implementations in php, javascript and golang in order for your various back-end to speak to your various front-ends.

But sure, leverage secret-key crypto and tickets in your own implementation in a way that's more secure than Kerberos.

Or, use a solution that's simple enough any weakness is fairly obvious.
Going into dept to speculate doesn't really seem like the best idea regardless of the price.
You can and should use Twirp's protobuf serialization instead for almost all applications. The JSON serialization is really intended for developers and low-throughput cross-language clients.

Protobuf serialization isn't free, but it's definitely cheaper than JSON serialization.
It's surprisingly feasible to do just that (hence why I made the site!) almost everywhere I go in the U.S. and even on a recent trip through Italy I see telltale signs of WISPs. I think it's a lot more common than people realize.
I believe the parent comment (it is flagged now so I can't be sure) used the term anti-feminist because the author has previously described herself as an anti-feminist.

To the question, it is anti-feminist by its acceptance of the unequal social status of men and women today. Both the feminist and the anti-feminist agree that there is social inequality between men and women, but to the feminist the best action is to create social equality while to the anti-feminist the best action is for men and women to act appropriately to their differing circumstances. The thought that "a woman ought to say no" to unwanted experiences is focused on adjusting the behavior of the woman to her current unequal circumstances and is thus anti-feminist. A feminist would agree that women should say no to unwanted experiences, but will also say that women should not be exposed to so many unwanted experiences to begin with.
Unfortunately, in a case like this the courts use "deferential review" as opposed to what you're implying (known as "de novo review"). The decision would be upheld for as long as the administrator can produce some evidence to support the decision, even if the decision were wrong!

> The Court's focus is upon whether the plan administrator's final decision was "arbitrary, capricious or an abuse of discretion" . Under this standard, the administrator's decision can be upheld by the Court, even if it is technically wrong, as long as there is "substantial evidence" in the administrative record to support the decision. "Substantial evidence" is a rather nebulous term, which has been defined by the appellate courts as: "such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion" . It does not mean a large or considerable amount of evidence. It requires "more than a scintilla, but less than a preponderance."

Others seem to misunderstand your point. Essentially you want someone with deep knowledge. To share an example... "Deep C" - by Olve Maudal [0]. It isn't about writing bad code - it's about understanding how the code will compile/run, how to avoid potential issues, and how to avoid similar issues that might occur that stem from that same understanding of how the code will compile/run.

I think that most efforts to revert the Net Neutrality to the Obama-era state is severely hampered by how much the current administration is swayed by lobbyists. Though sad, the only course of action that seems available now is damage control until the next elections. I do still fully support Mozilla's efforts in the matter anyway.
In the UK this is known as 'third party' cover, and, when you hit the price comparison websites, it's not always the case that the cheapest third party option is cheaper than the cheapest comprehensive option.
My problem is that my procrastination is an addiction. There is a voice in my head telling me of all the productive things I need to do, and I enjoy rebelling against that voice and doing my own thing.

And then there is the nature of working for others, in that it requires a "sacrifice of ego." I shut down everything and become a work horse. I work for hours on end, because this is what I'm supposed to do for a living. I can't question if I really want to be doing this because that would cause me to procrastinate. Instead I become my work. Sometimes I enjoy what I do, but I am specialized in specific technologies so I'm doing a variation of the same tasks over and over. That's the life of this "modern worker."
A windowless vehicle makes it worse, because you don't see any movement, you just feel it. As klibertp said....

> Motion sickness comes from the conflict between your eyes and the part of your ear which tells you which way is up and lets you stay in balance.

If there's no windows, then your eyes will say "We're not moving", but your inner motion sensor in your ear will say "We're definitely moving", and you'll create motion sickness.

It's for the same reason some people feel motion sickness in some VR apps that involve movement in the virtual world that doesn't match your real world movement, such as driving a car in VR. Your eyes say "We're moving", but your ear says "No we aren't!", and the discrepancy triggers motion sickness.

It irritates banks not, by the way, because they're oh so scared about this fantastic new competitor to "their" money and money related businesses, but because it's often used (when it's used) for illegal transactions.

> Holy Shit, are they just trying to print out tethers out of thin air right now to pump Bitcoin?

That's the line I often see on Twitter / Reddit and usually gets a lot of upvotes, despite being irrational, with no proof to back it up.

As bitcoin falls, the demand for Tethers goes up. To keep Tethers pegged to, say, $1 USD, they need issue more to meet the demand, which would be a more rational explanation why more were issued.
Not sure what "you" you're talking about. I'm telling you the truth about my Steam use, so your comment feels pretty weird.

The reason is simple.

Blocksize and fees are a tradeoff.

1 cent fees are a significant advantage over 20$ fees.

But 0.0001 cent fees aren't really that much more useful for your coffee transactions.

Sure, maybe someone will come up with another chain that is used for true micro transactions.

But what we are saying is, that each of these fee levels are good for different use cases.

Bitcoin's high fees and high security are great for a digital gold product that isn't traded much.

Bitcoin Cash made a different tradeoff in the attempt to go after the daily spending market.

Pros and cons.
> If 3k is a significant amount of someone's life savings, then they should not have put in BTC.

No, they shouldn't have. But many people don't actually understand what a high-risk market is, and especially not one as volatile as Bitcoin. They've heard their cousin/friend/waiter made a couple thousand bucks off it, done some googling, and found several thousand people saying this is the next big thing, with fancy graphs and miracle use cases and so on and so forth to prove it. Big well-known news sources like Bloomberg talking about it, and how big well-known investment banks are interested in it. This is the end result of what lack of regulation looks like.

People get bamboozled - similar to many scams, you might get tricked into losing a couple of hundred bucks and calling it a life lesson, or you might get scammed into losing your life savings and winding up in severe debt.

A few people (and it's more than a few) being impacted enough to cause them to be extremely worried about how they'll pay their bills, how they'll afford to keep a roof over their head in their later years, is important. It's maybe not as important to you as widespread economic collapse, but it's nothing to pretend isn't an issue. The comment you were originally replying to wasn't talking about economic collapse - it was talking about the impact on individual people.
IMO tests should never do this unless the function's role is obvious. This prevents internal restructuring (Which is bad!). What you should instead prefer is end-to-end testing.

So for a lexer, you'd create a dummy program with the output of each token on a newline, and then test that the tokenizer's output matches what you expect from the input. But you shouldn't test whether the functions themselves are correct. The tests cases should be designed to throw up any bugs in any of the internal functions, and the system should catch it as defined.

Otherwise you end up documenting what the system currently is, rather than that the goal of the system is met.
Lobbyists provide a better ROI than most lawsuits.
This can only be fixed by the FTC, yes. But it's against Google's interests for antitrust law to come back into vogue, so they've put a lot of money into getting folks on board with the FCC, which doesn't have jurisdiction over Google, being in charge. In fact, the Title II classification that net neutrality supporters are so big on actually exempts ISPs from FTC regulation, preventing the government from breaking up their monopolies!

Net neutrality, as implemented, is really flawed in a lot of ways (there's a lot of practical uses for more limited types of Internet plans being available in world of IoT, especially), but this comment will be -4 shortly anyways. We shouldn't be regulating the Internet. We should be breaking up monopolies and fining companies for unfair business practices.
> ..isn't it for the FTC to intervene and bust up throttling and content blocks under restraint of trade doctrine

Assuming the FTC isn't a regulatory capture agency, it is. FTC does very little here, it was in the FTC before 2015 it went Title II and the FCC.

The FTC also can't make it a utility, the FCC can via Title II, thus the reason it ended up there from the FTC in 2015.

FTC was fighting against net neutrality from 2007-2011 to today [1].

> In June 2007, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) urged restraint with respect to new regulations proposed by net neutrality advocates, noting the "broadband industry is a relatively young and evolving one," and given no "significant market failure or demonstrated consumer harm from conduct by broadband providers" such regulations "may well have adverse effects on consumer welfare, despite the good intentions of their proponents." The FTC conclusions were questioned in Congress in September 2007, when Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., chairman of the Senate interstate commerce, trade and tourism subcommittee, told FTC Chairwoman Deborah Platt Majoras that he feared new services as groundbreaking as Google could not get started in a system with price discrimination.

The FTC is also a largely controlled agency by one party, I'll let you guess which one.

FTC's arguments up to 2011 were that no signs of abuse have emerged, that changed through 2015. One example is when Netflix/Comcast were already thottling them, Netflix even had to make fast.com because ISPs were 'fixing' their speed tests to lie.

FCC regulation, though I dislike the FCC as well, is the only place internet can be seen as a utility, which it is now and must be as so much is built on it.

I think you mean inconvenience, but incontinence works too, since it sounds like the OP had a crappy experience ;)
Oh hey, we have a slack channel for this. Email staff@tsi.io, we'll combine what we have with what you have.
Agreed, the project looks neat! I didn't have issues with the scrolling, but the page took about a minute to load and render on my 100Mbps connection. Chrome pulled down around 32MB of data to load the page, so no wonder.

At some point, a slick experience becomes a hindrance when it comes at the cost of load time, and this page blew past that point and then some.

The main culprit looks to be high-res PNGs with transparent backgrounds, which are ~2MB each. If you can get away with lightly compressed JPEGs with the same background colour as the page, you'd shave the majority of this baggage off. Obviously it won't look quite as good, but it's all about balance :) Just my two cents.
Could you clarify something for me that has been bothering me every time I see someone make an argument along these lines? Why does BTC === crypto? I see it over and over that people make arguments about the potential value of the cryptocurrency 'market' and then immediately use that to put a value on bitcoin. Aren't there hundreds of other cryptocurrencies already?
yes, that was the exact point that I was trying to make.

At a minimum what we visually identify as mickey mouse wont leave copyright until, 2035 - but even then certain fundamentals of the character were not finalized until much later.
How do you express "X is a dead end; we tried it and it didn't work because Y, so this is Z" as a unit test? The strength of prose is that it can be used express concepts with an efficiency and fluency that syntactically-correct cannot do.

Sometimes you just have to pick the right tool for the job, and sometimes that tool is prose. I think if you get too stuck on using one tool (e.g. unit tests), you sometimes get to the point where you start thinking that anything that can't be done with that tool isn't worth doing, which is also wrong.

I disagree - WPF is still used in a very large swath of business applications. As the author points out, if a fork of WPF was modernized with all of the current framework features (generics, async/await, deeper MVVM integration) it would be a great UI framework.
I don't think incontinence is the word you are looking for .... or maybe it is!
In addition, you should also considering buying a domain for yourself and then using Google Apps or one of the other alternatives to host it. It's such a huge hassle to change email address everywhere, you are better off having control over it as well.
No, since leaving Microsoft I've been doing everything on a Mac via VS Code.
It's difficult. It essentially comes down to whether sex should be opt-in or opt-out. I think it should be opt-in, either verbally or non-verbally.
