Not quite. You don't have to borrow a dollar for any old thing. Yes you need to eat and the shop sells food in dollars, but we need to extrapolate more. The shop wants dollars because they too have to pay their taxes.

You could find a shop that takes bitcoin. You buy all your food there. Life is good, you are sat with your girlfriend eating croissants from this store. There's someone at the door. It's the government. Taxes time.

Your point about the state having a monopoly on violence is critical. They want their taxes, they will send you a letter. Then another letter. Eventually they send a guy with a gun.

I don't necessarily have a problem with the state having that monopoly. I'm not some raving libertarian. But the failure of bitcoin advocates to understand this distinction is wearing.
I haven't done that for years, prefering instead to change ports to an uncommon one and even then that port is only opened upon port knocking. My logs are so much easier to parse. (These days in nftables instead of iptables.)

It's incredibly difficult. I applied for a hundred jobs, finally got one. Now I'm freelance/contract, which I stumbled into by luck (got fired and landed clients the same day). The best piece of advice I can give, is to keep building side projects to build a portfolio, meet as many people as you can in the field (network), and if possible, expand your job search criteria. There are lots of small companies that have a difficult time finding anyone at all that can work on their code. If you put your time in at some smaller companies, you can build your resume and inch up the ladder. These kinds of jobs aren't glamorous but they've given me a lot of confidence in myself as a programmer. It also helps that teams are usually tiny and you can get a ton of experience doing different things that would be someone else's responsibility at a bigger company.
You clearly need to invent a way to indicate sarcasm more clearly.
That is not the logic. The logic is this:

Cloudflare serves up illegal content, let's say a phishing site.

Cloudflare refuses to stop serving the phishing site.

Cloudflare refuses to disclose who they are serving the site for.

By using your metaphor, the county would not even send out the sheriff to prevent a shipment from illegal material being driven over their highway once they were aware of it and would just flat out refuse to cooperate with state police.

It's not up to Cloudflare to decide what content is or isn't illegal. But Cloudflare actively prevents investigations to even start determining whether or not something is illegal.

Yes, if you take a detour via Python. As Markus pointed out, you would still need to know data types and filter values in advance to configure the pivot - I would assume this is normally the case.

Using Python, you can build conditional rules for building a SQL query based on parametrized inputs with Jinja2. Example here: https://multithreaded.stitchfix.com/blog/2017/07/06/one-weir...

You can then execute said query with a given DB module.
I'm curious if the position of the "Vaunt display" will feel similar to Google Glass.

From the article:

>> It projects a rectangle of red text and icons down in the lower right of your visual field. But when I wasn’t glancing down in that direction, the display wasn’t there. My first thought was that the frames were misaligned.

The HUD in Google Glass was also outside of your normal field of view and for certain things this was a poor experience. For example, using Google maps integration I felt like I was taking my eyes off the road and felt safer simply using my smartphone mounted to my windshield.

Your heart is in the right place. Freedom of information, and access to it, is a critical human right.

There is, however, a possible catch. As a developer, there's a sharp limit to what can be done purely in server-side software to mitigate a DDoS attack. Some classes of attack rely on particular kinds of server-side vulnerabilities, and against these your skills are very valuable! I'm sure your contributions of skill would be most welcome.

But against pure bandwidth-flooding attacks, it's more likely that writing more code is of at best marginal benefit. The state of the art for responding to these requires a big network, a lot of bandwith, and active management. Things difficult to deliver as a lone developer who cares deeply.

It's this part right here. Containers provides a uniform deployment model for all apps you need to maintain and service. The original analogy to physical shipping containers is spot on here. It doesn't matter if your Go app is "shipping ready"; what matters is that it stacks neatly and identically with all the other stuff running around on the network.
If you have the chance to go to Berlin, hit up the museums. There's quite a few which will give you some of the perspective you need. The impact of the wall (see Checkpoint Charlie) is couched in the context of the holocaust, the SS, and the rise and fall of Naziism (see Topography of Terror, Jewish Museum, Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe). Then these things must in turn be understood in the context of Germany's transition from empire to republic, unification, the Protestant reformation, and WWI (various other museums).

I highly recommend spending a few days in Berlin and just seeing this stuff in person. Hotels are comparatively cheap and English will get you far. Just seeing this stuff helped immensely for me, and you can make interesting connections when you see everything in one place.

Even small slices of this history are fascinating, like the different policies of urban renewal during different periods of Berlin's history—neighborhoods being torn down for modern construction, the building of Berliner Dom, the competition between East and West during occupation both w.r.t. large public works and housing.

Terminating Stormfront voluntarily discredits any attempt at common carrier status.

EDIT: I'm unsure you can argue, with a straight face in front of a judge, that you're a common carrier when you've publicly blogged about determining to terminate a user because you felt like it. I'm not judging Cloudflare (anymore), just observing the pickle they've put themselves in because of their own decisions.

It’s not the same as the paper for performance reasons. This is noted in the github README. Martin said on Software Engineering Daily late last year that Automerge was three orders of magnitude faster than his published version of the JSON CRDT.

This is my second time highly recommending a Software Engineering Daily podcast with Martin Kleppman on it. He is really smart and able to break down really complex topics in a way that's easy to understand. If you've never heard of CRDTs before, have a listen - https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2017/12/08/decentralize...
> The government needs the approval of a judge to detain a suspected terrorist. To kill one, it need only give itself permission.

Sure but the same is true of more petty law enforcement. A police officer needs a warrant to come search a person's house. But if the same person presents an immediate threat, the same officer can use varying levels of force up to and including taking the person's life. This is the same principle but applied at the federal level.

I can't imagine that situation changing either. Just as I don't see local law enforcement losing their monopoly of deciding when to use force. What we may see is a more formal postmortem, again similar to what's already in place for local law enforcement.

The tricksy part of that is that there's nobody above the Federal government besides the voters and granting quarter to terrorists tends to poll badly.

> Society only functions because we respect the informal intentions of other people.

I agree wholeheartedly, in the local scale person-to-person sense.

But your argument is knocking down a straw man, by coming at it from the other direction. I'm not advocating for being an asshole via finding loopholes, but against the ridiculousness of creating a second set of half-formal rules to repair deficiencies in the fully formal ones.

> Under the 'code is law' doctrine, just because you could do something, you can do something. This is incompatible with anything resembling civilized society.

Yet this is exactly how the legal system does work. If an action is "wrong" but not illegal you can't actually be sanctioned for it. See: pretty much any large company in the news over some kind of outrage that will ultimately go unpunished.

Maybe change that to "many people"; "anyone" isn't accurate. For example, at my workplace, there are security cameras at a couple of the doors, but none in the office itself. I don't think I'd stay long if there were a bunch of cameras here.

Descriptions of typing are about as unevenly used as descriptions like "pass by reference." (So, practically useless.)

In Lisps:

- values have types (bool, symbol, number, list, array, structs, functions, ...)

- variables have by default one type: union of all the above

- in Common Lisp, you can restrict the types of values allowed in a variable

> but this uses type declarations

I must have missed this. If it's not just what struct-like entities are allowed in the markup, where did you see that?

I used to run an email based version of this aimed at tracking company/team mood. It was indeed frictionless and we collected a large amount of data (especially compared to annual employee surveys or every biweekly retrospectives), but it wasn't very actionable on it's own.

So you're saying that everything the world does is predicated on a fear of a US invasion?

Has the US invaded China over copyright? Has India been invaded or embargoed over lax IP laws? How about Russia, Argentina, Chile, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand?

Here's the Priority Watch List from the US Trade Representative naming the biggest IP offenders in the world:

https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/USTR%202014%20Special%2...

We can note that the US hasn't sent a "Marine Expeditionary Force" to any country over the issue. The US hasn't even sent a cruise missle to send a message to prolific IP violators. A strongly worded letter has been the extent of the "invasion."

It's getting to be almost comical that the US is being presented as the cause of all that is wrong in the world. The anti-Americanism that's rife here is a bit ridiculous -- we're on Hacker News -- a site that is sponsored by an organization (YC) that's the epitome of American capitalism, located in the epicenter of one of the most successful and valuable regions on the planet: ground zero for the invention of the devices and software with which you're able to read this and type your responses.

It's ironic to be complaining about the country that invented much of the tech you're using right this minute enabled by the very laws about which you complain.

The United States isn't perfect, nobody is disputing that. However, the suggestion that the United States is going to send in the Marines over differences in IP law.. That's just absurd, based on zero logic, and needs to be called out for the nonsense it is.

You seem to imply that they don't realize something might have impact in the future (because it's not what they measure).

It's also possible that they are very aware of it, but just don't care. The modern corporate system, especially in the US, is set up to incentivize favoring short term results over the long term.

If it will make their numbers look better this quarter at the cost of damaging the brand down the road, unfortunately many company will choose that path, even knowingly.

It's not that children are career killers, but rather taking significant amounts of time off is.

It's also unclear if harming your career is even a bad thing to begin, considering the options given (e.g. Don't have children, have children but neglect them, have children and take care of them, but have lower income when the caregiver returns to the work force). Perhaps spending proper time with children, even if it is at the cost of potential income, is worth it.

---

I wonder if mandating that caregivers be able to work while raising their child somehow (perhaps a combination of remote work, daycare and in laws) would be enough to negate the negative effect while preserving the benefits.

I think the Cherokee syllabary gives an idea of what we're missing out on. Quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherokee_syllabary :

> After the syllabary was completed in the early 1820s, it achieved almost instantaneous popularity and spread rapidly throughout Cherokee society.[17] By 1825, the majority of Cherokees could read and write in their newly developed orthography. ...

> .. when Albert Gallatin saw a copy of Sequoyah's syllabary, he believed it was superior to the English alphabet. He recognized that even though the Cherokee student must learn 85 characters instead of 26, the Cherokee could read immediately. The student could accomplish in a few weeks what students of English writing could learn in two years.

Think about the other things our kids could spend time doing instead of learning "i before e except after c or sounding like 'A', as in neighbor or weigh, except for ... oh, just go ahead and memorize this list."

While I agree that a phonetic approach emphasizes one dialect over others, is it really a serious problem?

I mean, Norwegians have two ways to write Norwegian. You mentioned German; in Switzerland, as I understand it, people who speak Swiss German dialect write in standard German.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_dialects describes a variety of dialects, with different numbers of vowels and consonants, and including the Yukchin dialect, which it describes as being a tonal variant.

I personally think we should have regular (every 50 years or so) language reforms. The pros and cons have long been discussed, and are summarized at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-language_spelling_refo... .
L1, L2 and L3 are unstable - if you start to drift away even a tiny bit, that drift gets amplified over time. Staying at one of these points requires at least some station-keeping.

L4 and L5, by contrast, are stable - even if you're not perfectly on the dot, you'll kind of "orbit" around the point if you're close enough. See [1].

These L4 and L5 points have, over the eons, collected many natural satellites (ie. asteroids) which are commonly called Trojans[2].

However, space is really, really big[3] so this isn't of too much concern to spacecraft.

10 things you can't (easily) buy with credit cards
Bearer bonds [1] are intriguing, mechanically and historically. You will note, under the Restrictions section of your Manulife memorandum [2], that its sale outside Canada or to Americans is prohibited. This is because the issuance of such instruments was practically banned in the United States in 1982 [3].

Bearer instruments are, while prevalent, in decline [4]. It is an active area of global financial regulation [5] where even institutions like the Bank of England have to work to get their notes issued and treated properly.

TL; DR A reputable offshore bank might be able to issue a bearer token redeemable for one British pound or Canadian dollar provided they go to great extents to ensure they don't end up in the hands of Americans or anyone in the United States. It would be an uphill battle, however, which in turn necessitates a heavy issuance premium.
