> Fascism is about dominance. About being a part of the group to which the other is subordinate.

This is utterly correct.

> Which is something that appeals to people who are deeply bitter, delight in suffering (of their own or others), or lack a sense of self-identity.

This is absurd, and does not follow from the first part.

Here's the truth (and you do get this from the article) : anyone who rises a lot in the world, or has that as an ambition, in either popularity or money, would "go nazi". That is very different from actively persecuting people, and that should be clearly understood.

I feel like dropping another 10 points on this site, so may I just make the point. Someone who was born a man (or woman) of some privilege (not necessarily much, but some) and does not really seek to advance, someone who gets his life pre-planned for them, and follows the plan. "Dad was a doctor, and I will be too". Those are the people that do not go Nazi, that, no matter what, will never join.

In other words : rich republicans would be the bastion against Nazism. They would be the people that, no matter what efforts are done, cannot be converted. Doctor families. Lawyer "dynasties".

The Bay Area ... would be a hotbed of Nazism in America. No doubt about it. Nazism has everything that SF wants : loads of young people. Support from universities and "follows science" (read the newspapers from the time). It sings the praises of the poor, gives a clear reason for the poor getting repressed (rich jewish bankers), Nazism hates the status-quo and wants to change it at all costs (even though most people don't nearly realize just how big those costs were going to get. Please keep that thoroughly in mind before judging people).
It's not like hospitals are wildly profitable to run though? I think the inflated costs are due to the little understood phenomenon of "cost disease" rather than owners of hospitals extracting outrageous rent for themselves as I think you are implying.
Or “who inspires/leads the Nazi?” Confusing the rank and file with an obersturmbannfuhrer or someone like Mengele is a mistake.

The Nazis in the article remind me of the political class in Croatia, where I live.

Once socialist one party rule collapsed, the whole ruling class divided itself into political parties and participated in the whole political spectrum, like nothing happened. Some of them became ardent anti-communists, despite being active parts of the old regime.

After ten years of center-right rule, some even switched sides and former nationalists (and before that communists) rebranded themselves as Christian democrats, Europeans, clean shaven centrists.

Some people are simply made for all regimes. They're the Nazis the author talks about.

Hackernews will tell us that we should really be using Wayland, because Wayland will solve the color problem once and for all.

When it comes time to implement the color management stuff into Wayland, it's declared out of scope for the core Wayland protocol, but don't worry guys -- someday, somehow, a consortium led by GNOME will implement it on a DBUS interface that all compositors will understand. At least two, mutually incompatible, such protocols emerge, neither of which fix the underlying issues, both of which are tied to particular compositors.

Meanwhile, we are told that X11 is still horribly, irredeemably broken in this regard and if we haven't yet switched to Wayland, we really should by now.

The professional colorist industry goes on using Xorg on Linux.
So once again, and as usual, the missing ingredient ends up being human leadership, not technology.

And further to that point, the admin side of US healthcare costs have massively expanded - similar to what has occured in education - over the last 30 years.

That 25% share, is about double what it is in Canada (although a few are equally high, the Netherlands is at 20%).

I don't know if I can quite express how wonderful it was to read this. I'm not so naive as to believe it's not because it lines up with my notions, and as said in the article (or implied) there's no sense in talking past your expertise. All I can say is that the Dunning-Kruger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect) seems to be at play in most online discourse, and that certain subjects, especially in an environment of entitlement (i.e. everybody's opinion is "valid" - whatever that means).

OSS can of course spy on you. You just have a reasonable way to audit that software, and find that out for yourself.

If you can audit it yourself, why not use it? I won't follow you on your quest to rid yourself of things created by corporations that I find to be evil.

It's your opinion, sure, but using a corporation's tech does not ensure positive publicity or good will.

Sure, it's the tortured story of Indiana's so-called RFRA act that Pence presided over. It includes several problematic sections.

Section 9 opened the door for this interpretation of the build by pointing out that private contractors often work for the city and state, and specifically protecting the right to object to interacting with LGBT people if "[their] exercise of religion has been substantially burdened, or is likely to be substantially burdened".

This leads to an awkward situation where a private contractor doing police, fire, or (most likely) emergency services work for a company with a religious charter is likely protected in doing so.

What's most interesting about the RFRA (and the bills Pence helped pen but never made it to a vote in House and Senate) is the "overriding" clause, allowing for a explicit defense in state court against people who discriminated, and making it harder for those suing to press for (perhaps in 2015, more strict).

This made the law stronger than prior related RFRA acts of other states and at pre-existing federal law.

The text of the law is available publicly and about a billion perspectives on the law are available online. Give that you almost certainly didn't search for it on google, please let me refer you to "mike pence RFRA Indiana". You can find lots of pro and con to suit your taste.

It didn't really sound like he proposed changes to the ESRB system or anything, but what he said is true. At least in my years, i've felt like games have become more violent, along with media/film/tv.

it seems like he's looking at different things instead of trying to focus on one thing. which before would have been "ban guns."

Not a programmer by trade but I mess around with a lot of the Google APIs for fun. I work in a marketing agency (content strategy) and our team supports dozens of clients. One of the biggest bottlenecks is email response time from clients.

I used the API to go through all of the emails we've received from each client and looked for patterns on date/time of send.

Using that data we get much better response rates by sending emails just before the time when the client will likely be working on email (i.e. the email we send is most likely to be at/near the top of their inbox when they sit down to their computer).
You're correct about the spread of cost disease, it has essentially reached every corner of US healthcare. The part that hospitals are particularly guilty of, is unnecessary admin expense inflation. The US education system has seen an almost identical problem. Building buildings that aren't needed, hiring 10x the admin staff that the system had 30 or 40 years ago, etc. It's the system rewarding itself, bureaucrats hiring more bureaucrats, playing lords as they go on building sprees that aren't needed. There are very few readily available levers in the US healthcare system, that can be used to properly pull back against such cost spirals and spending behavior.

Fragment shaders (which this is) are quite resolution dependent: they are programs which execute at each pixel, so the input size to the algorithm contained in the shader is essentially equal to the resolution (it's not strictly, since other data can be passed in which the program iterates over—but it is fairly uncommon for shaders to make heavy use of loops or recursion from what I've seen).

Is there one that shows dollar amounts instead of growth?

If a dollar amount chart showed the same effect it would do a better job of making the point that chart is intended to make. But I think it is pretty likely that the 1970 administrative baseline is tiny (because in 1970 there were lots of small hospitals run by 1 doctor).
SQIII was great, but IV really was the peak of the series for me. The time travel to future installments (you went to Space Quest 12 I think?) was really well done, and it had a slightly more serious edge that all the others in the series lacked. I remember years later trying to play the cartoonish SQVI and thinking they'd turned it into a terrible caricature of itself, which is a mighty feat.
How is that more egalitarian? It's still a conversion between capital and income.

It's like saying stocks that give dividends are more "egalitarian" because you have to reinvest them in order to gain the same return on investment.

Absurd.

Incredibly poor rebuttal.

1. Saying “you’re unaware and I’m too lazy to post links” means you don’t know enough (and no I don’t care if you’ve immigrated before) to discuss the point.

2. Yes some countries allow people who secure jobs to work in those countries - that doesn’t mean they allow them to become citizens.

3. All countries have confusing immigration systems and tests - boohoo. I have friends from Somalia who live in the United States right now as permanent residents who have not taken any exam. Even so - not a big deal.

4. I didn’t say much about refugees, so for you to suggest that I’m not knowledgeable about the process is a naive assumption you’ve made to argue some silly point.

5. Yes most folks can’t choose their country. Too bad. If every country on the planet opens its borders than fine, if not we are just arguing over arbitrary numbers. Can I without restriction move to Sweden, Switzerland, Japan, or New Zealand? No? Ok then discussion over. I don’t want to hear one single criticism about liberal US immigration policies while the rest of the world is ass-backwards.

6. Yes it’s sad and tragic that some people are born in war-torn countries or countries that become involved in war. Life goes on for the rest of us. I didn’t choose to be not born a billionaire or not born in glorious Germany. You get the hand your dealt and make the best of it. And if the West keeps letting all the best people from these war-torn countries in, there won’t be any good people left to seek justice. It’s amazing the backflips that people will do to justify their racist, imperialist policies while pretending the U.S. is yet again some big bad boogeyman. It makes me sick.
Large income stream with little risk or need for investment.
I thought the issue was that under the same kernel all pages mapped into memory can be read because the processor does not perform the virtual memory checks for the speculatively executing code...which is why the fix involves unmapping pages on context switches. VT-x gives you "physical" isolation not virtual, I thought. Like two VT-x spaces don't share the same page table mappings, do they? I could be completely wrong.
It's the combination of high muzzle velocity with a semi-automatic weapon that is particularly lethal. If we restricted semi-automatic weapons larger than 22 caliber, that would likely greatly reduce the number of fatal injuries in these mass shooting events. It's going to slow the shooter down having to reload each shot.

But: most gun homicides in America happen with handguns. So you'd be banning an entire class of weapons in order to save a relatively small number of lives.

Obviously we've drawn some lines where we consider some weapons too lethal: no one gets to own fully automatic weapons. Or hand grenades. So we'd be deciding that semi-automatic high velocity weapons fall into the "too lethal" category. It wouldn't prevent mass shootings - but it would make events like Las Vegas less lethal. (Of course, there's the separate problem of preventing the newly banned weapons still in circulation from ending up in the hands of would-be mass shooters.)
Probably not. French labor laws are not friendly for business.

Reducing energy use doesn’t necessarily mean reducing expenditures. I mean, reducing expenditures can be good if you’re saving for something else, but you don’t have to.

Instead of buying and fueling the car, you can buy the luxury bicycle.

Instead of flying to Venice, you can rent a sailing yacht. Or whatever is local to your area.

It’s like dieting. The impulse is to reduce, naturally because you’re cutting things out, but eventually you figure out that you can fill your life with other experiences.

Their audience is though- the average age of a Harley owner has been trending upwards for decades. I believe it is somewhere around 67 right now, seriously. There may be some younger people buying Harleys still, but for a very long time the trend has been in the other direction.

If a bundle of stocks worth $1MM at retirement is worth $100k today, then in order to save up $1MM at retirement I need to earn $100k more than I spend. If the stock market goes up 20%, then I now need to earn $120k more than I spend, putting retirement further away. Call options protect against this, giving relatively cheap insurance against huge market upswings.
If I understand it correctly the Trump admin wants to institute something more akin to the AU and CA visa systems --preferring people who fill skills voids in the US. It's not a return to pre-60's policies.

I think this aligns with most other modern economies out there. If anything, we're the outlier allowing randoms to come in without regard to skills or means.

> what you've done here is nice, but your bringing it forward simply doesn't provide enough net societal benefit to warrant legally prohibiting your competitors from copying your work

The interesting thing to me about this is that it is fundamentally not a legal judgment, but an economic one. I think patent examiners should be required to have some background in economics along with whatever legal training they get (and, of course, their subject matter expertise). Similarly for judges deciding patent cases.

Anyway, as I've posted here on HN occasionally, I think the problem of figuring out at patent application time whether the invention is obvious or not is too hard, particularly for a junior civil servant. Instead I propose that the first step in an infringement proceeding should be for the patentee to supply objective evidence, along the lines of the Graham factors, of nonobviousness. The burden of proof should be on the patentee, and the court should evaluate this evidence on its own, without deferring to the examiner. What do you think of this idea?
There has been a string of articles recently how in many immigrant neighborhoods the "illegal" economy eclipses 2-to-1 or more the legal economy.

That means no taxes, no insurance, no worker rights, no unemployment benefits, abuse, theft and violence are rampant.

The dark side of open borders.

And there's your explanation for how immigrants become cheaper. If you have nothing to lose, you steal, abuse and definitely don't pay taxes (by which I mean those actions become rational despite the risk)
Do we really need a quantum internet though? Our current non-quantum encryption system honestly works very well. Symmetric encryption is statistically unbreakable at large enough key sizes. Using a brute-force attack on a 256-bit AES key, it would take billions of years to crack, even with a quantum computer. Given a large enough key size (1024-bits), it would take longer than the heat death of the universe to crack such a key.

For key exchange, quantum encryption is definitely better, but how much better is it than switching to a quantum resistant key exchange algorithm? And switching to quantum encryption would require a complete internet infrastructure overhaul, meaning fiber optics everywhere, all new routers (would packet routing still work?), new cell towers, and no more copper lines for internet.

Is this complete architectural overhaul worth it, just to decrease the chance of being hacked from 1/2^256, to 0? To me the benefits seem marginal.

It reminds me of flying cars: yes it's the future, yes they work, yes we can do it, but is it practical?
I'm really not grokking your math. You said 1 car/minute/line, which on an 8 hour, 5 day shift would yield 2400 cars per week, and then 4800 from two shifts.

Then you said 5000/day, and I think you meant week, which lines up with the previous numbers, but then: how is that 100,000/year? ~5000*~50 is ~250,000/year. Do plants only run for 20 weeks/year?

Also, why only run a plant 5 days/week? It seems (admittedly, entirely naively of any industry knowledge here, like union rules) like each line should be capable of close to 350k/year at 1/minute for 16 hours a day.
