out of curiosity how do you dox a public brand with a PR number and public address?

Don't conflate publishing individual's private information with posting public relationships. It is grossly unfair to the victims of actual doxxing and subsequent harassment to claim that this is equivalent.

This made me wince. I know it's perfectly acceptable American but that one's definitely a low blow for an aging Englishman.
Yes, filters that big of any quality would cost more than the $133 fisheye lens he used and add one more thing that could go wrong. I'd gladly sacrifice a $1300 lens to capture a rocket launch that close. Mitigating lens damage is simply something no professional photographer is going to care about in that situation.
Doesn't mention anything like 0-60 or 1/4 mile times. I can't tell how well the 1300+ hp translates into real world stats.

Impressive for sure though. Being reported to Homeland Security is funny.
I have not. I'll have to check it out.

The Midwest sees educated people as an inconvenience or a threat?

Goddamn. Where did you get that idea from? Clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about.

The problem is that it’s stagnanted over here. NAFTA destroyed the way of life for a lot of mid-westneners. Made people poor. Made want. Destroyed the mechanisms, the entry level, manual jobs, that people used to pull themselves up by.

Municipalities got into a vicious cycle of loss of tax base feeding into loss of services feeding into even more loss of tax base.

For starters, to get an idea of what’s going on over here, I’d recommend you watch both Detropia and Flint Town. Get a little taste of reality and see the people you’re trying to crap on. Everyone here, everyone sees that value and importance of education. Every parent, even in the most down-trodden neighborhoods with the worst schools, wants this for their children. Again, loss of tax base, loss of jobs, increased violence.

Assuming you live on one of the coasts, you’ll get yours. Just wait until the underfunded pension systems finally blow.

Can’t believe I just read such a level idiocy on HN.
> Where is my equal representation

No one said anything about "equal representation". I think people have just gotten tired of the dull pastiche of chisel jawed Ryan Seacrest types that dominated American film and television for so long. There's some value in seeing stories that feature people that look like you or have similar backgrounds, but more importantly there's a lot of value in hearing stories about people who aren't like you. I think I personally get a lot out of art by and about people who are very unlike myself.

If you're looking for art and film that speaks to your background and identity, it exists. But you're right there could be better treatments of people like you. It's not like theres some artificial limit on the amount of art that can be produced, so I think there's room for everyone.

>Perhaps it is up to us to learn to find and identify parallels where they exist, and not demand that a superficially homogeneous majority accommodate to each minority. Not to mention the problem with presumed outrage not on other minorities' behalfs.

In the US we have a really incredible capacity to bring a lot of different types of people to the table, and let them define for themselves what their Americanness means. It seem to me that pusing for our art to reflect this positive aspect of our culture is a good thing.

>Don't you think it a bit dangerous to teach children that they can only find inspiration and parallels in cinema if the protagonist looks and speaks like they do?

I don't think anyone is saying children should only find inspiration in representations that look like them, that would be silly. However it is easier to imagine yourself in the place of someone who is at least superficially similar to yourself. So if that's what it take for some kid to realize they can do great things, then I'm all for it. I don't think broad representation takes anything away from anyone.

On the other hand, you're also one or two more mutexes from misunderstanding the execution of your application. In my experience, mutexes are very hard to reason about, particularly when you push them down to a fine grain, and drawing them out on a whiteboard doesn't help.

One suggestion for actors is to look at the actors as elements of serialization, rather than as elements of concurrency.

rambus ram had lots of banks, theoretically it was much much faster, but Intel needed to change it's CPU<->north bridge protocol to handle those out of order transactions (new CPUs, new north bridges, new sockets, new mother boards ....) and that didn't happen so rambus's expected performance boost was a bust

>I'm not a programmer, cryptographer, sysadmin etc

WELL THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM!

I'm a latecomer to two of those three things, but they're tremendous specs for shut-ins! Due to tons of moving, the most and best friends I've ever had have been people online, so maybe my psyche is too warped to feel the lack of physical interaction. In fact, I think the real world is a terrible place[0], and my ability to express myself is much greater here. But online social life is much like real life social life; friends come and go, enemies are eternal, and, if you don't try to meet new people, making new connections becomes harder. Enter programming and nerd stuff. I've become more disconnected from my online friends, most of them non-technical, as I sank deeper in an online introversion of stuff they can't relate to like makefiles and Linux. I've become less interested in things that aren't those things, eroding our common ground. I can't even hold conversations anymore unless they're about how awful Gnome 3 is! Conversely, contact with the VERY FEW nerdy friends I've had and still find is higher than ever, but that's a small crowd. And they can't like me that much because most of them are smarter than me, so all I do is leech them for knowledge, which is not how you build a healthy relationship, hesti -- it's gotta be a symmetric take AND give!

But they don't have to like me; I like them, and I'm locked in an eternal struggle of autism to feel several human emotions.

It does, but there are conditions that apply. Some companies don't like going that route - which in my opinion is not a thing, but I can't understand the concern.

But for testing, I don't see any impediment.
Advice from someone with minimal knowledge on a matter doesn't add to the discussion. You don't know enough to understand what you are passing on or know if its correct, to put it in useful context, to answer follow up questions.

Everyone has an uncle, brother, mother, friend whose a doctor/scientist/authority of some variety. They usually are as ill informed and wrong as the general populace but use their mother/brother/friend/second cousin for imagined and unwarranted borrowed authority.

Borrowed authority is actually such a fantastic sign of bad information that if someone said my brother the professor of mathmatics says 2+2 is 4 I would pull out my calculator to check if this was so.

Its also a logical fallacy to suppose that because I don't support your contribution to the discussion that I support the position that people should eat their kids meds. Someone can disagree with you or some detail of your discussion without acquiring the beliefs of whomever you are arguing against or imagine you are arguing against. Try to stick with what people actually say and argue that.

Lastly the idea that there is no middle ground between being educated enough on a matter to discuss it and consulting said professional before posting is disingenuous. You needn't be a doctor to discuss medicine on the internet just educate yourself on the matter rather than passing on slightly wrong anecdotes from prior conversations.
I don't really disagree with that. It's also a reasonably good way (most of the time) to avoid really bad choices. I certainly don't love Yelp but it's often better than alternatives when traveling. It's not like I find asking for recommendations at a hotel necessarily yields great results either.
> There is a philosophically problematic presupposition that also figures in widespread surprise at the very idea of violence perpetrated by Buddhists — that there is a straightforward relationship between the beliefs people hold and the likelihood that they will behave in corresponding ways.

Bingo! This is maybe compounded for Buddhism because, chances are, your average western person knows few or no people who are Buddhist in the way Myanmar's people are (i.e., have it woven into their cultural and ethnic identity). I imagine that most westerner's associate Buddhism with the laughing genial Buddha statue, or celebrities who subscribe to what this article describes as "blandly nonreligious mindfulness meditation now becoming more ubiquitous even than yoga".
What you've stated is true by the technical definition of the term, but lobbying in the _common vernacular_ of the United States is synonymous with paying money. You can throw dictionary definitions around all you want but it doesn't change how it's commonly used.

The same issue comes up with the word theory to scientists vs it's meaning in the common vernacular.

As to your second part about corporate entities being prohibited from donating money to campaigns, excuse me while I set up a PAC to donate funds to a senator who is aware that I donate to the PAC and that I would really appreciate it if I got a tax break.

So damn spot on. Read it.
I disagree. Think about it less as a notch in the screen, but as an extra screen around the notch. I'm looking at my phone and it has the camera and speaker above the screen, but the sides are just empty black space. If I could, I would absolutely want to have extra screen there, to display the time or notifications. So yes, I would absolutely pick a phone with a notch over a phone without it.

I'd go further. On many topics, the Overton Window shattered.

Let me start with the idea of a "personal Overton Window". It's the positions that an individual thinks are within the realm of reasonable discourse. Then society's Overton Window is composed of a bunch of individual ones.

So, 40 or 50 years ago, it was clear to about 95% of people that gays could not marry. Those 95% gave society a clear Overton Window on the topic.

But today, maybe 30% of people still have gay marriage outside their personal Overton Window. Maybe 40% not only have gay marriage in their personal Overton Window, but it is outside their personal Overton Window to not be totally accepting of gay marriage. This means that 70% of the population excludes at least 30% of the population from their personal Overton Window. As a result, no societal Overton Window is possible - we're just left with a bunch of conflicting personal ones.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16523268 links to the Nature abstract showing it's critical temperature is under 2 kelvin, so that's low even for cryogenic superconductors.

It's interesting because it's very high temperature given certain properties of the material; if that is confirmed, it may allow greater understanding of superconductivity, which may allow other materials to work at higher temperatures.
Can this be used for simple IPFS file hosting with pinned files?

I'm building a small web app and want to use IPFS for image storage. In testing I was able to create the files but after a few months of not running the IPFS daemon the images are lost as they are no longer pinned.

Yes it is, especially in the US. A "successful" person lives in subdivisions, cul-de-sacs, or nimby enclaves, we're in our cars most of the time to get anywhere because everything is too far to walk except for exercise. There's little expectation of shared culture other than the weather, and on top of that there are very few spaces that people can mix together without sharing a hobby.

If you go out to a suburban or rural area, you have 4 socializing options: the grocery store (not very good for actually meeting people), the bar (if an alcoholic and can afford it), the church (if religious), or the school (if you have kids). Guess what happens to most 18-30 year olds with no kids in those areas? They either move, become religious zealots, get addicted to drugs, have a family at a young age with dicey economic prospects, or completely lose themselves to video games. We need to create better, denser spaces where culture and socialization can thrive in american towns and cities.
Objective-C is a superset of C though, so you might as well write the platform specific stuff in an .m file rather than messing around with the .c API for Objective-C. :)
I got a good laugh from the next part:

> Satan, pretending to be offended by your skepticism, asks "Whose signature do you trust? Just say the name, and I will have them sign my class. Would you like Microsoft to sign it? There's a guy over there who owes me a favor." You come to the conclusion that a signature cannot by itself transform a suspect class into a fully trusted class, so you decide that you need a more credible security mechanism.
I always mention in the following context:

"When necessary I will work overtime, but I prefer not to. I do not normally stay extremely late because I have a child that I care to see."

If a company reacts negatively to that, I will not accept the job. If they later complain I will remind them that I mentioned this before even starting. And most people are understanding, or you just don't want to work for them.
'Sometimes even newspaper critics' - oh man this is harsh. I don't like the biases that newspaper critics tend to have but Pete Wells and Ruth Reichl at the Times, Sietsema (previously at the Village Voice, now at Eater) all do excellent reporting.

But I agree that it all pales in comparison to amateur enthusiast communities and specialist blogs.
When you say "represented by unions", do you mean the unionization rate or the coverage rate?

In terms of unionization rate, in 2016 Canada was at 28.4% [1]. By comparison, the US peak was 34.8% in 1954 [2] . (It is now 10.7% [3], which is slightly higher than 10%, not less than.)

While the "~" can justify a rounding to the nearest 10% instead of 5%, that ended up hiding a difference of 6.5%, or 1/5th of the total unionized population. From what I can tell, the current rate of around 28% corresponds to the US unionization rate in about 1970 [3], and not its peak in 1954.

The US peak of 34.8% is closer to the Canadian peak of 37.9% in 1984 than it is to 30%, and corresponds to the Canadian unionization rate in 1991 [1].

The coverage rate for both countries is of course higher. For 2017 in Canada it was 30.4% [5] and in US is was 11.9% [3].

I think it's really exciting and a great way to provide internet access to areas of the world that don't have infrastructure for cables.

If they can get the latency they're talking about (that Wikipedia page says 7ms, which I assume is round-trip to the satellite), that would be pretty good. If you're on fiber, you should have sub-millisecond latency to the point of presence. Then the question becomes: which is the shorter path, the satellite-to-satellite path or the transit/dark fiber your fiber ISP is using?

I'm not sure how the math works out, but I'd assume for shorter paths (say, your closest AWS region) fiber is going to come out on top, whereas for trans-continental traffic the satellites could be really competitive.

For example, I am getting 6ms total round-trip-time from NYC to AWS in Virginia.

By virtue of it being your favorite, I would think it's doing something right. But glibness aside, you could think about as you read: Is it fully engaging you? Is it communicating a complex idea in a simple and/or novel way? Is it making you feel something? Does it make you want to do something? These are all good markers, because writing is really just about communicating ideas well.

And if you don't trust your own judgment, you could look up some of the time-tested classics. Some of my favorites: The Great Gatsby, To Kill A Mockingbird, 1984 (fiction); Warren Buffett/Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letters (business/sales writing).
This article demands that an entire industry conform to the author's own personal opinions on how society is and that educating people about this author's belief is the most important thing in the industry. The character's in a host of movies aren't poor enough, stereotypical enough, don't escape poverty the right way or poverty isn't the single most thematic event in the storyline.

I even agree with the author that conceptually government assistance & social services is important; it just isn't going to make for an exciting core piece of entertainment. While the author nitpicks that no movie goes far enough I would look at it like making progress. The analogy for me is giving a child vegetables. You don't try and force feed raw vegetables to a child as the primary meal because nutrients are important. Instead, you cook it into a balanced (and hopefully better tasting) meal so it can be easily digested.

Yes this analogy has flaws; but I am contrasting the author's craving for essentially a social services documentary with actual reality & entertainment.
We love The Wirecutter and is something we look to a lot from The Infatuation. Their content is fairly "evergreen" and useful. They cover utility aspects great, but generally feel like they don't take design/taste/style into account.

Confirmed that 2.2.5 on Ubuntu 16.04 works with NIST P-256 for SSH authentication.

For future reference, installing GnuPG 2.2.5 turned out to be easier than I expected. I visited http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnupg2/, downloaded the .deb I wanted, tried installing with dpkg -i, and then downloaded further dependencies until it worked.

Last time I tried, I built GnuPG from source, which ended up with something that mostly worked, but it failed my personal sysadmin test of being able to remember how I did it in case I needed to build a new machine with the same characteristics.
