I have observed a wide range of attitudes towards deception. Both deception of one's self, and of others.

For example: For some people being 'a liar' is one of the worst things imaginable, but to others it is perfectly fine. The former judge the latter as being immoral monsters, the latter think the former are rather sweet (and are perhaps also glad the former exist?).

Regarding deception of one's self: some people feel there is an absolute truth that can be known, whereas others may choose their reality and belief systems to fit their needs in any given moment.

I'm describing opposite ends of two spectrums here, rather than categories.

I think people make assumptions about where Musk is on those spectrums.
The comments here don't seem to capture the importance of the "Boy" part. Imagine we were mostly drugging girls. The headlines and reactions would be greater.

The story recalls how when Michelle Obama publicized #BringBackOurGirls, laudably promoting saving many innocent girls from kidnapping and worse, Boko Haram had been burning alive and hacking to death many innocent boys for years to little western outcry.

We keep changing our culture from the world our emotional systems evolved to handle. Then we declare groups sick who can't handle the change, which happen to be boys mostly, and drug them.

When we create problems for girls, we ask "what have we done?", recognize we're hurting them, and try to change the culture we created stop hurting them. We may take time, but we don't want to hurt them.

When we create problems for boys, we say "we'll fix you," as if they were broken. If boys' behavior was adapted to a different world than sitting in rows for most of the day, why don't we change the culture we created to stop hurting them?

I’ve been a happy Verizon FIOS customer for 12 years. For $140 per month I have TV with every pay channel, landline phone and gigabit Internet. The gigabit is relatively recent but I get full gigabit speeds for up and down and it is amazing. I think you’re right that I don’t believe Verizon would’ve offered this at this price without the threat of Google and other competitors.
Ask HN: As a dev, how do you get better at devops? Are AWS certs worth it?
So for the past few years, I've done some deployment/setting up my servers on AWS, but I feel like I'm just really doing the basic things.(setting up a VPC, spinning up servers etc.) I'm still in the process of thinking/coding a SaaS indie-hacker style and I feel like my skill level in this area is really lacking.

How did you get better, aside from the whole keep on trying stuff out/experimenting? I'll put in the work, just looking for some learning optimization (books, Youtube channel, whatever) if any exists.

For people who've dived into the AWS cert, or structured learning, is it worth it? The cert is not the most important thing (though I'll do my best to pass the exam if or when I take it in the future), what matters is that I gain the skillz, but I do want some sort of roadmap/structure, and I imagine some other devs think the same.
Thanks!

> So if a court in country X finds the fact that tracking non FB users is illegal the Americans should side with the criminal because X!=USA, Google and FB are the biggest companies that do this illegal things so it is so obvious that citizens and organization with sue this big companies and not some obscure forum in country X(if there is such small company that can even track users outside it's own website)

Not sure if I understood what you meant. I'm not saying that they should, I'm saying that they often do. At least on HN.
The US has higher fiber penetration as a percentage of broadband subscribers according to OECD: http://www.oecd.org/sti/broadband/1.10-PctFibreToTotalBroadb... (11.8% versus 9.5%). The US average connection speed on Akamai’s study are also about double that of France: https://www.akamai.com/fr/fr/multimedia/documents/state-of-t... (18.7 mbps versus 10.8 mbps; 48% of the U.S. has a connection above 15 mbps, versus 18% of France).
This kind of corporate doublespeak never fails to raise my blood pressure.

Of course, this didn't stop people from interpreting the texts differently. Surely this has always been controversial and caused major strifes and wars between different Christian fractions. Isn't that pretty similar to how Islam has hundreds of different interpretations? http://theconversation.com/why-is-islam-so-different-in-diff...
I read your link, and I think it depends on what "being in" means in the phrase "data subjects who are in the [European] Union". It could refer either to physical location (as in "I am in Germany") or to membership (as in "Germany is in the EU"), or possibly to both. I would also expect it to refer to physical location after reading this, but I'm most definitely not a lawyer.
I am saying there are different classes of what you are lumping under problem solving skills. Coming up with a new cake recipe does not involve building a new oven or measuring system. It's a well constrained problem. Use known techniques and apply some time and money gets a new recipe.

P vs NP on the other hand might not be possible to solve.
Journalistic hyperbole? Take something that is controversial and exaggerate the negative side (e.g. everyone hates Trump when he clearly still has supporters).
What? That would've been less creepy if he had actually gotten a lap dance.
I've always found these pseudo-3D effects (including the slight "floating-icons" effect applied to iOS wallpapers) to be unconvincing in real life.

I suspect they look much better in demo videos like this because there's no depth information in the objects surrounding the phone either -- the person's hand, the floor/desk behind them, etc. This makes it much easier for one's brain to map "pseudo-depth" onto the entire video.

In real life, you have depth perception for everything except the images on your phone's screen, making a demo like this look "flat" even at its most convincing. Real 3D requires two distinct visual inputs; this is a gimmick.
And an improvement in productivity was a side-effect of said therapy. I fail to see your point.

Xray – An experimental next-generation Electron-based text editor
Google might have made the $70 price point happen. But I’m not sure I’d overstate it. AT&T and Verizon are deploying gigabit in places where Google will never go. Verizon's gigabit upgrade happened after Google had already paused Fiber expansion. Comcast started offering $150/month multi-gig in my town long after that too.

I strongly suspect 5G is instead causing renewed interest in fiber deployment. Comcast wants to get in on a cellular/wifi hybrid service, and for that it needs backhaul.

I think the effects of "fake" journalism would be mitigated somewhat if we didn't have laws against slander, libel, and false advertising.

The media-consuming public in the United States still believes that "if it is in print, it must be true" - they haven't been inoculated against falsehood like they would have been otherwise. Presumably, if there were no expectations of truth in print/media to be enforced by some magical (and actually sort-of non existent) federal authority, media outside the "trusted" sources would be automatically suspect unless reviewed by some other trusted third party.
Both of course.
For me a populist is rather "one who makes attractive but unrealistic political promises" (needless to add "leaving out any related unattractive foreseeable consequences"). In this regard I think there are noticeable distinctions between political parties, where some are more open or straightforward with their electorate about their road-map, and are counting more on factual based political trust than on emotional induced one.
What, if you get screwed by Google do you ue all the companies or only Google?

Or say Intel users that are now sewing on the meltdown bug should they get involved in AMD too from some feeling of solidarity?

In this case someone did something illegal and someone else complained to the justice, should they first find all (I hope you understand what all means, aka don't forget anybody) and try to do what? start 1000 processes in justice? It makes sense to start with the bigger criminals, if the court decides favorably then you continue to the next ones.
How to make a Pyramid out of Paper
France had Minitel before the Internet was a consumer-product.

It's true that Europe does "disruptive" startups less, because people don't like being disrupted as much, but it's not true that France is a land of tech-illiterate peasants. It's just that the tech is done in large, somewhat lumbering but nonetheless profitable, megacorps.

Fwiw, $140 is quite a lot. We shared what everyone was paying for Fios here at work. I'm on the upper end of $65 for 50/50 (no TV). The lowest we found was 1G for $40.

You can simply use Google and check the facts out for yourself, it's common knowledge (children even learn this data in school in the EU). There were no sources in the comment I replied to either. Someone also replied with one of these sources. How can my argument be US centric when I'm European and have never even visited the US?
How is that not just a straight what aboutism?

Also, the USA lacks the infrastructure to block websites. They have to cut them off at the source, get every ISP to somehow cooperate, or maybe blow aware their DNS, but there is no equivalent of the Great Firewall of China.

Finally, to believe that everything is just black and white and that because the USA does X and the other country does X that they are on the same scale is itself a fallacy.
^This.

As a teenager growing up in the UK I played cricket for my school and a local team, and when I was about 14 I had the "pleasure" of facing roughly four balls bowled by the Legendary West Indies cricketer Viv Richards[1] when he visited my school. I somehow managed to get the bat onto the first ball and score a 4, at which I foolishly celebrated shouting something along the lines of "in your face, I thought you were a professional cricketer!" What a stupid, stupid thing to do.

There then followed a three ball lesson in bodyline bowling until I literally lost my bottle and refused to carry on leaving the wicket with what little dignity I had left. Seriously, seeing that giant six-foot tall man taking a run-up and then bowling a cricket ball at my head at what seemed like supersonic speed literally scared the crap out of me.

It begs the question: would a digital equivalent work just as well? What does the physical version bring - 3d? If this helps to visualise the data, are there decent tools for collaborative 3d graph editing that include the ability to move the camera, etc.?

The article says:

"Next up we tried an Excel document, but no one looks forward to tracking their time in an Excel document. We wanted something visual and tactile. Something that would cause conversations to happen and be fun to use."

which I totally take on board, but the lego equivalent, however fun it might be, just might not always be practical. Essentially, I'm thinking is there an equivalent that's less like Excel and more like Minecraft ;-)
Introducing Witnet: smart contracts with real power
I'm not sure that telling the SEC that there is no absolute truth in the universe is going to fly.
Personally, I found it took me much longer. I watched Karpathy's lectures, took notes and stewed upon the ideas, and read a bunch of other materials such as blog posts and research papers to try and truly comprehend some of the concepts mentioned in the course.

I found myself knowing how to create CNN's, but the why of the entire process still feels under-developed. But I'll admit it could be because my understanding of Calc and Linear Algebra was far more under-developed back when I was studying the course than it is now.
10 Best US Colleges for App Developers
Because that destroys a whole industry of sites that are not good enough for people to pay for them, but thanks to the economy of scale, they can create quality content (and a living out of it) anyways. Your claim that it is not needed is proven not true by the very existence of these sites. There are many blogs that are sole income of many people, this will now cease to exist. How is that a good thing? This argument works on a free market; the free market that we had no longer exists and your argument is thus invalid, the state of market no longer represents the needs of people, it represents the will of the government and nothing else.

You overgeneralize. There are many sites with normal ads than don't disturb the users much. And again - no user experience (on a non-existent site) is better than degraded user experience? Why don't you just stop visiting the site when it doesn't matter to you if the site ceases to exist and let us others do what we want to do?

> PS: I think a similar argument can be made for Tesla. I don't think it is a given that Musk intends for Tesla's success to be an economic one.

I think it is though, but probably not in the automotive industry; ATM it still has a lead, just like Apple had for a while on the smartphone market, but I think it'll be passed left and right by the competition.

But by then, Tesla won't be (primarily) a car company anymore, but a battery company, a solar power company (= energy company), and a company with the largest recharge station network in the country. Selling energy and charge stations will be the next generation's oil industry, and Tesla's taking charge there.
That number is only higher because the US has fewer broadband subscribers (per inhabitant); the denominator is smaller. The fiber penetration per 100 inhabitants is the same in both, 4%: http://www.oecd.org/sti/broadband/1.2.OECD-FixedMobileBB-201...
I really like this. For certain industries & situations, you really do need a visual way to represent where your time is going. I've found this to be an area lots of developers seem openly hostile too. I used to do something similar with post-it notes segmented into quarters. This was at an agency where we were working on fixed price/deadline projects.

Another commenter here asked if a digital version would be as good. From my own experience, when we digitized the post-it notes it just became another reporting/time tracking setup. The physical aspect of it made it very obvious to the project/product managers as they were stuck up in on a whiteboard in the middle of the office. When things started spilling off the edge and all the way over the wall [1] then it was pretty obvious something was up :) We also used the placing of them to kick off standup in the morning.

It was important to remind ourselves/higher-ups that the tracking wasn't meant to be very detailed/accurate but instead indicative and a springboard to guide the weeks planning conversations. To that end, I think it was very effective.

That doesn't take population spread into consideration though; Norway has most people live in the south, like how most people in Canada live near the south / southeast and how there's huge empty / low population areas in the US compared to the more urbanized east and west coast.
I can only hope for the EU that their economic incentive remains strong enough to prevent foreign companies from totally pulling out, resulting in the EU market becoming bleaker and bleaker. And it's not even the current companies that I worry most about - they often have already invested too much to withdraw because of this - it's the new companies that may flat out refuse to enter the EU market.

The GDPR is yet another regulation that adds a lot of liability with the risk of huge fines for a foreign company. And while no regulation in itself is ever going to be enough of reason, it's the plethora of regulations that is, and the more it grows, the more companies will feel it reached the tipping point for them, which may result in either withdrawal or refusal to serve the EU market. If this proves true, EU citizens should expect to see a lot more of "We're sorry, this service is not available in your country" messages. And it's already pretty bad from what I've heard.

Note: I'm not saying Emirates will pull out because of this, they won't. I'm also NOT against the GDPR and I totally understand the need, I just wish it would be regulated on a more universal level. Same with copyright regulations.
JWTs are small enough that they can fit in a URL most of the time. So there's always that option.

I think this is an odd defence to follow if indeed this is a defence. It's as if a convicted criminal demands to overturn the conviction because some other (alleged) criminals haven't been on trial yet.
"It also happened to use an actual classified military code word in the context of explaining what a classified military code word was and how they were used."

Was the true meaning of the code word described, or might it just have been a coincidence? Like, if I used the words "CASE NIGHTMARE PINK" as an example of a military code word, and it just so happened to be a real military code word? Because stuff like that is probably bound to happen.
"Christianity itself, on the other hand, is almost has nothing to do with politics according to the new testament."

Christianity has everything to do with politics. A critical facet of Roman empire were various religious cults. These were effectively replaced by christian service.

Constantine's embrace of christianity can be considered as a similar event as Mohammed's ride to Mecca:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_the_Great_and_Chri...

Where Islam was crafted as a utility to govern Mecca, early Christianity after Constantine was basically crafted with the politics of governing Rome as one of the constraint. Regardless of the piety of early church fathers, their designs for the organization and creed were to govern the lives of people in a very concrete way. Hence - politics.

For a thousand year (or so) the Roman Catholic church was the kingmaker in Europe.

The rise of lutheranism was as much political movement as religious. While Luther's theology provided the philosophical context, the political driving force were german princes who were envious of the political power and wealth of the catholic church.

http://omaryoussefworldhistoryais.blogspot.fi/2011/10/why-di...

I would also like to point out that early Islam was far more tolerant of other creeds than early state christianity.
