Not much is ever seen of the Federation in ST. But the parent I replied to, and its parent, are referring to the Enterprise.

Also, when I've seen references to ST as the model of utopia, Captain Kirk is often talked about front and center. Clearly, they are referring to the society on the Enterprise.

Actually, the world have inherited something well known from compagnons : the word "chef d'oeuvre". It's translated as "masterwork" in this article, but it's something a bit more specific for compagnons : any compagnon is supposed, at the end of their "compagnonage" (companionhood) to realize their chef-d'oeuvre, the piece that should be the best thing they'll ever do in their live and that will be used as a rite to end their education. It's their thesis, on some sort.
I'd personally recommend:

* The Next Generation (starting point, but be prepared to sit through the slower first seasons).
* DS9
* Voyager (however optionally skip anything from the Kess seasons that you feel like)

I only liked about 1/3rd of Star Trek Enterprise episodes, the entire series is kind of filler. Has that same wasted potential feeling that I got from Stargate Universe; it COULD have been more interesting if the pacing had been better and if they had focused on fitting the stories in to an overall plotline (much more like Babylon 5; which, BTW, you should TOTALLY watch if you haven't).

Star Trek Discovery was good, but is more an edgier more action packed thriller kind of series than the earlier series. I do like where they're going with rebooting the overall universe though and I feel that this brings the modern FX capacity in to the series in a way that makes sense for today.

For something you can show to your parents or if you generally don't get Star Trek, the Orville is a GREAT comedy focused take on the ideas that Star Trek (everything) classically presented, but covering modern social issues.

> You need to brush up on your criminal law, at least in the US and especially when it comes to federal crimes.

You should provide your argument rather than waving your hands non-specifically at federal criminal law.
Many jurisdictions that use them now have the camera record at least three things:

1. A video of the car committing the infraction

2. A photograph of the car's license plate

3. A photograph aimed at the driver's seat, capturing the face of the driver of the car

While you can try to argue the photo of the driver is too blurry or unclear to serve as evidence, it's not as simple as saying "wasn't me". Also, even if you manage it, it's not enough to just say "wasn't me" -- you also will need to provide the name of the person you allege was driving.

False equivalency is a tool that's deployed often on HN these days to steer (or derail) threads. I assume it's due in part to PR/propaganda teams working to manage/manipulate sentiment.

Yeah I would be just fine without Amazon.
These are censored (mozaic), as far as I can see.

I think the social credit thing sounds horrible, but I don't think there's anything wrong with automatic detection of traffic violations. Traffic codes are here to help people stay safe, they shouldn't be conditional on people seeing a cop.
If two groups of people commit the same crimes at similar rates, and individuals in one of those groups are imprisoned more frequently than those in the other group, that's unfair on a systematic level. Nobody here said otherwise.

What aspect of this situation makes the GP's advice untrue? For any individual in either group, the best way to avoid becoming a felon is to avoid committing felonies.
I've been noticing a lot of "down vote wars" on HN lately. I can't tell if it's the increase in users (popularity) or the posts/climate that are becoming more unreasonable. Chicken and egg problem.

It's a good article. Indeed, compiling a programming language is such a complex job that is frankly quickly dismissed and taken for granted. My view is that learning and writing a simple compiler will make most of developers on notch better. The very least you'll understand why parsing HTML or XML with regex is such a bad idea :)

AlchemyList.com – Where to find keto, low- and slow carb foods while traveling
If you have done any amount of traveling outside of your home country, you know how tricky it can sometimes be to find a protein bar, yoghurt or snack that is not loaded with sugar and carbs, without having to decipher a label in a distant language, or stay long enough to find out what is available.

But fear not, I've created a list of the best keto, slow- and low carb foods found in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Estonia for your enjoyment. You can find it all in this public spreadsheet: http://master-list.alchemylist.com

However, there are still lots of countries where there is no information. You can improve the list by editing the spreadsheet, I've already added 200+ countries and territories, anywhere from Andorra to East-Timor.

I also created a discussion group if anyone is interested: http://discussion.alchemylist.com/

Please share your thoughts, and let me know what you think. To add a new product, edit the spreadsheet.
> You are all commenting on a Facebook thread written by Lamo's dad about the death of his son.

I think I understand why you wrote that, but I don't agree. Posts here should be thoughtful and respectful, certainly. But it is not Facebook. I am not an expert about this person who has died, but it appears his story has a public interest dimension. HN is an appropriate place for such discussion. Furthermore, I think you need to remember that this is a global community, containing many people far away from events in the USA. In the event of any death, the vast majority of HN readers are not members of the in-crowd who had some personal connection to that person. This site has a large global readership; it isn't and cannot be a "community" in the local sense that you and dang seem to be portraying it as. (Also, friendly reminder, dang is the moderator but AFAIK you aren't).
I've been waiting for Cloud Postgres as well and wish I could have used it on my most recent project. I was told last month by a "Cloud Specialist" that they were targeting early Q2 of this year to leave beta, but I'll believe it when I see it.

>> Does the United States actually practice slavery in the prison system in any fashion?

> Yes, and there are plenty of articles about it. For example:

Let's look up the definition of "slave":

Prison labor is not slavery, this is clearly shown by the fact that you can't buy or sell prisoners on the open market. Prison labor is involuntary servitude. It's still shitty and in need of reform, but hyperbole does no one any good.
Kind of. Unlike Indian curries, Thai curries traditionally don't use dried species very much preferring a paste of fresh ingredients, usually chilies, onion, garlic, galangal, shrimp paste, etc, and then fry in coconut milk.

In this case it's a yellow curry. Some Thai curries are yellow, but usually "yellow curry" means a Malay-style curry. In a Malay-style curry, the shrimp paste is not necessary and more dried spices are used, particularly turmeric which gives it the yellow colour.

The only suspect thing on this label is <2% chilies!

Pretty sure this idea has been sitting in the back of the mind of anyone really thinking about what technology is now capable of. What happens when all of the "drudgery" is taken out of life, and we can't consume any more media?

There's certainly no way you could put 10 billion people to meaningful work if it takes a million to supply all of the basic needs for those people. Even including all the forms of art we pursue, is there enough "work" to be done that we would value all 10 billion people?

I'm still really hoping for the Star Trek timeline. Yeah, we get blown into oblivion in about 30 years, but the recovery looks like a world I'm happy to work towards. I'm really afraid that we're steadily marching towards 1984, though. I don't know that I believe there's much realistic middle ground between the two.
Why should I? Your approach obviously is going to be to make a laundry list of things you don't like and that you'll claim I somehow do like, and aggressively accuse me of all sorts of things if I don't either give up or assert perfect agreement with you.

What's in it for me to engage with you?

I'm not aware of any study, but having listened to over a hundred audiobooks on the last few years, I would like to share my experience while listing to non-fiction.

My experience is that retention depends mainly on two factors: the amount of attention and quality of the reader. I prefer when the author is the one reading because many of them add comments and a special "energy" to the book.

I find the "car mode" on Audible very convenient to add bookmarks without disruption while I'm driving and I use at the gym as well.

Some books that I want to reference later I buy a paper-copy and mark with a highlighter on the same places I bookmarked on the Audible App.

While listening, the faster I play, the more attention I pay. I start at 2X and if I'm listening to the audiobook a second time, I can go up to 3X. 1X and 1.5X are for engaging parts or when I can't understand what is being said.

One thing I don't do is: listen while not able to pay attention. While dring it can be while going through a toll or navigating through unfamiliar streets.

With all said, the feature that I think is the most useful for retention is the Pause button. This way I can reflect on what I just heard and save the information on my brain's long-term storage.
Automated enforcement is a difference in kind, not a difference in quantity.

The entire structure of penalties was built on the assumption that people would usually get away with infractions. One can speed for years only occasionally having a ticket, but absolute enforcement would make the simplest regular trip have an extreme cost (or jam traffic like never seen before), and most peole would accumulate enough points to lose their license within 20 miles...

With absolute enforcement and penalties for every infraction, the entire set of penalties would need to be reworked. Maybe something like 1c/mph-minute over the limit. Or $1 for blocking a bike lane for 5 min.

I think this project is well done, and I love how easy you've made it to just do up a concept, and get a group of people moving into tokenizing their value stream. I am working on a token for storing genomic data in UPort or Civic wallet, and will integrate with Ocean Protocol and Openmined and other data marketplaces. In looking at the compliance of issuing the tokens, I've found that it is essential to actually embed restrictions in the token (like the rtoken protocol is doing) to make sure it can't be traded by unaccredited investors or outside terms of a reg d lockup. It doesn't seem to matter what your intent is, if you provide the tools by which someone can begin trading an unregistered security, this seems problematic. Have you considered technical measures to prevent this?

Language design goes hand in hand with compiler's design. No wonder we have so many languages being born every year. Different mix of ideas being tried in each of them or forgotten lessons being rediscovered.

2% by volume. How many grams of chiles are necessary for a 312g portion to make it real? If it's more than 6.25 grams than sure, it's cheap curry sauce.

In some ways I prefer the simplicity of Civ 1 over the current Civ 6.

For example, in Civ 6 establishing trade routes becomes really important, but it's impossible to automate. So EVERY time a trader finishes a route you must MANUALLY select which city to trade with. By endgame you're clicking through a dozen trade routes every turn.

Also, unless you decide to annihilate everyone prepare for NPCs to constantly pester you with stupid requests, like trading your capital for a resource of peaches. And then they can keep repeating the same requests. Why can't I just set my disposition to always automatically deny all incoming requests?

The waging war by religion seems incomplete too, you only have two unit types: apostles and missionaries.

I recommend 6 overall but Civ 1 doesn't overcomplicate it, it's still as great today as it was back then.
it's not strange if you're fond of the narrative being shaped as being more anti-iran than a broader context would necessarily support.

I will definitely pay my cap gains on the small amount of coin I sold (BTC->USD within coinbase). But I have no idea about first in first out, when is it a wash if I buy more?

I don't even want to think about trying to calculate cap gains on purchases made with BTC since the price is almost always different even if I buy BTC on coinbase and use it to buy server time 60 minutes later..

To your first point, someone could implement something like Hexel using a distributed ledger, but it would not have the trustless components of tokens that exist on the blockchain.

The first immediate feature of using a blockchain is that token holders do not need to worry about a private distributed ledger shutting down its service. A future feature we have planned is a developer program where anyone can submit smart contracts that do interesting things with tokens. For this to work with a distributed ledger you would need to implement your own public API for interacting with your ledger.

Your assuming that markets are logical.

We now have a solid understanding that human decision making is rarely logical and only barely rational, what makes anyone actually think (rather than believe/assume) that firms really don't act in the same way?
So it sounds like active links between forks is intended to mirror the valid links between people/organizations that are doing business with one another. If people or organizations end their relationship, then there's a way to cutoff any secondary contributors to the codebase to have the ability to make pull requests from -and- receive code updates.

At first blush, I thought, "GitHub is mean and just locking-in their paying customers forever!!" But now after reading the comments here, I think this is a very pretty way to represent the nuances of a fork relationship.

If the original owners of a private codebase disappear, then it is reasonable and just that all of the forks to their code should as well. I believe it's reasonable and just because GitHub have no way to interpret _why_ the original owner dropped off and must respect their ownership by breaking the relationship.
Gusto launches a free HR product for small businesses
I've hacked just a couple games back in the day.

One was this Galaga clone for the TRS-80 Color Computer. The CoCo had a couple analog joysticks [1] which were ergonomically horrible. The player would move the joystick left and right to position the on-screen spaceship. The x-position of the joystick would correspond to where the spaceship would be. However, you couldn't just let the player move the joystick quickly from one side of the screen to the other, that would be "unrealistic" video game physics, and from a gameplay perspective, would make it too easy to dodge incoming bullets.

So the ship would move slowly on the screen until it reached the position which corresponded to the joystick position. This was rather annoying and hard to control.

Since I had seen an article to convert a digital joystick (from an Atari 2600) to be used on the CoCo, I also modified the game code to use a more normal control scheme. That involved searching through the disassembled code to find the joystick polling routine, and patch it out with my on version instead. Which, unfortunately, didn't fit, so I had to jump out to a bit of code past the normal end of the program, and then jump back when finished.

Fun times!
