> Then why not tackle the root problem?: Lack of critical thinking skills. I'm not from the US, so I don't know how extensive their philosophy courses are in school, but judging by these repetitive "Russians/bots are manipulating our people" headlines, it's probably lacking.

Because that's not the root problem. This is all a dog and pony show.

There is no transparent mechanism of control for internet publishing like there is for e.g. broadcast media via FCC licensure. The government very much wants to rein in this "Wild West" age of the internet and assert some control over the messaging.

Conditions are very favorable for such a project right now:

a) Centralization on walled gardens like Facebook, Google, et al provides a plausible choke point.

[Right now they're making everything else online "dirty", "bad", and/or "Russian", but don't be surprised when they ban it all together and anything non-Google-or-Facebook-approved becomes part of the "dark web", meaning the place that only dirty, bad Russians go, and which will effectively require special communication equipment to access. Wikileaks is a great case study in this.]

b) There's sufficient angst among the tech-savvy public to fly such controls in under the ironic pretext of "preserving the integrity of our democracy" without stirring up too much of a ruckus.

and c) The mainstream media is looking for any plausible cover story they can find after their disastrous and embarrassing coverage of the 2016 election and will go along with anything that will allow them to save a shred of face. That it paints their main competition (hyper-specialized online media) as dirty and unreliable is a bonus.

This is all very bad stuff, and that people are so easily tricked into following along because they're bitter about a political loss is as deeply disappointing as it is predictable.

I expect that the government will eventually move to establish a set of "identity verification standards" that have to be met or the site will be taken offline by court order. This will essentially end free speech on the web and allow the government to assert its control over what normal people are allowed to access, read, and/or share online.

Bottom line is that you don't have to be a Russian double-agent to be a Republican, and you don't have to be the victim of a pernicious foreign plot to lose an election against the other national political party. If you live in the Silicon Valley bubble, don't let your frustration delude you into believing otherwise.

I use twitter to follow interesting programming people and tech. It works well. Sorry if that doesn't fit your depressing view of twitter.
I think there should be two potential badges for twitter users:
1) Verified identity (as you described)
2) Suspected bot

And you should be able to filter out posts accordingly, like "only showed verified" or "don't show suspected bots".

And by default, Twitter should hide suspected bots in reply/hashtag threads, so they don't get increased exposure.
I honestly don't think wanting to see verifiable evidence before forming a decisive opinion on something is anything near an impossible standard, especially since as you've noted, our governments and newspapers are known to lie to citizens. Anyone who's done any reading on the topic outside of the mainstream knows what you see on TV in the west is a slanted version of the truth at best. And yet, look how absolutely certain people are about their beliefs, but when asked to provide some of the hard-factual content they read to form this rock solid opinion, almost no one has anything other than a downvote. To me, this looks like some sort of a classic mania, and it's quite concerning.
>...even nuclear advocates say those old reactors are unsafe.

No, this is not what people are saying. Those plants from the 50s and 60s have proven to be far safer ways of generating electricity than any alternative. Even today those plants are still safer than rooftop solar or wind and orders of magnitude safer than coal etc. What people have been saying is that new designs are safer than previous designs - passive emergency cooling systems, etc.

Given the political environment in the US, there will likely be little role for nuclear power for at least the next few decades. Instead it will likely be China which builds/deploys nuclear power.
One thing I've learned to do is pre-empt typical moderator responses and answers. For example, I will find things that they might consider to be duplicates and then I will differentiate my post from each. I also outline every solution I've tried. I've had that hit 17 or so and the post was almost comically large.

Moderators are great but when they're bad, they're predictably bad. Use that against them and pre-empt the normal responses they might have. Since I've done this, I've never had a post closed or otherwise reprimanded.
Because he was wrong.

It's true that if human population on Earth grew to the point where there was no room for one more human on Earth, then we'd have huge problems. But this is a) very bloody obvious, b) exceedingly simplified, and c) misses the whole point of what actually happened and what others predicted would happen: that population would stabilize (and even fall, perhaps dramatically) long before we might starve from lack of room to make food in.

First of all, there have been huge advancements in food production technology in all the years since Malthus. Second of all, there are huge advancements in the pipeline (basically indoors vegetables growing with minimal food waste and extreme space-efficiency, and lab printing of meat). Third, we clearly want fewer children when infant mortality is low and life expectancy high. Malthus could not have foreseen all of this, but he certainly lacked imagination, and worse: malthusians in the last 100+ years really didn't need that imagination, just normal powers of observation, and STILL they have all missed how wrong malthusianism was.

"But still, he was right!" No, he wasn't. We could grow and grow and grow if we get off the Earth -- hard to imagine that at this time, but maybe not in a few hundred years. "But we could run out of habitable planets in the Milky Way!" Well, yes, we sure could, but I think that's just not something we should worry about today and for thousands of years yet.

Q: Why are there any malthusians?
A1: Because humans appear to be wired to be pessimistic and alarmist.
A2: Because humans appear to be wired to be pessimistic and alarmist, which means that cynical people / psychopaths can take advantage of the rest of us.
Doesn't make Malthus right.

Even removing the "per second" doesn't quite fix it; a data transfer speed can't be "equivalent" to simultaneously streaming N number of UHD videos; it may be equivalent to the speed necessary to simultaneously stream those N UHD videos.

It should be something like, "... will be capable of transmitting data at 144 terabits per second, roughly the speed necessary to simultaneously stream 5.76 million ultra-high definition videos."

Anyway, it was probably just a brain fart.

NT 3.x was mainly pushed as a server OS targeting Novell Netware. On the PC side it never made sense unless you bought one of these discount surplus Multias.

I worked at a F500 and two times DEC reps came into sell NT/Alpha, and both occasions, they couldn't get the machines to boot. I wonder how much of that NT/Alpha just for marketing, because DEC was selling a lot of x86 servers in those days.

The Pentium Pro 200Mhz was better than or close-enough to RISC processors in most standard benchmarks that most businesses seem to decide "good enough", and that was the beginning of the end of the end of the server processor wars.
That's a good idea. I am thinking of its possible use cases.

> A benevolent dictatorship cannot exist et alia because a person cannot live for ever and I simply don't know how you could assure that the transition from one benevolent dictator to another when the first one ceases to be competent. For instance, let's presume that Xi Jinping is the perfect president of China. When he dies or retires or becomes too ill to govern, will the PRC be able to select a new perfect president to replace him? or will they choose someone who is inclined to serve their own interests and was able to benefit from Xi's time? This is the ultimate problem of a benevolent dictorship: it cannot assure state continuity and stability beyond the effective lifespan of the dictatorship.

Agreed, this is why a dictatorship is generally not a wise idea. I certainly cannot assure a transition to another benevolent dictator, but what's interesting if you peruse the comments here, the overwhelming sentiment of people is that they can assure that a successful transition can not and will not happen, ever, full stop. As you may have noticed, I often have a bit of an issue with self-proclaimed mind-reading, future-telling, and other supernatural capabilities. You would expect this sort of thing among the general public or on Reddit, is it too much to ask for a higher standard on HN? It would seem so.

As for my last sentence, admittedly I'm guilty of taking out my frustrations with HNers in general (for the above stated reasons) on you, in response to your absolutist stance (No benevolent dictatorship has ever existed); perhaps no major nation in recorded history been led by a purely benevolent dictator, but if we had access to a truly omniscient being to settle this disagreement, I'd happily throw down a $100 wager that many truly benevolent (to the best of their abilities) dictators have led smaller, less famous groups of people on many occasions throughout history. Perhaps I have too much faith in humanity at its best.

To be clear, I'm not a proponent of serverless at all. I'm just pointing out in isolation that zipping and shipping something is not antiquated, it's just a methodology for shipping code. I guess it feels old because it's not wrapped up in a lickable CLI and online docs with great typography, but it's not fundamentally flawed.

To your point, I don't see any value of serverless over containers today. We are now at a point where container orchestration is mature enough that it's a sane default choice, but it took a while to get here. Serverless is where containers were 5-7 years ago (depending how you squint).

Will serverless ever be a credible replacement for containers? That depends on the vendors working out a whole lot of details. In theory, with the right services around it, serverless can be lighter than containers because they can fully control the baseline environment and build more into it, but that is also less flexible than containers. How much standardization will be possible between vendors? If the price comes down and the tradeoffs look good enough then I could see it eating into container marketshare, but I'm really not holding my breath. It's still 100% in the hype phase.

Opiate addiction isn't related to how wholesome your friends are.

I also don't run in the most wholesome group of friends (at least by traditional standards) and also don't know any opoid users.

However, every time I walk to the supermarket I walk past a park where there's about half a dozen heroin addicts shooting up. They just do it in plain sight. There's also needle deposit boxes in all the public toilets and alleyways. Just the other day I saw a dead addict being wheeled into an ambulance.

Opiate abuse isn't related to how wholesome you are. There are plenty of god-fearing addicts.

This is a very misguided metric. A CEO Of a small company with 100 employees and $20MM annual revenue is going to be compensated very differently from a CEO of a giant company with 200,000 employees and $40B+ in annual revenue. Although their line workers may have similar skills, jobs, and compensation. A 1000x ratio may be too much for the small company CEO and way too little for the giant company's CEO.

Fortunately, shareholders can dedcide and influence each company's Board. There is no need for the government to get involved unless politicians are trying to raise another witch hunt for distracting peasants.

Niger's populations has doubled from 11 to 22 million over just the last 10 years. The population today is about 10x the 2.5 million it was in 1950, and the growth rate is higher now that it was decades ago - near an all-time high it only first reached in 2010. That's some progress! [1]

The median age in Niger is 15 years old, Niger has the highest fertility rate on earth at 7 children/piece, but despite that "women and men alike in Niger say they want more children than they actually have – women want an average of nine, while men say they want 11." [2]

Obviously there are going to be massive strains in trying to deal with a skyrocketing population like this, but that's exactly my point. I'm not putting a lot of weight into you flatly stating that it's "absurd" compared to the actual facts & trends and the UN's projection. And frankly the scenarios wherein these projections don't come to pass ... most likely would look pretty Malthusian.

lol these things aren't going to be priced per LED. Just like you don't pay per transistor when you buy a chip, you're not going to pay per diode when you buy a microLED display.

The costs scale with device area, not device count. This is because these devices are made with lithography on a wafer. A single silicon wafer would produce 5000 diodes, or it may produce 5,000,000, depending on how small you make each one.

For what it's worth, my experience with Parcel so far has been a show stopping bug that makes CSS Modules unusable with it, was quite difficult to diagnose (as with any bug in a dependency, I spent yonks looking at my own codebase), and has so far gone un-fixed.

Population remains limited by resources.

No, it's not, and that's what's so surprising. As nations become wealthier, the birth rate goes down, not up. And it goes down by a lot; more than 50%. All the way down below replacement rate.

The US passed "peak baby" in 2007. Outside of Africa, all the major world regions are past "peak baby".[1] Population seems likely to level off around 2050.
