How would you define 'fringe', and how does this not include views that are less pro-state?
> people don’t share those concerns and would happyily welcome a little passive income stream in their lives.

This is what I gathered from moviepass privacy thread on HN. Most people didn't care about sharing location if it gave them cheap movie tickets.
It's a fair assessment. There are almost no Ada programmers available. There will be less and less in the future.

It's a difficult language, on par with C++. It's tough to learn, even if you already have a decade of C++.

I think it's fair to pick Ada for that kind of project but it is also fair to avoid it. Either decision is justified.
The list does not appear without allowing 3rd party javascript (and presumably tracking) by Google :/
You claimed that there is no Chinese middle class. Are you saying home ownership is not a sign of middle class? I did not claim China is rich or even well off by US standards.

How about: http://www.travelweekly.co.uk/articles/293556/outbound-chine... "The total number of border crossings made by Chinese nationals in 2018 is projected to grow by 6.3% to 154 million, compared with 145 million expected this year."
Why should a company have to delete accounts?
0% of my over 10k users use social login. I do not allow social login because of privacy concerns.
The other thing I don't like about 0-RTT is that the client reveals that they've been to the server before, i.e. it removes a plausible case for anonymity. Just another implicit "cookie" that needs to be washed, I suppose.

I would love if instead the pre-shared secret enabling 0RTT could be something obtained through DNS instead, if that's possible. But that would require a secure DNS, which we don't have.

> And the decentralized video sharing network whose name I can’t remember.

Most decentralized video sharing services I've seen are built on blockchain which this site explicitly denounces in regards to social media. The only federated video sharing alternative I'm aware of is PeerTube: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube
I do not know how this systems work, but I assume is not a complex NN but instead is made from layers, with an expert system and the NN would be used only in some sections like identify the objects in an image.

Even if the NN evolve if it recognizes a bike in image X it should still recognize it after it learns more or is updated with new hardware that supports more neurons.
None (we don't provide that option) but we know that users want this feature and some of the software infrastructure we purchase supports it.
At least some of the Usenet archives are still online in Google Groups and searchable. Can't vouch for completeness of the search index though, it looks pretty wonky for stuff from the early 1990s. Anyway, example working archive link I found via search: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/comp.os.minix/tor...

Don't be too hard on Google's acquisition of Deja. I wasn't working at Google at the time, but heard from many colleagues when I joined that the Deja acquisition was quite chaotic because Deja was just about to shut down entirely when Google picked it up rather than let it disappear. It's a shame they don't do better with the Usenet archive now, but it's clearly not Google's business anymore.
Actually, Mastodon can be set up on your own hardware, with only people you know IRL and be exactly a feed from your friends. You can disable the federation if you want as well.
> Not feeling safe is a valid reason to avoid large physical cash deposits.

It's a reason shared by everyone. It's even true for drug dealers laundering their drug money. If that's a valid reason then who could be charged under this law?

That's the problem with the laws against money laundering. They prohibit things that are perfectly innocuous and done by honest people for legitimate reasons. They give prosecutors something to charge anyone they don't like with, even though thousands of other businesses are doing exactly the same thing without being charged because the prosecutors don't care about them.

It's nothing but an excuse to charge someone with something when you can't prove the thing they're actually supposed to be guilty of.
Apologies, I used the wrong word. I should have said indirection. The David Wheeler quote on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirection "All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection"
Good point in population being a provlem. Should have told this to the ones leaving many countries in poverty, who then had to have double the number of children to ensure their survival.

* Covered IT products

Under the expansion, additional categories will be covered.

Here's a chart of current MFN tariffs imposed by countries under the agreement on expansion categories.

https://www.wto.org/images/img_tratop/brienitachart4_e.png

Note any outliers? Without digging through the legalese, it would seem the US could triple import tariffs on a large swath of IT products and still be on par with what China's charging.

I can't imagine the WTO would look too favorably on a case from China if the US simply pegged reciprocal tariffs at an equal rate.
Planet does not image the ocean in its entirety due to the difficulty in geo-referencing (pre-user imagery processing pipelines use ground control points, usually just shiny objects with a known location, to locate the image on the earth, and this is hard in the ocean), but they do image focal regions for purposes similar to those you mention (vessel identification + tracking). I'd also imagine this choice has something to do with preserving satellite operational lifespan (can turn cameras off when not being used).

This chart shows dental care going up a lot. A lot of dental work is more or less discretionary spending. I'd say this shows people care about how they look (also probably why exercise is increasing), but aren't willing to cut back on unhealthy foods.

Further median income has been increasing in the U.S. If poverty causes obesity to increase, I'd expect that since the U.S. economy is rebounding that obesity would start decreasing.
Great point. Makes you think there may be room for another ad middle man that offers more to consumers because pretty much all adtech right now is built on top of Google, FB, or Apple ad platforms.

99% of "media" reporters are general assignment. That means today they're reporting on rockets. Tomorrow on cats. Nobody can be an expert in everything, which is why there is niche media.

The others from that time period by the military and defense contractors showed something similar. In only one case did I see C++ and Ada tie but why wasnt evident. Note this was before automated proving in SPARK, Design-by-Contract in Ada 2012, and co tract/type/property-based testing tech. The numbers would likely be even higher. Of course, one would want a comparison against tech designed for same things in C which are plentiful now.
Not much of an Oracle fan, but pl/pgsql is heavily derived from pl/sql and I use it on a near daily basis, can’t really complain about it for the purpose it fills.

Yes, some legacy applications do some really nasty things in database procedures - but that doesn’t make the tools themselves bad.
Heritability is a statistical concept, with established estimation methods. It's certainly reasonable to take issue with characterizing address as a phenotypic trait, but the same can be said for "giftedness".

Given that it is impossible to measure heritability directly, various estimation methods are the best that can be done. You can estimate the heritability of any trait, with or without twins. Applying those methods to geographic features will uniformly indicate that they are heritable.
It's not black and white. There has to be some middle ground between "big brother sees all" and "the proceeds of illegal activities and rampant corruption flow freely into the pockets of wrongdoers".

You'll write different bugs in different languages. You can't leak memory in Java (you can, but it's very hard), for instance, as you can in C. In Python, I often write code that barfs when it gets an object of a wrong type because parameter types are simply not enforced. The bugs I write in Lisp are entirely different from the ones I write in C.

We'll always write bugs.
France and Germany pretty much disprove this model.
Thanks for pointing out the autocorrect issue.

I'm going to explain to them there are other ways of meeting human needs, like developing a supportive community among people who all help each other. I'll also minimize the things we use money for, as well as the ways we bring money in. There are already groups online geared toward this goal, such as Buy Nothing groups. This is how capitalism will start to be phased out and how I intend on doing my part.

I'll also teach them to realize sometimes forgetting to proofread is not an indication of being uneducated.
The anarchists, qua bombings, played a potent role in 19th, and early
20th century politics, but not a good one.

Politically, anarchists are really quite different from the
socialist/communist tradition:

- Anarchists: reject the state

- Socialists/communists: reject capitalism

Naturally there could be overlap, and indeed there is a well-known
tradition of anarcho-communism [1] which was especially potent in the
Spanish Revolution of 1936 (note that there were bitter fights between
anarchists and the Stalinists), but at the same time, it's difficult
to reconcile the philo-capitalism of the libertarian wing of anarchism
with the socialist tradition. Likewise, it's difficult to reconcile
the philo-stateism of the socialist tradition with anarchism.

As to "mature": as a first approximation, I'd say, having a written, elaborate and communicable theory behind one's political actions, one that has survived multiple round of (friendly) critique. A mature political position includes reflection on the nature of political power, the shape of politial organisation, and political activism, and clear end goals with reasons why the desired end-goals are likely to come about. A mature political position also contains an understanding of other political positions, including those of one's political adversaries.
An prime example of a mature political position is Marx.
As an example of political immaturity, I'd point to myself when I was 19. I was nothing but an angry, raging young person, who railed against "the system", wanted to "stick it to The Man" and save the world. But I would not have been able to explain why, in way that I would have found plausible.

If I were in charge of company that does what CA does, I'd specifically hire 'IT guys' that I have dirt on that is worse than any of this... Or I'd find dirt on people that my IT guy cares about.

I might be giving CA more credit than they're due in the smarts department, but considering that I'm just a dude making up scenarios, I find this particular one pretty plausible. And assuming the worst seems like a sensible approach in this case.

Points to a general problem (in the US at least) of a complete failure of any sense of on the job training, or internal advancement.

The article that was posted a few days about about literate dev ops covered all of the amazing features, to me.

The part that is hard to really convey is just the fun of it. Being able to run a log dive to grab some data using standard grep/whatever, then to immediately pull it into either R or Python or just Gnuplot to get a visual is quite a nice trick. Top it off with a quick export to pdf/html/markdown to send to someone to confirm it. (Typically a stakeholder.)

Add to this emacs TRAMP capabilities and I just need whatever tool I want on a machine I can ssh to. Don't have a good install of python locally for some reason, just set the :dir attribute of the block to my machine (or docker container. Or a series of jumps through combinations!) that has it, and I'm good.

It does have some growing pains sometimes. I found that the SQL plugin didn't do the passwords as I wanted it to. But, that was a simple breakpoint and hot code fix away. (I, regretably, did not prepare a patch to send upstream...)
rsync is definitely capable of doing what you want. Check out the man page and use '--dry-run' to see how each command would work.

Also, the -P option (at least on the version I have installed) is for enabling both --partial and --progress. --partial keeps partially transferred files in the event something goes wrong, and --progress shows you the progress of the transfer.

You will probably want to use -r for recursing into your directory structure.

In some areas, the US was indeed the driving force for changes that I believe anyone would describe as positive.

One example is the legality of bribing foreign officials: these bribes were outlawed with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in 1977. In my home country of Germany, foreign bribes were not just legal, but actually tax-deductible until the late 1990s.
There were two swarm's, the swarm classic — which was okayy, & then the newer swarm Mode, introduced in docker 1.12. I'm not sure which one you refer to when you say v0.4. But swarm mode was good, extremely simple & worked well for the right workloads. Like most solutions it is not a silver bullet for every orchestration need, but worked very well in microservices, new-ish architectures. K8s is great too, but it seems like an overkill for a handful of services. Also setup of K8s used to be hard, especially HA. The learning curve is also quite steep. One of the features in swarm mode that makes docker swarm extremely intuitive — IPVS, is being incorporated in K8s. So I guess there has been some cross pollination on both sides. But I do not think the swarm mode is going to die anytime soon.

I.e. why does it even have to require input from my side? You don't have to train your peristaltics, why are other muscles different?

I worked at a NASA contractor around 1990. They had these dedicated Rational workstations with an IDE just for Ada, it made it kind of fun. My recollection is it was better than other IDEs at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_R1000
Today it sounds silly because we can get a portable/configurable IDE for every language under the sun on any platform but back then this was amazing. We did have some process that I can't recall right now to port this to DEC/IBM mainframes/minicomputers.
The paradox of the experience of learning is that I feel drained and unintelligent when I'm actually going through the work to understand something new. It's only some time after I start really understanding something that I also feel the mental expansion from the new skills I've acquired. If I wanted to feel knowledgable all the time, I'd be better off not trying to learn new things other than what I acquire incidentally around my already-honed skills. I've experienced this cycle enough times to know that I should keep going even when I feel worn down. I agree that it's a lot like physical exercise -- it brings tremendous benefits, but it's also unpleasant enough in the moment that it's hard to act in your own best long term interests.
