There's a difference between being unable to read ancient texts and being unable to read anything published before 2018. Most materials will never get the lavish treatment given to universally-recognized classics like Beowulf and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
This is that "utopian, almost religious praise of the technology" that's being talked about. What is actually disruptive about blockchain?

It's funny, all these technologies you listed are all ones that are hyped for hyped sake before having an actual use case. What actual, useful purpose does Blockchain provide? Like really. Apart from "a computationally burdensome way to hate the government."[1] Because all I ever see things like "blockchain-backed sex contracts" or "mangocoin - how IBM helped Walmart and farmers". I thought the most promising use case was when the Australian securities regulator announced they were going to put all the shares in the blockchain, but then I just realised that there's no actual concrete benefit from it - nothing they're doing can't be achieved by a simple, centralised database.

Are there many recent examples of France asserting that since a region has a fairly decent density of French speaking people and people of French descent it's totally ok to annex the territory or in a milder case move in troops and create a self proclaimed "independent" state.
As someone who leans quite strongly libertarian, I do not understand what seems to be the default libertarian position on roads.

The default view seems to be that government-funded highways are essentially a god-given right. If I want to travel 30 miles every day from home to work, well, somebody had better build me a 8-lane highway to get me there with a minimum of congestion. (Sure, maybe sometimes we'll implement congestion pricing that will cover a miniscules portion of the cost of building and maintaining the highway. This is still a massive government subsidy for people who drive.)

Bike lanes, on the other hand? Public transit? Those get the more typical libertarian viewpoint on government spending. How dare the government try to distort our incentives by spending millions of dollars to provide bike infrastructure?! (Fun fact: As of 2008, the replacement cost for all of Portland's bike infrastructure was estimated at $60M, the rough cost of one mile of urban freeway. I'm sure it's gone up by then--it's still a rounding error.)

It's genuinely weird how libertarians--generally not ones to ignore the effects of government spending on incentives--don't appear to notice that spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a transportation system that you can only use if you're in a car might actually, you know, cause more people to drive.
This would be absolutely perfect for the job I had in Sales Intelligence a few years ago... except we were locked into SQL Server and there was no way the powers that be would ever let us switch over to PostgreSQL.
This should be emphasized. Back in 2009-2011 I lived in Brooklyn and me and my friends would bike up to Greenpoint, and I would have a great lunch for $10. People should especially go the restaurants where the people mostly speak Polish, and English is a second language for them.
I went to Chimkent/Shymkent and Almaty (the old capital - Astana is a new, planned city) as a tourist. I didn't see much in the Latin alphabet.
If acpivideoout and thinkpad both attach then whichever attaches second will win - you're right that i915 special cases this. The author of the article describes doing an ioctl() on the console, which is a different codepath to any brightness properties attached to the connector, so if the OpenBSD DRM implementation is exposing the latter on chipsets other than i915 then you're still going to have two different codepaths to get broader coverage (and it's still broken on Apples)

I'm not interested in defending Linux in general, I'm just pushing back against the idea that a low complexity implementation is inherently preferable to a more complex one. All else being equal that's true, but if the additional complexity is associated with additional useful functionality then it's really up to the person making that claim to demonstrate that a less complex implementation could provide the same functionality or to make it clear that they're ok with not satisfying the use cases that require that functionality.
I love how this is dated May 2018. Are we rounding months now?
'Cause you gotta be trendy, like referring to cities by their airport code.
Ecoboost is Ford's name for using smaller displacement turbo engines to replace larger naturally aspirated ones. My experience with these types of cars is that with typical real drivers they do not deliver anywhere near the EPA fuel economy numbers, because they're essentially designed to make the turbo never spool up in the EPA tests. You can get the EPA numbers if you drive very slowly though.
I've only had problems when I eat food and use my laptop. Some crumbs get under a key and then prevents it from traveling. Usually i get some canned air and try to blow it out. I could see it being a bigger problem for other in places that are extra dusty

Why does upgrading Debian need to replace my other software? If I have... Gimp installed, and I upgrade Windows from 7 to 10, I'd be understandably annoyed if Microsoft took the opportunity to replace Gimp with Adobe Photoshop. (And I'd be confused too, since neither Gimp nor Photoshop are Microsoft's. Yet here Debian has replaced software they don't own with other software they don't own, all without my permission.)

mysql-server doesn't belong to MariaDB, they can't "own" it. Doesn't Oracle hold a trademark on it?

> Nothing of the things you describe will be prevented by daily status meetings and sitting in one big noisy room.

That does depend entirely on the kind of work you're doing. In film & games, daily is truly necessary. In pure software at LargeCorp, yeah daily status is too much, but it's common to need recurring periods of daily planning. In high flux environments like a small startup, I don't know how to avoid the constant stream of interruption & planning.

Your suggestion of what's wrong feels different than what I imagine as healthy, so I get the feeling we're talking past each other. I don't want constant meetings at all, and I don't love open offices either. But I do want devs to not go off the rails, which even the "adult" professional ones tend to in my experience. As a manager, you've never had devs who would rather work on something other than what the team is supposed to be producing, and rationalize it convincingly and with professionalism?

What is the right frequency of communication at your job? As a manager, you're responsible for team estimates and team progress reports to your manager, no? You are also responsible, I presume, for technical leadership, information sharing, establishing best practices, assisting devs who need help, etc.? Do people on your team ever get stuck and spin their wheels? How often do you track & report your team's progress? Are you putting most of those activities in a different category than meetings? Are you scheduling updates on a Maker's schedule?
'simple' has multiple definitions. One is used as a pejorative, another as a compliment.
I took mine in and the Apple Genius just tried to clean it to no avail. So, I have a broken "b" key and need to send it in to get it fixed. The "guy who could take the keycaps off wasn't there" despite the pre-questions Apple asks before the appointment scheduling.

I'm going to wait a bit. I was one of the people who took their iPhone 6 in and paid full price for the battery (3 times because 3 of the 4 phones we bought had the same problem). I plug it into thunderbolt 3 docks at home and work, so I guess I can hold out until Apple admits it sucks and has an actual fix. I'm under AppleCare but I just don't see the gain in sending it in to get replaced by another keyboard that will break again.
The impulse to expose your genitals to a teenage girl is pretty mind-bogglingly disgusting. And it didn't just happen once. It happened TWICE. This man has 5 kids. How on earth would he feel if some grown man did that to one of his own children?
just laid my 2013 MBP to rest after full 12 oz water spill onto keyboard. Have no doubt it would have lasted much longer were it not for my fumble.

Have a new MBP with old-stool keyboard (yes I have and esc key), and it feels good so far, but oh boy will I be pissed if it shits the bed.

these things are too expensive to fail that easily. "design" is one thing but, fragiltiy not ok.
That is the claim anyway.

Exactly, people change over time and adapt their behaviour to new circumstances. Temporally, one can be a very different person.

Besides, any one of us could commit awful acts given the wrong environment. Stanley Milgram showed us all that much.

But they are safer for the occupants, which are the people buying the cars. I think the focus for a lot of AI like safety systems should be for the bigger vehicles, which can be harder to control in a number of situations.
> It's a real shame that the station wagon died out.

It didn't, it just got a slight cosmetic adjustment and rename in some lineups. Car-frame “crossovers” are essentially station wagons.
> What is going to happen to advertising budgets (practically their only source of revenue) in the next recession

There's a general theory that advertising is a zero-sum game. In other words, as a percent of GDP it has neither grown or subtracted significantly since it's wide spread use. This effectively means that new media (FB/Google/etc) is simply taking market share away from other disparate providers. If anything, a recession will only accelerate that trend. When companies are faced with re-thinking their ad spend and realize that their eyeballs are no longer in print/radio, it serves as an easy to stomach switching cost decision.

I don't have much opinion on literature but I am deeply opinionated on classical music. I wonder if there's a similar list by a composer or music critic about other composers of his/her time. That'd be an interesting read!
so if you can’t fix the problem then you shouldn’t even try to make it better? should we roll back internet banking, eftpos, etc?
The license would ALLOW you to redistribute. The default is that you are not.
I don't know what it is about league, but it seems to attract the absolute worst of people. Most of the gaming communities I am a part of are very welcoming and friendly. I went to a tournament for league once and the team that beat us came over to gloat and remind us of every mistake immediately afterwards. They only stopped once my wife started actually crying from the verbal abuse.

Needless to say, I cut my losses with that community.
Saving an Afghan symbol, with Afghans only
From the article: The owner sued, with backing from the Pacific Legal Foundation, a libertarian advocacy group supported by the Koch brothers. Jim Burling, the foundation’s vice president, says there was a fundamental flaw in the town’s argument: Only the state, not local officials, has the authority to declare that the high-tide line has moved — and where the line’s new position might be.

The libertarians say you need the government - in fact only a certain governmental department will do - to declare where the high-tide line might be?! Peoples' eyes might not be enough? That's hilarious! Libertarians are all about freedom, individual sovereignty and decentralization but for where the beach ends in Nags Head you need to go up to the government offices in Raleigh, NC.

I understand that when two adults disagree that they go the referee - the court - together, but how can two adults disagree over the fact where the waterline is?
I've read comments here bemoaning that Turkish people can't read their grandparents' books. But for academic historians the bigger problem is whether the new constitution makes accurate history illegal.

I'm on this model and have now had to replace four keys from the QWERTY row (E, R, T, and O).

The issue is that the pinchers at the top of the key no longer hold after a while, so the keys fall off. I do like having four E keys, though. (Rather than try to guess which key would fail next I just bought a bunch of E keys).

When I took it to an Apple store they told me they couldn't just replace the keys and wanted to do a whole top case, leaving me without my computer for a week. I think they guessed (correctly) that if you have one key come up that the rest will follow. My "I" key is feeling loose and will probably go in the next week or two.
Why does Facebook spend money on employees then?
I remember reading some years ago about a village in the UK that wanted to be removed from satnav maps.

At that time, most of the people who used them were truck drivers, and the 12th-century village's main road was about 3 inches too narrow to allow a truck through.

A wedged truck on main street a week for 8 months, and people got pretty cranky about it.

I'm not sure what ever happened, though.
Can confirm, this is the most fun entry-level car on the market. Sad to see it go - I was actually hoping for a fiesta RS some day
I had the issue with the doubling with the b key as well.

Mine was out of warranty, so I fixed it myself.

Failed: compressed air
Failed: cleaning under the key.

Success (but not recommended)
I removed the key, then pulled off the glued membrane. Cleaned all with 90% alcohol. Took a new membrane (but you might be able to use old) and used E6000 and a toothpick to glue it back. Replaced butterfly and key.

Not a good solution, but it worked.

It looked like the contacts were getting coated and not making good contact? Perhaps heat?

Best of luck.
All of those are considered somewhat "upmarket" cars in the US. They're not marques that the everyman is buying.
If you can figure out the details on that, they'd probably be interested.

SZ didn't seem to have any foreigners when I was there. The expat community of BJ is pretty crazy for having spent a year there.
The decline may have a long tail.

I was also blown away at their low effective tax rate.
Sorry, this one is kind of a dupe of my other post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16922476 - it disappeared off the front page so quickly that I thought I’d see if a Daring Fireball link fared better.

#DeleteFacebook is not a thing. Anyone who thinks it was going to affect Facebook doesn’t understand the fundamentals behind Facebook. It’s just some meaningless outrage porn for people to hang a hashtag off of and maybe increase their social currency.

You are moving the goal posts here. He didn't do it to one of his own children. Obviously, that would be an incestuous act, which is far, far worse than flashing a stranger who is nearly an adult and potentially could be mistaken for an adult.

When I was 17, I was 5'9" tall and people absolutely mistook me for an adult at times. For that matter, at age 14, I was 5'7" and, while at the mall babysitting a 7 year old, was once asked if I wanted to sign up for a department store credit card.

I haven't seen the particulars of his crime. I don't even know if he knew her age before exposing himself or if he only learned of that in the course of the trial.
I think it is a common misconception that formal methods will lead to an extremely slow development cycle. That is only the case if you go for the best guarantee of correctness: Theorem Proving.

There are more agile options. For example, model checking all protocols is pretty easy in comparison to theorem proving. Still a significant effort, but perhaps an order of magnitude easier.

Certain advertising only exists in the US, specifically Pharma DTC ads.

There is HAX in Shenzhen, but it's focused on pre-crowdfunded consumer hardware projects.

Now I am not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination but I do not have a moral obligation to force anyone rich or poor to provide essential healthcare. I could morally encourage people to donate time and money to hospitals as a charity but to force them as part of a government mandate to me is morally wrong.

Good. It's a shame that we weren't able to do the same with cars before they ruined North American cities.

Bon vivant trivia, tribal sneers, celeb gossip & huffy etiquette advice seems to be about all the wealthy inner city is interested in these days. Shame the infection has spread here.
I see a lot of this as-well, and it goes with the atmosphere of our industry. Remember "cloud" was a solution looking for a problem also: server colocation had been around for 30 years prior...

We are in the adoption chasm of blockchain architecture right now; if we make it to the other side we'll have a new wave of innovation in the distributed software space.
The political spectrum is more like a political plane, with one axis being economic and the other being social, and with a 2 party system we've conveniently collapsed it into a line.

It's amazing how many people managed to skim through the post, and hammer on their own preconceptions and facile counter-arguments, for things that are all addressed in the argument.

And that's for a very well written post, that tries to address all common issues.

And yet, people manage to get it wrong, or write facile responses like "re-implementing the fork/join".

Not to mention missing the whole nuance of what the author is talking about, which is not about novelty of a feature, but about what it allows us (and even more so, what it constraints us).

It's like as if people being shown for loops and structured programming in the 60s responded with "this proposal just reinvents gotos". Or worse, that "this is more restrictive that gotos".

Yes, the author knows about the Erlang's model. He writes about it in the post, and about how you can use his proposal to do something similar.

Yes, the author knows about Rust's model. In fact Graydon Hoare, the creator of Rust (now working at Apple on Swift), has read the post's initial draft and gave his comments to the author.
Yep. And not having many affordable models as well. When the economy inevitably “corrects” they will be saying “Oh crap who could have seen this coming!” Again.
Forming a national identity is still pretty important for Kazakhstan, which lives in the shadow of Russia. That Nazarbayev apparently deferred to the popular will on this issue is promising if the nation is to outlast him.
It might be a way to shed the yoke around their neck of Russian Imperialism. After all Putin did threaten them in a round about manner only a couple of years ago. I would like to see Ukraine also adopt this strategy. It is an effective method to distance oneself from Russia.
I think that's already the reality today. Many comments here on HN talk about how hard it's to find any decent paying gigs on sites like Upwork due to global competition.
Well not quite. The test net is actually a hybrid of proof of work and proof of stake [1]. Proof of work is used as the main decider in the case of a fork, however if long forks are seen then checkpoints validated by proof of stake are used.

The slashing function is in the contract [2] but there is actually no incentive to duplicate votes on the testnet since there is only rewards for voting (block rewards are given to proof of work miners).
