> independent hacker culture

Independent hackers need net neutrality; otherwise access to their innovations and startups will be limited, and their access to the Internet from which they get ideas, inspiration, and collaboration, will also be limited. I wonder how that spirit would survive if people only had access to major commercial websites. EDIT: Imagine the FOSS project with no budget to buy access, and any project that challenges the status quo (political, corporate, etc.) and is given no or minimal access. Where would hacker culture and the world be without those projects?

I agree that it's a loss that we have to turn to government, but it's better than no net neutrality at all. Net neutrality used to be accomplished by cooperation, good faith, and maybe even enlightened self-interest (something U.S. corporations often lack). But the stakes on the Internet are now in the trillions of dollars and (long ago) it has attracted the greedy and power-hungry, who are not going to cooperate and act in good faith. That's why democratic government exists, to give that power to ordinary citizens, distributed fairly via the vote. At least that's the theory in some places:

all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

> begging for the government to control and regulate

That would be, desiring all citizens to control and regulate via their representatives, rather than having a few powerful citizens make the decisions on their own.
Mate, if you’re going to be the pc police here why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and take a risk by offering us an alternative. Oh, what was that? Nothing. You’re a nothing person with no ideas just criticisms and victimisms. Shut up mate.
I guess it's a total wash then, eh?
True! That was just off the top of my head. I suppose you could imagine some kind of really smart dynamic analyzer which looks at the list length before starting the reduce and goes "oh, I'm going to repeat this over 500 times, better JIT it now". In that case the 1000 element case could be faster. But I don't know much about JIT compilers/analyzers and this is just theoretical, so you're likely correct :)
I claim that those who are better at managing their money (spend wisely, save more, invest wisely) tend to accumulate wealth more quickly than those who don't.

For example, I have several colleagues who started their careers around the same time as me. Some are much wealthier than me partly because they spent considerable time and effort accumulating real estate portfolios (among other investments). Others have accumulated less wealth than me because they spent much of their incomes on ephemeral pleasures.
What’s the point of the comparison? Model T manufacture started in 1908 and by the end of 1910 they had produced 12,000. By that comparison, model 3 is crushing it
It’s worse than that. It’s not like segregation ended when Brown v. Board was handed down in 1954. The President had to send the national guard to desegregate the University of Alabama in 1963. Court supervised desegregation continues for decades after Brown. Key desegregation decisions were handed down from the Supreme Court in the late 1960s and in the early 1970s.

Of course there was lots of attempts to end-run around the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that amounted to de jure segregation.

I think a better benchmark is this: public opposition to interracial marriage flipped (from being the majority view to the minority view) between when Yahoo! was founded in 1994 and Google in 1998. Clinton was President, Seinfeld was on the air, and Quake was out.
Ask HN: Can someone tell me how to get eslint working properly?
I have watched numerous videos on youtube and I just can't figure this out. Can you tell me how to delete any linters I have made by improperly setting it up and get it working with the airbnb configuration / with prettier on my mac?
Yeah, PCalc is the best one out there, but still no substitute for a real one.

I can’t bring my phone into work, so still heavily rely on the real ones.

My ultimate one would be some sort of OLED display for each key, so they could be programmed. There still isn’t one yet that has my ideal key layout.
Well we have two choices: 1) government regulation, or 2) ISP regulation. We are on track for #2 thanks to ajit.
Ford literally invented the assembly line. Tesla has a century of expertise to learn from. Tesla has also been producing ~2000/wk S&X's for almost two years now; however they just recently (last week of March) exceeded 2,000 3's in a week, 9 months into production.
I'm curious about how that happened, honestly. Was there a "second-system effect" that settled in after the B-17?
DNS Settings 2018 (TR)
Poor examples - Ford produced only the Model T for two decades. Toyota has been around for 80 years.
It may be the looming post accident battery safety realities that has caused this...it's possible a massive recall or worse is in the works for Tesla given the volatility of damaged batteries catching fire repeatedly after accidents.

Dude the gov can’t even get healthcare right, now reread your MASSIVE essay comment here and find all the problems with a gov managing this many moving parts and people. Nobody will go for this because we all know it will fail, reguardless of how “better planned systems are”
Culture means something specific: Shared beliefs and behaviors within a social group, but hiring managers or entrepreneurs use "culture" to make up something vague about not liking the candidate. When in fact, saying a candidate is not a culture fit, it should mean the candidate "does not share our social group's beliefs and behaviors"
Wasn't Tesla's issue over-automation? Maybe the leave is symbolic of dedication to improving other capabilities - letting the other managers take time to balance things out. I'm sure Field appreciates the break, imposed or not. Startups are hard work and stress causes problems in the rational mind. I've been experiencing that myself, lately...
Just a normal cargo van. I added all the "house" stuff :)
I also used to donate blood, frequently (once a month) but not at the max rate. I stopped when the Red Cross started harassing me at all hours when I was traveling and unable to give blood. This was ~5yrs ago, and the harrassment continues. I've developed quite a database of numbers they call from. I wish there was another organization to donate blood to in the US.
Quantum Job Fair
Yeah, that took me a while to figure out just now. But I still don't see how that's an issue, I'm browsing on ycombinator.com, not ashittyiframesite.com
You're confused. ISPs aren't regulators. They're incapable of regulating anything.
That would be nice too. And locally run software should be able to handle it, so you don't have to hand all your voice mail over to a third party. Even 3 seconds of not silence is probably "It's me. Call me back when you get a sec." which the missed call notice already handles. I don't waste time listening to them any more, but clearing the notice and deleting the message is annoying.
Ah, no. I was saying that, basically, any punishment proscribed for a sin in Talmudic law was specifically to create a -legal- framework, for the time, and has to be viewed that way. From a moral standpoint, the punishment for every sin, in God's eyes, is death, but that that's a punishment that only has meaning in a person's relationship to and/or with God. It has no bearing on how man interacts with man (and in fact would run very much counter to what God says -should- dictate our interactions with one another).

It was basically in response to the above poster saying the Old Testament proscribed stoning for adultery; yes, but that isn't a moral statement that that -should- be, forevermore, the punishment for it, and being a Christian doesn't mean you have to believe adulterers should be stoned. Rather, it was a legal statement for that time, that that was the punishment to be carried out.
We still jail people who are financially unable to pay fines. This happened frequently to the indigent population in my town. They would be ticketed for all sorts of nonsense. The jail got so full that the Sheriff just started releasing people.
It's not really about height, it's about space. 60 sq ft is not much room. Sure you maybe could squeeze something like a desk in there, but then what are you losing? 1/2 your bed, fridge, stove, toilet, etc.? 10 feet by 6 feet is not a lot of room to work with.
I'm mildly surprised that Klout is shutting down if only because they seemed supremely well positioned to be at the forefront of influencer marketing.

While I'm mostly not a fan of the practice, it _is_ a real thing and lots and lots of brands and people online interact extremely inefficiently through the whole thing.
Or, you know, people?
I'm perhaps not understanding the significance of this. Is the issue that if you go to a shitty scam site and start clicking things you might have issues?? I don't see how that's an issue to be solved by a browser.

Leaking your image and email is a huge issue though.
I'm piloting a new platform where we pay you to write code (in a realistic GitHub repo) and talk (video chat) to an independent engineer about your solution.

Strong candidates complete the exercise in 4 hours and are paid $70 an hour.

If the independent engineer likes what they see, we refer you to the final round of interviews at a hand selected group of companies we think are awesome (competitive salaries/benefits, great products/teams).

Email me at interviewingisbroken@gmail.com if you are in SF/NYC and are interested.

Also shoot me an email if you are interested in being the independent engineer who interviews candidates. It's completely mobile, pays up to $150/hr is a great way to make extra cash, learn new things, and meet new people. We're looking for vast array of specialties, but mostly just really really smart people.
There is someone alive today whose grandfather was born during the revolutionary war. The key is that they all fathered kids in their 70’s.
Maybe, but OTOH if you need to know about the micro benchmarking intricacies to use some native methods maybe there is something wrong with the native methods.

The difference with a simple for() are quite significant.
Hackers don’t need anything, that’s the point. Hackers find a way.
I've been eyeing one for a long time. I use an original HP-42S I stole from my father that's older than I am, but I almost spilled coffee on it the other day, which made me realize it's probably time to invest in the SwissMicro just based on the value of the 42.
I have definitely seen a co-worker at my current job use "culture fit" as a way to discriminate.

I personally believe it is a way to discriminate. If you interview someone and you can't give specifics as to why you don't like them other than culture fit, it's something you are scared to say out loud.
That terminology is so much better. I might start floating that around the office.
It's 90% cheaper bids into a frequency stability service. It corrects for drift from 50hz. It doesn't supply power in that sense, it supplies a slightly out of phase AC to refocus the frequency back to where it should be. It does it inside milliseconds of a drift and prevents overreaction by other generators with synchronous power, and can do it more often for less "cost" (synchronous flywheel systems lose most of their power reserve reacting, and have to be recharged over a longer and more costly period. A battery is really ideal for this frequency adjustment service)
Huh. I thought I'd run across a mention of channel-blocking and posted it, I guess not.

Here's my 2015 ask ... in ... emphatic language.

https://plus.google.com/104092656004159577193/posts/JF68A2Tx...
You essentially have it all backwards.

You can not control power with laws. Do this thought experiment with me: Imagine you had a control panel where you could just make anyone do whatever you want. That is what power is, the ability to make other people do what you want. Now, how is a law going to help against your power? It can't. Even if you allowed someone to enact a law that forbade you from killing people (obviously, you could use your total power to prevent that in the first place): If you can in fact stop anyone from trying to enforce this law on you (and in this thought experiment, you obviously can), then the law is completely inconsequential.

Now, it still seems like there are laws that control power, doesn't it? Like, say, the US constitution. But imagine the same thought experiment, with the US consitution in place. The constitution would not in any way prevent you from doing whatever you want, would it?

So, how come that it still seems in the real world that the US constitution controls power? It's because noone has the de-facto power to ignore it, and there are many institutions and the will of the governed that work to keep it that way. That is how the constitution actually works: It works by a consensus of those who have power wanting to keep the power away from their opponents.

You are mixing up nominal power and de-facto power. Laws can describe nominal power structures. But if those who wield de-facto power don't agree, those laws are completely inconsequential. A law is only as good as the will of those with the de-facto power to enforce it.

This is why you can not control a tool that gives de-facto total power with laws: Those who wield it have no reason to care about laws. A law prescribing separation of powers is worthless if one entity has the de-facto power to ignore it. So, the separation of powers is not actually a result of the nominal power prescribed by law so much as it is a result of a system of governance with a huge number of participants each wielding a little bit of power and using that power to keep power away from others--where all those participants may well be inspired by the law to keep it that way, but the point is: If they stopped enforcing this balance of widely dispersed power on each other and allowed too much power to concentrate in one place, the way back can be hard.

Essentially, democracy is one huge exercise in keeping de-facto power from concentrating. Seriously, read the constitution of any free democracy. Read the universal declaration of human rights. The whole point is to put in hard work to counteract the natural tendency of power to concentrate, because of the bad experiences humanity has had with that.
Invest in your people, not crypto
I’m not missing anything. He says specifically that he’s “often wondered” about this specific idea, goes into detail about how, if it were to happen, it should be enacted by the wealthy in secret to prevent any opposition, and proceeds to reveal himself favorable to a whole host of other fundamentally anti-democratic ideas (as well as not really push back against Holiday doing more of the same).

Yes, these kind of people are exactly the kind of people one should be wary of.
They definitely are capable of regulating traffic to/from you, based on its content and source/destination, and charging you differently based on how much regulation you want to endure.
The South Australian government at the time did an incredible thing. They gave the national government the middle finger, in a live-televised conference no less: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-16/josh-frydenberg-jay-we...

Thinking that these Facebook ads influenced the election in any meaningful way is dumb, let alone swaying it in a desired direction.
Games are not a very common use case of JavaScript.

Even in the world of game dev, JavaScript is not common at all.
I just started lambdaschool and so far it's been good. No upfront cost and until you get a job.
Had to stop reading due to spoilers. Currently on Children of Dune. Alternating between that series and Asimov.
#Hodl
Yes. One which is increasingly absent from western electoral democratic process. Oppositional politics is currently the preferred model even though it wedges capital investment in infrastructure. Are you bringing anything to this conversation or just trying to win an argument here?
In the 40 years that Apple has been in business, it's never gone after the low end market. The Apple // series was always more expensive than its contemporaries, as was the Mac and now the iPhone. There was a brief time that Apple had the lowest cost media players but that was because they cornered the market on the hard drives that they were using and then the flash market.

But why would they? They already capture 80%+ of the profit in the global cell phone market.
Mount Merapi Eruption, INDONESIA [may 11]
True, but if you need to handle large data sets in the server Node is definitely the wrong choice.
Sure. Can I ask the how many more kids they plan on having? Can I ask you the same question? Can I ask why that number is less than 16?
Preventing Cheating and Solving the Human Trust Problem
Some consumers. I don't believe a majority, but enough that as a win-at-any-cost strategy it works. The majority actually loses in this situation. This is destroy the opposition not grow the market.
I would tend to agree with this sentiment.
Is it just me or does Q3 2017 have the same ad 5 out of 8 times?

Also is it just me or does the domain "documentingreality.com" sound like it's probably going to document something else.
Wow, that's cool. I sincerely wish you the best of luck. I've long thought that a distributed, decentralized Internet (more the backbone and last mile replacement) could be a powerful and game changing thing.
It was rumored that when the PS3 was hacked that they got the PSP keys from the built in emulator.
There's a similar experience I've seen with YouTube. The first hundred subscribers(assuming you don't ask friends and family to subscribe) is always the hardest, and even if you're putting out higher quality content than the big channels, it's difficult to break that barrier. Once you cross that barrier, getting from 100->1000 usually takes half the time, and it becomes successively easier to get more views and subscribers with less effort. Once you're in the hundred thousands you can earn a decent side-income from just putting out a video a day, and once you're in the millions you can be set for life with little effort assuming you don't have high production costs.

It is a snowballing effect, but most people never cross the initial tough barriers(after 10k, it becomes relatively easy to keep growing). In order to cross it, it either involves luck, or you have to know someone more popular than you who can boost your channel.
I would say it's safe to assume that the law would protect data that stays on your phone, but would not protect communication. So you could encrypt the contents of your phone but phone calls, SMS, and IM would still be possible to back door.
And the ironic part of that is that the original HP was spun-off two times (at first Agilent, then Keysight).
> Experience is forced upon you, it is neither an assumption or something discovered through reason.

Why? That claim must be justified by reference to other truths, or taken itself as an assumption. So doesn't the trilemma still apply, but at one more remove?

Note that 'assumption' does not necessarily mean an arbitrary statement, but includes statements that we consider self-evident, e.g. 'something exists'.
My ISP is capable of determining the services it offers to me, its customer. Your ISP is capable of determining the services it offers to you, its customer. No ISP is capable of mandating behavior from third parties who haven't chosen to engage in an economic exchange with it, meaning that no ISP is capable of regulation.
Greetings, fellow 32Sii lover. I also have enough spares to outlast me, and it's a good feeling. That said, perhaps I'm being overcautious as my first 32Sii (bought in the early 1990s) is still in great shape.
Their Q1 earning report revealed they lost money on the grid service.
I suppose lottery winners are good at accumulating wealth too.
It uses a pack of rechargable AAs, I have an HP-45 (the immediate successor, with the same battery pack) and replaced the original NiCD cells with NiMH. When I got it the batteries were clearly already a few decades old. AAs NiCDs were pretty common back then, I have an old TI and Soviet-made Electronika calculator that also use them.
Mostly the Coalition. Seriously.

It’s clear from the AEMO market makeup etc. that almost all the cost increase was attributable to the cost of gas (due to Santos having contracts to export more gas than they had supply for to Japan etc., while the international gas price has fallen. So they are sucking up gas on the domestic market pushing up domestic prices and their liquefication operation is unprofitable anyway). But the Coalition instead chose to use the cost of electricity as a political tool in a bizarre anti-renewables push.

Economists have suggested that a large enough gas reservation policy (like WA has) would rectify that. The LNP could legislate it in a few weeks at worst. This would also benefit industrial gas users that have been struggling with big increases.

A more minor part (like what this battery is helping to stop) is the privatised generators gaming the market by constraining supply artificially to push up prices at certain high-demand times. Some of this also naturally happens with some of the older coal stations tripping out and falling off for a few hours (I think Liddel is only achieving something like 46% capacity on average or something?).
Yeah, but an easy way to say no thanks while giving a reason that can't be argued with is the perfect instrument with which to discriminate. I suspect that lawyers on both sides are noticing this, and that the term is on its way out.
Mostly residential customers. WISPs are mostly deploying in CBRS band (3.6Ghz) which is available for this explicitly. Check out Bai Cells for an example of the equipment being deployed: https://baicells.com
Privately owned doesn't mean it's not publicly accessible. If they want selective entry, they need to put a bouncer at the door, not expect me to close my eyes, let them jam ad blasting headphones in my ears, while they riffle through my pockets for any personal information they might find valuable just for the privilege of viewing what is, more often than not, just another thinly disguised ad.
