Arguments like this are not as 'factual' as they feel to the people arguing, but are driven by conflicting preferences and emotions. If I like X strongly enough and you despise X strongly enough, then every time we meet we're going to tangle about X. Such arguments are repetitive, tedious to everyone else, and devolve into incivility. The impulse to do this needs to be resisted. So the answer to your question "how to handle someone that does this" is that you don't have to "handle" them, and we need you to let it go because your attempts to "handle" them are damaging the site.

Occasionally it happens that a user fees so strongly about a company that they have to comment about it every which way. For or against, this is a problem: it's repetitive and provokes worse. As I've tried to explain to you elsewhere, you've crossed the line with this Google stuff where you're not having a curiosity-driven conversation, but rather prosecuting an agenda and inundating the threads. Other users have been complaining about your comments for some time now. Lest you think we're favoring one side, I've said similar things to ocdtrekkie.

In the past, we've had to ban people who couldn't or wouldn't stop doing this. If you want to participate on HN, please remember the site's purpose: the gratification of intellectual curiosity. That's not an emotion that gets fixed on any single thing, and it flourishes with variety, not repetition.

Ask HN: Multi-video Lessons/Tutorials/Courses on YouTube
I use youtube to watch tutorials on subjects I am interested in. Some tutorials contain multiple videos and I need to watch them in the right sequence. However many times its hard to find the right sequence of videos (lesson 1, lesson 2, lesson 3). I need to search for titles that contain the sequence number ("Data science for beginners - 1", "Data science for beginners - 2") to find all the parts. Does anyone else face this problem? How is this being solved today? What are the alternatives?

Yes, I know what moral agency means, I was being facetious, sorry about that. The implied meaning was a jab at a rather common interpretation of the 'modern science' paradigm, which advocates determinism and downplays free will (and hence moral agency). It is one of many stupefying factors of our time.

I always laugh that the (modern, correct) word for Germany in Polish is "Niemiec" which basically means "people who don't talk."

Like some Polish guys ran into some Germans, and the Germans just started speaking some gibberish non-slavic language. Polish guys were like "I really doubt this is a language. They must not be able to talk at all."

But those things are "behavioral recipies that the SELF must enforce on his body". My body doesn't do breathing exercises on its own, and it wants to look at the phone screen before sleep.

I find it weird that the reason Bompietro was considered a good man by the people was because he had asked for the body of Christ. Almost like a simple appeal to religion, without actual adherence to it's moral teachings, is enough to appease the masses. ಠ_ಠ
I've been getting into serverless computing for a few months now, and it's been a pretty good experience, and generally hassle free.

The only downside I saw was learning a bit of cloud formation to automatize the stack creation. But I guess if you want a quick prototype/deploy you might as well do it manually and learn it later.

I really recommend you to take a look at AWS's serverless products: https://aws.amazon.com/serverless/

Good point, but that would still be welcomed, though I'd probably prefer it be a diffeent product (ala the opposite of react-native).

Flutter has shown that it's possible to build a truly native implementation from "web" tooling. I've shipped apps with Ionic and such before (but not React-Native yet), but despite how much care goes into the application, they've still never felt native, and Flutter bridges that gap perfectly.

If it somehow managed to also be able to deploy the same code to the web, perhaps using a different (or providable) CSS grid, I think it's as close to a holy grail as we'll manage.
This is putting constraints on your body though. How the hell can you leave Facebook on the other side of bedroom door? Why would you force your body to exercise? Taking melatonin may have unforeseen circumstances though. Just like eating too much sugar.
Surely it's not constitutional for a government to hide its vendors. National security can't be an excuse for state-level secret procurement.
Is this true though? I mean Google famously didn’t give a shit about hiring Max Howell (creator of homebrew) because of hazing-style pointless whiteboard trivia [0].

Creating a package manager, which is mostly "gluing things together without understanding how they work", is a very different skillset than being able to work from first principles. I suspect Google was looking more for the latter.

Speaking as someone who has written pieces of compilers, emulators, assemblers, and related software in my spare time, I can say that even mentioning those things casually is enough to get some "you did what?" looks.

I'm sure they could, or at least approximate it to a close degree.

But even if you determine the proper amount of force and launch angle for a given position, that doesn't mean you'll be able to actually execute. Also, of course, basketball isn't played in a vacuum. No defender is going to let you sit there and calculate the proper trajectory or let you shoot the ball unimpeded.

A much better example would be pool - and in fact, pool is often used as a teaching method for basic geometry (angles/reflections/etc) and physics (elastic collisions).
AppleScript is an incredible tool that has many warts, perhaps the largest being how idiosyncratic its implementations are from application to application (each app defines its own AppleScript dictionary which is, essentially, a framework library).

There are also many idiosyncrasies due to how scripts are run by the AppleScript component manager and state may or may not be maintained between execution depending on whether the script has been compiled on the local machine, is run inside AppleScript Editor, is run in a particular version of AppleScript Editor, which version of AppleScript is on the local machine, etc. etc. [0]

Apple's official documentation is helpful, but the real documentation for AppleScript developers (I feel AS is feature complete enough that its practitioners can be regarded as developers) is Matt Neuburg's AppleScript: The Definitive Guide (from which the earlier citation comes). [1]

If you've puzzled over how to get something working properly in AppleScript and have been amazed at how indispensable AppleScript can be to generate a custom workflow using macOS applications, the command line, and your favorite programming language behind the scenes (Perl, JavaScript, Objective-C, etc.), you really cannot do yourself a bigger favor than getting a hold of Neuburg's book.

Because very precisely throwing a ball using the human muskulo-skeletal system is an extraordinarily difficult and complicated problem, not easily amenable to symbolic analysis.

Even stating the problem precisely (on paper) requires PhD-level physics/math, there are dozens of moving parts involved, the timing of various actions must be perfectly choreographed, and the system is constantly changing.
Approval voting is worse than even IRV because of inconsistent meaning of ballot markings, an effect which the naive mathematical analyses which support the claims of it's superiority ignore.

This problem is negated when the is a consistent meaning to approval or disapproval markings, which can happen with non-secret ballots tied to concrete commitments. Approval is, for that reason, an excellent voting method to decide group activities in a social group, where an approve vote is a binding opt-in to the activity if it is chosen (or if a disapprove vote is a binding opt-out.)

For the same reason (the lack of a concrete definition of what “approve” or “disapprove” means), approval is not really simpler than IRV (or other ranked ballots) methods, even if the space of possible ballot markings is narrower.

Parachuting for charity: is it worth the money?
The truth is that in "gig" based economies guilds and unions are essential(portability of seniority, benefits, etc). If done right it benefits both the employer and the low and high end of workers.

What's the cargo cult wrt Plato and Aristotle? I remember the idea from Feynman's book, but I'm not sure how it relates to Plato v. Aristotle.
Moral agency entails more than understanding (predicting outcomes is also not sufficient for moral understanding). It also requires that the agent is capable of acting voluntarily.

Whether an agent has rights also depends on his (in principle) capacity for moral responsibility.

Furthermore, much of what is presented as modern science challenging "classical" views of free will, language and the like is dubious on closer inspection. Libet is a great example.
"Labor organizations survive on the employees that pay them, they are the formality of wage theft."

No, absolutely not. There is nothing in that statement that is true.

"These things happen and people have to leave and find a new place, staying and litigating is not going to make any difference"

That is the most wishy washy way to wave away theft that I've ever heard. It basically sounds like you're saying, "It's going to happen, so just accept it, and don't try to change it."

"and a union cannot spring money out of nowhere, they ould have the exact same issues."

Except the companies doing this are benefitting from it, at the expense of their employees.

BMW launches wireless plug-in hybrid charging
> only one car

The "only one car problem" is pretty big. It is generally not kept in good repair (preventative costs go out the windows when you are poor) and the loss of transportation is often a job ending event. I used this to help put together a rural health grant (Dr & Mobile Unit comes to you). It was interesting. Obviously, the places where it hits hardest don't have public transportation.

I would be interested what federal grant they received that allowed them to reimburse baby-sitting. This is one of the most difficult areas to fund. Even with Head Start and Early Head Start, it is often a chore to get enough slots for college students.

One thing they don't seem to have a problem with that other schools do is attracting teachers. The accreditation committees have raised the requirements for college teachers and this cuts down the pool and also increases costs where they could go to other programs.
The combined effect of benefits cutoff is a huge problem. Think of the nationwide productivity loss due to people avoiding employment that would cause loss of benefits.

It's called the "welfare cliff". Check out the shocking graph in this article and/or testimony. (same graph)

http://www.learnliberty.org/blog/the-welfare-cliff-and-why-m...

http://waysandmeans.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Eri...

Assuming a 40-hour week (which could be 2 jobs) the worker will want to get $12 per hour. That is the local maxima. To get a better final result, after all the welfare and tax considerations, they'd have to earn $38 per hour.

So if you have a job paying $12 per hour, and are offered one paying $37 per hour, you'll lose money if you take it. Basically, welfare keeps people down. It keeps them in low-paying jobs because people get punished when they aspire for better.
I agree! All the more reason not to compare these in the article title.

I was able to find one reference to this spider in the context of mosquito elimination:

Regarding ecological issues surrounding the release of sterile TMs, of particular importance is that a reduction in the number of Anopheles is unlikely to have a negative impact on local food chains. According to (Pennetier et al. 2010) there are no birds, fish or other insects that feed exclusively on Anopheles mosquitoes, the only known exception being Evarcha culicivora, an East African jumping spider that feeds indirectly on vertebrate blood by selecting blood-carrying female mosquitoes as preferred prey.

> We’re going to implement method iniling in JIT compiler, which is expected to increase Ruby’s performance in order of magnitude

An order of magnitude as in .. 10x? This seems too good to be true. Half the arguments against Rails melt away like butter if that's truly the case.

Anyone with a better understanding of the details care to comment on the likelihood of these performance gains being actually realised, and if not, what we might realistically expect?
Now we are also starting to see national networks passing all their traffic through drivers written in Lua. Couple of talks about this at RIPE recently e.g. https://ripe76.ripe.net/presentations/105-lw4o6-ripe.pdf
"Arbitration clauses which the Supremes upheld favor those who cannot afford a lawyer because it guarantees their grievance must be acknowledged and addressed. Now while an outcome favorable to the employee is not always guaranteed nor is one for the employer."

In reality, it's almost guaranteed to be favorable to the employer, because they're the ones paying for the arbiter.

"Class Action with regards to wage suits is very rare and this was mainly a push by plaintiff attorneys who stood to rake in millions while offering no guarantee of providing a substantive reward for the plaintive."

Other than a change of behavior of the company, which would stop this from happening. Although you've not mentioned what you base your position on.

"In the end as stated by some the reasoning, the two laws are written as such that binding agreements are truly that, binding. If that needs to change then Congress needs to act."

That's already law. But what's happening is that employers are abusing their power over the employees, and basically saying, "I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it further." And most employees do not have the resources or knowledge to be able to enforce the original agreement.
Do you know how Socrates died? He was put to death for asking hypothetical religious/political/philosophical questions of his students leading to charges of corruption and impiety. On the other hand, true to his philosophy to the end, he had every possibility to escape the city after being convicted and sentenced to death. He instead accepted the judgement of the law and ended his own life with a drink of hemlock.

And it's easy to look back at that and imagine how much we have progressed, yet at the same time we still have as much a fear of words as ever. And I imagine there's hardly a person that would respect our system of law so much as to be voluntarily willing to sacrifice their lives as a matter of principle in obedience to such, even when he certainly felt he was being grievously wronged.

I'm no music expert, but that (specifically your statement about dancing being premier) doesn't jive with what little bits I know. Granted you could narrowly define bits and pieces of what you said to constrain the set of artists you're talking about, but insofar as you mention free jazz of the 1930s as an early example of producing "art for art's sake", there are certainly earlier comparable examples, the "futurists" of the 1920s and earlier being one (Varese, who was conducting as early as the 1910's) and whose art was _VERY MUCH_ an artistic display intended to push forward electronic sounds.

I'm sure someone with a background in musical history can cite many examples even further back, my point being, I think there's been a constant gradient of music For Dance vs. music For Art, I don't think it's fair to say that one or the other is in any way particularly novel. (Victorian era music, for example, was a wide spread including everything from operatic virtuosos, to public house performances for dancing)

To your other point however, I certainly agree that music as a product is not new, that concept dates back long past even the eras of our classical masters.
Yes, although a sales role is quite easy to measure objectively.

Why should platforms not be held liable for copyright infringement? Most of them are directly benefiting from distributing pirated content (page views), which means they have a selfish interest not to act forcefully against copyright infringement. For instance, Youtube would likely not have been the success that it was without pirated content.

Edit: It's okay to disagree with my comment. But why not share your view with us instead of just downvoting me?
