Yes, and No.

No in the sense that phospholipids and proteins and hydrocarbons in general are delicious to bleach. Exactly like asking if there are bacteria that can survive being incinerated in a fire, at a chemical level the molecules in their cell walls get broken up. There is no simple hack a unicellular organism can apply to survive strong enough bleach or fire, at a very low chemical level its being destroyed. Would silicon based life tolerate bleach? I'd have to think about that a bit.

Yes in the sense that if you play games with very low concentrations you will slowly preferentially breed stronger cells, much as you could breed fire resistant wood, but all wood vaporizes in a strong incinerator. Obviously Homeopathy is not a thing scientifically, a small amount of bleach dumped in a pond won't kill everything in the pond but it will kill the weakest whatever in the lake, leading to increased breeding of stuff resistant to extremely low bleach concentrations. However even in theory I don't think anything could live in a bottle of normal strength bleach.

There are also categorical issues, a very thick layer of algae when splashed with bleach will have the outer layer die and eventually melt off, but the layer underneath will simply regrow. Does that mean algae is resistant in the overall system sense even though it dies really easily? People are usually only interested in systemic success, so sure, its very easy for bacteria to survive bleach based cleaning. A nice thin layer of bulk grease or oil that lasts long enough to protect at least some bacteria underneath that isn't completely removed during the cleaning, there you go, bacteria that survived bleach cleaning, although no bacteria individually can survive full strength bleach, a sufficiently thick layer of grease protecting some bacteria can survive a sufficiently short enough bleach cleaning process.
Yes, but accepting a foreign currency as your defacto currency is IMO insane. US sets monetary policy for the US and the US only. So if US raises interest rates to combat inflation that is occurring in the US. Georgia by default accepts this position regardless of what is actually happening in Georgia. If Georgia has deflation occurring, then this is bad for Georgia.

If you want to be a "Big Boy" country, you have to have your own monetary policy and currency. The problem is, managing your monetary policy and currency is really difficult. Countries that experience hyper-inflation are usually ones where monetary policy isn't done right. The other side of it is, when you do have the right monetary policy and currency controls, it allows to survive and possibly thrive in the financial world.
Yeah the guy in a 1982 Volvo spewing black smoke and rusting to pieces is obviously more financially savvy and responsible than someone driving a BMW.

A while ago there was a big thread -- and they put up a note asking folks to log out if they were just reading.

It seems like logged in users cause extra load while HN calculates scores and points. IF you're not logged in, HN can serve up cached results much faster.

That 1k+ thread re: MS/GitHub must be taxing the system.

(Not a HN insider, just mentioning what I rememberd from last time)
I generally agree with you. But just so you know, in this case if you enable a few scripts, a download button appears and you can read the file in libreoffice or whatever you use.

There is a spectrum of goods and services suppliers, from luxury to essential. These gentlemen wanted a wedding cake. It's not essential and they may have had time to find an alternative supplier that, as you say, wasn't a jerk.

What happens when it's the pharmacy or grocery store? Or their kid's hockey coach or piano teacher? Or the only car mechanic in town?

I generally believe in a business' right to refuse service but I wrestle with situations like this.

Sounds awfully like the content of the cake was what the bakers in question objected to, now necessarily the people requesting it.
Google actually
>>We had this freedom of using Linux, and Microsoft has been taking it back.

The only thing taking your freedom back is the economics of selling Linux Desktops/Laptops. And the only thing stopping that is the Linux ecosystem fragmentation.

I'm sorry but no hardware vendor will lose sleep over some thousand developers wanting to run fragmented versions of Linux on their hardware.

>>Microsoft doesn't appreciate freedom

The purpose of companies is to maximize their profits.

>> this is why they used to fight open source and make open source communities look like bunch of marginalized geeks.

And they've by and large failed. The other part about open source's economics is beyond the scope of Microsoft's actions.
Apple WWDC Live Blog 2018
Android was really hated by middlemanagers at nokia. Android was eating Nokia's lunch in mid-end phones, and managers lost their sales bonuses. When Nokia went to talk to Google and Microsoft, Google gave the "here's the deal everyone gets" and Microsoft "we'll do anything for you".

Finally Nokia managers were full of hubris, and believed Nokias was still the center of mobile, and so important it to change the course of industry by Adopting Windows Phone.
They haven't changed to the positive, they have switched to other evils. They took Google's evil (all that spying), and a bit of Apple's evil (disposable hardware, Windows S walled garden).

What's funny about this attitude is how little the value of your engagement ring matters once the wedding is over, and the dust settles. Maybe in certain social circles, the size/quality of an engagement ring continues to be important, but from my anecdotal experience, no one notices or cares about my wife's engagement ring, unless they are getting married soon.

A very large amount of websites can be used without JS.

Microsoft have stopped giving a damn a long time ago, and require JS from a dozen domains just to display a bunch of text documentation.

They're definitely worse than your average JS-only website.

This isn't about "Doctors refuse to give gender hormone/surgery treatment to trans folks", this is "Doctors refer to do normal doctor things to people who happen to be trans".
The political parties, at the state level, sabotaged any reasonable intention in the Electoral College. Most states have laws, some with heavy penalties, requiring that the Electors are made up of party loyalists. These are not deliberative people, and the founding idea of the College in Federalist 68, is that the this body should be deliberative.

I argue those state laws make it essentially impossible for a national 3rd party to emerge.

Another factor, ironically, is more democracy and less process, in the party primary system, while at the same time not having mandatory voter participation, has allowed an even lower signal to noise ratio in the eventual two choices the parties select. A tiny number of people participate in the primaries, and making it easier for highly emotionally motivated yet ignorant people to participate gets us increasingly partisan politics. That's what's edged out the moderates from both parties, and by moderates I mean, having the capacity to compromise.
Even worse I sometimes get a page that shows my the HN status twitter, last updated in 2016.
Wish it said:	This startup is selling lab-grown meat for 30% less and consumers can't tell.
I also noticed that, and it raises concerns. However, the intro, the questioning of the fundamentals when faced with evidence that contradicts the assumptions, is long overdue.

When interest rates entered negative territory, something deemed formally impossible a decade earlier, a huge alarm should have sounded in Economics. Instead, we got some after-the-fact explanations that are untestable, and continue applying the same old models.

Science is about constant questioning of assumptions, and I have the feeling Economics fails at this crucial step.

One of the problems with letting the market solve our moral quagmires is that hate is plain and quotidian enough to seep into every corner of our interactions. Would you feel the same if a small town grocery store refused to serve disabled people?

And to the bully comment, there is an expectation in the free world that someone who enters the service industry serves people based on their interest in the product and nothing else. You're free to be as shitty and intolerant as you want to be in your private residence.

I understand what you're getting at, but I respectfully disagree about this being clickbait.

A clickbait headline would be something like 'He made cheaper diamonds using this one simple trick. Jewelers hate him!', because you'd have to click to find out what that one simple trick is.

This headline seems to be literally true: A startup is making lab-grown diamonds that are 30% cheaper than mined diamonds, and jewelers can't tell the diamonds are lab grown. I think this might actually be the opposite of clickbait, because the headline is a complete summary of the story. You know what happened without needing to click at all. You only need to click if you want to learn more about the why and the how.
If you're genuinely curious, then I highly encourage you to try it out. For me, I can view almost everything I want and am much happier with javascript disabled by default and enabled only when needed.
What is 'enough' businesses? AFAIK, sexual orientation is not a protected class under the civil rights (perhaps it should be). However, even without those protections there is not a rampant problem of discrimination. So it would seem to me these problematic businesses are being sought out and taken to court because of their religious beliefs. I think the burden on the customer to go to any other bakery is less than the burden of imposing on one's religious freedom.

Any comparisons to race on this topic is unfounded as race is already a protected class and I don't know of any mainstream religion that discriminates based on color.
> Everything more morally noble than that is just shades of gray, and you do not want the courts and law getting involved in that kind of shades of gray. Leave it to the markets.

The Civil Rights Act seems to have worked out fine. The legal ability to refuse to sell houses to KKK members, but not to black people, seems to have not caused serious problems in society, a lack of fundamental liberties, whatever. Are there serious problems that I'm not noticing?
IMO being open-source isn’t such a minor deal, because it alleviates the worst-case scenario should Gitlab ever get acquired: if theoretical new management removes or changes price tiers, you can spin up your own on short notice. That management could reduce the effort put into maintaining their CE product or take it in an unfavorable direction and cause a fork, but the immediate damage is avoidable.

One possible caveat is performance. While I haven’t had to deal with this personally, some people reported that Gitlab can be a bit slow to run[0]. This doesn’t matter much if you use their hosted solution (if they have cash now, they can solve it by beefing up their hardware), but could result in higher than anticipated costs of running a self-hosted instance.

[0] Speaking of anecdotal evidence easy to find on HN and elsewhere. I’m yet to see any performance benchmarks comparing self-hosted versions of Gitlab and GitHub Enterprise (the latter starting at about $2500 per year) on similar hardware. It could well be that Gitlab is the fastest product for its maturity and feature set.
Be nice if they flagged their own:

The decisions they made and evils they committed 20 years ago propelled them into the success they now enjoy.
The more I read about early computing, the more fascinated I become that the major problem innovators needed to solve was memory, not computing per-se.

Exactly. Electronic arithmetic hardware predates WWII. IBM had an electronic multiplier working. ENIAC was a giant plugboard machine. It's not that people didn't think of stored-program computers before Turing. It's that there was nothing in which to store the program.

IBM built machines with plugboard memory. Relay memory. Electromechanical memory. Punched-card memory. Punched tape memory. Drum memory. Look at the history of the IBM 600 series machines, a long battle to get work done cost-effectively with very limited memory.

Delay line memory was sequential and slow. Willams tubes were insanely expensive per bit. Core memory was a million dollars a megabyte until the early 1970s and didn't get much cheaper. There was plated wire memory, thin film memory, and various ways to build manually updated ROMs. All expensive.

Then came semiconductor IC memory (1024 bits in one package!) and things started to move.
Read the actual opinions. SCOTUS ruled that the board in CO that hears these cases was too anti-religious. They didn't rule on the merits of whether the bakery should or shouldn't have to make the cake.
>There wasn't much to kill, when they bought it Nokia was still clinging to Symbian and was in a freefall.

Who knows what would have happened to Nokia's Device division without Microsoft's involvement, but one thing is certain - Windows Phone exclusivity solidified their demise. At least Nokia got 7 billion for their troubles, though.

>They tried everything to get Windows Phone running, but were too late to the show. Also Google refused to make any kind of apps to their platform, effectively sabotaging it.

There's a difference between trying everything and being incompetent and constantly rebooting your platform and expecting a different outcome. As for Google sabotaging their platform - Microsoft was already doing a good job of it so they didn't need help from Google. Also, Google did have a couple of apps on their platform I believe, but let's not try and blame another company for the demise of their OS when they were ultimately responsible.
I wonder if this is the actual final death of TFS (Server) at this point as they could now move Github into that offering space for enterprises

I've worked in several offices around 2013 where people happily used Skype like IRC: everyone was in a list of ~10 channels and occasionally sent private messages to coworkers. Instead of building on this, Microsoft kept pushing its unpopular business chat app (Lync) and made sure that Skype was only useful for consumers (obnoxious birthday notifications, the "snapchat redesign" etc.)

Skype could have beat Slack to the punch. Instead Microsoft lost both the business and the consumer market.

I think I already have a pretty established workflow when starting things up, due to numerous stuff I have built previously. Hence, the process of doing things multiple times (and making some tweaks to along the way) seems to make it really fast and straightforward.

My take is that just do repetitively what you feel comfortable at and at some point, you will reach a level where everything feels so easy and natural.
Who taught you that high market cap equals nondestructive? Go ask for your money back.

That's because you don't appreciate hardware design. Its understandable that you might be confused because of the presence of x86 compatible hardware. There is no such thing as "ARM Laptop". All ARM devices choose their own ARM processor implementation integrated with a custom motherboard with an undocumented firmware design. Not to mention custom drivers for all of the I/O. You can't install any OS on any random hardware.

this is a cool feature but the actual whitelist has to be held internally, in responding to an OPTIONS request, you can respond with * or concrete domain name. you can't return something like "www.example.com, www.foo.com" .

if you want to whitelist multiple domains you have to resolve this server side and check the requesting domain against your list of accepted domains.

this took me a little while to figure out.

Except that's not the relevant comparison.

VSCode is absolutely OSS.
It works great on macOS. ;)

Support for a tertiary platform (in terms of addressable market share) like Linux desktops comes much later in this kind of product’s maturation.

Teams needs to first gain wider enterprise adoption on Windows and macOS first before they will look at allocating resources to additional platforms. Better off sticking with Slack on Linux until then.

Gosh golly, why would a black person want to eat in a restaurant run by an open white supremacist? To make a point, of course. Because this isn't just "opposing belief systems" in a Coke vs Pepsi way. We can't just all get along when the topic is effectively whether some group are really people or not.

Look at California's Proposition 8, for example. The text of it explicitly carved an exemption out of the state constitution's equal protection clause. The expressed notion was that everybody is equal before the law except gay people.

Tyranny of the majority is a common bug in democracies, which is why equal protection is important. As history shows, letting majorities oppress minorities leads to horrific results. Which is why equal protection is a vital principle of American government.

Your theory of tolerance is appealing but wrong. Minorities should not have to segregate themselves away from bigots. Separate but equal isn't equal.
