While I'm a big proponent of States' Rights and a strict reading of the 10th Amendment, in the case of Facebook which, by it's nature is not only national but international, I have a hard time understanding how a State law can have jurisdiction over Facebook in this case. It seems to me that Federal Law should have original jurisdiction by virtue of the Interstate Commerce clause in this case UNLESS it can be shown that residents of Illinois were targeted or all of the servers and logic for doing facial recognition, analysis, and storage of biometrics were in the State of Illinois. That said, I am not a constitutional lawyers...

In the 80's a huge variety of systems used entirely different options altogether. RS-422 looks weird today because the other weird options have died out or become even more niche.

E.g. Commodore used IEEE-488 variations on it's 8-bit lines. Many others were used by others. Peripherals were commonly expected to be specific to a specific computer manufacturers products still.

In retrospect it's clear it wasn't ideal, but at the time RS-232 was just one more alternative that didn't really stand out as a winner yet.
And if you disagree with the people ordering the killing, you might not want to fulfill their wishes for new weapons improvements, knowing that they'll use them for killings you disagree with. Or if it makes killings politically easier for them, then it's in your interest to not do that. Why is that unlogical?

Let's say your neighbor starts poisoning all the pets in your neighborhood, would you make poison for them because it's not the poison doing the killing?

ISIS is a direct consequence of US interventions.

The Post-WWII history of the middle east mostly follows the pattern “US declares $X evil. In its fight against $X, US supports $lesserEvil with money and weapons. $Y years later $lesserEvil has used funding and weapons to grow and become $greaterEvil. US declares $W as $lesserEvil and funds them. Repeat.“

Short term that might seem smart, but do it long enough and you have a region full of well armed splitter groups, are least half of which hate you.

The UdSSR/Russia isn't blameless either, but the most notable positive long term effect of US actions in the middle east seem to be more jobs in the military-industrial-complex.

There's zero precedent to suggest that they won't get away with it. All Facebook has to do is go undercover with their data collection and hope that it's never revealed that they're still doing it, or when it does leak, they pay some fine equivalent to half a percent of 3 minutes' profits.

Thank you. This reminds me of Maria Montessori's words: If one has grown up with a veneration for humanity, one will not consent to become an unconscious, destructive force to destroy humanity. Men will not lend themselves to those erroneous ways which foolishly destroy the creators and maintainers of everything that provides for their existence. They will be unwilling to use the supernatural and universal powers which they possess for a cosmic cataclysm to destroy the fruits of civilisation. Having developed a conscience and sentiment towards human life, they will be incapable of cruelty; for cruelty belongs to a dead soul.
"In the future, one can imagine an interconnected ecosystem of collectivist groups that provide services and produce goods.

The author must be living on another planet. He's describing the present as if it were the future.

Prices are not quite that high, even in our most expensive place, Burlington, which has great schools, is on a lake and has a great community. You can find places over 3k a month, but they are really nice places. I'd say you can find a decent 3-bedroom for 2k and up. (Most of the rentals for the state can be found on craigslist: https://vermont.craigslist.org/)

But let me tell you about Montpelier, the smallest state capitol in the country and the only one without a McDonald's. I think it is the best small community in the world, however this is coming from someone who has not lived many places. Near Montpelier things are a little cheaper (depending on how near) and if you go out 15 minutes drive or more prices begin dropping drastically. Montpelier has at least one of everything you need: Mexican place, one sushi restaurant, one pharmacy, one grocery store, one co-op, etc. It does not have much for shopping, which is true of all of central Vermont but there is a Walmart in neighboring Berlin.

If you want somewhere close to cool community events but super-cheap look into Barre, which is Montpelier's sister community--but it's that sister who has had a bit of a 'failure to launch' and everyone suspects is doing drugs. Houses are dirt cheap in Barre and it is 15-minutes drive to cool things in Montpelier. And while there are more 'bad elements' in Barre, it also has a ton of really cool people not on drugs, raising families and I believe things are starting to happen there.

Both Montpelier and Burlington are great for liberal-minded, community-oriented persons, Montpelier being a bit more into it. Burlington seems to be mostly made up of out-of-staters and can seem quiet transient as they come and go, where more people seem to stick around longer in Montpelier. If you are like this and live in Barre you will have to seek out your kind, but there are plenty there.

Vermont is great if you love the idea of hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, of owning a few acres with your own woods on them. Vermonters, especially rural Vermonters, pride themselves on minding their own business and letting everyone do whatever they want as long as they aren't bothering anyone else too much. Also we just legalized growing a few pot plants at home for your own recreational use, if you're into that.
> It will be interesting to see exactly how nothing and missing play out in-practice. I feel like if all things go well, then in most circumstances operating with a missing should return a missing (i.e. properation), and operating with a nothing should throw an error (Much like a NullReferenceError).

We all know that having a null value in your language is a mistake, but i have to admit that it had not occurred to me that the fix was to have two null values.
Indeed, which comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. As someone that has to always care about performance, Machine Learning, I am very happy not to have to worry about dependencies not being compiled to take advantage of the latest and greatest CPU instructions on a specific box in a very heterogeneous cluster. Now, you could just compile it all on each deployment, but something as large as say TensorFlow takes ages and not everyone gets to enjoy having great devops at your beck and call.

Interview with Chris Sherrod from BlissLifePress
Sorry, but it's a bit rich when people who literally won the lottery call for hard work. The reality is you got lucky. There were probably many people who worked harder than you and saved more than you who will never enjoy anything close to your success.

And that's okay.

All wealth is based on luck or coercion (really, just coercion). This is trivially true if you understand what wealth is: claims on the labor-time of others. Since most people aren't in the habit of freely giving away such claims in order to accumulate such claims you either need a gun or you need to stumble upon something that other people need so much they'll surrender their labor-time -- literally they're time on earth -- for. I say stumble upon because presumably when you were born you didn't "own" much of anything. (And yes, to complete the analysis, the only thing that prevents others from simply seizing whatever it is you've lucked into is somebody else has guns and stops them in return for a cut. It's coercion all the way down.)

And that's okay. While capitalism doesn't alter the essential nature of wealth -- it's not magic -- it does strongly incentivize those with wealth to try and accumulate more wealth. Capital demands to be put to work immediately, always, 24/7, to acquire more capital.

If you understand this then it should be clear the article is silly and there are and there will always be only three ways to get "rich" (which again, just means to accumulate labor claims).

1. Be lucky.

2. Get some guns, some men, and declare that you are now rich. (This is what people mean when they say sovereigns can "print money" or that sovereigns cannot default. The wealth of sovereigns is structurally inherent. As Keynes might say, a sovereign is wealth, that is, it is labor claims.)

3. Go to work for those who are already wealthy and make their lives better, that is literally make "the rich richer."

The article rambles and uses a lot of silly words to say #3. And while the author may mention society understand that whatever you want to do "for society" will require you begging for capital from rich guys like the author.

When I explain this to bold young college students who are very hesitant to go to work for the "Man" (in finance or law) it always leaves them very depressed. To lighten the mood a bit I will say this: not all capital is subject to free, anonymous exchange (the logic of the market). This is the key insight of Marx: there are relations that can produce wealth (labor claims) that do not require price signals. Which is just a fancy of way of saying you can actually make yourself quite wealthy without buying/selling anything. (Unless you're one of those insane Randroids who believe when a mother sings to her newborn baby she is somehow profiting from the "exchange.") The interesting thing about what Marxists would call such "non-reified" capital is that it can have tremendous though hard to measure effects and it can operate at global scale eg open source software and many world religions.

> I can only speak to the US but this is much more an insurance issue than a wealth issue. When I made $30k a year I had a ~$75k surgery and it cost me about $1200 all in, including follow-up copays with the surgeon, because I had good insurance through my employer. I probably had $15k in credit card debt at the time and rented a $400/mo room in someone else's house - certainly not rich by any stretch.

This isn't rich. Rich is the ability to direct people to research life extension and disease prevention. It's to be able to have access to the newest techniques and best doctor, regardless of world location.

It's the ability to have a sick child with 24/7 doctors and only worry about the child.

Rich is the ability to buy an island and create a clone army of yourself, using that army to construct the largest ai supercomputer the world has ever seen, then solving aging and disease ultimately merging with the machine, redefining and extending what it means to be human.

Actually, an "enlightened" person most likely wouldn't care about those factors. They'd be happy with a hut in the woods, depending on donations or foraging for food.

But as yayana points out, none of those factors depend on being rich in well run countries. (There are alternatives to the scandinavian models with a bit less nanny state that also achieve all of those factors, but the Scandinavian countries are the most famous for letting you not care about medical care and bad employers.)

Agreed, SNI and DNS need to be fixed together, not separately. And definitely without centralized services, like Cloudflare. Otherwise why not just go all the way with centralization and provide secure proxy for everyone in the browser.
> So I guess my question to you is: If the drone program was somehow 100% precise and it only affected people the US government deemed as "bad people", would you still be against it?

This question is nonsense. We already have a system for determining who is "bad people" and doling out punishment in a fair way. It's called the criminal justice system. The drone program can't ever be "100% precise" because it's acting as the "executioner" of the "judge, jury, and executioner" that is US foreign policy. Even if it killed only the intended target, the targets are chosen through extrajudicial means.

If you want to counter that the US is "at war" with al-Qaida, I would ask: when does this "war" end? What are the victory conditions? Many (most?) of the people who were in al-Qaida in 2001 are already dead - yet the drone strikes continue.
If you use your providers resolvers you would be very unlikely to have this problem (it's not likely someone will re-route the traffic on the network of the provider themselves).
The drones would have to be pretty tough to do JIT delivery during cyclone season. Maybe it can be done when the weather is good, provided that it is beneficial to do so.

It's mainly targeting MATLAB, and to a slightly lesser extent scientific and numeric programming in Python and R. It's a well thought out language that allows you to write MATLAB-like high level code with an easy gradient for progressive typing and optimization to near C level performance. It's a bit harder to sell versus Python, since Python has enormous value in the ecosystem, community, and ubiquity. Also, because it primary targets MATLAB a lot of the standard libraries try to have similar ergonomics, which is a bit of a waste of a great tool to recreate a poor interface.
I know of no long-term studies of palm reading. In my view, this would be a gimmick.

However, you could machine learning to take a hand and output the following characteristics:

- whether it is a hand

- relative length, curvature, and forks of "head line"

- relative length, curvature, and forks of "heart line"

- relative length, curvature, and forks of "life line"

These factors can influence the selection from a finite set of traits that have a corresponding paragraph that the user can read. These would be written by a copywriter or taken from a palm reading guide.

Ask HN: Recommendations on books and documentaries on tech companies/people?
There exist lots of material about trending companies such as Amazon, Facebook, Apple and the people behind them such as Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, etc...

But what about companies such as Sun Microsystems, Netscape, Intel, Red Hat...and people involved in tech such as Tim Berners-Lee, Marissa Mayer, Brian Kernighan...?

For instance, I read the "iWoz" book by Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, and loved it because he describes lots of technical challenges he faced, as well as what problems had Apple back at the time. Lots of fun facts, anecdotes and info, mainly from a technical perspective.

Another nice book was "Just For Fun", by Linus Torvalds. It provided a human perspective on Linus, who is usually depicted as a tyrant. In addition he describes the initial development of the Linux Kernel as well as the whys behind it, a nice introspection for those who are into programming.

Those are the kinds stories I'd like to read, material about tech companies: how they got created, what struggles did they have to face, the people that founded them and developed them.

Do you have any recommendations in the form of books, documentaries, blog posts or other sorts of material?

Thank in advance!

This was funny! I recognize these conflicting views. The first is the view that math is a fundamental force governing nature. The second is that math is simply a way to describe the forces of nature.

I once heard PG say something like "It's crazy, but the YC startups that succeeded are the ones who followed our advice. The ones who failed, didn't".

He's never claimed there's anything particularly brilliant about his advice. Indeed he's joked that his presence in office hours sessions could be replaced by a 3-line shell script. "Make something people want", "talk to your users", "spend less money than you make"... that's pretty much it.

I think most of the really good VCs would be similarly modest about the value of their advice.

The principles are really simple and easy to convey.

The hard part is actually doing it.
Some would argue that if you make a profit from it, then yes it is unethical.

If worker A makes product P, and you sell product P for $1000. And then you pay worker A $800 for the work, you make $200 profit.

Worker A did $1000 worth of work, but only got paid $800. You did $0 worth of work (with regards to actually making P) but you got $200.

Hence it is unethical.

Mostly, I think a 'terrorist' can be a rational person.
