This has nothing to do with blind obedience whatsoever, which goes entirely against the point.

Socrates knew his teachings could run afoul of the law. And in fact it already had put him in contention with this in power, which many believe was an underpinning of his prosecution. In particular Socrates was a strong and vocal critic of democracy, which is the direction that 'the powers that be' were taking Greece. He feared that masses of people, of no meaningful qualification, were unlikely to be able to be able to vote to effective ends. He similarly feared the election of demogogues, which even at the time democracy had started to show trends towards.

And he was stating all of this at the height, and eventual decline, of Athenian democracy. Said democracy was in fact overthrown multiple times during Socrates' life in movements headed by former pupils of his! At one point Socrates was ordered to arrest one of his pupils. An order which he refused though at the same time making no effort to avoid its execution such as, for instance, by informing his pupil of it. See the nuance? Perhaps most ironic is that his final fate was decided by a vote of 500 Athenians of no particular qualification. And he was put to death by a 52% to 48% margin.

The point is difference between deference to law and deference to justice. Socrates would not obey the law without consideration, but he would also not seek to avoid repercussion for his actions.

This has occurred to me too. I am not sure (as I am not up to date with the stats) if abductions are up or down as a %, but if you think of it like supply and demand, the supply of easily abductable children is way down.

What I would suggest then is that, those that are left to roam are in more danger than those who aren't, because there aren't as many alternate targets. There are also fewer witnesses now too. So even if you think it is a big scare, there is less, to use a vaccination analogue (incorrectly I know), herd immunity.

Hmm, maybe headlines aren't a 1:1 match to reality.
> So you are suggesting it is a moral obligation to choose a smaller provider, even if the largest provider is better?

Not moral but, I’ve noticed that things all seems to be tied to a pendulum that swings back a forth. Pushing in the opposite direction is required to attempt a balance.
Does it matter? Twitter isn't profitable, Youtube isn't profitable. Nothing in capitalism is really profitable, or it sometimes seems. Most wealth is just ownership of speculative profit or return. But if you have profit, you're doing something wrong because you ought to be re-investing that to create more future speculative profit.

Anyway, they likely could have remained unprofitable for a long time instead of doing this.
Why? As the worlds leading contributor to open source and 40 years experience building development tools it is probably the best acquirer. Would you rather Oracle?
The tech giants have learned to think on longer time horizons than capital markets have. Which means that big companies and VC's (their vendors) ultimately end up dominating most startups, which in turn means that the original core essence of the company that made it successful in the first place gets weeded out for short term gain. The companies that can resist these powerful dynamics are very rare. They tend to be tiny, or extremely successful (eg. Airbnb, Uber, ...). It's the companies in the middle that have to worry the most.

You're exactly right. Religion was used as a foil against Communism in the Cold War. It was the Good Christian USA vs the Evil Atheist USSR.

"In God We Trust" was adopted as the official motto of the USA in 1956. "under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954.

Regarding putting "In God We Trust" on currency, Representative Charles E Bennett said "In these days when imperialistic and materialistic communism seeks to attack and destroy freedom, we should continually look for ways to strengthen the foundations of our freedom" [1].

One technical reason is Rust has safe dynamic (de)allocation (and without a GC), whereas I believe Ada misses that large segment of the "market" (it theoretically allows a GC, but IIRC the implementations do not support that meaningfully). I could be wrong, but I don't think there's anything quite to the same degree in Ada but missing from Rust.
Yeah that's not far from the other idea I'm entertaining, lol. Not necessarily that each cell is conscious or intelligent, but that there are creative mechanisms at play that we don't perceive. Ones that guide or 'program' evolution of DNA constructively rather than randomly.

To your point, the idea of a monolithic 'I' that represents the ~50 trillion cells in my body is kind of ridiculous, particularly when roughly half of them don't even share my DNA. In that same vein, it has always weirded me out that we don't intuitively know how our bodies work...to the point that I even began thinking of the human consciousness as kind of virus that infected the germ line of primates with this extra meat in the noggin that intercepts the senses and controls the body.

Anyway I just need to learn more about all of this stuff before I put any real stock into my harebrained ideas.

4 Ways to Add Security to Your Dedicated Server
I don't think that any of those countries were prosperous before Communism either.

- Gulag-style camps and secret police already existed in the Russian empire. USSR managed to have an "industrial revolution" over 20 years and beat Nazi Germany, then was the first country to space and was one of the world's superpowers right up until the end.

- If you look at the history of both Koreas post-WWII, you will see that the economic system has little to do with how DPRK is now.

- Cuba has done OK considering the embargo. Cf Haiti

- Colonialism and the Vietnam War did more damage to Vietnam than Marxism could have

- Again if you look at how poor the situation in China was pre-civil war you will see that the claim that Marxist policies "destroyed" China is false.

> What is certain is that the Soviet Union has been the worst reeking charnel house of this whole awful twentieth century, worse even than the one the Nazis created

I think it is hypocritical to call the USSR worse than the Nazis when at least 80% of the German casualties of the war were on the Eastern Front, thanks to Stalin's brutal policy to industrialize the country.
Ask HN: Isn't it sad that till this day we pay credit card fees per transaction?
I wish there was an online only bank where you could deposit money, and use their oauth2 like process to pay online anywhere. at no cost to seller or buyer.

The company would make money by cash on hand and investing some of it, (most people would have lot of cash left over in their accounts for long periods of time), and to make it even simpler the bank didn't have to pay .002 cent in interest every month.

Paypal could have been the it, but they charge just like credit cards, and suck more than a bank would.

Fear is definitely a solid deterrent though, no doubt.
Can you elaborate here? Because fundamentally I think there is a highly complex issue here. Social systems are in place for those of need. Yet simultaneously these systems suffer the problem that they can create incentive systems for people to engage in undesirable behavior, and they are also open to exploitation by those who normally would not need their aid. One wants to empathize with the person from the article, yet doing so without considering the how and why of them being where they are is akin to trying to solve a variable of two equations while considering only one.

I also think calling the comment a 'trope' is unreasonable. This looks to be an incredible lucid example of possible, if not probable, abuse. Yet that's masked in the appeals to pathos. How is mentioning this anything like a trope? If there is viable reason to believe that empathy/sympathy is being abused, it certainly seems valid to consider it and point it out!
Well that's the point: you are probably young enough, healthy enough and without many obligations, so it's easy for you to accept the lack of job security.

But add a chronic health issue or having to take care of a dependant and you'll quickly find out why that job security + decent instead of maximum wage is not such a bad idea.

Boeing-Backed Startup Lands JetSuite for Electric Plane's Debut
Not to defend Stalin but, those 26 million died during WWII. 8 million in the fighting alone, another 3 million in POW camps. It's a bit of a stretch to say Stalin murdered people who in fact died of starvation sitting in German occupied territory. And rather creative to imagine they would have died anyway, Nazi invasion or not.

Compare to the Taiping Rebellion, in which roughly 20-70 million died in a religious war. The Cato institute chooses not cite this as proof that religion is more violent than Nazi carnage. I suppose because both claims are equally ridiculous but only one matches Cato's coldwar ideology.
Interesting downvotes here, are you all fighting for your right to be excluded from politics due to stereotypes and prejudice?
> which is precisely why you should control for it, no?

No.

If willpower is inherited then what is required is a serious attempt to deal with this.

If parental income is a proxy for willpower, and willpower is substantially heritable (both quite likely) then naively controlling for parental income is actually controlling away a substantial portion of the child's own willpower! The model needs to specifically allow for the heritability for willpower, which theirs does not.

So in this case, the study demonstrates roughly "the marshmallow test does not test willpower, when you control for (much of the child's) willpower".

As such it is useless rubbish, like a lot of social science research.

And the bad thing is that now people are getting used to the empty streets, driving faster, paying less attention, assuming the streets will be empty. It will be very hard to go back.
Another example is Partner programs. We're relatively new entrant in the social media scheduling industry and are unable to compete with Buffer and Hootsuite because they have API access to post to Instagram via the Facebook Partner program.

In order to even apply to be a Partner we have to have a "backer" within Facebook who will vouch for us.

Weve been trying to find such a person since February and we're still not any closer to being able to apply.

It's a hugely anti-competitive approach and makes it impossible for non Silicon Valley startups to get a foothold in the market.
Flutter is by far the best UI library I've dealt with. Its like React, but without the nasty JSX syntax. The APIs are sane and thoroughly documented. Its layout model is (by design) super simple, so it's really quick to prototype and iterate. The developer tools are top-notch: great support in IntelliJ, hot reload.

But the best thing about flutter is the rendering. It's completely consistent across platforms because it renders every pixel itself and because of this it's also really easy to draw exactly what a designer envisioned.

You are basically correct. That is a large portion of the demographic here.

I'm kind of "the token poor person" and "the token woman" here. Which doesn't mean I am the only one of either category, but I tend to be remembered.

There are lots of problems with speaking publicly on the internet as if you think you are speaking to some private club of similarly well heeled professionals. I'm not really up for trying to detail that. I get enough crap off of people for things like failing to hide my gender and socioeconomic status.

Suffice it to say, it's generally a good idea to go ahead and state the qualifications you have in mind when posting publicly on the internet, regardless of whom you assume the majority demographic to be.

Well they could change the terms of service and essentially drive certain types of projects away. They could limit access to older builds and versions to non-paying customers. They could limit access to verified/signed builds. They could reserve certain rights to your software such as they did with npmjs.com. They could run ads, offer IT staff skill matching and promotions, FizzBuzz-like services, or other LinkedIn integrations. They could come up with clever schemes for offering commercial licensing for open source. They could go after the enterprise package mirrors and policy checkers market Artifactory et al are serving. Not saying they'll be doing that (MS isn't stupid), but given MS is selling mainly to enterprises, there are many creative ways they could make money of it.

Exactly. GitHub Enterprise under MS rule would be an epic conflict of interest for many customers who currently use it because MS could/would compete with them.

Are you suggesting no one goes to work at the weekend, or that no one who goes during the week goes to the city at the weekend?

Outside the USA, public transport may run a little less often on a Saturday or Sunday, but it's still useful for people to use for shopping, going out and so on.

For example, in Copenhagen the trains run every 10 minutes rather than five, and the rural trains are every 60 minutes on a Sunday, rather than 20. I think the metro is the same at the weekend as during the week.
OK I'll avoid iterating the ludicrously long list of Microsoft acquisitions that immediately did go to shit. Often intentionally, like AutoRoute straight after purchase from Nextbase.

All I need do to have concern about this acquisition is look to last year. https://archive.codeplex.com/

How long before they get bored of github then? Codeplex wasn't as good or popular as github, but did seem to have many valid reasons for existence if you were Windows focused. So they killed it.

You might think that that's a great phrase for it, but many other people don't interpret "move fast and break things" to mean what you think it means.

I'm all for criticizing things that have gone wrong, but you're using an overly-broad brush.
Popular messengers are centralized, controlled by corporations, and use outdated technologies. All these lead to lack of privacy — your communication can be hijacked, personal info sold, and it is always possible to track your conversations.

To fix this lack of privacy we've built the ADAMANT messenger. No phone numbers or other IDs are needed to use the app. Instead of storing information on a device or remote servers, we put it directly into the blockchain. The data is protected by top-notch encryption algorithms and can only be accessed by participants who have the necessary keys. Information is stored in a distributed database that cannot be blocked, and there are no serious consequences if the user loses his device.

With ADAMANT it is almost impossible to associate a message history to a specific person, even if someone manages to decrypt data from the blockchain.

Try it yourself and tell us your thoughts! Thanks!
You can't hide it on github either. You can just look at the commits directly, and I've used this to contact people in the past due to the "UI" hiding it. It's nothing more than the thinnest bit of obfuscation, and easily overcome.
I don’t believe you’re right (though I’m welcome to be proved wrong). Assuming the consent basis, GDPR requires that consent needs to be for a given set of data and a defined processing model. You can’t process the same data in a different way without getting new consent, and you can’t collect data indiscriminately. So saying “additional functionality using the same data is fine” is true if and only if your original consent was wide enough to include that additional processing, but consent needs to be “granular” at the same time. Tbh it’s all a bit up in the air at the moment until some case law happens. Also obviously if you’re using a different basis then none of this applies.
