Since the registry is public, it would be very easy to write tools like a browser extension that would handle validating against the registry, preventing the type of fraud you're talking about. More generally, there's an interesting project called MetaCert that is doing just that (fraud/phishing prevention) using their own cryptoeconomic incentive system.

War is a highly profitable enterprise - many of the industrial giants of the 20th century were built off the back of armaments, supplies (clothing and rations), and finance.

As long as war remains wildly profitable, war will continue - and war always has been profitable, and likely always will be - right up until the point that there’s nothing left, and the profiteers realise they can’t eat a number in a ledger.
That's (to my ears) a very American sentiment. I'd say the closest thing we have in Europe would be found in France. It also carries a soft but audible 18th century, liberal resonance. Yous really are sister republics. Heh.

Anyway... I disagree (amicably). I think this is a terrible state of affairs. A fearful regime is a dangerous one. Fear is the enemy of "us" and this is degenerative to a republic, and oppressive in non-republics. The GDR feared the people would overthrow. Assad fears the people.

It doesn't generally result in "we'll do a better job so they like us." It results in building up a populist (and sometimes violent) popular counterbalance. It results in paranoid spying and attempts at control.

I know HN prefers high brow, philosophical quotes but this really does sum everything up, even if it's campy.

I've just started reading Silent Invasian: China's Influence in Australia, which made headlines around the world last year when its original publisher decided not to publish it out of fear of what the Chinese Communist Party and its proxies in Australia would react. That China has this sort of influence (see also all the airlines and hotels and other companies that bent over backwards to apologise for listing China and Taiwan as separate countries) overseas already is worrying.

On another note, I don't like the moral equivalency that seems to be popular between China and the US. The "but America does bad things too" response. The reality of America is often ugly, but it was founded and has always preached ideals like democracy and liberty and human rights and the rule of law. America's great failings are generally when it doesn't live up to its own ideals. Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist Party holds none of those ideals, sees the rights of the individual as completely subservient to the needs of the state, and has no qualms with wide scale censorship, jailing human rights lawyers and activists, harvesting the organs of political prisoners, etc.

In my opinion, one of the most unfortunate consequences of China's growing power is that it gives other authoritarian countries cover to abuse human rights. We seem to be seeing it in the Philippines with Duterte, and just last week a US citizen was arrested (and hasn't been released) in Vietnam after being involved in a protest.

Leaving any faction willing to actively seek out and start wars to win by default, unopposed even by a faction only willing to use it to protect itself and it's allies?

I'm not saying there's any perfect formula for only using warfare for protection. Who counts as deserving protection? What exactly are the circumstances in which war is justified? How aggressively should war be used even for protection in any particular circumstance? these are difficult and contentious issues.

However there absolutely are people out there who don't care a fig for any of that, will gleefully use war to further their aims and will pursue it to their maximum advantage if free to do so. Those people have to be stopped somehow.

This is more about Woodrow Wilson, than Debs. Wilson, like many progressives, thought that you should never let things like the constitution get in the way of doing "good".

His version of "good" was that he was a massive racist. Among other things, he resegregated the federal government, ending the careers of many who were not white.

He also did not like freedom of speech or the press. He prevented magazines and newspapers he disagreed with from going through the mail. Nice piece of work.
How to waste $5M on containerized infrastructure
In the first embryonic stage, humans also grow exponentially ...
Maybe someone could help me with a LTE issue here...
I'm in Croatia, about 1km from the tower, -70 dBm.
The (ZTE MF286) router has a MTU 1500 and MSS 1300 setting.
I can change this setting.
In Germany I have a VDSL (Telekom DSL) 100/40 MBit/s home network.
A Fritz!Box 7590 is on the front and it's providing VPN access over old age cisco type xauth1+psk (aka user pass and group pass).
When I try to connect in Archlinux using Networkmanager-vpnc I can connect to the German home network.
But I can't ssh into any boxes in the German network.
I am able to do that over Croatian DSL without issues.
The adapter's MTU is 1500 and the tun0 MTU is 1412.
So this works over DSL but not over TLE.

When I change the adapter's MTU down to 1420 (reading libreswan's site I stumbled upon this value) I can login via ssh and seemingly also use it as it's supposed to.
But then other issues arise...
TLS Handshakes timing out. As if a dog is trying to chase its tail.
I've canceled the TLE service subscription in the 14 day period because of that and I'm going to return the router today in 4 hours tops.
This this is kind of a last straw kind of help request.
Otherwise I'm stuck on a 14/1 Mbit/s VDSL connection which is painful to say the least, but at least I'm able to ssh into my German home network without problems.

Just a nitpick: Classical music from 200 years ago is definitely not "early music" by any cultural tradition. Western music 200 years ago was a highly developed art form, and this is even more true for other classical traditions that exist today, such as Chinese classical music and Indian classical music.

200 years ago, the symphonic form was already highly developed, which most would argue is the most advanced form of Western classical music.

I don't think music from this period necessarily gives you any pointers for gauging the quality of modern pop music, but it might influence your tastes in a positive way. Just keep in mind that very advanced music is still being written, and it mostly doesn't sound anything like what was written 200 years ago.
Perhaps the most sustainable GCP region, do any other cloud providers offer cooling by icy ocean waters?
There's a lengthy explanation published in Facebook [1](in Spanish, sorry). The important fact is that there's an app which reads accelerometers in people's phones, which is used to trigger these "seek shelter" type alerts. Since many smartphones shook a lot in unison, the public alert was triggered. They apologize for this and state that they are working to avoid this from happening again.

However, they remark that actual, scientific seismographs did indeed pick these "soccer goals" events, although since they were of relatively low magnitude (III to IV Mercalli scale), no public "seek shelter" alert was generated on the basis of these readings.

I'm curious. Did you expect them to praise and embrace slavery on their website?

Slavery enables companies such as Nestle to source their resources for costs far below what they would have to pay otherwise. They do so while simultaneously condemning slavery and making some token efforts to combat it. Just enough to keep their carefully crafted public relations positive enough that it doesn't effect their bottom line. Though for what it's worth, I doubt that any of Hershey, Nestle, etc actually 'like' slavery, but they love the profits it enables, and that's undoubtedly been the story throughout much of history.
I would like to know how you were able to investigate that.

Still better than Numbers for Mac, though.
How is latency for you?
When watching a stream or downloading latency which playing an online game jumps up to ~1s (1000ms) in the game. Croatian TELE2 provider, indoors at -92 dBm.

I like this point. However, there is a howler in it, many company topologies are isomorphic. E.g. Star topology is isomorphic to a tree. And in reality all boy enough companies are glasses, with many weak links across many levels, no matter what the chart says.

Another point is that it's easy to mistake a power law for a sigmoid and vice versa.

Anger? I am not, nor did I intend to come across as, angry. I'm just passing along interview advice.

As for the myth of "world class salaries" I know, for example, that my nephew who works at one of the Top 5 companies, has a salary that is higher than I ever made. But he also lives near the company and has to share the rent with 4 other "world class salary" colleagues because he can't afford an apartment. I used to work in NYC with a "world class salary". One place I looked at to rent was $2000/month... which was a couch in the living room behind a japanese screen and kitchen privileges. Salary is relative (as in, it helps to have a relative with a basement apartment).

I've been to Google. What I saw was a large area of desks with no partitions, a literal sea of "the best and brightest". A historically accurate counterpart might be https://bakethiscake.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/sewing-room...

However, the coffee is fresh and free. The sleeping pods are available. Laundry and haircuts can be had onsite. The food is first class and available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is, in fact, no valid reason to leave the building. It's almost like working from home.

If you're fresh out of college and just passed your data structures final you probably can quote the order of an algorithm off the top of your head. If you hate your current job enough to put up with anything, sure do the whiteboarding. I certainly have done it. I'm not above it for some jobs. If you don't mind travelling to a location and talking to people who have no idea what you might do, why you're there, or who you might report to, then go for it. If you're being laid off and need a new job in a hurry, go for it. If you're not confident in your abilities as a professional, go for it.

But if you're job shopping and looking for a company that respects you as a professional, give some thought to the interview process. That process is dictated by management so it is a direct representation of how management views you. If you are considering a job change and looking at other companies, look carefully at what is being presented.

I've had bad interviews that were directly with the hiring managers. But at least I was pretty sure that I was turned down because they didn't need or didn't want what I could do for them. And I didn't have to remember that Coopersmith-Winograd is O(n^2.375477).

This is a good point. I definitely support free speech (that should go without saying), but it seems to be spread with a fervor not unlike how Christianity was spread during colonization.

For example, is the quality of life in Mexico--with free speech and democracy--better than one like Singapore or even China?

There are also different ideals of free speech too. The US version is very different from the European version.

Free speech should be ultimate goal, but perhaps there are other steps that need to be achieved first.

After meeting not one, but now around ~15 CCP members/officials of different statures in the party hierarchy. I can say that indeed a lot of things that drive the current generation of CCP's "hereditary nobility" (people in late forties to ~55 now) are manifestations of their social ineptness and insecurity.

Their comparison to frailing 19th century European nobility, I think, is totally appropriate.

What they afraid the most is "becoming nothing special people."

The world outside China scares them, as they see there is no place for people like them in the modern society that China will inevitably and invariably become as it evolves economically
The section titled Domestic Servitude in the United States.
Since China lacks real elections, the only way for a Chinese citizen to hold their government accountable is to protest or revolt. In the west, citizens can simply “vote the turkeys out”, which, by just rendering the politician unemployed, is less violent and often results in peaceful transitions.

The definition of “fear” is then just very different.
> I'd say the closest thing we have in Europe would be found in France

I don't know about other countries, but you're right, some Frenchmen want the government to fear them, because it's one way to keep the power in check. We also have a really strong executive power who kinda own legislative rights and have control over a tiny bit of the judiciary system, so it's understandable.
Maybe I'm the wrong audience for this (I have degrees in CS and Education and have worked in both fields) but this seems very simple/rudimentary and for the most part, doesn't really seem useful. Feels more like an ad for the link at the end.

"if you can’t do then teach! ;)" Maybe the winking face was meant to indicate that this is tongue-in-cheek but nothing else in the article really serves to support that. I dislike this phrase in general.

Each section seemed too cursory to provide any meaningful insight. As a teacher, I'm used to having people with less expertise offer me advice like "Use real world examples if you want to be effective." So, uh, use the vehicle, car, truck, etc... analogy when discussing superclasses and subclasses. Okay. Can you provide something else that's not so superficial? And calling words like "polymorphism" mumbo jumbo doesn't really help either. It's domain specific language that you should introduce eventually while making connections (both to other content in the domain and real world phenomena). Of course using those words without sufficiently explaining them isn't enough but shying away from key vocabulary because you underestimate your student isn't the best policy either.

"So if someone is not getting what you’re saying, try rephrasing your words and approach it like it’s a challenge on your end, not theirs." I think this is a good point and could be insightful for people who haven't taught before. Anyone that engages in teaching should hopefully realize it is a skill that takes effort, practice and reflection to hone (like any skill). You won't be perfect from the beginning. Assume your students are trying their best to understand and you are both trying to work together to build the connections needed to reach understanding. But if you're going into this thinking teaching is just a thing people do and your goal is to become a better programmer, I think there are more efficient ways to achieve that. You must be willing to put the time and energy into working on your teaching before you start seeing the benefits.

"it must be clear who is leading the way." Hmm... Definitely disagree with this. In the beginning I'm leading and directing but I'm trying to build skills, confidence and motivation such that control is slowly shifted to the learner (Student-led instruction is a big buzzword (buzzphrase?) in the edu world). I want my students to become independent so that whenever they leave me they can continue learning on their own. Going from having a boss/teacher that always takes charge to the "real world" of learning and doing all on your own can be disorienting. Let the student take the reigns so they get experience making decisions on their own while you're still there to offer guidance.

Sorry if this came across as harsh, I hope it can be taken as constructive criticism as opposed to me just being mean spirited. I definitely appreciate the subject of teaching popping up on hn.
