How an individual's data is or is not handled is not pertinent to that individual? That seems an absurd position to take much less impose onto others via some sort of princely directive.

It would seem like you have skin in the game of free-wheeling and dealing with folks and their data. That or just some passion without premise. What's good for the nation is (re)adapting to privacy - likewise its peoples and doubly so for the state. I also don't see your directive influencing those people's actions either, so it appears some other people disagree, too.
So I was actually just about to write a cross-platform app using https://material-ui.com/ purely because it is the most comprehensively fully developed and React-first toolkit for React out there. Plus it has 11k (edit: oh it's 37k, wow) stars on Github, more than twice as much as the next most starred React toolkit.

Semantic and Bootstrap have been "ported" to React and are missing features or do things non-idiomatically, whereas MUI was built with React in mind (twice if you count the rewrite). There are other React-first toolkits but none are nearly as comprehensive and "healthy".

But I've been on the fence because it feels really weird to write a cross-platform app (mobile and desktop) using components that are clearly designed to look like just one platform (Android). Technically I could make a custom theme for it, but that looks extremely complex, and OP's linked theme is practically the only free one I could find.

I'd love to just abandon toolkits like this and write my own React components specific to my app, but honestly I don't know how to make half the stuff that's in these toolkits. My JS/CSS is just not that strong.
That doesn't seem entirely true. Costs are still elevated in not-for-profit care centers.

Subsidized rates are ~5-7%. I know some of my sisters private loans are higher than 7% (I think somewhere around 10%). My parents gave her absolutely terrible advice about taking on the loans that she did, the millennial generation needs to be told the truth about the real life implications in servicing that much debt.

Agreed.

An expat is someone "on assignment", who has and expects strong ties with their home country. People who fit this description tend to frequently seek help from their own consulates, for example. It's particularly relevant for Americans because we tax ourselves even when overseas.

An emigrant (as seen from the source country) or immigrant (as seen from the destination country) is someone who has (usually permanently) moved and now expects primary services and sovereignty from their new home country.

I highly doubt that the distinction is strictly an anglophone concept, although perhaps it's related that they sound similar and have similar roots.
> masse flame war around gender, race, sexuality etc.

I don't think its a flame war as much as a reckoning. Its like saying the Civil Rights movement was a flame war; that is how deep changes happen in a society and culture.

Specifically w.r.t the #MeToo movement, I think women demanding more compensation and better workplace environment ends up benefiting everyone (even if the movement's primary concern is with other things).

If there is one thing this horrible Presidency has accomplished, it is more political participation among Americans; a recognition of the importance of politics and of voting. That perhaps is the greatest opportunity in this generation.

This, plus the problem of dealing with files with spaces, newlines, tabs, etc. in their names, are what draw the line for me between "things I am willing to write as a shell script" and "things that will make me use a scripting language† with its own file-manipulation system-call builtins."

A three-line script that takes one file as an argument? Sure, write that in bash.

A script that processes N files passed as arguments? Or that processes a listing of files piped in from stdin? And uses branching logic on the files themselves? Bash goes out the window.

Sure, it's possible to write shell scripts to do that. But why? Unless you're targeting a PDP11 or the Busybox-linked /bin/sh in your initramfs, is shell scripting really the best option?

---

† Personally, I reach for Ruby in these cases; its stdlib Pathname and FileUtils classes are pretty solid for this use-case, and Ruby interpreters are now roughly everywhere I want to deploy.

Ruby is kind of clumsy for doing all the command piping parts of scripting, though; especially since there's no easy way short of wrapping Kernel.system in your own function to make a Ruby script crash on a nonzero subshell exit status.

I'd love to know if there was a language that was like Ruby in terms of the syntax and semantics around strings, arrays, and files; but then was "just like writing a shell script" in the sense of being able to just use binary names to make "function calls" that are really synchronous subshell spawns and exit-code checks in one (but which still use the variable-passing semantics of the language where the resulting exec(2) ARGV is concerned.) Probably a Ruby DSL is the simplest way to get that—but if it's not in the stdlib, I'm not going to be able to use it for DevOps scripting :/

I think very few people realized the regulatory hazard of wealth. It's looking to me increasingly that capitalism as it is today is unsustainable because the wealthy in the market bribe regulators (for multiple, subtle definitions of bribe such as privately funded campaigns) to keep them in their dominant position.

I have friends in New York's service industry (bartenders, waiters, et cetera). Breaking in was tough. But once they established themselves, they began doing quite well.

Economised with roommates; diligently saved; kept a tight budget and continuously applied to the affordable housing lotteries.

I worked in a bread shop 6 days a week for several months, and my principle duty was to arrive at 630am and count the cakes in big trays that were unloaded from a van.

I'm in agreement with you mostly; it's just the un-accounted for "oh-shit" moments. Like real "oh-shit" moments, though. A lot of comments in here relating to health care; that's a good example.

I believe there are some solutions to help alleviate the situation.

Introduce land value tax.

In the countries using it, stop the mandatory Ponzi scheme retirement pyramid where young people are forced to pay a sizeable part of their paycheck while having no hope of receiving any in 30-40 years - that's straight up, time-delayed stealing.

Close the tax gaps used by corporations.

Provide free healthcare so people don't get ruined by medical emergencies.

Stop the student loan madness, provide free university education.

Restrict mortgage lending - it makes the property prices baloon in the long run and encourages housing bubbles.

Most importantly, start treating renewable energy and emissions seriously because we are destroying this planet with a speed with which we probably won't have to worry about economy after a few more generations.

Unfortunately, all of those would require enormous political changes and are impossible to implement.
Accurate assessment given current political structure.
This touches on a strange phenomena:

If your parents were wealthy or middle class and you are middle class, nobody judges you.

But if your parents were poor, and you are poor as an adult, that's somehow a moral failing, despite the fact that your level of economic mobility was identical to your middle-class peer above.

Nobody scolds someone making 60K/year for not 10x-ing their income, regardless of the opportunities they were given.

Somewhat ironic that this is being posted on Hackernews, where if I had to guess the average salary for millennials here is 3X the national average.

Seems most of us here already found the answer: learn something about the fastest growing sector of the economy and participate in the future instead of lamenting the present.

If you're waiting for government action to create a better distribution of wealth in the only developed country where poor people actually vote against a public safety net you're going to be disappointed.

It's just not going to happen politically in the US for decades so your only option is to play ball in the system as it is now and vote in the meantime.
it's not either or. privileged AND hardworking is a possibility.
That's not a "base". In base-n, the valid digits are 0..[n-1].

In your system, 1 = 10 = 100 = 1000, and 11 == 101 = 110, and 101 = 1+1 = 11.
It's useless as a notation for arithmetic resembling like what bases are used for.

In base 1, the only valid digit is 0, so the only valid number is unit.
Look up five eye agreement. Different governments often work with each other to catch people. You help me out and ill help you out type of stuff.
You’re also leaving out the part where the Taliban didn’t exist during the time that Afghani forces were receiving US support. If you look at the reason for getting involved in the first place, most people would agree that it wasn’t entirely unreasonable. That said if you look at how they handled the aftermath, most people would agree that part was a fuck up.

I'm afraid you're making assumptions here.

You could say the same about the file extension, meta data or any other means.

The best thing you can do is write your code to validate the input and to fail early, explicitly, and safely if it runs into a problem.
The problem is that these issues are so emotional they completely sideline any discussion of economic well being or economic issues in general. As long as they dominate attention other issues just don't come up.

And the debt is nondischargeable in bankruptcy. It's a societal failing that we're letting people take on this debt.

Anyone who takes on debt like that is increasing the risk to their lives. Sure, if everything follows the mean - good job, good health, good relationships - people on average come out ahead after an expensive education. But the downside risk is amplified. Get sick, and there's nowhere to turn and you're stuck servicing that debt for the rest of your life.

It's a problem that crosses party lines. Both finance firms and universities have played a role in setting this system up. But millenials have to vote in numbers and advocate for making student debt dischargeable in bankruptcy -- this is the whole social point of bankruptcy law dating back centuries, to reduce crazy downside risk to individuals.
"Well the vast majority of these kids would prefer to stay in the US."

For now.
I think its advantage is reliability. I don't know if it does much for speed.

You can't make off by 1 or 2 errors because then you'd end up with a count like 23 or 27. You're counting by 5... the last digit needs to be 0 or 5! And you're not going to make an off by 10 error.

You can visually pick out 2s and 3s to make your 5 before you add them in.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but ISTM the question isn't really whether the logs are of a genuine conversation about CP, but rather whether the accused really was a part of that conversation? After all, if he really took part in a conversation about procuring such material, it wouldn't have mattered if he talked like a newb. Likewise, if he wasn't in on it, it doesn't matter that everyone who was in on it got "the lingo" right.

ps. How would one know enough about the scene to motivate such skepticism?
Fair enough, but even a miniscule chance of having to deal with the US makes it a lot riskier to invade a small country.
Just because a protocol is old, doesn't mean you need to replace it. And newer stuff often is just a reiteration of the old stuff anyways.
My impression is that they move toward chaos. Rome used “bread and circuses” to keep the people occupied. Meanwhile power concentrated into the emperor.

There’s probably no exact trend. But that golden eras are easier to identify.
> A script that processes N files passed as arguments?

> Or that processes a listing of files piped in from stdin?

That has the tricky bit of "what about filenames that contain newlines" that would come up in an implementation in any language. Since the one byte not allowed in filenames is '\0', let's say that the listing uses '\0' to separate filesnames.

while read -d '' -r filename; do

There are things that are hard in Bash... but the things you mentioned aren't them.

You shouldn't. They have the choice to pack up and find better jobs and opportunities. Not all city jobs are doctors and engineers; in fact the fastest growing job is wind turbine technicians.

America has been through this before; the industrial revolution and then the Service sector industry led to mass migration from rural to Urban areas. And most younger Americans from smaller towns do end up doing just that.

I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone that can condone; nigh constantly encourage the kind of cruelty that we see today from the GOP.

> $100k in student loans

I don't really know how student loans work in the US, but I've heard that federal loans payements were indexed on income. For that reason, they are more akin to taxation than to a regular debt. Is that correct?
This is also true for running arbitrary non-code.
This the same thought that came to my mind as well. We can all romanticize the tough rural life but in my experience it act as a big obstacle in advancement.
Having a supporting family who you can turn to for advice and who will encourage you , is not a bad thing. Abuse can leave scars that almost never leave you.
I think very few people will be able to tell the difference.

However, IMHO, the source of the beef can trump all that. I used to buy a year's worth of beef from a local farmer all at once. Even after a year in the freezer, a burger made from his grass-fed beef tasted better than one made from meat bought from the grocery the same day. When you start out with high quality meat, it takes a long time before the flavor degrades.

OTOH, "regular" store bought ground beef tastes nasty after being frozen for a few months.
The other thing I found was that drinking and driving was not as much of a problem, just take the train/bus when you're going to be drinking. It's odd how this is never part of the discussion.
Just to expand a bit on the above, look at currently top rated poster with 100K in student loans. I think it's somewhat axiomatic this out of balance and most people would consider it "wrong" and "abusive". So who is to blame? The bankers? Well, ya, partially. The government who let it get like this and didn't make funding education a priority? Yep, as well. School administrators who keep adding on layer after layer of useless non-productive bureaucracy driving up costs to astronomical levels? Yep, them too. How about companies that insist someone sit in classes like literature for at least a couple of years before they can push buttons on a machine? Yep. How about people who try to fake their way into jobs they can't do necessitating the previous? well, yep, them too. How about a guy who wants to "get on with the university" so he can have good benefits and a pension after 20 or 30 years? he's partially to blame as well.

Point is, we can't just blame bankers and politicians and corporations and call it a day. Our activity, almost to the person is responsible for the horrible outcomes. We all are trying to get a little piece of the pie and the sum total in this system is producing undesirable side effects. Housing is another prime example. It's ridiculous. Way out of wack. Unless you bought a house 30 years ago then what a great way to save for retirement and housing appreciating is fantastic!

I really think we need to back up and address some fundamentals. Housing, healthcare and education being big ones. These aren't a place for speculation and self serving bureaucracy. They are necessities of life and an advancing society. So we need to change some things about how these are run. But that means some people will no longer be able to victimize others and will lose out. But it's not all just bankers and CEOs. It's a lot of little sucker fish attached to the ecosystem as well. So it's not as easy as just getting out the guillotine which is all too common of a reaction.

In America almost no leftists are communists. The moderate ones are some hybrid of capitalism and socialism and the radical ones are anarchists.

>The popular culture of the west instead decended into this en masse flame war around gender, race, sexuality etc.

That was the whole impetus behind the adoption of "identity politics" by a corrupt Democratic party establishment who had completely sold out their traditional base of working people to Wall Street. Their continued push to make society's problems all about "identity" instead of economic inequality (You can still hear the cries of "race not class!") was a strategy deliberately employed by the scions of the Democratic party firmly entrenched in the ruling class. Have no doubt that they are out in the Hamptons right now, rubbing shoulders with billionares and oligarchs crying about racism and 54 genders while countless millions of Americans are mired in poverty, and hundreds of millions more are one medical emergency or minor crisis away from homelessness. Those at the DNC and the Center for American Progress and a dozen other neo-liberal think tanks collecting millions a year to maintain the economic status-quo have everything to gain and nothing to lose by continuing to polarize people based on "identity" in an effort to distract them from the profound structucal problems in our economy and our society. Unless and until people wake up and eject these grifters from the halls of power the Democratic party is destined to look very much like the Republican party, just peddling a different brand of bigoted idiocy to keep poor people from supporting their economic interests.
Journalists and Digital Security: Some Thoughts on the NYT Leak Case
I'm not particularly pro or against a monarchy, however, even IF the annual cost is £300m, I don't even get why it matters in the case of the UK? The Crown Estate owns £12bn worth of assets and returned £328m in 2016/17.

As these assets (while held in trust and managed professionally) belong to the sovereign, they are self sustainable and have covered all expenses. If there would be no monarchy, it's not unlikely these assets would return to the royal family.

Then look at the value a monarchy brings. In many parts of the world, a king or queen carries more respect than a president. They can help facilitate trade and form relationships that might otherwise not exist, because they're around for a long time as opposed to shorter term presidential thinking.
For one thing, it completely hollowed out a previously common claim of attribution for the alleged DNC "hack": "We have some evidence of tools that only Russian state employees use!" "These CIA documents indicate that CIA and other parties also use those tools..." "Why do you hate America?"

> there was huge pressure to do something about it despite the media's constant stream of 'nothing to see here'..... and then nothing happened.

That seems to be the case with pretty much every major issue we're facing right now. The student loan bubble, the Republican tax cut and repeal of Wall Street regulations, global warming, education, the decimation of the nation's worldwide standing, the obesity crisis ...

Collectively, we have no attention span. We get scared about something, then think to ourselves "well, somebody has always solved the big problems in the past. I'm sure somebody will solve this one, too," and go back to voting for someone on The Voice instead of someone in the Senate.
