I don't get it. If these systems are not air-gapped then that is gross negligence.

There is absolutely no reason that these systems are exposed to the internet.
Have kids and give them sugar. It absolutely is a verifiable thing. You get ~2-3 hours of hyperactivity/tunnelvision followed by the crying crash to nap combo. Every parent knows this. It's real and repeatable.
This is ridiculous.

It all depends on the person and the job. Some people can work a lot more than others. Likewise, some jobs are less demanding than others.

This is just as bad as minimum wage laws.

How do these people come up with such absurd laws?
> We have a century of evidence that calorie restriction is not a diet people can stay on.

We do? Last I checked we had a century of people being told that fat is bad and they should eat the fat-free high-sugar yogurt. CICO is still a hotly debated concept in many circles. Such as this thread.

Calorie restriction doesn't tell you what you should or should not be eating. That is the beauty of it. It doesn't tell you what you do. It doesn't resign you to eating spinach for the rest of your life. It doesn't say you can never have ice cream.

> Calorie restriction alone while eating fast food, soda, cake, etc is a diet of chronic hunger/deprivation, and "become a monk with an iron will until your death"...

Is a strawman nobody suggested. Any diet that it seems you would prefer, that is more detailed/restrictive in its advice is nonetheless still a calorie restriction diet because nothing else would actually work.

Calorie restriction and counting is a request for introspection. If it gets you to simply realize that big macs are really calorie dense, and that you'd break your daily limit with 3 of them, it has done its job. It's up to you to figure out if you have enough willpower to still include big macs in your diet. Mostly overweight people just have no idea how much they're actually eating.
As much as I hate bloated page sizes, breaking the back button is the absolute worst thing a website can do. It is a disgusting violation of the user's experience. It's like locking the door behind a customer when they enter your store and then forcing them to jump through the window if they want to leave.

Are you familiar with the working culture in Korea? I only spent a few months there but it became clear from what I heard from professionals and students that 60+ hour work week is the average. Sure some jobs may be more than that in a healthy market, but it didn't seem like it was healthy.
I think that prototyping your software with (insert server side software ) and jquery is a really good way to prototype. It lets you get to market and or fail faster .

I fail to see how you drew that conclusion - it was not what I said.

If you consider paying $2K to avoid doing paperwork that gains you very little "easy", I would like to be your friend.
> Why not OpenID Connect?

Someone asked that in the comments of the article and the author responded with this link:

https://indieweb.org/indieauth-vs-openid-connect

The answer seems to boil down to IndieAuth being more decentralized.
All of the drivers license offices in the city limits of Atlanta were shutdown at the same time Georgia enacted a photo ID requirement for voting. Though only a temporary situation, for a period of time anyone living in the city who wanted an ID was required to hike out to the suburbs.

The state responded to criticisms of how difficult it could be for some to get an ID even if offered for free by having a bus travel around the state with the state issued ID issuing facilities available on the bus. That program was poorly funded, the bus often broke down, and usage was very low. Think they ended up doing away with the bus. The city of Atlanta eventually did get a new drivers license center and photo IDs are available free of charge to those who fill out an affidavit stating they cannot afford the ID fee.

It's difficult to know how much fraudulent voting takes place. I'd like it better if there were photo ID requirements in place but if we're going to do that, the process for obtaining such an ID must be made orders of magnitude easier. For those in rural areas, getting to the county seat can be a challenge. Polling places are much more widespread than locations to obtain photo IDs. The added requirements of the Patriot Act for government IDs likely has made this situation even worse.

Photo IDs are useful for many purposes beyond voting. I don't want to have a society in which one must carry a photo ID at all times but I'd also like to live in one where anyone can easily obtain one. Seems like this is the real problem that needs to be solved.
Do you mean to say it is impossible or do you mean something like the more idiomatic "by just anyone"?
I’m looking at the Boto3 docs. It looks like a “secret” is a single key where the value can be JSON text that is a key value pair. Parameter Store let’s you use do a simple key value pair. Am I missing something?
I have an ID. Last time I renewed it I specifically spurned the "Real ID" option. Which supposedly means I can't get on an airplane. I have since been on an airplane. But not one that required a loss of dignity.

I did not provide a driver license to my employer. I have worked legitimately for them every day for many years.

I did not provide a driver license to my ISP.

I can't fathom why my bank would need to know if I am allowed to drive. They do, however, have a legitimate reason for wanting my SSN.

This current year I have traveled across 4 states several times. Nobody asked me for my license. I've spent many thousands of dollars with retailers. I've stayed at multiple hotels. I've been to the airport a few times. And I've lived in the home that I own all year long. In none of these situations have I been asked for a driver license.

I have been asked for my driver license in what seemed odd circumstances. I gave them a puzzled look and declined the requests. Once or twice they persisted and I asked them why they needed to know if I was permitted to drive. They sputter something about their computer screen. I ask them if we can proceed if I don't have a license, and they eventually figure out how to do that. We complete our business; I get in my car and drive home.

Honestly, I wish people like you would put up a little more resistance. But I recognize your right to do whatever you want with your license.

> where you got your calories from will impact your health differently depending on whether it's a chocolate bar or an apple

Is there evidence that this is sufficiently impactful that it should be brought up? I.e., if a person is steadily losing weight, but eating not super healthy, should we tell them to stop?

Overweight people often already don't eat very nutritiously so I'm not sure if it's a large impact. Basically afraid of "perfect is the enemy of good" here. Obesity is a very dominating factor as far as unhealth goes, and many "unhealthy" foods are often marked so because they link back to obesity.
Grain farmer here:

> Farmers have historically benefited little from advancement in technology and this is no exception.

I think I have benefitted massively from technology. As a sixth generation farmer on my family's land, I expect I do not make any more money (inflation adjusted, of course) on the farm than my forefathers did. I believe this is where your concern lies.

However, they spent the entire year working on the farm. I can do all the work in a few weeks, thanks to technology. That also allows me to have a career in the tech industry. Being able to have everything they did and a tech salary is a huge gain!

> most farmers (I grew up on a small family farm) have little choice but to sell at the price the local market will give them

Western Canada, for instance, had a wheat/barley pool until a few years ago where you had to put your product – by law – into the pool and receive whatever price the pool was able to market your grain at. But these kind of programs are pretty much long gone in 2018. In America, which seems to be the main audience of HN, there was never such a thing. Subsidies are the preferred way to support farmers.

Not knowing where you are from, you may still have such a system, but generally that is not the case. For me, different buyers, even within the local market, will pay more or less depending on what they plan to do with the product, and will generally negotiate price. And, of course, I can ship my product outside of the local market if an even better deal is found elsewhere.

> Likewise they have to buy input goods (seed, fertilizer, breeding stock, etc.) at the price others choose.

This is the same as every other business in existence, however. All sales require negotiation. If the offer made by the seller is not acceptable to any buyers, the seller will make no sales and will be quickly compelled to reduce their next offer.

> I'm thankful for a fairly healthy (by comparison) tech market.

Uncompetitive is the word you are looking for, I believe. Everything you mentioned before is a result of farming being very competitive. I might even suggest the most competitive industry in the world. Tech is not very competitive, relatively speaking. When it comes to labour, there are not a lot of people to go around, and intellectual property laws limit how many vendors can offer the same product.
So, the premise is that all Liberals think this way, right?

It seems odd that Fox News keep returning to college campuses over and over and over to get quotes that are intended to represent the views of Liberals writ large.

I mean, they're in New York City, wouldn't it be simpler to go outside their office and interview some adults with jobs?

Trying to wrack my brain to figure out why they would keep talking to 18 year olds over and over again, hmm...
The computing power of a space shuttle is laughably tiny in comparison to an Arduino

Is that so? I'm actually surprised and yes I did not know this. Do you have something to read about that? Sounds interesting.
This is certainly evidence for the obvious point that structure matters.

But it is not evidence that size does not matter. There is a reason why the human cortex is 4X the size of a chimp's. Human IQ is correlated with brain size.

Density of connections also seems to matter.
because tribune media (who owns the paper) has 2b in annual revenue, and would make a great example case if the EU wants to test its ability to enforce the law against foreign companies.
Hey everyone! I built a web app that turns your smartphone into a 3D controller. No need to install a mobile or desktop app!
Hmm, this doesn't really verify it because the average person's kids might have been trained by now to react in a certain way after eating sugar. If you expect yourself to react a certain way after eating a food, you just might.

Similar to how a lot of kids are afraid of lightning because you are.
You should check out parser combinators. I've also used parser generators in the past and experienced similar frustrations. Parser combinators are just so much easier to use.
> Voting is a small one compared to the 2-party system

How exactly do you propose fixing a two party system without voting? The United States's first past the post voting system pretty much guarantees a two party system[1]. If you want to see a move to ranked choice voting or another system that would encourage third parties, then vote for candidates who are in favor of passing RCV laws and vote for ballot initiatives to pass RCV laws.

> Sure, you have a choice, but what value is that choice?

Clean air, clean water, a person's right to self-determination over what happens with their body, equal pay for equal work...I could go on for a while, but I don't think you're looking to be swayed.

Historical accounts are always biased, usually according to the political correctness of the time they were written. For example, the Founding Fathers went from hero to goat to hero to goat and are now morphing back to heroic status with the play "Hamilton".

Civil War heroes are goats today, even having their memorials removed.

Edison has gone from hero to goat. He'll be a hero again in a few decades.

It's the job of a professional historian to try and discern the truth from all this. But whatever truth there is in fiction is impossible to determine if you know nothing about history.
I'd have preferred improvements to OAuth, see: https://hueniverse.com/oauth-2-0-and-the-road-to-hell-8eec45... and https://vimeo.com/52882780
But kill NAFTA.

In the US there's really not any community of non-English speaking citizens, so whatever to your complaints about integration, the kids desperately want to integrate (and the parents usually agree).

And of course the whole thing where foreigners are scary is as much a modern panic as anything. In periods of pretty open immigration, lots of states didn't require citizenship to vote:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_foreigners_to_vote_in...
"Paranoid" being the operative word, since illegal immigrants -- who don't want surprise government attention -- are even less likely than everybody else to commit voter fraud. For them, it's a stupid and unnecessary risk for no tangible reward.
Calories are bad.

Sugar is very calorie dense.

Cool. Good luck with it. Interesting about the readline stuff. Can you share the link to the shell project? I'd like to look at the code, with a view to learning something about the techniques involved, as command-line tools and shells is an interest of mine.
Aha, one more bit of indirection ala OpenID v1 to make the base identity portable. I like it. Thanks for the link!
I think university experiences are bi-modal. If you're going to an essentially unranked university with very poor professors/a non-existent graduate program, you'd probably be better off going to community college and saving an order of magnitude in tuition. On the other hand if you're going to a, say, top-25 school, the price tag is probably worth it and opens the door to graduate schools and research mentorship that you can't find anywhere else.
A lot of things wrong with your arguments. When you say correctness, you are pushing for a specific method for reducing amount of problems caused by defects, while these problems is what we actually care about when we talk about reliability, not defects, not bugs, not correctness. Yours is just one such method, and one of the expensive ones. This is very important distinction if you want to understand why "proving correctness" cannot get anywhere. For a lot of software even if we need reliability there simply exist more objectively better ways to achieve it.

Business is another thing, nobody convinced them to go along with anything, it's the other way around. Incentives to produce software the way it is produced actually come from businesses as they are the ones paying for it. Engineers just go along with it.

I get that software industry is very dogmatic and it's hard to see things for what they are. But we should at least try.
they're really not insane, especially if you're enjoying what you're doing and being compensated for it.

You mention "URL (or email)", so I think it is worth pointing out that there is a standardized way of converting an email address into an HTTP URL, namely WebFinger.

I'm going to graduate with a BS in mechanical engineering next year. I really want to work in tech because I hate the work culture of the $bigcorps I've interned at.

These are the same people who overpay for BTC and, if I remember an HN article from a little while ago, have "death ceremonies" where their employees are made to imagine their own deaths to prove loyalty to the company.

> GDPR only applies to foreign companies targeting the EU.

Why do you believe this?

From the text:

> This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union, where the processing activities are related to: [...] the offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union [0]

There is no targeting required - it is enough that EU "citizens" consume a service.

Well, your average clothes-or-shoes store isn't sited, controlled, and operated by a partisan political party trying to actively sabotage certain groups to prevent them from voting.

> It is way more complicated than that. The body autonomously regulates the amount of calories that you eat. For example when you exercise more studies show people will eat almost exactly an extra amount of food equalent to the calories exercised.

Honestly, this article seems like a very silly argument. Why would you want to push yourself in a bubble - you become enormously successful, and forget the pain and suffering that everyone else in the real world is going through?

Facebook is meant to connect people. That clearly wasn't the intention when it was created, but that's the direction that lots of people brought it together to try to create.

To be angry at posters whose intent is to bring about egalitarian ideals - I mean - I don't get that. That's the same of what Soviet propaganda wound up doing. And who do we have as a result - Putin? Give me a break.

The key component with any art, with any system, is understanding your own relation in the system. None of us are perfect. Society may reward us with the riches kings of the last century would slaughter whole populations for - but you don't have to be one of those people.

These are not microaggressions to a predominantly white, affluent, male population. These are people crying out 'let me be free - like you'. The fact that they have to package it up in some way that leads to non-offense is offensive.

Why does feminism and equal rights bother SV so much? Why does being aware of real chaos, real unfairness in the world bother people who work on computation so much? These problems aren't going away. People are treated like shit, they are murdered, tortured, spoken ill of for generations - all because of some idiotic, collected measurement - some group of people decided was standard.

Art cries out when people are no longer allowed to. Why isn't this obvious? It's scary? It's hostile? Is anyone even thinking of what these actual people go through, what they live with, what terror they face - every single day?

That's fucking sad and terribly ironic. We are so tied into 'our moment', 'our impulse' that we lose empathy for real people. Facebook. A place to connect people.

I don't see any actual posters on this publication. But honestly, this complaining is ridiculous. How sensitive can you be to work in your perfect ideal environment that you directed yourself towards, you planned for, you created - and you can't deal with a poster saying 'don't forget the little people?'

That's sad. If you want to understand why communism made sense to people, it's because there was extreme imbalance. You give your data away every time you interact with something that isn't you. Why do you think you have any more security than a Jew in the Holocaust, a Muslim during 9/11? Just... Why do you act on that fear to secure yourself for life, when you've likely never been discriminated against to that level? Why does it hurt you to have to know that people in the world literally go through this?

I'm not speaking directly to you, btw. I don't have proof your thoughts align with this publication. That's what cleaves the essence of discrimination.
If URLs are to be used for user IDs, it'd make sense to require TLS, so we can remove the scheme from the IDs, so it's more memorable.

Also the mockups are really confusing, you're logging in with a URL, not a "domain". Also, having the example text as "you.domain.com" would confuse users who have "github.com/user", as used in the previous examples.
Not really many studies have shown that after 35 / 40 hours of work in a week has negative effects. maybe like Japan Korea has a presentism problem ie people stretch out work or bike shed to look good.

Anyone who has pulled an all nighter knows that after about 36 hours awake you start to see things and can make serious mistakes.
It seems that in the US that having to pay more for overtime is hurting people more than it helps them at this point. Especially people on the lower end of the wage scale. If you want/need to work more then usually you have too have two jobs with all the extra commuting and scheduling. It would be better if people could work 60hr for one employer instead of two.
