"What makes you think the problems of immigration are not just Trumped up (heh) " - what do you mean?
Certainly most people who own houses in the suburbs have been aware for many years that some of the problems with illegal immigration are making for an uneven playing field for small business and average workers. I'm not sure if city living folks are as exposed to the business dealings in the same way.
In what ways "very hierarchy and filthy-rich class... of people that has steadily been fucking over the lower- and middle class,"
In what ways do you mean? My only guess is you mean the wealthy have convinced both democrats and republicans for years to avoid minimum wage increases that match living wages?

"filthy-rich class (that your president represents)" - If you mean he represents the rich because he used similar methods to get rich in the past, okay - like a token symbol? IF you mean he represents them in his current government role, I think you are wrong. I think many of his policies are very contradictory to what the wealthy wanted. From replacing O-care to the illegal immigration enforcement, these issues are things most of the wealthy have been against from what I understand.

Scapegoating as a tactic for either side is annoying.

When you say "evidence that immigration is terrible", please understand some in the US are rallying for complete open borders, most are saying legal immigration is not terrible, it's good for the country, and we want the process to be better. A small few are against immigration, however it appears that certain media outlets and those who want to change the course of democrat vs republican want people to think that enforcing the laws that have been on the books for years means people are evil, racist, and want no one to enter the country.

Both sides are saying different things about the same thing. It appears the republicans / conservatives are listening the to media and social justice warriors, hearing what they are saying.

Stronger elements of socialism? Europe style? What do you mean? Work or don't work, we've tried more and less feed stamps, rent vouchers, healthcare things for the whole country and state by state these things have varied and swung a bit one way and then the other. So yes there is a lot in between.

I don't think most of those things are going to make much difference with the rich vs poor actually. I do envy some of the programs I have read about in the UK and other countries that are close, but the populations here are very different, and country wide things are major.

One of the things that actually is working to put pressure on wealthy to put more money in the pockets of the lower and middle class is limiting the amount of readily available people who will work and live illegally.

You say "your president" and then later say "we should go for" - so I am confused as to whether you are outside the US or in it.

There are many pieces to these complex issues, what works in Detroit is not going to work in Burbank. Scapegoating a person or class you don't like is not helping to put facts on the table, just appealing to emotions and encouraging others to buy into the group feels.
On Android Firefox, I always install Ublock Origin. It makes web browsable on mobile without killing the machine.

I have varying level of success installing other addons. For example, Tab Count addon works. I can install LastPass on mobile but there is no way to use it as it goes blank on login screen. I assume that, mostly the developers are not aware that the addon may be used on mobile too.

For those who are wondering why I would need a Tab Count extension on Android Firefox, when the tab count exceeds 99, the ui shows an infinity symbol. Yes, I have that many tabs, I had more than 200 tabs open at one point and android firefox kept chugging along like it was nothing. I am trying to reduce the count for my own sanity. Currently, tamed it to a more docile 44.
> We'd probably have more then zero people on the moon today.

Unfortunately the opposite could also be true - loss of interest to space research, because, hey, they don't make anything perceivable...

In the awesome game "Bazz Aldrin's Race Into Space" if both (human) players try to perfect the technology, to avoid costly failures with human flights and stop flying for a while, at some point budgets get slashed and the game stops. I suspect it could be a possibility in the real world. Fortunately, by now we both depend on space enough and have enough technology to keep flying.
Democracy is hardly democratic anymore. It is mostly just a show. Votes don't seem to matter. Trump won the vote, putin won the vote.

WOW... no wonder there are so many AI startups working on translation.

I thought Google Translate uses AI now fairly perfectly.

Why is anyone paying a human translator $40/page when Google Translate is "free"?

> C++ developers use shared_ptr almost everywhere

shared_ptr is rare in idiomatic C++ code, and is only used when you actually have a shared object, or need a cyclic data structure with no clearly identified root. I wrote plenty of modern C++ with not a single shared_ptr in it.

A biologist who believes that trees speak a language we can learn to listen to
There were recently a discussion about NASA insisting in loading propellants when crew is already onboard, and opponents pointing out that it increases the duration of crew sitting in the capsule during a dangerous process of fueling.

It could be a lot of consideration, but if some important area is overlooked, then it's no guarantee safety will improve over some threshold.

Similarly in Russian Soyuz-2 rocket the 2.1b variant adds about 10% of payload - but uses a much more stressed engine on the upper stage. That's the reason Russians don't want to use that variant for manned flights - even though there were lots of flights and rockets with engines like that certified for manned flights.

Later in the article ... "the White House later conceded that they hung the banner but still insists it had been done at the request of the crew members"

He stood in front of a banner put up by the White House saying "Mission Accomplished" and claimed victory. He did not clarify that the huge banner behind him was about the crew's mission and not Iraq. It is legitimate to say that Bush proclaimed it, and pedantic to argue he did not speak the words.

Nationalistic socialist regimes almost always poison the ground beneath themselves. Especially when they try to confiscate and nationalize major sectors of their economies. The history of the last century is so replete with instances of this being attempted and going disastrously wrong.

I don't use BTC much these days, but if you're paying $1.39 for an ETH transaction you're most certainly paying too much.

The StdCost right now is a dime. You can get away with less if you're willing to wait for confirmation (which is possible if you're transacting locally with neighbors).

Conversely, it's amazing just how many possibilities opened up once it became cheap and scalable.

Ditto with aluminum, perhaps even more so.
There are plenty of situations when the human sense of nuance and appropriateness is absolutely necessary. Translation of legal documents is at the extreme end of this (for example, when my Brazilian wife had to translate her university diploma into English upon moving to Sweden.)

If you just need to get the basic gist of something in a different language, then machine translation is obviously more performant.
It's awesome to see that even Hacker News isn't immune to transphobia and falling into the lie that being transgender is ignoring biology. What a load of trash.

I looked up the author, and discovered that Libby Emmons is a transphobe (or more accurately a trans-exclusionary radical feminist), at least from reading this one in which she tries to posit that trans women are just in it because we're objectifying misogynistic parodies of women. Great. http://thefederalist.com/2015/06/03/how-the-hypersexual-tran... (check out that weak attempt to reference Kant's thing in itself near the end and how it completely misses the point that it is non-physical- which is exactly what gender is insisted to be by many trans people)
My point to the second poster above (jerkstate), supporting nkozyra says, is that what the jerkstate above says about italian facism, much like soviet communism was far away from it's goals and claims. Both govts, who fought against each other during ww2 of course, murdered and oppressed and killed thousands (or was it millions in italy?) and definitely millions in the ussr. There were very few people in those countries whose lives ended up being well treated and having freedom until the govts were destroyed. The vast majority had a negative experience. By only listing the top level goals of how italian fascism would work and listing none of the horrible negatives you are making at least a confusing and misleading point. Could it have meant to be irony? Those who rightly point out the problems of US society, like jim crow repression of blacks, genocide toward native americans should also talk about how we had ideals, yet we couldn't fix slavery without a civil war, we still struggle today to deal with oppression of minorities, but we also have high ideals about how people should be treated. But if you just gave the decl. of independence and compared it to those fascist ideals, well you'd be incredibly misleading in the reality of the countries and I found your comments incredibly misleading.

Please forgive my generalizing, but there aren't a lot of specifics to work with.

Scope creep is often a major factor in situations like this. In my experience product people usually believe that relatively small feature changes imply relatively small engineering effort, and of course that doesn't hold generally.

Sometimes product people will try to sneak scope creep by as a "clarification" of requirements, which almost always leads to the situation you're in.

So, depending on your environment, it may be constructive to draw attention to this, if it's applicable.
I share the absolutely same behavior. Just because I added your app to my phone doesn’t mean you’ve earned the right to steal my attention any time you want. Increasingly, notifications are becoming more opaque about what action, if any, triggered the notification. “New message from Ann: How’s work?” Becomes “You have messages”. Nothing happening to you directly, let’s notify you anyway: “Bob and Jill added to their stories”, “Sammy logged a run, give her kudos!”. Not using yelp enough? “Check our this new brunch place [that’s paying us to advertise to you]”.

This isn’t adding value to my life. Notifications are an infestation of advertising into every untouched aspect of our personal lives. If I turn them off, I get fewer ads. If I get fewer ads, I’m less inclined to consume and waste money on things I never needed, and save that money for the stuff I care about.
I'm OK with giant tech companies. America isn't the only place in the world and doesn't hold a monopoly on tech. If it's not American tech giants, it'll be Chinese or some other countries tech giants.
Because even Google and Microsoft's translation service isn't really that good, if you want an idiomatic and context-sensitive translation. I'm only involved in some efforts trying to use these services for real-time text translation for IT helpdesk solutions, where results are... mixed, but close enough to usable, depending on the language, but I can easily imagine that for other domains you would definitely want a real person who could evaluate the nuances.

Google Translate still gets a lot wrong. It's good enough to understand if you just need to translate foreign language text to something you understand. But for professional documents it's nowhere near adequate.

Another point is it misses a lot of context. My girlfriend is fluent in English and Chinese and has an Art History degree. That domain knowledge makes her quite valuable as a translator for Chinese galleries. There's quite a lot of research involved when she does a translation to find the correct terms for techniques, mediums, styles. Translation is more difficult than it would seem on the surface.
Really I was making a point about the definition of fascism and how it's mis-applied these days. But if you want to talk about how it has been executed, history shows us when people cede so many of their natural rights to the state, even for good causes or causes that sound good, it's just a matter of time before those powers granted to the state by its people are abused by agents of the state.
Google Translate is good for like, high school language elective level translations. For a personal use (e.g. buying from a Spanish website) this is more than sufficient. However it is still very easy to tell machine translated text from professionally done work.
Recently reddit has also started making its official app generate links to posts via the domain "reddit.app.link", instead of normal reddit.com urls. These new links automatically send everyone on mobile to the app store to download the official app, even if they clicked from inside a third-party app.

As far as I can tell, the only way to make the links work on mobile is to install the official app (once you do, they'll open the linked post inside it).

The problem with this idea, to put in terms of the main article, is that it raises Red Flag #1.

It may be a great way to learn, but I think that is better achieved with something like Google's famous 20% program not some vague rewrite attempt with no direction.
About a decade ago I incurred a deep slice on my finger working with sheet metal. I had heard of using honey as a topical antibiotic and decided to use that over something like Neosporin. It worked great - my finger did not get infected. However it was difficult to keep on the wound and somewhat messy.
I'll never forget the first time I drove in Boston as a teenager. I came up to a forest of stoplights, some red some green hanging haphazardly at an intersection of seven streets, and my burning question was: which one is mine? I went when the driver behind me started honking.

It can depend on the contents of the registry and who depends on that information. For example, with a list of top 100 colleges, readers might use it to decide which colleges to go to. And hence, writers would be incentivized to submit their own college to the list.

A better, but less mainstream-relatable example is a list of ERC-20 smart contract addresses.
I think the question is, how does one distinguish the claims above from the claims described in the article, such as "it was surmised that if he had eaten breakfast before picking up the scalpel, the food would have absorbed any poison attending the corpse"?

IMHO the article disagrees with the parent; the article refers to honey as a relic of medical practices of Ancient Greece; I'd bet ours are far more effective. The article supports the idea that scientific method, publicly reproducible empirical evidence, is the tool to separate bad ideas from good, superstition from fact.

Why hasn't some cryptocurrency replaced the bolívar as the unit of currency for most private transactions in Venezuela?

Given the Venezuelan government's poor economic management and tight restrictions on foreign exchange transactions, if cryptocurrency was going to overthrow fiat currency anywhere it should be in Venezuela.

Slow down, "de facto world currency" and "most banks" is somewhat exaggerated.

The dollar is still a very strong currency and in many areas the leader, but it is still not the world currency. Equally, banks do offer sometimes accounts denominated in USD but this applies mostly to larger banks, is typically a special kind of package, and is a classic foreign currency account you can open for GBP, EUR, SGD, and many other currencies too.

You actually can, there is some ways you can do it:

1. Sellers of "normal" stuff will take USD if you "deal" with them, for example if you need to buy a motherboard, most likely the seller will instantly say yes to an USD offer before getting paid in VEF because the money wont get devaluated in USD, if you check mercadolibre.com.ve (ebay equivalent in venezuela) you can see alot of people offering USD.

2. USD is used for properties such as cars, houses, land, etc. If you want to purchase/sell some of theses you pretty much have to pay/get paid in USD, not in VEF. Of course this is because devaluation is so big that if you sell something in VEF next day you can just lose 5% out of nowhere.

3. If you own a USD debit or credit card, you can use it within Venezuela payment networks, you just wont get the black market rate, you will get the dicom rate that is currently 119.850,00 VEF per 1 usd.. while the black market rate is around 3.200.000 VEF per 1 usd, so you definetely can, just that you wont get a good rate.

And last, it takes some 10 minutes or less to deal exchange of VEF to USD at black market rates, you just need to have the most minimal social interaction, as everyone has friends, family, acquaintances, coworkers, etc who is changing this, it's just such a natural thing to do, dont let the name of "black market" make you think that is some shaddy thing that you need to do where you risk your life, its just some natural exchange of currency that most venezuelans know how to deal with.

Gotcha. Yeah it would seem pretty easy for content blockers to add these banners to their blocking list.

It would be most useful to do this in a dynamic way though. I might actually want to know that examplewebsite.com has an app that I could download. But once I've gone to that site 5 times, then the banner should be hidden. Either I don't want the app, or I've already downloaded it. Unfortunately, I don't think content blockers can include any logic like this.
