There’s a difference between reckless driving/cycling and running a red light. There are in fact many ways to safely or unsafely do so for both types of vehicles. This needs to be acknowledged first, because there are situations where it’s actually safer (getting out of the way of aggro drivers just as the light turns) or necessary (lights only triggered by sensor that doesn’t pick up a bike).

The quote doesn't seem even slightly remarkably contentious or incendiary, but you've somehow managed to make some sort of value statement about what was said and immediately made the association that the writer is rationalizing hatred for stating a pretty tame quantitative opinion.

You've also described the quote as a 'reductionist view of the issue'. What issue? The decentralized archiving of content that some in a specific group of a certain segment of online denizens have deemed objectionable? Isn't this just proving exactly the point of the quote you're taking issue with? Where is the rationalization?

How did you come to this conclusion? I'm curious what that logic ladder may look like.
His outrage may have been manufactured, but his listeners and detractors take him seriously, so I don't believe the reaction to his content counts as outrage culture.
As a US citizen I am the biggest hypocrite when it comes to cyclists/pedestrians in the road. When in a car I think "They'll get out of my way, I'll win in a fight" while riding a bicycle I think "What are they going to do? Hit me".
Where do you live that things aren’t sugary? Because they sure are in Denmark. When I grew up, the most sugary “pre-made food” you could buy at a supermarket was Coca Cola, today it’s one of the least sugary “pre-made foods” because it’s limited by law.

The lowest amount of sugar in another drink that isn’t diet skim-milk or water is orange juice with 11-15% sugar.

We have ryebread which isn’t too bad, but the last time I was buying buns for burgers the lowest amount of sugar I could find were 10% in some gluten-free-eco-health buns.

Even candy has increased its sugar content by around 30% over the past 25 years.

It’s really crazy, but you’re right in that it’s way worse in America.
It really depends on the API. For stuff that is likely to change it makes sense to abstract away the API calls. eg either because the API provider likes to break stuff or because you need your code to be agnostic towards that particular library eg for portability reasons. But that isn't always a concern and if you're abstracting away an API just for the sake of it then you'll have to question whether you're adding unnecessary complexity and overhead just for the sake of perceived modularity.

Like everything in software development, it's about evaluating the right methodologies for the problems rather than hitting every screw with the same hammer.

I believe the sense of entitlement to come from the fact that most drivers have only ever experienced the road in a car. As a driver and a cyclist, I'm not sure about registration of cyclists, but I am sure that everyone should be required to do a minimum number of hours on a bicycle before they are allowed anywhere near a car, in the same way that pilots must gain experience before they upgrade. I am certain this would have numerous benefits.
Of course the risk is taken into account but in the end, if you hurt someone while driving or cycling drunk, you have thoroughly demonstrated your lack of understanding of traffic rules and shouldn't handle a car.
I think most people associate "physical exercise" with having to spend an hour at the gym or something similar.

What they should be thinking is: going for a walk around the block, not getting the car for close by errands, not taking the elevator, going for a bike ride, etc
A great many successful tech companies can be described in terms of more consumer-friendly Unix tools.

Slack has the better part of a billion dollars in funding for what's essentially resource-hungry IRC with pictures. Dropbox does little you couldn't accomplish with a server and rsync.

What I'm really eager to see is git for everyone else.
“My professional opinion is that if we actually want to test which of these hypotheses is true, we need more data—and it should be combining archaeological, climatic, and genetic—and it needs to be systematic,” she said. “At the moment we are forced to cobble together puzzle pieces from disparate sources and there isn’t congruity between methods used at various sites, so it’s hard to say what is really comparable and what isn’t.”

Good luck getting the genetic data. A lot of tribes in the US have been taken advantage of by universities to get grant money with no real benefit for the tribe. Some tribes have even gone so far to restrict research data. One reason I use tarsnap is that the encrypted locally data complies with the local tribal resolutions on data sharing.

> For a middle developer position, you may be around 40K euros

I won't get into details here but 40k€ before taxes ("brut") for a developer between junior and senior is not considered that good in Paris anymore. It would have been decent 8 years ago but wages went up with the increase in demand. Of course it depends on skills, position, stack, etc...

That being said, you will almost always make more money working as a freelancer, and you will definitely make more working remotely for a California-based startup (which may be difficult because of French employment laws but is still definitely possible).
And it getting out of sync with reality. Metadata on the files seems much better.
Then use git-annex, which has had that for years :)
I'm confused as to why you're reacting so hostilely.

> My point is more about how do you equate the level of difficulty of 700 glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice to software or anything else? At what point are you just a lying?

Who's equating the difficulty of the contrived example to anything else? Beyond equating them both as something that's difficult but not impossible?

I don't know your background but I'd imagine you might be able to understand, or know, that migrating a company, or even a small group or a single person, from one software system to another is often a difficult project. I can certainly appreciate the advice to immediately dismiss anyone from consideration for helping me with such a project if they tell me that the migration is either 'impossible' or 'easy'.
The process of Booth Capturing happened during the ballot, not the counting. It was actually a very serious problem of rigging which vanished after the introduction of EVMs

Before the introduction of EVMs, there was a massive problem of "Illegal Votes" due to illiteracy (for most part). That vanished to because pressing buttons is absolute and intuitive.

I get where you are coming from though. Ideally, civilized behavior and rule of law should reign supreme, but a populace cannot be educated and society reformed with a single button. And we cannot forsake democracy "until the rule of law reigns us". We must find the middle ground

There were impeding cases of rigging with paper ballots anyway and people did not trust the people who counted during the paper ballot time. Everything's the same. Now people do not trust the machines.
Show HN: Stackdraft – create and present 3D cloud architecture diagrams
Parker Solar Probe: Nasa's daring mission to unlock Sun's mysteries
The Enigma of AI and Cybersecurity
Hi all,

This is my very first post on HackerNews, although I’ve been a silent follower of this amazing, diverse community for years now.

My name is Michał Karnicki and I wanted to share what I've spent the last 6 months on, days and nights, and most of my savings. I'm equally excited and nervous to share it with you all :)!
Stackdraft is a fully bootstrapped project.

The longer version of this story is actually available on the Pricing page, so I'll keep it short and sweet. Stackdraft allows you to create AND present 3D cloud architecture diagrams. You're not fixed to a single cloud provider or the isometric projection. It currently support AWS, GCP and DigitalOcean icon sets, but I have plans for more fancy 3D models as well, besides other things I mention on the website. Inspired by both the good sides and limitations of other diagramming solutions, I decided to try create my own. And that's how Stackdraft was born.

Stackdraft is in Beta, that's why there's an Early Adopters plan on the pricing page. I'm hoping to get some initial users seriously interested in the project as a tool for their work, close registration (so I'm not overwhelmed - haha I wish, eh ;)?), and use the feedback from them to polish the tool. If you're interested in cloud architectures, please help me shape the future of Stackdraft and consider subscribing - there's 14 day trial, 30 day money back guarantee, and it currently costs a BigMac set per month :).

There is a famous quote by Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn: If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late.

So here I am! More than happy to answer your questions :). Thank you for checking out Stackdraft!
It's a catering company, they are going to drive down to 7/11 and pick up enough random people milling around out front. If they're lucky they will get minimum wage, but at least it will all be cash.

A few things -

1. In order to achieve this functionality, the app explicitly requires permission to receive SMS [1] [2]

2. I agree that the general population likely isn't fully aware of the implications of granting permissions for such things. Having said that, I think that privacy/security/transparency is one of the things constantly being worked on with subsequent Android OS updates [3] [4], and I think that things are getting better.

Personally, I don't grant access to sensors like microphone/camera/location to apps that I don't want using them (most apps), and I think people should be aware of potential hazards here. Then again, people are openly inviting Amazon Alexa and Google Home into their homes ...

On the other hand, as a developer I like having the ability to build this, for me, and potentially for others who find use for what I wrote, with full transparency/visibility into the source.

Well someone is going to decide the food environment.

Should be it be private companies, who deliver the "tastiest" food, to maximize profit, or should it be government with their well-meaning but wrong pronouncements?

Given we still don't know for sure what the health recommendations should be (which I think is largely why govt advice is wrong), I would plump (ahem) for well-meaning.

A driving ban because if you endanger traffic while drunk then how can we trust you not to endanger traffic while drunk when you're allowed to drive a car?

You don't get a cyclist ban, to my knowledge, since it isn't licensed. This is mostly about deriving how responsible you are with a car from how responsible you behave in traffic when you're not a car.
RFQ on a data protection policy for contractors?
Yes but being a human they already have a pretty good idea what might be funny for the audience they want to perfmorm for.

So basically I think a computer would need a lot more trial and error than the human does, and I’m not sure a good way to allow for that magnitude of trial and error without having some other computer that has a sense of humor be the judge.
Yes, on file hashes for rename detection:

It prevents a whole lot of pipeline and concurrency optimizations since it forces you to rehash every file in the change set, before your rename detection algorithm can kick in.

For example, if a user renames a root folder with tens of thousands of descendants, then the hash approach would have poor time-to-first-change-synced latency.

Furthermore, relying on file hashes won't actually work.

A user could have done both a RENAME and UPDATE on the file, since the sync app last ran (you need scanning logic for this, and can't rely solely on inotify). To survive a RENAME and UPDATE, you would then need to compare partial file hashes. But again, it affects latency too much.

If a car rolls through a stop sign they're being an asshole who thinks they know more than the people who made the laws and have little respect for anyone around them.

The same is true of bicyclists who do the same.

I have never driven a car in my life (age 35 currently) despite growing up in a very rural area. Now I live in a city and bike everywhere and NEVER run a stop sign. The behavior of both drivers and bicyclists is embarrassing.

Ok, so a lot of people here are comparing the french Startup scene to what it was before. I understand why, but it's misleading.

Yes, compared to what it was before, it's booming. But it was ridiculously bad before.

However compared to what's happening in the US, it's still lagging.

Innovation is alright, however investment and risk taking are nowhere close to the American standard. It's still very meh.

The culture of flexibility is starting to sink in, but again, you will face the french "lutte des classes" legacy, with old style hierarchies and management structures.

And of course, even including social benefits, the salary is 2 to 3 times less than in the valley. But they will publish crazy requirements in job offers.

On the other hand, working in France is sweet. Paris is great city, and the life style is super nice. And while French people can have a pretty negative attitude, they won't tell you everything is ok or doable before even checking they can, or be artificially friendly to the point it's weird. All in all, it's a lot less pressure.

Best bet is to actually live in France, but remotely work for an American company.

Plus you can buy actual tomatoes and not red plastic balls.
Yes, but it's kinda ugly for regular Joe user. You'll have to know how to manage it: fragmentation, setting initial size and resizing, trimming, how to automate activating and mounting it. Etc.
The CDC graph really confuses me. 40% of US men are overweight, 35% are obese, 5% are extremely obese. If I add that up, 80% of American men are overweight. Maybe it is because I live in Los Angeles, and it is really hard to believe that 80% of American men are overweight.

Really, 4 out of 5? I get that other parts of the country are different, but I also think BMI is a really crude tool that paints some healthy people as weighing more than they should for their height. But it can be muscle, it can be body type, etc.
Sure you can curl a data end point and then parse the resulting JSON/XML using regexes, cut, tr in bash+awk+sed, but your code will break even on a slight change of output rendered.

These sort of things are just the beginning. People will be surprised how hard it is to parse something like a csv.

You start to begin discovering limits when you start doing things like error handling. Writing slightly complicated regexes, or if you need a little complicated code written relying on if/for more often.

More everyday use cases that come to my mind are use of things like Data::Dumper, qw, open/while<>/close paradigm code, arrays, hashmaps, grepping over large lists, unicode, heredocs, handling binary data etc.

Nothing to take away from Bash. But its really to glue together a small bunch of unix commands in progression. If you are doing anything more than a 100 line program, you are better off with Perl.
I would argue, though, that having some people actually taking it seriously and starting an implementation of that is awesome, part of the joke, and certainly sometimes even the source of some really cool stuff.
No: people radicalise by contact with other radical people, not by being isolated.

By your definition of nationalism, Europe is simply replacing French/German/etc nationalism with EU nationalism.

The EU already has a parliament, "federal" laws, and a single currency. They're building an EU army and discussing federal taxes. At what point do you call them a nation?
I think what's annoying many here is not that they disagree with you. It's that they agree with you but don't like his strategy for finding out if the counterpart is this way. Putting people through tests is not negotiating, and it sounds like he thinks it is.

Look at it from a hotel manager's perspective. Let's say he normally is willing to negotiate, so he'd want to say "That is difficult because of X - would you consider Y instead?" But he's also wise enough to see he is being tested, and is this is triggering all types of alarms in his head. He's had his own repertoire of bad clients, and so instead of negotiating, he'll put him through his own tests. He'll just say "No" and see if the client is willing to negotiate or is adamant, and see if the client fails the test.

I'm not in the business so I can't say for sure. Sitting here, I find it to be a poor assumption to assume the client has the upper hand (because he has business to offer and money in hand) over the hotel manager - and this person comes off as assuming as much. Consider that the hotel manager may have other options, or that this type of a deal is a net negative for him (even if the hotel is well compensated for this, there are non-financial costs).
Giving up your lunch break (emphasis on break) from work to carry on working is in the same ballpark.
Exactly. American diet is excessive is people try to fix that by switching another excessive diet. Eat less, eat better foods. It's that simole. You don't need a fancy diet with a name.
>A variety of healthier foods — especially fruits and vegetables — also need to be made more affordable and readily available to Americans.

I was looking for this uninformed and incorrect statement.

"Junk Food" and Fast food tends to be between 100-300 Calories Per Dollar. Fresh Fruit and Vegetables are in this same range.

This doesnt include that homecooked meals are 200-300% cheaper than junk food. A meal with Chicken Rice and Veggies are closer to 600-700 calories per dollar and have protein and nutrients.

There is obviously a time aspect, but that isnt what is discussed in the quote.

I'm interested to see how VR affects overall mental health among gamers. There seems to be some crossover between heavy duty gamers and mental health struggles (just from my own observation) and VR is starting to be a natural progression for gaming. And VR gaming is often a real work-out, focusing on a lot of movement as well as physical dexterity.
Seems ludicrous when XFS is the default file system for RHEL.
"Encourage" is a tremendously loaded word here, since you're making it sound like someone's trying to get them to try heroin, while a more neutral presentation would be "receive medical treatment prescribed by doctor in response to their psychological distress".

> oppresses people who are just trying to raise their children how they see fit.

I usually see this phrase in the context of people opposed to bans on smacking children...

(I don't think either counts as hate speech as written, BTW, but similar things phrased more vehemently in a different context might.)
Yes and it is kinda annoying if there's only one country which doesn't want to adopt English, forcing everyone to learn their language ;-)

So it is just a matter of perspective. I wonder how the chinese see that picture.
Agreed for most people with mild-moderate mental illness. It's an intervention that can reduce intensity for quite a number of people, though not everyone. (I wish more people would also get checked early on for easily fixed metabolic stuff like low iron, wonky thyroid etc.)

My completely anecdotal example... it kept me from starting crazy meds for at least an extra year or two (by the time I was up to 1-2 hours, 7d/week, it was time to bite the bullet.. though at lower doses than I likely would have otherwise needed.
Just a comment but 30k for 2 years full experience seems low. I'm working in another European capital and I'm at 40k for a similar full-stack dev role.
