I'm unsure how we can argue this any further. You're arguing "what supports the existence of the concept of citizenship and a sovereign nation". That is the legal framework (across nations) we've agreed upon.
> Overeating is not interesting. The reason people do overeat is very interesting

What if it's not. What if people just overeat because life is boring, and food tastes good, and we all have differing levels of willpower & education on nutrition?

> if you hit the literature you find that this is largely driven by damage to the hypothalamus by environmental exposure.

Sounds like nonsense, can you elaborate?
Cool idea Martin, thinking the same. I know some founders who may be interested in this. Feel free to email me at:

Is advertising cannabis legal in anywhere in the US? I haven't spent much time in the states where pot is legal but I certainly haven't seen any. Contrast this to traveling in Germany where the cigarette ads shocked me as an American - it felt so backwards.
In the long term, Cisco needs to be competitive in the global marketplace to survive. When you force companies like Cisco to pay above market rates, it benefits American workers in the short term but over time the company will lose to e.g. Huawei who are operating in a much more favourable regulatory environment. At that point, America loses in a big way.
This is nonsense. The healthiest populations in the world eat large volumes of carbs and have for millenia. Lumping all carbohydrates under the bucket term "carbs" makes as much sense as lumping all drugs under a single term.

Eating complex, unrefined carbs is overall the healthiest way to get the calories you need to keep your body fueled.
Stuff like this makes me feel better about focusing on Ansible Container instead of Docker. You can use it to create multiple different types of containers without being married to Docker itself.

Years ago I spent a lot of time trying to convince some of our large bank customers that we could run their stuff on Windows NT instead of SunOS or AUX or whatever by noting that microsoft.com ran on NT. I'm not even sure if it was actually true at the time, now that I think about it.

Put /people/ first (and by proxy also the environment; because people need it); then require the companies to treat all employees equally.

Add a tax on any imports that do NOT put people first, but use the proceeds to fund efforts to improve the lives of all.
My tinfoil hat theory is that the people up top know if they allow stuff like this to happen just frequently enough that the people who care about civil liberties are well aware of it and the general public isn't that that will keep the civil liberties crowd from standing up for their rights and getting the general public to do the same but not so frequently that politicians get interested in cleaning them up. It's like the ATF, they just keep the terribleness at a low simmer and nobody cares.
That's only because the domain is multi-dimensional, while the range is the domain of just the first argument.

We can fold the input into S. That is to say, the input is just an aspect of the state of the word, and then we can reduce f(S, i) to just f(S), so then we have f(f(S)) = f(S).
> Actually US citizens can legally perform arrests...

And in doing so, they are acting as self-deputized agents of the state. They're temporarily "arming" themselves with the state's power to use violence in furtherance of its (legitimate) interests in enforcing its laws. They could not legally do that without the state's sanction.

EDIT: Some countries don't even limit the power of "citizen's arrest" to their own citizens. The UK's relevant statute specifically says "any person", emphasis added, may act thusly.

I mean, I only recommend that someone do this when a company does something as immoral as demanding your previous salary and trying to use it as a negotiation advantage.

Companies shouldn't be doing that, and if they do, well they deserve every tactic to fight right back at them.
The last company I worked at used Jenkins for all cron jobs. It has great reporting, supports complex jobs, has a million plugins. It worked really great.
I thought the same way until I worked with lots of types of people. The vast majority seem to much prefer BS, even blatant BS to honesty that is even the least bit blunt. I think part of it is that since everyone exaggerates, actual blunt truths are assumed to also be a positive spin, which would put their reality in the toilet.

If this was the only thing it would have gone offshore more than a decade ago. The reason is hasn't gone offshore is because the results are terrible for a number of reasons, with precious few success stories. It is a tried and failed technique to cut software costs.

When things got stressful at college, I started smoking cannabis occasionally. It was really liberating to my overall mental well-being. It was great for stress, and made me feel wonderful, and it severely dulled the anxiety I felt in creatively expressing large technical concepts - both in class assignments and at a college job.

Then I went to the mall high with a sober friend - and had to keep him from getting distracted in stores and keep him on track to buy the item we needed. That's when I realized I was High-functioning. (True stories.)

It's true, there aren't any that I've seen that are more turnkey, but that's not self hosting.

I'm thinking something like Medium, where you enter your name/contact info etc... on one page and a CC and that's it.

A back end process registers the URL/whois, sets up a cloud host account, pushes a default package to the host (maybe even WP), then sends your email the key/login for the front end and the cloud host login.

So it's a one page setup for something that you can either use as a default Medium like site or SSH into and do whatever you want. You pay the monthly EC2 account, a yearly maintenance with a DNS Registry etc... like you would had you set everything up individually.

The only thing you can't currently automate is setting up people's accounts on cloud providers. I don't see that changing but would be interesting if you could.
Intermediary is not the best word here. What if you could use a storage infrastructure to implemented a protocol for storing and retrieving packets across NAT and disconnected devices. If the role of storage is similar to the raw networks transport via ISP, then it is not more centralized than using an ISP.
Just a friendly reminder that payroll tax is not inherently hard, though US payroll tax may be.

Down here in New Zealand, for instance, it's quite reasonable to manage payroll for a smallish company yourself. There are some services/tools which people seem to like too.

In the case of an employee without student loans nor child support payments: once a month, the employer submits some information and pays tax to IRD, usually online. Inputs are the employee's gross income, their IRD number, and the contribution rate to their KiwiSaver (retirement plan). Outputs are effectively four numbers: pay the employee $A, send the IRD $B, and then the company needs to record two other amounts which relate to KiwiSaver. Manually dealing with the last two bits may even be obsolete - there's a new process available now, but I haven't switched to it yet.

This online calculator shows most of the work required https://www.ird.govt.nz/calculators/keyword/kiwisaver/calcul...

Income tax is also quite easy from the employee's perspective: decide how much to contribute to KiwiSaver (usually when you start the job), do your work, and receive your pay. There's no annual tax return to file for most people, as the right amount of money shows up in the right places.

>Kind of like with Tasers

Well that doesn't exactly stop the cops from abusing them. It's lot different when it's someone on your side, maybe someone you know, doing it because they have to and you can be basically assured they won't go out of their way to harm you or be sadistic. It's like the mythbusters water torture episode where Adam just sits there because without all the situational stuff it's not really that bad.

People who are actually on the receiving end of people abusing their power have no such luxury.

I really doubt that at TI level the drafting advantage is significant enough to give one team 90% advantage. My guess would be closer to 2/3, granted thats still just a complete guess. I think often analysts will use the draft as an excuse to in retrospect justify the outcome of the game, but that doesn't bear on the reality of the situation at all. Though, I would be really interested to see some data that shows the significance of drafting.

Truth is, no one cares. GDPR is an overreach designed to shake down American mega-corps. Docker has no money so the EU isn't going to do anything to them.

How much do you trust your computer?
I've just assumed mine has been hacked by someone for the past five years or so. It's not that I do a lot of dumb things but sometimes you have to download a program from a shady looking site or do something against your better judgement.

Microsoft probably keylogs everything you say in a special hidden partition on the hard drive so they can serve it up to the NSA at a moments request.

Don't even get me started on phones.

Anyways, do you feel safe using your computer and if so what gives you that confidence?

That's correct, but what I mean is that this isnt a traditional software problem, it is a problem related to the workings of NNs themselves, whether they are embedded in software or in pure hardware.
In that vein, I’ve noticed how little many seemingly progressive companies care about plastic waste. Lots of products that I would think are meant to cater to a progressive, “green” crowd use thick packaging apparently to give the product a premium feel. Hint brand water is one example, and a bag of Forager chips I had recently did this too. The thick plastic gives the product a premium feel but is utterly destructive to the earth. However the negative effects are rarely witnessed by either the producers or the consumers, and so they both benefit from the fictional belief that this behavior is okay.

I don’t mean to single out just these manufacturers, as all profit seeking organizations seem to behave in this way where the harms of their actions are quietly ignored. Consumers buy in to this equally, or make some off hand remark about the waste and keep on going. It’s a cultural issue for sure, and I agree that exporting this way of life to places even less equipped to handle it is yet another of those unseen harms we all happily allow ourselves to ignore.

My hope is to combat all these issues by fighting to change our culture at home to one that is radically waste free. We can use the privilege that got us in to this position to help get out of it. We can learn to be waste free. Unfortunately we’re hooked on the disposable culture bad, and I’m not sure if we’ll ever get ourselves off it. We could, but time will tell if we care enough and are creative enough to do it.
I think I'm missing something. Any reason why you were looking for that?
Side question - how does HN feel about the cookie/gdpr notices in general? I personally feel that while I like the purpose they have, they just feel like spam at this point. I kind of expect most websites to use cookies, and if I didn't want them to I'd probably block them with an extension. As for the GDPR notices, are these going to be persistent forever? It feels like the web did 5 years ago, except instead of viagra ads I'm getting GDPR and cookie popups on every site now.

Overall I feel like the intent of these is correct, but the execution is terrible. I'd much rather have say a badge in the address bar of the browser (similar to the https badge) saying a site was gdpr compliant and used cookies then a popup everywhere.
>you were surprised by Abu Gharaib then you clearly weren't paying attention to exactly the same sort of thing happening in prisons in the South.

If your were surprised my Michael Brown et. al. then you just weren't up to date on how the cops treat poor and/or black people. If you were surprised by the stuff Snowden published it was because you didn't know the history of the federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies. If anything the ATF does surprises you then you must have just slept through the 90s. If this surprises you then you probably weren't keeping tabs on civil liberties at the border, there's been a slow trickle of allegations like this over the years. They can't all be false.

It's all just shit. All these organizations just do terrible things with alarming frequencies but it's ok because they only abuse "bad" people and when they abuse innocent people they can either revise the narrative to make those innocent people bad and/or those innocent people are poor and not well connected. It's like the population is so overwhelmed that it can't focus on fixing any one agency.

Generally, the highest impact of any individual is mostly minior (of course the collective actions matter, but you are mostly bound to be a tiny gear in massive cultural processes that are nearly out of our control). To increase impact, you need to increase ~net worth. The most effective way of doing that is to ascend existing hierarchies even though that is massively biased by nepotism, looks and imperfect evaluation abilities; but, hey, that's the best we can get out of a system of distributed responsibilities and provided that all alternatives seem to diverge into authoritarianism. It is excessively rare to find alternative ways of having an impact.

If nobody tried, changes would of course occur much less often. So there is that.
> I am not anti immigrant but the immigration system disproportionately hurts American software engineers and American tech

Cry me a river. Do you also complain about internal migration towards cities like San Francisco and Boston. It's the same principal at play. Tech workers from all over the US flock to cities where the wealth is. Tech workers from around the world flock to the US because that's where the wealth is. It's not because we like stealing your job.

Developing software is an investment and the people that fund the investment seem to prefer (at least the core of the team) to live nearby. But if you put a hard-stop on immigration. Or if it gets too expensive for people to live nearby, they might just start looking for the talent wherever it is like @dhh.

Bring it on.
