I feel like a lot of this problem is to do with logistical convenience.

As we get better at traveling further for work / school we build relationships with people who are less convenient to maintain.

These relationships demand higher effort than a local relationship and are more fragile than relationships built on convenience (assumption).

IMO the solution to this is to somehow decouple where we work / learn from who we work for / which schools we go to so that local, convenient people can work and learn together on different jobs / courses and build relationships that are convenient to maintain.

Right now i think the neucleus of our social lives and the places we build the most of our relationships (school, work) are too far from the places we relax (home) for us to easily maintain longterm, social relationship because those relationships are often founded and maintined through convenience.

That or we need to spend less time working and officially dedicate much larger portions of our lives to maintaining social lives. We could do this trough reduced working hours, increased leisure time and perhaps some sort of “hanging out” subsidy so that people without disposable income can afford to travel to spend time together.

Unfortunately it will take several years until you will be able to modularize server Java application. Right now the ecosystem just isn’t ready.
I read it almost exactly halfway between what you two do: She read waay too much into one of her kid's specific preferences, and accidentally pushed him into dresses because of her own beliefs.

Take myself for example, and imagine what that mother would have thought: Up until ~14 I wore various old shirts from my parents to bed and on weekends, which were long enough to look like a dress on me, but it had nothing to do with liking dresses. It had to do with regular clothes being too stifling to be comfortable on the weekend, pajamas being too warm, and me not having confidence to just go around in only underwear.
> they worked to live out their other activities, instead of living to work.

I'm from Europe, and I agree. Not everyone, but most people look at a job as just a means to a salary, regardless of what they do.

But I'm actually critical of this mindset: if you see things that way, then you are spending a great amount of your time doing something 'because you have to', slogging through the work day just to get to the stuff you like to do.

I know I'm generalizing, but I perceive Americans as more intense workers than Europeans. Maybe it's worse for their health, but look at what it's done to the world: space travel, computers, the internet, smartphones: all things that dominate the world (and are ultimately good, even though they have bad sides) and were made / greatly developed in America.

So hyper-capitalism isn't all that bad :)
I am well aware of that. I think a sort of secular replacement for Christianity is needed. Liberalism seems to have just done away with it and left nothing to replace it. It had its problems but it also served some good purposes. This is one of them.

I've seen things like this. And I've tried all known virus scanners and protection tools. None work. You're not crazy. Perhaps the solution is older hardware (EBAY), Non x86 SBCs running Linux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_single-board_com..., a Purism Laptop: https://puri.sm/,

First off, kudos to you for looking ahead. It’s one of the things that’s really “scared” me into action. It’s funny because I went through the same thought process as you are going through now.

I was a decent enough software engineer and while I love to build things, I felt there was more.

Almost all company problems tend to be managerial and organisational rather than technical, which is a fascinating discussion in my MBA classes. You will definitely get the space and time to think about these things and your theories on how to solve them.

However, I will say that to solve those problems, you have everything you need today. Your knowledge, wisdom and experience can help guide you but fundamentally, these problems touch the aspect of humans behaviour. A great book is “How to win friends and influence people” - I’m recommending it not to influence anyone but it’s a good eye opener to human behaviour. The MBA will help with theories but it’s not fact of course.

I’ve also thought about an MS in CS for fears of being limited in the future as well but will respond back when I have more time. Or if you’d like we can have a chat over Skype or email.
The Swiss/German/Central European model is extremely confusing for expats, like myself, who grew up outside of the country.

"The City" is to London as "Wall Street" is to New York. It's a term for one specific geographical part of the city which historically was a centre of the financial industry, and is now used to refer to the financial industry in general.

I don’t have any links off the top of my head, but it’s generally accepted by the medical community at this point that the only effective treatment for gender dysphoria is to transition. I’d try to dig up links but I’m on mobile and the brief search I just did only talks about cross-sex hormone therapy (though the lack of quick info on same-sex hormone therapy itself is a big clue that it doesn’t work).
> I'm an embedded systems engineer who programs on bare-metal micros. I feel my domain will be obsolete in coming decades

What makes you think so? These days embedded Linux programming is mostly done for SoCs (unless you embed a PC in a nuclear station), and those SoC embed (sorry) more and more micro-controllers. Skimming through various job posting from silicon vendors should give you some idea of the situation -- there are frequently jobs openings for programming these embedded cores.

Yes, if they’ve contributed to the opioid addiction of a few million people, they should bear some responsibility. Of course the distributors supplying the black market and pill mills should also bear responsibility. But if you penalize the drug companies, you can be sure they’ll tighten up their distribution.
I just did the same. After having used chrome since pretty much version 1.
I've had this issue with one email account that I use solely for a very busy email group. Occasionally there is no way at all to log in, as I have no tied phone numbers/email accounts. I think one question was, when did you create this account? Which of course, I have no idea.

Anyway that has put me totally off using gmail. I rarely have a phone too, so using a phone number for secondary authentication is a PITA.
Loneliness is not the same as being alone.

My first taste of gut-wrenching loneliness was when I was 13. I was a little lonely before, but then we moved. That wasn't the issue.

Some girls decided I was lesbian. Now, them being half correct is besides the point (I'm bisexual at 40 years old). The entire freaking school stopped talking to me.

It eased up a bit next year since there were some new faces in high school, but I struggled for years and years. I struggled with loneliness, in part because I never actually felt like I could just be myself. The midwest, especially in small to medium sized towns, is full of social pressure to conform - in this case, it was usually conformation to the traditional family setup with ties to some christian sect. I could sometimes find small groups of friends that simply accepted me, but sometimes not.

5 years ago I moved to Norway. I knew exactly one person. But I'm also not lonely. This is a place known for being difficult to meet people and make friends, but I've honestly been happier. I have two or three friends, and find that society mostly doesn't care about me conforming as much. Sure, I'm not accepted by everyone, but society itself is set up to try to be inclusive instead of tossing aside folks that do not fit in. It was a real life-changer.
I think this is one of those things that varies a lot between states.

Plumbing apprenticeships in PA, at least, are four-five year programs that require an entrance examination, high-school diploma or equivalent, and a mix of on-job and in classroom training before you're allowed to take the examination to become a journeyman (that is, legally operate without supervision).

Source: I have an uncle who owns a plumbing company and a cousin who's going through an apprenticeship.

> conspiracy theory

Its a fact and works exactly as he described.

Also the term conspiracy theory was created and popularized by the CIA as a function to install into the general population as a protection mechanism against their own true and active operations, which as stated, are treasonous to America and American citizens.

A useful tool for you might be to become self aware of your use of the term “conspiracy theory” and whenever you find yourself reaching for it as a knife, to instead reflect on the issue and to genuinely and independently compile a response to the topic at hand using basic logic, reason, and available known prior actions of the organizations that would profit from discrediting the topic.

Good luck.

What makes you think of that? Please elaborate. IMO people chat, share stuff, pay and do others things in the same app(wechat) is neither necessary nor helpful for bringing them together.
Interesting read.

I think the whole idea of "We need to replace Java with [Insert Language]" is much more complicated topic than just saying "X is free , Java is owned by Oracle".

Even is this is true , Java is by far one of the most performant programming language that exist on earth.

People just don't realize the hundreds of millions of dollars that went into the JVM and the JDK.

Even if they are great alternatives like Go or .NET , they either come with huge limitations in performance or their ecosystem.

Per say , finding JVM developers isn't that hard, regardless of the geography. However , finding Go developers outside of the Bay Area ? Good luck with that.

The issue with Patent on the JVM is well know and there is very little to nothing that we can do about it.

When logging in on hardware that they provided, the cost proof should be solved (if you are only using one or a few accounts). Chromebook could come with a private key and sign a message for google, they control both hardware and software.
The most likely approach there is not to "log into the browser" at all. I don't, I have separate profiles on every system.
The thing is, C can not be made "safe" without breaking old code and specified semantics. Even if you for example follow all the strict aliasing rules, you can still 1) make a mistake 2) access/modify arbitrary memory. Then you have overflows, threading races ... It is ok, C is meant to be like that. You can make C safer, make things better (arguably), that is a different thing. And it is beeing done, slowly and without breaking (in theory) stuff.
What you say makes rational sense, and yet when I walk down Bishopsgate or come out of the Canary Wharf station this is not the perception that I have. What I see is an explosion of activity and districts that are coming apart at the seems.

For me the big disaster for the City this year was the announcement that Crossrail 1 won't open for a year and the delays around Crossrail 2 and HS2 (although I think that HS2 is not the best way of spending the bag full of billions that it will cost).
Just now it was "Happy". Probably because https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17944992 contains "grateful".

Performance... Style... Price...

Reliability.

Reliability is not just a part of performance. When it comes to cars, reliability is its own category and it's every bit as important as the others. How many cars are great performers but are rendered impractical by their lack of reliability? For many people, reliability trumps all other considerations. Personally, I'll pay extra and put up with a slower, clunkier vehicle if just works.

Apple no longer produces particularly reliable software or hardware. Tesla is having problems doing that themselves. The marriage of the two? It would take a lot to make me trust a vehicle made by these two companies in partnership.

If anything, Apple needs to acquire or partner with a proven auto company with a track-record of producing reliable designs. Quite frankly, Tesla would benefit from doing the same. Their vehicles are exciting in terms of their performance, but the reliability just isn't there yet.
> Strangely enough, it can identify users across sites (even without knowing your identity) - say Reddit and Hacker News.

I think a larger demonstration could make for a very meaningful "Show HN" with hopefully a large impact on privacy consciousness.

I'm sure some of us expected this, but to have it demonstrated by a single person in a casual "Oh, it could do this as well, but I don't have it turned on for ethical reasons" manner is quite effective.

Maybe it will raise awareness that "big data" isn't just trying to correlate cat-pictures one posts on their communication medium to cat food advertising, but everything you write anywhere on the Internet, even on different media under different (or no) accounts, into permanent and guarded profiles with no recourse of opting-out of the machine, effectively rendering informal discourse over the Internet dead.
> For any mass murder you can find people blaming some ideology or another as being the root cause

Yes, there nearly always is an ideological "cause" or justification for mass murder? That's why everyone's so concerned about it in the first place, it's both a warning sign and a facilitator of genocide.
Seems like an odd direction, I guess it'll be optional? But I just sold all of my sonos speakers because of this, it'll be weird to have a car manufacturer on the blacklist too.

Apple can choose to enter the market when it's good and ready. That is, when it knows it has a very solid product that brings clear advantage. If it can't find that, keep looking or stop.

Tesla is on a death match to outrun the rest of the auto industry. It can't afford mistakes. If 3 doesn't work it's screwed. Musk pushes those people so hard they could well burn out first.

I'd much rather be Apple than Tesla.
Away Goal Analysis
Do you have anything to substantiate that? All banks were publicly against Brexit and, working myself in the City (and working on dealing with Brexit), I hardly know any banker who was pro Brexit. Banks are large organisations that can deal with the complexity of Brexit by setting up subsidaries and moving people, but this is perceived as a hassle and a distraction, not an opportunity.

As for EU banking regulations, I disagree, it is quite the opposite. The EU has many broken banking systems (like in Italy) which prevents them for going too harsh on banks. The UK regulator has systematically gold pleated every EU regulation, imposed harsher rules and regulatory ratios, and the UK ring-fencing is the only hard ringfencing I am aware of (along with Switzerland). Most other EU countries imposed symbolic ringfencing between retail and wholesale banking activities.

Polish immigration is what caused Brexit really.

You can say the same for any field of literature.

Have you heard of Sully Prudhomme, Theodore Mommsen, Rudolf Eucken, or Eyvind Johnson? All of them won Nobel Prizes for literature and -- if you're lucky -- you'll find one or two of their books in print.

Years of Grace by Margaret Barnes? Guard of Honor by James Cozzens? Both are Pulitzer Prize winners that are out of print.

The Private Life of Helen of Troy by John Erskine? Sold over 500,000 copies, critically praised, even had a movie made out of it that got some Academy Award nominations. Also out of print.

For noir you've got imprints like Hard Case Crime that have rescued dozens of once well known & regarded books from decades of obscurity.

I dunno, I think that F/SF is probably about the same as anything else when it comes to "forgetting their greats".

It's not consumerism, it's just beautiful, unadulterated capitalism. The incredible thing about the evolution is that nobody planned it. The invisible hand magically produced a society of lonely, desperate, and paranoid people who must work and study all the time less they become poor and be totally ejected from polite society. Most Americans don't even get two weeks vacation time. It's absolutely appalling but, as an investor, it's also kind of amazing.

In the end it's difficult to imagine any kind of fundamental reevaluation of America's economic model and so the culture won't change. Instead I suspect we'll see more and more people turning to often toxic online communities to manage their anxieties. The problem here is that it's very easy for lonely, desperate people to be radicalized and this could put significant downward pressure on profits. I'd really like to see something done to address this issue before it's too late. The market can over commit on stuff like this and it introduces significant volatility into long term returns.
Earlier, we were depended on others (relatives and neighbors) for many things. Now dependency has reduced drastically, so there is no need for relationships. I have have seen strong bonding in neighborhood where they are economically weak.

You can only do that if you can prove that T will never have subclasses that are larger.

Only if generic type parameters are covariant, if type parameters are invariant, this is not a problem. I guess that most languages with subtypes use invariance by default.

Also, many languages that do generics through monomorphization do not support subclassing (Rust, Haskell, etc.).

Well, there is always the option of boxing collection elements. (E.g. by using Box in Rust.)
I just said more than C not an absolute trust level or trust just because it's Rust. I do know Rust very well myself.

It does have some gotchas for those who think it means instant safety.

For example the interface between safe and unsafe. If you change an established constraint that safe Rust depends on inside an unsafe block then all safe code has to be aware of this change and take it into account. In a way anything could be undefined behavior if you don't.

I write security reports for websites, and I use CT to inform the website owner if there are unused certificates for the given domain. Usually the customer is quite surprised that this information publicly available.

But in 99% of the cases it's not so much a security problem. For bug hunters it may be usable as unlisted subdomains have less exposure, so they may be the first to scan it for bugs. It is still a concern for the website owner though, because they don't want the world to know about a new product or experiment they are running.

General advice: don't obtain certificates for a subdomain until you are ready to tell the world about it.
