"there was a significant amount of internet bullying and general predation"

Hmmm, I think it's more complicated than that... Terry (because of his illness) said a lot of horrible things, including claiming to commit pedophilia, rape and murder. His comments were very often filled with racist rants.

Yes, some people responded very poorly to those comments. You can maybe forgive them for either not knowing Terry had a debilitating mental illness, or not knowing how to respond to someone with that illness.

But if anything I think there was an enormous amount of sympathy and defense of Terry.

There were also a bunch of copycats making those same racist and violent rants. Perhaps they were just pretending. Perhaps they were being ironic. I believe echoing the dark parts of his behavior was exploiting his illness, more than anything. Others acted like it was celebrating him.

Regardless, I hope he is in peace now. I believe he would have wanted people to keep TempleOS going, and I hope someone does. I also hope we all learn a bit more about mental illness and how best to respond to it.
I did not know about this, so this is why the Jewish people can have good certainty about how far the origins of their religion indeed go. Very fascinating stuff, I learned something new today.
> Are you sure this isn't the general practice?

I have yet to see examples to the contrary.

> The US isn't prohibiting them from having an attorney (or their parents etc.), it's just not paying for their attorney.

They just separated them from their parents, and expect a toddler in a detention center to somehow shit out an attorney. Meanwhile the government is represented by an attorney.

> It's the same as when a toddler sets fire to someone else's property. If there is a lawsuit the government doesn't pay for the defendant's lawyer, independent of how old they are. That's on the parents.

Can you even sue a toddler? Like, you can sue the parents sure, but can you think of another situation civil or criminal that has a toddler representing themselves?
I'd think it'd be better to cool the neck to cool off the blood in the carotid arteries on the way to the brain.

Surface cooling of the scalp seems like it'd have a very limited effect on cooling the brain when body temperature blood is being pumped directly into the brain.
In his last YouTube upload (which is currently the only available video; it appears he deleted everything else from his channel) he says that he is now homeless and living outdoors. In the video he seems remarkably less lucid than he normally was in his previous videos, almost having problems with his speech, and his face looks like something entirely else than it did in his videos from a year ago when he was still living at his parents' home.
That would be closer to $700/year. Teachers are government employees.

$300/month for a car? Really? You can get a decent car cheaper than that.

In state tuition is going to be closer to $6k - $7k a year.

Nebraska's average salary is $36k.
I'm not sure the government is actually authorized to spy, per the US Constitution.

The CIA and NSA would be surprised to hear that.
I'd imagine the "selling" operation of the dealership is insignificant, at least the new cars department.

Trade-ins, used cars, service and maintenance are the margin drivers.

If you go through TrueCar, or any of their white-labeled sites (Costco Auto, Amex Cars, Overstock Cars), you're more or less buying direct.

I don't believe that Tesla has really solved the legal problem for legacy manufacturers. And Tesla really hasn't solved the problem that going direct will piss off dealers, and dealers retaliating by selling other brands would threaten the existing ICE sales that make up the bulk of the legacy manufacturer's revenue.

If you read The Innovator's Solution you'll find that it is common for top leadership at the legacy companies to recognize the coming future and announce initiatives to fix it, but their initiatives fail because the company's existing distribution networks undermine the initiative.

So the fact that dealers are not aligned with manufacturers in this case is a special case of a general trend, and historical data points are not promising for the future of legacy manufacturers.
> Imagine what he could have done if he had been able to direct it towards something more globally useful

I find this comment extremely offensive. Gosh, imagine what Sileni could have done if they didn't spend time on HN!
How long will this promise be kept, I am curious.
I have one of the Linksys WRT-AC series (WRT-1900ACS but they are all pretty similar I think) - they're very well supported by OpenWRT (stock firmware is a derivative of OpenWRT in fact at least on some of them). Hardware specs are good, including reasonably fast CPUs (good enough to saturate a VPN at 100Mbit at least which is the uplink I have here). The open source wireless chipset support is towards the better end too - not perfect but a lot better than some others.

If you're flashing your own images of OpenWRT, there are a few conveniences which are a bit more uncommon in the hardware which are useful if you ever need to debrick - eg easily openable case, UART header comes pre-installed (you don't need to solder your own), etc.
I suspect part of that is just how much better the current model Leaf is than the old ones. In a rapidly changing market, you can’t expect much resale value. Of course, this implies the next problem; it’s never the right time to buy an electric car, because next year’s range is going to be a lot better..l
Bears. It's bears, I'm thinking. Smokey Bear never made it across the Canadian border, as far as I can tell, so
I reckon their bears just never got the message!
So the average teacher's starting salary is more than 30% higher than the average person's salary in Texas.

I understand that teaching isn't a highly paid profession, but when you only work ~75% of the year, that doesn't seem so terrible...

Lmao because we've seen how well a web operated on the free market works.
This is a freemium product. There's an enterprise upgrade that costs about 10k per year I believe. It's nice though, I use it on my site.
Connect Four Powered by the AlphaZero Algorithm
A very laudable effort and hopefully it goes well. But to be clear, the first ethical smartphone is Fairphone. I don't see how exactly this one could get even close to trying to be ethical in the way Fairphone does, but it might just be me having a different understanding of 'fair'.

My anecdata. Both the Honda and Toyota dealers I use let you drop off around 7AM and pickup (at least some evenings) to 8PM or so. My impression is that dealerships are pretty flexible in this regard these days.

> The Internet bullying angle angers me.

He would probably still be alive had he never started streaming. It was brutal. He was unable to distinguish fake manipulative interactions from the truth. He live-streamed things like reading spoofed emails from internet crushes, presumably with those responsible watching as it unfolded, with total disregard for his well-being and mental condition.
Earning per share and cost per share are useful to look at as a pair regardless of the number of shares issued. It's the return on capital. Tells one something regardless of market cap.
>Why should foreign companies have to comply with these policies anyway?

Because they want revenue from EU citizens? Should a car company from China have to comply to US safety regulations when selling cars to US citizens?

>GDPR compliance has already had a negative impact on web UX.

Nah. I've switched off tracking on every website I use often via the popups and I've noticed much faster loading. Imo GDPR has made the web experience better.
An air gap may not be viable, but you can place a firewall there. There is no reason for everything to be on the same bus.
You're committing a couple of different fallacies there, which let sensationalist media (itself full of fallacies) influence your thinking.

First, Teslas aren't exactly rare. Upthread, someone said 200,000 have been sold (have not fact-checked, but it seems plausible). Second, autopilot related fatalities are covered breathlessly in the media, ignoring all of the other, far more common sources of fatalities, such as drunk driving. And finally, there is no media coverage of the number of accidents prevented by autopilot, which I suspect is pretty high.
I agree, but I do think there's going to be some losers in this disruption to the auto industry. It's doubtful that all the existing players survive.
I overheard a guy gushing about TempleOS at a data jam last weekend. It was great. He really liked the fresh takes on the old-school freedoms of the commodore 64. I pried him for more and he graciously gave me a short walkthrough of his favorite features since he had it running on his laptop.

I hope someone writes a book about it. I love learning about long term solo artworks like this that are difficult to appreciate.

Pouring one out for this passionate artist tonight. rest in peace
Full coverage auto insurance still only covers repairs from accidents. It doesn't cover the cost of, say, brake pads needing to be replaced or a window motor going bad.

For covering normal wear and tear maintenance, that would be an auto warranty – or extended warranty, service contract, protection plan, etc.

At least, those are the standard terms in the United States.
In my early 30's now and I often muse on how poorly prepared I actually was, coming right out of school.

Basically, society molds the young to fit an image. Then those young people all compete over that image, hopefully start to realize this is a terrible idea and there are better things, and start looking for a niche to exit to. And then perhaps 20 years later they've learned enough to successfully hit that niche!
I'd suggest you do a bit of reading on this because you keep repeating that very premise - it is simple, compelling, seemingly 'fair' and thoroughly wrong. I outlined it above but, obviously, much better and clearer things have been written about it. Racism is not a matter of calling people names.
People like finding little niches where they have power; makes them feel important and in control. They'll flock to power positions, even if the job is objectively pretty terrible.

Or if you're being charitable, it's because they want to have a positive impact, and benefit the community. Take your pick. Either way a site as big as reddit will probably never have problems finding mods.
I just hope they won't kill Experiments in Google Analytics.

Trump isn't threatening to expel the ethnic Mexican with US citizenship operating an auto repair shop in Alabama,

Actually he is threatening to expel US citizens who are Mexican who he doesn’t believe have valid birth certificates. Not because he believes they are forged, but because the babies were delivered by midwives at the border....

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/us-is-deny...

ICE also detained an American citizen that was speaking Spanish.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/05/2...

Not to mention that whole Obama’s is not a US citizen but he is a “secret Muslim” trying to spread Sharia law.

but he's also not offering citizenship to low-income people from neighboring socialist-leaning countries who would probably vote for Democrats.

If it were about socialism and not race, why is he so enamored by people from Norway?

One less reason to use a password manager now.
I don't know if this is the correct post for this or not, but I've been thinking about it for some time.

We hackers and founders obviously suffer from mental illness and poverty, yet some of us do really well -- rich beyond most folks' understanding.

I don't want to get into a discussion of "what's wrong with society". I just want to know: why aren't we taking care of our own? We obviously have the resources. If we can do a basic income experiment, we can take care of the Terry Davis's in the world. Why aren't we?
> I can watch them in double speed so that I can done quicker and my mind doesn't get bored and wander

Such an incredible time saver. I can't watch vids at normal speed anymore.

Also, the ability to pause and rewatch all or parts of the online lecture is another added bonus. Live lectures are horrible because if you don't understand one part, you might not understand the rest of the lecture. And it sucks having to stop the lecture and ask the prof/TA to go over something they already covered.

In most of Nebraska, that's perfectly livable. Sure, you're not getting rich, but you're not starving either. And $18k a year is not a realistic number for someone who attended a state school in Nebraska.
Your so know that Europe and USA is moving to CCS standards, and Japan to chademo.

Manufacturers are not competing on charging infrastructure, they are collaborating. Look up ionity and electrify America.

Tesla instead went ahead and made their own proprietary standard. No loss in doing so, but it isn't the upper hand and ability to dictate a standard that you imply
Trump Cancels Plans for Labor Day Fun, Shows Washington What Labor Day Means
Map and chat apps are the ones I can think of right now that is better as a single-pager. I have been writing web apps for over 10 years. They aren't single-pagers, yet everything is a "3-8 KB request" and happens in "about 50 ms." There is never a time at any point where "2-4 MB" is needed. Now perhaps you are thinking these are ugly, and it means little to you if I claim that they aren't. All I can say is before I was a programmer I was a graphic designer, and I still like studying and thinking about user interface design. Oh, and my customers have complimented the look and feel of my apps, without solicitation, many times through the years.
I'm not sure if Terry Davis should be considered like the outsider art of programming or more of a sad side show that captivated the internet's attention.
So, when it is said that it is ethical, does that extend to labor conditions in Purism's upstream supply chain? I would buy such a phone for its more robust privacy, but I wouldn't call it ethical if it was produced with conflict minerals and virtual slave labor.

Not that you can really escape those realities the way things currently are.

That is a lovely epitaph for a hacker. Do not understand downvotes on this
Two days a week. If my work environment continues to get louder/more crowded, I'd likely move up to three.

As I type this, I can overhear 3 distinct conversations, over my headphones. I am _vastly_ more productive at home. Coworkers tend to make async pings over chat rather than walking over to context switch you. There's less visual/audial distractions. There are less spurious discussions, since someone can't just "Grab you." I additionally have more desk space, a more comfortable work environment, and a generally more peaceful surrounding at home.

(This on top of the obvious benefit of gaining 2 hours back of every day, and throwing off all the stress that comes via sitting in traffic for those 2 were I commuting)

After a mix of personal offices and open spaces over the last decade, having a door, or the ability to work largely remote, have become significant drivers in my career choices. The quality of life is just so much higher.
In the military, you probably don't get to change your mind and do something different on a whim.
And there's the whole killing/being killed thing.
I think Sileni meant that the effort spent on an awesome piece of work like TempleOS would be better appreciated if it was less niche.
I suppose the set of features I need covered include:

- Web clipping. Evernotes browser plugins are pretty darn good here.

- Notes with attachments (images, PDFs, etc.). Some of these are mixed-media notes, where text, images, and/or file attachments are mixed to create a comprehensive document about some topic. Others are "pure" attachments, e.g. "store this PDF where I can retrieve it by search".

- Note taking. This, in isolation, is the easiest.

- Note syncing, mobile and desktop. This gets a bit harder.

- Search. Let's be clear, this was the first and biggest killer feature of Evernote. Notebook and tag organization are important, but rather than just providing direct hierarchical/taxonomic organization, they're largely there to support search with user-defined search facets.

I'd also love good Markdown support – that's one of my most-wanted features from Evernote in the first place.
Custom domains service deprecation
Motors are not getting better very quickly because it’s old and very good tech.

In terms of battery tech, that’s going to fit in any form factor. Which means someone replacing a battery in a 10 year old electric car will be buying the same technology as a new car’s battery while expecting to get another 10 years from it. All for a steadily dropping price.

Remember, electric means no internal belts, spark plugs, regular oil changes, etc which offsets most if not all the cost of a new battery.
either they're getting underpaid or you're getting overpaid. pick one.

Money alone can't guarantee good outcomes in cases of severe mental illness sadly.

Our medications are not good enough, nor are they well-tolerated enough, and sometimes even with medication and money and strong supports and a willingness to try to improve patients still don't get better.
> Hopefully in an OK neighborhood, because you can't afford a private school.

Why would a public school teacher not send their kids to public school? A private school will typically offer tuition discounts for the children of employees.
Honestly curious what definition of "free" you're using here? Are you saying that anything moving away from uncontrolled anarchy is cutting away freedom and we therefore shouldn't do that?

The government forbids you to make a company spying in people bathrooms and sell the pictures, would you say that's interference in your free life as well?

The Big Lie: How a Professor's Scheme to Get Money and Respect Backfired
That was my first thought as well... I've worked with a handful of extremely skilled developers/engineers over the years in China, Russia and India that would be impossible to pay for at U.S. prices, but able to offer very competitive money for where they are located.

On the flip side, I've also had more very bad experiences with outsourcing overseas and communication barriers. Cultural differences are often underestimated, and without dedicated oversight/management things can go off the rails pretty badly. It really depends on a lot of variables.

I have mixed feelings about globalization myself, living in a higher paying country for the work I do. But I don't fault anyone for offering or taking a good wage for one's circumstances. I just wish it worked a bit better for the consumer in some protective markets (medications mostly, but others too).
They even carry furniture. Not unexpected given the lengths that spies go to. It reminds me of the IBM Selectric bug (apparently planted during a customs inspection).

Yeah, last week it was "High schoolers are becoming Instagram influencers instead of getting summer jobs".
In addition to JPL's, the JSF's does too, after initialization. That is you can malloc at startup, but not past that.
Yea that could also be another option for manufacturers. At the end some sort of common standard needs to be defined and followed. I'd hate to scan for chargers that can charge my brand faster than others or something. Honestly independent charging stations would be the ideal way to distribute the wealth from this market( at least in interstates etc). Having the electricity company of the region sell power via the light poles on a city is a convenient option but one that takes away a lot of jobs and wealth distribution too.
I think you DO need to bring some kind of politics into it to justify a programmer's union. Just think what would have happened if those google engineers simply created a union without some "higher moral cause". They would have been fired and replaced instantly. But, Google certainly can't do that if they're gathering together to fight some uniequivocal evil (at least how society sees it) such as "Automated Military drones". Google and facebook can't take any chances on appearing to have unethical behavior - they have far too much at stake.
