I'm not sure Turing_Machine was trying to convince people that those ideas are less harmful. I think the point was that the far left's ideas are as harmful as the far right's.
I see comments like these often enough to convince me that a large portion of the active HN audience are simply out of touch with what's going on outside their major city tech bubble.

Not everyone is going to be able to find a well-paying tech job. How many times have you come onto this forum seeing active HNers who are tech-literate and have a history of programming employment complain that they cannot find a job?

Look at your neighbors.. everyday people like your grocer or mechanic or mailperson.. Take a look outside your bubble. Not everyone is going to be able to be fluent in tech even with great effort. It's not so much that it's impossible, but that's it's incredibly unrealistic.

The only reason I've been able to work as a programmer is because I lucked into it. I got hooked when I was 12 or so because I found it fun. I had plenty of time and enjoyed it. If I had to do it all over today out of desperation I'm not sure I could will myself to do something completely foreign and uninteresting.

I think you take for granted the knowledge foundation that you were given.

Obfuscation minimizes time to discovery? Indirection is a possible technique for obfuscation?
A wild guess: given the airplane's role as a spotter, it only had radio for communicating with troops in the field, and that was on different bands?
Dismissing others' success, minimizing the importance of non-technical founders (vision/recruiting/deal-closing), downplaying well-executed technology (computer vision work by https://twitter.com/nashlie_s), and a dismissive arrogant tone... Typical HN commenter.
This response shows why knowing history is so important - you can see (and remember?) both sides of the issue, without relying on whatever pops to the top of Reddit. Great job!

I wouldn't trust apple for multiple reasons:
* because they agree (or at least help) censorship in china it shows that they do not care about the user, they do what is best for them and if that is sharing data with anyone they will do it. It don't understand why apple would help a governments with bad intention in china and not the rest of the world.
* secondly if they really want to protect your privacy why don't they open source some parts of their systems and let people build it (compile) themselves. eg: the T2 chip could be a backdoor, who can prove it's not?
I feel _exactly_ the same. And I know many, many other people who feel the same thing too. Apple will eventually run into a wall, like it did before in the 90's. They don't have a clear vision or connection to the actual user. They just milk the cow that Steve Jobs left them.
> If not, what do the Germans think of this?

I am a certified German and most people very much enjoy the six day week (de-facto five day week if you're in an office or unionized), though some people inexplicably want to do "sunday shopping".

Sunday having a protected status is actually part of the Grundgesetz (~constitution).
Pro-life as a man = sexist because you're trying to control women

Strict immigration laws, particularly around deportation or punishments for illegal entrance = racist

Lowering or abolishing minimum wage = racist and you hate the poor

Any comment on Islam that isn't rah-rah = racist (which is fascinating since religion != race, but there you go)

Death Penalty = racist (disproportionate representation of African-Americans on death row)

Religious as a man = usually leads to sexist claims if a member of a conservative sect

As a white woman who tries hard to find common ground before disagreeing, has lived extensively in different African countries, and firmly believes we are ALL sexist and racist, I tend to get more attacks that I'm heartless and/or brainwashed. I try to defang the racist/sexist attacks right off the bat by getting mutual agreement that we all are and our job is to work on offsetting it as much as possible.

But my white male SO who, God help him, isn't willing to do the 10-20 minute reassurance dance before getting to the actual debate? My God, he can't even TALK about most of these issues without getting labeled something horrible or a shut down of "check your privilege" that, if he ignores it, leads to some kind of racist/sexist label.

Though it gets murky when it's standard-fare for your coworkers to have Twitter accounts blasting their extreme leftist ideological beliefs. Or perhaps you take issue with one-sided moderation policy that bans syndicated political cartoonists but consistently allows violent threats against conservatives like Dana Loesch - but bringing up such concerns would get you railroaded out of the company like James Damore. Real-world examples of individuals who have had their careers destroyed by just questioning the moral majority creates a hostile work environment, self-censorship, and ultimately mediocrity as your company blindly alienates potentially half its U.S. consumer-base and decays into irrelevance.

That sort of scenario works itself out in the end, so it's fine by me.
True. But scope matters. Breitbart is extreme but they absolutely don’t represent a significant portion of conservatives. They might pretend do, but they don’t. There crazies out there on both sides. I choose to ignore them. Not being out there denouncing them doesn’t mean I support them or agree with them
This is great. I think that often libraries are overlooked in the age of Amazon Prime, but they provide invaluable services for people who aren't in the top 10% of income / whoever is the opposite of someone frequenting HN.

Quick anecdote - when I moved to NYC last year, I wasn't very happy about the tax rate, but city taxes become a lot more palatable simply by getting a library card. I constantly download books to my phone and place items on reserve that are delivered to a library one block away from where I work. Couldn't be more convenient. Given the size of the NYPL system, I have yet to find something that I want that isn't in the catalog.

I'd love to use your site (which looks great!), but I'm not able to log in with Safari; the form fields don't show up: https://i.imgur.com/myxCZLU.jpg. I've tried disabling my adblocker. Also, when signing up, I got an alert box about "FS" being undefined. But I did receive the verification email. Feel free to reach out by email (address in profile).
You cannot MITM a .rpm downloaded with yum/dnf or a .deb downloaded with apt because they verify the signature of the package as a whole before they even begin unpacking it, the entire reason a RCE exists here at all is because of an entirely broken signature verification mechanism. There is no need to protect against a MITM attack if you are verifying signatures correctly, because a modified package will be detected prior to installation.

Trying to prove both ideas are harmful ends up just proving extremism is bad and that any political ideology can be twisted into something despotic. It in no ways proves that wanting socialized medicine and a less agressive military somehow leads to stalinism.

How has apple managed to make iOS as bad as Windows 95?

It's of course great when people work for you on your day off. Unsurprising, though markedly short-sighted.
Super interesting read. Especially:

>"The privacy right established by Roe was not absolute. In the words of the Court:

'The pregnant woman cannot be isolated in her privacy. She carries an embryo and, later, a fetus, if one accepts the medical definitions of the developing young in the human uterus…. The woman’s privacy is no longer sole and any right of privacy she possesses must be measured accordingly.'

This, as we’ve witnessed in the intervening years, is the legal wedge that the anti-abortion movement has used to pick apart Roe."

As someone who has grown up in a country whose highest jurists have also historically been members of the higher parliament chamber and therefore subject to continuous parliamentary review, I'm continually interested in the way the decisions of 9 purposely separate individuals can set the political discourse of an issue of many generations, if not permanently.

Abortion with Roe vs Wade is obviously an extreme example, but are there any other times this has happened? Are there any US movements, other than extreme libertarianism or political anarchism that do away with this current process?

Any resources/book recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
This is an odd logic, isn't it? The country that owned the chopper practically ceased to exist, it doesn't mean the equipment is no good...
What sort of capabilities does sh-lang provide that Python cannot? Does sh-lang have some sort of privileged access to the OS not available to Python?
Yes! I like Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth. She is also doing real well inspiring government officials with her ideas and visions.
It needs a few things that I liked about GF:

1) If I click a different period in a chart, it should show me the different in price over that period as a %. I want to be able to see the chart for the last 6 months and be told what % the price changed.

2) It needs options chains.

Some small tweaks would also be nice:

1) The news line length is basically unreadable.
2) Font size is too small. Really hard to read the site.

But overall I like it.
True, but in your OP you said 99%. Far more than 1% of javascript developers are working on websites and all of those people should be thinking twice before adding 300kb to their bundle size.

Would Airware have attracted as much funding as it did in subsequent years if it didnt propose a pivot into hardware? Or do you think it could have eventually succeeded by focusing only on software?
Apple gives the government a backdoor into your iPhone. So I'd argue that you don't have privacy when you use an iPhone, period. Same goes for any smartphone, really.

I'd guess that Apple really collects less data because they want to preserve your battery life, not your privacy.

Do you have a proof for that? Waymo is actually the only car that explicitly does not allow teleoperating. They specifically made this decision to bypass the risk of being hacked and taken over.

The best a teleoperator can do is suggest a path to a car that is confused, and the car decides if the path is a good idea. We also don't know how often that's used. If it's rare enough, does it even matter? Does it not make it driverless if once in a while they need a little nudge?

That's like saying your car isn't a real car because 1% of the time you need to take it to the mechanic.
Pretty sure you also need to resign the app fairly frequently which is a nonstarter for many.
That and risk. They probably had no way of knowing what mechanical condition some of those helicopters were in, and to have half a dozen or more helos hovering around the carrier would be half a dozen potential emergencies that would have to be dealt with in the midst of an already complicated situation.

I'm sure that's true. I haven't personally lived in a conservative area in America for any extended period of time.

Hopefully we can both agree these are bad things to occur due to race, gender, sex, political orientation, etc. You should be judged for how you treat and speak to people, not for your political opinions.

I've worked with men that genuinely believe that women should not be educated and just stay home with children. Whatever. They treated women well in class and outside of class and THAT is what they should be judged on for jobs, housing, and connections --- not their personal opinions when they vote.

Google Finance was a free site if I remember. If a consumer expects a level of service without offering a payment, any pains the consumer has are entirely their fault. If it was a paid service however, the consumer should control (via a contract or terms of use) what will happen when something goes wrong. If anything, people should thank Google for offering their service free of charge.

Shades of National Sunday Law!

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/National_Sunday_law

> National Sunday law is a conspiracy theory which alleges that the United States government is on the verge of enacting a national blue law that would make Sunday a day of rest and worship. The theory is based on the idea that the Pope is the Antichrist and the Mark of the Beast is worshipped on Sunday. Sinister forces (read: the Vatican) are conspiring to enact a national Sunday law in the United States, which would be the trigger that unleashes the fulfilment of the prophecies found in the Biblical books of Daniel and Revelation. In addition, this law would outlaw worshipping on Saturday, thus beginning a period of persecution of those who worship on Saturday, or Sabbath.

> This idea originated within Seventh-day Adventism (which considers the Sabbath to be Saturday), and some on the fringes of the SDA church have taken a handful of failed Congressional bills and Papal writings and inflated them into the trigger of the apocalypse. This is quite ironic considering that you would think blue law opposition would come from more secular groups.

I joke, but barely: Making any day a day of rest would play into religious persecution, and fears of same, in a nasty, nasty way.
I was tasked at one point with certifying some aspects of a line of samsung ovens. One of the features that took the longest to validate was the sabbath mode. Normally the oven would turn off if left untouched for 12 hours. With Sabbath mode activated the oven just stay on in perpetuity until turned off. Had to try it once with it off to make sure it turned off, and once with it one, to ensure it didn't.

This way you could set the oven friday morning, and then use it all day long on the Sabbath, without having done anything that fits their definition of work. Then just turn it off once the Sabbath is over.
I have Ergodox EZ and absolutely love it as well.

IMHO Dampened Cherry Red switches configuration is almost as good as Topre if not better.

The ability to program it has been the killer feature for me, I have a layout that works absolutely perfectly for me! f.e. dual function keys! I have ' set as dual function key so if I hold it is Shift, if I just tap it is ', in place of usual Caps Lock location I also have Shift, having moved both Cmd/Win keys to usual Shift location. Home row Shift has improved the typing comfort so much! I also remapped function keys and made many other tweaks.

Also have alt/ctrl mapped with dual key feature to z/ctrl x/alt and ./alt //ctrl, this way all modifier keys are clustered together and easily accessible. I don't think I can ever go back! the mind did get used to switching between the two layouts though, so thankfully I can still use the laptop keyboard on the go :)

For anybody interested you can have a look at their configurator https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/keyboard_layouts/new

The Wayfinders by Wade Davis

If you're interested in what living 20k years ago would have been like this is a pretty good place to start.
Past time zones should only be a fairly specialist need: our front end code (SPA that is especially in the time domain) doesn't need to deal with past time zones. Then again, although our SPA is 100% JSON, we do all date and time processing at the server.

Putting UTC times into our front end would require the front end to know too many business rules.

> e.g. birthdays via a datepicker that constructs Date objects

> [From your comment in link]: The birthday will be wrong from the very start, because datepickers din't care about people can be born in some TZ and fill forms different TZs. Normally if you're only interested in date only, it doesn't matter if time part is off by hour or more hours. But if you live in Africa, then it could be whole day difference (because of how date will parsed).

I have trouble understanding your example - I am guessing you are sending UTC date including time of birth? Seems a little contrived. Maybe pick a better example (calendars or alerts and timezones?)

That said, I agree that trusting the browser implementation is mad. We still have clients accessing using IE8 (we just dropped support), Safari 7 (iPhone 4), and a fair number use Chrome 30/33 because that is the version the WebView is stuck on for Android 4.4.

Some of our users have the date on their computer set a week out (or more)!

Edit: just saw comment at end of your article "If your users enter birthdays with some kind of date picker, you probably suffer from this bug!". I think you just have a problem with your code: you would not use UTC date/time from a date picker, and you should either zero the time component or don't use Date internally when you just need a date - e.g. an input type=date naturally returns "yyyy-mm-dd".
Effect and side effect seem mixed up here. What is great about Amsterdam isn't the bikes, it's the lack of cars. Yes adding infrastructure for bikes takes space away from cars so the results appear one in the same. But perhaps focusing instead primarily on car reduction we'd find better ways to plot more livable cities.
