For me, this is where memories of Myst are best left. At the time I loved it, but in the early 90s one was willing to forgive a game a great many short-comings in sympathy to the state of modern games technology. Myst was very much “state of the art of the possible at the time”. I’d argue that much of the appeal of 90s Myst for some was that such a world could be made at all, let alone be a reasonably competent adventure game to boot. It was also one of the first to give us an excuse to do something cool with our fancy new CD-ROM drives.

Timing was critical too for Myst too I think; it came at the point when many ‘ordinary’ (for want of a better word) families were buying their first home PCs. My experience was that Myst and Riven found fans among people not traditionally PC gamers, often via word of mouth that this was something interesting one could do on their relatively expensive new fangled PC investment.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think it holds up all that well as a ‘game’ in 2018, our expectations of video games are rightly so much greater. The standards of adventure games improved dramatically in subsequent decades. If you are looking for a Myst style puzzle world to lose one’s self in in 2018, Jonathan Blow’s game “The Witness” is arguably a strong modern spiritual successor.
Yeah I probably should have mentioned that, sorry. Also that's not an ad, it's a link to the owner's mumble server.
So just kill the free and open internet and bring back the walled garden model of the mid 90s where you paid for website packages like you did for cable TV? That's not a future I want to live in.

Europe is playing a dangerous game with the internet right now and I don't think they have enough tech-minded people in power to keep things sane and in check.

> Similarly NRA wouldn't care if you got kicked out of a movie theater for being concealed carry, but if a local city tries to ban guns in movie theaters, then NRA would step in.

Well, this isn't entirely accurate. They definitely do chafe at even private restrictions on anything gun. While I don't have time to research this right now, a quick search of "concealed carry in businesses" certainly returns some people complaining that businesses shouldn't be allowed to restrict that. And, if you dug a little deeper, I imagine the NRA would be weighing in there somewhere.
What is the service?
I disagree. I think this is indeed a known exchange of your privacy for value, but when people not using the app also find their life insurance rates going up it'll be a different story.

I also think all of us are terrible at determining the value of our privacy and it's an asset we don't miss until it's gone. It's for that reason that I think the sale of privacy is something we can't leave up to unregulated industry because not all parties have good information on the goods they are exchanging.

You can preview "ugly" by turning off "Use LCD font smoothing where available" and restarting any app to check it out. It's subjective, lots of folks complained about subpixel being ugly when it was first introduced.

I get your point. When I read about FHIR extensions, my immediate assumption was that a vendor would use it to throw a wrench. But FHIR does have an idea of conformance that I think better addresses the issues with earlier standards.
I'd vote for a ballot measure that penalizes landowners who block public access to public beaches with forfeiture of their entire property. I bet a majority of Californians would, too.
This is... not an easy matter.

To begin with, I wouldn't be surprised if this is fueled by fringe right wing interests, similar to GamerGate etc. Second, I am generally in favor of CoCs and changes that aim to elevate minority groups. Thirdly, it's often hard to take "we have no problems with diversity" at face value when it comes from those favored by a lack of CoCs.

All that said - This, to me, seems like a hard call to make. An updated CoC seems great, and I agree wholeheartedly with the spirit of it, and the need for it. On the other hand, I find the lack of definition and process it entails problematic. Hopefully it's a "two steps forward, one step back" situation and not the other way around.
Zoho appears to have funded it along with a few other companies. Unfortunately, the Indian news page that reported on the launch is even worse than news sites in the US with popups, pop-ins, pop-overs, pop-rocks, etc, so I can't in good conscience link it here.
> Sirius and Onstar are two of the worst things about my car purchase. I wonder the degree to which these partnerships hurt these car brands for short term profit.

Well, you're stuck with the car by the time this kicks in...

And, apparently, the OnStar experience has just recently (<12 months) gotten quite horrific--apparently it used to be an online thing but that wasn't intrusive enough. I made the salesman sit with me while I was signing up (Okay, you want your commission from this, you get to spend your time.). Verbally. Over a shitty, high-latency, low bandwidth voice connection.

The salesman sat there visibly appalled. The salesmen got his manager. The manager got somebody else. etc. By the time I was done, I had 7 different people from the dealership listening with shock on their faces.

Big manager: "Ummm, yeah, this is a problem. We are strongly encouraging our customers sign up for something that makes them angry. That's ... not good."

Apparently, nobody at the dealership had experienced a signup in the last 12 months.
Anatomy of a Killing
I dont see "pretty clear guidelines".
I see an attempt to regulate complex human behaviour in a one dimensional document. it does not consider culture, tradition and upbringing in different regions. a friendly comment in one culture could be seen as unwelcoming or even sexist in another.

the same with "Focusing on what is best for the community" .. there is no single "best" and no single "community". its a melting pot of cultures, countries and people. what benefits one might not benefit the others.

this CoC is just an attempt to regulate what you cant regulate. maybe just replace it with "dont be an idiot, respect others and assume good intentions".
What part of the CoC requires you reveal anything? It simply says you can't treat people unprofessionally. Why do you want to treat people unprofessionally?
HN is all about using this technique to fight "SJW" culture, but when that one guy tried to change his license to prevent military use of his code, everyone went fucking apeshit. Nice double standard by the privileged, right-wing masses.

> Haskell being the exception due to the absence of quick and dirty mutability

Haskell has ST for mutable local variables, and for the truly "quick and dirty" cases there's always unsafePerformIO. What is it you're trying to express that wouldn't be handled by either of these options?
This is trolling by people who do not understand the GPLv2, and has happened before. Someone had the "brilliant idea" of "retroactively revoking" the GPLv2 a decade ago (2008): http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=2006062204552163

You cannot do it. The only way the right to distribute GPLv2 software gets revoked is for a specific party that distributes a GPLv2 licensed work in violation of the GPLv2 distribution terms.
I hope so much that we find out what the actual political game here is. That this kind of stuff happens now, shortly after Linus takes a break, is not a coincidence. That has been growing there for quite some time. But who and why? I don't know yet and am happy for any hint.
The difference for me is that, previously I knew I was multiple difficult steps away from having my browsing data uploaded to Google servers. That provided me a level of comfort that doesn't exist anymore. With the new method I'm one misclick away from giving everything to Google. Add on to this, Chrome has been increasingly pushy with its sign in prompts. There's no reason to think it won't eventually be equally pushy with its sync prompts.
Same, I just made the switch today because of this change. We'll see how it pans out.
Essentially they’re talking about using electrical stimulation to restore function in people with complete paralysis of the legs due to injury of the spinal cord in the lower back (lumbar region). In particular they’re focused on injury to the junction of the lumbar spine and sacrum. The result has been a restoration of function such that people who previously had no control over their lower body could (when lying on their side) make motions as though walking, and walk while suspended from a support rig.

More exciting is that after 43 weeks of this stimulation and comprehensive training, they were able to walk on a treadmill unassisted bearing their own weight! It sounds like balance issues and strength remain potentially problematic, but it’s still amazing. The last line of the introduction really sums it up:

To our knowledge, this is the first report of independent stepping enabled by task-specific training in the presence of EES by a human with complete loss of lower extremity sensorimotor function due to SCI.

SCI = Spinal Cord Injury
This is nothing to do with the algorithm, and all about the downsides of centralized administration.

If anything, it's just a case of political leaders failing to communicate and take action to garner support for doing something with abstract/non-existent benefits and concrete, likely, and easy to measure risk. They did use the arrogant and paternal approach of big tech company, though.

Based on the figures shared in the article, it smells like the district had an objective of saving some cash, while getting some attention for saving high schoolers from sleep deprivation. To meet the goal you have a few strawman arguments that would waste time or money, then settle on a solution that met the cost target, using difficult to argue with rationale like racial equity as an justification.

It would have made more sense to slowly introduce changes, and perhaps measure the stated outcome before disrupting everything. Given the really high cost of daycare in Boston, it seems unconscionable to force parents into situations where you need a much larger block of afterschool care.
The sound is not a requirement. You can complete it with a pencil and paper, mapping it out pretty quickly.
You have a valid point but you are using misleading data: Don't compare a RCE + SBX vs a RCE w/o SBX.
Firefox RCE + SBX is 80k, edge is 100k, safari is also 80k.

Another thing to take in consideration is the number of people that the exploit could be used against. For example, following this: http://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/world..., Chrome would have almost 68% of the browsing share whereas Firefox is only close to 10% and all the others even less. It'd be surprising this isn't taken account by Zerodium in their price calculations!

Riven did have a couple of annoying "click until you get it" spots (the pitch-black tunnel in the boiler room, for example), but yeah, the puzzles were much more organic.
Yes, but FHIR was the result of many years that had previously been wasted with HL7 v3, which was so convoluted that at some point some people in the community gave up on it and came up with FHIR to get things done. The clock did not start ticking in 2014. HL7 already wasted a lot of time and effort, to the very real detriment of many patients around the world.

ASK HN: As college drop-out from india. Am I eligible to work in EU?
I am a college dropout from India with 5+ Years of Industry experience as a software engineer, I have made contributions to many open source projects and I have held key leadership positions as part of my job and in the opensource community, I am part of. But I don't have a formal degree.

If I want to (relocate and) work in EU for a few years, what are my chances to get a job and visa?
I understand. I’m suggesting we could allow actual encryption if the messages were also signed such that the sender and recipient (but not the content) were known.

Abuse would require two licensed amateurs to cooperate to break the law and use the bands for commercial purposes. It would be easier to investigate suspected abuse (compared to unsigned encrypted messages, but not cleartext messages, of course)
IMO the worst attribute a manager can have is low self-esteem.

I've seen it manifest as having a chip on their shoulder. This can be toxic. I've seen rational design discussions into relentless arguments where the conclusion is "let's agree to disagree".

I've also seen it manifest as a boss that does not have the respect of his team and people just kinda do their own thing because he is not willing to confront people and hold them accountable to their work.

I've also these two types work together and it makes for a very dramatic, toxic and down right unprofessional work environment.

I had been using Chrome only for G Suite stuff (forced by my employer to maintain this account) and FF for everything else. This change resulted in the deletion of Chrome from my computer and a move to FF with Multi Account Containers set to segregate various services from each other.

I'm half thankful for the Chrome team doing this because it was just the push I needed to finally rid myself of Chrome once and for all.

I plan to do a clean re-install of the OS on my Mac as well to ensure that all vestiges of Google Chrome are indeed gone. I also took the opportunity to rid myself of Google Drive File Stream.
They may understand it on a superficial level, but do they understand it on a practical one?

Everyone "understands" that Facebook collects user data. It's the contextual understanding that makes techies uneasy.
It's just about respect. If you don't give your users a heads-up when you go to collect significant information about them, and then when they try to opt out, you cripple their browser, you do not respect them. I'm done with Google products.
Licensed amateurs would be required to register the public keys (not private keys, of course) they want to to sign messages on amateur bands.
On the contrary, these guidelines seem to be entirely clear, generally benign, and completely in-line with the general behaviour that anybody would expect in a professional environment.

Of course there are grey areas. There inevitably are with any set of guidelines. But what do you realistically expect them to contain? An itemised list of every action which is allowed or proscribed?

Instead, these are a general set of guidelines as to how a community should conduct itself – subject as any are to interpretation by those with influence – but a useful reference nonetheless. I'm frankly baffled at the idea that people find this hard to grasp.
Is the reworked App Store faster? I always wonder how they could make it so slow without any feedback while it navigates between pages.
I mostly agree with you, but the one area we sharply differ is in the reason for the ongoing inequities. I, like many people, grew up in poverty and managed to get out without all that much trouble. I did well in school in spite of lovely things like semi-regular drive by shootings and a mostly absent parent. Doing well in school meant I was able to get into college and, for better or for worse, the current predatory system of loans means there are practically no limits to the extent of 'free money' available to ensure that money was never an issue. I got a degree in a STEM major knowing I needed to make money to live a decent life, and suddenly the world was my oyster.

Nothing I did was particularly remarkable. And many of my peers had literally the exact same opportunities laid before them. Yet many of them failed to take advantage of them. One guy I was good friends with in school I ended up bumping into at a restaurant where he was waiting tables having ended up getting into drugs and also getting a girl pregnant. He was a smart kid and had a decent and supportive family. He was certainly more than able to know about the consequences of the lifestyle choices he was making. Yet he made them. What can you do?

There are definitely some cases where people fail to achieve because of things completely outside of their control, but in the vast majority of cases it's going to come down to these bad decisions. So why are people making these bad decisions? It doesn't even make sense to attribute it to race since the exact same problem expands outside of race. It even expands outside of class. Look a the Waltons for some of the biggest wastes of air on this planet, in spite of having more opportunities available to them than nearly every single living person today.

Or even look at other issues. Consider obesity. Everybody knows obesity is horrible for your health and isn't exactly going to do great things for your sex life. Yet people, of all classes, are eating and drinking themselves into obesity at rates like never before. And then lying to themselves. By contrast, I noticed myself getting a bit porky, significantly cut down my calorie intake, increased my physical activity, and now I'm in better shape than ever. Again something hardly unique, but why does it seem like so few people are doing these things? You see a problem - you formulate a solution - you execute. You fail, reformulate, and repeat until success.

The point of this all is that I do not think being disadvantaged is a significant cause of anything in and of itself. We live in a world that is not only more color blind than ever, but also has more opportunities than ever before. This is why I think that thinking based on working from the result backwards is going to lead to fundamentally broken solutions.
It's only creepy if you believe you're the only consumer. Say when others watch that video, they search for "battle of whatever-you're-talking-about". They do the hard work.

As for you watching a video and autocomplete coming in with the same topic, could it be that there was a surge of interest of that battle at the time? Otherwise it may be url analysis from other people searching through chrome.
>I think you'd have got a better response if you were clearer that that's what you were trying to do. "I don't know of a system but if we're to try and come up with one, [...]" or similar.

Perhaps you're right, though I'm sure the responses would also have been better if the system in question was an actual objective, technical system and not an ideological system. Decades of propaganda has caused many to automatically attack anyone who dares question the status quo economic aparatus.

anyone else except exist as a USELESS physical entity (females who are
not sweet young brides for men or mothers and just consume are not

they are superfluous in any other capacity, as a class)...

Now in hindsight, maybe the use of the term "anglo-american" should suggest that the author is not, himself, American, and so perhaps alt-right would not be the best term.
