From the historical point of view, this heavy decoupling is associated with microkernels which fell out of favor with the rise of the Linux kernel. I think in this day and age, modern programming languages could make building a microkernel that doesn't fall prey to the shortcomings of MINIX a possibility.
You're being downvoted for some reason, but the point on morality and capitalism is sound.

For examples you might have been better choosing cases where the production rather than use by customers is problematic.

Radium paint and dials, asbestos, prior to 20th century regulations food and medicine fraud and adulteration so endemic that finding just the correct product was almost impossible. Which is what led those regulations in the first place.

This is extremely debatable. One could argue the exact opposite. I wholeheartedly disagree completely. One could presume you attribute boom and bust to him but stability came after the arrival of his theories.

Infact our problems with trade deficits and imbalances at the moment can be attributed to his defeat by Harry Dexter White in the implementation of Bretton Woods in negotiation (Bancor).
Not sure about a recommendation but stay away from T480s. My roommate has had so many issues with his that it has driven him mad. He's had so many things fail and had to send it in for repairs that he's used my old MBP more than he's used his new T480s. First, he had issues with battery (it stopped charging), then the internal keyboard failed (wouldn't get recognized) and now one of his USB ports doesn't work and his trackpad intermittently stops working. He still hasn't sent it in for a repair and is contemplating just asking Lenovo for a refund.

This is not an isolated incident... lots of issues with some new Thinkpad models. Make sure you do lots of research before you buy any of them.

Agreed on the stdlib concept. I'm sure people are working on it, the benefit would be massive. Just the amount of mobile data transfer that could be saved by 1MB of software pre-distributed to all browsers would be huge.

I wonder if anyone is trying to do it based on the javascript integrity hashes. In theory, if you took the top 100 javascript libraries and established a blessed build pipeline that would produce reference builds that would be bundled to the browser, and if anyone loaded a resource with an integrity hash matching the browser's pre-installed versions, it could just load from disk instead. That would give people who can tolerate less frequent library releases the ability to use all that functionality without networking related page load costs, and would provide a fallback since CDN's could host the file anyway if the browser doesn't have it.

Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or any dictator that's ever lived seem like better candidates for erasure. At least with them, you'd be saving the lives of the people they each malevolently murdered. You'd have to be clutching narrow-mindedly onto some economic dogma and view Keynes as a heretic to choose him for erasure.

I hate to be pulling this thread into politics on HN, but you mentioned sanctions so I believe you speak about political sanctions.

All 19 hijackers of 911 attacks were Saudis. We have sanctioned many countries and murdered 100,000 innocent children and civils in last Iraq war that most americans still don’t know the reason we invaded, yet Suadis remain off the radar. Now the greencard holder got in altercation at the embassy and ended up treated with bonesaw, meanwhile POTUS tells we invested 1B in their contracts so we have to be careful what we say. On the top of that he has multiple private businesses at the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars at stake with Saudis. Tell me again about some sanctions against them, please?
The final artwork was a bigger time commitment so you would stop and think about the message for much longer before you committed to the final rendering. I think now we go straight to modelling and graphics programs which speed up the process and are much more flexible about allowing you to go back and edit. This gives people a feeling they can change the final output much more easily and so there is not so much pressure to get the information design concept right for how you convey the information before you start creating the final image.
Almost all of the tools used to do legal stuff can also be used to do illegal stuff. You think scam websites are deep down built on Linux and Apache like everything else?

I understand your stance from an end users perspective completely.

However, it's not hard to reason why people whose livelihoods depend on being able to track users and increase the value of their ad inventory would be happy about this.

People are unusually good at separating their personal interests from consumer interests. I've observed this emotion arise in many entrepreneurs first hand, be they in the brick retail, or conventional energy or obsolete auto parts, it's common for people to be happy about events that benefit their livelihood even when it has a negative impact on humanity or that ecosystem.

Unfortunately... the full details are likely behind the paywall. Charlie is usually "fully correct" behind a paywall, but the "teasers" are less accurate and may have a bit of hype or hypotheticals in them.

Which is fine: I realize he writes like that so that he can get paid. But still, it means you have to take the rumors he hands out "for free" with a grain of salt.

Chances are: "10nm is cancelled" is closer to "some version of 10nm has been cancelled: Intel may be making progress on EUV or some other technology which they will THEN call 10nm in the future." But those details are what matters with regards to Intel's Ice Lake release plans, as well as AMD's plan for Zen2 / EPYC Rome in the upcoming years.

Since Windows 7?

Quick Access (aka Favorites) has been around since XP and default on in Explorer since Vista, though yes some of the views have changed after 7, this particular bug is possible in Vista and 7.

The Windows Explorer being an "object explorer" that doesn't necessarily show physical objects but can also show logical objects that are "folder-like" is a design/architecture that dates back all the way to Windows 95 (and has always been seen in places like the old Control Panel).

"Gradually turned into since Windows 7" is pretty much "has always been since Windows 95", sorry to say.
This is an awesome product, but you are going to have to spend a lot of advertising money to reach the right customers. Reason being, most companies either go the PaaS/SaaS route, or go full open source with paid support. My guess is most of your potential customers have already had to pivot to one or the other. Your only shot is people who are still in the early stages of developing their product and people who are looking to pivot to a different monetization model. You have to sell to your users the idea that in 2018 it is possible to police and track license keys and go with that sort of business model (obviously it is possible, but it's still a sell). Remember, most of your customers were pirating software left and right and using keygens 10 years ago when they were in high school / college, which creates a subconscious bias against license keys in general among the current generation of techies. That's why almost no products use them these days.

I would also suggest offering the product completely for free, and then charging over a certain number of keys. Maybe for 100-1000 installs you charge $5/month, then $25/month for 1000-10000, $50/month for 10000-100000, etc. You could also go with the $5/month gets you 0-1000 keys model, and then scale from there. That option will cash in more on the (large number) of people launching failed apps that get under 1000 users.
Voyage to Mercury
People have been predicting that since before Adam Langley wrote "Why Not Dane In Browsers", and making excuses about the keys that are there. Nobody denies that a 1024 bit RSA key is less bad than an MD5 certificate; it's still quite bad, and, personally, I'd argue, the worst kind of bad --- the kind of flaw that motivates large capital and operational expenditures at intelligence agencies.
This is awesome I hope they invest some of that into rebranding as I do believe Repl.it is probably the worst name for anything.
It almost sounds like a nefarious file format or like some software company for the early 90s; maybe that’s the vibe they’re going for.
Even the word Replit looks like “reptile”. I guess it’s very developer-y it’s just grammatically grating on the nerves.
In some states, definitely in the past and perhaps even today though I haven't kept abreast of the law, there were different ages deemed legal for a relationship based on the genders involved. To defend the statistic is to, likely unknowingly, defend the discrimination the laws hold in both structure and application. I am not saying one should discount all cases covered under the law, but it does deserve some context given the sometimes sordid history of the laws.
Bad news Amazon closed related associate account again.
On the first point: quite a few DNSSEC records use ECC keys, and have for a while. If your hypothesis holds, why not switch the root 2048 bit RSA keys, and those TLD-level 1024 bit keys, for ECC keys?

On the second: MD5 is one example, but the browser blacklists SHA1 as well. It also blacklists CAs that behaved poorly in the past, and refuses to use vulnerable ciphers.
Please don't take threads on off-topic flamewar tangents and especially not with slurs like "latin culture sucks". (I realize it's more complex when talking about your own culture but that makes no difference to the flamebait effect.)

>correcting the biases, conscious or not, that have led to the poor diversity of our communities

What you're missing is a proof that the only reason a community is not 'diverse' is due to 'biases' within the community. You will find this is a very hard thing to prove as a general concept. Reminds me of the following paragraph:

>For the record, here is a small sample of other communities where black people are strongly underrepresented:

>Runners (3%). Bikers (6%). Furries (2%). Wall Street senior management (2%). Occupy Wall Street protesters (unknown but low, one source says 1.6% but likely an underestimate). BDSM (unknown but low) Tea Party members (1%). American Buddhists (~2%). Bird watchers (4%). Environmentalists (various but universally low). Wikipedia contributors (unknown but low). Atheists (2%). Vegetarian activists (maybe 1-5%). Yoga enthusiasts (unknown but low). College baseball players (5%). Swimmers (2%). Fanfiction readers (2%). Unitarian Universalists (1%).

>Can you see what all of these groups have in common?

>No. No you can’t.

The problem is that "we" would eventually be "Amazon Monsanto Corporation". People can accept inequality when it is somewhat plausible that it is necessary, but transitioning to what would essentially be a kingdom would be a challenge for a lot of countries.

Not surprising, given that back then, a) patriotism seem to have mattered more, and b) that's how you got funding for ambitious - and thus expensive - projects.

If the repository README isn't clear, please let me know what more you would like to see there. From that document:

> hyde does not produce pretty-printed output. Rather, it produces well structured Markdown files that contain YAML front-matter. These files can then be consumed by other tools (like Jekyll) to customize the structure and layout of the final documentation.
> frees up those who would have worked farm jobs to do higher-valued labor in the economy

That's the ideal, in reality too many of these people live in areas where there are no other opportunities. They are also often fed the line that the job can be brought back.

Put simply, we've observed generational shifts to higher-valued jobs in urban areas. A farmer, coal miner , etc who loses their job today is unlikely to re-skill & move to other industries
The Social Selling Review – Page 4
> No wonder people leaning towards the Asperger/autistic spectrum of brutal honesty would state that; such is their nature.

Actually, it is not "their nature". The nature of people on the spectrum is to have difficulty understanding social conventions. Having a system whereby social conventions are explicitly spelled out in detail is likely to help people on the spectrum adhere to them, because they no longer have to be inferred.

People on the spectrum deserve understanding (like everyone else) when they break social norms or say hurtful things due to not understanding that they're doing anything wrong. When they know that what they're doing is not acceptable, they are as responsible as anyone else who knowingly acts like a jerk.

I'm also highly skeptical of the idea anyone outside of a tiny minority would be unaware that "garbage" is an intentionally insulting term, especially given that it is a metaphor. Even "completely fails to meet standards" is vastly better and more descriptive (outside of the emotional content of "garbage").

It is an interesting exercise to imagine a state sized "farm state". Essentially you'd have one city (the capital of the state) consisting of folks who administered the state, people who maintained farm equipment, farm operators, and a police force for patrolling the state to protect the farms from people who might trespass or try to steal crops. "Farmers" would likely be more like DevOps folks who would sit in an office with a few dozen screens showing the equipment status, perhaps views from the various pieces of equipment as it was driving around the various plots, maintenance status, etc.

Efficient, pleasant, and dystopian all that the same time.
Bah. Difficult is the word. When someone says something is impossible is just means they don't know how to solve the problem.
>Forcing people off of land and into cities, thus forcing them to buy food with labor, is one of the primary means by humanity has been subverted from achieving its real potential.

it is completely opposite. The fact that people can get a food to eat in exchange for the product of their thinking instead of being forced to work in the fields doing manual labor is what has been driving our civilization forward. An ancient/medieval agricultural village would have no use for Einstein whereis the modern city based technology civilization was happy to feed him just for Gedanken experiments.

“We”?
That "rational product" you're looking for is a traditional loan with interest—which in the end is just a way of renting money. All these other arrangements are just attempts to mimic the utility and function of a loan while avoiding the term "interest" in order to technically comply with the bare letter of various religious restrictions. If you aren't bound by those rules then there is no point in taking on all that extra complexity.

I haven't read much about NVC, so I can't speak to how the term is used there.

But if it's anything like Crucial Conversations, they define/analyze conversational violence in a lot of detail. I thought it was a really interesting read. CC defines conversational violence as things like labeling, misrepresentation, accusations, defensiveness, getting angry, etc. I'd assume that NVC probably has a similar definition.

I thought that the use of the word 'violence' was kind of weird in that context at first, but my perception really changed as I thought about it more. The intent is to damage the other person, and to win by beating them - not really so different than physical violence.
Oh cool!

How do you link machines to bondage? If you look at slavery from Sparta to the American South it's often had a large component of agricultural labor. Even things like serfdom where the serfs were nominally free but tied to working the land it they were doing agricultural work.
That's why I'd be in favor of making vertical farming more prevalent- by making farmers physically closer to the coastal cities they serve the rural areas will be starved economically. At this point in time, it's my conviction that retribution for the present tyranny of the minority will best come through technological means rather than warfare or politics.
