> What beggars believe is that in the novel, 1984, you didn't have a choice if you want a televisor in your home, or not.

Actually that was true of government workers and perhaps all of the middle classes but not the workers (“proles”). A key plot element of the story is Winston and Julia heading into the parole areas to (in vain) evade the oversight of Big Brother.

The implication is that under such regimes the workers supposedly believe in the regime (and in the idea that they control it, rather than the other way around) so strongly that oversight is unnecessary. It’s related to why trade unions are illegal in China (and were in the Soviet Union): they are “unnecessary” as the whole government is supposedly the worker’s party.

Orwell was a committed socialist (despite/because of) his colonial service and some of his sneers at “sandal-wearing vegetarians in bad suits” in Wigan Pier. But by the end of WWII he had realized that the socialist regimes were in many ways quite similar to the fascist ones and so his last two novels were reactions to that. But all his writing was from a Fabian socialist-idealist perspective.
I have an iPhone 6 and it's now slow as shit. What did they do with the last update? My battery is in great shape, but the phone is just ... slow. I correlate the slowness with iOS 11.
Apple didn't hand over any encryption keys. They are stored on Chinese servers, per Chinese law.

Apple can't legally protect Chinese users from their government the way it can in this country--for now at, least. But Apple can protect Chinese users from other malicious actors.

From Apple's point of view, it was either refuse to follow the law and leave all Chinese users to the general security and privacy shitshow that is what every other phonemaker has to offer, or, play by the rules and give them something that's better in every use case except for the one where their government wants to hurt them.

Your argument is that locking your door can't stop a SWAT team from breaking into your house, therefore people selling locks don't care about keeping your house locked. It's a weirdly simplistic and uninformed argument coming from someone who claims to be tech-literate.
Transcript: Digital Transformation Agency on Blockchain to Australian Senate
I heard this guy on "Your Call" which is produced by NPR yesterday. One of the things he said that really got my attention is that he said to get a seat at a TED talk, you need to pay $5000, which really limits the attendance at TED talks to the wealthy. Another thing was, the speaker is censored--he or she cannot use the word "inequality", but can only use the word "poverty". That just blows my mind. Inequality is one of the ways economics is changing with Thomas Piketty who points out how inequality has increased way more in United States than in Europe since the 1970s. To not be able to point to that as one of the problems facing the world and to claim you want to change the world is madness.
>Not updating the os does not make a phone work less well, it simply prevents you from using new features, which is fine. What apple did worsened the product.

These updates often contain security fixes. You risk by not updating on time.
the european union has free movement of labor, so you should be able to just employ them just as if you would employ someone living in a different city in your own country.

While Aptoide is probably not the ultimate answer, Google does not have a leg to stand on here given the amount of censorship they have been practicing on the app store by banning apps such as Gab.ai. Irregardless of whether you agree with the content on Gab, they are not perpetuating viruses, harming the system etc..

The fact that Google can majorly affect your business by denying you access to the app store is a real problem. Apple is guilty of this too and these are problems with the entire mobile space.
I agree. Its doesn't seems like that big of a deal to cite a web article. What's causing trouble is the stereotype among the research institutions to not trust/value communities like 4chan. I am glad that this is being highlighted.

No need for a filemanager for in place file renaming. For that I'd just use curly bracket in bash or zsh.

e.g.

mv /path/to/file{-old-name,-new-name}.txt

which expands to:

mv /path/to/file-old-name.txt /path/to/file-new-name.txt

So use tab completion to get your path then go back and stick your curly brackets into it as needed. Oh and it works for things like git branch renaming or anything else you do in the terminal.
I'm using the same, but I'm looking around for alternatives after I received a couple of false alerts (about 3-4 over the last year) from them. Still, overall a good service.

This would result in most H1B allocations on east/west coast, where salaries (and cost of living) are relatively higher.
I think this is already the case, but enforcing it by salary will result in a wider gap. Companies operating in low "cost of living" areas, will not be able to get skilled workers on H1Bs.

In my experience what matters is the quality of the code regardless of the paradigm used. A well written piece of functional Python with comments and documentation will be much easier to understand than poorly written OOP.

FP is also quite idiomatic. Pythons list comprehensions are quite powerful, and the libraries I mentioned in my previous comment are all part of the standard library. There are third party libraries that attempt to make Python even more functional.

A side benefit? It's been USA's primary competitive advantage for decades - brain draining the cream of the crop from a 5 billion population.

It's incredibly naive to think it was ever unintentional.
People voted it up, therefore it belongs here.
The problem is that pay isn't uniform across skilled labor demand, and the purpose of the H1B program is to fulfill demand in the economy.

If you set a quota and give to the highest bidder, you're going to see private sector executives and financial roles being filled in cities with high costs of living and competitive wages. Salary is a function not only of demand but also location and industry.

This will discriminate against rural and middle America by depriving them of the skilled labor that they need to survive.
If I'm understanding you correctly, then imv[1] is a great tool for this. 'imv $filename' pops you in to a readline enabled prompt to edit $filename. Given that it is readline you can even add extra options in your ~/.inputrc to add additional features to it, I have mappings for custom dir prefixes as an example.

It also comes with qmv, which will pop open an editor for you to perform inplace edits on filenames. Which is kinda like dired as an emacs comparison, at least if you squint an awful lot.

Add to that Kelo v. City of New London, which allowed the taking of private property to give to another private party.

As an odd bit of trivia, the dissent to Penn Central Transportation Co. v. New York City was authored by then-associate Justice Rehnquist and joined by J.P. Stevens. The opinion of the court in Kelo was delivered by Stevens, and Rehnquist, as chief justice, joined in the dissent. Rehnquist stood fast on preventing the restriction of the takings clause, while Stevens relaxed his stance.

How is that different than now? Larger companies can already afford to pay people more and smaller companies have to compete in salary.

Outside of the west coast and FAANG companies, salaries aren’t that crazy. I haven’t seen any difference in comp based on company size in most of the US. They all have to compete for the same talent pool.
rsync was indeed a dramatic "this should not be possible" feat.
But the way it uses rolling hashes is not the simplest possible. One side sends hashes of fixed-size chunks, the other scans input for rolling hash matches, which only works for 2 sides and requires non-cachable CPU work on at least one side.

There is an even simpler idea at the core of many modern backup programs (eg. bup, attic, borg)! Possibly pioneered in `gzip --rsyncable`, not sure.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_hash#Content-based_sli...
Each side slices files into chunks at points where rolling hash % N == 0, giving chunks of variable size averaging N.
These points usually self-synchronize after insertions and deletions.
This allows not just comparing 2 files for common parts, but also deduplicated storage of ANY number of files as lists of chunk hashes, pointing to just one copy of each chunk!
As btilly has mentioned a few times, ocean acidification is a major problem because atmospheric CO2 has risen so quickly. It takes a few thousand years for the atmosphere, the upper portion of the ocean, and the deep ocean to reach equilibrium. There is an especially elevated CO2 concentration and corresponding lowered pH in the upper layers because there hasn't been time to reach equilibrium with the larger volumes of water in the deep ocean. These upper layers of the ocean, sadly, are also where the vast majority of ocean life and photosynthetic activity exist.

Adding alkalinity to the oceans via accelerated silicate weathering can protect sea life against acidification. More alkalinity in the ocean also increases its absorption capacity for CO2, which reduces warming feedback effects caused by radiative forcing from CO2 in the atmosphere. The ocean contains ~60x as much inorganic carbon as the pre-industrial atmosphere; to draw down the content of the present atmosphere to pre-industrial levels, it would require increasing the dissolved inorganic carbon content of the oceans by less than 1%. Converting some of it to solid carbonate minerals is a nice-to-have but not especially critical, because average residence time of dissolved inorganic carbon is about 200,000 years, which will take us well beyond the age of fossil fuels.

Which language? Which grammar? American Standard? The Queen's English? Shakespeare (in which case I think the singular 'they' is perfectly acceptable)?

Many people, over many years, have been "hit" for "incorrect grammar" on very dubious linguistic grounds. Sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth century English grammarians have a lot of sins to answer for: splitting infinitives (English isn't Latin and never was), for example.

Me, I've discovered I rather like Sumerian, which IIUC has two genders: (a) humans and gods and (b) everything else.

I'll just leave you with Language Log (http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/).
https://public.oed.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-singular-they...

> Former Chief Editor of the OED Robert Burchfield, in The New Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1996), dismisses objections to singular they as unsupported by the historical record. Burchfield observes that the construction is ‘passing unnoticed’ by speakers of standard English as well as by copy editors, and he concludes that this trend is ‘irreversible’. People who want to be inclusive, or respectful of other people’s preferences, use singular they. And people who don’t want to be inclusive, or who don’t respect other people’s pronoun choices, use singular they as well. Even people who object to singular they as a grammatical error use it themselves when they’re not looking, a sure sign that anyone who objects to singular they is, if not a fool or an idiot, at least hopelessly out of date.

Just for the record, it's not me calling you a fool or an idiot or hopelessly out of date, it's the former Chief Editor of the Oxford English Dictionary. The only debate here is the politically charged one with fake grammar authority that you have made up in your head.

Ask HN: How does unlimited PTO work out in practice?
Many tech companies offer unlimited PTO as a benefit these days. However, there are rumors that this ends up working out worse than standard PTO since there's guilt with taking too much time off.
There is already a “prevailing wage” thing you have to meet, that varies by region, so it could be done as percentage above the prevailing wage.

Peer review is no prerequisite for citation.

The first paper I looked at for an example (at the top of today's "Recent" papers in PRD), cites three arXiv entries, out of 91 references. https://journals.aps.org/prd/references/10.1103/PhysRevD.98....

Successful peer review in an upstanding journal is a signal of relative reliability and importance, but it is not the arbiter of usefulness.

One thing that is incorrect here is how the Republican position on immigration is portrayed. They want comprehensive immigration reform that specifically allows skilled immigrants to come to the US, do away with the lottery system and eliminate exemptions for those that broke immigration laws. Basically, most Republicans would prefer a system that is more like Canada's or Switzerland's, where you need to earn your way in.

Here's one site that better explains the Republican position:
https://www.republicanviews.org/republican-views-on-immigrat...

"Republicans believe that family and skill should be prioritized when granting citizenship to those who go through the proper legal channels to enter the country. Priority should be given to children and spouses of immigrants that are already legally in the country. They believe the government should emphasize the skills that our economy needs most when determining eligibility, and that the Labor Certification Program should be overhauled. These two measures together would help match qualified workers with work that is in urgent need of filling positions in the country. Despite accusations of being anti-immigration, Republicans do understand the value that immigrants bring to this country, when entering via legal methods. In the Republican Platform adopted at the 2000 GOP convention, the Republican Party declared that it supports increasing the number of H-1B visas, to ensure that high-tech workers are provided to specialized positions, as well as expanding the H-2A program for temporary agricultural workers."
The choice of word is interesting: encouraging immigration of skilled workers to the US has the benefit of preventing them from participating in the development of their home country.

Short term, sure it's beneficial for the US, but I don't think it's a good idea to reflect in a vacuum or only thinking short term. Emergent countries being able to develop is beneficial for everybody.
Perhaps this could be offset by using something like the GS Locality Pay[0] index?

The supply / demand in the economy is specifically determined by the salary. If the demand grows high enough so that salaries go up, then you can obviously compete with other highly paid professionals. There is no reason Tata and Infosys should be hiring 70k contractors to do shitty jobs.
Replying to your lower comment:

>You could argue that it's been in debated use, but not common use. Otherwise there wouldn't be a debate...

This is just like people claiming "ain't" is improper English, or that you shouldn't split infinitives.

Any kind of "debate" is irrelevant because language prescriptivism is nonsense. There's no authority on high to say whether something is correct or not. If many people use a construct, it is correct because they are communicating with it.
Is there a middle ground where new buildings could be made with old-school aesthetics? I understand there is a strange Ship of Theseus situation here, but it seems that if the aesthetics are the concern, there shouldn't be any reason why a larger capacity building could be built in the old style.

By using something like indulgences as an example, you're making a false equivalency. It's certainly possible to call it progress if you are RECOVERING from a fall. You start high, dip down, progress back up to where you were. Indulgences did not exist in the early church and didn't even exist outside of the European church when they were a thing. In that context, the recovery of what was true was not progress, it was repair.

But to imply that from the BEGINNING Christians were incorrect on something as important as sacramental theology and the role of music in sacramental theology is a completely separate claim with severe implications, as I described above.

Focusing on story points is not Scrum, so why blame Scrum? Rather it's clearly delineated that a Scrum team product owner's main job is to maximize the value delivered through development to the customer. 50 story points means nothing unless the PO has prioritized work that's going to yield the most value to the client.

Scrum isn't broken. It's literally all laid out in a 16 page document. Nowhere will you find mention of story points.

Stop blaming the framework for someone's bastardization of what said framework is meant to achieve.
