Regulated does not mean required. The boundaries are federally fixed, as are the time offsets and the dates of the DST transition. States are free to choose whether or not to observe DST. (But they can't choose permanent Daylight time, or choose a different zone without federal permission; so permanent daylight plans tend to involve petitioning thenfeds to be moved one zone east and then adopting permanent standard time.)
And the same in reverse is true, our comm channel has gone out several times due to slack being out of our control and going down. IMO this is a wash.

I would return that.

As far as I am concerned, if the TV contains ADS, it is totally not worth owning. Maybe if they gave one to me.
One thing we could do, if we wanted, is to build a society focused on automating away jobs. Such a society would not rely on people to work for its function, but on the labor of machines.

In such a place, people would be free to work as hard as they want for additional gain. They could also, however, take as much time off as they desired to go to school, learn on their own, spend more time with loved ones, or just relax and explore life in their own way.

In such a society, I think many people would be motivated to give their labor to open source projects. I think the machines that run such a society would necessarily be open source, and many people could give back to society by contributing to the design and improvement of the machines that provide for us all.

What do you all think of this? Would you want to live in a place like that?

To update the terminology - the RedHat model is freemium - you give away something to market the part that you sell.

The problem with freemium is always how much you give away and how much you charge for. One idea that I have not yet seen is to do the split in the time dimention - sell licenses that convert into a Free Software or Open Source license after a year or two.

I think instead of broadly criminalizing, imposing steep fines for various hostile-to-the-individual advertising tactics would be more fair and effective:

Like, make impose a $1/impression fee on every ad that uses:

- Sex to sell

It's not that there's a fault in evolution's design so much as that evolution doesn't really care that much that people die of cancer. Whether or not it could be possible to create a non-senescent humanoid species by evolution evolution has a fixed budget of complexity it can work with given germline mutation rates and the selective pressure our species is under. And reducing germline mutation would mean we would evolve more slowly in the face of new selective pressures like new diseases.

People are working on ways to end cancer. Aubrey de Grey has a plan[1] which, unlike his others for fighting aging, I think is totally crazy but hey at least someone is working on it. But its certainly not something that could evolve in nature.

This is not new, and is not unique to China. Any country with intelligence units, like the US, is using data mining to identify and control their citizens. It has become fashionable lately to imply that China is the only country doing these things, or somehow doing it in larger scale. Has everyone forgotten what Snowden revealed?

Sure, but they can be removed in a few seconds.

Edit: I feel I should add, in fairness, that this has to be done (the removal) per account. I suspect that there is a system directory somewhere that is used as a template but I have not so far bothered to figure out where it is. I guess I've just gotten too accustomed to the 'Unpin from Start Menu' dance.
Don't know why you're downvoted. It's very easy for a person to rationalize sitting at home by telling himself he is holding out for a job that will "pay what I'm worth" but not doing anything concrete to make that happen.

When I was in my late teens/20s I never thought moving back home was an acceptable option. Working at McDonalds or delivering pizza and living with roomates felt more honorable than moving back in with my parents.

Yes, but you're going to need to have the political capital to ratchet down the work week and split productivity gains with labor and capital. That does not exist yet, and without it, the advances you speak of will be used to funnel more wealth to the top.

My FastParse (https://www.lihaoyi.com/fastparse/) parser combinator library does this; by default it runs without error logging, just giving you an error position, but if something fails you can ask it to re-do the parse keeping track of additional metadata to give you a nice error message with what tokens could have succeeded and a stack trace telling you why wants those tokens.

Tracing errors
slows things down about 2x, which is why it isnt on by default, on the assumption that most parses are successful

I'm asking how much of the population can learn to program.

I once read that you need an IQ above 100 to learn it and be effective with it, I just don't remember how much above 100 it was. 110 or 115 or something...

On the other hand, programming gets easier by the day.

Doesn't this mean that middle-men are just being inserted who are absorbing some of the productivity (earnings) of the worker?

It seems like this would only make economic sense if the end company isn't using them on a regular basis, so overall efficiency goes up by multiplexing an employee out to multiple companies as needed. It seems implied by "Rent-A-Guard", but I'm musing out-loud. I haven't had a chance to read your article yet.

Overall it would be better for the students and it fixes safety concerns, which I agree is a weak argument but 'for the children' is always a great political card to play. The issue is I don't think making the school day start later will ever get support from teachers, so it won't be considered for most school districts even if its better for the students.
The wider costs of people lacking media literacy and the ability to think critically are harder to measure, but I would suspect them to be vast.

I think the market should demand and suppliers offer a better baseline of security in prevention and turnarounds for fixes. The market mostly doesn't pay for better security. Suppliers mostly don't care either. So, most software is intentionally vulnerable with users/buyers accepting and rewarding that. That means 0-days are coming no matter what, esp if development processes don't improve. Publishing a 0-day seems at least no more unethical than the demand and supply side intentionally putting them there in the first place. I've actually started thinking security people should cash in on the practice in a way that funds secure alternatives like I said on Lobste.rs version of this article:

"There’s no regulations or liability. The market largely doesn’t care. They outsource security work, even stuff as easy as 15 min of AFL, to unpaid labor that has to beg for payouts that are often below market rate for paid, security professional. If they refuse to do secure development, I say just publish the vulnerabilities or sell them to Zerodium. Also, keep recommending secure alternatives to common, vulnerable software.

I did have another idea when looking at the fact that high-security software is always too expensive for most to buy or sold/free at a loss. Companies like Zerodium pay a fortune for vulnerabilities in software. It’s always the same software, too, whose developers keep adding preventable vulnerabilities. Usually a company making piles of money off it, too. So, sell vulnerabilities in those apps which already have red flags for security-conscious users, make a bit of money for yourself out of that, and spend the rest (eg majority) on developing secure alternatives. For example, selling vulnerabilities in Nginx to carefully extend and tool-check lwan, in consumer routers to fund an OpenBSD-based router, and/or iOS to fund HardenedAndroid (or new mobile OS). Stuff like that.

Hardly anyone will pay for real security. They’ll pay for vulnerabilities, though. Sad it comes to ideas like that but it’s one of the only ones that easily generates the required revenue."

> In a capitalistic society, The Market = God.

Enough with the puerile poetry. In a capitalist society, the market is people like you and me who like to decide for themselves what's in their own best interests.

The market fixes problems because people likeyou and me always find a balance between what they supply and demand, and what trade-offs they are willing to accept. There is no magic or witchcraft.

> Why take on the same burdens your fathers did when little to none of that existed?

I can only offer my perspective - I take on those burdens because I want what my fathers had. I want a stable family, a wife who is able to stay home and care for and teach our children, a comfortable retirement, and the ability to help both my extended family and my community at large.

Still, I don't disagree with your comment overall. It seems that I am a bit of an outlier among my peers to want those things. I don't blame people for deciding that this path in life isn't worth it to them, and that they'd prefer to walk another.

For that matter, if hadn't met my wife so early in life, I'm not sure I'd be looking to get married and start a family now. I'd probably be living a minimal existence in a van or small RV in California, working at FAANG, and putting back as much of my pay as I could. A few years of that and I'd be financially able to move back to rural America to live a comfortable life and never have to work again.

Well sure, but maybe instead of changing the schedule of all schools in the state (which would in turn affect the schedules of parents etc.) it would be easier to just not change the clock?

Using the statement 'well maybe school shouldn't start so early then' as an argument in favour of making schools start earlier seems rather contradictory.

What is the advantage of threads over just more specific top level channels. e.g. in their example why not #annual-summit-name-tags etc. One immediate thing slack does wrong is it makes channels too hard to make and destroy and leave and join, but if that was fixed...

Are people still going on about how Thiel taking down Gawker is some chilling story about the elite silencing journalists?

First they published a story of debatable newsworthiness: Hulk Hogan having sex on tape.

When they were ordered by a judge to take down the story, they stood defiant (the famous "A judge told us to take down our Hulk Hogan sex tape post. We won't." post: https://twitter.com/gawker/status/327537977922318337?lang=en).

Then someone came along who actually had the resources to see the whole thing play out in court (a funny reversal of the old "this giant corporation has the money to outlast any court case, don't bother Mr. Little Guy"), they rightfully lost, and STILL the bitching continues over something that could have been prevented entirely if Gawker had simply listened to that judge's orders. They're not martyrs, they're idiots.

7 figure personal income for the owners of a services company is not unheard of.

The owner might elect to keep money in the business account instead of transferring it to a personal one for tax reasons. If you are fully in control of the business there isn't much difference. For example you can buy a house with company money and lease it to yourself for $100/month. This would not register as profit for you or the business.
Love it. I wrote a blog post about a subscription notification business I started called Amazing Airfare.

I gotcha. I am focusing on do-it-yourself forms that other legal form providers may not have -- and designing these forms for digital businesses.
This is great in some cases, but can also be really dangerous.

It's structuring the entire company around the selection bias of people who complain about your product, and not focusing on the hypothetical majority of users who never have issues with it, who may outnumber the group of complainers by 10x or 100x.

At that point the right thing to do is to pay way less attention to things that represent a support load, and iterate on already working features used by the 10x or 100x.

Sometimes it's the best thing to do, sometimes it's a horrible idea. It's not some no-brainer that software development in general should be structured like this.
I visited an infosec trade show recently, you wouldn't believe how many of these boxes are offered to 'improve' corporate security... Most of these boxes will break security chains, spoof DNS responses, require self-signed certs, etc. It's garbage.

Kinda reminded me of 'the box' from the Silicon Valley TV-show. I guess corporate managers will prefer something tangible over actual good practices.
The real problem with the time change is it happens over a single night.

When you're actually living in nature, waking up with the sunrise, you will gradually wake up earlier or later as the seasons shift.

If our time changed gradually on a more natural pace it would be a whole lot less disruptive and people wouldn't be losing daylight from their lives. We have the technology today to make that happen. If everyone's clocks are computerized and sycnhronized, we wouldn't even notice as minutes are quietly added/removed by the system across many days.

It isn't a trick. It's why pharmaceutical trials have a placebo control, not a nothing-control.

There's been studies done on the effect of different placebos: bigger pills, with bigger markings, administered by professionals in professional settings etc work better.

My pet theory is that, since almost all medicine merely assists the body's own healing (e.g. a plaster cast doesn't heal the bone), the belief of safety and being looked after is enough for your body to switch resources away from dealing with a threat towards healing. (You can't afford to heal while your attacker is still around.)

A placebo signals safety.
Nobody is denying that other countries do it too
Sorry, but it looks like China is just playing catch up on this. The US intelligence already has information on pretty much every American, their social networks, phone calls, consumer habits, etc. And through Facebook, Google and others, they also have information about mosts people around the world. Even if China is able to track everyone inside Chine they're still at a disadvantage compared to the US covert operations.
