Even if we assume that "UFO" means "space alien", it doesn't seem puzzling to me.

Answer 1: selection bias. Obviously the only ones that people see at night are those which have lights. We aren't going to hear about the ones that people don't see because they're dark.

Answer 2: alien apathy. You've flown a million light years to spy on some great apes who aren't even sure you exist. Who cares if a few of them get flashed with bright lights, while you're looking around? They don't even have flying saucers yet, so it's not like they could chase you.

Driving rage, yep, I lived there for a long time. It's one of the specific experiences I keep referring back to when I need to re-evaluate my state of mind.

People that cut you off just have no awareness of the world around them, and whilst it's dangerous and shouldn't happen (despite the fact it happens so frequently), it shouldn't affect your emotional state. It shouldn't make you angry and aggressive for any length of time because your emotional state won't change the situation or the other person, it just ruins part of your day - don't let it.

The other side of the driving rage coin is that I've made mistakes whilst driving, and in those (very rare) situations I'm glad someone else was able to react quickly enough that it didn't turn into something worse.

There's also the familiar driving situation when someone else rages at you for, seemingly, no reason. I've learnt to actually enjoy that because I figure that they're having a worse time than me. Poor angry person letting their emotions dictate their life. Pity is healthier than anger.

Expectations are the cause of many an argument. Didn't bring home flowers on Valentine's Day and cop it from both barrels from the missus? Mis-aligned expectations. Assume the worst and anything better is a win :)

The ability to self-analyse is key, I think. Why do I feel this way? What caused it? How can I change it next time? Treat the cause, not the symptoms.

It all takes effort though, gotta make it a habit.
PSA: The Supreme Court of California recently published a key decision on independent contractor versus employee classification, adopting an "ABC" test akin to the one adopted in Massachusetts.

http://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/archive/S222732.PDF

> [A] worker is properly considered an independent contractor to whom a wage order does not apply only if the hiring entity establishes: (A) that the worker is free from the control and direction of the hirer in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of such work and in fact; (B) that the worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity's business; and (C) that the worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as the work performed for the hiring entity.

Right, but now you're running Kubernetes for a single server, which is the very definition of overkill. Installing Kubernetes isn't easy, at least not when you consider DNS, ingres/load balancing, logging, etc.
Consider what happens when effective ballistic missile defense is developed. This still leaves the threat of tactical nuclear weapons (artillery) and short range missiles from submarines. It will also spur the development of improved ballistic missile delivery systems. However, if technology brings MAD into question and causes a shift in thinking to acceptable risk/losses, we may find ourselves in a destructive situation very reminiscent of 100 years ago.
Really nice history! I want to applaud the author on this loving treatment.

Also I want to point readers to the commentary of some of the Unix authors:

“Old programs have become encrusted with dubious features. Newer programs are not always written with attention to proper separation of function and design for interconnection.”

My point being: Unix (and derivatives) encompass a set of people who disagree about what constitutes Unix philosophy.

I'm not aware of Israel making it a matter of national policy to annihilate Iran or any other country. However, that is Iran's stated policy, and what they've said they'll do when they get nukes.

https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2018/04/21/Iranian-g...

Iran is training proxies in Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine to attack Israel. And that's what they're doing. They just launched a missile barrage, the largest ever, at Israel.

It seems that Israel is just defending its existence.
According to Colin Powell they have 200 of them.

That's not how these systems work, at least in the US and Russia. "The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner" by Daniel Ellsberg (who was involved in war planning before he leaked the Pentagon Papers) has some fascinating and scary info about this.

Apparently there are backup systems in both countries that will fire nuclear weapons automatically (!) at predefined targets if certain cities are hit with nuclear attacks - e.g. Washington, Moscow, etc.

That's why deterrence is effective - because any strike can automatically lead to hundreds of millions of people dying (and, if the modelling of nuclear winter is correct, potentially pretty much all large mammals within a few years)...

I feel like a religious war is the wrong model for the US, mostly because I've never heard of a place with a pair of religions that both have roughly half of the followers, and are just fighting over the allegiance of the last one-to-five percent; and especially a place where this is somehow a long-term equilibrium state.

Interesting premise... What if they open source some small subset of their code and then track their stock price, usage, and ad revenue as they release more. It could be done in a measured process. I would be more interested in them demonstrating an increasingly distributed, uncoupled, and failure-tolerant infrastructure. I'd like to see them compete with Google's caching too.

C is a good language, but why does the standard library need to be in the language standard? It's perfectly possible for there to be competing modern libraries which implement everything from the stdlib which can be built completely from pure C source. Suppose I build libvortico, which had proper string handling, threading, filesystem, etc. There would then be no need to deal with stdlib quirks. Just use that as an alternative.
Foolish how? Sure, it kind of ruins DNS, but ICANN made a lot of money, and isn’t that the important thing?
What are they supposed to be affording that's actually required in the Directive, like explicitly. Does it say "content must be scanned" or is it more "carriers must ensure content is licensed". If it's the later what's to stop them just adding a "is this licensed" tick box [aka check-box] to the upload form; which IIRC YouTube already have?

They, YouTube, keep mentioning science videos and such but I can't work out what they mean, why would that be any more blocked than cat videos, or videos of people falling over, or whatever else YouTube is hosting -- is quality content somehow more at risk or is that just YouTube's attempt to spin/market their opposition?
As someone who has done some work with WebRTC (attempting to build a video conferencing app for work) it's hard to boil things down to a "Hello World" due to the whole ICE and signalling thing. It's unfortunate, but in order to get this client-side peer-to-peer thing working, you need to have a server in the cloud (i.e. not behind NAT) that can pass signals between the two peers.

The tutorials other people have linked to look good, just note that unless you're talking between 2 computers within your local network (and even then you'll have to copy-paste their IP addresses to each other), you'll need to either deploy a server or use a 3rd party library like PeerJS that uses one.

I hope that eventually IPv6 will obviate the need for NAT and make this whole thing much simpler, but until then, this is what we've got.

I'll also put my tinfoil hat on, since I've had a long fascination with anamolous phenomenon. I still think the jury's out on what exactly is going on, but one thing that's consistent worldwide is that balls of light are associated with UFOs, bigfoot, poltergeists, etc.

My rational mind doesn't really believe in all of this, but if it did, I think I'd take Jacques Vallee's theory seriously. Jacques Vallee is an astronomer and computer scientist (involved in early ARPANET) who's studied the phenomenon since at least the 70s. Here's a fun paper:

https://www.scientificexploration.org/docs/4/jse_04_1_vallee...

He essentially argues that the UFO phenomenon is neither extra terrestrials nor merely misidentified aerial craft. It's something even stranger!

Also, if you find that paper interesting, here's one of this books (one of the most well-known in the anomalous phenomenon field):

Is fairness forcing people to spend more money on less desirable products and firms simply because those firms exist?

That seems pretty unfair to me. And it's been shown to be bad economics time and time again.

Fair seems letting people decide which business they want to purchase from, even if that means less desirable ones don't get paid.
I can't read Greek or Latin so I don't have access to the primary sources, but it is my understanding that nationalism was a prevalent part of political life in antiquity, particularly from the death of Alexander through to the end of the Roman empire, and reemerged in Europe around the same time as absolutism.
In many ways, the United States, and to a larger extent the West, has significantly more in common with the late roman republic than it does with any point in it's own modern history.

You have more control over your thoughts than you think you do -- it's a muscle like any other that gets stronger with practice. The next time you find yourself being cynical, try this:

Take a moment to mentally step away from your cynical thought seeds. Observe them from an omniscient, non-judgemental point-of-view, as best as you can.

Like a farmer looking over his land, he knows nothing on his farm can affect him unless he allows it to affect him. As the observer, you gets to decide what thoughts to water and grow. The flip side is equally true too -- deprive negative thoughts of attention and resources and they'll pass.

Sorry for the naive question, but how does this work? So let's say the employees now are part of this trust which owns 75% of the shares. What is the benefit? The trust owns the shares legally correct? Is it some sort of profit sharing scheme? I assume you don't hold on to the shares when you leave the company (as they are with the trust)? Does every new hire dilute the ownership?

How does this actually impact the day to day employee if at all? My wife is part of an "employee" owned company and all it really means is more responsibility without any real benefit other than a paltry profit sharing payout of a few hundred bucks each year. So I am a little skeptical.

Ask HN: What disclosures am I owed when a startup I have equity in is sold?
A startup I worked at and own equity in was recently sold. All we received was a short email outlining the sale in general terms, and a 280G form to sign. I understand the 280G form relates to a parachute payment to the CEO.

Relevant seeming bits of the email:

"The transaction with {the buyer} was approved unanimously by {my former company}'s board of directors and by more than a majority of each class and series of {my former company}'s stock."

"The available proceeds from the sale of {my former company}’s assets are insufficient to cover the amounts of the liquidation preferences payable to the preferred stockholders. As such, no distributions will be made to the holders of common stock at this time."

What does the company owe me and other common share holders as part of being sold (both in terms of information and assets)? I understand that the sale was more or less a fire sale, so I'm not expecting to get anything. The money I put into it is not enough to warrant seeking counsel or anything, but I'm pretty irritated at the vague communication I've received.
IMO they're probably just being contrarian.
I would advise you to search around a bit more thoroughly for universities who are doing such work.

I don't know much about CS PhD programs, but in biomed, solo publications are very rare, just due to the amount of resources needed. Also, you lose the credibility of an institution, and your work will be more heavily scrutinized, or just thrown out for being too much work to review.

As to whether it would be the "equivalent" or a PhD, it won't get through a resume parser, and won't get you a teaching position or even a postdoctorate position, but companies probably won't care.

The issue is that YouTube, or any other video host, becomes liable for copyright violations of their users. They lose the safe harbor of just being a middle man and must actively prevent unlicensed redistributions.

Then why is porn so hard to find on YouTube? :p I agree that it is hard to prevent the material from being posted, but identifying it as infringing isn't. The trick is for YouTube to only analyze those videos garnering millions of view. Doesn't matter if those with <10 views are infringing because no one watches them anyway.
What is wrong with state approved videos if it was performed by specialists? This would solve the copyright problem as only government could upload content and it will be safe for everyone.

>You run a site. On this site, copyright infringing material is available and distributed. This is criminal. //

Tortuous not criminal. It's not an offense against people in general it's an offense against the creator to not seek their license to duplicate or modify the work. Why is it an offense, because we the demos (or our predecessors) have supposedly agreed to grant that right in exchange for works eventually entering the public domain.

This deal has been supremely perverted by lengthening copyright terms in the face of ever lower costs of publication and dissemination. _That_ is criminal.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about a food shortage. The midwest has a ton of grain stored away hoping for a good price someday.
South America and the rest of the world has taken note of our high yield practices and are crowding the market with their own grain. Granted, you wouldn't want to eat field corn, but then we are talking about tough times which could call for tough measures.
