The question really isn't whether or not it's broken. It's more of a question of 'for whom it is broken'.

Or, more accurately; what is the true purpose to the state and how well does it fulfill that purpose?

If you assume that the purpose to the state is to carefully and thoughtfully use the resources and powers granted to it by the public to serve the public then, yes, the system is utterly broken. It's so completely and fundamentally broken that it is not salvageable.

However if the purpose of the state is use the political power granted to it to advance the interests of people who are politically connected to the state... then it works very very very well.

In fact what people call 'corruption' is fundamental to how politics is able to function in the first place!

Get rid of the 'corruption' and get 'money out of politics' then you eliminate the purpose, reason, and forces that caused the state to come into existence.

Any time you attempt to exercise political power to enact any sort of change to the country you must give the powerful people of your country a reason to go along with you. Whether your goal is to eliminate poverty, save the environment, or make your brother a billionaire... you must first convince the key individuals go along with your program.

And powerful and wealthy don't work for free.

And how this works in a country like the USA is by having the state gain significant control over markets so they can use regulation and policy to benefit people who play along and punish those companies that resist.

Money and power go hand in hand. You can't have big government without big corporations. You can't have big corporations without big governments.

These groups are not opposing forces, the state does not balance out the 'greed' or 'excesses' of market capitalism. Instead it is the nature of the state to feed into these negative effects and exploit them. Big business and Big government are complementary.

So, yes, if the purpose of the state is to exploit the wealth of the country for the purposes of the politically elite within and without the state... then it works extremely well.

Not broken one bit.
Wow, HN commenters really hate other people.
Redbox sent me an email that had a picture of RDR2 "Disc 1" in the list of new games. I wasn't sure what that meant, and figured that data disc might have had a gimped version of the game with only one or two chapters.

Turns out, you have to rent both discs to play! One to install (which took like two hours for me, if not more), and one to play. I guess you only need to rent one disc after that, but they're still getting at least $6 out of anybody that wants to play.
Hello Jonathan,

I understand your slight anxiety around hiring the designer that will produce the dashboard that would work for your user base.

I don't have any experience with hiring through these platforms neither. Well, because I'm on the other side :-)

Nonetheless, regarding designing dashboards, specific design rules should be applied. Therefore if you are willing to invest resources into a designer, pick the one who is familiar with the nuances of the SaaS business. And the one that understands data visualization principles. You would save a lot of time and iterations.

Btw I've asked the similar question in the fb group dedicated to SaaS growth hacking: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SaaSgrowthhacking/permalink/... Comments that got deeper into problem might guide you to make a decision. Multiple perspectives on the problem were listed below the poll.

Btw I'm curating the collection of UX/UI Best Practices for SaaS applications. List explains tips and tricks to follow in order to ship profitable software. You can find the collection here: http://minimumviabledesigns.com

I think this page shows some of the disconnect between the people raising the privacy alarm and your average consumer.

The page looks to be targeted at consumers, with the 'creepy' meter that changes as you scroll. However the PS4 and Xbox are considered 'A little creepy' and a sous vide cooker is listed as 'Somewhat creepy'.

Despite the arguments made on the respective pages for why they are creepy (generally "Shares your information with 3rd parties for unexpected reasons") I don't think any consumer on the planet is going to consider any of those gifts even slightly creepy.

In my opinion it weakens the argument for the legitimately creepy products when such innocuous things are included in the list.

Mental health issues aren't intrinsic. Like physical health issues, you might be born with them or you might acquire them as a consequence of your environment. But they should be seen in the context of how to cure or manage them. They don't need to be a defining characteristic of who you are.

I know we don't like to imply that things about people's personality is "wrong", but if you're unable to be self-sufficient, I think addressing whatever is preventing that is reasonable.

There are other measures, such as a prefix or suffix ("PIN") that you can supply, so the physical key doesn't have the entire password. Otherwise, you're right.

It's also useful to be able to leave the physical key at home, or with another party.

They make me and the other HN moderators uncomfortable too. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do about it at scale. We will continue banning the worst and asking the rest not to do this.

Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen a comprehensive price list before and I've worked with Oracle for 20 years. Generally I've been somewhere with a site licence so you can use almost anything or used XE and bought standard one for production.
This is such an important point and key to so many political discussions, yet is almost never made. As we've continued to tweak and tune and optimize the process we've lessened the differences between the parties. The vitriol that is shouted from the rooftops for each party is the echo chamber that reverberates with additional power of clicks and views. Being "just alright" doesn't generate a call to action, even if "just alright" is how things have progressed year over year.
SuperTuxKart Networking – Looking for Testers
I also think the political process just doesn't work well with the iterative process necessary to adopt new technology. Politics is so focused on immediate results and sound bites and whether it fixes a problem immediately. Implementing any new technology just doesn't happen right the first time.
It's a learning process. You forgot to consider XYZ so you had to go back and add some new features. A feature might not work as expected and another might have had some unintended consequences. It happens. It gets fixed. The technology gets better. Not in spite of these challenges, but because of them.

Politics, on the other hand, is all-or-nothing. They didn't go back and reconsider the algorithm or the weights or discuss why certain factors were assigned certain weights. It was either implement the algorithm or don't. They balanced progress with political reputation and when "too many" voters voiced displeasure they abandoned ship for fear of a day or two of bad PR. That's not a recipe for success when it comes to technological change, it's a recipe for disaster.

Except when fear comes into play. You might enjoy reading this: https://psychology.stackexchange.com/questions/9200/why-do-p...

In this particular case, there is a fear that one could get a severe sentence (e.g. capital punishment) without having even committed a crime, all due to the police changing their password. If a person is afraid enough of that (unlikely) potential outcome, they may ignore statistics all together and follow their fear.

Except you’re argument here is that Revolution didn’t happen because the British just shot everyone dead - right?

If the government wanted to demolish everything they could glass the entire country with the push of a button.. but to what end? To rule over nothing?

This argument inevitably leads to one where you say tanks and drones vs civilians, but like your ”bang you’re dead” example that isn’t a solution to policing a populace, to keep routes open, to keep production going. Tanks and drones don’t stand on street corners. For that you need boots on the ground, and for that, you need people willing to go through doors knowing that the first guy or two will die. The supply is those guys runs out fast.

I don’t think it has anything to do with romanticism. It’s an honesty that we’ve seen in Iraq/Afghan/Syria for almost 20 years, even if you have the best miliary in the world with dozens of allies, that you can’t rule over people that don’t want to be if they can retaliate.

So... do all government roads lead to authoitarianism? IDK! But it surely happens slower when the people pose an individual threat, wouldn’t you think?

Well, you were misinformed that you could learn a language by doing any one thing.

Apps like Duolingo are just a method for daily exposure on the long journey of language learning.

For example, reading only grammar books isn't going to get you there, either. But doing something every day is possibly the most important part, and Duolingo can help you build a habit.

I see this criticism of Duolingo all the time by people who sound like they think it failed them because they weren't fluent after finishing it. There is no roadmap that will make you fluent without serious, multifaceted effort on your own part, so it's quite weak criticism when one tool doesn't take you end-to-end.
If Venezuela asked Google to build a censored, surveillance-oriented search engine, would they do it? my understanding is that they've already agreed to do it for China, so doing similar work for other dictatorships should be standard, even if not as profitable, business.

Abusing the containers to send large amounts of outgoing traffic would do just that. Downloading files would do that too. How about sending a "while(true) { }" to hog some CPU? It doesn't take much to cause significant monetary damage.

Depending on their set-up, those containers could contain credentials or some other means to compromise the rest of the website. Perhaps it is possible to re-use the containers across different "sessions", serving multiple clients with malicious traffic. Those are plausible scenarios.

I'm not carrying out a full PT right now. Demonstrating the platform has been compromised is more than enough. Any other questions?

Google made no promises on that setting. Apple offered a setting, failed to implement it properly, and Google got fined for it. That's what happened there.

But regardless what clearly did not happen in that case is Google violating one of Google's own settings. Which is what we're talking about here - the settings Chrome offers being violated. There's no evidence of that.

I know the feeling, even though I haven't been on Facebook in years. My 18 year-old met his current girlfriend because she saw him in a parking lot and asked what his Snapchat name was. I don't think he even bothers with FB any more.

Having taught people coding for awhile, I don't think the step-by-step teaching models work with coding. It creates an environment where students just think about the next step without internalizing what they learned. I've met students who have gone through freecodecamp's exercises and really struggle with using what they learned.

Edabit seems too heavily on algorithms. I've seen many beginner students get quickly burned out from doing algorithms when starting out.

I've found the most effective way to teach coding is to make their learning project based (very much like how professors taught concepts back in college). Build X, Y, Z, each project building up in complexity so students can think about different combinations of everything they learned to complete the project.

You are struggling with this because believing there is no difference between the mental characteristics of men and women on average is to be in denial of reality.

I think maybe this is a hard pill to swallow for many people because we have proven over and over that we can't trust each other to both know this AND still treat everyone, regardless of how we may be able to classify them, as an individual and to judge each individual by their own actions, desires, and capabilities rather than by the average characteristics of whatever bucket we happen to be considering them to be in at the time.
How to become a developer?
Hi,

I've started working on this Slack app about a month ago.

The app is called Imagez and it's listed officially in the Slack app directory (it's 100% free).

It basically lets you search for royalty-free images directly from within Slack, and helps you get feedback from your teammates in order to choose the best photo when you need one.

Initially, I thought that this app might be useful for digital marketers who write content frequently and need photos for their content, or even for designers who need photos for their work. However, after a few weeks of trying to acquire users in order to get some feedback, I'm not sure it solves any problem at all.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback, both about the use-case and the user experience.

Of course they do, money. Why else do you think they sold out to Amazon and sent them all your search data? https://www.zdnet.com/article/shuttleworth-defends-ubuntu-li...

I took two notes from this that I can use in my day job doing this kind of thing:

1) Don't use approaches that are black-box in nature if they will negatively impact people who have a say in its adoption. Stay simple or create tools that let users play with the parameters to understand how the consideration of factors creates a different outcomes. Expose them to how it works don't just ask for trust.

2) The narrative that takes hold around an algorithm supersedes the reality of what the algorithm does and how. Manage the soft side of the rollout just as strictly as the technical side. Just like in startups, sales is equally as important (if not more so) than having a working product.

We moved all furniture away from wall, cleaned with mix of bleach and water then invested in a $200 Frigidaire 50 pint dehumidifier (like this one Frigidaire FAD504DWD Energy Star 50-pint Dehumidifier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AU7GYXA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_n8i7...) and it solved the problem for us. It would pull a gallon or more of water out of the air everyday.
I tried some smaller/cheaper dehumidifiers but they really didn't compare.
