If inertia is resistance to change then negative inertia would be promotion of change? I really dont know, the idea of negative inertia seems wildly counterintuitive.

I think you misread my original post—I don't have any problems with XML, and in a sibling post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18611384), outlined exactly why XHTML is best-suited to this use-case. Meanwhile, I called this Unicode-markup idea a "modest proposal".

If you can use XML, by all means, please do use it. If you're designing a document format, and there should be markup in your document, just use XML for your document format and then XHTML for the markup parts. It's what ePub does. (ePub is one of my favourite formats: it's just a slapping-together of a bunch of well-known technologies. It's the "buy rather than build" of document formats.)

I do think, though—separately from what your options are as a document-format designer—that there's a point in having a Unicode-level markup standard, and getting the font-rendering engines on board with it. And that point is democratization of styling control: forcing styling into places where the format specifier had no intention, way back whenever they specified the format, to add styling; and where the software stack has maybe ossified since, such that nobody's willing to introduce a new version that specifies a new format with styling (or where such an effort was tried but has long fizzled out.)

Want to add styling to email? No, not HTML email, pine(1) ain't ever gonna render that for you. I mean, all email. Email in an app in the GUI; email on the CLI in your terminal emulator. Email even in pine(1), without modifying pine(1), merely updating GTK and Cairo and then restarting gnome-terminal. Unicode markup would work entirely opaquely to the email client's intent to "have styling" or not. At the layer the email client is operating at, it's Just Text™, just like emoji are now Just Text™.

As far as I can tell, encoding the styling at the Unicode-codepoint layer, and then parsing it out at the {OS graphics toolkit, terminal emulator} text-rendering layer, is the only way to make that work.

Or, for another example. How about we insert some bold text into a TEXT-typed column of a Postgres DB row? Yes, the text is supposed to be bold. No, we can't change the type of the field to XML; that would break everything that currently queries that field. I want to just put bold text in one row, one time. Yes, sure, add an INSERT trigger to ensure that nobody can insert text with any other styles. (But if you're so worried about that, why don't you have that trigger already to ensure that nobody's inserting a newline, huh?)

A cute trick: make temp-file filenames not "foo~" but rather "foo"-with-a-strikeout-through-it. Yes, that'd be the file's actual on-disk name. You're saying you want your filesystem to use XML for the filename field?

(I mean, these are ridiculous, yes. The only actual use-case is obviously allowing people to use bold on HN.)
I hate python package/dependency/virtualenv management so much. Even JavaScript is preferable.

I find npm very easy to wrap my head around. I do npm install ___ and it does a lookup in its repository and downloads it and its dependencies to node_modules. If I want to start fresh, I simply delete node_modules. Everything else "just works" when I invoke node myapp.js. Punto e basta.

pipenv masquarades as the same thing, but then there is no python_modules folder to be found. Instead it downloads it to some obscure directory halfway across my computer. If I want to start fresh I guess I have to trust the tool's uninstall function? And it's unclear if I need sudo or not. Also I can no longer just run my program, I have to run it with pipenv now? Python requires too much cognitive burden for module/dependency/virtualenv management.

For me it's to the point that developing using a docker image with globally installed python modules is easier to manage and wrap my brain around than using pipenv/virtualenv/whatever.

It's not "populist" anything. It's the best science that can be done:

https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/five-reasons-we-think-...

"Five Reasons We Think Dark Matter Exists: No other idea explains even two of these."

"1.) Galaxy Clusters"

"2.) Galactic Rotation Curves"

"3.) The Cosmic Microwave Background"

"4.) The Bullet Cluster"

"5.) Large-Scale Structure Formation"

From these 5, only dark matter matches all. Whereas MOND theories match only one, the "item number 2" and only as an attempt to after-the-fact-explanation of what's anyway observed, not as any prediction of anything new.

As I've quoted in my another message here:

"the predictions of dark matter were first made in the 1970s and 1980s, and were observationally confirmed later. This is not a case of tweaking the model to fit the data; this is a case of the best kind of science you hope for: where you make predictions, make the observations, and what you see validates and confirms the predictions you had made."

Moreover, there's nothing "large" of the possible space that is now excluded. The possible space includes everything that "behaves like matter". What's (still just "probably") eliminated is just what were for us, humans, in this particular moment of our history very convenient to happen: that the energies needed are exactly such that WIMPs that were conveniently postulated to be such can be generated by the device which design and maintenance costs less than 2% of the total cost of the F-35 fighter planes (the money invested and planned to be invested in F-35 is 75 times bigger than the international investment in LHC). It would have been luck if it had happened, but the possibilities are much bigger and include such which are going to remain physically unreachable to be produced by our technologies.

That we, humans, can't produce some particles doesn't disprove that dark matter exists when we have precise observations that can only be explained by dark matter and effectively by nothing else.
Sounds like you've got the comfort access package on your car. Without that tech package (sadly not offered on my make and model year) you've got to actually put the fob into the slot to make the push to start work.
>'Meaning the paper is published and the endorsers are listed as well, e.g. "Reviewed and endorsed by Jill Jones of Cornell University."'

If you read papers from like the 1700s you will see stuff like this. Basically you wanted respectable members of the community to vouch for you.

Say it was some experiment with dogs and blood pressure. It would say "My servant Mr. X recorded the readings I read off the dial while Mayor Y restrained the dog and Pastor Z observed it was correct".
I wonder if the type of component used even matters.

Non-competes are so vague that nobody knows how much to demand even if they were possible to negotiate (which they aren't).

A friend of mine received two offers for almost the exact same compensation. One had a non-compete clause buried deep in the employment contract. Most candidates probably wouldn't even find it.

He asked what the non-compete means. They told him it's almost never enforced. As in, by the mere language, they could sue pretty much any employee who switched jobs.

So ask an independent lawyer to get an answer, right?

The lawyer told him it basically depends on the judge and the judicial climate if it ever goes to trial. Sometimes these cases get dismissed. Other times, the NCA is enforced.

Even if he wanted to negotiate, he couldn't. He doesn't know how much the clause is going to cost him. All the key information is missing, such as whether the company will actually sue, whether the "judicial climate" is right for the judge to side with the plaintiff or summarily dismiss the suit, etc.

It's the perfect example of "negotiations" being useless, especially for a weak uninformed party like a job candidate.
Thank god the german law requires a NC clause to have a compensation directly mentioned in the contract that is not allowed to be less than 60% the person earned in the company in the last year she worked there. If the compensation is missing or too low, the NC is against the law. In other words: if a company wants me to not compete, they need to pay me for the time the NC is active. Its also limited to a maximum of 1 year.
Obviously you would not use that absurd shutdown procedure. You'd give a warning and tell the driver that the engine is going to shut off in X minutes, and after X minutes you decrease its max speed to 10 km/h for Y minutes before shutting down completely. Cars already do way more dangerous stuff if you assume that arbitrary components fail.

It also depends on the reliability. You could also say that you can't just shut the engine off if the electrical contact in the keyhole is wonky.
Sure, this wouldn't mean I'm responsible for any theft of my vehicle, just that it would reduce the likelihood that it would happen — benefiting both the insurer and insured.

The companies could even give away nice-looking faraday boxes that cost them next to nothing to make, and which would probably have decent adoption among people who have requested them. That would cut the hard costs to be very low, and give them a branding/perception benefit.

Imagine seeing "Mercury Insurance is giving away a Fob Box to any customer who wants one." It wouldn't make me switch to Mercury, but it would make me think more highly of them. And if I were just out of college and choosing my first insurance company, I'd undoubtedly choose them.

Given the spate of thefts and the likelihood that it continues, a promo like this could resonate for a long time and get mentioned in lots of news stories.
I'm not sure if you're joking, but in case you're serious: I'm not :)

I'm merely reminding. People forget lists of rules written in pages they don't frequently visit. It's no big deal. Fun fact, though: the guidelines say nothing about telling people to read the guidelines themselves ;)
This documentary makes the extraordinary claim that Google developed Chrome in order to spy on users' browsing behaviour, which is more uncharitable than necessary. I don't trust Google all that much, and I don't think you should either, but that doesn't mean that everything they do is pure cynical exploitation. Defeating these anti-features and misadventures doesn't require a moral crusade, it only requires you to decide not to use the product, and to tell them why through the feedback feature (though some things, like mass gathering of location data, involve plenty of third parties who will probably keep selling your data to Google whether or not you use Google's services directly).
Duplicate submission.
In some cases an employee might be able to build up a base of loyal customers more easily with a larger firm than they could alone, leave and take much of that business with them, and enjoy the continued productivity with much higher margins. The resources of the larger firm then become a stepping stone to the loss of their own business.

I know of one case (in which I am actually mostly sympathetic to the individual bound by the non-compete) in which that's actually exactly what happened.
My understanding is they got burned by all the work put into the XML datatype and don't want to repeat it with JSON, hence the more conservative approach.

Facilitating deals with Iran to deliver US products in defiance of US sanctions seems like something the average schmuck hopefully isn't getting mixed up in. It's not quite the same as accidentally violating some random domestic business laws.
It was a great idea... but then so was google plus... google buzz... the problem with a good idea is the people go where the people are. If they had only just bundled it as the default on Android One it may have just worked.

Things are just fucked. It's already too late, the drastic changes are needed for mitigation at this point - not prevention - and we as a species can't even accomplish that. Things are going to get much, much worse.

It kills me how many people think the debates that are going now are to "prevent" climate issues. The time to prevent passed, and now the time to dampen the blow is passing.

I feel terrible for kids being born right now. They're inheriting an absolute disaster of a planet.

This brings up an interesting question, is gravity about exchanging momentum? My mental model of gravity being spacetime curvature would imply no, but that intuition is likely wrong.
FDWs are much more flexible, as they are basically an endpoint based on the SQL/MED standard that can be implemented by any module and there are dozens of options out there for connections.

Stretch and Polybase are much more limited to Azure storage and Hadoop systems with deep integration into T-SQL, and scale-out using clustering.

Lots of comments about burner phones here. I merely took it as a cheap throwaway phone which they purchased explicitly because it would not be trackable or monitorable, and the phone number would not be registered under their name.
It's interesting that you use the pejorative "smartass" and imply the demand is unreasonable. This couldn't be a clearer example of the low social status engineers have.
When you do business in another country, you are subject to its laws. You can choose to not worry about other countries laws very easily: do not do any business there.
Looks cool, it's nice to see somebody trying to do something new with browser basics.

There's plenty to pick from when it comes to FB's behavior, but...:

> FB running psychological experiments in the newsfeed [...] to see if they could affect your mood (definitely not ok)

I don't understand how anyone could have a problem with this in principle. At Facebook's scale any change they make to their website will affect people's mood in one way or the other.

Would you prefer they didn't do experiments and just rolled out those changes without testing and hoped for the best? That would also be a sort of experiment, the experiment of closing their eyes to data they know is there.

The trolley problem doesn't go away just because you close your eyes as you blindly flip the switch.

Now, if we find that they ran such an experiment and found it was more likely to make people sad but also to spend more money we'd have a stand to criticize them.

It's also assuming your hands are infinitesimally small, like Donald Trump's hands. Fake mass!!!
For Bitcoin at least, that's already happening simply because of market forces. It now costs (very roughly) twice as much to mine a Bitcoin as one is worth, so mining is no longer economical.
Damn, you're right, there goes the hoverboard.
Scope and direction. The bakery can do everything in its power and still only effect a small subset of people in a certain location. Facebook using everything in its power can arguably effect a significant portion of living humans at the same time.

Second direction of effect. A baker can spray scent to make you think about food, positive or at best neutral effects. Facebook can manipulate what your see to induce rage, fear, hate, xenophobia, anything it wants if it is effective.

Again, I think it really just comes down to scope. Regardless of what precedent there is for corporate interactions with the populace, we are at an unprecedented time with regards to the reach, immediacy, and ubiquity a corporate entity can exert on its users. And when you have a company whose product incentivises immense social pressure on others to join you can end up with huge amounts of influence in a very short time.

Again, looking at it from the precedents of the past you can say there's nothing wrong or different about it but we do not live in the past and these entities are having large and possibly damaging effects on our societies and the precedent with regards to that is to attempt to eliminate it, either through media shaming or governmental regulation.
Nice and friendly comments always rise to the top about FB because Zuck pays for PR. Why wouldn’t he game HN too.
I would love to see a spoof where a middle age serf is going to move to a new farm, but his current lord forces him to sign a contract which precludes the serf from using his wheat farming skills for the new lord who is the current lords political competition.
This article has been really informative and has given me context on what the hell is the problem with pipenv in people's opinion, which I have been wondering about for a while, I'll check out Poetry soon. Reading all the context, however, has reminded me that people are mainly assholes and now I feel I need to stop using social media completely, and the Internet for that matter.
I don't write libraries but pipenv works well for a simple flask application because I don't ask much of it.

All I want is a simpler file to look at compared to requirements.txt

Here is my guide for newbies like me

1. Use Pipenv in development.

2. Create a requirements.txt each time you make any changes to your pipenv.
Commit all three files: pipenv, pipenv lock, and requirements.txt to git.

3. Use this requirements.txt in production.

4. ???

5. Profit

Now here is my only gripe:

I believe pipenv is meant for simple people like me. I have to say I want to use Python 3. There is no way to say I accept anything 3.5+

My understanding is that pipenv is not meant for people who actually know python inside out. My use case is that it lets me keep track of what dependencies I installed as opposed to what dependencies my dependencies installed. This should have been the ONLY problem that pipenv fixes but like the old saying goes... no project is complete until it is able to send mail (sorry I probably said it wrong).
"Selling people's data" is a very abstract concept. As technologists, we are able to imagine concrete implications. Everyone else brushes it off as they've "got nothing to hide" until hit with the actual repercussions.
The genie is out of the bottle. No company can afford to hire it's contractors as fulltime. Their cost would double. There's 2 things that can happen
1. Move to automate or offshore these jobs
2. Bring parity to fulltime or contract employee pay and benefits so its indistinguishable whether you work fulltime or contract- its just a choice for both. Just like do you want PPO or HMS for healthcare.
We will all have no way to find a job when the planet is destroyed.
> Make them fair, not unenforceable.

Nice idea. How do you do that in practice?

How does the judicial system decide what NCA is "fair"?

The cost of the NCA to the employee can be heavy. How do you "fairly" value it?

In reality you'll get what you have right now, where entire industries (and certainly entire companies) simply mandate NCAs in all their contracts and there's no way to remove it or get compensated for it. Don't like it? Decline the offer. Oh, and good luck getting an offer that doesn't require it - they all do.
Super cool that you use this Guix thing and all that (although Nix is better, who cares), but it is impossible to run this thing.

So what you're probably getting is ordinary cheap consumer-grade SSDs, but perhaps with encryption capabilities actually turned on. I'd be surprised if you were getting something like the Samsung 850 PRO without specifically ordering premium SSDs.
You can't be sure, and that's a risk you'll always take when going to a country China can extradite you from. Singling China out is silly though, any country can do this, some just have more political clout to pull it off.

For instance, Thailand sought extradition of those insulting their king abroad.

A tl;dr to address some of the obvious questions here:

In 2013 she set up a Hong Kong shell company called Skycom Tech. That company (attempted to) purchase HP computers from the United States and resell them to Iran. The deal did not involve Huawei products, but many of the documents related to the deal were labeled "Huawei confidential" indicating they created the shell company to conceal their involvement.

She broke the law by attempting to do a straw purchase for the Iranian government of US manufactured restricted goods. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_purchase

Canada has an extradition agreement with the United States, so the Canadian government arrested her on behalf of the US.
It was a bit of a nightmare for the first day or two, but I was buoyed by seeing how many external tracking scripts are automatically loaded on websites that I never expected that from. It's largely seamless once you've whitelisted the things you like, but it takes a couple of days.

One recent example where I packed it in and just used Safari instead was buying a flight - I've found airline websites to be finicky at the best of times and the added layer of non-standard browsing was immediately painful. Other than that, it's been worthwhile; I recommend giving it another try!
