Or if something is at an odd angle. I once had to grab the model number of a transformer mounted in a chime box that was mounted over a set of stairs - I simply setup a ladder by the railing and used my phone to grab a few photos of the entire box.
I've seen Britain First ads. While I disagree with their fearmongering, I think they went to great lengths to portray things in a nonviolent and "we Christians just want to make sure our children can still practice Christianity" way.

Really, though, this is beside the point. Just like whether the Internet should be regulated under Title I or Title II was beside the point. The point is that, when you're at a point where it's one or the other one-size-fits-all policy, it's a symptom of too much consolidation: the telcos / banks / platforms / whatever have become too big. It's a cartel.

Look, Facebook is becoming something much different than college social networks, or a "utility". Isn't it time for open source software that we can all move to, like the Web instead of AOL, or like Wordpress instead of Blogger.com ?

Why are we, in 2018, still relying on giant centralized corporations to connect us and "allow" us to have our own (shocker) chatroom on their servers?
You're prematurely moving the debate one abstraction layer up, making the issue about the whether a general virtue signal can ever contain truth. (That's an interesting discussion and I agree with you that it's definitely likely that virtue signaling statements are less truthful in general than "honest" statements.) Had you looked down on the concrete statement we're discussing, clearly no argument would be needed. Clearly it's good advice to "do things which wouldn't be done if you wouldn't be there to solve it", what's there even to argue about.
I shared most of the techniques that I am using to drive traffic to my side projects. Would like to hear your opinions and techniques that you are using for your own projects.
It depends, why don't you want more churches built?

Because it's a Muslim church and you don't like them?

Because you're an anti-theist?

Because you don't like the noise?

Because you think their application for a zoning exception is shaky?
EVs make it easier to manage the grid - the challenges are in local distribution.

The vast majority of EV charges are overnight, because that's when electricity is cheap, because that's when we have more supply than demand. Most generation sources can't be quickly switched on and off; renewables generate whenever the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. EVs help to balance the grid simply by sucking up lots of off-peak capacity.

The next generation of cars and charging points are expected to support vehicle-to-grid technology; in exchange for a reduction in your cost of charging, you allow your car to be used as a grid storage battery when you're not using it. A few million cars with 40kWh batteries add up to a very big storage reserve, even if you only take a couple of percent from each car.

Also, it’s not like EV semitrucks will be lighter than their diesel brethren, will they?

I love that it includes the line:
> Elephants are considered an endangered species and as such should not be used by U.S. military personnel.
Great idea, I'm starting that too now. Thanks for the suggestion.
Britain First have about as much support as Islam4UK which is to say not much.

The EDL was the real worry with membership peaking at 184,000 but today virtually none existent.

The majority of both groups appears to have merged into UKIP.
Yeah, one time I told my 3 year old not to touch a wild mushroom. Mostly because I'm grossed out by it. But now she's got this crazy attitude towards mushrooms, the weirdest plants in the world that people eat but are dangerous. I have no idea how it's going to shake out. If I could do it again I would have let her touch the freaking mushroom.
>>To your comment about people not empathizing with a child.

What I have observed is that people just get worn down. They just can't muster up the energy to see the child's perspective. They aren't bad people or parents, but being a parent is much harder than advertised. No one tells you it is an endurance sport.

I am not sure how to give people more energy, but I suspect one of the reasons we organized ourselves in small closely knit families in the past was to help with this very problem. Contrast that with today in most wealthy countries...

Totally agree with your overall point of kids being kids.
I struggle to see why it is they're simply hate speech and not a valid political movement.

A quick look at their "No More Mosques!" campaign should suffice to provide the insight you seek.
Very smart argument! However, this happens nevertheless all the time (GDPR, food/drug regulations, ...). We just consider it normal when we can somehow agree on the benefits :).
While I love Linux, I think this is a totally fair "state of the union". At the end of the day, gaming or kickstarters or similar... are a business. You need to figure out your ROI (Return On Investment). It doesn't many any logical sense to spend a huge amount of time on a platform that nets you tiny amounts of sales (and gains you a huge amount of support costs).

This is why gaming on the Mac is only now starting to be a real thing. Not a decade or so ago, there were still relatively small numbers of people using a Mac. It cost a lot to develop for a new platform and didn't make much money. Now it makes more sense.

Of course Linux fragmentation will probably hold it back for significantly longer.
> Issues specific to Linux were almost entirely graphics driver related, and unique to the platform.

Just want to point this out before this discussion starts blaming the devs for 'not writing with portability in mind' or other such nonsense like the twitter thread did.
This is just an out-of-context tweet (well, the context is there - it's a reply to another tweet, which is out of context)... so perhaps it was just auto-crash reports, but I wonder if you get more tickets from Linux users, because Linux users are more likely to file tickets?

When something crashes on my partner's computer she yells at it and restarts it. When something crashes on my computer I spend an hour trying to figure out WHY. If I can't figure it out, I log a ticket thinking I'm being a good citizen!
I was just in the desert in Chile rock climbing (Valle de Los Condores), and there were tons of mines nearby. There were rivers and waterfalls everywhere, and a hydroelectric plant. It’s a weird climate, but water is definitely not lacking, even in the desert.

On the other hand, that valley is amazing and should be protected land
I just remembered that I have a kitchen table made of bamboo.. just the top surface, not the legs (which are made from ordinary wood). It's technically not a kitchen table, it was sold as an office desk, but it works very well as a kitchen table (and it had the exact right dimensions we needed, which is why we bought it). The surface is slightly rough, as it's made from long thing bands of bamboo fiber. All in all it's turned out to be a great table.
How does it not apply to Netflix? Just because they have the right to censor stuff, doesn't mean that you have to agree with any particular instance of their censorship, does it?
What we really need is a standardisation to cover for the improvements in the background. Kind of like a USB interface for batteries.

Imagine, you could buy a car, that has slots for you to attach standard batteries. You could leave the batteries charging at home, office, shops that lease you charged batteries(like gas stations) etc. It would also take care of "I live in an apartment and park my car by the side of the road, so no home charging.. problem".

Also, gets rid of the range anxiety if you know you could get batteries everywhere or at-least charge yours everywhere.

Now, when technology genuinely improves by a magnitude, replace the cells, but keep the interface for a decade or so.

Bonus if that standard catches on for other uses. Imagine same batteries being used for power tools at home, emergency power supply at home, camping stuff, plug those boxes into the edges of solar panels while they are not in the car etc.

Leave it to the competing business that are "battery suppliers" to figure out how to make them more efficient, cheaper, and do further R&D.

Car companies can stay at making cars that are essentially safe, aerodynamic shells with electric motors waiting to be powered up by customer supplied batteries.
>The entire purpose of the Senate was to protect slavery

Given that Delaware was the state that proposed it, that seems unlikely.
As a Bahraini friend told me, "Iran has democratic elections."

To which I replied, "What about the weeding out and approval process required for candidates?"

To which he replied, "Well, you can't have a sheep herder run for President and win."

On that basis, I believe America has proven the supremacy of its democracy, for better or worse.
Because they learnt from their mistakes and made it a teachable moment, encouraging other people to avoid the same mistakes.
Who's defending this? I, specifically, didn't talk about this specific instance at all.
>Parenscript definitely isn't. It's a glorified s-exp notation for javascript.

It is not. Parenscript is a subset of Common Lisp that then gets translated to Js.

ClojureScript is also a subset of Clojure that runs on javascript.

> ClojureScript doesn't compile to plain js

How does it run on a javascript-enabled browser, then?
Judging by its Wikipedia article this game had Linux support since the beginning:

I feel like the same phenomenon sometimes happens with adults at the scale of civil society. People start doing strange things like believing silly "alternative" conspiracy theories, withdrawing from society into online alternate realties, etc., and instead of trying to communicate and figure out why we just insult them and call them stupid and crazy.

Humans are not perfectly rational and they are not always able to even understand let alone communicate their problems or motives. This is especially true if they're under stress or suffering from mental illness, addiction, or abuse.
Your comment is the perfect example of how there's an "invisible" demand demand for gaming on Linux.

Nobody can see it, because those who want it will mostly make do with Windows.
I should note Android runs with a Linux kernel. It has been estimated that games like Pokemon Go have made over $1 billion on revenue from Android devices - larger than its revenue from iOS. Candy Crush Saga, Clash of Clans, Dragon Ball Z etc. do well on Android as well. So the "would totally skip Linux" advice is not heeded by every company for every platform.
Depends. Sometimes the complainers are telling you about issues that everyone else doesn't like about you, so you better fix those issues, otherwise the other customers will leave to someone else. Other times those complainers are just complainers who will never be satisfied and I'd fire those customers. Generally it is a mix so you need to read and consider every complaint.
I don’t want more churches built, is that hate speech?

Yes. What business is it of yours what people do behind closed doors?

(EDIT: assuming that behavior is otherwise law-abiding, in compliance with building codes, etc).
Business practice seems to be shifting, at least that's what I see where I sit. DHL has started delivering parcels using electric vans and from what I've read today's batteries aren't a problem for that.

Today's batteries aren't really good enough for driving on vacation, but private practice is moving too. The number of 25-year-olds with driving licenses is dropping, I've seen surveys that list the iphone above a BMW as a status symbol, and then there are phenomena like this: https://www.citymetric.com/transport/driving-london-has-been...
It seems like this is the first time non millennials had to deal with 'shitty mods'.

They are new and don't understand- Its time to move off facebook.

Same reason I'm here instead of reddit.
I'm sure it is measured by number of installs or downloads. Either way the statistic is still very telling. If 0.1% of installs/downloads/purchases created 20% of the bug reports, I can understand the developer's frustration.
It depends on how much the .1% cost, how much they provide, and how ok it is to ignore them.
The conclusion I draw is that we should raise linux game prices by 200x
Facebook is a private entity and they can do with their software what they want. If that drives away users then that’s their problem. You can set up a server or a static page and disseminate your opinions more easily now than ever. No one ever promised the ability to say whatever you want without response or repurcusion from individuals, corporations, charities, political parties or interest groups.

Facebook executives are disrespectful and duplicitous but this is hardly an existential contradiction of the concept of the free and open web. If people choose a corporate platform with corporate censorship then the real problem is that no one is offering a better alternative.
The distinguishing factor is the promotion of hatred and implied violence.

I remember when the UK banned Sinn Fein from appearing on TV, including their actual elected MPs, resulting in the ridiculous "words read by an actor" workaround.
That depends on the complaints.

If those complaints are valid and lead to a better service for everyone, then I would rather have them instead of not having any feedback.
Ask the right 15% of the population. We just marginalized sexism and homophobia in the western societies. Do not extrapolate from that.

Take religion as a sample. The western countries will be majority atheist in 30-50 years. Do not assume that is the same around the globe.
The irony is their countries flag depicts a Christian cross and they have a national religion. I can see why people are confused.
I would love to have such batteries but I'm not sure we need them. Doesn't hot-swapping effectively achieve net charge rates faster than discharge?

I can see why people might be less interested in hot-swapping for personal vehicles, but why isn't hot-swap on the table for buses and cab fleets? Is it because few people are willing to invest in R&D and infrastructure when sufficient batteries seem to be just around the corner?
It may be an unpopular opinion, but what about radioisotope thermoelectric generator? (Nuclear)
Yep, the G11. Turns out with all its other problems caseless ammo is brittle, so if you drop a round it breaks. Not super practical in the field.

What if I don't want Saudi funded mosques in particular, is there any nuance allowed. There is no racism or exclusion based on a person's ethnicity here.

Should we lock up Richard Dawkins for being anti catholic?
HN is great partly because it has excellent mods, and removes quite a lot of stuff between moderation and flagging. Perhaps a bit overzealous on flagging sometimes though.
Depends. If they diddle kids behind closed doors it's very much the law's business (for example). I'm not saying that's happening here, I'm making an example. Churches are not exempt from the law, neither is any kind of private property for that matter.

Besides, there are valid reasons to be against the building of a church near your house - noise for example (church bells, prayer songs).
More coal-fired power plants have closed under Trump than in Obama's first term
Also I wonder how many of those crashes would have happened in windows or mac. I suspect the code is shared and would have happened.
It's not 'China'. It's new competitors that blew them out of the water, like Apple and Samsung did to Nokia, for the reasons I listed in my previous comment.
The number of mosques?
> IIRC, Apple just spends more; they have more transistors.

Also, Apple has a full ARM license and full control over the OS and the software that runs on it. Which means it is very well possible that they have extended the instruction set to accelerate real-world JS performance.

Unrelated to the content, but related to the website, Cisco Umbrella / OpenDNS tells me that etbe.coker.com.au is blocked due to a security threat. Yet, I threw the URL at VirusTotal and Google Safe Browsing and they both returned with a clean analysis. Either Cisco TALOS is ahead of the curve, or way off.
Won't be surprised that Tesla jumping on the chance to cancel the battery swap program when the reported popularity was low was due to something else.

It could be that a quick hot swap is technologically complicated, especially given Tesla manufacturing tolerances. Also if the hot swap fails, you're stranded without a car.
Super inefficient to haul around a gasoline engine and all the associated parts for the rare situation that you might need it. With gasoline powered cars you can haul around extra weight because range isn't an issue on gasoline powered cars. On electric cars, range is a make-or-break.

And why is BBC trying to portray that a canned email response is an official statement?

I don't doubt the matter at hand, but this is very sloppy journalism.
I do not appreciate your remark about our community and Czech-speaking part of it. This is rude and uncalled for.

Regardless of gender and nationality of community members, and despite the fact that Red is an alpha software, the following projects were created, which may qualify as highly visible:

* neural networks [1]

* computer vision framework [2]

* dataflow engine [3]

* ports of (cross-platform) GUI widgets [4]

* projectional editor [5]

* drawing apps [6]

* operating systems (an in-house project as of now, so no link)

If you don't know what to make out of Red, I'd suggest to grab the latest build [7] with a list of learning resources [8] and do a bit of research. Official About page [9] also gives a good list of main features.

Big libraries indeed aren't necessary, because most of batteries are included in a 1MB executable, and common needs are covered by core library. Full-fledged module system is missing, but is planned for 0.8.0 release. We also have a large Rebol ecosystem, from which various scripts and applications may be ported, if necessary.

Only if the NYTimes cared as much about the "cost to free speech" in the US. The NYTimes, along with other large media companies, have been the biggest advocates of tech censorship of americans. They forced google, facebook, twitter, etc to censor ordinary americans. Makes it hard for me to take them seriously when it comes to censorship.

And I fully understand the argument of government vs private company. But the outcome is still the same - censorship. Whether content is censored at the behest of the saudis or the nytimes is meaningless to me. It's the spirit of free speech rather than the law.

Saudi Arabia has been censoring for decades. And the NYTimes has been more or less fine with that. Why the sudden change? Because the saudis are supporting Trump and vice versa? In 2008, when obama won, the nytimes and much of the media was hailing social media as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Since 2016, a complete shift. I wonder why?

The biggest disappoint for me is the realization that the NYTimes, just like foxnews and the rest of the major news companies, are politically driven rather than driven by morality or truth. If the saudis had been relentlessly mocking Trump rather than supporting him, I suspect the NYTimes article would be defending the saudis - along the lines of "when in rome..." or more likely, they wouldn't have bother writing anything. Supporting the regime and censorship by omission.

Also, I've noticed a significant drop in zuckerburg or facebook hitpieces by the media ever since his new year's message where he promised to get in line and censor like other major tech companies. I guess that means less anti-facebook spam, but more censorship online.
There's an RAF anecdote related to this in Most Secret War, in which the officer asserts that his unit is more effective than other similar units because it still assigns each specific crew to a specific plane, and so knowing "their" plane they are willing to fly it despite minor problems that in other units would cause it be taken out of service for repair.

I don't have the book with me, maybe somebody else will remember and dig out the quote.
Linux in the thread specifically refers to the Linux Desktop, and even more specifically to the only two supported distros: Ubuntu and Mint. Citing the success of an Android game does not in any way invalidate the advice.
How is that different than news papers or long-form magazines deciding what to report and what op-eds to publish?

Routing to an IP in the local network obviously doesn't work outside that local network.

Re-routing the domain to the local machine (by editing /etc/hosts) should work just the same. A certificate from a trusted CA can be validated without an internet connection, they are part of the OS/Browser distribution.

I am not defending Netflix. I think Silicon Valley companies pushing a political agenda using their platforms is reprehensible, particularly given the high level of concentration. However I merely point the contradiction between the New York Times cheering for the de-platforming movement and then complaining about Netflix in name of Free Speech.
