Mixers are hardly the only form of dealing with anonymity. We have multiple privacy coins and ways of getting in and out of them that do a very good job of dealing with the problems you mention if you are concerned about mixers for some reason.

Somehow, people in China still manage to get on the internet, how do you think that happens? As it happens, the internet was designed to route around censorship, and it's done a very good job so far.
Most people don't even know what it means to forward a port on their router. They aren't going to know how to build a DVR and give it the same feature set as a Ring doorbell camera.
I think Trump and Bernie Sanders foreshadow the beginning of a new era of more revolutionary politics.
I will copy my post again, here, to expose your strawman or unwillingness to stop deflecting:

"One would ask himself how the BSDs manage to do it (no systemd), Android (no systemd), ChromeOS (no systemd), Solaris/Illumos (no systemd) ...
Your arguments hold no merit whatsoever. The fact is that all the problems you describe have been solved, properly, multiple times _before_ systemd entered the picture. The reasons behind systemd mass adoption were political and Redhat exerted a lot of pressure at the time and in many ways, still do."

This is the post you replied to, with arguments that (still) hold no merit. Now you are trying to shift this into something else rather than stick to the points I made _in this thread_. You pick and choose a reply of mine _from a different thread_. Moreover, you write: "This whole thread is a discussion of the relative complexity between sysvinit and systemd". No it is not. As I wrote: "The fact is that all the problems you describe have been solved, properly, multiple times _before_ systemd entered the picture."

I would take you more seriously if you stopped presenting one logical fallacy after another.
Bush, Obama, Trump. These are not religious figures. Past POTUS were public servants and they necessarily, do not represent America and arguably couldn't when they are elected. I'm sure glad the members of the political oligarchy of the last 50 years all came out to see Bush's body, but he served 1 term and did the job and he got older and died. No need for the Pharaoh worship week. Either POTUS is an elected position open to any qualified candidate or it's a big money elitist club G Carlin described where they like to engage in pomp and circumstance. While the truth may be fuzzy, I have my own opinion.

Yes, but I am stating it's near guaranteed that criminalizing consumption in this case has no effect on the production of it. The "good" being child rape, do you actually believe there are people who have raped children purely to take pictures and videos, and distribute (not sell) them? Absent people doing that, criminalizing child pornography possession protects no children.

True with 1 exception, 1/0 (all moves in 1 minute per side) bullet, some of the really strong players at that use high end/high accuracy gaming mice because with so little time even a slight decrease in move time pays off.

I don't play anything less than 15/15 or 20/10 though and your point holds for that.
Talk with a therapist or even a life coach if you want to start there. That you notice these feelings and want to do something about them is a good thing. Talking with a professional is good because they can really narrow down what's happening and give you strategies and coping skills.

There are therapists who are well versed in imposter syndrome and help patients understand it and get better. There are also podcasts if you want to take a self help approach first. I mean it's free. I would look for licensed therapists who apply a CBT oriented approach.

For imposter syndrome you have to assess at the evidence you are not capable or otherwise a fraud. Is there anyone else at your work that you feel is an imposter? No probably not. Are you as capable as the average employee at your work? Yes! You have performance reviews as evidence that you are good! What would you advise a friend who came to you expressing that they felt the same way? Would you say they are most definitely an imposter? What is an imposter anyway? How would an imposter be hired in the first place? Recognize that these automatic thoughts are triggering your amygdala and activating the nervous systems fight or flight response.

Also, there's quotes from Richard Branson along the line that if you meet 70% of the job requirements you are qualified to take the job and you should just learn the rest of it on the job.

And remember that even in the worse case, if you are fired, fired! There are still companies and jobs/roles where you are or can be a superstar. You see this all the time in business.

There is a cost associated with eliminating this class of errors using static typing. The cost is that you're restricted to a set of statements that the type checker can verify to be correct. Writing code for the benefit of the type checker is often at odds with writing it in a way that conveys the meaning best to the human reader. This is necessarily less expressive than the dynamic approach. Code written in dynamic languages tends to do a better job of expressing its intent because it can be written in a more direct fashion.

Here's a concrete real world example of what I'm talking about:

>When I first wrote the core.async go macro I based it on the state monad. It seemed like a good idea; keep everything purely functional. However, over time I've realized that this actually introduces a lot of incidental complexity. And let me explain that thought.

>What are we concerned about when we use the state monad, we are shunning mutability. Where do the problems surface with mutability? Mostly around backtracking (getting old data or getting back to an old state), and concurrency.

>In the go macro transformation, I never need old state, and the transformer isn't concurrent. So what's the point? Recently I did an experiment that ripped out the state monad and replaced it with mutable lists and lots of atoms. The end result was code that was about 1/3rd the size of the original code, and much more readable.

>So more and more, I'm trying to see mutability through those eyes: I should reach for immutable data first, but if that makes the code less readable and harder to reason about, why am I using it?

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/clojure/wccacRJIXvg

Another example of something that's trivial in a dynamic language, but difficult to do in a static one would be Ring middleware: https://github.com/ring-clojure/ring/wiki/Middleware-Pattern...

So really what you're doing with static typing is trading one set of problems for another. This is perfectly fine if those are the kinds of problems you prefer to deal with, but it's important to recognize that you are making a trade off as opposed to getting something for free here.
Yes. See Unicode range U+1D400 to U+1D7FF:

For nuclear annihilation, someone actually has to press the button.

For climate change we just have to keep on doing what we already do - and in fact we are still accelerating.

Droughts and famine are no joke, it feels every more likely we might be the last generation to experience prosperity.

I think the only sensible conclusion at this point is hedonism. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Reflections on IBM 2018 Performance and How Companies Die
I'm not saying that it didn't happen before, say, 1970. But financing expansion by either capital (stock) or retained earnings was more the norm. Debt-based expansion became more popular starting around 1970 +/- 10. (Or so I read recently, IIRC, here on HN. Can't cite a source immediately.)
That’s a rather common argument. The glib answer is a reference to the Eichmann trial. To (slightly) elaborate, in such a scenario it would at least be only the second (or theirs, fourth...) best team working on the technology.

There are also instances of successfully preventing technology from becoming commonly used in warfare. Nuclear tech is one, but not a perfect fit because it requies huge investments. But chemical weapons are quite comparable to AI, in that any chemistry grad could create such weapons, yet they have been used far less often than mere feasibility would suggest.
Indeed we are. It really doesn't matter what should or shouldn't be illegal, the topic at hand is what defines child pornography. It does not seem to have a clear cut definition, and is entirely in the eye of the beholder. Some believe fiction is absolutely child pornography (as we saw in such legal proceedings), others believe that it requires a physical human to be present to facilitate in the creation of the content. There is nothing to suggest that it is actually cut and dry. Are Lolita and Miss Saigon child porn? Depends on who you ask.
I'm cautiously optimistic that increased AI use in the military is going to be a good thing for everyone.

Realistically we're not going to solve the problem of nation states wanting to protect their interests halfway across the world, which'll among other things mean killing some "combatants" from a drone.

But we can hope to do things like improve targeting, and a reduction in civilian casualties or collateral casualties. Right now the "AI" is some group of 20-somethings sitting behind a computer in Nevada, what if we trained an AI instead, and could e.g. hold legislative audits on what that software was configured to target?

> There is no blurry line here. Child abuse and child pornography are clearly defined terms.

In many places around the world it's clearly defined to include purely fictional depictions. It seems to be rare, but there have been convictions for possessing child pornography cartoons in the US.

It's a pity the flag -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero is eventually going to go away (there is -enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang). I understand their motive, but it would be great to use that flag and others like -fno-strict-aliasing etc. to make a "safe and friendly C" dialect. I.e. turning undefined behavior into "obvious" behavior when possible.
The progression was always towards more targeted weapons, because they have less collateral damage.
A therapist. No joke. In my case it _seems to be_ a coping mechanism for anxiety. I'm so afraid that I force myself to be successful. It goes under the radar because it's seen as healthy to the outside world, but inside is turmoil.

It was put best to me: Don't tell the dog it's not a chicken, we need the eggs.
Fair enough. I should note that Lolita, the book, has been called to be banned on several occasions though. Because the sexual nature of the book makes people uncomfortable.

In any case, a search engine (like Google or Bing) may decide to ban sexual content like Lolita, for being sexual + about underage minors.

As for an actual case of actually pornographic material, I have another example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18877901

I talk about an actual pornographic case in this post. A 14-year old girl sends a sexually explicit image to her boyfriend, and is therefore charged with distribution of child pornography.
That doesn't even make sense. The null hypothesis is assumed to be true, you don't go about proving the null hypothesis.
Is there a 1:1 relationship between the rotational speed of the black hole itself and the speed of the matter falling into it? If matter would fall straight (with 0 angular momentum) towards a rotating black hole, would its matter fall in straight, or would the black hole drag the matter into rotation?
I am not sure what you mean by "afraid to name it". I don't want to mislabel it. Just like it's not Jewish, or heterosexual, it's not male either.

We know there is one mostly based on wealth and income (if you're in the West), and then there are many local ones based pretty much on managerial position that people have in various companies. In general, it is culture-specific.

I personally think we would be better off without social hierarchies (in short, money shouldn't play role in politics and economy should be organized as cooperatives), and I don't see mislabeling it as "patriarchy" helping in any way to achieve that goal.
Who said there are many addicts?

I was stuck behind Cruise cars twice in the same week that went 2/3 of the way into an intersection and stopped until the light turned red and sat there until I honked the horn and, presumably, the safety driver took over.

The founder of Ring was back on Shark Tank as a shark himself not long ago. It's interesting to see how his perspective has changed since joining Amazon. He invented the product so he could hear/see the doorbell from his garage. But now he presents himself as some kind of social crusader, out to protect the world.

It's disturbing to see how many big tech companies have turned into surveillance and military companies lately.
That is certainly not the definition of fake news. Fake news is news that is reporting on things which are not factual as though they are. What you are talking about is simply a dishonest speaker, which obviously has everything to do with the speaker.
That's not a nice word for reviewers!
No. And it varies wildly - some Ruby files may run with just a couple characters (or even none) being different, and other may require a total rewrite.
It’s the old argument in favor of DRM and restrictive software licensing. “Think of the children” has long been used to prevent people from gaining access to warez and software cracks. As a famous man once said: “Software is like sex: it’s better when it’s free”
Is there any source to back up this claim that life is getting more difficult for Americans? Inequality has risen, but that does not mean that things are getting worse for those at the bottom ends of the wealth distribution. By most metrics (really, all of them other than home ownership and healthcare costs - both of which are primarily causes by an undersupply of housing and a growing cohort of old people, rather then inequality) life has continued to get better, even for the poor. Objective metrics like infant mortality, access to infrastructure like electricity and plumbing, educational attainment, all indicate positive trends. Measures of poverty based on post tax income and purchasing power indicate a drop in poverty by factors of two and five respecticely over the past 40 years [1].

The fact that many feel this way is an interesting perspective in and of itself. But perhaps more interesting is the fact that this is directly at odds with most objective metrics.

> The point is that the idea that you can steer the economy through economical theory is what is wrong here.

I don't understand. That statement is so obvious I would call it a tautology. Of course you can.
I had written this in response to a child comment but I guess I'll reply to this parent and collectively offer my supportive stance.

I'm not the parent poster, but I would wager his view is that governments should exist to enforce free competition. That is the source of disruption to the elites.
The current regime does not ensure free competition. It's crony capitalism, and the entrenched "elite" (NB: this is a ridiculously outdated term) has the government at their disposal to ensure that they remain in power. Exhibit A: Ajit Pai.

Reducing government is a reasonable proposal because it reduces the "attack surface" for corruption and crony capitalism. Surely that's got to be an analogy that resonates well with this audience...

EDIT: and let's leave the discussion over whether Healthcare and Education should be universal and free (as in fully subsidized), otherwise we'll never get anywhere. I'm personally in favor of both, but you need not agree / disagree on that to discuss the broader point.

Just because a property is unoccupied or unused doesn't mean it isn't owned by someone. You are still suggesting theft of private property. Just because a majority of people vote for something doesn't mean it is morally good. I think taxes are theft and immoral but I accept them because of what I believe about human nature.
I'd imagine that the use-case for this was e.g. aggregating core dumps via some sytsemd/journald-powered centralized logging from a fleet of machines so they could be collected & analyzed.

If you dump core locally and log the path you'll need other side-channel to do the aggregation.
Of course not. Oppression is baked into the system. It's by design. Marx explicitly describes it as necessary for abolishing the capitalist state and suppressing those who would undermine by attempting to engage in individual market activities.
Try a form of consequentialist nihilism

Now you have to cower to avoid an active shooter which is probably statistically more likely than a nuclear strike.
It's not the best example, but Ruby is the only language I can think of where an expression (e) fails to parse but ((e)) parses.

I find that it encourages a bad kind of code golf that leads to hard to maintain code.

I'm not really sure of that - I've met several who have other jobs, some surprisingly impressive. My last Lyft driver was pursuing a doctorate in business management - previously he was a chip designer after getting his master's in electrical engineering. I've got a friend who drove for Uber for a few months while owning a SaaS business that did about $750K/year in annual revenue - he wanted to see what all the fuss was about, plus at the time they gave you a free iPhone with the Uber driver app preinstalled if you signed up. I've got another friend down in LA who regularly shares stories of interesting Uberpools she's been in, and there are a lot of screenwriters and aspiring actors in the bunch - which may fall into the "day job isn't enough to make ends meet" category, but they certainly have an entrepreneurial bent.
No country has had true scotsmen, either.
If you want a real working democracy, look at Switzerland. Or maybe at very local, neighborhood level in the US here and there, at the scale where people actually care and know.

To note: the entire Switzerland's population is 8.5M, about the size of 5 boroughs of New York City. They have twenty six cantons, all with severely different policies, and 2222 municipalities. Of course most voting occurs at municipal level, then cantonal level.

To my mind, nowhere in the world any larger state managed to get to the "level of democracy" which is possible and has been demonstrably achieved at smaller scales.

What additionally exacerbates the situation in the US is the two-party system that effectively polarizes people instead of nudging them to look for compromises.

The electoral college made sense in 1770s, with a much smaller population, and very slow communication. By now, it results in interesting side effects that probably could be avoided using different mechanisms. Still I think that no large nation has deployed any such mechanisms to successfully achieve "real democracy" and not some form of oligarchy. Mass media is a major factor in that; national scale being hard to comprehend and relate to for a voter is another.
Ponder this: the very same economic policies attempted in Venezuela are almost equivalent to those attempted in Norway. The difference is one country had well-functioning democratic institutions and pre-existing prosperity, the other had widespread corruption and limited freedoms. The results are in plain view, and so are the lessons to be taken: democratic social ownership of common riches (in this case, oil) is a good idea, but stress on the democratic part.

My Dad (mid 70s in age) shares the fake news articles because he thinks they are funny. He still cannot believe that people take so much of this crap seriously. Of course, when you have an elected representative that thinks an island will tip over if you put too many people on it, its not hard to understand where critical thinking has failed.

But you might be inclined to complain about the leaking roof, the Escher-esq plumbing, or that the appliances only come in diy-kits with half the parts missing.

The thing about Linux is, there's all these evangelists out there who insist that everyone should use Linux (or that they are superior to you for doing so) and, when you tell them why you don't, insisting your preferences are wrong, your workflow is wrong, it works for them so you're a liar, or you should fix it yourself.

If it weren't for those people, I think the attitude towards Linux would be more like it is towards Haiku. No one really complains about it, they just don't use it.
