I don't think it needs to be that grand of a scale to fulfill the reasoning.

OP's example was a fellow taking time off and exercising his other interests in electronics by learning and experimenting.

Another example might be a hobby. A hobby is a great example of a leisure activity as its [usually] done completely for its own sake. For instance, a sheet metal worker who spends much of their time off work playing in an amateur cricket league [however unlikely and obscure an image that might be].

I don't think I understand, though, how you mean it puts anyone at odds with society. Could you elaborate?
A lot of services don't allow +uniqueSection in email addresses anymore; just bear in mind..
Judging by the amount of emails I get form them I think a good portion of those new people are part of their Creator Growth team (or whatever they call it). In the last year there has been a huge increase in Patreon created content trying to make creators better at getting more patrons.
It was the same way in all of healthcare when the ACA was passed--you should have seen the support from all those a-hole CEOs. Was going to be big money for them with no downside!
So what content creators have been denied service?
I don't know how true this is for others, but on-task discussion doesn't grate on my nerves like random off topic conversations. If someone is talking about some aspect of the project I am working on right next to me, I can handle that MUCH better than someone in another department 4 cubes away bloviating about what their kid wore to prom or who the Piggers beat the previous night ("YOU SHOULDA SEEN IT MAN!!").

I know that isn't the case for everybody, but I think I'd be quite comfortable in an 8 person war room as long as folks were actually working on stuff.
Some people believe their personal liberty gives them the right to infringe on other people's personal liberty. Those people sometimes call themselves "libertarians" in the US, when in reality they are anarcho-capitalists.
> The complexity of the so-called individual that’s been praised for decades in America somehow has narrowed itself to the ‘me’. When I was a young girl we were called citizens – American citizens. We were second-class citizens, but that was the word. In the 50s and 60s they started calling us consumers. So we did – consume. Now they don’t use those words any more – it’s the American taxpayer and those are different attitudes.

> Nowadays, all you do is hear the media's description of what the candidate is saying, and one of the strange things about it is that politics is now presented in terms of politicians and not politics. I don't think the media is interested in politics, they're interested in politicians, which is a wholly different subject... who's doing this, about their private life, about their background, about what they must be thinking, might be thinking when they said something, why did they say it; but what they say is very, very hard to hear. And I think this is, in a sense, indeed quite deliberately, destroying the genuine democratic base on which people are elected.

Another thing I find really tragic and harmful is how politics is considered as this dirty thing professional politicians do. If we all think that way, it truly is left to mostly crooks, people who meddle with it for gain or other motives, rather than citizens who try to bear the responsibility they have anyway. We need more Stav Shaffir's [0] in the world, and less cynicism and rationalizations for not doing anything, either.

I don't mean this as some kind of ad for a politician, but having seen a bunch of videos of her debating (often enough in front of empty seats or at people making faces at her, but that doesn't take one iota away from her sobriety and focus, which is something to behold), as well as how she came to get into politics in the first place, I really think she's one of the most inspiring people I've seen so far in the 21st century.

Apparently nothing, but from how I read it a lot of magic is going on underneath the covers (which I cannot really imagine, if react is as simple as it claims).
You're right but I think it actually needs so much more than that.

I've worked on both sides of enterprise software, firstly building and deploying Incredible Feats of Engineering in the face of Ludicrous Requests from the Idiot Clients, and then secondly as an actual front line worker, doing Work That Actually Matters in the face of ill-designed Utterly Broken Tools produced by Arrogant Engineers.

It's convinced me that "requirements gathering" in all it's forms just doesn't work, or at least is a currently unsolved problem.

If I ever set up a company it will be a kind of Gonzo software consultancy where my engineers take on long contracts, the first
year at least of which is just working entry level in the client company, actually carrying their actual workload, actually reporting up their chain of command. The only way anything is ever solved properly is when someone who genuinely understands and needs to solve the problem, also has the skills to do it. The current system of promoting talent away from real problems splits these two things up.

I think it's naive to treat all journalism as a monolith. There are certain outlets like the National Enquirer that are absolute garbage, i.e. Bill Clinton in jacuzzi with 2 aliens. Then there are reputable outlets like WaPo or NYT which have a lot of great work done. Those outlets also publish editorials/opinions which become politicized, but one can hardly blame those outlets as EVERYTHING is politicized these days (music, sports, film, TV, etc.)

"Papers, Please" has a significant intellectual (/moral) meaning; it's extremely reductive to characterize it as a game "where you're only meant to respond to stimuli relatively simply".

Just because someone's an asshole doesn't mean they're autistic.

VP9 is the same generation as HEVC and performs about the same so the only reasons to favor one over the other would be financial and client support. For many providers this means 3 copies: VP9 for Android, HEVC for iOS/Mac, and H.264 for older devices.

AV1 is newer and should offer improvements over both previous generation codecs. Hardware support will be a significant factor but it’s looking as if in a few years you’ll have the option to use one better format on most modern devices.

If the idea was for Australia to lead by example on all the ways to NOT regulate an increasingly digital world, we're doing a bloody good job.

I worked for Atlassian in Sydney. I know there's a pretty decent tech culture that is thriving in Sydney + Melbourne (and elsewhere, I'm sure). I really hope more of my colleagues find a passion for politics and get to a position where they can steer our clearly incompetent government in governance issues pertaining to technology.

In the meantime, does anyone have a clear idea of how this Act will even work? Lets talk in specific terms for something like Signal. I'm assuming Signal has no legal footprint in Australia. How/can Australia compel Signal to allow Australian enforcement agencies to snoop on conversations?

If they can't, won't one of the worst outcomes of this legislation be that any kind of technology company that needs to deal with encryption (which these days should be basically 100% of them) be forced to move overseas? How could a single Australian-based tech company have even the slightest scrap of credibility for data security when a law like this exists?

Final note - is anyone from Fastmail around here? I'm a Fastmail customer and this has me extremely concerned.

The Russell-type paradox is more interesting than the liar-type paradoxes since it is not susceptible to the same resolutions (though can be avoided with a theory of types).

I personally like how Obama viewed politics, as a game of football, perhaps like the recent "worst superbowl ever" where there is NOT much happening most of the time, just posturing/attempts. Lot of injuries, insults, fights, scandals, doping, but also occasionally beautiful plays that remind you sometimes teams are able to score. Analogy does break down on bi-partisanship, as ideally we'd get infrastructure, prescription drugs, and many other bi-partisan things done, and there are few "cooperative" things about sports when it comes to one team vs another.

A slightly-less trivial version of the liar's paradox would be:

Your cynical view of the legal system is based in urban legend more than fact. Attorneys are businesses: yes, they'll gladly take a client's money in order to prosecute a losing case, but a good lawyer will show extreme skepticism towards someone who doesn't have a case or the money to pay for it.

It's never a bad idea to consult with 2-3 attorneys with significant practice in the relevant area. When a case has merit - and fees could be awarded out of relatively deep corporate pockets - interest from attorneys will be readily apparent.
Now that hooks are out I'm seeing a lot of people ask whether it's worth learning a new API for. So in this article I've asked: is any part of hooks just obviously better, even when just starting out?

I travel for 8 weeks every, single, year. I've shit in plenty of buckets, gone for many days without showering, I've tent camped, DIY trailer camped - shit gets old ... fast. The ability for you to enjoy your trip, your family and small moments is severely hampered when even the easiest things (going to the bathroom) become a chore.

Sounds like you're young & single and looking for adventure. I have kids, have to work to support them and the novelty of crapping in a bucket, or in figuring how to wash my dishes with no running water isn't fun, or adventurous.

We now have a modest travel trailer with full bathroom and kitchen. We can cook meals, poop in peace and always choose "full hookup" campgrounds. Dry camping is fun ... for like 3 days and then everyone gets smelly, grumpy and wants some comfort.
You're attacking a strawman. No one is saying that all UUIDs are generated by CSPRNGs. Only that some are.

Regardless of what method you use to generate secrets, someone could later change the code to generate the same secret using a non-cryptographically-secure RNG. By that logic, alphanumeric strings should not be used as secrets either.

They sometimes have agreements to allow transfers between them, like the two Tokyo subways.

That's a pretty gross understatement.

There are more than a dozen companies operating public transport systems in Tokyo alone and it's all interconnected. They don't only seemlessly interconnect (via PASMO or SWICA smart cards), but they also share common designators for their station labellings.

So if you are going to use two different subway systems in Tokyo, you buy a transfer ticket and have to pass through a gate in the middle of your trip to transfer to the other system.

I remeber exactly that. But that was around the year 2000, where it was really difficult to use public transport without a guide as a foreigner. Today, with a smart card, consistent and unique labelling of every station, regardless who operates it, and all ticket machines talking perfect English it's a breeze.

Google is inherently a shallow net, it does not trawl the depths of information. It's made for finding what's easily seen on the surface, what's most interconnected/viewed by others/what Google wants to be on the surface.

If you learn to use Google scholar, for instance, you'll quickly find a skilled scholar searcher can find really great, really specific material. The question then is can you integrate and internalize that information, as Buffett does?

Ask HN: Internal StackOverflow for a large company. Penny for your thoughts
I work for a fairly sizeable software house (~1.5k employees, a large percent obviously being developers).

While plenty of communication systems are used within the company, I'd really like to lobby for launching an internal StackOverflow Q&A, for the sake of facilitating knowledge exchange.

My reasoning is that the gamification of the process - reputation points - would be a significant encouragement.

Some of the usecases I imagine would be

* troubleshooting (obviously nothing stops anyone from crossposting the question on "regular" StackOverflow; the question would have better visibility on the internal site though, plus the "same boat" factor, plus no concerns about leaking our client's data in some way);

* library / tooling recommendations; or anti-recommendations;

* follow-ups after internal seminars.

(I'd assume moderation not as strict as on the real SO, allowing for a tad greater subjectivity).

I believe it would be a much better and "alive" format than, say, an internal Wiki; owing to its democratic nature and lower involvement threshold.

Have you had any experience with such solution, in a similar context? What were the takeaways? Did it work? Or what made it fail / get nipped in the bud? What were the unforeseen pros and cons?

On the same note - any suggestions regarding the software on which to base it, if it's worth pursuing?

Stack Overflow Enterprise would seem to be the go-to choice, but there are plenty of open-source clones as well: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2267/stack-exchange-clones

Any insights would be very appreciated.
Nope. I know this might come as a shock, but some people think differently than you! I have killed animals for my own meat before and didn't feel a thing, except a little grossed out that there was blood on my hands. Meat is not murder. You are free to feel differently but that doesn't make me "in denial".
The vast majority of Patreon's user base (the artists getting patronage) are not producing anything that would get booted off of Patreon for. In order to compete, bitPatreon and SubscribeStar will have to compete on attracting Patreon's artists off Patreon.

(FTR, I'm mildly certain that many artists on Patreon might even find the policing of the Patreon platform to be a positive, because it means their name isn't associated with the names of people they find reprehensible. I'm concerned that alternatives such as bitPatreon and SubscribeStar will quickly gain the reputation of being a platform for people whose beliefs are considered reprehensible elsewhere, which automatically makes it difficult to market those alternatives.)

I’d like to introduce to the invention of marine toilets. They are small, portable, self-contained flushing toilets with a sealed waste chamber that is detachable and can be emptied (ideally into a permanent toilet). My in-laws have one on their boat that stores enough water for 27 “flushes” and it works great. 27 flushes is easily a weekend of waste management for a couple or small family, or could last a single person a week perhaps.
