Anyone who dissents from neo-liberalism. In the West today, you're allowed to be anywhere from "socialist" to center-right on economics, and center-left to far-left on social issues.

So, for instance, if you believe that "a woman is an adult human female" you are a "right wing extremist" because that is transphobic. Even if you are a left-wing, Marxist feminist, if you do not accept the assertion "trans-women are women" you are a "far right extremist."

On economics you have a little bit more freedom, because the West is a mercantile civilization and multi-national corporations are the nexus of power. But even the most "far left" Bernie Sanders-style "Democratic Socialists" aren't even actually socialist. They typically are not proposing the government own and control the means of production, they just want more generous welfare programs - which is not just compatible with neo-liberal capitalism, it's actually quite supportive of neo-liberal capitalism.

In 2019, the Emmanuel Goldsteins are "populists" and "nationalists." "Populism" really means "popular with disorganized masses, unpopular with organized elites." "Nationalism" is anything that interferes with the free flow of capital and labor in Western nations.

Even as recently as the 1990s, a far left figure like Noam Chomsky could point out that many of the "communist" movements in Latin America and Asia were not Marxist in any real sense, merely nationalist movements that wanted independence from Western colonialism.

Today, those assertions by Noam Chomsky would be considered "right wing populist nationalism" if they were applied to European nations, the USA and Canada, and Australia and New Zealand.
If the hands-off approach coincides with the site's "boom years", then an alternative view is that it was, in fact, a huge benefit.
To buy (on the open market) a 100 EUR zero-coupon bond issued by Germany, with 4 years left, you would need to pay more than 100 EUR. i.e. your reward for waiting for 4 years would be that you'd get almost all your money back.

10 year bonds yield just over zero. 5 years and lower yield even less than zero:

> Are there examples of companies that said “this is enough money” and stopped concentrating on having ever increasing profits every quarter to satisfy VC or stock investors?

Yes, except they're most often private companies and not publicly traded. Many of these inspirational companies are family owned and operated. Eventually, however, someone will get in charge of the company who isn't satisfied with "good enough" and they'll take the company public or accept investors and choose to place profit over concerns like customer satisfaction and employee well being. In other words, eventually someone will decide, "My pocket book is more important than the community I live in."

If you want inspiration, look at the Chelsea Milling Company, makers of Jiffy mix. It's nearly 90 years old, has approximately 65 percent of the pre-mixed cornbread market in the United States, and has never had a marketing department and does not advertise.

Well this guy is fun at parties.
Health and fitness are definitely the biggest bullshit magnets, probably because they're universal human issues with few easy answers.
If nothing else, it can at least be part of your hard drive: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13678/western-digital-reveals...

The main CPU is just one of many chips in a computer nowadays – even some cables have ARM-chips built into them to convert signals. RISC-V can probably be an even better fit there as its open design makes it a lot easier to customize it so that its tailored for such specific tasks.
In particular, this comment from the other discussion is worth calling out (no, I didn't write it): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19106955
I hear ya, and I personally understand that that's the case, thus if just the "connection" of my antenna to the tower reveals information I personally don't care to share then the natural next question is: "can I toggle the antenna off on my own device except when I want to reveal my location, or is that beyond my control as long as the antenna has power?"

I personally don't know that I mind it, but some people do and that's the question that is either allowed by some spec or isn't.

edit: furthermore, just connecting to the towers at all would give approximate information, unless it's connecting to multiples wherein they can triangulate. the other question would be "can I compromise and force my antenna into 'one tower at a time' mode" via some spec. Would I then affect my ability to do tower handoffs upon movement without having multiple tower connections? If so, do I care that my antenna is forced into single tower "approximate location" mode with drops upon new tower acquisition or not? What spec controls that and can I control it via root access to my device? See what I mean?

> and created discussion as to whether it could be abused.

But the conversation was kicked off by it being abused. The conclusion is already there.
Seriously. I’ve read some pretty extreme right wing views around the internet and NONE of them can be found on reddit (e.g. Charles Lindbergh’s views on ecofascism) (I’m a conservationist). It’s not a right wing haven. They’ve allowed a sub for the sitting president, but censored everything else that isn’t really tame.
While that's historically true about Amazon, they have switched to "profit mode" in the past few years, and their net income has grown incredibly.
> Reddit has long been plagued with censorship.

All forums are "plagued" in that way, though. This one too. Everyone who wants to run such a service has a personal idea of what expression is appropriate within the vision of the site and which ones aren't welcome. And everyone has personal sensitivities and makes moderation mistakes, too.

Honestly if reddit has failed, it's been in the opposite direction. They've been too lax with moderation and had to make rapid and disruptive course corrections when people point out the garbage they've been tolerating.

You have a first amendment right to express your opinions to anyone you want, but you don't have a right to do it on someone else's moderated forum.
In a sufficiently large population you can find individuals who will thrive under any given training regimen. In weightlifting the Russians would find those who did best under Russian methodologies; the Bulgarians would find those who did best under Bulgarian methodologies and so on.

And speaking of the heyday of Russian and Bulgarian supremacy, Crossfit doesn't submit to WADA jurisdiction and the non-competitors don't even get tested by Crossfit.
The quality score could go down which can lower rankings with too many broken links.

Google has at least 50-100 variables it checks and assigns different weights to.
Actually, in your example, the traders would be all over your 10 year bond.

The 1 year bond is yielding -0.1%. The 10 year bond is yielding more (-0.096%).
So as a customer, Amazon is just going to pay less if I tip a driver? I tip $0, I effectively only harm Amazon.

Do drivers see that they aren't being tipped before they drop off packages?
This is not the same language.

red-lang.org:

“Red’s ambitious goal is to build the world’s first

You've probably heard of the term "Full-Stack Developer".
But what is a full-stack Language, exactly?”
What was the licence? Did you have to run it on TI parts or something?
> Finally, efforts to police the literature need to be valued as highly as the publication of original data. It is more than ironic that systematic fraud is itself understudied.

Wonder if doing something like establishing "Bounties" (aka Security Bug Bounties in software) would start things in the right direction?

Sounds like there'd be no shortage of targets and low hanging fruit though.

Also, who'd fund it?
“The so-called "drug war" is really a war on ourselves.”

No it’s not. It’s a war on (certain) drugs (when used by certain people).

It’s a tool that rose up in response to the erosion of more traditional police led means of control for poor and ethnic minority communities and the counterculture.
Polluted crawl error reports won't effect organic rankings, but they will make it harder to discover a legitimate page that is broken, but shouldn't be.
You're right, and I'm ashamed that despite having a disability myself (visual impairment), I missed this.

By age 25, he should have had a job. His parents should have encouraged him to pursue a line of work that can be done remotely, such as programming, design, writing, or tech support. The people who came to his funeral from far away should have included his coworkers.
>I don't think a large bank that does $50mm in illegal transactions did any more harm than a small one that did the same volume.

The large bank can continue to do damage if they are caught, while the small one cannot. Thus they definitely do more harm, and at the very least will be perceived to have effective immunity from the law.

If you only fine thieves proportional to the value of the stolen goods, then all you're doing is saying it's ok to steal so long as you are sufficiently wealthy. (And if you became wealthy through theft... then you've made a legitimate living through damage to society.)
Bloomberg loves the low returns and interest under government control.
One way to deal with the many available operating systems is to use OSAL. It's an abstraction layer for embedded OS (and POSIX). Admittedly I have mixed feelings about it since it creates work when debugging in a new OS: you need to trace which OS call OSAL is using.
Amen to that. Too many pages are complex for no real reason.
Vs unhedged bund. Pretty lame.
Eh. Minivan means you have kids to worry about. Buick is basically dead in the states but is a viable brand in China for some reason.
Different sort of image ;)
Reddit was already acting like China, so there's no change there.
Sorry, I thought you were replying to me, but you were replying to that other comment. I agree that the dead are spared cruelty, and this wouldn't be considered cruel.
I've been into livecoding for a while, and never heard of Orca until now. You're right, there is a lot more to Orca when you dive into their site and other projects. I have been playing with living on a boat my whole life, so it was refreshing and inspiring to read their logs.

I am interested in porting Orca-c to Windows by ridding it of Posix dependencies, but I am not sure how much of a task this is going to be. Also, I didn't see any links or dependencies to SuperCollider, Soundpipe, or other sound engine/dsp libs.

EDIT: I now see it is just MIDI output to your MIDI device, so no need for sound engine or DSP lib.
If you work at a nice restaurant you can make a lot of money with tips. Even at a nice sit down place (not super fancy) with food, appetizers, drinks etc you end up with 120 dollars a table of 4 or 5, a tip on that is 18-30 bucks. If you cover 4 tables in an hour that 72-120/hour. I don't know if you are going to get paid that on a non tip basis.
You moved your own goal post. :P True ownership doesn’t require “skin in the game” or feeling any burn, or really any work at all. Buy stock, get money. Why beat around the bush with working hard and feelings?
And apparently this is some kind of Red-based markup language. So it's technically something you can do with Red. Still not that exciting.
Back when standards mattered, state changes were only in PUT, POST, and DELETE
What I didn't get from the article is a "so what". Why does this matter? Or maybe they did explain why it matters, and I just don't have enough knowledge to understand.
One of the amazing possibilities with RISC-V will be how it democratizes chip designing and by that opens up the ability to innovate in an area of computing that so far has been reserved to a selected few.

RISC-V isn't really about price or performance – it's about innovation, agility, exploration and new frontiers.
I guess being against censorship is inherently hypocritical given you're trying to censor the censors. I'll have to live with that hypocrisy.
In my experience of the past 5 years: yes. Substantially better idea-to-production latency, given a high minimum standard for releaseability.

Little's Law is instructive. There are two ways to increase throughput in a system. One is to reduce latency. The other is to increase in-process inventory. They have very different dynamics.
In the foundations of physics we haven't seen progress for the past four decades
Sorry, that's a sunken cost fallacy.
As good a reason as any to stop using Prime Now. Unfortunate, because it was pretty useful.

Then again, between the fulfillment center conditions, stealing tips from drivers, the over the top IP restrictions ("we own everything our employees do"), or the way it yanked around all those cities for HQ2... I suppose if folks valued worker conditions they'd probably already being untangling themselves from Amazon.
Can you opt out of location service for 911 calls ? One the one occasion I had to call 911 from my cell phone, I had to laboriously go over my address. There was more friction than ordering pizza since there was a lot of back and forth over the address. So I don't know what this back channel for gps data for 911 does anyway. And ultimately, it seems like a reasonable tradeoff for people to make on their own if they don't want enhanced 911. Cell phone operators will still get other auxiliary and approximate data from towers, but I don't want an API for them to request more precise location.
BSD license according to this: http://www.ti.com/tool/TI-RTOS-MCU#descriptionArea

It does compile with gcc, but I don't trust it with gcc. At least with TIVA TM4C processors, it would not boot. I suspect they don't test with gcc as well as with their own compiler.
I remember using some web accelerator 15-20 years ago. Prefetching all links on webpages. It was really helpful on modem/ISDN connection.

Standalone program on Windows XP (or maybe Windows 98?). It had it's own window where you could see which pages it was loading.

Does anyone know the name?
Oh wow. I didn't know about the SA part. That changes everything. You could almost call that attempted murder.
Forgotten? It's constantly talked about, like now
If you don't have to support IE11, there has been a very interesting trend of JS Proxy based state managers (immer, react-easy-state, overmind, etc.). It reduces the boilerplate compared to redux while giving basically the same architecture. I have been using my own implementation, because react-easy-state did not work well with styled components (https://github.com/UgnisSoftware/lape), while I was building https://github.com/UgnisSoftware/Ugnis if you want to see this approach in use.
Using that logic, the CIA and almost every company in existence is functionally equivalent.

This is just sloppy thinking. You have to show evidence for your opinions. In this particular instance, do you have any specific evidence?
My experience: I had some fun off and on with Arduinos but they tended to have excessive power consumption for the kinds of wearables I wanted to build and maybe productionise. So I switched to ultra low energy ARM Cortex SOCs like the STM32 from ST Micro. It was way harder than I was expecting (re-learning C was the easy bit!), but still good fun controlling clocks, DMA and other features in order to boost battery life from hours on an Arduino to days and weeks. I was toying with putting it into production but as I started to learn more it quickly became clear with only weekends and occasional weekdat it'd take me a lifetime to achieve that dream unless I had a bucket load of money with which to outsource. Your mileage may vary but maybe do it anyway just for the interest factor; if nothing else I feel I've lifted the curtain on how all these magical devices around us function :)

PS: STM's private (but free) Udemy courses were a great help getting me started. The written documentation online is aimed largely at professional electronic engineers and not so much at newbie hobbyists!
35% of the top 400 came from poverty? That’s actually much higher than I thought it would be and pretty dam remarkable.

At least in the US, less than 35% of the population actually lives in poverty.
Ask HN: Business insurance for SaaS startup
We are starting to offer our SaaS product to the clients. We incorporated a company and I am looking at what other things we should be getting.

The largest possible risk for us is that in a freak accident all our databases get wiped out and the clients need to go back to paper-based process or use another vendor. The service we offer costs $100 a month. I assume in first year we will make $20k or less. In T&C we have we don't guarantee that any level of service will be provided or the fact their data will be available to them at a constant basis.
There’s no security gain from going to HTTPS if the site is served over HTTP, but there’s a small speed hit.
Maybe you are right, but I have a chat with a person who did meta-research and as I understand they dig into articles, looking for methodology, and if they found methodology good enough they would incorporate that article into their meta-research.

It impies trust in good intentions of others. But not the blind trust that anything was done by a scientist was done good.

If logbook can be used to verify that data processing methods was picked before the first experimental subject came to a lab, then it is already a good sign. It could be much harder to do some p-hacking like [this](https://io9.gizmodo.com/i-fooled-millions-into-thinking-choc...).

I find if I've over trained I can't sleep overnight whether aerobic or weights, but if I run a long way I need to sleep immediately afterwards. I think everyone is different, there's no one size fits all
The more work I do, the more trash I generate. That doesn't make the trash the reason for my success, and doesn't earn the trash an honored central place at my table.
How would tencent owning a minor stake in reddit allow it to censor the site? Or is this outrage mostly because tencent is a Chinese firm?

I mean, censorship only works if you have the government backing you, are people legitimately fear the US government is going to bow down to a Chinese company?
Hard to trust fully. Hiking, I have found if I go too long without drinking I hit a wall where suddenly everything is twice as hard; I don't die but in a matter of minutes I go from "what a great day" to "how am I ever going to do this". Then I drink water, and I feel better. Thirst really hasn't been a great indicator, and I've had to settle on drinking a measured 16oz every hour, depending on conditions & exertion.

I just stopped using Doordash. I’ve had drivers drive hours out of their way to pick up food because doordash had incorrect restaurant location data. I’ve had orders where drivers just drive home and never pick up my order. Each time it is hellish trying to get support to do anything about it.

Doordash, like most food delivery services, takes much more of a cut out of the delivery experience than the value they provide. These apps are glorified CRUD apps with little differentiating them. If anything goes wrong it often is a nightmare, and I’ve never had an experience where one of these apps has correctly detected and fixed an issue with a delivery—each time I have to identify then fight their dark patterns to get a human to help me.

Uber categorically improved taxi service for consumers at the very least. These food delivery apps have honestly made the experience worse for consumers and for drivers.
Off topic: I love the Jiffy Mix except last I checked it has trans fats in it. I wish they would remove that.
The communication between the user and example.com downloading the page referring to your script is secured by their SSL if they have it.

Separately to that, the communication between the user and your server when downloading your script is secured by your SSL. This can be secure even if example.com is not, so it should only be secure.
I would guess an exodus from the other side too. Even though I'm not French, if Google blocks France...it affects me.

I'd have to quit hosting my things on Google's cloud, app engine, Google drive, analytics, etc, if I expected people in France to be able to see it.
What you’re talking about is the coupon, not the yield. Say you have Bunde that was sold at 100 EUR. The coupon is 4 EUR. So the coupon is 4%. The yield however depends on the current market price. To calculate the yield you take the coupon and divide it by the current market price. Because bonds mature into each other, that is a 5-year issued 4 years ago should be the same as a 1-year issued today, both bonds will have the exact same yield.

So effectively all the old bonds turn into new bonds, all linked to the same yield. This is why yields can be negative, it’s not like a negative yield bonds means you are paying someone. It just means that the price is so high the effective return is negative (remember that you get the face value of bond back after it matures)

One exception to this rule is newly issued bonds. Because of regulations and rules, some institutional investors must buy bonds direct from the treasury. This means that they often trade a premium (they have a lower yield) compared to old bonds.

Bonds can be a little counterintuitive because when bond prices go up, yields go down. So negative yields actually mean that market is very bullish.

You might then ask, why would anyone purchase a negative yield bond? Well, there are a couple different reasons: a) they have to, due regulations or internal rules. b) they are speculating on interest rates or currency. Or c) they are speculating on the bond market (related to b).

Bonds can be complicated because they have exposure to a lot of factors: rates, inflation, equities, debt, etc. But they are useful instruments because they have intrinsic value: they simply pay a fixed coupon and then the principal after N-years.
Things like Breiman’s ACE (alternating conditional expectation) are also qualitatively different, in many ways more magical, but it is still just statistics.
Yeah. I tried tipping a waiter in Japan, he was genuinely offended. Here in the UK I'll occasionally say keep the change to bar staff in my local but I'm an outlier and it's not expected. America crazy with their entire tipping culture.
I don't doubt that money is one of the major driving motives of almost everything we do.

My point is I fail to see how your comment, regardless of its truthfullness, adds value to the discussion.

If there already exist murderers, is it okay for you to become a murderer?

What the article suggests is without proper checks and balances in-place, the new system could easily be used against Kenya people. And I totally agree. But to stop it, we need to find out the root cause of the problem.
