I think OP means religion in the framing context of spiritual belief in a moral philosophy, less in which flavor of the god of Moses you want to throw your sword behind.

Consumerism is, in large part, a religion. Its just, as you describe, a really shitty one. Capitalism for the capitalists is a religion. Totalitarianism for the dictator is a religion. I'd bet a lot of the animators and artists working at Disney and Pixar treat their business model and the company proper as a religion - the experience, the intent, the purpose behind what they do. For the shareholders its just to make gross amounts of money by owning all culture, but for those in the trenches giving their blood they probably feel like they are creating joy and that is a valuable pursuit.

Same for those working at Space X or Tesla or probably even Google and Apple. Most of the employees at those companies drink the kool-aid and have faith.

In those regards, anyone who is just existing, or anyone without faith - and it need not be more complicated than just faith in humanity or the potential for good in people or the promise of the future - is living a hollow, pointless life. And I'd buy that argument.
I met him at a talk about a year ago, I would agree he is somewhat egotistical, but he didn’t come off as arrogant - which was interesting.

Not since the NBN came about. Infra is owned by NBNco after they bought out Telstras infra (forced).

Before that Telstra owned an ageing, choppy and slow copper network and that was your monopoly unless another ISP decided your area was populated enough to set up something.

I admittedly have it much easier living in a metro area, but I have about 80 ISPs to choose from. But my relatives are all over Australia and the majority of them have at least a FTTN network to use now.

I still suspect it will be sold back to Telstra and/or privatised and it'll go to hell again, it's already been majorly neutered.
an opportune time to unionize, if you ask me...
It's not a barrier if no one understands you, still many years of learning to do. To make a sound you first need to hear it many times and be able to recognize and distinguish it.
I completely agree, Atheists should get the same treatment as religious people for dates and practices that are important to them.

Obviously I don't want to tell other people how to practice their beliefs, but I never understood why, for example, Atheists don't put up memorials to important humanists (or something else meaningful to them) next to the Nativity scenes and Menorahs that people put up in public during the Holidays.

Ask HN: How Much Are HN People into Sneaker Culture? Especially Hyped Sneakers?
Asking this as there's this podcast called CEOs wear sneakers (by K Swiss, a sneaker company) and I see this trend emerging more and more among tech people — I don't know whether it's just my feeling.

How much are you into hyped sneakers? They don't have to be Yeezys, which are the go-to when someone says "streetwear" — could be your Nike Zoom Fly.

I can tell you with a high level of confidence that this is a Google PR stunt. Google executives conjured up a protest to force their hand acting against the interests of the board of directors and shareholders. Without a forced hand, executives would have been sued by shareholders for breaching fiduciary duties and terminated from their positions. The former executives would also forfeit their compensation packages because of acting so "unreasonably".

Executives wanted to end forced arbitration because it was unethical. They agreed that compelled arbitration was wrong. At the same time, no one was justifiably willing to give up a hard-earned career of a lifetime. Capitalism is not gentle to those who defy it.

This protest reads like a Pepsi commercial. They should win an Oscar this Sunday.
“I always found that mysterious, and I do not know the reason why it is that the correct laws of physics are expressible in such a tremendous variety of ways. They seem to be able to get through several wickets at the same time.”

Conjecture: because this conversation is necessarily taking place in a universe where a certain level of intellectual and technological development was able to happen, which means one in which there is an evolutionary path to attaining such, which means one in which you can build a series of models of the universe, each progressively more accurate, but the early ones still give usefully accurate predictions.
There is nothing in the Bible to change the day from Sabbath to Sunday. As others have already noticed that happened literally hundreds of years later.

As for homosexuality that is actually specificity mentioned several times in the New Testament. It is one of the very few Levitical laws expressly mentioned as still in force in the New Testament. However, in fairness those same passages also call out those who are adulterous, slanderous, greedy, and drunkards with equal force.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NIV)
9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Yes. The anti-democratic nature of philanthropies is a feature not a bug.

> His general argument was that endowments should be permitted, in some cases even celebrated, but that they should never be perpetual and that the state must always retain the right to intervene in a philanthropic endowment. His baseline conclusion: “all endowments are national property, which the government may and ought to control.”

Does this include the ACLU? It's been around for nearly 100 years, has a massive membership, a massive budget, and is the recipient of multi-million dollar endowments. The ACLU does important work advocating against government misconduct and abuses. The ACLU _should_ operate in perpetuity. It provides an important out of band check on government power, regardless of the popular democratic sentiments of a given year or decade.

Property rights are the foundation guaranteeing the ACLU's independence. It is the means by which the government encourages a diversity of institutions. By declaring "all endowments are national property" Mills is undermining this basis.

What Mills really had a problem with was the outsized influence of the church in his time. And he works backwards from that state of affairs to come his conclusions.
Paradoxically, the US, where many people take religion very seriously, has quite few religiously based public holidays. Switzerland, on the other hand, is much more secular, but some cantons literally have a dozen Christian public holidays, e.g.: Epiphany (Jan 6), St Joseph's Day (Mar 19), Good Friday, Easter Monday, Ascension Day, Whit Monday, Corpus Christi, Assumption of Mary, All Saint's Day, Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Christmas Day, and Saint Stephen's Day.

Beautiful sentiment. I'd love if more people applied some basic thought to their lives, instead of just wandering into the melting pot of dystopia. Not too long ago, people had the freedom to speak their minds without being crushed by the cookie-cutter opinions espoused by virtue signalers. I long for that, I long for when we relished intellectual stimulus, instead of just reaching for what's easy, and fits inside our comfort zone.
1. There will always be unhappy people regardless of their income.
2. Extreme population density is not for everyone. Just the sheer frequency of daily subconscious eye contact in a megapolis must be extreme by e.g. 50-100 years ago standard. There should be some self-limiting mechanism in human population. Maybe that’s the factor provoking the unhappiness and decline.
Rates of gambling addiction are tiny compared to other kinds of addiction (0.5-1%).

More to the point though, the absolute worse way to help people who are sick is to criminalise their sickness. By legalising gambling you can generate money to invest in harm prevention.

The way the US approached the issue has led to terrible outcomes for gambling addicts, funding for organised crime, and has led to the creation of a powerful lobbying groups (in Las Vegas Sands/Adelson) that obstructs progress.

It is kind of bizarre to see these comments in the 21st century. For the rest of the world, these issues have been solved.
Federal law trumps state law when they're in conflict. There's no conflict between federal law saying that it's illegal, and state law not saying that it's illegal. And when state legalizes it, all that means is that they're repealing state laws making it illegal.

The case itself wasn't about whether federal law trumps state law, though. It was about whether the federal law in question is constitutional in the first place - i.e. that the federal government has authority granted to it by the Constitution to prohibit a person growing marijuana plants for their own private consumption (i.e. not for sale, and especially not for sale across state lines, which would then obviously be "interstate commerce"). The plaintiff was arguing that since it's personal use and not interstate commerce, it's out of scope of the federal law. The reason why state law was relevant is to show the exact nature of harm suffered - if not for federal law, the plaintiff would have access to medical marijuana to alleviate his pain.

SCOTUS upheld an earlier decision from Wickard v. Filburn, which basically states that any production and consumption is "interstate commerce", because it affects market prices - if you grow something for your own use, you're not buying that something on the market, the reasoning went. I suggest reading about both decisions, just to see how ridiculous some of our legal reasoning is. And then keep in mind that those decisions are the only thing that makes many federal laws constitutional - it's not just drug prohibitions, but e.g. the Civil Rights Acts.

So both the left and the right have a stake in maintaining this interpretation - both want to be have broad regulatory authority on the federal level, just for different reasons. It doesn't make it any less flawed or ridiculous, but I wouldn't consider it an example of partisan court bias.
Haha fair enough. Thanks for the laughs buddy!
That would make it completely uninteresting for me. I can already run Replicant on GTA04.
> If you have a problem with gambling, take that up with your legislators

Legal != Ethical

It's perfectly reasonable for people to be upset about things that are legal. In fact, almost every new law originates under those conditions.
It’s amazing that today the idea of employing 4,000 crafts people is novel but this is really a very cool story of doing business the same way for generations.
Interesting how when it was top-voted comment it read more as the light-hearted poking of fun which I intended (I really have no problem with Wolfram, I think he's funny). But now it has been demoted to the bottom of the thread it has started getting lots of downvotes and somehow reads (even to me) as being mean and bitter.

Curious example of how the thread position/reaction of others really primes how we receive a comment.
I think this video highlights as a leader being the 'bad guy' in a meeting because they are demanding excellence to a specific vision/goal and their subordinate's output isn't meeting their expectations.

There are no personal attacks, just critiques on the thought process, output and plan (or lack of planning), all of that is fair game. The dev(?) even admits at ~25:40 that they should be taking notes and fixing what is pointed out.
Nothing ensures I'll never see it again more than bookmarking it and closing the tab in hopes that I'll one day read it. Out of sight, out of mind.

That's because we actually do have a partisan SCOTUS, with all that entails. Words like "originalism" and "textualism" - or "living constitution" for that matter - are mostly thrown around to justify certain partisan positions, and ignored with others. I wouldn't consider Scalia to have been an originalist, for example.

Yeah, that’s a far cry from telling people to stone them to death, drop a wall on them, or some other nonsense. “You’re not going to heaven” is a nasty thing to say to someone, but it’s a long way from roadhauling them or denying them employment. Having said that I do find myself intrigued at the notion of Christians making cholent and employing a Shabbas goy.
I guess this might be "whataboutism" but Tesla for example has missed manufacturing production targets regularly. Innovation isn't 100% predictable, and I think most people understand that.
And those problems exist whether you ban gambling or not. Do you think that no-one is addicted to heroin because it is illegal? It is kind of farcical.

If you regulate gambling properly, you actually have tools to control harm. If you don't, then you are increasing harm.
> Well that is a click baity title

From the article:

> “People are trying to teach you to come in and trade actively in stocks,” he told his audience. “Well, I regard that as roughly equivalent to trying to induce a bunch of young people to start off on heroin.”

It's actually a pretty accurate description of the most sensational part of his speech.

Wide spread comments on how fit and finish were lacking. It could be attributed to growing pains but perhaps the real story is that Consumer Reports can take 3% off your market cap in a day.. yikes

As someone who works in web development in the UK (and who's writing an article about this very topic):

1. You're far less well paid than in Silicon Valley. Wages vary by region, but in many European countries, developer wages are closer to standard office worker ones than the rockstar ones at Google and Facebook.

2. Tools are often a bit more basic/old fashioned, and design is usually the same. In fact, I'd say the vast majority of the tech world is usually about 2-3 years behind the valley in terms of tech knowledge and tooling and best practices, and that time gap jumps up further and further the smaller the town/less tech savvy the company.

3. Perks are a mixed bag. Some companies have all the ping pong tables and arcade games and free food/drink associated with startups, some just offer you an office environment and say get to it.

4. Quality of work is usually less interesting. Lots of CRUD apps, small business websites, CMS themes, etc. Very few projects that have the goal of 'changing the world'.

5. The workforce is usually more diverse than in Silicon Valley. For all the comments about women in tech and diversity, my experience is that it's more of a problem with Silicon Valley unicorns than other businesses and agencies. Probably because they're not mostly hiring graduates from a select few universities.

6. The ease of getting a job varies. Usually you don't have much in the way of Google esque logic tests, but you'll probably have a few coding challenges to prove you know what you're doing. These challenges will be extremely easy for someone with FANG experience.

7. There is far less interest in personal projects, side hustles, and other such things among developers outside of Silicon Valley and other major markets. Most devs in these places are basically salarymen, they code because it pays the bills and spend their free time doing other stuff.

8. This lack of interest also seems to extend to the companies themselves when it comes to marketing their tech and culture. In fact, I suspect most European companies are absolutely terrfied of inbound marketing, and have no idea how to update a blog on a regular basis.

9. Working practices are often a bit dated as well. A lot of development is still done with the old 'have the designer create a PSD and get the developer to turn it into a website' mentality, and waterfall style project management methodologies haven't been replaced by agile in many of these organisations either.

So yeah, basically the reality for the average dev outside of Silicon Valley is working on a CRUD project with tech and design that's about 3 years behind the cutting edge with a team that build sites as a profession rather than a 'passion'.
You could use a struct with private fields, e.g.

type Users struct{
dict map[string]*User
list []*User
}

and attach methods to both access the data and coordinatedly update both forms, e.g.

func (us *Users) byID(id string) *User { ... }
func (us *Users) sortedByID() []*User { ... }
func (us *Users) addUser(id string, nu *User) {
dict[id] = nu
list = append(list, nu)
...
}
I am sorry for your loss. It may very well may have been due to the radiotherapy. Left Breast cancer patients were at greatest risk. The Left Anterior Descending (LAD) has been identified as the "Organ At Risk."

We used to treat the heart as a parallel organ, like the lungs; damage a piece with no significant harm to the overall function. We've discovered that it may be a serial organ, like the spine; damage a piece and you impair the entire organ. Or in this case the LAD is a critical element.

The mechanism of action is believed to be accelerated atherosclerosis; hardening of the artery leading to blockage:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4188157/

We now use breath hold techniques and completely spare the heart, but mistakes were made -- that only a long retrospective review of the data was able to reveal:

That's what they've done for the Aurea/Update CRM and they are trying to do it with Qlik. Sencha is a great example of where they buy a company, fire devs, and then hope and pray they can continue with the same revenue due to client inertia.
It can be implemented on a per-company basis, just as sanctions often are.
It may mean that to the employer. To the employee, it means "I'm a psychopath with zero human empathy."

And to the jury, it probably means "You lose; pay the man."
Unpaid work is unpaid work (wage theft), full stop. You're not paid for 40 hours and then "heh, you're on call outside of 9-5 for the next week, but that's what you're paid for". Call it what it is: wage theft.

No backup?

With a proper backup, it should be capable of a complete system wipe and restore within several hours. And that's a lot faster, cheaper and simpler than having to deal with random cyber terrorists (or a catastrophic system breakdown due to electricity supply surges).

My cynical side and bad experiences have taught me if the new guys are saying it it might be true. If the old owner is saying it, it might as well be a lie because they can't back it up even if they think they're being honest.

When the new owners figure out what they actually want to do it's easy enough to get rid of the messenger. Either fire them or they leave in a huff.
The baseband they're using is PLS8, which offers firmware updates via its USB interface.

"Library for calls" is there - three options actually. ModemManager, oFono and freesmartphone.org. I've personally contributed PHS8 support to the latter a few years ago when preparing for a different PLS8-based project ;)
Ah I definitely do. Although not as eloquently as you :)
The first refund was for someone who said it "wouldn't stop running". It's electric. There is no engine to run. Isn't it supposed to just sit and do it's own thing when you walk away from it?

Also the author of this article sure writes a lot of articles critical of tesla. In fact, all of them seem to be about tesla. Seems CNBC, or at least this reporter, has a pretty obvious bone to pick with them.
Then I most likely have the timeframe wrong. It was RIGHT when the Core 2 Duo came out. It was just the MacBook though... not a Pro. November 2006 sound right?
