Well, the Chinese government is bad but the us is led by people who are chaotic evil, increasing the chance for the us do immoral things - and it's not like things such as supporting Saudi Arabia in Yemen started with our current loser leader. The citizens of most countries would probably like to be free of concern about the world ending or pointless wars. Unfortunately both places have sizable groups of nationalistic-oriented people who are hugely pumped up about saying "their country" is the world's greatest, exceptional, etc, so bellicose comments have too much support.

While we are tearing apart our democracy in the us step by step, we'll eventually get a different leader who is more interested in doing useful things and less interested in a cult of personality and less interested in doing any venal thing to get support for his base. Meanwhile, China is stuck with a dear leader for life. The country grows ever more powerful, but also is increasing in it's terrifying Orwellian oversight. I'm afraid that China will show it's possible to watch everyone all the time and crush freedom and then other western authoritarian leaders will follow suit.
But isn't the primary point of the canaries to give people the information that the government has been requesting some sort of information? A secondary point would be that this might prevent the government from doing so in the first place.
Also anything that you can sell as high value, to support your high margin. Hence the craft beer, artisanal soap, etc. (see also Etsy and co.) But usually that doesn't require people to start a small business, nor do most of these etsy shops are really able to support/become one.

By political pressure they mean pressure from a political entity, that is, a government. That's what I'm assuming anyways, I'd love for a Cloudflare representative to confirm.
> Interesting that no self-cleaning (or mate-cleaning) behavior has emerged.

Actually, several behaviors have already emerged. Bees can groom each other to remove the mites, and they can also display hygienic behavior where they open up cells with infected larvae and removed them.

Apis mellifera has not historically lived with Varroa, but it's close relatives have and they successfully developed a stable host-parasite relationship with the mites. Wild honeybees left alone have quickly (a decade or two) adapted to the mite to develop this same stable relationship. Insect generations are short which enables more rapid evolution. In this case, the re-emergence of some now strongly adaptive alleles.

There are many beekeepers today breeding honeybees with these specific behaviors in mind, to avoid the need for chemical treatments. This is not the norm, but it's taking on more importance in the face of an escalating arms race - mites can evolve resistance to chemical treatments, too. It's also not just these behaviors that help honeybees live with mites. Many of the ways humans keep bees commercially to make things easier for us actually make things harder for the bees.

This is a remarkable story. Fortunately, this ETSI-backed "ETS" standard appears to have just about zero uptake or internet presence, let alone vendor acceptance. So although this is fairly outrageous based on the EFF article, it doesn't look like something that's a big threat to TLS at this point.

PS. I can't even get ETSI's website to load! https://www.etsi.org/

The name "Brooks" unfortunately fits both the second and fourth of these examples, making it even weirder.

Rust: Higher Kinded Types
> This will never stop happening for any given discipline, however, will it?

No, it won't. However, my experience has been that programmers, for some reason, are much more likely to engage in such behavior. They wade in to a discussion on something technically complex, yet completely out of their wheelhouse, clutching a few cherry-picked academic or pseudo-academic citations, which they then use to argue definitive conclusions on certain points they believe. Someone on this site once referred to discussions where people trade anecdotes on a contentious subject as "anecdote poker"; I would refer to this similar behavior as "citation poker".
The unfortunate reality of the situation is that a lot of these disparities have to do with culture. Wealthier neighborhoods tend to be white and asian as those cultures tend to instill pursuing a higher level of education in their children as well as a few other positive values I could mention.. As long as politically correct leftists (a majority in this country) keep turning a blind eye away from these hard truths, and refuse to put their boot on the ground, these communities will unfortunately continue to be afflicted by their own culture.

Not at all. It's factually true. The burden of proof is to point to one of those references as convincing, otherwise you are just handing someone reference material and asking them to do the work.

Didn't they modify the DNS responses of mit.edu to point back to MIT (during the 2013 domain hijack incident)? This canary seems a bit ambiguous.
I was the one who converted Google's CLA system from "Please fax us this form" to a web form. At the time (2007, 2008?) I added all the fields from the fax template to the web form. But we dropped the phone number & physical address years ago. And they were optional even before that.

Nowadays we ask for your name, email address, and optional GitHub username.

But they do get status. With their teachers. With their parents. And, probably the most important, with their peers, aka other nerds.

This is just false, real balsamic is easy to find and I have several bottles in my cabinet. There's even specialty stores that have a huge selection. Sure, its expensive, but so is other aged and concentrated products.

I don't think the "holier than thou" attitude is really necessary, there's no point in telling people they are eating/enjoying the "wrong" foods or that your tastes are so much more sophisticated than the peons, which is what this post boils down to.

I enjoy "proper" tomatoes and tomato based dishes (especially caprese with good quality ingredients) but I would never eat a tomato like I'd eat an apple. I very much enjoy a really good quality olive oil with bread, but I would never call it a "feast," nor do I consider it a particularly healthy choice. If the nutritional value/fullness were the same, I'd still pick the kitkat over vegetables many days. I think the fake truffle oil is nasty, but I don't go around putting down people who enjoy it, which many do. I also don't drink low quality beer, but I'm not running around putting down people who do.
> The people who created that technological leverage are far from median workers, and earn many times the median wage.

If the issue was, as you are implying, one of distribution, we should be seeing income inequality growing while the wage share of the national income stagnates.

That's not at all what is happening. The wage share has been steadily declining since the 80s. The truth is that shareholders not workers got the lion share of the productivity increase.
On my personal projects, I like writing the documentation.

What I specially like is having the documentation live right next to the software, typically in the same repository.
That way, you have a clear incentive to update it when doing change in the code, and it's also clearly versioned with the software (1000 thanks to read the doc), you can also treat gap in the documentation as bugs.

However, writing good documentation can be really hard. As the developer, you are, at the same time, the best and worst placed person to document. Best because you know exactly how the software is supposed to work, and worst, because you might miss documenting things that seems obvious to you, but not to the user.

Lastly, as a developer, it can be hard to take a step back, and give a higher level view of the documentation, not diving directly into too much details.

For that, having reviewing from an external eye, and feedback from users can be really helpful.
Yeah, cities are expensive. Outside the city you can still buy a house on a single income. Not a big one, though. Still, compared to the house my parents bought when I was 6, houses have clearly become a lot more expensive.
That all sounds like it's well thought out - two questions.

So your entire thing is that it's a race to the bottom? What is the purpose of it all then, and how do you think this goes for the next two or three decades?
I could not disagree more.

Regardless of the article itself, I think this mechanism is the future of citizens taking control of politics.

The point is, by a large group of people picking their most important issue, and pledging to be single-issue publicly, it puts REAL and VISIBLE pressure on those politicians to represent them on those issues.

Once the issue is fixed, people can move on to the next-most important issue they would like to be represented on.
There is sometimes a name for that too: a racial housing covenant.

When the California legislature passed a law outlawing them in 1963, the initiative process was used the next year to pass Prop. 14, which specifically allowed racial covenants in transferring housing. It passed with 67% of voters approving it.

I believe the discussion is around wage stagnation after correcting for inflation.
What? You seem to be implying that people are forced to move to cities because it's cheaper?

I think you'll find that a lot of people have decided they would rather live in cities rather than the suburbs.
To put it quite frankly, your position is entirely wrong, and you are doubling down on an even weirder position. I also have never even heard of someone just pursuing math "to get acceptance as a nerd".

Being good at math gives you no status in life. People are proudly anti-intellectual when it comes to math, so the most you'll get if you're quite good at at math is "oh wow, that's cool. next topic". People who really like math, simply like math, despite it not winning them any social favors for the most part.

Mathematics is quite interesting and beautiful in its own way, so for you to say it's mostly "out of wanting to escape their low status" is both rude and uninformed.

Also, it's true that quitting doesn't do you any favors, but people quit things all the time. Especially math. Or new years resolutions. It's definitely not a tenable argument as to why people would stick with math.
While I agree in principle, it’s not uncommon to add sugar to homemade tomato sauce to balance the acidity[1,2]. Also, for making sauce, good canned tomatoes (which are canned ripe) are plenty tasty.

If you think you have identified some sort of astroturfing effort, the best solution is to contact the moderators using the link at the bottom of the page.

HN mods do regularly act against users who post solely in support or opposition to a single company (or for example, always promote one company and simultaneously attack it's competitors), or people who use HN to "wage ideological battle" by arguing for one position to the detriment of any other discussion on the matter.

There's not a lot of discussion in the community on it because HN would much rather not be bogged down by people complaining about other users, and would rather deal with it privately.
An Introduction to Go (CERN) - Why and how to write good Go code
The thing is, though, that while immigrants increase the supply of labor they're also consumers who increase the demand for labor. That's why you don't tend to see wages go down after exogenous immigration shocks like the Cuban boat lift in Miami. Well, non-English-speaking immigrants do actually tend to depress the wages of resident non-English-speakers somewhat but not the wages of English-speakers.
Great job! Took 2 minutes to install and run.
Another alternative would be coming up with some organometallic that replicates the properties of TEL, the transition metal(s) of which are something that's not lead. Or mercury, uranium, cadmium, and a few others that are really easy to avoid. Materials chemistry has gotten lots better over the past hundred years, the meaningful development costs are only in validation testing. The FAA "should" be able to cover that cost instead of individual pilots converting their engines.
It's not just the fossil fuel industry -- it's every industry that buys energy, and consumers that buy it -- it's politicized because the prosperity and growth of the economy as a whole is at stake.
It's amazing how many foods in their highest quality state are just two or three ingredients plus time.

Balsamic vinegar - Grapes, stored in wooden casks, allowed to age for 12-15 years, gradually moving the fluid to smaller and smaller barrels as the fluid evaporates and concentrates, until the final product fits into a small bottle.

Parmeggiano Reggiano - Unpasteurized cow's milk, with a little bit of lactic acid and rennet, packed, brined, and allowed to age for at least 12 months.

Whiskey - Distilled grain, stored in a charred oak cask and allowed to age for however many years.

Whenever we try to cheat the time factor, we inevitably introduce substitutes, additives, or agitators that result in a worse product at the trade-off of being faster to produce and more widely available.
The thing with a cassette, aside from its physical tangibility, is that it's time-boxed, with no track skipping. Vinyl has the same appeal. The point of it is that you have a physical document of a recording with a clear beginning and end, with the expectation that you listen to it from start to finish. OK, cassettes will pick up where you left off, but you get the idea.

It may sound obvious, but in a world with infinitely scrolling feeds and bottomless Spotify/YT playlists, it's practically novel.

It doesn’t matter how “hard” you work, but the value of the work - and value is 100% determined by how much people will pay for your output, and that price is determined by the scarcity of your product.

A guy that digs gold out of the ground is going be able to sell that gold at a higher price than a guy digging worms; while working at exactly the same “hardness.” There are those that would suggest that both should be paid the same, which is ridiculous as that suggests a pound of worms is as valuable as a pound of gold.

> Not doing so is implying that I am okay with website owners adding whatever ads and tracking they like, terms unseen.

This is precisely my objection. The narrative that blocking ads and trackers breaks an agreement with site owners makes no sense to me when I can't see the terms of that "agreement" until after I've landed on the site. Shrinkwrap contracts didn't become a reasonable practice when they turned into browsewrap, and indeed courts consistently hold that those contracts are valid only after presenting proper notice of terms to the user. Visiting a webpage is certainly not assent to allow third-party tracking or code execution.

If the site host wants to object to my continued use while blocking ads and trackers, fine. They're welcome to do so; sometimes I reduce my blocking and sometimes I leave the site, depending on the nature of the tracking and the value of the site. That's an agreement, blindly accepting whatever someone cares to serve is not.
Currently, files starting with _ (underscore) are hidden in zero. This is still a feature spec we need to finalize as this can create confusion. Maybe a .zeroignore file (as suggested in another comment) would be a better idea.
And that's the core of the problem. Wages used to go up with productivity, but not anymore. Plenty of money is being made, it just doesn't end up in the wages of regular employees.

A couple of years I came across a claim that compared to 50 years ago, the ratio between a CEO's salary than that of a regular employee of the same company, has shot up by one or two orders of magnitude. CEOs make way more than they used to, regular employees don't.
Anecdotally I see the cops talking to white youth in "gangbanger" dress quite often. I'm not sure the lesson is anything other than "if you don't want to be treated like a criminal, don't dress like a stereotypical example."

Great comment. Here's a good page from CodeX: The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics[1].

> "One technical problem with Computational Law, familiar to many individual with legal training, is due to the open texture of laws. Consider a municipal regulation stating "No vehicles in the park". On first blush this is fine, but it is really quite problematic. Just what constitutes a vehicle? Is a bicycle a vehicle? What about a skateboard? How about roller skates? What about a baby stroller? A horse? A repair vehicle? For that matter, what is the park? At what altitude does it end? If a helicopter hovers at 10 feet, is that a violation? What if it flies over at 100 feet?

> The resolution of this problem is to limit the application of Computational Law to those cases where such issues can be externalized or marginalized. We allow human users to make judgments about such open texture concepts in entering data or we avoid regulatory applications where such concepts abound.

> A different sort of challenge to Computational Law stems from the fact that not all legal reasoning is deductive. Edwina Rissland [Rissland et al.] notes that, "Law is not a matter of simply applying rules to facts via modus ponens"; and, when regarding the broad application of AI techniques to law, this is certainly true. The rules that apply to a real-world situation, as well as even the facts themselves, may be open to interpretation, and many legal decisions are made through case-based reasoning, bypassing explicit reasoning about laws and statutes. The general problem of open texture when interpreting rules, along with the parallel problem of running out of rules to apply when resolving terms, presents significant obstacles to implementable automated rule-based reasoning."
