Each individual should have the choice to live in the society they want, that is equally true the other way around -- I don't see a connection to a concoted West-vs-East / colonial argument. You are trying to create an point fo conflict where there is none.

If my country would enforce this (It doesn't) I should have the equal opportunity to renounce my german citizenship in favour of the iranian citizenship...

This also happens in the West as well.

And last but not least, this my opinion, I am not forcing this onto anyone -- and if I am of the opinion that this concept of "citizenship as hostage" is BS, I can make that opinion public. This touches the sovereignty of those states in no way, except when this sovereignty is enforced on people that are not part of the society of that country, and have lived 95% of their lives in another country.

That is largely your left bias showing, where you completely discount the positions of everyone not on the left when it comes to things like Border Security, and Economic Trade imbalances, left positions that have largly be the cause of the right extremist rising in base few years because the left dismisses them and calls anyone that has a non-left position on the topic "racist" leaving people that do support limited immigration or limited economic protectionism to become more radicalized

Also the fact you call Trump a "nationalist" feeds into my belief you are a far left authoritarian, Trump is alot of things, but for the most part is a Traditional Republican, his policy positions are not that much different than the historic positions of the Republican Party, Actually he is fairly moderate sharing many of the same positions of the Bill Clinton Era Democrats (including immigration policy.

The Simply fact is the Democrat party has moved VERY VERY left... The Republicans have no shifted that much.

You completely ignore and excuse the violence of AntiFa and then go back to the 90's to pull up extreme Right Violence. These are attempts to construct a Strawman to support your narrative that the Right is more violent and a bigger threat than the left therefore the upcoming censorship of the right is some how justified
Europe is very diverse. As a university professor in Spain, I can say your parent comment is an accurate description of Spanish Master's degrees.

In fact, the Spanish system used to be based on 5-year and even 6-year degrees. In the last university reform (triggered by the Bologna process), most universities just split their existing degrees into a 4-year Bachelor's and a 1 or 2-year Master's and called it a day. So the Master's is seen just as a natural continuation of the Bachelor's and those who go to the job market with a Bachelor's as impatient people who are working with an incomplete degree.

Now universities are also offering new Master's which aren't based on the traditional degrees, and those sometimes feel more "graduate", but they're not the majority at the moment.
Angular and React is not what competes with jQuery. Its VueJS. Why? Because unlike React and Angular, you can use Vue in small dosages, ala jQuery. You dont need to write the entire HTML part as JS or JSX. Just insert Vue in parts you want to make "dynamic".

My current setup is to use Vue for interactivity and frontend axios for ajax. Works pretty well. No compiling/transpiling needed.
Sorry but your comment reveals more about the filter bubble you (or maybe we all actually) are in than reality.

While I haven't used Suse for a while in personal projects, Suse is basically the only alternative to Red Hat enterprises have for running Linux with support for 10 years or more from a company deeply involved in kernel development. A pen testing study recently (can't find the link atm) reported that only RHEL and SLES had properly setup ASLR, selinux/AppArmor and other security features.

When Red Hat is fully absorbed into IBM, there might be many customers not willing to make deals with IBM, so I'm guessing the investor sees serious growth for Suse's enterprise support business.

Now if only they shipped a distro without systemd and more POSIXly ...

Ask HN: Tinder like swiping model for rating startup ideas?
At Hackathon / 48h Startup building event type of thing...

We only have 3 hrs left, so any input is appreciated :-s

So we're building an app - and the problem it's trying to solve is getting fast and effective feedback on your startup / startup idea.

The app shows you a bunch of startups represented through a single image for 10 seconds, Tinder-style on which you can swipe left/right based on wether you think it's a good idea or not?

This would perform as a 'filtering' system for the app, the filtered out 'good startup ideas' would be further discussed in a Reddit-style type of forum (kharma / gold / etc.)

The end goal is to get effective feedback to people who need it, and to connect like minded smart people who like to discuss and share ideas in a constructive manner.
Only for the new models.
This is fantastic. I love that it is a progressive web app. It would be nice to have a feature to populate the cache in one tap, so I can take it with me in the underground without having to play each song first.

Most people come under group insurance for an employer. Insurance companies have never been able to exclude for preexisting conditions if you were part of the eligible group.

Also the plan offered through the exchange comes under a different pool with different cost. Insurance companies decide how to price group insurance for a company based on the demographics of a company.

Subsidizing health care for the poor would theoretically raise taxes not the amount you pay for your insurance.

Universal healthcare costing less per capita with a sane plan is not voodoo economics - we already pay more per person than every other industrial nation. There was nothing sane about keeping private insurance in the mix instead of just having a public option.

And seeing that retirees in the 90s and today come under Medicare, what does that have to do with private premiums?

There's no bigger software ecosystem than a laptop running Windows that can be converted into a laptop running a Linux distro.

This is a well-known situation for international adoptions.

An image as in a dd of another file system? That's a pretty serious bug - I'm wondering how it'd even find that, if it's searching its b-tree. This sounds like it's going past file system / meta data and looking at file content.

I can't imagine why a fsck tool would dive into payload like that - do you have some more information about this bug, as I can't find reference to it. Most of my residual reiserfs boxes are VM's themselves, so I'm unlikely to hit it, but some mitigation would be comforting.
I can't find the words to describe how that version made me feel. Like always on the edge of taking a breath? The tempo change is weirdly affecting. I certainly like it less, but it is very very clever.

I agree that processing photo-material in Lab has definite advantages, it's perfect for perceptually mutating colours. It's definitely a superior colour model. I get stuck trying to use it to build the initial palette though, and I'd have similar trouble sticking to RGB or CMYK.

I'd say that despite perceptual differences caused by HSL/HSV transformations, I'm able to intuit a colour based on it's Hue and Saturation (accounting for the mistakes), by referring to the colour wheel in my mind. Whereas in Lab I can only anticipate the effect of Lightness, the effects of a and b components are too non-linear for me to grasp.

Luckily there is support for Lab in chroma.js, which is very useful for making perceptually sound mutations when generating UI palettes. I used it once for ~equidistant traversal: http://some1else.github.io/life/

Edit: I'd like clarify that traversing all these colour spaces in decent UIs is quite manageable. I was referring to how fast I can guesstimate a colour from reading the actual values. For example, let's take the YC colour and write it down. Compared to the rest, HSB immediately screams "bright orange" at me:

Hex: #fc6621
RGB: 252, 102, 33
CMYK: 0%, 75%, 96%, 0%
Lab: 63, 56, 65
HSB: 19°, 87%, 99%

This has only happened a couple times. I hardly function on less than 5 hours of sleep, and not very well on less than 6-7. So in this case I would get up at 5 to maintain the habit, do some reading for an hour, then go back to sleep for a couple hours. As I said, there are tradeoffs. I'm pretty much fried by 9-10PM, which is having an impact on my social life.

The idea is to minimize heat loss from conductivity through the windows, but accept the heat loss that comes with venting air.

Old single-pane windows were missing the vent probably because a) old building codes let you have less ventilation or b) the old windows were leaking air around the frames in addition to conductively leaking heat through the single-pane glass.

Also, if you work at a larger company and have a Siemens/Unify IP phone on your desk, it's not unlikely that it's connected to OpenScape Voice running on SUSE. (Even if it's not an IP phone, it might be connected to a smaller sub-PBX which itself talks to an OpenScape Voice server.
I second that, the CMOG channel is great. They have high production quality (especially consider the constraints of the glass shop) and really talented artists / craftspeople.

Bill Gudenrath's series on Venetian glassware is particularly fun because he's such a craftsman but also a fascinating teacher.
As I said, it's taking a long time to adjust. I've previously consistently gotten up at 630AM every day, and it never felt as natural as waking up at 830-900. I still think those are the hours my body most wants to sleep, but it's not so hardwired that I can't choose a different schedule.

Well, there’s your problem.

If you are unemployed, there is hardly any reason to stay in a big city.
In startups, a set of individuals efforts is 100% wasted with extreme regularity. They are also a path finding strategy through a forest where most paths are dead-ends, but you get paid very well until you hit that dead-end and move to the next path.
Indeed, SAP wants you to run their products primarily on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, with RHEL being an "also ran" (despite enjoying full support from SAP).

This despite SLES' controversial and never-working-quite-right "vm.pagecache_limit_mb" kernel parameter (which they're finally ditching in SLES15, I hear).

Don't get me wrong, SLES these days is a mature, high-quality distro (I'm working with hundreds of installations running SAP products), but sometimes they do weird things, like bumping kernel version from 2.6 to 3.0 within one service pack (sometimes back in SLES10 or SLES11 days, iirc).

openSUSE is a really good and modern linux distro, people complaining about here probably haven't used it in a long while.
Whilst i worked in A&T we handled a few thousand+ servers running SLES 11 SP2 and it was solid.

I think they're biggest handicap is they're not from the US and while i worked there people acknowledge they have horrible marketing. Also being bought and sold a few times doesn't help, and with the HPE acquisition a few years back, a lot of employees (on HPE side) simply left.

The kubic project has developed the only viable alternative to CoreOS that's being phased out. Unfortunately where MicroOS falls short is SUSE's stubbornness for using BtrFS, which causes a lot of headaches and has been dropped from all major distros at this point.
People in the kubic project have also been contributors to kubernetes, kubeadm, OCI, (they even contributed a lot of code to podman, from Red Hat) and they've been a significant driving force for rootless containers https://rootlesscontaine.rs/.
It's weird they're not more often in the limelight with all the hard work they do, but maybe they'll take this opportunity to fix their marketing and steer into a better direction :).
I think there is a serious problem of people coming out of academia and transferring the workplace into the only type of environment they know and described above. Obediendce to the credentials and high tollerance to bullshit, supervisors forcing others to make the supervisors’ mistakes.
