Well. I can only say that now and then I read about new, super clever solutions to js problems ranging from async code to packaging or react. Most of the time that's the first time it occurs to me that X could be a problem, as I'm just happily banging out clojurescript.

Cljs seems to dodge a mountain of stupidity. Even react makes more sense in cljs than js.

Sorry to be the annoying guy pointlessly arguing semantics, but how can it be a "superhighway" when there are lights blocking traffic? Projects like that would be just as much of an improvement without the deceptive branding. To me, it's a sign of disrespect: give them what they want, but mock them with exaggerated naming.

Just last month, Airbnb reneged on its offer to cover the cost of my alternative accommodations when they let me a place without running water. Then they had to audacity to charge me for the first night; "it's policy," they said. Spent perhaps 5 hours chasing down their agents who use pseudonyms, don't have phone numbers, and have no stake in the matter. Now they deal with American Express.

I definitely agree with your point, but I think there's a small distinction to be made that I see. In my experience, Kirkland Signature products have generally been rebrands or slightly modified versions of quality products by trustworthy brands that cost more in their OEM packaging. This is perhaps true with many Amazon Basics items, but it doesn't seem as consistent as it does with Kirkland Signature's lineup. I would feel comfortable buying a KS product and assuming it is of good quality, even without Costco's notably flexible return and refund policy as a backup.

It's maybe not a "good" thought, but it brings to mind the idea of using this technique for a proprietary format (webp with a header change, say) to make images only work on your own website.

Typical users wouldn't be able to view downloaded images; they could only see them through your site.

I'm not sure on the details of web assembly, but if you can obturate the workings then this technique becomes stronger, can web assembly be delivered compiled?

Considering all of the major platforms ban ISIS groups from recruiting, sharing information etc, I would say yes. What exactly makes this manifesto any different? Do you believe those groups have an innate right to recruit?

We can differentiate between how religions and the groups within behave in practice, which is why we can ban some terrorist groups using religion while not banning all religious groups.

The basis of white supremacy consists of violence and terror. Yet for some reason we consider propaganda spread by them to be covered under free speech.

Your approach to defining an endgame is interesting, but I think more thought has to be put into the deconstruction of the goals, and looking at the cost of policies long term.

IMHO,

A) Too much credit is given to the leadership when it comes to economic decisions. For instance, the plan to build Autobahns comes out of the drawer of the monarchy oriented authorities of Prussia, and was adapted to the economic situation by the NSDAP after they took power.

B) The goals for territorial gains (not "some", but substantial) and extermination and enslavement of Jewish and Slavic populace were rooted in an inhuman ideology. Of course, the restoration of Germany's power was their goal - but the communists, monarchists etc wanted the same, just in another manner.

-

Looking at the results, the NSDAP leadership, it's party followers, and the majority population that went along took a leading tier-1 state by scientific advances, technologic level and infrastructure, and by industrial potential, with a more or less intact culture from the historic perspective, and transformed it into a pile of rubble, and Europe along it. I think that is not really good long term leadership, but the result of a mass phenomenon that had roots in imperialism, obedience of authority, revanchism of prior wars, racism, change from an agricultural to an industrial society, poverty and misery.

I always wonder how an EU might have looked like at the time, and how much more prosperity it might have brought (partly at the cost of it's exploited colonies) - but then again, this is not a historic question.
This is a very incorrect assumption. Everybody wants to be able to use native language for program output and input, view and edit texts in native language using less, sed, vim.
You may be pro-choice, but you would probably oppose the right of mothers to end the lives of their children (and descendents of those children) after pregnancy. So I don't see what is strange about the argument; you are allowed to terminate a pregnancy, but you do not necessarily have the right to inflict arbitrary other life changing modifications on your children. Like, no doctor would agree to amputate the legs of an unborn child without medical necessity (when asked by the mother), and I think 'my body, my choice' does not apply there.

I will admit there is a bit of a grey zone; few (if any?) places outright prohibit pregnant women from smoking and drinking, despite the possible negative consequences, but such behavior is still generally frowned upon.

It's true that it doesn't so much sense in digital. Two reasons exist - mobile devices and aesthetics. Many people regard text set to justified as something luxurious or "high".

The problem is that justified text is hard - it needs human intervention and proper settings and composer engine. Basically you can properly do it only in LaTeX with some plugins and indesign.

The way it is handled in browsers must be computationally efficient so browsers do it in half assed way.

Specifically, stop buying really shitty LEDs and get Cree 2700ks.

Out of every LED I tested when I finally abandoned incandescent (manufacturers started shipping intentionally short-lived bulbs that would die in less than a year, when they used to last many many years before), Cree was the only brand that didn't feel like I was stabbing myself in the eyes, and also didn't have any weird hues or casts or anything (especially not the goddamned green-cast problem that so many LEDs suffered from).

GE and Phillips are distant seconds, and I don't even know why Sylvania even exists.

The only way to beat a Cree bulb is to start looking into specialty LEDs meant for photography usage (>95 CRI, >95 in R9 and R13, etc).

IIRC this has already happened with Tay-Sachs, although not by editing, just by testing (either before marriage, or of embryos). I think the disease is now more common among non-Ashkenazim, who are unlikely to be tested.

Seems like a useful test case to think about, and read about, rather than relying only on imagination.
Banning all schools will affect all children now because we have reached a point where schools are common. 200 years ago they were not, and if we decided to not allow any schools until we could provide schools for everyone, we still would not have any schools.

I agree so much. I always have to create my own colour scheme for this reason. I want almost everything to be white on black, or black on white, and then I have like three exceptions to that:

- source code comments are a slightly more dim gray and literal strings are a slightly more dim green, because they're characters that can look like code, but generally have no semantic meaning to the program;
- structural keywords are an orangeish-brown to highlight the syntactical structure of the code; and
- types belong to a different world than the syntax tree, so they are a contrasting blue.

That's it. I don't want any more than that.

Why not have a section for (if you do use the feature) justifying why you need draw on top. Then have someone go over the source code to verify that the information volunteered matches up with what is going on behind the scenes. Or just decrypt APK and search for usages of the library?

Also, why is such an intrusive feature enabled by default?! I want proper prompts explaining why they want it, and to be able to decide if I want to give them those permissions.

> As China starts outdoing us economically, technically and strategically, we are turning Chinese, slowly losing the spiritual, cultural and political texture that made us different.

This is so absurd it's not even funny. Not because of correlations b/w this and sentiments about "China's rise", but because what you define as "Chinese" is nowhere nearly as rooted as the zeitgeist of Western culture.

China had Xinhai and Mao. Japan had Meiji and its successors. India had the British empire and its current vestige. I wonder if Asians ever wonder how Asia is but fading into a dim memory in the overwhelming march of the Borg.
> Practically promising collusion is another thing entirely.

The second (which is also a conviction by way of a guilty plea) and the final indictments made public were for collusion. Or, rather, for lying about collusion, but the collusion itself is part of the factual background of the indictments and a central and necessary one in each case.

If there is a media failure, it's in continuously reporting the Presidents claim that no collusion was indicated and either letting it stand or endorsing it when that is factually incorrect.

250-300GB.

Not large by absolute standards sure, but large enough to cause issues.

I’m sure there’s some kind of solution that involves re-architecting the ES cluster and indices and re-architecting the data flows and stuff. But if our options are go through all that, or seriously slim down our architecture and costs by just running Sonic + our data warehouse, I’m definitely going to give it a go. After all, worst comes to worst we can go down the re-architecting ES route if Sonic doesn’t work out.

That's the key point. Of course there are many precedents, all over the world, and especially in all Western countries other than the US: the public and private healthcare systems happily coexist. But in the US there is so much money to be made on all components of the current complex system it's simply impossible the people involved give up without fight and agree to make it sane like everywhere else in the civilized world.

A recent article posted on HN offering funding to women to study programming sparked a flamewar, with many users claiming that special hiring policies for women in the tech industry discriminate against men.

The current article is about a special hiring policy for autistic persons in Dell. Luckily there doesn't seem to be a flamewar this time around.

Of course, I wonder why. To be honest, I don't understand why so many users were upset about the former article but not this one. It just seems dissonant to me.

I'm quite confident that the present comment will not start a new flamewar, btw.
> Many people convicted/plead guilty to process crimes, for example, lying to the FBI.

Yes, but that was lying in denying collusion in both the case of Pappadopolous (as a Trump campaign official and with support of higher ups, with Russia) and Stone (as a go-between for the Trump campaign, with WikiLeaks—described by the Trump campaign as a “hostile non-state intelligence service”—where WikiLeaks was, based on information in other indictments, either cooperating with or duped by a Russian intelligence operation.)
And it sounds like they only want to detect it early to prevent it and don't even look for a root cause to tackle...
It is not that you get smarter, you don't get more stupid. I think it has something to do with extraordinary energy demand of the brain. 50 year olds can restore their cognitive ability to the level of 30 year olds through physical exercise. As Jordan Peterson puts it in one of his interviews: "Your brain is a very demanding organ, and if your cardio-vascular system is compromised then you get stupid... Brain is very metabolically demanding and if you are not in good physical shape then one of the things that suffers most greatly is your cognitive function".

I don’t think it’s anything to lose sleep over. Just assume someone with ASD can apologize, the same as anyone else who says something stupid. And that they feel bad when embarrassing things slip out.

I’ve worked with a lot of people with ASD over the years, it’s never caused any serious problems. You have worked with them too; once you know what to look for you see them all over tech.

Throughout the article they did mention improved working memory, focus, and a host of other benefits. Maybe IQ isn’t the best measure of these benefits.
I don't think that's the assumption. The point I was making is that that even for non-neurodiverse people it's exceptionally difficult to communicate in a way that never leads to someone taking offense or being made feel uncomfortable when working with people from different backgrounds, cultures and experiences, all under high stakes conditions.

We all constantly put feet in our mouths despite our best intentions (see the whole concept of micro aggressions) and being able to navigate subtle social situations when that inevitably happens is difficult for everybody. Much more so for someone who is worse at reading nonverbal cues and struggling with anticipating "how will this make them feel?"

There is plenty of room for offense and misinterpretation between the most benign accidental faux pas and giant asshole moves, and that's where I suspect most of the rope to hang yourself with lies.

There's a quote from He Who Shall Not Be Named here that is an interesting datapoint from a recent event, echoing my point: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/17/11/19/043243 . I suspect he wasn't a giant asshole, but maybe others would argue otherwise.

In reality I don't expect neurodiverse individuals to end up as cases on HR's desks: I would be shocked to see harassment anywhere near the top of the list of situations that might arise from this push for inclusion. Awkward situations in intra-team interpersonal dynamics? Sure. But real harassment, not likely.
Correct, excercise really makes me feel better and motivated.
The core principles of software design
Here's a different take, on a different sort of diversity:

Suppose it turns out that extremely high-achievers are gambles on the part of nature, which have some chance of going wrong. For example, suppose that every birth of a potential future Nobelist comes with a 10% chance of serious disabling autism. (I stress, I'm not claiming that this is true, just setting up a thought experiment.) Many parents would decline this gamble: 10% is quite a high chance of devoting the rest of your life to care, for a tiny chance of having a world-class star in the family, who will anyway have very little personal gain from his contributions. But if the whole society decides never to gamble, we will (in my scenario!) miss out on major advances.
Interesting tidbit: Schacht was also one of the founding members of the BIS (Bank for International Settlement) in Switzerland along with Warburg, J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller representatives which are coordinating the monetary policies of all major central banks to this day since 1930.

Some people say the restoration of the German economy 1933-39 was only possible because it was arranged by those major central banks. The actual economic policies are rather secondary to that.
The chart presented in the article [0] should be put in context of the previous years. The inflation values look very nice when you compare them to what was going on before 1923 [1].
