I think you're putting too much weight into Picketty's fairly contentious conclusions.

(for some starters, if you somehow have not seen how it is not the Bible that some people want it to be?).

Also it is hard to compare Europe's norms which country-by-country are generally featuring a lot more ethnic-cohesion and have social spending heavily subsidized by America's military (not to mention much more density for things like trains)

I say this as someone who wishes there were more dense, EU-style cities in America.

Mobility is certainly not dead in America, and the middle class is shrinking because more people are moving up and making more money overall: http://www.aei.org/publication/yes-the-us-middle-class-is-sh...

I think anyone trying to say "you don't know how shitty you have it!" is akin to saying "you vote against your own interests" which is really saying "I think I know better than you" -- which is trash.

The fact of the matter is a lot of people prefer US-style suburban living.

America certainly has its share or problems, reliable/trustable Governance being a big one (social welfare spending in the US, despite the money thrown at the problem, is just not up to the standards of northern EU although certainly preferable to what goes on in southern EU -- see cohesion argument though culture matters a lot too)

See this as an example why both the left and right suck when it comes to US healthcare: https://www.econlib.org/the-case-for-european-health-care/

In fact, I would argue much of the problem in the US arises because our politicians are simply full of bad ideas and not held accountable to them. Fortunately our institutions restrict them from running amok too much.

ex: the US subways suck because city politicians allowed construction and transit unions to run roughshod over the taxpayers for years on top of increasingly stupid regulations (lol @ US being the reliable land of laissez-faire) and that is why it costs 7x more to deploy subway in the US than most first world nations https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-...

Still, I am willing to bet a chunk of cash that the US generally has the better recipe for ensuring economic dynamism and mobility. I'll take the hopeful over the complacent, given the choice.
China’s one child policy is about to create a huge societal drain as the old population grows relative to the young. It also created over 10 million unregistered and discriminated against people. Plus a huge gender imbalance for young people.

It was very much a short term solution with long term consequences that the country likely isn’t prepared to handle.
> So we are left with 'establishment' mediocrity instead of the most popular result.

In this case, Left is the most democratic winner of the race, also known as the Condorcet winner (assuming Right supporters would support Left over Far Left in a two-person race between them). However, not all elections have a Condorcet winner. Also however, approval voting doesn't guarantee the Condorcet winner wins the race (if one exists), but it's an improvement over FPTP.

> I have some pain on top of my ankles

I had this very issue and changing my shoes resolved it. I had transitioned from off-road running over hilly trails, to very aggressive ascents followed by steep an often technical descents. The Brooks Cascadias that were awesome for the hilly trails weren't working for the steep techy stuff. Moving into Saucony Peregrino Isos that have a stiffer upper and much burlier tread solved the issue almost immediately.

No idea what kind of mileage you're covering or terrain you're running, but footwear can be a real maker/breaker as the mileage gets longer and the terrain gets gnarlier.
Note that some games on Steam are DRM free, you can download the game via Steam and then make a zip with the files for your own safekeeping.

Sadly it isn't obvious (nor mentioned anywhere, except some very incomplete lists in various wikis) which games are DRM free and which are not and the only way to figure out is to buy the game and try to run it outside of Steam (with Steam itself not running and its folder temporarily renamed to something else). In general if a game doesn't have steam_api.dll, it should be DRM-free but if it does then it is a crapshoot if the Steam integration is necessary or the game can function without it (e.g. Dementium II HD, a game i just tried yesterday, does have the DLL but it can work without it). Also some functionality that in theory could be available without Steam (such as multiplayer) will not work.
Network above your pay-grade, these people are more interesting. Colleagues are useless.
That's because it's a technical article about monad implementation, building on previous technical discussion. The author could spend time explaining what monads are, but that's a notoriously tricky thing to teach, and if you don't understand them fully, the article as a whole won't be worth anything to you anyways.
> Were we thinking of ourselves most of the time? Or were we thinking of what we could do for others, of what we could pack into the stream of life?

That final question he's quoting is from the alcoholics anonymous literature. I wonder if he knows that?

Another good one:

> Selfishness - self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles. Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows...
from the article:

> While monitoring alerts related to kernel-mode attacks, one alert drew our attention:

>The alert process tree showed an abnormal memory allocation and execution in the context of services.exe by a kernel code. Investigating further, we found that an identical alert was fired on another machine around the same time.

This shows code injection taking place, via the exploited code. You are right that they don't mention what code was injected (probably they don't know)
Teslas are superior, not inferior. It's simple physics, BEV means higher acceleration, lower center of gravity, better cabin volume, quieter, and most importantly: you don't contribute nearly as much to destroying the climate or causing asthma and emphysema in children. How do you counter these basic BEV advantages? Are you in favor of releasing emissions for thousands of years?
And the industry pretty much modified agile in a way that gets the most work out of people, regardless of fit. So yeah, sometimes we do need something that's written as a "manifesto" to remind people what agile actually was supposed to be.
It simply isn't true for many anywhere; there are desperate, unhappy people everywhere.

Trying to argue whose is better (or worse) isn't helpful.
If you are committing subsets of your work, how can you guarantee than each commit is a working version of the code? Some committed code being dependent on uncommitted code. Or am I missing something?
> UBI... did not make people less efficient at seeking employment.

No, it didn't make them significantly lazier short term.
It's sure nice to think so, and I thank you for stating this viewpoint so clearly. I think a lot about the line between rich and poor, launch and crash. I've come to think that line is largely in our own heads but also entirely out of our control.

Someone born poor will be born into an other reality of poverty. Every person they love will have no money, education or resume and will have crashed against unmoving walls while trying. Every mentor will teach them that the world takes and never gives. Every day will be tinged with hopelessness. Everyone will tell them they don't have what they ought to have and that there's no way someone like them can get it. This person could be as smart and filled with potential as the best of us and they will never escape this invisible cage of other people expectations.

Someone born rich with be born into an other reality of abundance. Every person they love will have a comfortable amount of money, educational achievement, and professional accomplishment and will have leapt over the obstacles in their life. Every mentor will teach them that if they ask, the world will give. Every day will glow with possibilities. Everyone will tell them about their success and make plans together for how to get even more. This person could be dumb as rocks and lazy but they too live in an invisible bubble of other people's expectations. The wisest of the people in this bubble of prosperity know exactly how fragile it is and work tirelessly to shape their families and communities so that their bubble never pops.

Probably a stupid question, but are the version #'s mentioned here ( "From version 2.4.17 (Oct 9, 2015) to version 2.4.38 (Apr 1, 2019), Apache HTTP suffers from a local root privilege escalation vulnerability due to an out-of-bounds array access leading to an arbitrary function call." ) the only ones affected, or is it possible earlier versions are affected as well?

Also, I just want to throw out there that the name of this one is great:

"Why the name ?
CARPE: stands for CVE-2019-0211 Apache Root Privilege Escalation
DIEM: the exploit triggers once a day

I had to."
Soccer is a totally different game than running - it's basically a game of "how to best apply extreme forces to your lower body in unstable positions". You're twisting and turning and applying force in ways the body wasn't meant to handle in any sort of repeated manner. I can definitely see how running would help - it'll help build up the muscles and surrounding tissue, but really, when it comes to longevity of the joints, soccer is just bad news.
The definitions are identical. You could define one in terms of the other by just reversing the arguments.

> Why does this matter? If you want dick swinging, I'll probably beat you anyday. I'm a DMC finalist and toured with a few big rap groups and on my own for more than half of my life. All this is irrelevant. We're talking about skills vs faking the funk here.

It's relevant because it's a conversation about techno and I'm explaining I have direct insight into DJing techno.

DMC is an entirely difference scene where "turntablism" is more of a thing so I can see why you might argue the case for learning to beat mix but those arguments don't apply to techno.

> It is a part of djing and it is a creative part of the process. Maybe you didn't get creative with it and that's perfectly fine.

You cannot get creative with beat matching. The process of beat matching is literally just quantising two tracks together. Everything else beyond that is "mixing" - which is where the creative process happens. But that is not "beat matching".

The distinction I'm making is vital because you can do creative beat mixing without having to do any beat matching.

> Maybe you didn't get creative with it and that's perfectly fine.

I do and please don't make personal assumptions about me.

> So if you're going for face value then yes, I can go up on stage with my laptop, play an mp3, dance to the music in front of thousands, and entertain people all day. This is entertainment but this isn't djing. I'm talking about raw skill. Sounds like you prefer someone to lip sync than actual sing on stage. Same thing.

All DJing is just playing other peoples records. You're not up there with a guitar ffs. So it doesn't matter if it's an vinyl or an MP3 - that's just a technical detail. What actually matters is how you mix those records, not beat match them.

> They will if you're good at your craft.

You do realise you just argued that "The audience will physically touch your vinyl if you're a good DJ" - a statement which suggests you throw sharp plastic objects into the crowd. Clearly you wouldn't do this - which means you should probably go back and re-read what I'd written ;)
The difference being people are expendable in the army.

TL;DR: Anarchy is the system you're describing (total voluntary interaction with government, or no government) and there's plenty of anarchists around, and literally 0 successful anarchist states.

Let me approach your anarchy differently:

Why do we not have anarchy? Because not-anarchy is working and is the best system we've ever used.

Why don't we get rid of this to try anarchy? Well -- who's stopping you from creating your own Amish/Scientology/SoverignCitizen whatever lifestyle? Who's forcing you to live where you do? Is the tax man showing up at your door with guns drawn?

I think your contribution to our society is far more voluntary than you want to admit.

There are plenty of Americans who live 100-1000 miles away from a real government and largely never interact with it. Preppers in Alaska or in the wide expanses of the West.

Something tells me you choose not to live like they do, free from government regulation, not meaningfully paying taxes, etc, because you like the society and civilization that is built through Liberty (freedom with common sense restrictions) as opposed to Anarchy (freedom without restriction, period).

P.S. if you call taxation robbery but use public infrastructure, you're a completely entitled hypocrite who deserves no respect for your "I can take for free but how dare I have to pay" hottake. The only people who can criticize taxation are those who homestead far, far, far away from government and society, because they truly do not use any infrastructure or benefit, but, they largely do not pay taxation (and no government agency is going to Waco style attack to force them to, either).

I agree with him 100%. I also feel like this cancer has spread beyond social media. The internet as a whole feels rotten.

I grew up with the internet, so it felt natural to adopt things like social media (early days of FB), cloud storage, YouTube, etc etc. They just seemed to work their way into my life, aided by the adoption of smartphones (essentially a pocket computer).

Today, I've become a Free Software and Privacy advocate. I use libreboot+Debian, have a dumbphone, no social media, and aggressively restrict usage of services like Google et al.

But I feel this isn't going far enough. The real toxic element is the 90% of the internet which is not designed to bring any positivity or enrichment to my life. I recently made the decision to make my main workstation air-gap/offline and it was the best decision ever. My laptop will be my internet connected machine and I'll probably set-up some sort of whitelist on it. I also find it easier to physically isolate a laptop (e.g. put it in a drawer) outside of work hours and thereby regulate outside intrusion into my personal life.

I'm also very sympathetic to the concerns about not triggering the mass bovine herd of professional offense-takers. I work as a Doctor so it's a constant effort to police my opinions and actions on a daily basis. The internet used to be a refuge where I could do daft things like engage in a flame war on a random forum about a random obscure hobby. Today, the risk of inadvertently triggering someone and having it cross into my real life removes any incentive to participate. Even HN feels like that. I've lost count of the number of replies I've typed out, only to delete without posting. I just think there's no point. It's not fun anymore.

I'll probably give up HN soon. It's the last of anything resembling social media that I use. I strongly dislike the inability to completely delete an account and past posts. It's not like I post controversial stuff, but I've grown uncomfortable about leaving any trace online.
How do you deal with a sudden bug in released version then? Or even bugs in the curent dev branch? All developers time is allocated to new features, there are no openings – so all the bugs are moved to the next spring automatically and we release with criticals?

Edit: everyeone's answering with very good advice on how to handle it, but my intention was not to ask for advice for any situation I encountered personally, but rather as a criticism of published document. It's written as if it covered all the bases, but it doesn't cover bugs.

I found that sentence odd... Swimmers do not really hold their breaths often. Some training involves breath holding, and sprinters will hold their breath, but the majority of training and all distance swimming involves relatively normal breathing - the body exhausts itself quickly when there is no oxygen coming in to the system. I do masters swimming after starting to swim recreationally in college, and the first thing you learn to conserve energy is to breath normally and not hold your breath.
I worked a few years in Paris and then in Canada... often for American companies. Even if he exaggerates a bit the points many of my colleagues who did similar stints is that "In Europe you work to live. In North America you live to work."

Well, sort of by definition, if you're doing "agile" and it's causing burnout, you're not "doing it right", but that seems to be the crux of the problem - every place I've ever worked that has tried to adopt a mindset of actual agility has almost immediately fallen back into the authoritarian command-and-control centralized decision management style that dictators prefer: "tell me everything that you're going to do and exactly how long it's going to take and then I'll argue with you that it shouldn't take that long and blame you when it takes longer".
thought that this was a long forgotten Scheme dialect, only to be schooled on historical monpolistic anti-trust protectionist events :D
Or, we could view them as “happiness activities”. In labor economics it is called leisure and the goal of people is to optimize between income and leisure.

I know lots of employed people who spend their days “staring out the window losing their mind”. It seems we have over optimized in the wrong direction (towards work and away from leisure).

Blaming may or may not be efficient in changing behaviour. That does not matter though.

We cannot blame a person for being brought up in a certain way, but that does not mean we should give them carte blanche to control anything of importance if their views are so heinous to our sensibilities.

If you were brought up to believe killing people is ok. I will not blame you for believing that, but I will also not let you watch my children alone.

When it comes to the major religions, the views expressed by their followers are rarely so offensive to us that we wish to limit their practitioners from keeping important posts in society(1). That is the entire point of society accepting the religions. They are declared sacred, acceptable, and free from discrimination. Being a holocaust denier or similar should not offer you the same protection.

(1): Whether this is a good thing or not is up for debate, but it is irrelevant to the point I am trying to make. The fact is that freedom of, and acceptance of, religion is central to western society.
But how do you not plan for that? It's not that people are waiting for non existing cars. They are waiting for cars that have been produced and are sitting in lots and ship yards.
Makes me wonder about gun people that go to the range a lot have altered thinking from the lead exposure, seriously.
I'm sure that when you say embedded it's not what most firmware people people think of as embedded, namely resource constrained MCUs where python's a dream and nothing's dynamically allocated and freed. Microchip has a somewhat nasty but functional example web server that runs on things like the dsPIC. You're not deploying onto a little processor though are you? What are you deploying onto?
Yup. If you checkout the wikipedia page on huffman coding you'll see that David Huffman got his idea while in an information theory class with Robert Fano. Fano had worked with Shannon (the inventor of information theory) to develop a similar coding, but Huffman was able to develop a provably better system.
> Also, have bullets always (historically) had lead?

Yes, but the volume has been way smaller before, until the advent of automated weapon in the 20 th century.
The core DNA of agile was always adaption.

But when your adaption consists of using your existing methodology with some agile concepts, but no retrospect on the methodology itself, you're not agile by definition.

What this "Agile Lite" puts right in the center is to split up your goals such that you can make meaningful work in a 3 week window, and track it asynchronously. Managers are free to have an overall plan for release in 12 months, as long as it's split up into units of work at most 1 day long.

What I think I read from your comment is that if you couldn't get this to work in the "Old" agile, you will fail with this as well, and I agree.
It's usually kids doing it for the same reason they graffiti or vandalise other peoples stuff.
I don't know about formal accusations and it is always dangerous to disagree with someone's view of "those people who"..... but speculation about pilot error has high rate of being generally accurate.
That wasn't what I was arguing though. I was saying vinyl feels nicer because it's more tactile but the audience shouldn't be groping your record collection.

Feeling the music (rather than touching the media) is a different matter. You can emotionally connect with the music being played regardless of the playback medium.
It's nice to see so many electronic music fans in HN
I would argue against the author’s entire premise. The nature of (white collar) work is changing, even in America.

I work a job that is 80% remote. I work from a coffee shop in the morning (and in fact, I am there right now!) I block my calendar and go work out whenever I feel like it. I rented a mountain cabin for a month and went skiing every day while working in the mornings and evenings. I get my work done and show up when needed for meetings — so my coworkers / supervisors don’t need to know any of this.

Remote work is definitely the future for most industries. Collaboration tools are only improving, are cheaper than office space, and allows access to a global resource pool.
