An out of the box Linux installation with a few changes should be enough. Though you should probably use a hardened distribution. The above poster basically listed the final steps. Go to the kernel and build a white list of valid USB devices (the machine's keyboard and mouse) to prevent it from talking to a "keyboard" you plug in. Turn off auto-mounting features, record traffic so you can double check. And keep the machine physically airgaped.
Except you can always turn this off, so you can still run the “features” you want.

So while you’re assuming evil intensions, occam’s razor would suggest that instead this is actually about preventing ever increasing malware even for software that don’t originate from the App Store. It’s about creating a record that traces executables back to their authors.
Actually eventually every state in the compact will be worth 270 votes or more. Immediately more important to “woo” than states not in the compact. The only thing against them is not having it go into partial effect.

Their lifetime is also non-linear with respect to ambient temperature. A 10 C reduction[1] in ambient temperature roughly doubles the lifetime.

So shielding the capacitor from heat can be very beneficial, even if it's just a few degrees.

>Treating young people like they are less savvy or reasoned about the decisions is always a mistake.

I am not sure it is always a mistake. People have made billions of dollars by doing. Look at how sneakers are advertised and sold. On a more sinister note, take a look at the whole Joe Camel cigarette advertising campaign.
My understanding is that unrestricted immigration has the opposite effect: rich countries taking advantage of poor ones, via “brain drain”. That’s why the average age of medicine doctors in Poland seems to be around 50: all the younger ones went to Germany or Scandinavia.

It’s true for blue collar workers as well: try hiring a contractor to remodel your house and then watch them leave the job unfinished because they got a better paying gig in UK (that actually happened to a friend of mine)
Takes this with a grain of salt, since I haven't done much more than dabble with J, but I've heard that it (and APL) basically forces you to carefully read and fully understand the code, rather than skimming, which is generally what happens with "easier to read" languages.

And since it's so dense, you don't need a lot of lines of code to do most things.
Interesting. How were geographically and socio-economically diverse were these surveys? Were they verified?

It's hard to assess these results without knowing: 1. how many of those teens had any choice; 2. how many teens had an informed choice; 3. how many teens reported having no phone.

By the time Fuschia actually ships as a complete OS, perhaps the industry will have moved on to a new hardware form factor and smartphones will be considered a legacy product. Sort of like how Android was originally designed as an OS for compact cameras and then later pivoted to smartphones.

Maybe it's a regional thing, as the South was oddly oversampled at 45% of the 8000. I don't hang around teens but do make a point of looking at what tech they're using when I see them, and I've never seen one wearing a smartwatch of any kind. Apple Watch is just getting to the hand-me-down stage so maybe that's it.

I totally buy that Apple has a very strong brand with teens, I just don't see smartwatches as being must-haves for teens. I'd guess more teens would want to put the extra $$ into a newer smartphone (faster & with a better camera) instead of a secondary device.
Enjoy the fun.
I am not sure why you don’t consider it successful. Here in London iOS is the default. Android-wise I only see two categories of users: power-users that chose Android for functional or ideological reasons, and budget-constrained users that cant afford or don’t see the value in an iOS device. Both those groups seem to be the minority, just looking around for people on their phones in public places yields a majority of iPhones.
Conversely, it can't be discounted that the fashion might follow functionality. Apples has a lot more experience than Google at creating comprehensively great user experiences.

Google's signature successes, Search and Mail, have wildly different success criteria for user satisfaction than an operating system. Apple's signature successes all have operating systems and then there is the iPod which is a bit different.

The iPhone is differentiated by much more than Apple's marketing. Everybody markets their product.
That's exactly how I travel to tech-related summits around the world, and I have nothing to do with espionage I assure you.

I have 3 cellphones - one private (family calls, face time etc), one CDMA phone and one separate GSM for the most of EU countries. And external SSD drive with all my important backups and projects that would take forever to download off of DropBox. And yes - recently even cheap signal detector, as I don't want to be watched in my hotel room, even only for "security reasons" as to whether I will demolish the room or not. (call me paranoid but so was I before Snowden files and I was proven right)

I usually carry about $3,000 USD total in different currency - usually 20% AUD, 20% CAD, 30% USD and rest EUR/GBP. Trust me so many times paying with cash comes to be much cheaper, and at some occasions the only way to go!

Yes, thumb drive too; usually empty so that if I am at the meeting and someone wants to send me some heavy files, I can give them my thumb and viola!

If all this makes me a spy then I definitely need to change my profession :|
To be fair, most people probably wouldn't be able to read a serious example of J, and hello world is just 'hello, world', so I think it's ok.

>Many top level powerlifters have said that when they're attempting a personal record lift, they pretend that they're lifting a heavy car off their wife or children.

One danger about that is that they might push themselves too hard. If it came down to lifting heavy car off my wife or child, messing up my back permanently is a price I would gladly pay for success in the endeavor. Messing up my back is not something that would be a great exchange for beating my personal record.
RCS is designed to be controlled by the carriers. You know what else is controlled by carriers and has gone to shit as far as spam and security is concerned? SMS.

We actually have to thank the “walled garden” for the lack of spam on iMessage.

While I’d like Apple to also support RCS, I still want iMessage to remain the default for communicating with iOS users.

> It's a severe discredit to the major operating system vendors that plugging in a USB stick can still compromise a system.

Universal plug'n'play is USB's reason for existence, if it can't do that then maybe we should step away from USB itself. Back when keyboards were plugged into PS/2 ports I didn't have to worry a floppy disk would emulate one (ignoring autorun). I'm sure it's possible to have a malicious PS/2 device, but having it plug into the keyboard port would at least indicate what it's going to do.

Not an Arch user but their documentation is amazing (small sample[0]). I toyed with FreeBSD years ago and have never forgotten just how well documented the entire system was too[1].

Well-written documentation (with plenty of real world examples) is severely underappreciated in modern tech. It's not only empowering but it's just plain fun getting under the hood.

> As a society we have already decided that minimum wage is necessary

I'm suggesting that the laws are misguided. You can't counter my argument by simply stating "but those are the laws". In particular there is a movement to increase minimum wages and I'm arguing against these proposed changes. When you point to the "plethora ... that put these laws in place" (past decisions) as some sort of proscription on discussion of future decisions you've completely lost me.
> I honestly can't understand why Google hasn't been able to replicate the success of iMessage

It's not because Google is doing a bad job, it's because Apple is doing a _great_ job.

Apple's framing of iOS as a luxury brand is why the "blue vs. green bubbles" type of sentiment has real impact within younger social circles.

Yeah exactly. But the key is not to say “lower my bill”, but rather “these charges aren’t mine”.

If they send it to collections you can dispute it. A lot of laws and things around that.

It sounds like it hasn’t been charged off yet though, since they want you to pay Google, not them.

I'm not belittling you, I'm trying to say that the flag button is very important, serves a specific purpose, and should not be treated like a downvote button. You are probably missing the point. As someone who has been a moderator, I've had to work with people who use their personal feelings to decide what should and shouldn't be censored -- and they make awful moderators. Moderators shouldn't censor things because "they personally feel it won't lead to discussion". That's what user interaction is for: the users decide what is and isn't appropriate for discussion with their votes and comments.

The best moderators use objective criteria when exercising their powers. You might want to say that you're not a moderator and that you're just a user, but this also misses the point. HackerNews has been kind enough to give users a moderation tool (flagging), so you should treat the tool with respect. You have great power with that tool, and your contributions are very important, so it's important that we contribute in a good way.
'You should know the price before you agree to buy the product' seems like such an innocuous principle. Why isn't their broad-based support of it for medical care?

If you need emergency care then sure, there isn't time. The vast majority of interactions with the medical system aren't that type of emergency though. People have time to choose the better of two options. They can't decide on better if they don't know the price.
> Being chased by a bear would also result in decreased boredom

Some observations:

(1) Fight-or-flight is only one out of a spectrum of conscious experiences. Any meditator or psychonaut can tell you about the endless states of mind. There is a lot to explore with just that. There are many peak experiential states (profound feeling of aliveness, connectedness, etc). I can guarantee you that a profound sense of aliveness is way better than fight-or-flight, as is the feeling called "fiero" (the sense of profound pride and joy of accomplishing something after years of arduous training or work).

(2) I don't train my martial arts with heightened sense of danger and adrenaline, or at least, that is not my only mode of training. If anything, I am going for dead calm at high intensity.

(3) Some meditation disciplines, such as Dzogchen, understand boredom as a form of restlessness, and the gateway to greater awareness. Boredom is understood as a state that can happen with any activity, and has more to do with the mind's inability to accept what is going on in the here-and-now.

Tinkering with my mind and body gives me a great deal of satisfaction (and frustration!) as does tinkering with code.
> but again in the digital world.

You can always buy a different platform. Seems like that's plenty of liberty.
You keep adressing my secondary point. The one that seems to personally hurt you.

Here’s an alternative theory... I didn’t take it personally because I didn’t take the stance you’re criticizing. Now you’re left in the untenable position of assuming I was offended on the behalf of some strangers, or what bothers me is unrelated to “hurtfulness” and has to do with something else.

My top comment in this discussion has started being downvoted. This might change, but it will still be the case that a big part of the HN audience disagrees with me.

Again, perspective is your friend. Maybe people disagree with you, maybe they disagree with how you’re saying what you’re saying, or maybe they agree with parts, but not the whole. This is yet another illustration of the perils in treating s diverse community as a monolith. For example my problem with your original comment was the signal:noise ratio, best illustrated by the complete innacuracy of how you characterized the reaction of so many people. Your latter day hand-waving about “it changed over time” is more of the same.
> who are the "wrong people" that massive social programs enrich? Can you give an example? Most of federal spending is medicare, medicaid and social security; which are immensely popular with voters of all kind.

If you ask people if they support the abstract idea of having a military so we're not invaded by foreign forces, or having a program to prevent the elderly from dying in the streets, they say yes.

But then you ask them whether social security should send a larger check to a retired Jeff Bezos than a retired firefighter on a fixed income, or the government should spend billions of dollars on equipment the military itself says it doesn't need but the Congressman from the district which is getting the contract to build it says that it does, and the public support for that falls off pretty fast.

And those "features" cause those programs to cost hundreds of billions of dollars more than they need to, which money could otherwise go to infrastructure and schools and tax cuts for the middle class, all of which are also immensely popular with voters of all kinds. But won't happen when the programs absorbing more than three quarters of the total budget are administered in a federal system where the Congressmen are rewarded for bringing home the pork and Florida is an important swing state full of retirees.
I suppose the reason I choose to argue the semantics is that I think overdefining the term socialism hides the critique of capitalism that socialism embodies, and I think that does a disservice to the debate.
Google search worked much better over 10 years ago than it does for me today, i.e. before it abandoned the what-you-search-is-what-you-get model. My once-masterful Google-fu seems to be borderline useless today. I'm not sure what happened over the years, but Google search has morphed into a completely different, less useful product, at least for me.

Any search term not wrapped in quotes can be randomly ignored today. It can inject keywords it thinks you want (but really don't). Google is great for searching modern sites like Stack Overflow, but it seems to have lost interest in servicing power users.

In my experience that doesn't work.
Instant runoff voting is not obviously better than the current system, and in fact it might be worse. Not only does it still have issues with "vote splitting", it also has a property called non-monotonicity. This means you can hurt a candidate by ranking them higher, or help a candidate by ranking them lower. I find this to be a fairly dishonorable voting system to implement. If you want voting systems without these issues, you need range voting or condorcet voting.
I've shared the same exact frustration for over a decade now. One of Linux's greatest strengths gives rise to it's biggest weakness- fragmentation.

"I disagree with x design decision, I'll make my own distro"

It's like there is so much rope that the community can't help but hang itself. The talent is spread across dozens of distros each with their own ethos and design direction. Every new distro hurts Linux as a whole at this point.
There's been issues with code signing but you can't say it's been pointless. It's a significant hoop to jump for malware writers and out of reach for basic script kiddies.

> it's your responsibility to vet what you plug into it

Okay, please explain a little more. I'll give you a concrete example of a device to work with.

Last week I accidentally left my usb flash drive at a coffee shop with some important files on it. When I went back, the coffee shop had it in the lost and found. It looks the same on the outside, but it's a mass-produced model.

How do a vet this hardware before plugging it into my computer? I do need to access the files on it, but also attackers may have had access to it for several hours.
One piece of feedback: I've often wished to work on static analysis tools, but too much of the work in this area is focused on Haskell or Lisp. (All of the code in this article is in Haskell or Lisp.)

Does any of this stuff work on Java, Python, or JavaScript? I want to improve the quality of real-world programs written in industry-standard languages.

This "gentle introduction" makes it seem like the first step of the process is "port your app to a homoiconic language," -- or, in other words, "you can prove the correctness of any language you want, as long as it's Haskell or Lisp."
see my point #2

> 2) I have to because i'm having integration problem

i'll prob go to the docs first and source code last. that said, my point isn't "avoid looking at source code". It's "I don't seek out source code of libraries for the purposes of learning".

if i'm trying to get stuff done, i don't give two shits how a third party tool wrote its fancy functions. that's the point of abstraction.

and most of the time, when i'm using third party tools i'm just trying to get shit done.

> It's an intellectual property issue, they have the exclusive rights to produce the pill. It is illegal for any other company to make the same product. That exclusivity lets them set the price.

The exclusivity isn't what lets them maintain different prices in different countries, which is the problem at hand. Those different prices are only feasible because of artificial trade barriers, as evidenced by the fact that these price differences also occur with generic medications, which are not subject to exclusivity protections.

> Why do you have "ip" in quotes, its literally the single most important thing in this conversation.

Because "intellectual property" is a highly controversial term which conflates three complete unrelated categories of law that each have different origins and underlying justifications.
Love this article but take issue with this statement: "The experience of place is an irreducibly embodied experience.". The author moderates it by pointing out that there is a physical experience of gaming, but I think this misses the point that we don't yet know the limits of virtual experiences.

There is a similar attitude when folks insist that robotic embodiment is required for AI, or that AI structures must mimic the human brain to achieve "real" intelligence. I think these attitudes, by trying to draw a bright line, lead people to consistently underestimate how powerful new media can be.
