Working for the federal government in the current climate would be a recipe for financial ruin. Which is a shame, because working for the betterment of the NPS is something I can get behind otherwise.
While I as much as anyone else would love to promote Mumble, the project is certainly languishing nowadays. Last stable release was two years ago and its not like they have nothing to improve on - the stable release is still Qt4 based and the Qt5 version has been in git for over a year now.

I'm positive if you polled developers today Mumble would be missing critical features or performance characteristics that Teamspeak / Vivox are working on to improve while Mumble is stalled out because the money isn't there to keep up healthy maintainership in the long run.

I doubt it was that. From what I have heard he was the only one trying to blame it on civil servants.

Plus as its a criminal matter they would have been able to get warrants to get call records. As the journalist that broke the story is known, its not hard to figure out from there.
Ask HN: Was my job posting hidden from who's hiring?
I posted this job on today's "Who's hiring" thread. I got one email message from an interested party. Then went back to see the posting and I have searched the entire thread and cannot find it. Am I crazy or was my post hidden from the "Who's hiring" thread? I still see it in my list of comment son my profile, so it hasn't been completely deleted. Can anyone see my job posting or shed some light on what's happening?

"We're all doing it, so you better do it too" isn't a particularly compelling argument.

That's not the argument. The real argument is from principle. The principle of inherent human rights.

Many of the pieces which go into a desktop have a strong assumption of being able to interact with other components in ways other than a network socket. Containerizing an application is one thing, but how do you containerize something that has plugins? What about desktop widgets? Do they go in their own containers, or get mixed in with the host's somehow? How is ABI compatibility enforced now that we're in container land and none of that matters any more?

What about client/server components where there's dbus in between, like the network manager or volume control?

These are solvable problems, but it's been enough of a challenge building a server OS from containers (RancherOS), and building a desktop OS that way is a significantly harder problem.

I've seen two arguments on why to trust Wikileaks.

Wikileaks itself likes to say nothing they have published has been disputed as being incorrect. Since 2006 they have never published a retraction/correction and Wikileaks claims that no one has proven a factual inaccuracy in any of the documents they published. I don't know of any factual inaccuracies myself, but if you know of any I would be interested to hear about it. I think most can agree that this is uncommon in most media (mainstream or otherwise).

Another weaker argument is the incredible lengths various governments have gone to suppress Wikileaks. The demonization of Wikileaks (especially in the media) is sometimes cited as a reason to trust its publications. The argument goes that because Wikileaks is attacked by such powerful and arguably corrupt institutions that Wikileaks must be a perceived threat to these institutions. On its face, this argument is much weaker than the previous one. Censorship of InfoWars makes the comparison you made seem quite apt in this regard. Another counterargument to this point is that apparent opposition can be purely theatrical similar to professional wrestling. Lenin's quote on controlled opposition is appropriate in this context.
Wow is this ancient history already? At the time is was regarded as completely retarded because nobody used IE6 except grandmas and corporations. So youtube telling us to use IE6 was silly. On top of that, many websites took the popup and made it so you couldn't actually see their content under any circumstances. Those sites simply got ignored by literally everyone on a corporate browser.

Largely it was a waste of time but it did pique the media's interest.
I think looking for primary sources is only necessary at this level when there is good reason to question the credibility of the secondary source. "Not their specific field of expertise" isn't sufficient, especially when they're just citing facts and not interpreting them.

I think there's a substantial difference in value between citing primary sources to refute a secondary source, versus dismissing a secondary source out of hand because it's not a primary source.

(This is actually familiar ground to me; my spouse has been teaching popularized dance history lately, and I've been encouraging her to write a book on the subject, because her interpretation challenges some conventional wisdom. She doesn't want to write a book because she's too reliant on secondary sources and too lazy to go read through more of the primary source material.)

> busing homeless out of main areas

Something is really wrong with the world when a city throwing around billions of dollars for a sports competition thinks just moving homeless people out of the way is an ethical answer to the problem.

If there was anyone in the decision making process with empathy they might run "slightly overbudget" by a few hundred million to build a hospital, rehab center, and public housing development to get those homeless off the streets permanently.

The main argument in favor changing diet, to me, is the potential psychological and social effects. When something you do multiple times a day is different from what you used to do, and what many others around you do, it stays active in your thoughts and might trigger other, more meaningful activity.

I don't know if this is actually true, but anecdotally at least it seems to be. The people around me who seem to be most active when it comes to the topic of climate change also tend to be vegetarians or vegans. And many of them started down this path by changing their diets, sometimes even for reasons that weren't ideological.
> Tesla is, in fact, planning on deploying an improved NN chip in 2 years (currently in development).

So Tesla is planning to spend another $100 to $200 Million on this project? For another chip? That's 10% of its remaining cash (Tesla only has $2.2 Billion left)

I'm not convinced that Tesla has the cash for these projects.

Of course Tether can charge a fee to mint new Tethers, or to exchange Tethers for actual dollars. That's exactly what they do.

It's why "reduce" and "reuse" come before "recycling" in the full slogan. That's not compatible with the capitalist drive to upgrade and dispose of consumer electronics once every year or two, to say nothing of the packaging waste involved in many foods.

More of what I was thinking was a killfile controlled by the user, uploaded to the server when updated, that would allow the server to filter messages. You could allow shared blocked lists and support wildcards with whitelist exceptions. In this way, you can block everyone and whitelist who you want, so changing your IRC user name does not help.

In most cases, unless the person connects from somewhere else, specifying a sufficiently wildcarded netmask for the host part also prevents the IRC nick change.
Not the OP but I think it definitely does. What's the public health damage caused by disease epidemics like obesity and diabetes in the long term, tens if not hundreds of billions, even more?

It's time to bring the hammer down on advertisement and manipulation of people's behaviour. Imagine if the government would try to nudge people in the way these companies do, we'd never here the end of it and rightfully so.
I have turned pescatarian a while ago for no other reason because I don't find it very natural to eat large amounts of meat. In the last five years or so I've been strongly of the belief that meat, especially meat like beef, should get taxed so highly that it essentially becomes a luxurious good which families can only enjoy once every so often and not 3-5 times a day. First people will be extremely upset and call it classist, but later (especially new generations) will just get used to the fact and quickly adapt to the new normal where farming beef and eating cows every day is just not a normal way of life.

Ultimately there is no birthright to eating meat every day, there are no health benefits or other benefits of doing so, contrary it;s actually bad for health and our planet and therefore there is nothing classist about taxing beef so high that the average person shouldn't be able to afford it more than a handful of times per month.

We need bold politicians in this world to look at the cost of these things and implement a tax system which incentivise a more balanced lifestyle and also account for the cost/damage that a high consumption of meat causes to society.

This article is a bit weird in that it goes in to all this stuff about the monks' struggle to focus, but never once talks about the practice of meditation. Reading the first few paragraphs, I was thinking "this is precisely what meditation is for". These are exactly the issues meditation addresses.

"Distraction is an old problem, and so is the fantasy that it can be dodged once and for all."

Except that that's precisely what meditation practice does.
