A more interesting tactic would be to make economic sanctions dependent on values-based policies. Stop censoring certain kinds of speech, and we'll lower tariffs a bit. Stop persecuting Uighurs, and Huawei can have Android back. Strongarm the communist party into being less evil, instead of bluntly attacking China as a whole. I think most of China's people would pressure its government to agree to those kinds of deals. It's really just those at the top who are doing all the bad stuff. The rest are just excited about their newfound prosperity and want to hang on to it.
Between Panic and Teenage Engineering I actually have faith in this being a worthwhile endeavor.

But if you don't know that, intelligence being correlated with ethnicity is a plausible hypothesis. We shouldn't take offense when someone who doesn't know the data tries to correlate intelligence ethnicity purely because they are interested in biology. Which is of course probably not the motivation of most people who claim there's a correlation.

Why do you fucking suck so much? How come you can't spell "brake" even though it's right there in the title.

But most of all, you are so indignant and uptight that it's sad and pathetic to see you flail wildly with outrage at something that has zero impact on your life.

You have no skin in the game. Stop caring.
Usually your favorite S3 like service. Do most of your development in modules then have “roots” that cover a well defined subsets of your infrastructure (say db, app servers, load balancer and firewall rules for a single app) then use workspaces to manage different environments. The docs for terraform are actually quiet.
It's not a new development. Such comments have been around HN for a long time. They ebb and flow. Being [dead] seems enough for them.
And that’s the argument the grand-parent is making. It’s a tool. It can be used for good or bad. There are other tools like that.

Because of that, there’s unlikely to be universal acceptance or rejection. And without popular opinion, it will be hard to pass any laws that change the status quo.

Recent versions of PICO-8 support full controller operation (browsing cartridge PNGs, launching, and quitting) through EmulationStation.

I use a versioned S3 bucket to store state in my project, terraform also supports "locks" to avoid race conditions/parallel execution. I've set up buildkite to run `terraform plan` and then if the output looks I can approve the next step to run `terraform apply`.

@masaeedu - Not to beat a dead horse, but we've been waiting for an RTM release of this since May when VS2017 first RTM'd. We were then told it would likely come in the July release of VS, we're now nearing the tail end of October with no clear idea when we'll get it. It's not @cartermp 's fault, just the reality that MS has not made it a high priority (judging by their actions, not their words.) In summary, if you want to use F#, use VSCode, it has excellent support for F#, as long as you realize it's not Visual Studio, it's a souped up text editor."
Almost everyone on HN recognizes that climate change is an existential threat to (most) life on earth. There is less agreement on how to mitigate it's effects.

One solution which I favor is nationalization of US oil companies. While hardly discussed in the US, it's a solution that is currently being discussed in the UK and has been done by many different countries, though usually because of the legacy of imperialism and colonialism. Overtime I have come to the realization free market solutions and incentives are incapable of spurring the changes needed to transition to a cleaner form of energy, especially with the short time scale we have before results are disastrous.

I suspect Mark found it to be an interesting thought experiment to decide at what price he'd actually be willing to sell the domain (that hosts much of his life work!), and then he listed it just in case someone would actually pay that.

I don't suspect anyone has ever actually been interested in buying the domain, to be perfectly honest.

The issue is not whether it is amoral or not to do something. The issue is in the inherent asymmetry in making an error.

If i knowingly sell a hammer to a particularly wicked individual, perhaps a dozen or so innocent people will perish due to my actions.

However, if i sell facial recognition to the wrong individual, I may have wiped out an entire generation, gene pool, race, etc.

The probabilities of either event are irrelevant. What matters is the consequences of the fat tails.

Wicked use of a hammer != wicked use of mass surveillance.
Ansible can very easily, and often does, end up in situations where two runs of the same playbook both have drastically different results. roles/playbooks slowly become Bash scripts written in a YAML layer parsed as a Jinja2 template.. and the project turns into a mess of many layers of indirection.

it attempts to and encourages declarative configuration, but is very hard to keep that way. it is difficult and requires determination to make Terraform do something in a non-declarative fashion.

the end result is that when I look at a Terraform configuration I can very easily tell what is going on, because the end result is exactly what I read. where with Ansible, it very much depends on understanding the current state of the server you are about to run this playbook on, and you just have to cross your fingers and hope for the best.

Studies ratimg the effectiveness of psychotropic drugs, and any treatment, are plagued by the problem that no rigorous diagnostic method can tease apart the myriad illnesses lumped into each DSM category.

So, anytime you want to check a treatment, you round up a few dozen depression or schizophreia sufferers and dose them. Lo and behold, only a few do better, because those were the only ones who had the actual problem it helped. All the others need something else. But it gets rejected, because it "doesn't work".
This is awesome. Love the 90s aesthetic!
I don't agree it is subpar. I have a fairly long list of reasons for preferring CF over Terraform. I agree on combining CF with Ansible though. My recipe is to wrap a CF template in an Ansible role. It makes for a versioned chunk of automation that composes well with my other roles, including ones that are not CF based. Plus I can do non-CF setup tasks using any Ansible module, and even run tests, to get pretty much full end-to-end automation for a given stack. I haven't found a way to get the same degree of power and flexibility from Terraform without resorting to writing custom plugins.
It's not good, it doesn't understand the TF types and recommends values that are invalid for the context, there's no inline help (you have to go look it up on the website), refactoring a variable name doesn't fully work, and you can't set breakpoints or trace through the execution to determine what's going on... I mean it's practically in the mid-80s, although most of those things worked even back then.

The lesson here is that if you plan on making a language, even a DSL, you want to be sure you're really up for it since it's a lot of work.
Yes, airplane mode turns off WiFi.

But if you turn on WiFi without airplane mode, even once, you can never again turn off WiFi (only) via Control Center. You can only "Disconnect".

And if you enter Airplane Mode while disconnected, then exit Airplane Mode, WiFi will not be disconnected, but fully enabled (blue). The only way to keep cellular service and disable WiFi at that point is via settings.

In other words, a Windows GUI with a Unix-like CLI? That's something I can certainly agree with --- Windows has traditionally been very lacking with its CLI, while the Unix-ish systems (including Linux) seem to be quite fragmented and awkward at GUIs.

I also thought the terminal font looked familiar, then realised it's either the same as or a very close version of the "misc-fixed" fonts[1] that I use in my terminals and for editing plaintext (including source code) --- it even has the slashed zero that I added to mine, and which the original fonts lacked. The general UI font looks like a proportional version of it, which I've honestly never seen before but think it's quite pleasing too.

Is the model available yet?
Nearly every society I look at has a widely diverse set of morals present in it. You might get widespread agreement that "rape is bad" but when you start to look closer there is disagreement within that about what constitutes rape (something I don't understand personally, but I can't ignore that it exists).

There is widespread disagreement about the use of force, who should care for the sick and poor and when, and so many other things.

So maybe I don't understand what you mean by a morally absolute society.

I don't understand your point of "that's your truth, you can't impose that on me." That's literally how most of us have to get along. If we were unable to accept moral differences in other people, we would be completely unable to function as a society. I don't believe there has ever been two people who have completely agreed on what's moral or not.

I think TfL just wants money. People won't pay for public transportation with increased taxes and whine loudly whenever fares are increased to cover the cost of the ride, so instead they track your movements with WiFi.

From a 2016 article,. Quotes from a Premier League agent

"This summer had a familiar feel in many respects as Arsenal faltered in the transfer window (...) yet it concluded with Granit Xhaka, Rob Holding, Skhodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez arriving for a combined fee approaching £90million.

“Four years ago, they bought a company called StatDNA in Chicago,(..)They will take a player and collate data based on every pass, sprint, shot, assist, goal – you name it – he has ever made. These stats are fed into a computer that assesses strengths and weaknesses against every professional in the game before producing an overall value of that player.

Arsenal tend to use statistics to raise questions or confirm observations on possible targets and sometimes unearth players for scouting. "

I'm also not as sure as you are that server side ads identity management would be any different than the existing arms race with measurement of measurement meta-ness.

client facing JS is messed with all the time already as well. monkey patching etc. trying to detect monkey patching, toString prototype toStringMetaMeasurement bs etc it will always be a fraud arms race.

to me buying ads is about finding more trust and verifying when possible, obviously any system will be gamed but I'd trust the NYTimes would not mess with FBs server side npm package. and it would make it a lot harder for safari to block when the login session cookie IS the identity cookie FB uses

Few interesting stories about aviation and laser

1. While I was reading about the Falkland war's naval action, I learned British warships at one time (70s - 80s ?) were specifically equipped with laser emitters to try to distract jet fighter pilots flying into attack the war ships. This was when some jet fighters still had to fly in close to the warships to attack them.

This was mentioned in the book "One Hundred Days: The Memoirs of the Falklands Battle Group Commander (Bluejacket Books)", by Adm. Sandy Woodward.

2. Since a few years ago, US air crew members (specifically on low/slow ones like helicopters) flying around the DMZ area in S. Korea are required to wear protective goggles to protect their eyes from laser beams pointed by North Korean soldiers. This apparently happened a few times and so wearing the protective goggle became a requirement for the crews.

3. Few years ago, a man (fisherman ?) was swept out to the sea at night off one of the Hawaiian islands. He was able to stay afloat but unable to swim into shore. When he heard a helicopter searching for him, he pointed a laser beam emitter into the sky. He pointed out into the sky but away from the helicopter. This helped the air crew locate him quickly for the rescue.
