We sure do.

In the old recipe, we replace the margarine with butter. We always replace the passenger pigeon, typically with chicken, but there may be higher-quality substitutes.

If you want to paint in the style of Rembrandt, you can do that without deadly toxic vermilion.

Music by Mozart and Berlioz is not normally played on the serpent or ophicleide. We're even beginning the process of replacing the contrabassoon with the contraforte.

So likewise, if you want to replace a heavy roof that supports fire and insects and fungus, you would use materials without those problems. The steel replacement beam may be of the original dimensions if it is hollow, but that only makes sense for something externally visible. Unseen internal structure need not replicate the original.
If you use dependencies from crates.io or other online sources, then yes you'd need to download those somehow. But that can be done separately, on an entirely different computer if you wanted.
I googled "assange paranoid 2012", and first hit was https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/jun/24/nick-c...

Titled Definition of paranoia: supporters of Julian Assange. Feel free to read the text in the contest of today's news.

"More pertinently, Greenwald and the rest of Assange's supporters do not tell us how the Americans could prosecute the incontinent leaker. American democracy is guilty of many crimes and corruptions. But the First Amendment to the US constitution is the finest defence of freedom of speech yet written. The American Civil Liberties Union thinks it would be unconstitutional for a judge to punish Assange... From the 1970s, when the New York Times printed the Pentagon Papers, to today's accounts of secret prisons and the bugging of US citizens, the American courts "have made clear that the First Amendment protects independent third parties who publish classified information". Maybe the authorities could prosecute Assange for alleged links with hackers. I don't know – unlike Assange, I cannot see the future. But why would they bother to imprison him when he is making such a good job of discrediting himself?"

What happens when one peer doesn't have internet access for a moment and a snapchat is delivered at that moment? How do you build "retries" into a decentralized infrastructure? If no server is storing the content, couldn't someone fill up my phone storage simply by sending me videos repeatedly? The infrastructure forces my phone to instantly download the content, because no one is paying for storage of it before it gets routed to me right?

These are genuine questions because I don't understand everything either
I don't know about cheering, but let's be honest here. Assange let himself be used by the Russians, either knowingly or naively, and he willingly jumped into a hyper partisan US election. Just like some people want to put Hillary Clinton in prison, some are going to want to see Assange punished. Snowden released a lot of information that was very valuable to the citizens of the US, and that's great, but he also went well beyond that and there is a legitimate argument to be made that such behavior should be punished. He's also currently accepting the hospitality of the Russian gov't, which just adds another reason to be skeptical of his neutrality. Manning is kind of the same thing, he went far beyond releasing a controversial video showing misconduct, so some punishment was just. And the commutation by Obama was just.

There are lots of people in the US that believe strongly in the rule of law.
It would seem that you don't do any business with China. Things from China are so cheap that their primary competition is other Chinese manufacturers.
When products that I can get from China for $0.65 are >$7 from the US, those tariffs would have to be 1000% for them to make them noncompetitive.

The popularity of a language does not tend to correlate well with how useful or good the language is for a given use, true. But it is not meaningless, either.

If a language is popular, then companies are more likely to use it, if only because the pool of engineers they can hire from is larger.

For example, two companies I've worked for have seriously debated shifting to Java. Not for technical reasons, but because Java programmers are easy to find, and often are cheaper. (Neither of them ended up making that shift, though.)
I think it started as counter-trolling, and then a bunch of people were like "Wait, that's actually a pretty good idea." Which is the danger of trolling in the first place...you might dredge up some idea that's better left alone.

Cutting down a fraction of industrial activity- which represents a fraction of human-made CO2 output, which is only about 5% of mother nature's CO2 output- seems a lot less efficient than improving upon mother nature's own carbon sequestration schemes. It's better to sequester potentially all of the CO2 in the atmosphere instead of targeting a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of atmospheric CO2
According to an oft referenced Princeton study, the will of the population has almost exactly zero impact on congressional voting:
https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27074746

Eh? What exactly is JavaScript's numeric type then? I always presumed it was a 32-bit, signed integer..
That's good advice, but it must be mentioned that discipline (and attention) are like muscles, you can strengthen them, but you can also strain them to dysfunction. A one-sided approach, where you're always "on" can't work, it needs to be intermittent. You have to pace yourself. In a way, discipline is to be able to do when you're not doing, and to be able to not do, when you're doing. This last point should ring true to those with tendencies to obsess and burnout (like me).
No actually it wouldn't. It's already a crime to encourage people to act illegally -- that's technically a conspiracy.

Journalists that have ethical standards wouldn't do this.
>This is utter nonsense. US government routinely loses high profile cases.

Not when both sides agree they shouldn't lose.

If he was just being extradited because "hurr-durr, muh classified info" or "hurr-dur, muh DNC emails" it would be a toss up but because both sides of the government want him screwed for various reasons he will be screwed.
Sometimes fine PR'S just sit without review or merging because the maintainer is busy with their life. If some money rewards them to look, great.
I did some testing with pypy, which also works with arbitrarily large integers but iirc does JIT instead of interpretation (like cpython would do), so that should be similar to JS in V8 except that it has arbitrarily large integers.

a = Math.pow(2, 1023)
t = new Date().getTime()
for (var i = 0; i < 1e7; i++) {
a += i;
}
console.log(new Date().getTime() - t);

vs

a = pow(2, 1024)
t = time.time()
for i in range(int(1e7)):
a += i
print(time.time() - t)

Both ran a bunch of times: pypy does it in 279ms and nodejs in 250. I chose 1024 for Python because that is where JS starts to return infinity, so the JS code does operations on a number just below that. The time seems to be spent in the loop, as an empty loop or a loop doing a+=0 is 20x faster.

Lowering the exponent to 100, JS spends 269ms and pypy 142. Not sure why that is, but having arbitrarily large integers doens't seem to make this arithmetic any faster.

I don't know how to quickly toy around with fraction-based floats, but at least for arbitrarily large integers, I'm not sure why we're going to have to put up with new syntax.

Whenever a journalist asks their source for classified information, which they do all the time, they're asking their source to break the law.

That's not true but I don't have time to run through an exhaustive legal explanation of why. In a nutshell: the source is responsible for maintaining security of information, because third parties like journalists don't know the bounds of what is covered by confidentiality.

Moreover, asking for information is not the same thing as soliciting information. Asking is fine, soliciting is not (in this context, soliciting means offering them something of value in exchange for the information).

The data cited in this article comes from the Federal Reserve's Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking. Their website[1] has the full 2018 report[2] as well as CSV of the data going back to 2013 when it started.

The headline comes from the Retirement section of the PDF, which begins on page 55 of the PDF.

As mentioned by others, this "None" category isn't nearly so interesting as some of the other data in the report. Notably:

> When asked about their finances, 75 percent of adults say they are either doing okay or living comfortably. This result in 2018 is similar to 2017 and is 12 percentage points higher than 2013.

To extradite without such a guarantee is a blatant violation of the UK's obligations as a signatory of the ECHR, as to do so would violate his right to life.

If there's any reason to suspect that no such guarantee exists, they may well apply to the ECtHR after any Supreme Court decision to extradite him, and it would be unlikely that he'd be extradited until the ECtHR judgment had happened.

That said, if it comes to light after he's been extradited any application to the ECtHR would likely do little for him, though it would be politically damaging.
Well, for starters all the information that Assange published while running Wikileaks embarasses the previous political administration, not the current (Trump) administration... Moreover, Assange isn't being charged with embarassing anyone, since American journalists do that all the time. Assange is being charged with specific illegal acts that actual journalists don't do, like actually trying to break encryption on classified documents.

Crowdfunding is not inherently limited in scale. If it can raise $5k $50k or $500k, there's no reason to think it couldn't raise $5M. Or even $350M for that matter. The reason these projects aren't being funded is because they're basically uneconomic to make in the first place; by forcing people to pay for content instead of releasing it for free (effectively a price floor!) the proprietary market has to compete by "gold-plating" the stuff and wasting away any potential gains in efficiency.

Compare U.S. airlines before deregulation got rid of the price floors there. Incredibly appealing service, with great waiting areas at the airport, gourmet meals in-flight, young attractive air-hostesses, and so on and so forth - but only if you could afford it in the first place! Behind all that luxury, we were actually seeing rampant wastage of resources.
Your first and second sentence seem to contradict each other.
The superstition that so-called 'economic growth' (which is actually not growth at all, but just a global entropy increase) can be decoupled from physical dismantling of ecosystems is a faith-based initiative of consumer-fundamentalism. There's no evidence that it's possible, and even the best approaches we can make would take centuries of technological advance - each decade destroying more of our living home.
> It’s the idea of turning the other cheek.

I had to look this up.

> refrain from retaliating when one has been attacked or insulted.

I don't think he have retaliated in anyway, at least from the github commit message and the blog post. He just decided it wasn't worth his free time to deal with this problem. Maybe there is a disagreement with the definition of rage quitting but it was his open source project and his free time. I don't think it's rage quitting if he wants to quit and do something else with his free time.

Rage quitting have a negative connotation such as flipping table or that scene from the movie Half baked where the dude cussed everybody out before quitting. He seems to have a career, whether you care or not, labeling at such may be detrimental to his career.

Regardless of if you care or not, I hope other people refrain from speculating or do huge leaps of conclusion base on little or no facts that can damage other people's ability to make a living.
When you consider the effort to get to that stage of locomotion it's amazing that flying birds haven't advanced faster technologically.

> Assange let himself be used by the Russians, either knowingly or naively, and he willingly jumped into a hyper partisan US election.

Believing that narrative actually requires trusting the US security services, who may or may not have something to gain from a new cold war.

There are simpler explanations with just as much evidence behind them.

> There are lots of people in the US that believe strongly in the rule of law.

Did Jeff Bezos put in a million times as much effort as a typical minimum wage worker?

The reason why it's fair to make Jeff pay way more taxes than the average person is because he benefits way more from public services than the average person. Where would Amazon be without public roads, electricity, or water services?

You can perform this exercise with any big company. The idea that an entrepreneur builds a billion dollar business entirely on their own and so they deserve all of the wealth produced is the most pernicious idea in our societies today. Unfortunately, as the Monopoly study showed [1], this idea may be universal to humans who obtain an advantage.

Most of those leaks likely came from the Trump camp, not DOJ.

But yeah, government employees who leak classified information are charged all the time. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
To be clear, I wasn't arguing either way. I was just saying that a single poster on this site is not a way to get a feel for how common an opinion was back then. Your link is a much better start.

I suspect it's what you are characterizing as "counter-trolling*, but with intent to make a point: Pregnancy isn't something women do by themselves. There's going to be a man involved.

Historically, we have generally tried to hold both parties responsible. Women were expected to refuse to put out until marriage. If you got a girl "in trouble," shot gun weddings were a thing.

But men were generally expect to earn the primary income and women were expected to primarily care for the family and maybe supplement the income. With people generally having fewer kids on average and women more often expecting real careers with status, income and job satisfaction, things have gotten vastly more complicated and "you two need to just get hitched" is not sitting well with most folks.

(There's a lot I'm leaving out. This isn't intended to be comprehensive, just a thumbnail sketch.)

Stronger audit controls are the way to go for deterring this kind of abuse.

This is like the seeds of 3/4 of all the bad HN threads all in one blog post. We can relitigate the concept of psychiatry, debate the implications of big pharma, yell at each other about wokeness versus PC culture, pretend not to understand how trade shows work or, I don't know, find some way to argue about how they should be run... and who knows what else. And virtually none of the comments will be from people who have studied in psychiatry, are seriously engaged (pro- or con-) with pharma, or have ever run a trade show.

If it survives on the front page, we should make a bingo card for the thread; for instance, I should score a point the first time an HN user psychoanalyzes another user over the Internet on it.

I'm not saying the post is bad (I'm not a fan of this blog, but whatever; I'm a fan of lots of things you probably hate, too). But there's a difference between a bad blog post and a bad HN submission and this, to me, seems like an archetypical example of that.

Assange is not some sort of objective actor in this saga, he clearly had a partisan motive in the 2016 election that aligned nicely with the Russian spy agencies and has been paid by the Russian government via RT in the past.
