Because of the associations to pre-existing intense controversy. Those act like magnets pulling discussion in their direction, away from the topic at hand.

On HN, we're trying to open up a space to discuss new things, unexpected things, curious things. Those exert a weaker force on attention than the sensationalized hot topics that already exist in people's minds. When comments hop from a new topic to an intense pre-existing topic, that creates a path to flamewar hell. It's moderation's job to restrain and undo that, so that the more curious, weaker topic can get attention again. Does that answer your question?

Mindfulness is the only thing that matters. The rest comes after that concentration, conduct and moral monastic rules.
Honestly, I have no idea.

Lots of people have gotten very used to taking Uber/Lyft places. Once the prices go up, will that behavior change? The original iPhone sold at 500 to 1500 for the XSMax 512 GB. Obviously it isn't an apples to apples comparison, but I think the crux of the strategy depends on how inelastic ridesharing is.
That and any upstart will have a tough time getting enough Pool-type fares to keep everyone happy.
In the ultimate 'fuck you' to customers, you will get cheaper rides on Uber under Android if you have the Lyft app installed...
I'd normally agree, but here the overall look and feel is meant to be that of a read-only list. Note-level menus aren't something that gets used to often, at least in my case, and having them visible at all times just makes the whole thing look like a field of hamburgers.
I am at a high-dpi screen myself, but I'll have a look at switching to rem.
Don't forget about its twin gx. For example on MacOS gx uses the open command to open a file in the default application. Really helpful when you want to open up a website quickly in your browser or you have the url to an image in a markdown file and want to see it.

>If I like my blanket-tea-kindle-bed ritual, it's because I like my blanket-tea-kindle-bed ritual.

But why stop there? What you are saying now feels (to me) much like circular reasoning: I like X because I like X. But why do you like X? I also like to lie in my blanket and read with a cup of tea because: it is comfortable, it is safe, it is stimulating for the mind ... so I urge you to think why do you like your ritual

files can be modified by any text editor in /etc it sounds like you are advocating for a system similar to the windows registry. it can easily corrupt and can’t be fixed by live cds or other operating systems that have the filesystem driver. it would be a massive step backwards.
There's a pretty big difference between the statements:

"We are likely to have life extending and resuscitation technologies in 500 years that are better than what we have today."

and

"The dead rich people in these particular vats of antifreeze have any more than a snowball's chance in hell at being successfully resuscitated."

I think the parent's analysis is correct. Your statements, while also correct, don't really refute the issues pointed out by the parent.
Yes, among other things. This is 100% desktop-oriented app.
I an honestly _shocked_ that Go wasn't already doing this themselves and thereby doesn't already have well-worn implementations of this for every platform (particularly as the getcontext API has been on Apple's chopping block for a long time and might already not work for 64-bit ARM).
It probably depends. I would think that an alien can be deported arbitrarily regardless of anything (having no absolute right to be in the country to begin with, can be rejected arbitrarily at passport control etc.), but usually in a court of law you can't be penalized for "being" something, only for doing or having done something.
This.

If there's a large enough public interest, then information about a person can be published.

And no, I can't just create a wikipedia page for my neighbor and post their phone number there, that'd be illegal and would get me into serious trouble.
I know it will be painful, but it’s going to get more and more painful when it does crash if we keep pumping more cheap credit into the system.
What is really interesting is that at depths below 65m the real danger isn't running out of air, but that air itself becomes toxic due to the higher partial pressure of oxygen and it's effect on the nervous system.

Tech and commercial divers breathe exotic air mixtures which are hypoxic and include helium to mitigate this.

Dive science is pretty fascinating and is still a developing field.
Which is true. But when I discovered reddit about 7 years back it was nothing like this. Now the website leaves me feeling absolutely crap, angry and frustrated. Plus, it is addictive.
It's not about silencing wrongthing so much as allowing other topics not to get drowned out by the ragey usual. Snail farming in Ghana is surely not as important as murder in South Africa, but what attracts curiosity more? That's the core question here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

In the unlikely event that Congress or the Whitehouse take an interest in HN moderation, I'll be happy to share with them how we approach this.
I think you're overestimating the difficulty of plex.
There's no real maintenance, you don't have to be very technical to download a file(it's two clicks), and if they don't know the difference between 1080p and 720p they don't care, they've waited for downloads before, and hard drives are so large now you rarely have to clear out them out.

My wife uses plex without any problem and she can't stand technology. But besides an issue which comes up every couple of years it's as simple as click and play.

And you're 100% right most people would rather pay someone to take that off their hands. But if things get to the point where you need 15 $10/month subscriptions and can only buy certain shows from one of the 15 mobile apps which have varying levels of compatibility with casters, more people will start looking at other options.

You _can_ hammer a nail in using a power drill.

But that doesn't mean there aren't better tools for hammering nails with, or jobs that a power drill does way better than hammering nails.

(I'm not _really_ convinced that pop psychology explanations involving our brains being optimised for not-getting-eaten-by-lions are necessarily correct, but I certainly acknowledge that some of our physiology like our vision system and muscle makeup have evolved under different conditions to sitting in a university with instructions to "Write down the problem. Think really hard. Write down the answer.", as Feynman characterised the process of discovering modern physics...)
I don't think the comment you replied to was referring to checking a "current" password.

It's about checking a "new" password when an account is created, or the password changed.

Having said that - I don't see any issue with checking current passwords when the user logs in - you don't send the password to the remote service, so it can't leak that way.
This is enormously helpful, thank you!
Because on iOS they can't detect apps, as far as I know.
You twisted "I want to have options if this turn bad and want to be on equal footing" to "plan to run away at first small conflict". Nice try to make it personal and recommend me to not have kids. So yes, I need the eject button in case I would marry someone like you and found out only too late. Of course it is good for you when partner does not have option to leave, because then you can respond to conflict the way you responded here and she can only shut up and take insult. Over time, it will affect her in negative way.

It just so happens that kids whose parents stay in bad relationship, whether verbally abusive or violent are not better off. It just so happen that these are more likely to appear when women dont have jobs.

Also, men dies and it is good to have the options in that case. Responsible people do not put themselves into massively vulnerable situation.

Lastly, it was you who tried to make it about women first by "in dual income men often don't pull their weight and therefore in marriage with such men it is better for her to have no income". I guess that assumption is that men who don't listen to her concerns when on dual income will somehow listen to them better in single income situation.

Do you consider libraries to be facilitating piracy? If not, how do Causality1's examples differ?
Defs, I used to use Uber until it become cheaper to drive and pay for carpark, and mind you, parking in Australia is extortionist.
The biggest problem is that, despite the many different solutions, no build system has come out as a clear winner for C/C++. So every library out there uses a different build system, and to use them all in your app, you must degenerate to makefiles in order to be able to call all the different build tools you need for each library.

Every now and then, a new god build system comes out (one builder to rule them all), which only exacerbates the problem.

Until the C++ language leaders bless a particular builder, this will continue.
SGML has been around since the 1960s, and XML is specified as a proper subset of it. SGML/XML isn't so much about (trivial) nesting than it is about content models, eg. the language defined by a regular expression admitted/recognized as the content of a particular element. Markup is also first and foremost a plain text format, optionally tagged by start-/end-element tags, unlike sexprs which need quotes around individual spans of text. Try telling an author to use verbose quoting (and escaping for quotes) for what makes the majority of his text format, or try edititing a large text with verbose sexpr yourself, and you'll see why nobody uses sexprs for semistructured text.
> hn also seems to be more accepting of opinions which people disagree with.

More than reddit. But HN is much more homogeneous than reddit is. There’s plenty of perspectives that generally aren’t welcome for discussion here. HN also makes an effort to moderate against political flaming. You could argue that the moderation isn’t entirely unbiased, but it does keep the comment threads more civilized.
In the end you will have a service costing the same as a regular Taxi but without all the benefits of them being licensed. Taxi licensing may be screwed up and unfair in the US but in many parts of the world it works well.
To be precise, warming makes the oil exponentially less viscous, so it can be a really pronounced effect by warming it 30 degrees (depending on the specific oil).
Not necessarily, you can have the user input the old password when setting up the new one, check it against the old hash and if it matches, do whatever comparisons you need between old and new.

uh... you do realize there's a legal difference between telling something to a friend and publishing it to the web, right? They're two completely different things.

> I'm pretty sure even in Europe things aren't as bad as this.

I get your point, but from my (European) perspective, it's the rest of the world where things are bad. I personally do quite enjoy the fact that, in theory at least, everyone is not allowed to simply publish my personal information as they see fit.

But how did they know? They should just have the hash...
It's such a cool idea. If you can reset your password using only your email, there's no security reason you can't just log in with it. It might even be better, since you can then add more annoying steps to the password reset strategy.

Less expensive does not mean those other competitors are making money. For example, Grab is burning through billions of investors cash, just like Uber [1].

Uber has motorbikes in other countries. It had a huge presence in Vietnam, until Grab took over their un-profitable business. It is just that it isn't popular in the US to take a ride from someone on a motorbike.

The last time I had this feeling was when shorting groupon. The emperor has no clothes, I can't see how UBER ends up being materially different from a donut.
Other things are also comfortable and stimulating in equal measure. I don't want to do them.

Thesr reasons are adhoc and we delude ourselves with them. Like we do this advanced calculations, is A more comfortable than B if I do X.. nope. Like the poster above said, you just like it because you like it.

Painful for reductionists, but every animal will know what you mean. So there's that, Mr. Dolittle.
You may like ritual-X-ostensibly-to-facilitate-end-Y now, but surely when you first started following ritual X it was to achieve end Y, and not just to have a ritual you would eventually come to like for its own sake.
Nice post and sounds like a screenplay of Slumdog Millionaire.
...and basically nobody has submitted anything, right? If you disagree with RMS about anything are you listened to or does RMS bully you out of the FSF?

It's not a conspiracy it's an observation. Who other than RMS influences FSF policy? Anyone? When they disagree with RMS. The FSF is RMS. But thanks for the "you're a conspiracy theorist" trope. Much appreciated. Sure doesn't make me feel bullied at all...
hmmm good way to get users to become heated with your customer support. i've implemented this feature and had the CEO of the company come down 15 floors and tell me personally to revert the change for him coz it was getting confusing for him to remember passwords. Everyone else in the company also demanded it once wind of this request spread...

This was the middle east, and yes they refused to use password manager programs because they didn't understand them
> Modern medicine in a lot of cases is as modern as when the doctor went to school and stops evolving once school finishes.

I just wanted to point out that while I can empathize with this sentiment, in the United States at least, physicians must undergo yearly retrainings to earn continuing education credits (for medicine) and there is a certain number of credits that must be acquired on a yearly basis.

When you write your reply on parchment with elderberry ink, seal it with wax, and have it delivered by pony express we can have a discussion on the limitations you are proposing on the first amendment with your long debunked argument.

Also there were repeating rifles, cartridge based rifles, and citizens owned artillery pieces and war ships in the era in which the Constitution was written.

You should read Heller - Justice Scalia wrote a great deal about your argument and why it is absurd.
Huh?

If you don't want a visa, why do you care about this?
Yeah, HN is definitely a lot more homogeneous. Even CS centered subreddits have somewhat toxic cultures because of what anonymity sustains. I think HN has a lot fewer visitors than Reddit but has a lot more conscious, thoughtful, experienced, and extremely intelligent minds to think and discuss about topics in the tech field.
Cost was not the only driver for the push towards Uber. The fact that the licensing scheme was ineffective at providing a safe, positive experience in almost every market I visited was the major driver.

If I'm paying the same as a cab it doesn't matter, as long as the driver is accountable for their behaviour, state of their vehicle and driving it is and always will be a superior experience to traditional cabs.

I also find it doubtful that the Uber experience will ever cost as much, unless they completely kill off all competition (not going to happen). They have no moat - the network effect does not enable them to have a true monopoly, or even duopoly because the concept is simple enough to implement with an app and a team.
The BLS reports an annual expenditure of $7,729/year per "consumer unit", and an average of 2.5 persons per consumer unit, so about $3,100/person/year in 2017. That number is probably a few years old.

I do wonder if this accounts for SNAP and other food expenses not directly paid with cash income.

If they implemented it properly they could have checked the current password against the revised guidelines on the next login. No need to store it in plain text
You might have a mistaken idea of how much we're able to process here. HN gets many more comments and submissions than we're able to look at. Moderation amounts to spot checking.
Main article aside, I have to take the article to task for the section where they talk about an airplane and the oxygen masks that deploy when the aircraft depressurises and the passengers find it "hard to breathe".

Having gone through a depressurisation chamber as part of my flight training, at 35,000 feet (the normal cruising altitude for most passenger aircraft), it isn't actually hard to breathe. In fact, it feels quite normal. Your body just doesn't get enough oxygen into the bloodstream because the density of O2 in the stuff you are breathing in is so low, which causes onset of hypoxia.

The very reason why we do the sessions in the chamber - so that we can detect the symptoms of hypoxia particular to our own bodies, because there is normally no way to tell that you are no longer in an O2 rich atmosphere until you notice your fingernails turning blue and flashes of lights on your retina as well as feeling slightly tipsy (my own symptoms).

At higher altitudes (50,000 feet and up), then yes, there are issues because your diaphragm cannot create enough pressure differential against the outside air pressure to make you inhale and fill your lungs. My flight instructor was a test pilot in the 50's and 60's and he said when they were at that altitude, they were literally force fed liquid oxygen through their masks. They couldn't breathe it in, so they just had to open their mouths every few seconds and LOX would be shoved in (at freezing temperatures too, which used to dry out their nose, mouth and throats according to him).
They brought it upon themselves. Americans resist every attempt that I have seen to improve working conditions.

It was such a big issue for me that it motivated me to leave the SV tech community and the US altogether. I don't see myself ever living there again.

If Uber cost the same as a taxi, I would still use Uber. They're much quicker to show up, have an app (vs. calling a dispatch center and trying to explain where you are), and the quality has been much better than taxis in my experience.

Taxis have the "broken" card machines, the ads playing on the little screen, and the 30 minute wait for a ride if you're not in a high-density urban center.

Politics - Malaysia has a healthier democracy than the United States and is currently undergoing massive anti corruption reforms.

Which is great, but it wasn't that long ago that the opposition leader was thrown into jail on trumped up sodomy charges.

Healthcare

The cost of care is lower but so is the quality was what I've had a few Malaysian friends tell me.

Personal Safety - I feel safer wandering around KL at night than I ever did LA or SF. On the island where I live I don't even have a lock on my door.

Most places feel safer than San Francisco to me, that's not much of a challenge. The US State Dept listed a warning due to an increased risk of kidnapping, and they also list these gems:

- Taxi drivers in downtown Kuala Lumpur have perpetrated violent crimes against foreign tourists and local residents

- Criminals also target motorists stuck in traffic or stopped at a light with smash and grab robberies.

When I was planning a trip to Penang and KL a few years back the advice given was to have my friend pick me up instead of taking a taxi -- due to her concerns for my safety.

Malaysia is a very mixed society that has learned to respect all races and religions

Well that's patently false. How many non-Muslim Malays do you know? Hint: none because syariah law prevents them from leaving Islam and the so-called secular law cowtows to Islam. How about race based university admissions (and a variety of other codified race based privileges)?

To add more information to the article. I have been slowly trying to build up a hydroponics shaded structure. I have to finance this myself so this will take a few years. There a few reasons I am doing this. I want an alternative to an office job. Sometimes just sitting in front of a computer drains the soul. I don't trust the financial systems in my home country and have my doubts if my pension will support me later in life. I do think there is a profit to be made. A fare amount of food is imported.

The weird thing is that small scale farming will only be viable as long as Africa is not attractive to big farmers. The moment big farmers can get going I think it will be the end of small scale farming.
I won't, since I can already use Bolt, Kapten or Cabify. The idea that Uber will somehow manage to keep people from building an app and competing is silly. There's almost no barrier of entry.

Couldn’t this be caused by people’s waning desire to buy the next big thing and keeping their devices longer? Rushing for the latest and greatest phone doesn’t feel as exciting as it used to. Laptops and TVs last half a decade or more now too.
