You're kidding, right? Here's a sample back from Nov-13 when India launched the Mars orbiter:

This is The Guardian saying: "Such expenditure is, however, controversial, with some questioning whether India, where more than 40% of children are malnourished and half the population have no toilets, can afford the mission."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/04/india-mars-pro...

Here's the Financial Times saying "India’s Mars ‘fantasy’ defies earthly woes":

https://www.ft.com/content/235c487a-dd52-11e1-8fdc-00144feab...

Here's another from a publication I hadn't really heard of:

https://guardianlv.com/2013/11/india-mars-mission-to-launch-...

Here's The Economist hiding it under a thin veneer of appearing to justify the expenditure: "Some launches may be mere vanity projects, but satellites can have real benefits too"

I guess I’m a contrarian, I think “all websites work perfectly” when they are allowed to be web sites instead of “apps”.

“Heavy amounts of testing” comes from trying to use the web as a combination of magazine publishing design style and Flash animation interactivity. If you used hypertext with semantic markup, you’d work in anything including Lynx in a terminal and text readers for the blind. Add a minimalist CSS such as https://milligram.io/, change font, spacing, colors of elements, and be done with it.

If you use the web just a piece of paper to convey information, think Economist or The Atlantic instead of Cosmo or Us magazine, it all pretty much “just works”.

By contrast, if you use the web as a SPA (single page app) engine, you’re gonna have a bad time. For that, test in Safari for iOS, Chrome on Android, so you work in their native embedded engine. Given they’re both originally WebKit / KHTML, you’re not too far apart.

This approach downscopes your test footprint dramatically. You’re still worried about “duplicates code into different paradigms” but (a) you should have different paradigms for Android and iOS, they have a very different user expected feel, and (b) its really only the 2 paradigms with 2 modalities each: iOS/Android, phone/tablet.

Recognize this is a contrarian view when these days it’s popular to try to shoot for a single experience on every form factor, and easy to forget most content on the web is still not in app form, it’s just stuff to read. HTML 3.2 / 4 with CSS wasn’t a terrible place to live.

Fun fact: “Internet Explorer 5.0 for the Macintosh (really!), shipped in March 2000, was the first browser to have full (better than 99 percent) CSS 1 support, surpassing Opera, which had been the leader since its introduction of CSS support fifteen months earlier.”
Good points above about lack of reliability and wasteful spending. I also agree with this comment, although it’s incredibly expensive (imagine what the Valley could do with $1.5 trillion) the data is hard to put a price on and keeps us out in front of potential future enemies.
That's not a fair comparison, unless the restaurant also brews its own beer.

A better drinks comparison would be choosing from the menu between a 'Jose Cuervo Authentic Margarita' and a margarita mixed fresh by the bartender.

I agree with the OP - in a restaurant I would always order a made-from-scratch dish (the house margarita) than a factory-made burger (the premixed margarita).
I used Java as my primary language for about a decade and, to borrow your analogy, experienced a shoe that had quite a few pebbles in it from the outset.

What happened over time was that we developed a way of using Java that was less painful. And it turned out that the bones of Java are actually quite good. If you strip away a lot of the cruft people glom onto their code in the belief that it saves them time, adopt sensible ideas from how other languages want you to think, and keep things very minimal and consistent, Java can actually be quite pleasant.

But this requires you to have someone in your company that can teach people. Often peope with many years of experience who will initially insist on not changing their ways.

(The main reason I don't like Java isn't down to the language itself. It is because I don't trust Oracle. It took me nearly a decade to ditch Java as my primary language, but Go provided me with a viable option. Sure, it'll take some time still to reach the level I was at in Java, but after about 3 years, things still look good)

I explicitly block all scripting on Medium websites with uMatrix, and it makes it quite reasonable. If you allow first-party scripts only (uMatrix’s default), all the images break and you get some of the annoyances added.

My comment wasn’t clear - tehjoker stated that the US had never let in a lot of persecuted people. The early European colonisers included a lot of small groups fleeing persecution.
As you mention, formerly persecuted groups don’t seem to behave better when they get power.
True, but aids are used to project soft power and also to get lucrative defense deals with India and which USA did get billions so that tone really is unwarranted

Due to the extreme address shortage in v4, of course it's typical to be putting your internal hosts on a private IP range. But "putting your internal hosts on a private IP range" isn't NAT.

And in fact, putting your internal hosts on a private IP range doesn't prevent inbound connections either. It'll limit the set of people that can do them, but anybody on your immediate upstream connection can do it just by sending packets to your router. That probably means at least your ISP and anybody who can order them to cooperate.

NAT isn't a security boundary.

(And if you replace your routing rules with NAT then everything will break, because the only thing NAT does is rewrite addresses in packets. They still need to go through the routing table to be routed.)

I'm sure Norway and the US are friendly and exchange lots of information within NATO, but if Norway wants to tell the US how their F-35 moves between various caves for service I'm sure they want to do so in a high level intelligence exchange type of way, and not because some Lockheed logistics system automatically phones home about Norwegain F-35 locations.

The main assignment blocks right now are some /12s. We can easily split off a /8 for every planet and moon, or whatever. Communication between stars won't work with IP, let's worry about that issue later.

Internet of things isn't an issue at all here. You can cram as many as you want into a single subnet. If you desperately need an enormous pile of subnets for IoT for some reason, it's straightforward to take a /64 and chop it into a billion subnets that hold a billion devices each.

I would say there's a huge target demographic that HN will never cover. HN is addressing a very narrow target. A very vocal and over-represented one, but very small in terms of absolute numbers. The IT sector is big and diverse and a single platform will never cover it.

If we think about the Italian case, this is doubly true because the whole sector in our country has a very different structure: the material conditions, the working culture, the power relationships between the programmers, the job market and the employers are completely different than in Germany or California and what is being discussed here, rarely apply to Italy. This clearly reflects also on the technical side: in a body-rental based IT sector like the one in Italy, good practices, innovation and the choice of tecnologies need to answer needs that are very different in a sector where you have mostly flexible startups or titanic companies with endless resources. That's why there's value in a dedicated community, because we can avoid the erasure of these economical, cultural and technical differences.

The crux for me was this paragraph:

“I have deep sympathy for the concern that genetic discoveries could be misused to justify racism,” he wrote. “But as a geneticist I also know that it is simply no longer possible to ignore average genetic differences among ‘races’.”

There really shouldn't be a debate that there are genetic differences amongst 'races'. It shouldn't be something that is "taboo" to discuss or talk about, since it is a factually correct statement to make.

Indeed. Some hospitals have really bad statistics on treatment-resistant infections. The reason? They are a better hospital, and they specialise in dealing with them, so when someone at another hospital is diagnosed with one, they get shipped there.
It stops people saving a master copy as .xcf, then saving as png to export, then hitting Ctrl-S and thinking they've saved their master copy when they haven't.

As such it is most definitely a positive change, even if it does go against my 'muscle' memory of how I used to work it, and cause me to 'doh' more often than I should.

The n900 was amazing. The hardware, the OS all really good. Nokia could have kept that going and won a huge market share. No login, no account, no tracking, no surveillance. Just your phone. But Microsoft execs ran then into the ground then sold the corpse to Microsoft. The non-surveillance, open phone was lost.
Sadly, most of the 'informed' comments here are anything but. 60% seem to just wanna trash on the military, 20% took a flight on a cessna once and think theyre pilots, 10% knew a guy in the 'defense industry' and 10% are bleating their political opinion, poorly dressed in technical garb. Take it all with a gargantuan pile of salt.
You would also need to update the compiler to use the MMU and backout instructions properly, and re-compile all the software to use it. It would also probably require some modifications to the OS and application code as well to get much advantage.
I've watched the former chief economist of Goldman Sachs argue with his right-hand man about whether the big drop in crude prices in 2014 was due to supply or demand. If they can't figure it out, what hope do the rest of us have?

In almost all cases, neither supply nor demand are observable. They change through time - but we don't have a good model for how they change. The curves are nonlinear, and there's feedback between changes in supply and changes in demand.

Finally, in macroeconomics, even the theory is incoherent. The Sonnenschein-Mantel-Debreu theorem says that the aggregate demand curve can take any shape - it need not be 'downward sloping'.

Generally, things that answer questions along the lines of:

* is my app running
* how long for?
* if there are associated jobs/worker processes, did they start/complete successfully and how long did they run for
* what’s the state of the pod(s) + host instanced my application is running on.
* are all the necessary sub components up and running and communicating properly (and are they staying up).

It’s not quite monitoring/logging, although they are related.

This poses another question thou: what about if the protests/movement is big enough to mean that the government is at fault, because the people, the real people in the streets wants something else? If you give that power to the government then you're cutting away a mean (coordinating protests at scale) to get rid of the Government if it's really needed.
Isn't the factually correct statement to make that there are genetic differences amongst 'people'?
If they did their jobs and understood the targets, they wouldn't need to fight back "in real time", they could actually address the source of the problem instead of hysterically fighting symptoms while causing immense collateral damage to free society, far worse than the actual terrorism.
This isn't part of mainstream scenarios, but there are credible studies projecting such a sealevel rise, see e.g this study: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/349/6244/aaa4019

Here's an article on it:

Some predictions are even more extreme:

It's probably not the most likely outcome, but it's also definitely not "fear mongering bs", it's part of what science is discussing as possibilities.

You are correct in your questions. It should be enough, and there should not be legal consequences.

The problem is that Israel is a very peculiar theocracy, and one kind of prejudiced against large segments of its population.

There are legal consequences of being "officially" Jewish in Israel (just like there were consequences of being officially Jewish in the USSR).

For one, "official" Jews are entitled to Israeli citizenship.

Then, the marriage in Israel is a can of worms of its own, as there is only religious marriage. See the article.

Your Jewishness (or lack thereof) dictates where you will be buried, too.

That should be enough to get you started.
I vouched for your comment even though I’m not sure if it was killed by downvotes or because your account is new. I think you have a reasonable comment; however, there’s a difference between security and reliability: end-to-end encrypted messages can be routed through a central location and still be “secure” in the face of a DDoS (but not able to function), and a federated service can be hopelessly insecure but still resilient to attacks like these. Telegram by default is not all that secure and centralized, and with their encrypted chats is hopefully at least secure (though I’m not sure if it is with regards to metadata).

It only makes sense if you support Authoritarian governments and oppose liberty for individuals

Granting the government unlimited authority then "blacklisting" only come things is a recipe for abuse, which is what we have today if you are a person that believes in individualist freedoms

it is a fundamental difference as to who is the master and who is the servant, you believe the people are subverted to the government. I believe like our founders that We the people are the masters, I believe in self-governance, I believe in Self Ownership, I believe in liberty. it is sad we as a society has lost respect for indivualism and liberty

i lived in eastern europe during my childhood.

most of the issues of Russia of today (and the rest of eastern europe/ussr) stem from communism and its planned economy. during the latter days of the soviets the amount of graft/corruption was incredible. the factories would churn out garbage 24/7. while regular folk had no heating and electricity. this led to even more corruption and an individualist mentality post-breakup.

the west might have contributed to this downfall, but 1. this downfall was completely normal and partly expected and 2. the main culprits can be found among the populations of russia and eastern europe.

I have built applications that uses couchbase both on server side and couchbase-lite on Android. Couchbase with the ability to sync between client and server replication is the best thing to happen and available free (community edition) today.

Unethical experiment #1 – super mice
I propose the following experiment:

A large enclosure, capable of housing at least perhaps a million fo mice or more, seeded with several hundred of various strains of mice.

The mice are taken care of normally, but their food is laced with increasingly higher concentrations of cadmium, so that it always causes significant, but not total mortality. (or perhaps just enough to sufficiently reduce the capacity to breed)

Prediction: the mice evolve resistance and better general health and we end up with extremely healthy and long lived super-mice.
Neat. I wonder how far we will take browsing source code on the web?
