It's very well known how civilization began.

You cannot find a single example of what you deem "free association" that is not currently defended directly or indirectly by an army.

The irony of your statement is that while you called me ignorant you said the exact same thing as I said in your first paragraph.

Then you try to back pedal to make a "point" in the last one by giving zero examples of your "larger number of humans throughout history (and including today) that have lived in freely associating relationships.

And next time refrain from calling other people who disagree with whatever ideology you believe in as "ignorant", it qualifies you as a troll.
I recall an author flooding the relevant network (Bittorent) with an incomplete "pirate" version of her own book.

Dealing with Ambiguous “AI” Labels on Software
On the maps app, when on the route planning screen ("from" and "to" with the map showing candidate routes), right of the "from" box there's one of those triple-dot menu buttons. "Route Options" modal lets you check "Avoid toll roads". On web maps, there's also an "OPTIONS" link that expands to show the same stuff.

It has some useful features that can go completely undiscovered because they're hidden in screens you wouldn't go on if you're sitting in your car getting ready to drive.

Waze has the same options and in my opinion are better presented, since it's much more tailored towards driving navigation.

Also, reading this HN thread, I'm glad I'm on a small island with exceedingly well-documented road systems (UK). I think you'd have to be in the northernmost parts of Scotland to really have an issue with dumb route planning here.
Had a fun experience when exploring the island of Gran Canaria, where maps wanted us to drive our small rear-wheel-drive rental car down what felt like a 60 degree hill, what was essentially a riverbed with tree roots sticking out of it. Some people on quad bikes had to wait for us to crawl down it with foot constantly on the brakes. Maps had marked it as not even a trail or a small road or whatever but a bonafide 2-lane road!
And that quote really says it. Revolting against an oppressive regime on your own is usually your death sentence. Why bother with endless prison and/or death when you can just pack your stuff and move somewhere else and be happy? On a macro level, revolting might be the correct thing to do. But on the micro level, simply leaving is the rational decision.
When you have a genius-prodigy guy like this being 'examined' -- the professors ask him questions, some (many?) he doesn't know the answer to, or perhaps an incomplete answer to, while they (presumably) do know. Is this because they're equally genius as him? or are 'merely' much-better read than him, although maybe not as gifted in whatever other magical ways he is?

Well sure American and other companies have tried to gain market share in China, but China has effectively stifled a lot of foreign competitors from entering. So it's not very symmetric free trade with China, therefore giving some justification for this silly trade war.

It's understandable though from China's perspective, that they aren't willing to give up important strategic sectors like social media or internet search to some US corporation. Especially so with their intention of being a rivaling global superpower to US one day. But it seems the economical aspect of increasing the revenues of Chinese companies has been as important or even more, which makes this practise more or less just cheating. Not that others are playing always fair, but China seems to be doing it considerably more than the others.

Just as an anecdote, AWS offers its Chinese region as a separately owned Chinese company, completely separate from other AWS regions. To me it speaks volumes how restrictive and hostile the Chinese market is to foreign companies, can you imagine having to do the same for each country? It would be a nightmare for global economy. https://techcrunch.com/2017/11/13/aws-exits-china/
This get me thinking: are Multinational Companies actually multinational? If their HQ is in one place and they have to operate globally either under jurisdiction or under board pressures of that place, isn't it super dangerous for the people that buy into their "multinational" narrative and place their trust under the assumptions that infrastructure would only seldomly be biased?

EDIT: "seldomly" should be "to a less extent"

The Macbook has flaws, but it's construction is not one of them. The metal body alone puts it leagues ahead of the majority of the PC laptop market, which is cheap plastic crap, all the way through.

Is aluminum the most heat efficient material? No. Is it better than plastic? Holy shit yes, in appearance, in heat dissipation, strength, feel, and durability it's head and shoulders above plastic.

I can't stand working on our fleet PCs anymore at work. Every time you move them, they creak, and squeak, and shift. $6,000 PC's that sound and feel like cheap ass Walmart guff.

At least my $4,200 Macbook Pro FEELS like it's worth that money.
>They have to install a litany of extra software to diagnose and troubleshoot bugs, rather than expose system metrics and tightly control the app environment and its operation.

There's a lot of things that require more than easily exported system metrics and logs to troubleshoot.

While I've played around with using PCP's perf plugin to try and remotely do things with perf, generate flamegraphs, etc., it doesn't work nearly as well as just SSH'ing into the thing and running perf directly, especially if the perf data file is going to be large. I don't see how you could do serious performance engineering work without SSH access.

But, I think I'm nitpicking here, because I generally agree that there should be very little to no reason to login to servers via SSH day to day.
We have a business account - there is no ability to add USD account without having to go through support who require bank statements unfortunately.
While the document clearly states they received information they didn't request it also states they used said information. While it may be added time and labor NSA should be validating the information as a check and balance as this is a unique position for the carrier to be in. NSA trusts whatever they give them. Or... NSA has influence over individual(s) with carrier X to, whoops, accidentally send you everything. To be clear I'm not saying that is what happened, but it's a broken process on both sides of the coin.

The document also states they acknowledged that they have ingested data they shouldn't and don't have a timeline on when, if ever, they'll purge it. Apparently the purge process has begun, but the not having a timeline to remove seems to read "best effort, if we don't get it all oh well". The real response should be: we received tainted data and are required to remove it all for that timeframe and rerequest all of it within N days. If you're Equifax and accidentally send out everyone's SSN to someone requesting their credit history you don't just use an excuse that you don't know how to remove it. You're obliged to remove it all. There doesn't seem to be a process in place for this. Convenient oversight.

I really really really try to not need serial console access to my machines. I try to only rarely need SSH access.

But when you've got some sort of bug or issue that you're not getting any metrics out of, no logs recorded, no kernel crash dump, nothing sent over netconsole, nothing showing up on the instance console screenshot... Sometimes serial console is what you need.

But, for the borked networking case, I'd recommend not modifying your networking on live instances. Make your changes on a test instance, figure out what works, and add it to your configuration management ;)

> We're certainly aware of how significant ad blocking extensions are. This release required a great quantity of features with only a six month timeline until now.

It is always soft of amusing to watch companies make all kinds of unforced errors with their products because the managers feel that they know much better than the users of the product what should be important to users. They fail all the time just to have someone else come in and say "Oh, those people, they were just holding the instructions wrong" and go repeating the same mistake.

So far in this ( software + hardware space ) there has been exactly one company that nailed it. The company is called Apple and the product is called iPhone. Since that point on Apple has not introduced anything that was not a direct play on "Our users want X, we are going to give them X, maybe with a bit of a twist"

The users are telling you that the USP of Firefox is ad blocking. If your PM says it is something else, you should replace the PM. That should be your singular focus. Everything else is secondary.

I always have wondered how people calculate pollution from countries. I mean, that must be from data gathered from the government?

For countries/governments that doesn't even have or have a very limited garbage disposal, that must mean they pollute very little on paper when in reality people just throw stuff into the ground / ocean etc.

I don't really believe this article. It seems like a typical clickbait shit article actually. Pollution is not only how much CO2 you release into the air, just look at some rivers in India which are incredibly polluted or countries in Africa where people simply burn metal in hunt for rare metals which they can sell. That pollution is probably not included in this statistic which makes me call bullshit on this claim.

Domestic steel and coal production, which is why Trump is uniquely popular in the rural areas surrounding Pittsburgh.
It promotes certain developer-friendly ideals such as going into the module directly within node_modules or using npm explore. I think this is the wrong priority.
This kind of research is well documented to be funded by foreign governments. The US Military night very well pollute an extraordinary amount, but such funding will mean we never get the emissions down in other countries and this has to be a global effort.

The House Committee on Natural Resources has already sent several letters [1] to groups like the National Resource Defense Council asking why they have whitepapers on their website significantly praising the Chinese fishing industry, probably the most exploitative fishing operation in the world right now. Also what I thought was interesting was that the NRDF has never filed a single complaint with the Chinese Navy for use of their sonar around whales while filing hundreds against the US Navy.

To be fair though, if I was a foreign government I would be doing this for sure to the US (also I’d push any general policy I thought might be a poor choice
long term). Of course the United States almost certainly engages in this behavior too, but we have to acknowledge what is going on here.

That's just reaction to stupid US FATCA laws pushed by US down the throat all countries out there.

R, SAS, Octave, Mathematica, MATLAB, Excel (lol), FORTRAN and many more come to mind. Julia seems more like flavor of the month.

> there are "measures in place" to ensure users have access to DRM'd games when steam dies

What about when Steam gets gobbled up by $other_industry_giant?
20 years ago that would have been absolutely 100% true. The damage may already have been done, however. The IP has already been given away, so China doesn't much need us, but so has the manufacturing, so we need them. I hope that's not the case, but... we'll see.

I do remember how economists were lining up to shout their party line, that protectionism doesn't work and China was only hurting themselves. For some reason I don't hear so much of that these days, now that China's investments into local companies have started paying off.
Any country that is dealing with China today should think twice. A dictatorship (till death do us part) with brains - capitalism - faster than the capitalists. China wants to grow, at everyone else's expense. Walking shoulder to shoulder with every terrorist nation on the planet (You know a person from the friends they keep). Suppression (Tibet, Hongkong, Taiwan). I think its time the world woke up? I am glad the Trump team is listening.
the iSeries or just mainframes in general?

Certainly not the i. There is so much documentation that it might be more of an issue of it being overwhelming. there are multiple active communities sharing code.

this is a system which is based on DB2 meaning SQL in native, development tools are varied, from COBOL, RPGLE, JAVA, and more. You can web face nearly any existing process, node.js work is one area we have lots of current work. no down time for reorganizing files, indexes always maintained, and tools open to all on the platform to optimize sql statements. I have developers using all this and more. most use an eclipse based platform (RDi for Cobol/RPGLE) or eclipse itself to work.

admin wise it is a breeze, no need to hunt down a tcp/ip stack, db tools, schedulers, or such. its all built in.

Legacy systems are only limited by the imagination of those using them. the reason the systems persist and grow is because they are not frozen in time and their architecture readily adapts to new technology because they were designed to not be locked down with an inflexible design.

> To me it speaks volumes how restrictive and hostile the Chinese market is to foreign companies, can you imagine having to do the same for each country?

China is the most populated country on earth and an emerging superpower. They have every right to consider themselves exceptional, just the way the US considers itself exceptional.

To posit another angle: most international nations are smaller markets than the US (individually) so it doesn't make sense to customize things for every nation, which would be a goddamn nightmare. But this is a country of over 1.3 Billion people. China would need to be an exception anyway, and AWS having a subsidiary in China doesn't illustrate the unfairness of China's practices as much as the reality of how important that market really is.

Yes, PNAC's plan to dislodge the middle east was formed in the '90's. Their strategy and tactics included a series of kinetic wars that culminated with Syria, which they viewed as the most politically challenging situation. In contrast, Trump's strategy and tactics is based on economic force rather than kinetic wars. For economic force to work, the Iranian people must rise and act. Sanctions put the Iranian government into a weakened position and provide an opportunity for the people to act. The globalists don't believe in this strategy and will likely return to their strategy of kinetic war in the next administration if this doesn't work. The Iranian people are in a strong position to choose to act and prove the globalists wrong and kinetic wars are obsolete.
Show HN: Typescene, no-nonsense strongly typed JavaScript framework

I'm a software developer that has recently switched from Mac to Linux. Some colleagues have switched as well.

For me the primary reason was, that at the time of the switch the MBP was only available with 16GB RAM - just like the MBP I had purchased five years before. There was nothing "Pro" about that. That was last year.

Never regretted the switch. For work related stuff Linux is optimal. Docker for Mac alone is the pest.
Meanwhile companies are hijacking governments by pouring billions of dollars directly or indirectly in order to push policies that benefit their profit-driven agenda.

Big companies and governments go hand in hand, so the only way to enact some REAL change is to strike where the MONEY is and cut their economic power.

A vote becomes worthless in a society where lobbying is legalized and media channels have economic interests in play.
It's definitely different, but both formats can do basically the same things. Personally I think a .spec and a .srpm are more succinct.

Where they really differ is the ecosystem. Debian has better tools for managing packages, and their community actually builds them better. But I've also been through dependency hell with both; if you want a bleeding edge release, it's way easier to skip packaging and manually build+install updated software to a unique directory.
Dirty rivers suck, but humanity's big problem right now is global warming.
> the term "corporation" does not necessarily only mean large for profit joint stock corporations in the US

I like how you couldn't even attempt to define what I was talking about so you could condescend to me about not understanding it without basically restating the exact way I was using the word. Well done.

When people think "corporation" they think exactly that, large for profit stock corporations. Yes, credit unions are technically corporations. Hell, even LLC is a kind of corporation. You're arguing dictionary versus contextual usage, for reasons I can't quite put together.

And "typically demonized?" How much of modern colonialism and the exploitation of the developing world can be laid directly, unambiguously, at the feet of corporations?
This is exactly what I did. That stark blue TP7 editor is a thing of beauty.
If you're looking for some serious power, that system I described will still work. The Raspberry Pi is just there to control a relay to complete whatever circuit you're powering. You could get something like a Draper 56225, which manages ten's of litres of water a minute; something I've been considering getting for a hydroponic setup I'm looking to build. Then you can pick up something like an Energenie Raspberry Pi-mote, which is basically a mains power controller you can address with your Pi. Plug your pump into that, and then power the pump with the Pi whenever you want to water your plants!
RPN FTW. Good ol' LISP. :)

In Haskell, you can turn any function into an infix operator with backquotes. As a qualitative, nonfunctional stylistic, ergonomic opinion, I find Haskell much more flexible and beautiful than the ugliness of most brace-, paren- and prolixity-heavy languages. It can present too many features for pragmatic use, orthogonal to something in another domain like Rust or Go for effective software production where features are intentionally constrained or disallowed.
> My response? Go refactor your hideous code.

This is the worst possible argument against a language feature. Hideous code is exactly the kind of code that is most difficult to read, and so exactly the kind of code where you want the most help from your language.
"profits from semiconductor companies that came from lines released pre-2000 vs after"

If you look at industrial applications though. The machine you start designing today probably will use chips designed at least 5 years ago, if its another 5 years before your machine hits the market, that's 10 years before the end consumer even gets their hands on the product. Then you're going to be selling that machine for 10 years, and that machine is going to be running and getting maintained for what? 10 years minimum. But those pre 2000 aren't competitive from a performance pov. I had a Pentium 333 with 32mb of ram in 2000. That's basically microcontroller territory now, something equivalent should cost me pence to buy now, if I were doing it clean slate.

Regarding 'successful' investment. Perhaps? But then there's plenty of capital sloshing around at the moment, I would question why they haven't attracted investment in such a situation. To put it more directly, what do you know that people with billions to invest, and access the experts in the field don't?
