Being shouted at at work is in any way acceptable now?

I never have been and would be completely shocked if anyone did shout at me during my job, no matter what I did. That’s completely unacceptable.

secure system != security system

There is such a thing as an insecure security system.
Those are good examples - I'm trying to think about the current era though. Interesting that you bring up Hillary being mocked actually - perhaps it was a turning point in suddenly the Dems were more mockable, or at least mockery stuck to them.

With the republicans now, I think they've positioned themselves to be immune from mockery - they saw how effective Jon Stewart was during the Bush years, and the solution now seems to be to fill the air with as much as possible so that it all turns to static.

I remember when Trump got elected, the biggest question everyone had as a comedian was "how do you mock this person, he's already too ridiculous"? Ditto Boris Johnson happening now. Some are trying to start countering this from trying to draw a line by defining values (that they clearly don't seem to share) - the Pete Buttigieg strategy, the Joe Biden strategy. It just seems like a fascinating turn of events that suddenly mockery as a political tool can be nullified.

Nothing SNL has ever done on Trump has ever seemed to dent him. Sean Spicer though - that definitely got through. And now he's gone, replaced by Sarah Sanders who manages to soak up all sorts of sympathy despite lying all the time. I guess the other poster is right - the progressives really have become the social establishment, and that comes with a lot of really interesting concequences.
Haha, yes the 2008 is really bad. Looks ok from the outside, but that is about it.

The 3008 is not cheap, I think people buy it for the expressive style and the great comfort. So "resonate" is not meant as "resonate because of low price". Also, the new 508 and the upcoming 208 seem to be amazing cars. Give them a chance in a year :)
Well done. It seems your comment was quite positive. I've visited these communities and saw a lot of new members just joined, saying that they have found the community via an HN thread.
But how much meat comes from grazing? Factory farming livestock is a major consumer of monoculture crops.
On the contrary; drivers should try to get as much as possible ASAP while self-driving isn't here yet, because nothing will save them if and when it comes.

Oh wow, so it is always on... what would possess someone to think that was in any way a useful feature? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the volume defaults to 50%, which if the FM station is playing an advert with the gain maxed would be loud enough to be painful.
Nah, all the old services are still out there and still work. You can still use irc, you can still set up your own mail and web server. There are even new alternatives, from tor to other hidden/dark/free...nets.

But people are too lazy, and find the "just use the largest corporate platform" very convenient, especially if it's "free".

edit: ...which is a problems, since also your viewers only use that "one big" platform, and don't check elsewhere.
There's a station near me that just opened. Pay at pump, pumps only on one side. 'Surely' I thought, as I pulled up, 'the hoses will reach the other side'.

They didn't. So I got out to move my hatchback car closer and angled so they would reach. I unhooked the pump and put it in my car.

But first it asked me to pay my bill of £0.

It's not about the "CN" bit. People are talking about why the variable exists at all. Essentially the reason being ventured is that that relationship has a specific name and meaning in Chinese with no English equivalent beyond an exacting familial definition. Imagine trying to express "grandfather" in a language that doesn't have the concept. You might end up with "father's father."

> Your rights are natural and they exist apriori

“Voltaire said about God that ‘there is no God, but don’t tell that to my servant, lest he murder me at night’. Hammurabi would have said the same about his principle of hierarchy, and Thomas Jefferson about human rights. Homo sapiens has no natural rights, just as spiders, hyenas and chimpanzees have no natural rights. But don’t tell that to our servants, lest they murder us at night.”

Possibly because that only really works if you know the correct stress pattern of "Ramanujan". Americans, at least, are likely to want to stress it on the "nu".
No, the question you need to ask yourself is 'how small of a living can I stand?'. I make a living programming audio software that's GPL-compatible (I'm using MIT license on the grounds that nobody succeeds in the music business unless they allow themselves to be exploited). Stallman can use anything of mine, I just can't use the capital F free stuff GPL users create in exchange, but I get to feed 'em if anything I do is worth having.

I do make a living, it's just a very poor and insecure living. I sleep a lot easier, though, and it's very unmistakably a 'First World' living even if it's sort of constrained. How small a living can you stand? How rich do you have to be to have 'enough', and do your 'quality of life' calculations include personal guilt over screwing people over, or not doing that? Software freedom matters to my day-to-day life, but so does the fact that my income's low enough that I qualify for Section 8 housing. Without that, I'd lose some things making it possible to be writing the free software.

Can you afford to be on the side of good, or do you have to play for team evil in order to keep the doors open? If it's the latter, can you plan for a heel/face turn and execute a dramatic betrayal of Team Evil? I did (sort of). I was selling the audio software for years and merely keeping all my code proprietary (and getting sucked into the hype mechanic, more and more) and when I made my exit and went full Patreon I executed a clear, very public transition from commercial to open source, even reserving that as a threshold for the Patreon to hit. Took a major loss in revenue right away, but made that threshold pretty soon, and now I don't have to go back. But I wouldn't have been able to do it without years of exposure as a commercial developer.

Just like doing an IPO or executing an acquisition strategy, you can execute a heel/face turn into Free Software if you handle it properly. You need to care about the values of it, that's part of the return for you, but I'm still seeing annual returns in excess of, say, index funds. I'm growing at about 34% a year (started out more, but that's over the last year and ignores launch) and I feel I can continue to expand at that rate through taking on more interesting (and costly) projects. Note that this is not passive, this is working capital and is continually funding new stuff I'm able to take on. Hey, if it works for Amazon… ;)

Well, go on. Is there a horrible secret in Germany?

It seems unlikely that there would be. This is the 21st century. Governments can't even get their soldiers to keep war crimes secret anymore.

The odds that nobody would walk away from Omelas in 2019 is... slim.
Yes, this is a thing that I noticed, less bugs, less birds. In summer at 5am it used to be a real concert in my garden to the point that you got a natural alarm clock. Now? With my window open, there is quite quiet, an occasional bird song every 2-3 mins.

And yes, I live in Germany. It is alarming, and I fear the worst, a real threat to the ecology cycle.
My large, extended family, notes this every year when we go to our family reunions in Northern Ontario: each year, our cars have fewer bugs than the previous year.

We've had the family reunion the same July weekend for 45 years now and our cars and trucks used to be just plastered with insects. Now there may be none at all.
I find this rather sad, as good journalism is vital for a healthy, free democracy. And yet we don't seem to have a good way to pay for it. In a capitalist system, entertainment is more profitable than news.
> Edit to add: "People kill people so robots should be allowed to kill people too." is a rotten argument, eh?

No, that's not the argument.

The argument is – humans have killed other humans, so should we allow humans to still drive on the road? If yes, why? If not, why?

An unfounded objection, the market is the sum of the deeds of all market participants, dumb does not make sense here.

It does not regulate but only interferes, and should only supervise that the contracts be respected.

This analogy does not make sense.

Will bacteria be “programmable” in the same way that a computer is?

Hard to believe so maybe that’s not the right word for it.

If it will be then we will, in a way, be monkey patching natural selection’s code.

Testing would also be a pain!
I think that's the easy answer but I think it may not be the whole story. Fox news, conservative radio, etc have existed for a while. Bubbles have also always existed, and yes they've gotten bigger - but at the same time, there's been a big social shift that's happened at the same time this has been going on. The Obama era marked a change to progressives being the social establishment (not to be confused with economic establishment). Suddenly the previous mockers are now the cheerleaders, and corporate america dives right in with them on the equality/diversity train.

Then Trump comes in, and somehow wins with a secret weapon - if he acts like a crazy person all the time, the mocking will get so loud, AND be so ubiquitous it'll just turn to static in everyone's minds. Suddenly the biggest political weapon the left has to win over independents isn't very useful.

I'm not concerned with the "base" of both parties - Trump hasn't dropped below 40% in a while, partly out of polarization, but also partly that there is a base he has, and that base is opposition to the left, who soundly beat them from Clinton to Obama culturally. This might be why despite having the house, senate, and white house the republicans could keep telling themselves they were the underdogs - culturally they are, and continue to be. So there will still be independents who are on the side of fighting the "progressive hegemony", and they by default go to trump. Instead of the skater punk in high school cussing and spitting in front of the nuns, its the kid on the computer intentionally calling someone the wrong pronouns.

Majority of journalists write about things they have no idea about, and often don't care too. It's not about US reporters getting confused about India, it's the normal mode of media industry functioning.
Wave (YC 12) | HR Officer | Remote | Full-time | Apply here: https://grnh.se/55935b0f2

The problem: In 2017, nearly 60% of adults in sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. That's for good reason—the fees are too high, the closest branch can be miles away, and nobody takes cards.

How we're solving it: We're building financial services to work as they should: no account fees, instantly available and accepted everywhere. In fall 2017, we launched a mobile app in Senegal for cash deposit, withdrawal, and peer-to-peer and business payments; we're now processing over 200k payments every month.

In this role, you will be part of Wave's People Operations team and responsible for carrying out HR and administrative tasks needed to support the team.

Key details:
* Location: We are a remote company and you can be based anywhere between UTC -5 and +4 in Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, the UK or US.
* Compensation: $45,000-$65,000 USD (or local equivalent) per year depending on experience, plus equity.
* Travel requirement: You will be expected to spend one week in Africa for company retreats every two months.

Requirements: 3+ years of HR experience; native or fluent English; and local work authorization (wherever it is you'd like to be based).

> Well, as a German, it's just another instance of Americans who don't know 5% of what is going on here

Go on then, what exactly "is happening in Germany"?

I suppose this is where you reference the "immigrant hordes" and so on, and the need to "keep Germany for Germans"?

I am broadly familiar with German domestic politics. After all, they are EU politics, which are world politics. Germany is easily within the top 10 most influential countries on the world stage.

> Individuals decide things, "we as a society" is BS, it doesn't exist, though it rings familiar. Nazis "as a society" decided Jews and others don't "have value". You need to be more precise than that.

Oh, "we as individuals need to decide" on whether or not libel or aggression "have value" as constitutionally protected speech? Based on your argument upthread, I suppose you think it should be put up to a vote then?

Again: we can constitutionally decide that people shouldn't vote on whether "jews have value" but also constitutionally decide that Naziism has no value. Even America has decided, in principle, that certain kinds of speech are not protected.

You present a false dilemma here. Why do you think that is not a consistent argument?
Subreddits are weird. Because of how Reddit works, it's awful easy for the place to be governed by state actors and various coordinated brigades. So you can be there, sure, but if you're in the wrong place with information someone doesn't want seen, it won't do you a lot of good as you'll get the "oh look, 25 downvotes in a matter of seconds, someone's on point today" effect. It's REAL easy to police Reddit and enforce your agenda if you're organized and have teams of bots or sockpuppets.

Can someone explain to me why this is a bad thing? We used to go out of our way to kill insects in past decades, presumably because we'd prefer them dead. Now they are dying off and I'm not sure why I should be unhappy about this.

Hi! I'm the team lead for the team doing spatial support in MySQL. Thank you for trying the spatial features in MySQL! :-)

We do indeed have SRID support, but there are still some functions that only support Cartesian spatial reference systems. Is that what you're thinking about? I'm curious to know which functions you're trying to use that don't support your use case.

We are working to close these holes. In many cases it involves extending Boost Geometry (the library that we use) with more geographical computations, and that is hard and time consuming work. But we're doing it. The work we have to do to support it in MySQL once it's in Boost Geometry is pretty simple and straight forward.

Since extending Boost Geometry is such a time consuming task, people not working on those tasks have time to extend MySQL in other directions, maybe giving the impression that we're avoiding adding the missing parts. But it's just a result of some task being simple and fast to implement, while others (especially adding geography support) are more long running. In any case, the result is an uneven trickle of new functionality in more or less every new version of MySQL.

I hope that explains a bit what you're seeing. We are filling in the blanks, but it takes time to get to 100%.
This works in a non monopolized system. If you live in a large city with many different stores, and you get banned for one of them for wearing a blue shirt, that doesn't matter too much.

If you live in a remote city with one wallmart and no other stores, and wallmart bans you, that's a problem.

Yes, there are alternatives, but 97% of the market is definitely a monopoly.
A lot. Large parts of the world’s «farm area» is land used for grazing and may not be suitable for monoculture farming. I don’t know if this applies to the meat found in your particular neighbourhood, though.
Not to sound overly optimistic, but I can imagine that a trend like this is less difficult to reverse than, say, climate change.

The scientific consensus about climate change seems to be that even if we can muster the political courage and will and do our darndest, we may already have passed the tipping point and will boil anyway.

As to the insect apocalypse: given a fighting chance, life has a way of veering back. This is of course if viable numbers of populations survive and keystone populations have not been extinguished. (Maybe this is just a complicated way of stating that ecological systems work on other timescales than the climate.)
> "Plus free trade is about trade. Freedom of movement is about people. You can be in favour of free trade, and against freedom of movement"

Why ? Humans are a form of "good" so is capital and natural resources. You cant leave 1 out of 4 - the EU single market was created with this in mind. Some countries have excess capital, some have excess labour and some have excess natural resources.

Its awfully convenient for you to leave out the ONE thing that a country like India has a surplus in and leave in the thing India is deficit in.

> and we have a minimum wage so they wouldn't be competing on $2 a day anyway.

If you turn back the clock 400 years ago

- The Indian rupee used to be similar to the swizz franc.

- people around the world used to hold on to the rupee since it didn't suffer from rampant inflation which even many european currencies did.

- India was a major exporter of goods to SEAsia, Middle East, Europe and Africa, and imported very little.

- All of it changed when the Brits arrived.

Which comes back to my original point.

You turn forward the clock 100 years and its quite likely every Brit would be singing a different tune, high tariff on Indian semiconductor, Indian medical devices, .... . They already sing a very different tune compared to just 15 years ago with Brexit today. Where are your open markets now ?

Its awfully convenient to sit atop 400 years of plunder and loot and claim fair treatment and 'free market'.
No, you can relax. CNN is lying.

The cold kills way more people than the heat, so far, many many more people are alive due to the temperature increase.

As to wet-bulb temperature - Peer Reviewed article says 6 hours "probably" would be "intolerable"

"Like all living species, human survival is partially a function of the environmental temperature. 35 ◦C is the threshold value of TW beyond which any exposure for more than six hours would probably be intolerable even for the fittest of humans, resulting in hyperthermia.
