Yeah, there's no way I'm hiring a lawyer for this ($).

When we were starting the thing I was 19, kind of naive and inexperienced. Now that I'm 20 I've experienced a couple of other things along the road and it made me realize that I'm probably wasting my time here. Also, problems that seemed unlikely in the start arose so I believe this is the best decision right now
Since (commercial, music-based) radio in the US became dominated by a handful of companies running syndicated programs, I just found myself moving away from it in general.

Too little variety, no real local personality, basically none of the things radio was great at doing.

When I'm in the car now, it's all a mix of public radio/podcasts for news and discussion and Shoutcast-type streaming radio for music. I do sometimes pull up specific stuff from my personal uploaded music collection on Google Play Music or find something else I want to hear on YouTube, etc. but not often.

The funny thing is that I've found more streaming "radio" stations that do a better job of (the things I liked about) radio than actual radio stations do. It dropped off a lot since the '00s when the cost of legally running a station skyrocketed but it still beats the endless Clear Channel wasteland on the FM dial.

That's the point. Living a life of reactivity to every change it the zeitgeist precludes peace.
I don't get why people have abandoned email for Facebook. Is it because of Spam, or poorly managed inboxes? Everyone has email.
And do with the money what exactly? Teach what, exactly?

Students are taught the usual math, english, science, and history. If you want to teach critical thinking and analysis, you're going to need to either displace one of the subject matter or retrain how and what teachers teach.

There isn't enough hours in the day to squeeze in another subject in between high stake exam training and overloading students with homework.

Money doesn't seem to be the constraining factor here. Political reform are needed, and so is the support framework for training teachers to teach in yet "unproven" methodology.
> By asking people to have a voice instead of deciding for them??

The question posed was simply "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?"

No implementation details, no specifics, no timeline, and not binding. In the Swiss model, you'd have subsequent direct votes on specific plans once decided upon. (Citizens need only garner 50k signatures to force a vote for/against the specific law implementing a deal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optional_referendum)

Right now, they'd be voting on "given our inability to strike a deal, should we take a no-deal exit?", which I don't think anyone can really argue would get the same 52% the more general Brexit referendum did.
I'm not fluent at all. I had several long vacations there as a child, visit every now and then and have some exposure to news and culture. And I'm pretty good in getting a superficial understanding of a language, good enough to read or listen to news and understand the gist of it. I can handle several languages I have never formally studied.

You are aware that the money collected by the tariffs was extracted from American pockets, right, not Chinese? So you are describing a tax and transfer program: Americans who buy Chinese goods are taxed to compensate Americans who are losing income due to the trade war with China.

He has been accused, by several independent parties, of, among other things:

-Asking female coworkers to lay down topless on a mattress in his office.

-Threatening a colleague to kill himself if he/she didn't go on a date with him.

-Posting up signs in his workplace along the lines of "Knight for Justice (Also: Hot Ladies)".

Do you think that reprieving someone for threatening a colleague to kill yourself if they don't give in to your romantic/sexual advances is "throwing BS"? It's an honest question.
All over the Netherlands and Germany, and Austria, old churches are being converted into homeless shelters and co-working spaces .. and clubs.

I think this should be applied to the cloisters, too. I look at some of these 800 year old buildings and marvel at what they could provide, in terms of startup-hub scene.
Really? One trick I've seen that comes to mind is that the controlling shareholder sells the company to himself (really another operating entity) at a low-ball price. You'll get a little bit of cash but your 40% would be gone.
Not just the land but also Real Estate in big cities.

A lot of Real Estate deals happened with significant cash percentage so that people could cheat with Stamp duty and Registration. At the same time, this also inflated the prices , thereby making them unaffordable to a large section of society.
> Again.. we are running in circles, and this industry will never learn, because most “senior” people haven’t been around long enough.

As an aside, I have the privilege of working with a couple of senior folks right now in my current gig, and it's pretty fucking fantastic.

I'm not sure that's true. Both of my babies were grayish-red, and they often cry almost immediately after they come out. I remember a checklist where the doctor checked skin color and crying to gauge baby health.

Still, it sounds like you got a healthy, happy baby. Congrats :)
Certainly, but skepticism doesn't mean reporting "nothing is true". When the vast majority of medical sources claimed opioids were safe, most media understandably wanted to avoid looking as conspiracy theorists.
> I don't understand why you're being so pedantic about this. You absolutely know that people use the 'misdemeanor' phrasing to make it seem like crossing the border is as innocuous as jaywalking.

It's not pedantic, the distinction between a felony and a misdemeanor offense has very real consequences on how a case is processed. ICE ERO officers are dealing with a variety of cases, and the outcome of a specific enforcement action will depend on the severity of the offense.

One common situation is someone came to the country on a visa, and they remained in the country and continued working after the visa expired. This is not a felony, and the person is likely to be released while the legal process plays out. This person might obtain authorization to remain in the country and never be deported, for example by obtaining a different visa.

Another common situation is someone who overstayed their visa as above, but ERO officers also discover a large quantity of drugs and/or weapons in the vicinity. In this case, there is a strong reason to believe the person has committed a felony, and that person is very likely going to remain in custody while the legal process plays out. This person is also very likely to be deported, since a felony conviction would rule out pretty much all pathways to legal authorization to remain in the country.
Very true (and might I say, a rare sensible comment on this topic). The end result is very much a function of the starting point.

But I would say that Johnson is the only one who has actually recognised the difficulty. His starting point, unfortunately three years down the line and after the deal was voted down four times, is to say that this is really difficult and the priority is to do what is possible, not constantly try to rework the fundamentally impossible.

I think it is worth going over the history leading up to Cameron calling the referendum. As always, as with austerity, people read back from the present and assume that all the information was available then. Cameron was facing down a pretty significant rebellion (as it turned out people really didn't like the EU), and he thought he could appease this group with a deal from the EU. The mistake wasn't the referendum but his delusion that the EU would him something useful (this isn't to blame the EU, merely to observe that is was politically impossible for them to do so).
How do you define "Fake News" or political bias? How do you protect against malicious users who will flag anything they don't like as "politically biased"?
Cryptocurrency topics routinely get mocked, flagged or ignored here. Very rarely does one get serious attention.

"HN" is a diverse community that represents a distribution of points of view.

When controversial topics get flagged, it's often not because people disagree with the opinion expressed, but rather that people expect the discussion will be of low quality - i.e., a flamewar dominated by a small number of ideological zealots, in which the loudest participants just stick to their preconceived point of view, and nobody really learns anything new.

Wouldn't Patreon's success be a counterpoint ?

The vast majority of people don't pay, but there seem to be enough people paying that it at least balances the ad dependency of a number of creators. I might be biased, but most of the content I really didn't want to go away or bend backward to get sponsors seem to have successful followings (99pi, the whole radiotopia rooster, Hello Internet, CGP Grey, a few minor ones like rebuild.fm)

I think more and more the creative process could start by kickstarting the project and gauge how much of a public there is willing to pay for it, before going full steam ahead.
Comparing the BBC to RT demonstrates the complete emptiness of your claims. Certainly, publicly funded media sources can be expected to have inbuilt biases, but to pretend that institutions with editorial independence should be compared to actual propaganda outlets which have actively participated in centrally orchestrated and well documented disinformation campaigns is ridiculous.
The parallelism argument doesn’t pass muster because you can do the same thing with a cluster of free tier t2.micro machines with any good orchestration platform, not just lambda.

This argument is basically: no counterpoint to the original post, but you can do things that are also easy on any other comparable platform.

You are right, thanks for the correction.

NPR mostly has gotten is funding through payments by public radio stations, who mostly get their funding through pledge drives. There is a little funding that comes from the government.
I've recently been to Romania and rediscovered radio. I haven't listened in a decade due to ads, but seems like at least one station there manages to keep a good balance: https://www.dancefm.ro/ - their ads are relatively rare and not obnoxious (I guess not understanding the language helps).
No. But it works on all devices in your network (phone, computer, smart TV, WiFi connected dishwasher, etc.). I've never really understood how much tracking some apps on my phone did until I saw the graph showing lookups to Facebook's and Google's servers. In the middle of the night, a bunch of apps started trying to reach some tracking domain, something I would never have noticed if it wasn't for the graphing feature.

One way I've noticed the difference with and without pihole is that most apps on my phone become ad free when I connect to my home network. On most phones ad blockers exist, but those are just another layer of software that needs to be woken when the phone wakes from deep sleep.

I use pihole + uBlock in Firefox with tracking protection (on both mobile and PC) for my browsing, but Pihole saves me the effort of finding a reliable Android system ad blocker that's reasonably power efficient. I'm considering also using it on my laptop as a VM to get the same features on the go.

They meant "thinks-they're-technical", which might clear things up.

Putting dashes between a bunch of words isn't really a correct way to do this, but it's a way to smash a bunch of words together and pretend it's one word. In this case an adjective describing the users.
Then it is not holiday. A holiday is defined as "to do something else than you normally do". This is also the reason why you cannot be at home during a holiday. You need, by definition, to go somewhere else otherwise you will not break any of your patterns and routines but continue to do what you always do, and then it is not a holiday.

Today the same media is praising Cannabis and CBD, and says that marijuana is the miracle cure for depression, ...

Of course, you can't question that, especially on HN where every anti-cannabis opinion is downvoted.
Thank you. I've hoped to resolve this peacefully and I plan to continue along that way. I'm pretty short on money right now, so getting couple thousands for a buyout or as a share of the sale of the company/source code is pretty significant for me and missing on it would be a real blow for all that work.
On two occasions I have been asked, — "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

That's... not how a monastery works. If you'd like to experience it, go to a Russian Orthodox monastery and ask to stay for a few days. You'll be asked to do chores to help keep the monastery running, spend several hours of each day listening to incredible choral music, and come away feeling like you just spent time in a different world.
I think AdGuard's AdGuard Home, Pi-Hole competitor, does this. I've been following it for a while but haven't had the chance to replace my Pi-Hole installation yet.
Wasn't it the case that a lot of second sons became monks because they weren't going to inherit the family title/land/business/farm, and they had to find some way to survive? For the upper classes, monasteries were replaced by militaries, when second sons could go off and have adventures, and perhaps win a fortune of their own. For everyone else, the advent of wage economies did the job.

Leaving aside Yellowhammer, Thomas Cook, and the various car manufacturers, the argument that low-productivity businesses are the ones holding the economy back and need to go bankrupt is really questionable. People are free to move jobs. You just have to pay them more. Evidently the wage growth has not yet caught up enough.

The other approach would be to encourage staff from overseas, which the government has spent years discouraging and has now specifically chosen to make harder for Europeans.

There was a thread a month ago here (or on Reddit perhaps) about SmartTV's scanning/connecting to open hotspots if they can't phone home from their wlan.

That's what we say now, because we're used to the way it was. We need to start preparing ourselves for the possibility that these changes are permanent.

The current clown show in the USA will become essentially permanent if 45 is re-elected. Even if he isn't his party has changed forever and the decorum of the presidency has been tarnished beyond the possibility of any quick repair. Likewise, I expect, in the UK... especially if a no-deal brexit comes to pass.

Jira development and ticketing software hit by critical security flaws
I wonder if Hollywood is so obsessed with DRM because they themselves are such f'ing pirates. The entire culture of Hollywood is around stealing (e.g. the endless so-and-so stole my script idea lawsuits) and defending oneself from having one's stuff stolen. Maybe they're projecting and imagining that everyone is constantly trying to steal everything.

As a normal movie and TV viewer I will always look for an option to rent, buy, or stream stuff because I like to support the production of stuff I like and because the time it takes to jank around with pirated crap is generally worth more than the cost of just paying. The only time I've turned to piracy in recent (post-broke-college-kid) memory is when something is literally unavailable by any other means. I suspect I'm typical.

DRM has zero effect on my behavior. If anything DRM encourages me to consider pirating because it adds pain and hassle. In the case of actual purchases (vs streaming and virtual renting) I really despise DRM since I purchased a copy and should be able to play it on any device I have and store it for posterity. I generally will not outright purchase DRMed content.
I don't believe it's illegal to make a copy, even a perfect copy (see my comment below about the Nova episode paying an artist to repeat the process on camera of creating a duplicate). What's illegal is fraud in selling it as an original.

The point of making it obviously a copy is to have a clear defense of "obviously I wasn't trying to make a perfect copy" should it later be sold as authentic--as happened to the 'forger' in the Nova episode. He genuinely sold it as a copy; it was only after several more sales (to which he had no connection) that it was fraudulently sold as authentic.

> I feel like this is a case of "where I live, drivers are worst".

If that's what you got from my post then I've failed in conveying my intent. If anything I think that the median Australian driver is among the best in the world. Perhaps even better than the UK, depending on the metric. The only problem is that we're rarely asked to think for ourselves—everything has already been thought about for us.

Really the vast majority of drivers in every country I've visited have been similarly competent. The local variances mainly change the manifestation of badness in the remainder.

I've thought a bit about this and come to the conclusion that the best way to survive is not to have anything others would want. If you have nothing others want you will not be attacked for it and have to defend yourself. That will get you past the first wave of deaths: holding on to our old way of life thinking 'property' is important. It's best if you can actually walk to an area where there is protection from the elements, away from the masses of people fighting for the last scraps of loot remaining of the old world.

If you manage to live a year most of the original violence will have passed. You will need to start to build a life where you can make and store foodstuffs to survive through seasons where food is more scarce (I live on 66°N, winter would be harsh). Hopefully you will be in a small band of survivors that are pooling strengths to get by and can learn farming all over again.

If you do survive this period then on a timescale of decades small camps of survivors will be able to connect and start to build back up again.

Right, definitely not claiming this is the only way to interpret christianity. But, the design constraints are: how to interpret christianity in a manner that is commensurable with modern science and ancient traditions?

Hence...

Note that there is no need to find the original interpretation (impossible), only an early, valid, and widespread interpretation. And whatever it is, it should provide spiritual meaning AND not conflict with empirical reality.

I would not treat Athanasius kindly, considering his role in the Arian heresy. But I'll check out his work.

Also, I don't mean to claim that Christianity "merely borrowed". Christian thought had a huge influence on Neoplatonism (Origen and Plotinus were schoolmates). I'm only saying that interpreting Christianity without Platonism is really missing out. (Platonism was actively removed from later Christianity, as it was seen as pagan.)
