I'm deeply sorry for your suffering. 40 years is a very long time, and it's not a coincidence that throughout history 40 has been the number representing trial and suffering. Jesus does know what you have gone through. He's not "some religion" but a person. He can help you. He's the only one who can help you.

Not totally sure where to start with it. That might be the right answer though.
You're obviously ignorant to the material, there are 2 videos that expound on what cults are and how cults work.

Because NAT. Most commonly used as port address translation (One-to-many NAT), so operates with TCP and UDP.
That is not only home router issue, mobile netoworks use sometimes Carrier-grade NAT (NAT444).
Any new IP protocol has problem with that, so nobody wants to implement something that is going to be broken for most customers.
Ideologies are not dangerous, they are just the eyes through which we see things. Sometimes you have to be able to see more because your ideology doesn't help you. But you will never really escape that bias.

The difference is actually very simple. Persons and corporations are not closed systems. If you safe money, the impact is very small. Even when a big corporation safes money it doesn't really matter. But the state is huge and spends a lot of money. And many companies depend on state contracts.

I give you a simple example. The German state is subsidising public transport, if the state cuts theses costs, the company providing this service has only a few choices, such as cutting service or increasing prices. These will leads the consumer to have higher costs. If the company cuts lay off people to compensate, those will lose their income and the state must even pay them unemployment benefits.

So the state budget is not really a question if something is be paid but rather by whom and at what point. It is essentially a closed system.

P.S. Very export depended countries can essentially export this partially to other countries. There is this argument that Germany did that with Greece. While Germany consolidated its budget, the debt of Greece increased.

I'm personally not a big fan of "serverless", but I think this article is a bit unfair.

First off, API Gateway might not have been the best choice here; an ALB would probably do the trick for this use case and be cheaper. Debatable if it's fair to include API Gateway in the cost anyway; Lambda is really the "serverless" bit here, but I guess Lambda by itself isn't all that useful if you have no way of invoking it.

Beyond that, they're pushing "slower and more expensive" as a sort of indictment of serverless, that it's worthless. It's a trade off. You're trading price and performance for someone else managing the infrastructure for you. For some people that might be a reasonable trade off, and for others it might not.

Put another way: serverless is more expensive than EC2 -> EC2 is more expensive than a dedicated server -> a dedicated server is more expensive than buying your own and racking it -> etc.

Well, yeah, that's only all true if you only consider the narrow band of cost that you've cherry-picked to be relevant. Obviously buying your own server and racking it has other costs than just the server and the colo space, managing an EC2 instance costs more than just the per-hour rate AWS charges, and so on.

But correct diagnosis does not imply there is a cure or treatment available for the condition?
You missed the second part of my question, but let's put that aside. As I said it's a nasty question.

So, I think more productive question would be: How would you take away people right to procreate?

> If you want to hire someone to do a job, you need to know how to do the job yourself.

This is simply not possible with the degree of specialization in the modern economy. There's no way you can be an electrician-plumber-mechanic-doctor-lawyer-IT specialist.

This is precisely why people care about reputations and gossip.
The problem with this is that there's no legal mechanism to enforce it besides (perhaps!) contract law.

If an entity receives the seeds without the contract attached, it can hardly be considered to have agreed to the terms. The providing party may be in breach of contract, but there's no way to bind the receiving entity. A single 'rogue' link in the chain makes it all meaningless.

Of course, a variety would have to be truly spectacular for any company to take the effort and PR risk to get involved in that kind of shenanigans, so this approach may have some practical, if not legal, efficacy.

Ironically, a potentially stronger way to enforce the license terms would be to... patent the varieties. It's a quagmire of varying rules internationally, though, and there are some exemptions for the use of protected varieties in further breeding of varieties that could then be protected and subject to less 'free' terms. Plants won't ever be subject to the GPL.

I'm very sympathetic to the project's aims, but even on a purely ethical basis there is room for argument. If we want more plant varieties to be produced to tackle humanity's next challenges (and... we do), should we not be encouraging companies to make very significant, long-term investments in breeding efforts? It's hard to see how that can happen without some kind of time- and scope-limited intellectual property rights, even if the systems we have now aren't ideal.

Yes it was. I've gone searching for it with the information that you and others have left here and that's definitely where it came from.
the concept of "a special compound" is something you made up.

Watch the videos that correct the stigma of psychedelics and see the human history of them.
That's not the root of the problem. Personally, I wish MSBuild would be more powerful and would allow mixed compilation where some files are in C#, some in F# (or VB.NET or some other language targeting the CLR).

Right now most companies (in the .NET world) just run on C# and no one tries anything new except when it arrives in C# (and even then its a struggle - even though the situation has improved a lot in recent years). A mixed model would also open other scenarios.

The mixed compilation is something that current web tech (using bundlers) has in advance. I can do crazy things and end up with the best (optimized) output using a common denominator.

On the F# track I fully agree - its a wonderful language that more people should try out.
I'm having trouble figuring out what type of material in Computer Science would require a calculator.
>> unchecked migration

There is no "unchecked migration" to the United States. There's a hard cap on the number of refugees that can be admitted every year, and the asylum process is long, complex, and stressful.

Over the past 10 years, more than 50% of asylum claims have been denied. So it's not like claiming asylum comes with any sort of guarantees either.
> I suppose you could argue that such a camera would also potentially capture the screens of passengers, though.

That is exactly the main argument that I would make:) It also amounts to a permanent warrantless recording of a space that most people would expect to be semi-private, which is worrying even if you assume that it will only affect the guilty.

I honestly doubt that anyone else in my team of 7 reads HN. There's one guy who might. The rest, it just doesn't seem in their character.

While we might like to think the opposite, I feel like the majority of people in our profession are like the majority of people anywhere -- going to work to work, and going on FB/twitter/reddit to waste time. I don't know many devs personally who take a big interest in the goings-on of the startup world or open-source world in the large. Do they care about spending some of their free time honing their craft or messing around with a new tool? Absolutely. But few seem like the type who would enjoy engaging in a quasi-philosophical discussion on the strengths of various design paradigms. They spend all their day thinking at work; not many want to continue thinking about the same sort of stuff during their off hours.

I'm taking the position that open source is how advanced computer skills are learned today, through trying to use it, configure it, host it, maintain it, write it etc.

Just look at the steps for setting up WordPress, it's a 101-level project on internet and web hosting. Reading and writing open source is a vital part of how people learn to use highly-advanced tools. I think this education is a really overlooked benefit of open source.

It seems to me that technology is a one-sided amplifier. It only amplifies the aspects that are, in the end, profitable for big companies.
I still have fond memories of my TI-89 because it could do symbolic manipulation. Eventually it got banned in our classes.
Can I make a small counterpoint? I would say Noam Chomsky has very little credibility as a social scientist. (As a linguist is another matter.) He's tied himself in knots over Venezuela. Before that he disgraced himself by denying genocide in Cambodia (http://www.paulbogdanor.com/chomsky/wma.html). His books are well-nigh unreadable rants, which substitute conspiratorial thinking for serious analysis.

If you want to read a serious progressive economist, go for Dani Rodrik. Or hell, read Marx. Marx was a real social scientist. Chomsky, no.

Amazon makes most of their money from retail and cloud. Microsoft arguably makes most of their money from sales of Windows, Office, and Azure.

If any form of advertising, even internal tracking and advertising, at all denotes you as surveillance company, then Apple's iAd, and Store optimization algorithms to try and maximize app sales would count.

Likewise, JPMorgan Chase, which probably knows a good deal more about your personal finances than any of the tech companies, is also a surveillance company.

We live in an era where defense contractors have caused the deaths of millions of people, and Purdue farmer just made $30 billion hooking people on opioids and reducing American life expectancy for the first time since 1918, where gun manufacturers are feeding small arms violence all over the world, especially in developing countries, and even hooking kids on smoking nicotine -- Juul -- is back.

And we're discussing how on HN horrible target advertising is, over and over again. There's actually people's lives and healthy being literally destroyed by regular old capitalism all around the world.
More evidence, as if we needed any more, that past a certain point being 'woke' is an exercise in futility. The most 'woke' megacorp in the world can't do it. The most 'woke' countries in the world can't do it. (theres more whining and complaining about socjus in Scandanavia per capita than just about anywhere else in the world). No matter how far you go in tearing down the patriarchy or intersecting the insectionality, the complaints and neuroticism will simply expand to match your 'enlightenment'.

Lol.

Any of the IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, "serverless" (I'd slide that into the SaaS category) computing is just differing levels of out sourcing. Did you expect a managed service provider to be faster? Look after the stack yourself to avoid someone else's junk on your monthly rented computer.
Effective tax rates haven't changed that much over time [0]. Doubling the tax rate on the rich is unlikely to double tax revenue, and could easily decrease income tax revenue.

If we want to increase tax revenue to fund our current and future liabilities, the money is almost certainly going to have to come from tax increases on the middle class (who don't pay meaningful amounts of federal income tax for the most part) in the form of a VAT, as almost every other developed nation has already determined.

I've been on setraline for a few years now, and I've definitely noticed some changes to my personality. I'm also not bothered by stuff that, presumably, I should be bothered by.

On the other hand, I think this kind of autonomic response doesn't really define me as a person. For a long time, my main response to anything was 'I hate it and it terrifies me'. That's something I never particularly saw as 'me' either, but it did obviously have its effect on the sort of person I am, the kind of thinking and talking I got used to. These things get threaded into your personality, but I think personality really plays out over a longer timescale. The things that have been constant in the way I do stuff has been constant over a couple of decades of mental illness and different meds, even though the outward appearance, and the internal sensorium, the mindscape, have been radically different at each point. I'm certainly more relaxed than I was, but I don't really see this as different in kind from the differences to the psyche wrought by depression or anxiety. It's a change to who I am, and how I act, but a much smaller, less painful, and ultimately less deep-carving one than living with mental illness.

A nuclear bomb is just technology, and is very decidedly not a neutral force.

EDIT: Another counter-example that they used all the time in my Ethics Engineering class was the low-hanging bridge, which served to segregate white-folk from black-folk in New York City.

City Busses cannot pass a low-hanging bridge. So by carefully crafting neighborhoods surrounded by low-hanging bridges, you can prevent bus-traffic, and therefore African Americans from visiting certain neighborhoods.

If you were a Civil Engineer and you were expected to build an anti-bus bridge today, should you, or should you not, build the bridge? This is a fundamental ethics question. As the engineer, your ethics are marked upon the products you make.

This is the cause of drug shortages here in the EU. It has gotten so bad that the Dutch government are supporting moving the production of generics into the EU.

That makes a lot of sense to me, it seems to be a smart strategic move to have drug production under your control. Just like it's smart to be self-sufficient in the production of food.

I'm referring to illegal immigration, of which a major component is the abuse of the asylum system.

Something like 90+% of claimants disappear after their initial catch-and-release at US / Mexico crossings, prompting Trump's controversial policy.

> someone felt unprotected by HR

How can this ever be true. Why would someone possibly expect HR to protect them.

Isn't it basic commonsense that HR( or anyone) works for person who pays them. Their job is to protect their employers from you ( not the other way around). I've never worked at a place where this wasn't true. Maybe this should be taught in college or something.
I mean if you look at lives lost it seems quite obvious. Americans and the world consume too much sugar. Empty calories contribute to obesity.

> Now if Apple/Android made a simple way for a test proctor to put your phone into a single app only that you couldn't easily break out of, maybe things will change.

I tried it just now with desmos testing app. It starts when you click "start test" and ends after 8 hours or when you click "complete". Teachers just verify that the start time and duration looks right before they click complete test and disable the mode. During that time you can't switch apps, look at notifications, etc.

I went from developing front-end only with the MEAN stack, to full-stack with Webforms, to MVC...and I was easily more confused with the transition to MVC than anything else. Even being accustomed to EF now, I still would bet money that I could write data access code twice as quickly with half as many issues. I fail to see what's so much better about working with an object than understanding SQL and your data. Everyone claims MVC is a more natural, transparent web development paradigm, which I sort of agree with, but anyone who hasn't written APIs or worked with EF before will find themselves trading a lot of productivity for it.
Flouroquinolones are pretty terrifying. I had a bad reaction that basically gave me a constant low-grade panic attack. Felt like the sensation of betrayal or impending doom in my chest. Luckily I only had minor tendon issues as I discontinued after a week.
