> - is egregiously against the enclosing country's founding principles (the US Constitution vs. whatever China has - absolute CP authority?)

Interestingly enough, the Chinese Constitution at one point arguably endowed even more rights onto the people than the American one:

"Article 35 of the 1982 State Constitution proclaims that 'citizens of the People's Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession, and of demonstration.'[3] In the 1978 constitution, these rights were guaranteed, but so were the right to strike and the 'four big rights', often called the 'four bigs': to speak out freely, air views fully, hold great debates, and write big-character posters."[1]

Unfortunately that same Constitution also gives the government rights to take away other rights in the name of "protecting the [Communist] state," which is why authoritarian China is the China we know today.

I am not an expert on the Chinese Constitution nor a citizen of Hong Kong, but I think revolutionary HKers can make the argument that they are trying to live up to the original 1982 Constitution put forth before the rise of the CCP, which they may view as a totalitarian takeover of what was once their ideal legal system (since the CCP did not have such total control at the time of their British handoff).

While we're at this, there are other domains from which stuff is notoriously being added through a single day and which should already have some restrictions; there's difference from adding interesting content and shameless spamming or as some would prefer "content promotion".

I've joined HN in hope to see interesting IT content, not to be fed by big portals with general news from yet another side.

Repl.it (YC W18) | Infrastructure Engineer | ONSITE | SF | https://repl.it/jobs

Repl.it is the first massively open computing platform where anyone, even without even needing an account, can hop on and in seconds start executing code, build and host applications and websites, and collaborate with other people.

Providing a service like this is challenging from all a scaling, security, and billing perspectives. Additionally, supporting the number of languages that we do (https://repl.it/languages) is hard from both a hard systems tooling problem -- we have to build generic protocols for executing, debugging, authoring code, running tests, handling files, etc.

It's a great time to be joining us, we're still 8 full-time people, we reach more than a million coders a month, and we're backed by YC and a16z.
There's this quote from Kundera's The unbearable lightness of being. Perhaps it makes sense in this context.

We all need someone to look at us. We can be divided into four categories according to
the kind of look we wish to live under.
The first category longs for the look of an infinite number of anonymous eyes, in other
words, for the look of the public. That is the case with the German singer, the American
actress, and even the tall, stooped editor with the big chin. He was accustomed to his
readers, and when one day the Russians banned his newspaper, he had the feeling
that the atmosphere was suddenly a hundred times thinner. Nothing could replace the
look of unknown eyes. He thought he would suffocate. Then one day he realized that
he was constantly being followed, bugged, and surreptitiously photographed in the
street. Suddenly he had anonymous eyes on him and he could breathe again! He
began making theatrical speeches to the microphones in his wall. In the police, he had
found his lost public.
The second category is made up of people who have a vital need to be looked at by
many known eyes. They are the tireless hosts of cocktail parties and dinners. They are
happier than the people in the first category, who, when they lose their public, have the
feeling that the lights have gone out in the room of their lives. This happens to nearly all
of them sooner or later. People in the second category, on the other hand, can always
come up with the eyes they need. Marie-Claude and her daughter belong in the second
category.
Then there is the third category, the category of people who need to be constantly
before the eyes of the person they love. Their situation is as dangerous as the situation
of people in the first category. One day the eyes of their beloved will close, and the
room will go dark. Tereza and Tomas belong in the third category.
And finally there is the fourth category, the rarest, the category of people who live in the
imaginary eyes of those who are not present. They are the dreamers. Franz, for
example. He traveled to the borders of Cambodia only for Sabina. As the bus bumped
along the Thai road, he could feel her eyes fixed on him in a long stare.
Clearly the university business is ripe for disruption.
One big downside to this is that every topping you add requires yet another sliding conveyor belt. The demo here can only make cheese, pepperoni, ham/sausage, and meat lovers pizza.

And just my personal opinion that the pizza that comes out looks pretty damn sloppy. Those sausage chunks roll around too much. If this were my machine I'd probably have it only make cheese and pepperoni and have a person on hand to make other kinds of pizza. Assuming I use this contraption at all.
This ruling was expected. The judge had been stalling on making a ruling to make it take time to work its way through the appeals courts and get to the Supreme Court where the policy might actually get ruled unconstitutional.

You look at the the target and analyze the methods used in the attack to make that determination. For example, a zero-day exploit involving expensive equipment screams state-sponsored. Criminal enterprises wouldn't waste their money and resources analyzing and attacking Juicero machines in an embassy.

Also, the same tools and techniques get recycled, so you can use clues from previous attacks to tie together a motive.

> Exactly what does it mean to be "state-sponsored"?

It means an attack was either performed by a foreign agency or by a group getting paid to act on their behalf.

> And who provides this analysis?

Government agencies and private companies provide these types of analysis services.

I mean if the ingredients are brought directly from the farm to the factory, put on dough, and frozen. The only difference would be the dough.

The actual ingredients may be more fresh than if a random pizza joint bought them from a grocery store that picked them too early, shipped them half way across the planet, let them ripen in the back, brought them out, got bought a day later, left them hanging around for 5 days at the pizza store fridge before cutting them and putting them on your pizza 8 hours later.

We share 90% of our DNA with cats. 99.9% with other humans. DNA sharing is a measure whose dynamic range is blown.

That's like saying there is a 99.9% chance to survive the end of the year vs a 99% chance. Vastly different!

We share 99.9 % of our DNA with any other human being. Chimps are 12X more different than we are to ourselves - and how different we are!
The most plausible theory I've seen floated is that the US Midwest is likely already in a recession. US Manufacturing index weakens AGAIN, which means the midwest isn't making as much stuff as it used to. https://www.instituteforsupplymanagement.org/ismreport/mfgro...

So a local recession is likely already happening. The question is whether or not this spreads to be a full US-scale recession.

I do believe that the technology sector is in the end-stages of a bubble, but whether or not that causes a drop in GDP is another question. The WeWork IPO-failure, as well as Peloton IPO drop, has shown that "tech" companies are not as valuable as VCs thought they were. (WeWork isn't $40 Billion as Softbank expected but is instead ~$10 Billion).

So now what? Well remember: 2008 was a "Great Recession", and 2001 was a recession but mainly isolated to the tech-sector. A recession like `91 (~8% unemployment) is probably what people should be thinking about from history.

There's probably no chance of another 2008-like "Great Recession". But the US economic cycle cannot boom forever, and we've been booming for nearly 11 years now. Some kind of recession is inevitable.
Flip it on its head: don’t start with an idea. Start by identifying a group of people you belong to (e.g. “Rails developers”), because it gives you an instant leg up in knowing their struggles. Then research their struggles. Write about them, and solve them. Grow an audience (read: email list). After all that research you’ll have a solid idea of what they already want and buy, and you can create that for them. Plus you’ll have built up an audience to sell it to!

It’s not necessarily quick but it works. Amy Hoy & Alex Hillman were the ones who taught me this strategy and I heartily recommend reading everything they’ve written at https://stackingthebricks.com :)
I'm sorry, is this a judge or a legislator? I don't think their job is to "fix" anything. If the government is going to discriminate against me over my skin color I want to be able to hold them accountable at the ballot box.

"Race-conscious" is a handy euphemism.
Another instance of the press trying to convey its ideology in a subtle way? Most people don't read the body of the news (probably not even the NYT news), as you can witness recurrently on social networks or reddit.

On the other side of the Atlantic these things are also beginning to happen. In the name of positive discrimination there are collectives, larger or smaller, that are effectively discriminated against, and in a very tangible way.

In Spain the cases that have been most discussed are about selection processes for public officials, where women have easier physical tests, and in some cases the simple fact of being a woman already gives you points.

As far as I know, we have not yet reached the point of favouring certain nationalities or ethical groups, but as all these trends from the USA end up arriving in Spain, I have no doubt that sooner or later it will be on the table.

One thing that worries me a lot is seeing how being against these measures seems to be interpreted as a conservative position. I am honestly quite surprised that we have reached this point with so little opposition from the institutions.
I have to say I fundamentally disagree with the assertion that "social media bad." I've learned tons of things from communities I follow, including this one, and a number of reddits. I keep in touch with friends of varying distances, and even make plans in my own town.

I'm not saying that the way social media tries to suck you in doesn't make you unhealthy, or their ideal patterns of engagement won't make you miserable, but in my mind that's like saying that Smirnoff's ideal of your consumption will make you an alcoholic, therefore alcohol is bad. Alcohol and social media are perfectly able to be consumed responsibly; perhaps not by everyone, and I would never begrudge someone not partaking if they don't want to. I just get tired of the drumbeat that "social media bad, delete your facebook, don't post on instagram" when I've had and have Facebook, Instagram, Hacker News, Reddit, on and on and they don't make me miserable because I don't obsess over them.

Just saying.

Cargo does ignore unknown directives, as mentioned in the link:

A first-person survival game (no zombies, just unforgiving nature) called The Long Dark explores this in a way that feels concrete.

There's no electricity, except during aurorae when everything electric glitches.

After playing the survival sandbox version of the game for some time, there was a short electric blackout due to a thunderstorm in real life, in the area where I live. That made me think hard about our dependency on electrical stuff. If the electricity goes over a big area, there's no light, phones last for a short time, then goes the water, radios will be out, food supplies will cease eventually, and so forth and so on. A modern technological society is relatively brittle.

The game studio made a short film called "Elegy" [1]. I think it is quite beautiful in all its melancholy.

It doesn't feel helpful to be viewed as an individual as opposed to simply a member of a group? Not every person with x skin color has the same experiences... You're taking racism and running the other way with it instead of just rejecting the premise of viewing people as tribe members as flawed. You shouldn't judge people by the groups they happen to belong to. Individuals should be judged on a case-by-base basis.

Is it really? Think about the often used phrase in regards to subjects like this: 'equality of opportunity' vs. 'equality of outcome' think of all it would take in America to come close to equality of opportunity: you would need vast levels of education and housing reform at the minimum. That reform would no doubt 'disadvantage' those who have benefited from the discrimination and lack of access that others have dealt with. Fundamentally it looks like an institution like Harvard taking into account this context when determining admissions. This is beyond the individuals who may or may not participate in the discrimination itself because the outcome of that discrimination is everywhere now, no one can escape it.
Isnt that competence?
past discrimination does not explain the rise of asians.
Then the USA should also enact obligatory military service. So that everyone would know how to use those guns. And see them as a grave responsibility, not just a right.
This would work, if they had a leader representing this movement.
Nobody is entitled to go to Harvard and focusing on one institution does a disservice to folks (including Asian Americans like myself) who didn’t get into any elite institutions unlike many of the plaintiffs

This is silly, guns can't protect the population against the modern government. It would start by running a disinformation campaign to turn citizens against each other, then would purge large swaths of the resisting power structure using slaughterbot-type approaches. Areas of significant political resistance would be wiped out using chemical weapons, or even nuclear weapons. The weapons of the U.S. Military turned against the population of the U.S. would be efficiently horrific at reducing resistance. Oh, you think the U.S. Military wouldn't do that? Nazi Germany is calling and they want their history lesson back.

This is discrimination and yet Harvard is a private school and should be able to make its own admission standards. Taking federal money complicates that.
Did the people from a century ago feel like they were in a low-tech time where medical solutions hadn't been invented yet? I suspect they felt like they were at the very front of modern life and were reaping the benefits of modern knowledge and technology. Then, suddenly something new and unexpected came along and revealed how fragile they really were.

Today we might also feel that we're at the very front of modern life and reaping the benefits of modern knowledge and tech. However, even our great county of Los Angeles has been taken over by a new mosquito that is hurting our quality of life:
