It's not insane, but it would be a horrible and bloody hot war, the likes of which we haven't seen since WWII, and it would probably eclipse WWII in total deaths.

But it's not "insane", because we have precedent for it: it's exactly what happened in WWII: the world's largest economies and industrial powers going into an all-out war, culminating in nuclear attack, and resulting in the deaths of tens of millions. It's happened before, and so it could certainly happen again.
A lot of interesting thoughts here but the author doesn't really wrap them into a conclusion. A whole lot of words to say "they all work and it depends".

Ask HN: Is Reddit still toxic even after all their “changes”?
(Using throwaway here as I anticipate some potential flak...)

On Reddit:

- I've tried to help blossoming entrepreneurs by giving them advice from lessons learned myself, just to get downvoted to oblivion.

- I've contributed toward gaming communities, all to be downvoted & "flamed", because I was busy at work when the question I asked was answered by the game developers (just a couple hrs prior to my post on R).

- I've submitted topics highly relevant to other subs, all to have them shut down by a power-hungry moderator who repeats themself like a robot over-and-over again, saying I did not read the FAQ and sub rules, when I did so numerous times and the post's title & content comply.

Is there any hope left for Reddit? It seems either you agree to hate on everything you see or you are booted.

It is sad that many of our youth are on here absorbing and/or spreading this toxicity! We cannot build a better world if we are occupied with spreading hate or other unproductive and potentially harmful actions.

By oversight I mean are vaccines being pushed that are unnecessary for everyone to get (for example yearly flu). Are government officials being lobbied to pass laws requiring vaccines that are not needed etc.

I believe the vaccines them selves are safe and tested.
Ben Carson's views on pediatric vaccines might or might not be well founded but his views on Egyptology certainly proves the point well that expertise in one area doesn't prevent one from being very poorly informed in another.
I think what people are arguing is deploying a single binary is even more trivial than a "venv with the right architecture". Deploying one file is going to be easier than deploying a set of files.
This looks like it's chock-full of interesting ideas, but who is the target audience for the book? I don't believe I have much control over how my city is organized.
Programming is generally not mathematics, though. Usually, you're doing something considerably more complex, though also more concrete.
For me it is a keychain / bookmark system. Though I suppose I could use Keepass for that as well.
Nails as a community, you get to live and work in a space exclusive to people with wonderful nails.

I'm not super knowledgeable on the topic, but although the new governments didn't really work out, didn't the mass murders and other atrocities stop with the removal of the old dictator? Those countries may not be "stable" (yet), but is the situation really worse that it was?

I dont have a strong stance one way or another on the climate debate because I haven't familiarised myself well enough with both sides of the argument.
But your points above speak right past the points in the article I quoted, and as such do nothing to discredit it.
And I find the "conceit" label strange. I can understand if you label it "wrong" or "ignorant", but what renders it conceited?
> Where is the military going to fire those "computer guided missiles?"

Blowing up a home or two harboring a "terrorist cell" during a meeting I'm sure will be deterrence enough for a lot of those gun owners.

> Are they going to destroy their own infrastructure?

The infrastructure is the exact kind of ground that can be held much more securely against pistols and rifles using the U.S.'s advanced weaponry.

> Do you think the real men and women of the military would follow orders to destroy its own hometowns and families?

See the Arab Spring for reference on this one

> How long before regional coups?

I'm sure a civilian populace will experience war fatigue waaay before a trained, well paid, well fed military.

You're coming up with a hypothetical scenario where it's the entire US government against the entire populace. In the real world it doesn't happen that way - the populace is divided between the rebels and the government supporters.

Besides, look at today's political climate: most of the gun owners are the one's backing our most authoritarian leader! If, somehow, we were to slide into dictatorship you can be sure the leader would make whatever promises necessary to get the gun toters on his/her side.
I do try to save the hip shots for twitter.
You aren't putting up walls around yourself when you do that. Facebook is.
/r/politics affects every subreddit with it's overzealous members having to do outreach to ensure we always know the truth. Pics regularly has political posts as do other default subs. I've found nothing but the most hateful racist vitriol on politics than I actually ever saw on the_donald.

It's so incredibly toxic and I've even seen it on HN albeit much more limited in scope.
The Texas transmission grid run by ERCOT is independent of FERC, but not NERC. They still have to answer to the same reliability standards as everyone else in the US.
They’re standard sizes and the mechanism to attach the built in doors to the appliances (where relevant) is also standardised. I’ve replaced built in fridges, washing machines, dishwashers, ovens and hobs in my own homes over the years without needing to redo anything else.

What does annoy me though is that you have to pay a premium for appliances which are ‘built in’ over the equivalent model which is not built in, despite the built in version being less complicated (no door handles, for example).

I've actually built sonos-web [1] a couple of years ago, and started to rewrite it in Rust [2], but didn't have much time to do it.

It should be a good place to start if anybody wants to extend it (:

I was being serious. I don’t have a problem with responsible gun ownership.

Switzerland is a good model. The NRA loves to point at rates of Swiss gun ownership. If the USA implemented all of Switzerland’s gun laws I think you’d be okay.
So few people are probably aware of this, but Walmart has this tech internally to power a bunch of things like:

1. URL shortening
2. CDN load balancing
3. Emergency content removal
4. Emergency content rewriting (removing a dynamically generated cache buster)
5. A bunch of other things.

We had a few transforms which couldn't be done in a streaming way, like inserting content in the head based on content seen in the body, so we opted to do none of them streaming. Which does hurt TTFB if your content isn't cacheable.

I understand where you're coming from, but in my opinion the benefit you're describing isn't worth the privacy concerns for me. I do wish there were a service that allowed for event organizing that didn't try to track me around the web and that didn't sell any information they could find on me to third parties.

There is also the idea of "quality of interaction". My relatively nearby sphere of family that posts updates aren't really looking for my validation. They'll let me know what their children have been up to the next time I see them in meatspace. I'll get more enjoyment out of talking with them about them, too, then I ever will by posting an emoji or liking their post. My proverbial crazy uncle that posts political screes will still corner me at the next family gathering and I'll using coping strategies until I can escape. Do I really need to keep tabs on the lives of the people I would casually say 'hi' to in the hallway in middle school 40 years ago?

If the cost were trivial, then maybe this would all be worth it. But the privacy concerns drive me away. I have an account. I use it once every year or two to give my condolences when I hear someone I know had a relative pass away or something. Other than that, I do without. It makes me wonder what life would be like if there was a corporation like that that I could actually trust.

Yeah, I lean right as well (fiscally). There's no way in hell I'd seriously post any political stuff online that's tied to my real name. There is absolutely no nuance in online discussions. Just wrong think, name calling, and down votes (and spamming links that "prove" things at each other).

Contrast that with the real world where (outside of some fringe goofballs) having deeply different political beliefs doesn't mean that much. You can vehemently disagree with one another... while also enjoying each other's company (and also talking about things other than politics!).
Depending on how you view some aspects of this modern way, it can also make you hopeful.
is "Michigan" supposed to be Melbourne? Can't find any mention of Michigan on your website...
There's a good Seneca letter, "On Quiet Conversation." It includes these lines:

"Philosophy is good advice; and no one can give advice at the top of his lungs...

Words should be scattered like seed; no matter how small the seed may be, if it has once found favourable ground, it unfolds its strength and from an insignificant thing spreads to its greatest growth. Reason grows in the same way; it is not large to the outward view, but increases as it does its work. Few words are spoken; but if the mind has truly caught them, they come into their strength and spring up. Yes, precepts and seeds have the same quality; they produce much, and yet they are slight things. Only, as I said, let a favourable mind receive and assimilate them. Then of itself the mind also will produce bounteously in its turn, giving back more than it has received."
Yes, he's a civil officer armed with lethal force. He presumably was prepared to kill or withdraw, but managed to prevent himself from being killed by the person hitting him with a pipe or the firebomb that went off shortly after he shot the person hitting him with a pipe, it doesn't look like the person with the pipe was fatally wounded, and the group of people in the area who appeared to be making efforts to injure people and destroy property were dispersed.

I assume you would prefer that this officer was not there in the first place, and Hong Kong was under the control of leaders that were selected in free, fair elections. Me too!

However, the original point I made was that this officer handled the situation in a way that is unlikely to generate much, if any, outrage from the international community or additional sympathy for Hong Kong protesters. Nothing you've said at any point in this discussion has seriously addressed this point, let alone refuted it, so this is probably my last comment in this thread, since you seem to be much more interested in posting rhetoric than having a conversation.
The first question. No way to attest that for me, do your guess from other news.

The super rich of HK are surely out, they do so every time when there is trouble. Hongkongers who bought foreign property or passports in past years are certainly moved out by now too.

So, that leaves your typical petit bourgeois behind. Clerks, government workers, part of white collar workforce
Please, just consider what I actually said, these excessive scorched earth situations are kind of bizarre.

The reason you would require the functioning facility to be closed is to make it clear to the business and all others there are consequences for this incompetence and lack of care.
Agree on all points. To be fair though, Vietnam was a political defeat, not a military one. They killed 10 vietnamese for every american soldier.
>pediatric neurosurgeon who pioneered procedures previously pondered as preposterous

The Hong Kong government wouldn't say "No" because they're not elected by the mass population of Hong Kong but appointed in a manner controlled by China (through https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_Committee).
Feel good regulation feels good until one tries to get a startup off the ground and regulation throws giant monkey wrench in the works.

>"Natural law" isn't an argument for really anything. I'm not sure what you think I'm dismissing, but if you have an argument to make, make one.

Natural law is where humans get rights (they are born with them), also the foundation of modern civilization.

> What people do in extreme situations to prevent their deaths is interesting, but it's not an argument for what you should do on a daily basis outside of such a situation.

What people do to survive is eat. What they eat is the entire subject you are arguing.

Glad to see we agree humans eat everything. Now can you quit pretending animals have some right to not be eaten ?
To add to that:

Wars of aggression against two neighboring countries (Vietnam and India) in the past 50 years, active territorial disputes with basically every other significant country nearby. The creation of client states like which are then used to undermine stability (North Korea), or to undermine international organizations (Cambodia and ASEAN).
