There's definitely some insane authoritarian teachers. I've always found it incredibly abusive and offensive that anyone is expected to ask permission to go to the restroom. Nobody appreciates being treated like a subhuman beast.

Based on my experience, nothing quite kills the joy for exploration and learning like school. It's brainwashing training: teaching you to uncritically accept facts from authority figures. This is probably most evident in propagandist history courses which carefully omit any inconvenient details.
Pot? That's your argument?

Show me the state where you can show full penetrative sex on public TV at 9pm, like you can in europe, and I'll agree they're independent.

EDIT: OK, that was a dumb example. Substitute banning guns, or lowering the drinking age, or lowering income tax. Country-level things.
> Isn't causing other people pain a pretty basic thing that you aren't supposed to do?

Uh, obviously not? Seriously, this is absolutely self-inconsistent way to see things. No, it is not a "pretty basic thing" and the world isn't a friendly place, deal with it. People always cause pain to the others whether you like it or not. If I've been dating a girl for several years and still love her, but she does not love me anymore, she is causing me pain by breaking up with me. Quite likely more so, than a dear friend's death and pretty much for sure more that, say, a robbery. So what, she isn't supposed to break up with me now or what?
Constraints typically feed innovation; it also levels the competition playing field to some degree, and controls what kind of games gets produced, and what tooling is used/viable.

And thus changes the expected audience to the challenge -- ideally, everyone there is interested in the same goal, with varying experience; the kinds of goals that will appear depends on the constraints imposed

Which law? EU law? Afaik Turkey isn't a member of the EU but might like to be depending on who you're talking to.
It’s very common and very natural. We all try to find our in- and by extension, out-group.

Narcissists just make the problem much, much worse.
I agree with your point about the importance of intellectual honesty. I think you're misrepresenting their beliefs though. Here's their stated goals and beliefs:

"As part of a coordinated strategy to systematically redistribute wealth and repair the harm created by wealth extraction, RG asks our members to take bold action with the resources currently under our and our families’ control, moving toward greater alignment with humanity and the planet ... its primary goal is to “redistribute all or almost all inherited wealth and/or excess wealth to social justice movements.”

Their goal is perfectly aligned with someone choosing to give away the majority of their inherited wealth, while still keeping enough to live comfortably in a loft in Manhattan. I don't see any hypocrisy there.

There seems to be a common belief that being a do-gooder implies giving away all your wealth and living a spartan existence. I disagree with that. It is perfectly reasonable for someone to find a middle ground of comfort + philanthropy.
You're right. I read 'manifest destiny' as short hand for "USA USA!" boosterism. China obviously isn't an expansionist colonial power either. But I concede the point that Manifest Destiny really hasn't been an active doctrine in our lifetime.

It's possible with an enterprise distribution certificate. There are "fake" app stores that distribute pirated apps, they are particularly common in Asia, and I believe many "average" users use them.

Apple can shuts them down by revoking the certificates, but it seems to reduce the visibility, and therefore extend the time that they can work for.
Re: managing the SSH keys being annoying—I’d suggest setting up an OpenSSH `AuthorizedKeysCommand` in your instances (e.g. using a cloud-init script), that looks at some central repository of SSH keys.

This isn’t me telling you to implement some scary arcane wire-protocol, either. All an AuthorizedKeysCommand script/binary has to do is spit out a stream of SSH pubkeys considered valid to authenticate a login attempt on a given username. The “implicit default” AuthorizedKeysCommand is `cat “/home/$1/.ssh/authorized_keys”`. Your implementation just needs to do the same thing that that command does: take “pubkeys that mean this user could log into this box” from some source, and spit them at stdout. (Don’t want that user logging in to that box? Don’t write anything to stdout.)

I wrote my own little AuthorizedKeysCommand binary a while back (https://github.com/tsutsu/github-auth3) for using Github’s user-SSH-keys and user-org-membership APIs as such a repository. You tell it a Github org name, and it’ll stream out the username’s equivalent Github user’s SSH pubkeys, if-and-only-if that Github user is a member of the specified Github org. (The code is, like, 20 lines. Read it yourself!)

——

This is also one case where specific ecosystems can really smooth things over, though.

If you’re running in Google Cloud, for example, you don’t need to do any of the above. Instead, just configure “OS Login” (https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/oslogin/), and then log into the gcloud(1) tool on your workstation as an IAM user that you’ve granted the “OS Login” role. Then it’s as simple as:

SSH: `gcloud compute ssh instanceName`

SCP: `gcloud compute scp ./f.txt instanceName:` (or vice-versa)

On first use, IAM will generate a new SSH keypair for the OS Login user. Your gcloud(1) keystore will grab the private half when it needs it; Compute Engine instances will hit IAM to ask for the public half when anyone tries to log in (probably using an SSH `AuthorizedKeysCommand` stanza; I haven’t looked into it.) The user account (`me_example_com` if your IAM user is `me@example.com`) will be created on the instance if it doesn’t already exist (but you can set up your instance template such that it does already exist, if you like, or set up roaming profiles using Filestore as an NFS host, or whatever.)

You can also log into your OS Login account through regular direct SSH/SCP to the instance’s external IP (this isn’t some custom proprietary version of SSH or anything), but you won’t have access to the IAM-held private key if you’re not going through gcloud(1), so you’d want to configure your IAM user with a custom authorized pubkey first (which your instances will also automatically see.)
Cows get those eaas from grasses we can't eat.
I've posted this before but I think it bears repeating: Study after study[1] has shown that an individual's perception of the likely punishment (e.g., prison time) doesn't deter crime. Rather, an individual's perception of the likelihood they'll get caught seems to be the main deterrent.

This is a really interesting & related read.[2]

>Is it that human nature is broken, and that we should try to compensate for it

No, that if we should be aware, we should be aware for all injustices, not just follow the ones we are force-fed by hypocritical self-serving interests (e.g. our country's diplomacy and subservient media preferring this victim over that, or getting outraged at this player over that - because it suits some diplomatic plans).

Especially when they atrocities they point people to look at are much more minor than others they purposefully ignore...

In general, getting one's own opinion, as opposed following the government/media agendas of enemies and victim's du jour, and knowing when they're manipulated, is a good thing...

should see through crocodile tears hypocritic concern, and that we should be aware of all injustices
Did you change the contents of your meals when you changed to fasting, or kept them the same over different time periods?

For myself, intermittent fasting meant it was easier for me to maintain weight rather than gaining, largely because I removed a 400 calorie meal, a 150 calorie morning snack, and a 9PM bedtime snack from my diet.

However, when I changed diets completely for a month during a Whole30, I dropped quite a few pounds and felt much better as far as mental clarity and energy levels.

(Unfortunately I have not maintained that healthier diet, but plan to attempt it again!)

I'd imagine the only reason it isn't so obvious as to need no justification is because children self-segregate by intelligence in schools anyway.
It has not really anything to do with human nature, its the power structures in the west that have vested interests to shape the mainstream narrative. Some atrocities are getting coverage, its not at all arbitrary which ones. Its more a sign of how incredibly effective they've become in pacifying the entire population in the west through media and politics, institutional corruption, sham elections, etc. Western democracy is beyond broken, will never get fixed and things will only get worse. But I agree with the majority of people who can still form coherent thoughts in their minds, much easier to just stick the head in the sand and deny that what I'm stating is demonstrably true.
Oh, I'm certain reporting is often very dramatic, especially for climate change. It seems to be a trait of much modern journalism.

In this case we are seeing coral reefs die in real time in front of us. Maybe they end up being more resilient than we anticipate, to which reporting that the end is nigh will seem a bit silly. But it's somewhat too late for citations and debate on whether or not they are being harmed.
This happened a lot for people that lived through the great depression.

Glad to see the article mention dropping in the fastcluster package to replace the default R hclust. I would suggest using the parallelDist library as well instead of the standard dist.

Clustering in general and hierarchical clustering have been something I have spent some recent time trying to come up to speed on. Current state of the art seems to be using graph-based approaches of community detection (Louvain method) where graphs are built for a set of samples with N features by starting with a graph of K-nearest-neighbors and assigning some weight to the edges.

I went to a highscool where there were about 20-30 International Baccalaureate Diploma candidates and about 1200 students in regular, honors, and a handful of AP classes. My junior and senior year I was in all IB classes, but freshman and junior year I had to take a handful of the regular, honors, and an AP class and they were all absurdly slow and easy to be successful in to the point that I would entirely disengage. Had I not been in such a rigorous program I think I would have almost certainly made worse choices in relation to my education and life outside of school.
"Second, the person’s body and mind are in better shape than would be expected based on the person’s chronological age (that is, the person is biologically younger than he is chronologically)."

There's a lot of subjectivity hidden here. As determined by a doctor? Which doctor? What criteria? If a 40 year old has debilitating congenital tremors, but has the "mind of a 30 year old", who gets to accept or reject their age change request? Their body might not be in "better shape than would be expected", but it's due to a lifelong condition, not age.
The term "British Isles" is purely a geographic one, and a controversial one at that; whether or not the the Isle of Man is part of the British Isles (it blatantly is, but I think the point being made related to the naming controversy) is unrelated to the "complexity" of the UK political entities.
It's how a non-English-native speaker would build the adjective to Sisyphus. After all, that is his name.

My native tongue is German, and if I hadn't heard the word Sisyphean before, I would have tried to find it in the same manner. In German, tasks would be described as "Sisyphus labors", not via the adjective.

Thus, it would be reasonable for a German speaker to know the person's name more than the metaphorical word for "laborious + futile".
They also have a huge market there, that's on the rise for future decades (many poor remaining trying to become middle class), whereas their own are getting saturated...
Note CRTs where a luxury item in the early 1970s. A 5x7x64 character generator requires 2240 bits uncompressed. Perhaps get closer to 1K if you had some run length compression.

By 1977 a lab I worked in bought a CRT terminal for each student because character ROMs had dropped in price.
Well, maybe we should also read beyond headlines — because this article offers a glimmer of hope, but no guarantee that the world’s reefs will bounce back from the very real damage they’re being subjected to.
> farms growing crops have been just as destructive as those raising animals

This comparison does not make sense. What this reporter and the public, in general, fail to realize still in 2019, is that most of the farms producing crops are doing so to produce cattle feed.

The majority of agricultural fields are planted to feed livestock, not humans. Only a relatively small amount of crops goes directly to humans.

This is why eating plants directly is much less wasteful and more resource-efficient. If more people eat plant-based, much less land will be needed for crops, that's the point.
Which is still nonsense. Almost all of the largest cities in the US are mostly or entirely within 25 miles of a land or water border.
Thanks for trying to educate the mass in a factual manner, and I'd like to apologize for others for voting you down. Unfortunately many of HN are fueled currently by a righteous sense of nationalism and words outside the context of the media cannot be easily consumed at the moment. It's absolutely similar in Chinese forums though as we are through an era that has the easiest path towards a propaganda for a collective herd mentality. However it is important to continue to present the facts as it's a gain overall for the entire community to not have the facts/opposing views to be censored.
That's only in the EU/Schengen laws and refugees can pay smugglers to get them to their desired country of choice through EU's porous borders(I drive a lot through Europe and border checks are only along the main highways, side roads are completely unguarded).

Nothing against helping refugees but EU and NATO should reconsider any further cooperation with Turkey.

Okay article, terrible headline.

No single action in isolation will save the world from climate collapse. The problem stems from countless actions taking place today that do not pay for the external cost of emitting carbon into the atmosphere. The defeatist attitude that something should not be done because it doesn't solve the entire problem need to stop in order for us to begin to make progress.
If I took a slightly less black and white stance, I would say that totally stand for privacy and human rights, in the United States.

Isn't is possible (yes) for people to care about principles in their homeland, where it matters to them more and impacts them more? I care a lot more about my hometown than BFE Chinese countryside, even though in principle I want them to have a living wage, decent time off, and good health care.

I am still angry at Apple, the NBA, Blizzard and the rest. I think this is a darker shade of grey, though.
"We should do whatever we can to preserve the coral reefs, but as usual, cataclysmic forecasts from scientists proved to be wrong yet again, and nature is a lot more resilient than expected."

Yet again, someone falsely ascribes views to scientists that they never had. I keep track of this stuff, and I don't know what forecasts you are talking about.

Actual forecasts (ipcc reports), if anything have been overly conservative. And they are grim. There is active research as to why they are overly conservative and reality is proceeding worse than the already grim forecasts.

In (quasi)defense of Google on this front:

On my Google Pixel 3a, I can download AOSP to my own computer, modify it how I wish, scrape the vendor dependencies I need[1], compile it myself, sign it myself, and use my own key to control what OS gets installed, then relock the bootloader so it only trusts updates using my key! I can choose not to use Google Play and then install whatever App I want on it.

I wish I could not have to use any proprietaryy binaries, but this is as close to an open device that you can get today [2].

[1] This is where the quasi defense comes in. AOSP has no official process to install all of the vendor binaries needed to support carriers. If you don't include this process you get broken SMS, Calling, WiFi Calling. This script helps you do it:
