Capitalism has a built-in failure mode. As Peter Thiel (not exactly a commie, him) points out, capitalism only functions in its failure mode. The ideal world that all the economists and conservative politicians argue for, where pure competition sets the price, is a race to zero. In ideal capitalism, profit is impossible. Profit only happens where there is friction that prevents the market from working fully.
Why? So what?
As a regular user and promoter of REPL.it, I like it very much and therefore submitted two PR’s [1][2] after seeing a blog post about how to contribute to it [3].

Unfortunately, those PR’s have been lingering up there for the past 4 months without any meaningful feedback. I fully understand that you are a business and therefore there are priorities but it would be great to get any kind of feedback on them in order for me proceed with further actions one way or another.

Anyway, thank you for providing such a nice tool for free and open-sourcing it!

There's also the fun factor. Mechanical watches on the cheap end are usually not very good at keeping time compared to a quartz watch, and they stop if you don't wear them for a couple of days! Still, people buy mechanical watches and wear them diligently to keep the rotor moving.

It's a bit like driving manual. There's fun in taking care of a machine that responds promptly to your body movement and adapts to your lifestyle, even if there are plenty of alternatives that require no such care.
It seems like this is pretty obviously what Nintendo would prefer, and can probably put it in their terms of service. It would shock me if this weren't being driven by Nintendo, much more so than Amazon.

When Google News did their redesign, it made the service essentially useless to me. I replaced it by installing Tiny Tiny RSS on my home webserver, which aggregates RSS feeds and makes them available in its own RSS feeds. I read the news using the web interface and (when mobile), using the Android gReader app.

That solution is even better for me than Google News was, and a big part of why is that it dramatically increased discovery of new things. Not only can I easily follow sites I use regularly, including HN, but I've included the feeds of a few aggregators that I appreciate to increase the amount of new stuff I see.

While you might be right, is it not also possible that they delivered some key capabilities that were unique (autonomous carrier landing!?) to reach the strike objective, realized it wouldn't meet all of them so pivoted to ISR (of which I recall there being a shortage of assets so maybe more demand with other strike programs going on in 2012?) then looked to the tanker mission after realizing there were other things that it maybe couldn't do as well as other platforms for the ISR purpose?

In startup language you might say the team "pivoted"?

I'm not saying that's what happened here as bureaucracy often causes these nightmares, but it's possible there were a lot of good intentions / approaches at play as well.
That's a great answer, thanks. I think it's really interesting to see how differently both open source projects are managed and maintained.
Hedonic adaptation works both ways, you would normally equalize to the same level after the cut, so it is a good thing.

For regular folk, the book is Discipline & Punish in English translation

You're explanation is fairly academic and I think we can be a little more concrete. Focault's point is really that discussions of power in the West tend to revolve around law and right, jurisprudence, when in fact the exercise of power qua something that alters your behavior is in almost every relationship we enter into with other human beings, no matter how anonymous: when we go to school (which is modeled on factories), when we go to work at the factory (where they wanna know how long you take having a piss) or (as many of us here are familiar with) the office, when we pack onto the train for the commute (which to me is a place where our behavior definitely meets up with the practical definition of panopticism, e.g. we act as if everyone is watching everyone else), when we "come out the closet" (despite being a 'practicing homosexual', for lack of a better term, Foucault was not comfortable being labeled gay, and its speculated that the conditions around his death by HIV were exacerbated by this; as well, I find sexuality to be strongly policed on all sides in America).

None of this is new in history, but modernity ramped up the scale and intensity to previously unseen levels (much like everything else)
Yeah, it also helps with auto-completion and makes refactoring reliable.

From my experience type annotations in python are actually more reliable than types in Go.
So: They gave a talk at an OS conference. When people asked, they shipped a tape. The only thing less than that they could have done is not give the talk and not shipped the tapes. Which, had they done so, it is true that UNIX would not have taken off.

Which technically makes your claim true. But if you define marketing that broadly, it also makes your claim completely uninteresting. It boils down to "Things that are developed in house, and never talked about to anyone outside, and never shipped to anyone outside, do not take over the outside world". That's true, but it's trivially uninteresting.

You seem to be much more focused on the technical definition of marketing than on the very real differences between the "marketing" of C and UNIX vs. that of, say, Java.

And back to the original point: The marketing of Go has been much closer to the "marketing" of C than to the slick sales job of Java.

You will most likely find everything you’re looking for on the Xbins FTP! You just need to join the IRC, !list, and the bot will privmsg you with access information: https://xbins.org/faq.php

The “Auto Xbins” tool (linked on the same page) is the easiest way to get access, since it combines an IRC client and FTP client and automates the entire connection process for you. Every antivirus in the world will flag and quarantine it, however, because the IRC component looks exactly like malware command&control as far as they’re concerned. The convenience makes it worth manually whitelisting, in my opinion.

You don't need GPS to navigate, but without one you'll want to own a decent map.

Before GPS people just carried paper maps in their cars. It's harder to find paper maps at a gas station now, but if you're preparing for a long road trip, it's not a terrible idea to just bring along a paper map to start with.
> when the carrier is targeted by any number of modern armaments and is quickly relocated to the ocean floor.

I assume carriers aren't required to remain operational perpetually. They are instrumental to ensure the attacker has enough air power to support an invasion and once they gain a foothold then air operations are shifted to airfields.

This person didn't know (or at least didn't know how to say) which of the several "most common use cases" they wanted to actually accomplish. I think most of the value of this question comes from the distinctions the top voted answers make between "temporarily navigate to", "delete local progress", "publish the reverse of the published changes"; all three of these are very common operations. The actual commands git uses to accomplish these aren't important, and this question should be popular in any distributed version control system. It doesn't matter how much sense the names of your commands make, someone starting out won't know that these three things can even be accomplished.
Oh. That’s strange — I got an email from Hacker News this morning asking me to repost it because it didn’t gain traction originally, so I reposted it.
The economic value of art is based on what someone is willing to pay for it. That's very different from value in general.

Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is probably the most valuable painting in the world, a canonical work recognized instantly by probably half the world's population. Van Gogh died penniless. He gave away his paintings for food and wine.

Does that mean "Starry Night" was worthless when Van Gogh painted it, just because no one would pay him for it? Or is the intrinsic value of the painting distinct from its economic value?

No I get it, her formula is about ideal shapes (of bridges).
It is still misleading. They could have written "who reshaped bridges".

I suppose Grothendieck reshaped Mathematics - he invented a new way of looking at things, that made it possible to prove a host of new things.

In a sense perhaps every mathematical result reshapes mathematics. But they used it here to inflate her importance, to make it seem outrageous that she was supposedly forgotten. As if many Mathematicians are being remembered in general.

That's not the point. The point is that it is a lie to claim she was forgotten because she was a woman.
The point is that if you're communicating with someone via Google, encryption terminates at Google, not with the other party.
I would say there is a 50/50 chance that the government has access to any http certificates that it needs to crack any https session that they would like to crack. The Patriot Act created secret courts to enable this type of stuff. They're well known to rubber stamp any warrant that comes through.
> wish you could "mount" a git repo as a drive in Windows, and all changes would be auto-committed to a branch as soon as a file is saved, and that branch were auto-merged to master as long as tests pass. Then people without git knowledge can work as before.

When it gets to the point where you can only sell your items in one or two places where no one ever goes to buy things you've effectively broken the right of first-sale.

We're not at that point yet, but Amazon's reach is unparalleled and we could easily end up in a situation where private companies, whose influence in our daily lives can dwarf that of our governments, are allowed to ignore the hard won rights we have leaving us in the same position we were in before we had them.

Feeling burnt out is not a luxury and not a choice. Not even a bit.
I have seen this at other companies too.

The last 10 years have seen substantial increases in big tech company wages. The tech companies have increased compensation for senior and established folks too, but sometimes the new grads and new hires are riding the biggest wave. Switching jobs can also produce a similar boost if you are caught in this scenario.

I have been developing web applications in Ruby on Rails since 2006 as both a hobbyist and a professional, in addition to other Ruby frameworks such as Padrino or Hanami. I am seeking challenging problems that engage my creativity and desire to build neatly architected, functional, and well-tested apps. Very open to opportunities to do more front-end development (particularly in React), or move into other languages and frameworks such as Elixir or Phoenix.
A novel in a foreign language is just squiggly lines on paper too.

Part of abstract art not understood is just that, a foreign language. Part of it is a navel gazing community congratulating itself. Part of it is a popularity contest with random winners.

It’s the problem with a specialty which is tending towards a singularity: quality becomes ever harder to judge and by ever fewer people who must dedicate ever more time to even understand. There are lots of hangers on who have only vague ideas about the quality and as a result the field gets overrun with nonsense. That doesn’t mean there is nothing there.
It's especially weird that their methodology reports "0% secure" traffic as recently as June 2016.

Be careful what you wish for here. Since Obamacare, most white collar workers will admit that their insurance is worse and simultaneously more expensive. That's to be expected, because those who pay insurance and are healthy are now paying for many people who previously had less of a safety net. No free lunch and all.

Obamacare has twisted some of the incentives of actually working, though. Many of us in groups like /r/financialindependence have calculated that it is now to our advantage to eventually quit work altogether, structure our investments and distributions to ensure we are right below the line where subsidies (from those who continue to work) will pay our way, while we just exit the game itself.

It will do nothing but screw those who continue to work themselves ragged as they are now subsidizing many people, like my possible future self, who have many dollars hoarded away, but refuse to be forced to work for everyone else any longer without the extra renumeration that is now sucked out by the government. And this is one of the problems with socialism.

If things move to a single payer social system under a Warren or Sanders presidency, I'd probably quit my job tomorrow. Those who continue to play the game will be working more and more for less and less.

This is/ will be part of the dividend from TLS 1.3 encrypting more of the handshake.

Historically deploying a feature like delegated credentials was impractical because some large and unpredictable fraction of connections would go like this:

Popular Web Browser: "Hi, I want to talk TLS 1.2 to somesite.example, I know how to handle DelegatedCredentials if you've got any"

Some Site: "Hi, here's our delegated credentials for somesite.example and now let's..."

"Security" MITM Box: "Oh no you don't scumbag! I don't recognise that certificate - FIN. FIN. This connection is an attack!"

With TLS 1.3 that MITM box's operator has to make a decision up front, since it can't understand the part where the remote server actually identifies itself because that's now encrypted. It can either just give up and let the Popular Web Browser do TLS 1.3 unmolested and not break random features OR it can proxy everything and then since it doesn't claim to understand DelegatedCredentials the remote server won't bother trying to use them.

This way if you have middle boxes everything stays no worse than before, but if you don't you get the benefit of new features.

Unfortunately although TLS 1.3 makes it possible to begin deploying this, the end game which reaps the benefits seems a bit fraught. But hey, can't get there if you don't start.
I believe the OP is talking about encryption for user data, not merely for transport.

Google, Amazon, &tc still store user data uninhibited and though they are often competent about security, they also often provide data to state actors as a normal course of action. The fact the a web browser communicates safely with an endpoint doesn't mean that endpoint isn't a bad apple itself. In some cases these endpoints are logging proxies to other servers and services, and though transport is again encrypted, the data is normally accessible by operators of such services.

Cloud computing has taken away the ownership of data from individuals, and that sounds like it has seeds of some kind of a revolution brewing.
Isn't this easily solvable by the URL based codes have to have a signature and other verification that the browser can enforce? So instead of a link to paypal to pay me, it is a link to the bar's website and that site has a paypal popup originated from the bar's website.
