>The solution to the Bay Area housing crisis is for employers to establish operations in places where housing is cheaper - not for housing to be confiscated from earlier purchasers through confiscatory taxation.

It's actually both.

>There is nothing emotional about suggesting that people choose to live and work in places they can afford to.

It is, within context. The proposal in question might have a net negative outcome for you, but be positive for the community. Further, while the status quo has full-time workers living on the street, readjusting this regulation and allowing a market correction to take place would presumably not ruin you, but simply force you to move. (Hey, you suggested it for others, should be good enough for you too.) In the end, though, you're against something that would ultimately be a boon for the area and is at least tenable for you. That's an emotional argument.
Makes sense actually.
> The possibility that a Libra node run by Mastercard or Andressen Horowitz would suddenly start running malicious code is such a bizarre scenario

It doesn't seem like a bizarre scenario at all. Consider:

- Real-time control system nodes in Iran's nuclear energy project suddenly started running malicious code, destroying a large number of their centrifuges.

- Crypto AG cipher machines sold to embassies around the world were always running malicious code (or perhaps malicious circuits), giving the US a major advantage in 20th-century diplomacy.

- Google's and Facebook's data centers suddenly started running malicious code as part of the PRISM attack carried out by the NSA.

- Municipalities regularly pay ransomware ransoms because their computers have suddenly started running malicious code.

- Numerous nonprofits organizing conferences have discovered to their dismay that the code running on Paypal's servers is malicious to them, opportunistically freezing their accounts because they have recently received a lot of payments.

- We saw an article last week about how WeChat runs malicious code in their chat application to censor politically controversial images.

- What was the name of that popular NPM package for building pipelines that suddenly started running malicious code on everybody's servers looking for Bitcoin wallets? Was that this year or last year?

I don't think it's at all far-fetched to suggest that if Mastercard or Andreessen Horowitz is in a position to decide how much of other people's money they're entitled to, they might decide that the answer is "all of it". Paypal and Google do this on a regular basis. Here in Argentina, the banking system decided that the answer was "75% of it" in 2001, with respect to dollars; in the US, the Federal Government did precisely the same thing in 1933 with gold.

"Regulators" and "courts" and "legislatures" are indeed among the parties that might decide to confiscate the holdings of participants in some kind of financial system, using various rationalizations. (And that's why "simply enforcing protocol integrity…through legal means" is a less effective solution, as you say.) But they are far from the only ones.

Still, it seems like if that's Fecebutt's motivation, it would just back Bitcoin.

What Internet Search Patterns Can Teach Us About Coping
It wasn't entirely 32bit. The core certainly was, but large chunks of the UI portions were still 16-bit hence for example there was a limit of 16,386 GDI objects across the whole OS so you would get resource depletion errors with many programs running especially if one or more of them "leaked" GDI handles. 16,386 comes from the fact that while they were four-byte (32-bit) values they were stared in a single 64Kbyte byte block of memory (the largest block byte-wise addressable by a single 16-bit register).

Looks like it's supporting what I said.

As for bubbles we are all living in them. For example, by being an American-based activist, you believe your US-centric disagreements around enforcement of immigration policies to be a global issue. Which looks funny for someone from outside, like me. I would say that long queues for cancer treatment in my country is more important for me. Your bubble is not holier then mine, or any other human out there.

Runtime Performance Optimization Blueprint: Large Code Pages
People still get bullied today for sure, but it is less than it was 30 years ago. There are kids today who grow up and have never gotten into a fist fight. This is incredible to me because as a child most of the boys would fight now and then.

Why does bullying appear to be more prevalent in the United States. I can only take guesses.

First guess would be because there has long been (since the founding) a strong vein of social darwinism in the US. For a very long time the idea of "rugged individualism" was held up as the model citizen. Independent, able to take care of him or herself without depending upon the authorities/government, etc. There is a fine line between "rugged individualism" and social darwinism.

Second, people in the US have long been taught to break the rules. We idolize rule breakers, rebels, and teach a general distrust of authority. In the US this attitude really resonates with the poor, as the systems we have set up do not serve them well. If you are wealthy or gifted it behooves you to follow the rules and use the systems put in place.

Third, maybe self-obsession is a factor. We encourage children to find themselves. Reflect on themselves. Figure out what is best for them. We don't often tell our young people to think of others, and even those that are taught to think of others are taught to the think of others in a patronizing, not empathizing way.

Finally, it might be the result of America's melting pot. We have always been a country of many cultures living together. The Italians, Germans, Irish, and later Hispanics, Africans, etc. all used to fight with each other in school. Today differences are more due to income and family status.
I suspect when companies start doing that you’ll see more people in our industry avoiding these unethical companies. It’s a fact that young people are demanding more ethical workplaces, even finance is adapting to the new labour market.

You will eventually simply end up with a bifurcated system with Tech companies that will do business with certain companies associated with one side of the aisle, and other who will not. The money is already moving in that direction. Rupert Murdock often quipped that he started Fox News to serve a niche market: half the country (US). Wait until you have the Fox News equivalent of Google and Facebook and Twitter, willing to serve the Pentagon and Oil Companies and the other half of the country. Careful what you wish for.
Show HN: Rap song about writing tests
I agree that the pharmaceutical industry spends a lot researching drugs. And so does the government eg [1].

In the situation of an imaginary future where patents are scrapped, pharmaceutical companies will be unlikely to continue to invest in the current fashion. I took GP to suggest that this would be an issue. I was trying to make the point that tax payers through something like NIH grants would be to take up the slack. Making the research available patent free so that generics can be manufactured.

Obviously this wouldn't be a simple transition and incredibly unlikely. But its an interesting intellectual exercise to think about.

Closer to perfection nonetheless.
What’s the worst bug you’ve ever dealt with?
JavaScript, another backend language, a SQL or a NoSQL DB, git, Linux/Unix.

Look at what backend languages are used in your area (PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, C#, JavaScript/Node.js) and learn one.

Look at what JavaScript frameworks are used in your area (Vue, React, Angular, Ember) and learn one.

Look at what DBs are being used in your area and chose one.

Learn Linux/Unix and how to get your frontend and backend choice running. Even if you never do this it will help you understand what you are doing way more.

Best choose for something common in your area. The idea is to get you working soon because real work will get you farther then a long list of hobby projects. Set up a github account and throw out a few projects. Use a CSS framework, even if you know what you are doing with CSS you will get lost in it and waste a lot of time you should be spending understanding frontend and backend programming.

If you have the possibility to spend two weeks or a month without pay (because you live at home) see if you can get an internship somewhere where they will put you to work. After that search for a paying job, with no experience you probably won’t get something good, but you will learn enough. As soon as you’ve got some chops switch jobs, maybe even language and move to a company that has talented people. Learn from as much from them as you can.

Now comes the hard part, search for a language, operating system, app or something else that interests you. If you have a small hobby project that you love, that has nothing to do with work (this is very important) it is way easier to keep the passion for what you are doing.

You don’t always have a lot of choices locally when it comes to languages, tools, DBs and so on and moving is often not worth losing your support network for, especially when you are first getting started since you will fuck up as your idea and industry reality start to converge.

I personally blame the people who thought it would be a good idea to buy a $350-400k home with a predatory mortgage, when their gross annual income was like $25k/yr.

Granted the banks made the instruments available for people to get into this mess, but I always come back to personal responsibility:

I was in law enforcement at the state level. I can relate to this. I drive by a highway patrol unit on the side of the road and recall the years I spent out there getting hit by cars, sweating my butt off, wiping blood off me, and generally dealing with the mental illnesses of society. I learned to live within my means doing it, but now? Goodness the money is amazing. I do Cybersecurity now, so the mindset is quite similar. I have a lot of federal LE contacts that keep me in the modern-day loop of technical crimes. I’m having a blast and getting paid real money. This is my second career. If I could start over I would not go into LE at all. Having kids at an early age required me to start something with benefits. I settled for public service.
Well, this citation: "For instance, after San Francisco Unified de-tracked math, the proportion of students failing algebra fell from 40 percent to 8"

But as you can see, the change involved moving Algebra 1 from eight grade to ninth grade. Withholding this fact is pretty egregious in my opinion.

I tried looking for the other numbers she mentions by following her links, but the links she provided didn't contain those numbers. And the pdf I linked here wasn't provided by her, in fact not a single one of the numbers she used were supported by her links. I'd guess that the other numbers have similar problems as this one, but I can't know since she didn't provide a way for me to see where those numbers came from.

About the conflict between her and the others, it is hard to know who is right or not so I don't know. But judging by this opinion piece she cares more about her agenda than actual truth.
Hey, thanks for comment!
You are right, it uses debugger output.

This is opinionated custom visualization, and I do not have some generic tool here. I think it is possible to do it, but it will be

* generic, like pythontutor - it misses "meaning" of what's happening, just showing the facts without emphasis

* specific cases for popular data structures (I thinking about that way)

* hand-made every time (like a Disney in old good times) - hard work =)

I'm just scratched my own itch, and learned vue.js + vuex + a bit of modern frontend during this project.
a quick Google search shows that public school teachers get paid as much as or more than a typical LCSW, so I'm not sure why getting these kids help would inherently be super expensive unless you want to also increase the adult-to-student ratio for them by a lot.

even if it's a bit more expensive per student, my guess is it would be very cost effective at improving outcomes for the rest of the kids.
From what I understand the nature of trademark law is that if you don't defend your trademark, you lose it. It's not nice, but what are they supposed to do? Abandon their trademark?

Critically this isn't quite correct.

The handle (IIRC the FIDO spec calls it a cookie but that doesn't matter) is NOT chosen by the relying party (in this case a SSH server you're logging into). It's chosen by the token itself during the enrollment process and given to the relying party with the other results of enrollment to be stored.

The token will use local random data in addition to random data supplied by the relying party for choosing a private key (and thus in the design you describe, the handle). This is a common design choice in cryptographic systems because it means if either Alice OR Bob really used random numbers the results are truly random, things only go badly if both parties defect.

In WebAuthn this means if you use your token to enroll with Google, and Facebook, and say Twitter, so long as the people who built the token did a good job it won't matter if both Google and Facebook are trying to betray you and deliberately didn't use random data, they can't attack your Twitter account this way.

Edit: refer to the device as a "token" not a key for clarity

What constitutes a generic term? Could I use Rottweiler as a trademarked brand? What about Dog or Canine? What if I combined “generic” terms like DogHead?

I think this proposal is too obtuse. These cases bother us because the man who founded Backcountry Denim was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt to have intended to encroach on the “backcountry.com” brand, nor was it proven that he failed to take reasonable precautions to avoid doing so. If that is the fair and just way to rule on these cases then that should be made to be the way that the judiciary rules. Proof of innocence beyond a reasonable doubt may not be exactly the right burden of proof in this case but the point stands that changing how the judges rule would solve more problems than arguing the semantics of the term “generic”.

Do you think that it's possible to have your mind hijacked by apathy?

Do you think that it's possible to have your mind hijacked by your identity?

Morality is not what is being pointed to here, morality is relative and a projection of the mind.

It's futile to try to awaken anyone else, because people cannot see past their present level of consciousness. Skeptics in particular often cannot be skeptical of their skepticism which makes them just as ideological about rationality as any religious belief.

But I am open to the possibility that this is wrong, and that politics is just another activity that you can avoid to zero detriment, and that being maximally selfish has plenty of workability in creating a better world for the future. And also it's obviously part of human evolution.

I'm open to participating in politics being for some people and not for others.

I'm not sure if buying companies would have the same effect in a world where APIs are mostly open.

For example, Facebook buying WhatsApp: The value in WhatsApp was the network effect of having 500mil+ users all tied into the same proprietary server infrastructure. Switching to another service means losing the ability to cross communicate with anyone still on the platform. If Whatsapp's API was open, it could have allowed the users to fragment onto different servers while still cross communicating.

I'm not sure that people are really expecting to see the end of oil, including for plastic; more likely it's the necessity to ramp up rhetoric. If you demand "the end of oil", you might get a few percentage reduction in production. If you demand "a small decrease in production", you get nothing.

Mind you, the plastics process itself produces greenhouse gases, and occasionally the hugely wasteful event of flaring. Every now and again either Exxon or Shell lights a huge volume of gas on fire which can be seen in a fifty mile radius near my house to remind us that individual action on CO2 emission is meaningless.
