Two that I have encountered:

Aspera: a high-performance data transfer suit, used in genetics and the film industry. I wrote a blog post about it a year ago and still get near-daily emails asking me if there is an open source alternative yet. QUIC may provide a basis for a solution, but it needs to be explored.

PDMS: software for planning, modeling and simulating oil and gas plants. Main two commercial suites are AVEVA PDMS and Autocad Plant 3D. AVEVA PDMBS is upwards of $1,000 per seat per month (!), so not feasible for projects which I have in mind (more on that in the new year). I'd imagine that Blender could be used as a starting point for a Free alternative, but I'm not sure. This is a tougher one.

I would tread very carefully. As a midwesterner who has also worked in SV, you would likely come off as that arrogant brat. I'd mentally frame it in those cultural terms rather than beliefs: When in Rome do as the Romans do.
Ha, I feel the same way about Biryani. You can eat a Biryani at N different places, and no two taste alike.
Peak demand is much lower than the total number of actual subscribers many ISP run as much as 30% deficit these days.

This is not healthy or impressive, and it may be the first sign of dementia for many people.
As someone who made this choice (not going away to an expensive school), I still regret it. I went to a local school and lived at home, almost everyone I knew moved away. I never developed the same social circle as my friends who went away did. There were so many experiences I missed out on and opportunities that were closed to me because I wasn’t where the action was. I don’t have any memorable college stories to tell or any connections with reach outside of the local community. It stifled my growth professionally and socially, and I would not recommend it.
Discovered later in life that being lit is about the only time I really feel like a normal human being (socially and emotionally). And certainly people seem to enjoy conversing with me far more when we're both drinking.

Is that awful? I guess, but lots of things in life are.
Maybe through the GUI, it's a single step with the CLI.
> Most socialists (and certainly all of the originators and main theorists) would contend that socialism represents a pure qualitative break with capitalism

That's the kind of black and white thinking we need to do away with. "Purity" is fun for theorists to talk about but in practice we basically never want pure systems.

Anyhow, how can capitalism and socialism coexists? Well, it already does! Every democracy which levies taxes to run shared services is partly socialist, since these means of production are jointly owned. You can even see the taxes as a way for the people to extract profits from every venture, for example in Sweden the state spends around 50% of GDP so it already owns 50% of everything even if the papers says otherwise, you can't come and say that something which can extract 50% of all value from something doesn't really own it! And every country where you can start, run and profit from companies are partly capitalist. Hence all western nations are partly socialist and partly capitalist. They are on different parts of this spectrum.

For example, most roads are socialist, you don't have to pay to drive on them even though they cost a lot of money. Very few argue that we need less socialist roads and more capitalist roads with toll booths.
I always wonder if the public considers the Netflix UX to be as bad as it is considered here on Hacker News. I've noticed this with Airpods too. We as (mostly) tech people will deride a product and predict it's decline but it will have record sales and seem popular in the world. I have heard a few grumblings about the content library out in the wild, but in general people seem pretty excited and keen on Netflix.

I know that everytime I happen to watch cable TV with commercials the experiences feels a bit dated; I can only imagine what it feels like for the 20 and under crowd.
I've been classified as a creative my entire professional life and I absolutely consider a work dinner to be... well... work. When I'm doing something on the company's behalf, of course it's work. There's no need to be so hostile on hn.
I think your definition of capitalism is a bit far-reaching.
Doesn’t this ignore all the regulatory hurdles these companies have had to deal with to be able to be that middleman? Uber, for example, has done a whole lot of work, not all legal, to get cities to agree to let them operate. I suspect that a few kids in a garage trying to be the next Uber are going to end up stumped when cities tell them no (and they won’t have the lobbying power to make cities reconsider)
Alternatively: Why not let the people actually making the distros decide what and what not to throw in them? Users can decide what to use, and users have decided to let Canonical win.

I don't use Ubuntu, and you don't have to either! It's almost like there are millions of Linux distributions!
Does this work for unloading followed by summary execution?

It says it's useable for developing code for the CSME, does that take care of the whole thing or are there ROM areas left which cannot be worked around?
So long as the underlying data sets are still available, this sounds like something that could be taken up by an NGO or advocacy group such as the Sierra Club. If anything it could benefit from better exposure and more funding.
Your entire post is about AOC, who has spent less than two years in office. My statement was about the (non-)events in the democratic party 25-30 and 10-15 years ago. The "AOC as a bogeyman" talking points are a transparent attempt to derail the discussion along the lines the GOP wants.

I agree we've seen a shift in the democratic party - not yet in its leadership - in the past 2-4 years (beginning with Sanders, its first major electoral effects in the 2018 midterms). What does that have to do with what happened 10-15 years ago?

What did happen 10-15 years ago is Obama's election. Obama's politics do not place him in the left of the democratic party, and in some areas he's firmly in the right part.

So what's the objection to what happened 10-15 years ago, but not 30 years ago? To put it more bluntly - What's the biggest difference between Obama and Bill Clinton? One hint: it's not any political policy.

And why, if the objection is supposed to be about support for the working class, is what's happening in the past 2-4 not good? The return to labor rights as a central plank of the party should be drawing people back if that's the reason they left, but apparently it's not.
I think it's not just black and white.

Is college universally useful? No, it may leave you without knowledge on how to earn decent money, while crippling you with a heavy debt.

Is college completely useless? No, it's quite useful for some, and even indispensable for certain professions (e.g. medical doctors).

I'd say that college is useful for those who actively extract knowledge and experience from it, and that knowledge can help pay the tuition. This is definitely not 100% of students. Going to college just to hang out with kids and obtain a diploma for decoration, expecting to be passively taught, or studying stuff no business wants to pay for, is silly, of course.
In the early days of the automobile there were hundreds of manufactures in the US alone IIRC. This seems similar in terms of seeing a lot of folks taking a shot at it.

We're seeing a similar thing in China.

Most of the companies have no chance as they're behind the ball on tech, logistics, etc.
More than that, many degrees (especially in the liberal arts) are, economically speaking, luxury goods. They may teach things that benefit society on some level, but the cost of procuring them isn't offset by low wages and scarcity of the relevant jobs.

In a way, they form a bit of a poverty / class mobility trap for those who aren't well off enough to afford them on their own but are attracted by the idea of a purpose-driven life (social work, librarian, historian, identity studies come to mind).
One of the things that technology enables is lower barriers to entry. In the past, you had to be horizontally integrated to make a car. Even Tesla, to some extent is massively horizontally integrated as they are first movers.

Technology enables global supply chains. Electric cars may have fewer moving parts. The result is a "narrower" approach to integration where you can rely on others for important or critical parts.

Assuming they can make this car reliable and cheap - the makers only need to focus on marketing and selling to make it successful.
This looks like an opportunity for some aspiring web developer to put together their own map. I'm sure there's a nonprofit that would be willing to host it.
No, to follow the analogy: The supervisor trusted that person to only put in requests that are actually work-related. Just because the process says "supervisor approves" doesn't mean that it absolves the subordinate of responsibility.

So in this case process was followed, yeah. But trust was broken, and it only stands to reason that Google would fire this employee because of it. All other stuff is secondary and pollutes the discussion.
Alcohol is a killer. I'm thinking more and more that without cutting it out after you realize you've "been there done that", a person will never reach their potential.
What’s your scope? One obvious answer is Google search.
Not the coolest exactly, but I've used Unsplash's API to generate random high quality images for projects a surprising amount of times:

Yea, this whole piece misses the fact that when a human is doing this maneuver, planning for all inputs is dynamic (not pre-cached) using feedback loop. We adjust as necessary (unless hitting a limit) to put the car in place. It is not like we plan the whole process and then close our eyes, execute all inputs and voila! car is now parked!
People should really expect Ubuntu to call home. This is the same OS that for a while used to send every filesystem search you did in the default GUI to Amazon so that it could include ads in the results.

I'm not even saying this is bad. Ubuntu has to fund itself somehow. But people should really know what they're getting. Ubuntu is not a privacy-focused or user-centric OS. It's the Windows of the Linux/Unix world.
That may be the case, but I'd still wager that, for the majority, self-study isn't a viable route - particularly in technology.

(And, IMHO, the many alternatives to academia aren't nearly the rosey picture you purport, particularly for people who hope to be sure of employment in a decade or two. It's clear that, while many will still be here, many won't.)
> It's not a position you're put into with WhatsApp or any other app.

Sure it is! You can't continue a group conversation from WhatsApp -- or any other messenger, really -- on another messenger service without manually recreating the group. There is literally nothing which makes iMessage unique in this regard.
> The industry doesn't seem to have learned from this.

I think industries follow the money. If the end user doesn't absolutely demand security features, then there won't be such features. Typically people who obsess about security build a product that provides security as a product (vs. a camera as a product).

The guy who wrote Minix makes this argument (and no, he doesn't dislike Linux Torvalds): There are solutions to security problems, but you need to be interested in them in the first place. The military for example is interested in microkernels because in their case security is critical. Minix I believe is written more for reliability (e.g.: uptime) and (better) security comes as a added benefit.
the generalizations pg makes are too broad.

> The defining quality of an ideologue, whether on the left or the right, is to acquire one's opinions in bulk. You don't get to pick and choose. Your opinions about taxation can be predicted from your opinions about same-sex marriage.

Now,if a person were a conservative christian, them being a conservative would drive their position on taxation, while being christian would drive their position on gay marriage, however that alone would not make them an idealogue.

I think the idealogue is one who has come to his position, without considering the opposite position, thereby discounting it completely.
I am saying this as a spectator observing politics in the region. I don't want to undermine the PR value of this announcement, but Turkey appears to have capability to pull this off. Now if you said Poland..
> a lot of people with equipment sending deauthentication packages

Why do they do that?
This would be like saying children are the reason parents exist.

From an evolutionary standpoint, kind of.

In nature there are a bunch of species that have one/all of the parents die after the offspring are conceived/born. The same applies for Linux distributions a surprising amount of the time.

shallow library

Is this true? Lately I stumbled upon some movies made in India. And suddenly there was a whole new catalog available.

I think it just sucks to discover new content because you always get stuck in the 'more like this' search loop.
This is perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I wish Canonical would just charge a small amount to download Ubuntu. I don't pay money for Ubuntu, everyone I know doesn't pay for Ubuntu. Nothing is free. Individuals and corporations need to make money. I just hate that adds are the default instead of charging me a few dollars for useful software.
I gotta say this makes a surprising amount of sense.

- Turkey is the perfect size for a relatively beefy electric car battery to make through in one charge, effectively removing the range anxiety.

- This car will likely be immediately competitive in at least the Turkish market because Turkish taxes are crazy on transport. Gasoline is taxed at ~70%, cars are taxed at 68% (50% + 18% VAT). A domestic car will probably avoid the 50% on purchase and a domestic electric car will entirely avoid taxes on gas. Taxes make this a good deal at almost any price the average Turkish consumer can buy.

- With the current very low, out of whack exchange rate (1USD:6TRY) this will also become competitive in at least Southern European markets fairly fast as well.

- Since this is government sponsored they can also do a fairly fast rollout of electric charging stations by offering generous incentives. If that doesn’t work, they have the eminent domain hammer, and they will definitely just build it themselves as part of the electric service.

- This also avoids the heavy industry required to build ICE cars, which has environmental costs. That cause is becoming popular with the electorate as well, exemplified in the stiff backlash against the country’s first nuclear reactor.

- Lastly, Turkey has been building cars for the past 35 years and it’s gotten pretty good at it - many of the entry to mid level marques of European conglomerates are built in Turkish factories. This is an entry into luxury segment, it is not an entry into car manufacturing. That knowledge of being able to build safe and solid European cars already exists in there. If you’ve visited Europe, you likely already ridden a Turkish-made car (taxis) and if you live in Europe, chances are you might own one without knowing.

- As a bonus point, I would say the choice of an Italian designer over a Turkish one bodes well for the effort because somebody actually made a level headed, reasoned call on this and not a nationalistic one.
This gets really messy.

People are being harmed. There are people (let's be charitable and assume that the set does not include TeMPOral) who want to do nothing, because they aren't among the people being harmed.

Then there's a second set of people (let's be charitable and assume that the second set does include TeMPOral) who see the harm, and care about the harm, but are unsure how far to go toward fixing it, because the wrong action (or too much of the right action) can do more harm than good, even to the people you are trying to help.

And then you have the problem that the first set of people are trying to sound very much like the second set of people (and maybe even to convince themselves that they are the second set of people).
I think there's something to be said for the nature of the work you are doing. If you absolutely love what you're doing, you can burn hours long and fast and hard. I think Elon gets his head wrapped around a problem and just eats lives and breathes that problem to the point that the long hours are natural. I've been there on stuff, where I have to fight to tear myself away rather than fighting to keep myself doing it. The latter sucks and will destroy you quickly, but the former isn't so bad for the psyche.
You’re not aware of Hillary as Saul Alinsky’s disciple? It was a right wing staple for the entire campaign.
all excellent goals scarface, may you meet these resolutions this upcoming year!
There is no free. Free means Janet's dad who didn't go to college get to pay additional so Bill's son goes for free. When resources are free, they become either worthless or completely over-utilized. If you make college free, that means colleges will still charge for classes, still charge for books, still charge for dorm rooms, etc. They'll send their bills to the government, to pay with increased tax dollars. They'll increase their rates to the gov't also. Professors and administrators aren't working for free. Groundskeepers either. TA's won't either because now they don't have tuition. Professors workloads just increased because normally they have TA's to teach and grade for them. So more professors are hired. Notice anything interesting? College costs which keep increasing as long as easy student loans are available, (and are responsible for the higher costs) just went up more. Now taxes are increasing and additional gov't administration for programs are implemented. Looks like a major redistribution of wealth, from taxpayers to educational institutions. :-/ This is my surprised face.
Informatics Engineering is a professionalized field in some countries.

What happens in Portugal is that although most people tend not to do the admission exam, all universities that give engineering degrees (including in computing) need to be certified by the order, and signing legal contracts for projects as Engineer does require the exam approval.

Why do people always have to shoehorn capitalism in any argument?

Removing inconvenient truths has been done and will be done under any system. Be it tribal, religious, monarchist, communist, capitalist, or a loose band of tree huggers. It really does not matter.

It's not the nose blowing, it's the change to winter and dry air that does it. Humidifier in the bedroom at night helps a ton.

Where the median is depends where the extremes are. Overton window I think is the fitting term here. The Overton window in the US might be shifted such that in other countries a moderate here might be perceived to be quite right wing there.

Chomsky put it well when describing this phenomenon:

---
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum—even encourage the more critical and dissident views.
---

> I'm not sure why. Perhaps it means that the far right is less ideological than the far left

I think it is because left opinions, even in mainstream media and social discourse do not get the immediate push-back and derision, but are treated more of like confusion or maybe immaturity. Say, if we see someone waving the Soviet flag in the streets at a protest we just sort of shrug at it instead of have a visceral reaction to it.

Wow, you might be right, but I've never seen a P/E ratio that high (125). Do you think it might be due for a correction?
Private colleges increasingly practice perfect price discrimination making it an incredibly high income tax on the middle class.

A small few give breaks for academically better students, or don't attempt to fully maximize their price (e.g. Harvard could easily charge $100k/year), but for the great majority, the price you pay is basically "as much as you can".

Because of subsidized student loans and jobs that require "credentialization", there's guaranteed supply and guaranteed demand for these rather expensive slots, and no incentive to deliver quality education at a lower price.

Until there's either a dramatic decline in wealthy college students, a drop in government loan support, a decline in the proportion of jobs that absolutely require a BA, or some sort of innovation in virtual college, I don't see this changing.

Telling a kid that you aren't willing to
It's a common trope, e.g. a few years ago the GOP argued it couldn't pass any laws (despite controlling the Executive, Judiciary, & both chambers of Congress) because of the obstruction of the left. Or see various conspiracies that involve a weak, stupid, inept, and foolish government conducting a vast, brilliant, collaborative coverup of the most sophisticated technology on earth.
Country specific, others still have such exams in place.
Well we’re actually talking about vaping, but I’d still like you to answer my question.

Also, you are constantly putting other people at risk as well. Taking any form of transport, cooking, living in a house that has either electricity or natural gas, playing any form of sport, living in a house made from flammable material. If you want to include emotional or psychological harm, then add the very act of existence to the list. All of that and countless other things you do every day puts other people at risk. So again, why should you have the right to do anything at all that put yourself or anybody else at risk of harm?
> after two elections, still no agreement on Prime Minister. Third election coming up.

Parlamentary systems without the option to call re-elections is an attractive alternative. The politicians just can't keep asking people's opinion until they get the answer they want.

Then there will have to be compromises, and even the smaller parties can get some of their important causes through.
You've said this twice in the thread now. No major politician in the US says that and just saying "for socialism" cheapens the debate here.
This is a bit tangential to the topic at hand, but do you believe that their previous experience at DARPA made the company's culture/workflow distinct from other startups in any significant way?
Estimation – how can we estimate with confidence in software development?
You shouldn't attempt to always be "switched on" as that is usually counter productive. Just measure what your current production level is, write it down, and make an effort to stay consistent or improve. That way when you set your goals for the day, you know what you can comfortably achieve, and when you acheive it, you know to stop or risk it affecting your next day negatively.
> The odds are very low.

The odds are very high for post-9/11 veterans (and higher the more of their period of service is post-9/11 within that group), who are more likely to have been deployed and seen combat than veterans of earlier eras (both because of optempo and organizational changes that have increased the teeth to tail ratio of uniformed services as support functions have been moved to contracted support.)

There are ample actual studies of this, we don't need to rely on the “sample size” of competing anecdotal reports.
