Your comment seemed to imply that a network of pedophiles in Congress was tailoring these laws specifically to weaken law enforcement's ability to prosecute people like them. That would certainly lead to a societal impact, as it would by design empower and entrench child pornographers and pedophiles across the board.
I don’t see the difference between running a Flash app with no sand boxing whatsoever and a random executable.
You're right, but that's supposed to be an initial pitch, not the whole thing :)

In short, it's going to be about rethinking how we build and consider innovations in materials, in use of spaces, in reducing customization to improve efficiency. I am planning to write a long essay about it. But a lot of it is already in my head. Sorry I can't share anything more meaningful here at the moment.

BauGruppen: super interesting. Didn't know about them. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Again, you're playing semantic games. That's not what "conservative" means in modern political discourse, at all. And I'm sure you know this. In fact when journalists want to use the sense you cited they generally have to call it out explicitly (c.f. "small-c conservative", by reference to the Conservative parties in commonwealth nations).

> I don't know what other word to use besides "authoritarian"

And for the same reasons, it doesn't help your case to invent new jargon here either. The word you're looking for, describing people generally predisposed to agreement with existing social and government structures, is "centrist". It's what I use, it's what everyone in journalism uses. It's probabaly what you use too when you're talking to people in the real world and not trying to score points with hyperbole on HN by likening centrists to Nazis and Communists.

Basically: you know what I meant.
Every time that HN gets talking about poverty and how it's easy to "just budget!" my eyes almost roll out of my head because I'm damn-near certain every one of us here is making enough to support ourselves, or is being setup to support ourselves in the future (ie: school). We're so far removed from the actual experience of what it's like to "pull yourself up by the bootstraps".

If you've been around extreme poverty you know how expensive it is to be poor... You're talking jobs that demand overtime to keep the position, old cars breaking down every other month, being more prone to health problems, the cost of education, the real cost of debt, lower COL housing and theft, etc etc.

I'll argue that those who are advantageous, responsible, and disciplined can absolutely budget/work themselves into a better situation like OP suggests (ABSOLUTELY without children) - but if you've been around poverty (esp. in America) you know that this type of person is the exception and not the rule.

Not disagreeing with anyone - just want to point out that most poor people aren't going to be able to get themselves out of that situation with "just budget!" advice when most of them can't do simple math and/or can barely read... let alone delay instant gratification (drugs/alcohol) for long-term prosperity (positive goals/aspirations).

I agree with your comment so much. Thank you for pointing out how quickly OP's "just budget!" advice breaks down..!
Maybe it would be a fair deal if all members of the government equally open all their communication, including all their private matters to the entire world. Equal monks, equal hoods. They are honest people that have nothing to hide, not? I mean, exemplary people should be an example to the people.
Yes I worded that poorly. Because even today a lot of these ships undertake these kinds of missions.

But imagine if you could retool these ships with a singular primary goal of disaster relief. Imagine if every carrier group was some internationally funded disaster response team.

Being open source does not ensure software is bug free but its highly highly likely to not be malicious. Usually malware authors don't actually write software, they tack it on to other peoples software or write stuff that doesn't do anything useful at all. Not once have I ever heard of malware making its way in to the debian repos.

The worst I have seen is xscreensaver embedding a message in the code to complain about the old version a year after release.

> Bring transparency for business so it can trust us.

The problem is no methodology can make them trust us. Software development is one of the few professions where to the business it's simultaneously "magic" and they think we - as experts - don't know what we're doing. Management is supposed to empower employees and remove obstacles, not disempower and introduce them.

At the same time, there's this illusion that as long as we developers change the way we operate, the rest of the enterprise will magically be affected. A cultural shift without management buy-in won't work.
This is not a good analogy because if you speed on the highway you are putting other peoples lives at risk, and doing it in public. I think we probably should have a satellite tracking every car and issuing a ticket as soon as a car speeds.
Good counter; however, what I have in mind is less of a "rigid" model of a planned city (Le Corbusier is possibly the worst example of that), but rather a very "elastic" model, where there is rigidity and opinionated approaches on the infrastructure, but hopefully a lot of freedom up the stack.
Ugh. This is heartbreaking.

This is one of those cases where absence of evidence is evidence, to some extent. We do know that police brutality and abuse of power happens regularly, because it gets recorded and prosecuted. But when you look at those prosecutions, the initial evidence rarely comes from other police officers, even though the offending actions are committed around them. If most cops are good cops, you'd expect most such prosecutions to be due to the perpetrators being reported by their colleagues.

We can also look at what happens to cops who do become whistleblowers - it does happen, after all. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any case that ended well for the whistleblower long-term - best case, they get cold shoulder and silent treatment until they resign; and worst case is something like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Schoolcraft

Note, by the way, that in this story, it was basically the entire precinct involved one way or the other to gang up on the whistleblower, including his entire management chain. And if you believe Adrian, then manager involvement went all the way up to NYPD Commissioner. I think at that point, it's not unreasonable to assume that in NYPD, at least, on the balance of probabilities (i.e. more likely than not), "the vast majority of police turn a blind eye" is correct, just based on this one case.
Most people implicitly mean, "nothing unlawful to hide" when they say that, I think.
Oooof.

I Loved Kongregate Games!
My honest opinion is that you should read the npm-cli docs[0], the babel docs[1] and the webpack docs[2]. I think that most tutorials want to skip to the "getting stuff done" bit, and learning these tools with a bit of granularity is well worth it for any serious Javascript project.

These three tools form the backbone of most modern Javascript projects. Understanding what they are, why they do what they do, and how to extend them is vital to being able to work with modern JS.

The docs, particularly the introductions are written for a fairly inexperienced audience and I find them easy to work with.

I know about them. Interesting idea, but not a strong focus on the 10x design, which I think is a requirement to make housing affordable.

Doesn't mean they won't succeed - just that it's not the particular model I have in mind.
That is pretty neat. But at the same time, I have to say that a F150 is a lot smaller than that. Also, having a truck bed is pretty darn useful if you like to build stuff.

I think the suggestion is that Robert's Rules have actually the result of a bunch of previously tweaking, have been tested, and are shown to be safe to implement.

SDF would definitely be tricky, but like I want to ideally render text in 3d space without having a mesh in between. I do realise optimising an approach like that would be extremely hard but in terms of UX, it'd be better than anything possible with meshes and enable a few interesting possibilities.

Just going from your username, if you're actually available, I'd love to hire you for a bit of your help/expertise on my project. Like I'd like to render Primrose with a transparent/translucent background without the text being constrained inside a height limited viewport (render all lines at once) and implement scrolling on the mesh itself (also improve scrolling performance), and just support all keyboard + mouse shortcuts.

What this entire story is missing is that the guy is an engineer and he was building full scale models (according to his story) to test his research, he already has some patents from 2015, which kinda make his story a bit more credible.

That’s about 250 calories per day, which is pretty reasonable for a daily treat.

And I actually looked it up and it’s about a half gallon per American per month. I wonder if that includes children too. Probably. And then factor in the mountains of other garbage we also eat...it’s honestly a miracle that we’re not more obese than we are.

No, that statement is applicable to all taxes. Look at my second quote and its link.

> Read the word "granted" and disregarded the rest of the post. Trying to pass off your experience as some kind of canonical working class struggle when you don't need to pay for food is about as tone deaf as it gets, not to mention starting it with "to put that into context" as if you have ANY idea what that context is.

No, you’re the one lacking context. Most low wage workers are young, and the median American lives 18 miles away from their mom. People making $10/hour living on their own for the first time who have parents or grandparents randomly drop by with food is a very common scenario. People making $10/hour trying to support a family is not.

Also, the notion of biking 60 km round trip in rural areas strongly suggests you’ve never been to one. Someone working a $10 service job in a rural county isn’t commuting 30 km each way. My wife grew up in Sibley, Iowa. It’s about a mile and a half across North to south, and less than that East to west. The apartments are all in town, and so are the stores.

The people who might need to commute longer are farmers and farm hands, but they make a lot more money. The average farm hand in Iowa with a high school education or less makes $30-40k/year: https://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/wholefarm/html/c1-60.... (The hours are long, so it works out to $12-15/hour.) They’re not riding bikes.
I don't think so, that website looks a lot newer. And I'm pretty sure the original was called KongreHack or KongregateHack.
Berkeley is a fantastic place to live! Tons of great food (all open for takeout right now), the music scene was really fun when it was open, great fresh produce available at local markets, and most of what we need is walkable from our place, including BART. Also the weather is awesome compared to the city. It's sunny most days now, and the only annoyance is that it's pretty windy in the afternoons.

We been here for 10 months now, and signed for another year at our currently place with no rent increase. I didn't negotiate (our landlord offered us the same rent), but we have the best working relationship with him that I've ever had with a landlord and that's worth it to me. Also he's open to us modifying the property, which is worth something as well — he paid for ceiling fans to be installed and let me build a big garden in the backyard, for example. The place isn't perfect, but for now and especially during SIP, it's great. I expect if and when we move, we will continue to live in Berkeley.
I’d have thought they’re less practical than vans for a lot of tradespeople. If nothing else, the van protects equipment from rain.
> Why do people focus on aggregate unemployment metrics so much? ... Is "employing" XX% of your population in virtual indentured servitude supposed to be something politicians are proud of?

The answer is multipart and long, but a couple of highlights are; -

- the social point that work is a "quadruple remedy" against deprivation, boredom and isolation, social disrepute, and mental illness. Phrased positively: work gives a person material comforts, social contact, respectability, and self-respect.

Edit: this applies no matter the content of the job or the working conditions. Simply "having a job", any job, provides these things in some measure.

- another aggregate measure, the Gini index, bears on the answer. If a country has both a low Gini index (inequality) and low employment, then unemployed people are able to properly participate in society in that country. The answer in that case might be "no".

Trouble is, such countries are as common as rainbow-colored hens' teeth.

True, but if the company can't repay the loan, its creditors will have to be repaid from the bankrupt company's assets, so one possible outcome would be that Treasury ends up paying $700M for the liquidated assets of a company worth much less than that.

On the other hand, if the company survives and the stock price rises to above where Treasury bought it at, Treasury could make a profit when it sells its shares.

Also notable: virtually isolated from natural disasters: no earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, wild fires (in the urban areas), volcanoes, floods, tsunamis, land slides, avalanches, or sink-holes.

Also, climate modelling says that it's going to get wetter which would make its land more arable.

Because as a developer I know we don't know how to implement it in a safe reliable way. I want to write safe reliable code so I don't want to use this feature.

> The linked article make deterministic something that weren't before so my comment is not HS.

That's not what the article means by 'deterministic', I'm afraid. They're talking about it being deterministic at some point where the object is moved to. It doesn't make anything temporally more deterministic.

> If this is universal to all GCs that exists and that will ever exists

I think it's pretty fair to say that nobody in the industry knows how to make a reasonably high performance moving GC that is deterministic in when it frees objects. Maybe someone will invent one one day? I wouldn't hold my breath.

> Then how does autocloseable work?

Something important to know is that AutoClosable has nothing at all to do with the GC, so disregard that for this discussion. It just adds some code to be called after a lexical block. It doesn't know anything about whether the object is live or not.

Sorry not sure what this is asking - what is the difference between weak pointers and... what?

Reference queues are at least in-band and run under programmer control, but they're still non-deterministic in when (if!) a reference will be pushed to the queue.
> Gee, it seems bonkers to scrap it just because it had a problem on a test flight, right?

That depends entirely on the nature of the problem revealed during the test. Some tests may reveal that an idea won't work and the whole project is unsalvageable.

Facebook were trying to build a very large (43m wingspan) very light (400kg) aircraft, with the intention of using it for ultra-long endurance missions (90 days) in remote areas. For remote endurance in the field you need durability. Evidently more durability than was possible given the lightweight construction, since it was destroyed by the wind. I can easily see that sort of failure damning the whole project.
That protesters "had already destroyed an iron gate" and "were threatening to burn down their house" are both uncorroborated claims by the person who pointed the gun. Which is fine, but here's another person giving their own testimony that the gate was not destroyed at that point:

https://www.facebook.com/kim.mason.716/posts/102190071407824...

And then, of course, that gate isn't destroyed in any of the videos from the scene. There are photos showing a destroyed gate - which looks identical - so it clearly was destroyed at some point. But the relevant question is whether that already happened before the confrontation, and it doesn't look like it did.

As for the guy's claim that he is a BLM supporter - you can judge the veracity of that for yourself, based on this:

https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?...

(and then, perhaps, derive a heuristic to judge his other claims)
