> Government are starting to restructure parts of the city destroying old housings. It is a good move but I am skeptical on their artistic eye.

I'd be careful. such 'improvements' cause resettling, thus spliting local communities, and such actions smell really bad, not only because it pumps up property prices but it also weakens the integrity of citizens.

booze/cigarette bans and abortion discussions are a great distractor. usually brought up when there is some shit to cover.
Only if you're prepared to explain why a choice of ties is a moral imperative, and are ready for the ridicule of people who don't agree with you.
I think RMS is making a deep point about the ability to trust what your device is showing you when it's encumbered with non-open software, firmware, and hardware.

I think a clever surveillance agency with inside access to the guts of the phone could make it very, very hard to detect.
This Perl beats rsync by quite a margin here.

perl -e 'opendir D, "."; @f = grep {$_ ne "." && $_ ne ".."} readdir D;
unlink(@f) == $#f + 1 or die'

It goes a bit quicker still if @f and the error handling are omitted.

The original article is comparing different things some of the time, e.g. find is having to stat(2) everything to test if it's a file.
Despite his controversial figure, I very much respect RMS. I may not agree with his life choices, but his integrity and resolve of the pursuit of his ideals are at the least inspiring.

It is sad to see the "tieless" generation of beards and freedom slowly fading and having not found understanding in our time of rockstars and ninjas.
Oh god, that flash website!
Of course, it can't possible be a video on that computer that shows the dance so someone who isn't familiar with it can look at it at the same time as performing it.

Or he just have it in his hand as someone else is carrying a ball cap on his head. The real question is if it takes away the fun of watching MIT do the Soulja Boy dance.
Don't be too sure - some of histories supposedly greatest people have also been mass killers. Your views on them largely just depend on which side of the conflict(s) you were on and what time you are in. To take a fairly simple example, Churchill. Lots of good, lots to admire. But plenty of dark decisions and many deaths attributable to these.
I know the modern history of Iran and could easily talk you out of this line of argument because the circumstances are completely different, but I don't feel like drifting this thread into that direction.
Indeed, but honestly, if you see some parts of Istanbul you would `really` want re-structuring. After the boom of local immigrants in 80's a mess of ghetto-like places covered the city. In the first major earthquake, major loss of life is expected because of them. So, I sympathize the effort, but economics and architecture of it will not please almost anybody except construction companies.
I believe the difference is that they find the optimal price, deal with annoying buyers and pick it up at your house.

> It was the military that toppled the "sultan" and established the parliamentary system / Turkish Republic

The Young Turk Revolution, while supported by one army corp didn't topple the Sultan. The Sultan (Mehmed VI) was deposed by the Grand National Assembly of the Turkish Republic, a political body.

How is the living with 80k in SF? Is it difficult? Can a person do some savings? Can she afford a car?

I agree its a little bizarre, but as for the length of days, changing to a metric equivalent wouldnt really require changing the length of a second would it?

We have a fixed system right now and when its off we just say this day is a minute longer and clocks synchronize.

There's nothing inherently accurate about 60 60 24.

What I cant wrap my head around is the lack of timezones. If I switched to UTC or something based on UTC right now would I be waking up every day at 5 PM? I dont know and I dont much care.

But it seems like there is tension between local/global requirements and right now we favor local because its where we live.
So 5 cities must mean the same as 200 countries now?

Also except Tokyo these are all extremely low-res at my high-speed end, hinting towards Satellite imagery.

Guess you could set up XP in a VirtualBox specifically for this purpose.

I know Teamviewer is compatible with Linux (They use a pre-configured WINE/Mono type build, alike Picasa for Linux). Used it myself and it works as well as the native thing on both ends.
Actually it was Ottomans who invaded Constantinople in 1453.

The sentence about becoming Christian country is silly. It is the default cool-aid they give in elementary schools here.
I've been reflecting on this, and I guess my annoyance is that I actually strongly agree with RMS that cell phones have us in a self-imposed virtual surveillance state. But in the end, the devil's deal of owning the phone is one I can't refuse, so I make the choice to bear that burden.

BTW, on second reading, the lunch story came off harsher in my telling than I intended--it was really supposed to be a story of one of his cute eccentricities--"this dude doesn't think like your average person". Which is probably why he's able to contribute so much more to society than the average person. I would totally make lunch for RMS every day, given the opportunity. If he would only tell us what his favorite food was.

I don't know if that is particularly true. The ECB has been obsessed with inflation since its inception, which is a particularly Bundesbank-like set of priorities. While the official political authority is delegated on a country basis, I suspect that most of the civil servants (i.e. the people who mostly make the decisions) are if not Bundesbank, somewhat influenced by that school of monetary thought.
Well, I think you've certainly got an interesting notion of freedom. I don't consider a life subjected to the will of a state free in any meaningful sense of the word. You're only 'free' insofar as your rulers choose to protect your interests.

This isn't to say that an ownership-oriented society is bad because it is unfree; just that it is inherently unfree, like any other formal system for living in cooperative groups.

So in my view, the argument for private ownership-oriented societies from freedom falls apart. And we're back wondering why we shouldn't 'steal' from the well.
While I agree that secret mass sterilization would indeed be bad, I found that article to be extremely non-persuasive in making me think that this is the case.
Oh, give me a break.

I'm not interested in respecting and not-patronizing people. I'm interested in a better world and fixing the problems.

A big part of why people are poor (and/or delinquent) is, let's face it, because of how their brains work. Sure, there are lots of socio-economic factors keeping people down, but it's never an either-or issue. And I'm not saying that we should stop trying traditional poverty-bootstrapping tactics, but rather that cognitive enhancement is worth looking into also.

For instance, there was a study done in a prison that showed that fish oil can reduce violent tendencies[1]. It's also known to help with child ADHD[2].

(Actually, the interventions I have in mind would focus more around positive psychology, metacognition/mindfulness training, and applied rationality aka scientific self-help. Just using the fish oil as an example since it's well studied and is a very simple measure to take.)

Also, poor people should be happy that the "upper class" take an interest in raising them up. What do you prefer, patronizing philanthropists or corrupt elites who don't give a rat's ass as to their wellbeing at all?

Even if this was well thought out it would never catch on.
It could be extremely dangerous. The sun is very hot in Antalya. You should at least make sure your 3 year old has sun cream and maybe a hat to keep the sun off them.

If it gets too hot I would suggest you try a Turkish ice cream called Mado (similar to Italian gelato), or maybe a cool drink.

Also be warned that the 3 year old might get a lot of attention and people may give him sweets or soft drinks, particularly ice cream vendors or resort bar staff. This could be extremely dangerous as he'll be spoilt rotten. Most Turks absolutely love kids.

If you think you can cope with these risks then you'll be fine, but I'd understand if you decide to reconsider :)
Amazing reply, thank you very much! This is an awesome physics unexplored field (maybe not unexplored, but yet with lots of stuff to learn)

Previously tried in the late 1700s:

"Decimal time is the representation of the time of day using units which are decimally related. This term is often used to refer specifically to French Revolutionary Time, which divides the day into 10 decimal hours, each decimal hour into 100 decimal minutes and each decimal minute into 100 decimal seconds"

It sounds quite practical, but one reason we have 60-based time and 360 degrees in a circle is that they divide evenly so many ways. Eg, 60 minutes divides evenly by 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, so it's easy to measure a third of an hour or 1/6 of a circle.
I discovered a couple of years ago (when my phone, er, met with a nasty firmware accident) that you cannot buy a phone in the UK over the counter without also buying a Pay-As-You-Go SIM with a traceable means of payment (ie. card). They simply refused to sell the phone to me unless I forked over £10 for a SIM I didn't want. Apparently the French are to blame for this little piece of legislation.

I politely told them that the only reason I was in their shop was because it was an emergency, and I hoped that they enjoyed their future career packing boxes for internet retail, at least until they were replaced by robots. Harsh, but I never said I was a nice person.

I don't consider the posts in this thread to be intense criticism relative to many of the flame wars here, nor do I think that the choices are lots of criticism or zero criticism.

From what I've seen, it generally seems like intense criticism on HN is directed at attention seekers irrespective of their celebrity. I don't find this to be a particularly attention seeking post, but nevertheless RMS has engaged in a fair amount of attention seeking behavior in the past.

At any rate, the views being most criticized are actually critical of others anyway, including the one about ties.
Thanks for the post. I am looking forward to starting my business in coming months and I guess it'll be helpful to keep your advice in mind.
Yes, that's for sure the smartest way to deal with it, if you have such a specific requirement. New filesystems (zfs, btrfs) with their sub-volumes also make that much easier, because they can dispose of subvolumes, and recreate them very fast.

# btrfs subvolume create foobar
Create subvolume '/btrfs/foobar'

### now do all kinds of atrocities in this filesystem

# btrfs subvolume delete foobar
Delete subvolume '/btrfs/foobar'
The point is that at the moment, a day has 86400 SI seconds. If you want to keep it that way, i.e. change neither the length of a day nor change the length of a second, you will have to either divide these 86400 SI seconds up into some sensible pieces (60 60 24, e.g.) or have some remainder left (one day of 10 hours and some weird stuff at the end).

The problem here is not the one-off second, but the length of the second per-se which would have to change. Unfortunately, the length of the second is so deeply tied into the SI system that I’d rather have a non-metric day than a change in the length of seconds.

Timezones are somewhat orthogonal to this, and while there is some advantage to having a global time (‘let’s meet at 17:00, okay?’), local timezones are also somewhat helpful – you can expect shops to open around 8:00 all over the world and wouldn’t expect them to be open at 22:00; similarly, local authorities can change the time (and hence the time when shops open/close, e.g.) without everyone having to reprint their opening times signs (as happens for DST or during WWI/II).
Except that, in explaining his choice of no ties at all, RMS resorts precisely to moral imperatives.
Iran was the favorite 'scare' object used by mostly status-quo governments in modern Turkish history.

I don't think it would be that difficult to do without the user noticing. Even taking a photo or video wouldn't be noticed by a lot of people... I'm reminded of http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/03/rat-breeders-meet...

The question is can they do it to everyone frequently, including the handful of super-nerds out there who love tracing every operation their devices do and can be certain they don't have some sort of malware? While I don't see the capability as technologically infeasible, I do think it would be noticed sooner or later if it was always-on.

If such a feature does exist, then it would have to be used sparingly on targeted individuals, and even then if it was used to incriminate them such evidence would have to come up in court (unless they all get the s/Gitmo/secret prison/ treatment, a big assumption!) and then the world would know such features exist. Presently I think traditional manners of evidence-gathering are probably sufficient and people publicly leak all sorts of data (or have a lot of data logged that can be subpena'd) -- plus every now and again we hear about some nerd (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5194489) reporting they have been bugged. Some people think the CPUs of Intel et al. have backdoors in them, but if so, there'd be no need to bug computers.

Absence of evidence is evidence of absence... so I don't really take the government backdoors in everything by default too seriously. I'd need some sort of evidence showing their existence to change my mind.
>Every time I head that I like to remind people that Iran in the 70s was not much different than your average European country [1].

Exactly. And even Kabul in Afghanistan was a very modern town and somewhat of a hippy mecca in the 1960s, with women in miniskirts, alcohol, etc.

I've spent a good bit of time in Turkey in the past 15 years. Modern Turks who don't wish to live under strict Islamic rule are very much on guard, since they know exactly where Erdogan and his type want the country to be (hint: it looks a lot closer to Iran than France). And while I criticized them for being "undemocratic" when I first visited Turkey in 1998, I wasn't the one who was going to have to permanently live under a strict Islamic government if Erdogan succeeded (and he was thwarted the first time). But comparing Turkey now to Turkey back then, he is succeeding now, little by little. And once his "reforms" are in place, there will be no going back.

I'll begin by saying I do not believe in a personal god. Well Imams as guidance counsellors are extremely dangerous because unlike Christianity Islam never had the enlightenment period it is still stuck in middle ages. That's why you have people getting stoned in 2013 or girls getting gang raped and then executed for blasphemy search wikipedia for references. This is line of thinking these kids will be guided to and when you have 80k mosques vs 60k schools it will get out of hand really fast. Just the other day there was a protest where people literally kissed each other they were attacked by by people telling them this a muslim country and them, the religious youth won't let that.

I can understand your sentiment, but basically you are the one who tries to create a risk-free bubble for your children by forcing others to take risks for themselves. So before asking me to face facts, please check your own view: if you want a risk free environment for your children, then you actually have to create such a bubble. It's the only way. Even if you convinced me, there will always be unvaccinated people possibly endangering your kids. Reality.

As long as you ignore the possible risks of vaccination itself, accusing me of manslaughter due to accepting the risk of infection is simply ridiculous. If my child died from vaccination would it be manslaughter by the doctor, or maybe by you, because you told me I should take the risk of vaccination? Google for "died from vaccination" and you will find tons of cases. Is dying from vaccination any better than dying from an infection?

Asking me to take risks, to lower your risks, is just not ok.

If we were talking about someone who is knowingly infected (like Typhoid Mary), then there is a completely different situation. I agree that such people should be forced into quarantine. Relating avoidance of vaccination to manslaughter is like relating not installing cameras to terrorism: BS.

I'll add that sometimes a shape like that might result from a more evolutionary process. In a 2D plane a circle is the structure which most equally distributes force, so it's the shape most able to hold up under pressure.

But a tile of circles isn't so fortunate. Of all the possible tilings, the hexagonal tiling holds up the best precisely because it's the densest sphere packing in the plane.

Other arrangements might appear, but over the course of time you're more likely to see hexagonal tilings since those are the ones that best survive external forces.

Okay, why?

This caught my eye so i had a look through auth.go. Passwords are salted sha1... okay, but why not bcrypt? No PBKDF2? No field for hash format versioning if you want to backwards-compatible upgrade to bcrypt in future? Guess you could always go by the salt length or something.

It looks like your code to hash the password and salt is copy-pasted and appears twice, don't do that.

Your salts are 16 random bytes, okay.. but why base64 encode the salt before hashing? Now some structure of the content is known that might expose a weakness.
