Because the government is completely ran by corporations and Musk isn't in "the club" (yet). Gone are the days where the consumer is uneducated and the supplier doesn't have a way to easily and effectively communicate with customers everywhere from anywhere.

There's a pretty good doc on Netflix, "Park Avenue: Money, Power and the American Dream", which covers some of the financial backing of congress and how it affects things (although that's not the primary focus). I'm sure this plays out at a state level, too. I witnessed it first hand growing up in Eastern Kentucky and how the coal companies threw their money and weight around.
Thanks for finding that. At the time I posted this, he hadn't linked the bill.
That's what Dogpile did - at one point - albeit as a regular browser search engine, which was its allure to me. I often got better results than on Google, which must have been around their formative stages.
Hi,

You may be interested to learn about non-profits organizations, many of which have donations as their primary source of income.

Which brings up the obvious advice: if you're going to take your kids to the beach, or to the pool, teach them how to swim! Teach them young enough that they haven't yet developed an instinctive fear of water; then they'll be natural swimmers for life. (I learned to swim at about age 6 months.) If you can't teach them yourself, find a program at the local pool or rec center.
There is such a thing as enthusiastic nonverbal consent-- it's pretty hard to mistake. I've never been saying, "always ask 100% of the time no matter what". I've been saying, "If you have any doubt in your mind, just ask." And accordingly, to place the line of doubt somewhere a little higher than "She let me into her house."

Got a link to that quote? I don't think I've seen it, interested to see the context.

Anyhow, a lot has changed in two years. dart2js now produces JS that, at least on the benchmarks on the Dart perf site, compare well with handwritten JS. This was not obviously possible two years ago! In fact back then I would also have been extremely skeptical that C++ compiled to JS would get close to native speed as well, but it has.
You start by saying that if you disagree with you you're a misogynist pig, and any discussion of the merits is wrong. Just think about times you've read other people say that, and try and think it over.
Well, like I said... there are some countries (EU) that are starting to regulate these pesticides, at least on a trial basis.

But over here in the US, not really. Partly this is because we've only relatively recently started to get good insight into the problem. And it's still controversial.

For a long time, we thought it might be caused by a disease or parasite; these are a big concern for beekeepers and an easy way to lose a hive under normal circumstances.

There's even some theories that claim it's caused by feeding the bees high-fructose corn syrup. This is a common practice to support hives during the winter, to make up for the honey reserves removed during the summer.

These pesticides are strongly suspected to interfere with bees, but we're still not sure they're the cause of CCD. It will be worth watching what happens in the EU.
Can you explain this concept in a bit more detail? There is nothing I can find to back this up anywhere, and the idea seems very strange to me as I've never heard of it before. A quick Google search on the topic seems to show a number of papers detailing real time fault tolerance on Java.[1]

At any rate, as far as I can tell CloudI is mainly intended for network and web systems, which are not going to be real time when running on Linux/Windows in any event. (network buffers, etc)

2 Books come to mind that have inspired me to be better.

1. 4 Hour Body -by Tim Ferris. This is a popular book and it got me addicted to my health.

2. The Motivation Hacker by Nick Winter. This is less popular than 4 Hour Body, but it's awesome and teaches you how to muster up unconscionable amounts of motivation.

Only lifeguards need to be able to spot it at 50'. And they'll get training.

For everyone else: you only need to spot the silence. People in water make noise and move. If anyone isn't doing that, talk to them. You don't have to say "hey, are you drowning?" just "hi" or strike up some small talk.

If they aren't responding and don't seem to be doing anything but bobbing along with their mouth barely above water, that continued silence is what should urge you into further action.

I don't get why the above post is so inflamatory to some... I used to use gopher, don't recall the ui all that well, but it was useful. Most browsers early on supported gopher as a protocol, and most do not today. And without the support of richer media (from images, to audio, scripting, even plugins) the web would not have been nearly as successful.
Oh man, it is just like the 90's: unicode usernames are not allowed. Welcome to the past!
> Thrift stores tend to attract a very specific market, and that doesn't need to be your market.

This is part of the reason I started off my comment by imagining what an idealized HN reader would donate. That's the kind of person you want to attract. But I genuinely wonder if there are enough of those people - the fact that you're paying them a pittance turns a gift of generosity (e.g., donating to a cancer charity) into a job.
Simple question: how could I migrate away from this platform if at one point or another I would get unsatisfied with either the platform or would need this on my own servers? Is there an open-source platform technology? Is this also available as a plain ol' software-as-a-product that I could use on my servers?
Women are, funnily enough, female members of the species homo sapiens and there is a lot of scientific evidence on what they find attractive in a potential mate.
I don't have sources at hand, but I recall reading that these judges only work part time on FISC; they have additional case load to deal with. In addition, law students that work for the judges (a standard practice, from what I understand from a law student) probably go over the material and write their opinions for them, and then they sign it.

I don't think it matters to them why the fuck the NSA wants to tap these people, because they've got other shit to do and it's just phone numbers they're looking up. Anyway, why would one party affiliation care more about it than the other? Obama's a dem and he's pretty okay with warrantless wiretapping.

This could easily be misinformation. That said, Russ Tice has more credibility than you do when it comes to talking about NSA capabilities, in that his claims of unconstitutional spying (dating back to 2005) anticipated and are well-supported by the leaked NSA documentation, while your claims dating two weeks back about how everything is operating under reasonable judicial oversight have already been proven wrong.

The phrase you're looking for is "enthusiastic consent". You're not looking for a signed contract. You're looking to have absolutely no doubt in your mind that your partner genuinely wants to do what you want to do. That just happens to be about a thousand times easier if you can talk about it like a (sexy) grownup.

Believe it or not, one goal of this policy is more, and better sex.
What is the common good and who defines it?

If I plant a fruit tree in my garden, I no longer buy that fruit from a local farmer. Thus, I hurt the farmer.

If I build Facebook, I hurt MySpace. If I build Spotify, I hurt iTunes. If I build assembly robots that save businesses and consumers millions, I take away jobs from factory workers.

Anything you build upsets the good of someone else; that doesn't make it wrong.
Wow, I didn't know that was possible. Thanks so much for the information!
> Would that also means asm.js essentially open source your code? Are there anyway to protect it like JVM bytecode or are Mozilla not interested in this.

asm.js is JavaScript, so it can be protected like all JavaScript, through minification and obfuscation. There is no intentional obfuscation in Emscripten, but in an optimized build we do minify aggressively to reduce code size, exactly like other minified code on the web.
This happened to me once in a pool and until I read an article like this I didn't even know I was drowning. I was 5 or 6 and was in a swimming class. I remember going up and down and not being able to say anything or do anything but that. I don't think anyone noticed me but I may be wrong. What saved me was that the pool bottom was slanted so every time I went down I touched it just a bit but enough to push me slowly to the shallower end.
The parent comment we're replying to, and the highest rated comment in this thread starts with:

> Linking basic health care to employment as a default is ridiculously stupid.

People are agreeing with that, and I'm saying it also applies to extended healthcare.

My argument: health and employment should be divorced.

Your argument: you get a better deal when they are connected.

I think you're being naive because you're being tricked by marketing and the current system and rules. If they entire system were overhauled to divorce them, there is no reason it needs to cost more to buy as an individual. I ask you - how much profit are health care providers making in Canada under the current system? With those billions in profit, surely there is room to change the pricing scheme so it doesn't cost more for individuals.
Kill that feeling. Kill it with fire, bury it under a rock, then pave the whole area with three feet of concrete.

I feel that feeling with every fucking object in my apartment, and if it weren't for my friends and my wife, I'd probably be one of those hoarders, sleeping in a 3x3 foot area surrounded by garbage.

I wish I could find a photo of my room as a teenager. I wasn't a Collyer, but you couldn't see my floor.
To establish that dominance is not sexual assault, you should communicate. Simply to impose a dominant behaviour in case of doubt is not a GOOD strategy and may be sexual assault.
I'm all for the liberal way of thinking. Making business with someone is supposed to be good for both sides. But that works when you're making business with a democracy that plays it "fair".

Working "together" with China is a pretty idealistic way of seeing it. They've spent the last 20 years asking for european companies (both civilians and military) to give them their industrial and technological secrets before they buy anything, so that they could clone pretty much everything and sell goods back to us for 10% of the price, thanks to a workforce that lives in barely human conditions and no patent system or anything close to it (but also very smart and education oriented people, to be honest). With software, my bet is it's going to go even faster, since everything is pretty much open source those days.

Now, I know things are slowly changing and i don't mean to be too hard on the chinese regime, which managed to let that country grow tremendously, and probably improve the life of many citizens. I just wanted to balance your idealistic point of view a little bit.

SO is great for what it is, direct answers from questions. It is hard to think back to the days of pre-SO when most answers had to come from books (!)

It is not designed, and will never be a place to foster discussions, or encourage exploration. I'm NOT complaining about SO, this is just how it is designed.

This kind of content, for example, is not something SO would create:

http://www.techempower.com/blog/2013/05/17/frameworks-round-...

https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators

Since we don't have a SO for discussions we still rely on information from individual research and/or the modern-day newsgroup (reddit, forums). I wish there was a place to fully explore nebulous unanswerable questions like "Which web UI framework is fastest to develop in?" or "What is the best way to start a 2d platform game today (in 2013)?"

This isn't an easy problem to solve, the questions above aren't really there to get an answer but to start a discussion. For both questions I want to know what is popular (TODAY, not in 2006), active, has been tested, and personal experience. I want to see a collection of people submitting their own takes until a top-five is produced where further study can be made.
> Ask 100 women if they find it romantic to be kissed without being asked or if they want to be asked first. I'm pretty sure the answer is: being kissed, don't ask.

Your answer seems to assume the consent of these women. Do you still think it's more romantic, even if they don't want to be kissed at all?
Like the idea of the zoomed in part for input. Do any Android apps have this or something similar?
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is. This is just for fun, I don't think they are looking for VC money or anything crazy.

2) Rapists don't care about Kickstarter banning a seduction manual; they aren't seducing.

1) I don't think so; strength imbalance maybe, but not power imbalance. In fact, when it comes to sex and intimate relationships, women are usually more trained in socializing and have the upper hand in choosing a mate, and are strongly favoured by the courts [1] and the police [2].

Are you saying there are programmers in Somaliland earning $50-$100k? They must be living like kings!

I don't think you should worry that you are not earning as much as you could be in Europe or the USA. You would be spending a lot more just to survive in those countries and probably not a lot better off financially.

I am interested to know what the income tax rate is in Somalia, Somaliland and Puntland? Do you have sales tax?
How is that relevant? You are essentially using a shame argument.

The answer is yes, everybody needs to become much better seductors. Why? Take a look at the divorce statistics and then imagine what they would look like if people were receptive to their parters needs (and actually cared about them). My guess is low, single digits and almost no messy divorces.
It will get OS updates (patches and bug fixes), but it probably won’t be able to run the next major release after iOS 7 (an upgrade, not an update).

But your point is valid, and it’s why I wouldn’t recommend anyone to buy the current entry level iPhone (iPhone 4). I’m hoping Apple will change their strategy of discounting older iPhone models and create a separate entry level iPhone. That model should not compromise RAM and CPU so that it will be able to keep up with future OS releases, but it could compromise in other areas such as screen size, battery size, and choice of materials.
"NY State Senators allegedly trying to shut down Tesla Motors in NY" would be nice too. Though really, even that's incorrect: it's the automakers who are alleged to be doing this, not state senators. But screw it, let's spread some FUD. Let me go post on Facebook about how the government is trying to destroy Elon Musk.
Not saying the NSA couldn't have been involved, but I thought it was the FBI that got Petraeus's google account.
I think seduction manuals are morally wrong.
CloudI is under an open source software license, the BSD license, which is the most permissive of the open source licenses. So you can use CloudI in any product you want, using it how you want, on whatever servers you choose. The license just protects the CloudI source code developers from liability.
Perhaps you meant to reply to the parent or grandparent? I'm merely pointing out that "Puritan America" does not mean "1600's Puritans That Just Happen To Be Living In What Will Become America". I could not get the site to load to read the book, so I cannot make judgement on the content.
The problem is the FISC is not adversarial. In a normal court, these judges are used to dealing with the issues presented to them by both parties. Both parties submit briefs, arguing both sides of the issue, and the judge applies the facts and law to the case based on the issues presented to them by the parties. Judges generally do not inject issues that aren't presented to them by the parties.

In contrast, FISC is a one-sided event. Only the government presents its case and asks the judge to make a decision without any opportunity for any other party to make the other side of the argument. So it doesn't surprise me that the judges are just approving what the government asks for. It's similar to a legal default in any other court. When the other party doesn't show up, the party that's standing there wins, no matter what their argument is. It's automatic.

EDIT: I should say that this is one of the problems with FISC court, not just the problem. A secret court is antithetical to an open and free society in the first place.
Meaning you can stay for 90 days, fly off to HCMC for 5 days, and repeat indefinitely? That sounds like a pretty good deal...
This is an awesome improvement. I agree with BPatrianakos that hashing has not been easy enough for the average PHP dev - we hear that a lot.

As another option, you can also just not build any password infrastructure. We do all the hashing and authorization as a secure service and there are PHP devs of all levels using it...

From this, we might infer that the upcoming lower priced models either use the same battery pack or will not have the option to swap packs. Or, maybe the system is designed to accomodate packs of different lengths. The 1st and 3rd seem the most likely.

Well, that's exactly what I believe that the author of the book was saying, if one reads his text with a slightly different, more realistic, bias. He wrote the book exactly because many men, after having heard lectures from people like you, fail to notice and act upon even the most enthusiastic non-verbal consent.
But you could well have done a huge amount of damage before you realise it's the wrong solution. History is full of examples of identifying a problem and putting an entirely inappropriate, and damaging, "solutions"

- the Russian monarchy is bad, let's put a "Communist" dictatorship in place
- 1930's German farms can't support its people, let's invade Eastern Europe
- modern Britain can't afford to pay for all of the hospitals/schools it needs right now, let's pay the private sector to build them for us, keep paying for them for the next 20 years and then find out that we own none of it
- terrorists sometimes communicate on the internet, let's bug everyone's conversations

etc, etc.
I don't believe (2) at all. Journalists are careerist and media outlets are bottom-line focused. It would be one thing to argue that some specific venue, like the NYT, is captured somehow (that would be an extraordinary claim but let's stipulate it). But to say that every major media outlet is somehow blinded to its own incentives on a story like this? That's flatly implausible.

I don’t know what you think ‘touching’ entails, but I think you’re reading too much into it. He didn’t write “Every woman you meet, grab her crotch!’. If you touch someone’s shoulder, that hardly qualifies as sexual harassment.
This is mostly hyperbolic and wrong. You're right that bees are great, we should all care, and it would suck if they all died. You are wrong that we know what's causing it or that it's some nefarious scheme.

Firstly, nobody is turning a blind eye out of scientific ignorance, and to suggest bribery is involved is just ridiculous. Every time an industry has a problem that's being investigated by scientists, people start making bribery claims. It's absolute nonsense, especially in this case where there is a very active debate in the literature and many hundreds of labs working independently. Newsflash: agricultural corporations have almost no impact on research outputs. They fund a small amount of research, and often the results that get published are not what they wanted. They have no say on what gets published, except in perhaps a handful of cases where they illegally exert pressure, but I've never seen such a case. As a plant scientist, I find the idea of any company using money to influence the results of academic research completely laughable. They might use money to influence the research question, but not the answer.

Secondly, we really are not almost sure why the bees are dying. The evidence is very strong that there are many causes contributing to CCD, and it keeps getting more complex with time. What's clear is that it's not a single cause, and will not be simple to fix, and is not just about the insecticides.
Which is often the case. Reading pure-black on pure-white hurts my eyes, so I often have to tune this knob the other way.
