True! I definitely think it has caused a huge set of problems with some nations.
Productivity is a function of happiness. If our lives were really a "regimented dullness," we'd have little motivation to achieve more and greater things.

So a regimented dullness is not optimal. Pure happiness for no work is not optimal. Evolution has chosen the perfect solution: happiness is dependent on productivity. This means the happier we are, the longer we will survive. And keep in mind, objectively, happiness is just the release of dopamine, so to the universe happiness is not a thing, but survival is.

If you disrupt that, then the function is disrupted. Happiness (aka, dope), can be obtained without working. Happiness is no longer dependent on productivity and advancement, and we could die off, depending on the whims of the universe. In exchange we'd get all the "happiness" we want, however short lived. We'd become irrelevant though, since we die off.

SEEKING WORK - Seattle, WA / Remote

Email: my hn username at gmail.com.

I'm a designer and developer experienced with Wordpress, Drupal, Django, and Rails/Sinatra. My personal goals are to be a great programmer in javascript and ruby, to learn java and objective-c, and to design beautiful interfaces for a wide range of platforms. I work daily at these goals. I have a strong passion for open source software and open civic data.

In late 2012 I created SeattleWiki.net and in January 2013 co-founded Code for Seattle, a local civic technology group with loose affiliations with Code for America. Along with Bruce Blood at the Seattle DoIT, I helped organize Hack for Change - Seattle, a hackathon held at City Hall on June 1.

I started learning CSS and HTML in 2005, started developing with Drupal in 2006, and have since developed sites with Wordpress, Django, Sinatra, Jekyll, and other content management systems and frameworks. I studied journalism and web development at The Evergreen State College, served as editor in chief of Evergreen's school newspaper, and worked as an advisor to the same school newspaper for 3 years after graduation. As an advisor I trained students on Drupal, CSS, HTML, Javascript, and broad web development/design/publishing concepts. I was responsible for maintaining the organization's websites, the web server, and the local file server.

Work examples:

Why should this make people concerned about admitting to going to 4chan anymore than piracy would make people concerned about using IRC, usenet, torrents, or even thepiratebay in particular?
You are way too easy on FB for destroying your girlfriend's relationship with her parents. Clearly, FB deserves at least some of the blame.

Without your consent, they made private photos public. You didn't do that. You used their privacy settings which they created to prevent this type of situation. To have FB disregard their own privacy settings is 100% on them.

But, instead of blaming FB, you blame yourself. In light of the total collapse of privacy we've experienced recently, it's really sad that that seems perfectly rational.
They generally refund if they confirm that it is a real bug.
> What this means is that client script can access those cookies which means that if you can get a piece of XSS onto the site – just as you can on the Aussie Farmers site – you can steal cookies containing passwords if you can get a customer to load the XSS payload

The author is saying that, putting the password in a cookie means that, if there is an XSS vulnerability somewhere, it can be trivially used to steal usernames and passwords, since the XSS can be used to inject code on the site that can grab the values from document.cookie and append them to a hidden iframe.

I don't think anecdotes can support or contradict the type of assertion he's making. People frequently point to that rare individual who overcame adversity. It doesn't really prove anything. The system is big enough that there will be instances to support nearly any belief. I think the opposite of what he's saying might be something like: "It's not who you know, it's what you know." I can only speak for myself but that seems much less true.

for some keywords search ads, are also a free service to users if you make a Copernican turn in your perception. the problem for end users for ads is the auction mechanism. it may seem that from quarter to quarter GOOG has to report better earnings and more ad placements seem to be an easy way to achieve increased revenue, albeit jeopardizing their main organic search experience.

at my zombie startup, "Vadlue" (http://www.vadlue.com/node/en/contact), we tried to strip ads out of search results and them searchable, browseable etc. maybe future lies in not making ads look more annoying by mixing them inside content, but making 'some content' behave like ads.
That sounds amazing. Google suggests "Waldkindergarten", at least as a name for the general category. Is that correct? Maybe just in Germany?

I didn't bring up Reddit, but as long as we're talking about it... with all its mainstream celebrity AMAs and VC money, it's been doing a lot of "house cleaning" and is hardly a free speech zone anymore. The whole point of free speech is that unpopular groups aren't shut down for having unpopular opinions.

The Superbowl ring thing was quite clearly a misunderstanding: It is exceedingly odd to present jewelry to someone in such a context just for them to look at (especially to the president of Russia for a national football league in the US, as if he would be awestruck). Yet presenting jewelry to heads of state (which aren't personally kept, generally, but instead are showcased in national archives), is common. So Kraft was really silly to present the ring like that, and you can't hold that against Putin.

I just remembered a very interesting tale.

There is a social networks for some stuff that you don't want known (for example, sexual fetishes, or gay stuff, or anti-government stuff, and so on).

I know a case where someone (that was never found out who, although there are some suspects) in one of those social networks started to attack some other people there. Until things started to get out of hand, with the person finding the Facebook profiles of those involved (even if they had completely fake profiles) and posting on that network, and then getting their profile in that network and posting back on Facebook...

Then the attacker posted on the niche social network the Facebook profiles of children of the victims, stuff escalated to the point of people hiring private investigators and professional assassins (some of the victims were soldiers and/or military police shock troops, and were not amused at all at threats toward their family... and happily supported plans for a assassination).

Happily the attacker suddenly gave up, and things de-escalated... But it made me much more aware that social networks can be VERY dangerous...

Of course (considering the tone of social networks here, professions of those involved, and that people wanted to do illegal stuff) I cannot explain better or give more information.

>First, historically mass education of the type we now employ is only about a century old, and designed to produce factory workers not to promote creativity. Learning to handle monotonous boredom and obey orders was of primary importance to a factory worker.

Actually it is the inverse. The higher classes (from rich upper class families to wealthy lawyers, doctors, scientists etc) were those that sat down and studied without much fuss, in quite demanding schools. Those classes had a high respect for education, and very demanding curriculums.

It's the working classes (factory workers then, office drones to McDonald burger flippers now) that did and still get by with laxer schooling, less "boring stuff", and more "creativity".

Most of the factory workers in days past didn't even get to go to school, or stopped very early. That they learned "to handle monotonous labour" and "obey orders" at school is a myth. They learned it by necessity at the factory. It was either that or not getting to eat at all.
Show HN: Google Glass + Tesla Model S = GlassTesla
In case you didn't guess, it this app lets Tesla Model S owners interact with their vehicle with Google Glass.

Here's what it can do:

- View vehicle charging status. Start or stop charging via Glass. You can even open the charge port without having to get back into your car.

- Locate your Model S on a map and get directions to it. You can even honk the horns or flash the headlights if you still can't spot it.

- See whether the doors, trunks, or sunroof is open/closed. Of course, you can lock or unlock your car remotely and even control the sunroof too.

- You can view the car's interior and exterior temperatures. With a single tap, you can enable "auto climate" to either cool or heat your vehicle to an optimal temperature remotely.

"Facebook has value, but no matter what your privacy settings are set to, no matter what you delete, always assume that anything you write or do on Facebook - in any context - will be embarrassingly public. 1) Because it will and 2) because it just makes life easier."

The problem here is that I do consider everything I do on the Internet to be public, but most average people don't. This is why I don't have a Facebook, which admittedly is probably a big killer for my social life in my age group being a late teenager. People in their late teens/early twenties are reckless when it comes to the Internet and I simply can't risk being associated with any of that.
As a developer, I couldn't possibly say with a straight face that a codebase like FF's or Chrome's, in size and language, are immune to leaks. I'm speaking about them the way every armchair developer has attacked FF over the years. I'm not saying they are right or wrong. I haven't invested myself in the issue, and I've stated or alluded to, several times, that it was not the "why" but the "what" that drove me. Firefox was slower and did less, so I switched. Anecdotal; 100% agree; I couldn't tell you exactly what I want; I don't necessarily have the time. For some, I'm sure the scale has dropped the opposite way (eg. they need more from FF's extension model).

At various times in history the ACLU has defended the KKK.

I see no problem with defending freedom of horrible people.

Indeed, factory workers, back in the Dickensian days, were uneducated masses. As most they had a 5-6 years of schooling, but none at all was also common. They sure didn't learn rote behaviour and obeying orders at "school".

And at the same time, higher classes attended highly demanding schools, with very high discipline and demanding curriculums.

Plus, on the 20th century, mass education was adopted by almost all countries (including agriculture based ones), and it had produced people working mostly in office and service sector jobs, not rote factory assembly lines.

So if anything, it's the inverse of the "old wives tale".
