I generally agree with your ideas of what makes a good life and a good society, but you need to recognize that societies and not governments are responsible for these things. Governments are great tools for exercising collective purchasing, collective bargaining, and collective defense. Just about everything else they do is a harm on society justified by the benefits of other government activities.

Free speech is great because social consequences not government laws keep it check. Free speech is not about what kind of society we want to create. It is about not going to jail for your opinions, regardless of what kind of society someone else wants to create.

Oh, I wasn't arguing either way. Personally I prefer social login, but I have no strong conviction either way.
Ranting gets attention, so people rant.

I've noticed people will use some library or platform or language, and at first they'll love it. Then two or three years on, all they can see are the places it falls short in the domain they're working in. I've personally experienced a disconnect when I'm still in the honeymoon phase, and the speaker has progressed to the "I-hate-this-it's-terrible-throw-it-out" stage.
Typeclasses and proof search can add expressiveness. You need not program everything but merely constrain the logic and let the compiler determine the behavior.
Wow.

Human data shows how we move in cities
But of course. I wasn't denying anything of the sort.

But you see - it's one thing for my country to do it, because if I suffer from it, I have legal ways to fight it. It's another thing entirely for a foreign government with so much power to do it, let alone a government that directly controls and that can subdue the biggest companies that operate on the Internet. Depending on the country, the NSA doesn't have enough jurisdiction or power to subdue a foreign company, regardless of any treaties, therefore depending on the country, I can trust a more local company more than I can trust a US company - since a US company can be quietly subdued to whatever the NSA wants without recourse or without me finding out about it.

And I do realize that if I'm targeted directly, then short of keeping myself offline, there's no way to protect my data. But my biggest fear is that my personal data will end up being processed in bulk by incompetents. My personal ID ended up in a local newspaper by mistake because of incompetents running our governmental institutions (even though that's illegal). I've got important data that I care about - while at the same time I've got nothing to hide - but do I want my personal data, like pictures, love or angry letters, source code of personal projects and so on and so forth to end up being processed by incompetents? Hell no. And if it does happen, I want to be able to strike back.

With the US government doing it, I have no recourse, no path I could take - since I'm not a US citizen and I don't have money for the fees practiced by US lawyers anyway, while at the same time, my voice is not heard because I'm a foreigner. Heck, I don't even have a right to vote, if that counted for something. Can you see my problem here?

That's why I'm of the opinion that the US government should try really hard to fix what they broke, since we all have enjoyed the freedoms provided by the global Internet and it would be a pity if balkanization happens because some idiots thought it would be cool to process the emails of individuals without warrants and in bulk.
It has really put me off, and probably many others, from ever hosting a TOR node

The cynic in me can't help but assume that that's the entire point.
This is a map of how well someone can use English, IQ tests are biased towards that.

Although it doesn't say much about the team, I'd say it provides some information on management and the level of transparency vs image management you can expect on the job.
Well, Twitter is using Scala which is among the best modern languages (and I am not a Scala/JVM developer). It is not about the end result (worry of the business). It is about us developers enjoying the process (nobody else cares about that). I am much happier using <decent modern language of choice> rather than JavaScript for example, this is why I am pissed every time Mozilla leverages the historical browser language monopoly and preaches it's mantra that JS is the best choice. And indeed I have no choice but to use JS on the client-side, because everyone seems happy with the status quo (please no transpilation offers - it's demeaning crap). The more negative - the better.
AFAIK, in Germany (I know the article is about Austria but I'd guess their laws are similar) you can be held responsible if something illegal is conducted through your network (usually open WLANs). It's called "Störerhaftung" and is pretty crazy because it essentially means every grandmother has to become a sysadmin of sorts. This is used a lot in film download trials etc.

ISPs are explicitly excluded from this and not held responsible.
Your link is based on the "findings" of a libertarian law-firm and lists the 10 most inappropriate licensees. These include: Preschool teacher, Optician, Midwife, Veterinarian Technologist. Even these "worst" cases have miniscule license fees and minimal competence requirement. So small they in no way keep out competent people however poor: if you can afford a cheap TV then you can afford to be a Midwife.

And the idea that a Midwife should have absolutely no experience or that the preschool Teacher have zero background or your Optician have no education what so ever is pretty nearly crazy.

The only reason to get rid of it is so large companies could emerge to replace your midwife with a minimum wage incompetent.

True, maybe there should not any be requirements for hair braiding. This hardly means all licensing is a bad idea. To stretch one wild story about Utah hair braiding into "all professional associations are bad" takes more imagination than I have.

Eliminating all licensing across the board is shear libertarian crackpot-ism.
I think this can save a lot of users' time
Makes sense. Data at this point is as much of a economic competitive advantage as anything else and managing it like any other national resources makes a lot of sense.
Some of the ISPs in question have been directly targeted by GCHQ operations; pervasive GCHQ operations like TEMPORA and QUANTUM affect every internet user that transits through an affected point. That is no longer in dispute after Snowden.

I think they have locus to bring these actions for judicial review, yes.

When I moved to WA from CA, I was already working for a certain large software company. I asked HR if I had to re-sign the employee agreement.

They said no.

When I left them, they tried to do a non-compete on me. I pointed out that the agreement that I had signed didn't include one (since CA doesn't allow them) and they tried to go behind the scenes with lawyers anyway.

Let's just say that it worked out pretty well.
To clarify on this point: Amazon "supports" open sourcing code. To do so you must submit your code to an open source review committee, who will evaluate it for potential competitive threats, usage of privileged company technology, etc.

Which sounds at least semi-reasonable until you realize that the people sitting on this committee have zero incentive to approve requests, while at the same time incentivized heavily to reject requests - since there's personal cost to them if something they approve ends up being used by a major competitor.

I'll leave it to the reader to guess how often things get rejected from open sourcing...
we thought users should have these kinds of filters too. Almost everyone wants to see what's hot, but the meaning of the term "hot" may vary person to person. So we thought users can have filters like "commented 20 times in last hour" etc. in order to completely fill their own meaning of "hot" :) btw, thank you!

The Jaguar C-X75 almost made it into production - and it had miniature gas turbines linked to generators feeding the batteries and wheel motors:

Given the current popularity of hybrid hyper-cars from Porsche, McLaren and Ferrari it would be interesting to see if something like the Jaguar is tried again.

I have often seen pedestrian signals where the countdown ends when the red light turns on (so the countdown is still going during the yellow). My reading of the article was thus that the rear-enders are choosing to run more yellow lights, not that the rear-ended are choosing to stop when it's still green. In that case, it's the rear-enders who are paying attention to pedestrian signals and changing their driving as a result, and they're hitting people who are stopping as they approach a yellow in the normal manner.
Unfortunately this hasn't been the first case like that and it probably won't be the last one either. Saying they destroy peoples lives on purpose isn't fair though. Everybody setting up an exit node knows there's some chance the police will knock on your door one day or at the very least you'll end up getting a lot of letters. Projects like https://www.torservers.net exist for that very reason. I understand donating money isn't as fulfilling/fun/cool as hosting an exit node yourself but at this point everybody should be well aware of the possible consequences.
Why not good ol' De Morgan's laws?

return !(raw[2]&(QR|AA|TC) == 0 && raw[3]&(Z|RCODE) == 0 )
Yup, politicians are starting to realize that digital data in all its forms is now a competitive advantage and they are looking to control it like any other national resource.
Human data shows how we move in cities.
Assuming Darknet technology is improved to the point that "exit nodes" become unnecessary (something like BitMessage), the next target would be developers of such software and developers of cryptography software in general.
Forgive me, I have very little experience with TypeScript and searching doesn't immediately reveal how definition files work. Is that a TypeScript source file that you'd want to include in another TypeScript project? Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems strange to ask npm to distribute that. I prefer CoffeeScript but I still get annoyed when npm packages distribute their CoffeeScript source.

I can understand why installing a package from a version control URL should skip checks, since the very fact that you're using the direct URL kind of indicates that you want that specific commit.

I've literally never run into a missing dependency with npm. How did you get there? Are you installing packages from several different repositories? What good would forcing do if you're missing a dependency? If you know you don't really need it can't you stub it?

TBH I'm not that concerned with support on Windows. shrug

What is forgotten here is a reduction of vibrations.

The crankshaft works as a (cheap) synchronizer for piston movement and can reduce vibrations when phases are aligned in special way.

Motor vibrations are big deal - they take energy and also reduce quality of car.
Lawmakers aren't as intelligent as programmers. What's worse is, instead of just telling him to turn off the exit node now he's seen as a criminal by the system for doing absolutely nothing. Imagine applying for a job and trying to explain to them why you were arrested, especially if the interviewer is not tech savvy it might not look so good.
I read the beginning of it now. It certainly sounds as if they were angry at each other.

What do you think: they called her a whore just because she is a woman?

I don't like people who call women whores. As I said, I also don't like the mob mentality on display here. I am sure all those things didn't happen just because she is a woman, there has to be some history.

While it would never occur to me to call somebody a whore, I wonder how many people here who were ever in a relationship before never had a fight with their partner and never said anything mean to them?

Of course washing dirty laundry in front of the company is completely stupid and out of place. Still - what is the appropriate punishment?

And you haven't answered: what makes you think I hate women?

I wonder how the typical co-founder ousting among male co-founders plays out. Do they typical just "agree to disagree" and stay friends? Or do they sometimes call each other names and start hating?

As ealexhudson says here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7975422 , the difference is that in the UK, when you have a 'green man', there is a guarantee that traffic are not permitted to use any piece of road you are crossing.

I was describing the crossroads situation where all vehicles are allowed to travel in any direction when they have a green light (no filter light/lanes), as this is the most commonly occurring situation in towns in the US I think. Not including states where there is a propensity for 'no left turn' intersections.

In the US, this would mean two phases, with each one being a shared pedestrian and vehicle phase, pedestrians crossing in parallel to traffic. In the UK this would be three phases, two traffic and one dedicated pedestrian phase.

I personally prefer the UK system, as in the US as a pedestrian you are at the whim of drivers paying attention to pedestrian traffic, and even if they don't hit you they may well start turning the corner to pressure you to hurry up.
When someone is condamned for something online-related (piracy, CP, etc.), we should obviously arrest all the owners of routers between the source and the target. They are accomplice because they helped the data to transit. That's only commom sense !

This is what I was thinking about too. Rotation is better than reciprocal line movement.
Interesting how you'll never meet a person whose IQ is less than 100 (or even 120) on the Internet. It's a rather flawed metric.
The only reason we haven't cared up until now because it has all been stored here or within countries that have had very strong diplomatic ties to the United States. Plus, it doesn't really matter anyway because the internet backbones are all tapped. In any event I think Russia is just looking out for its own best interest by realizing that data needs to be managed and controlled like any other national resource.

Well than the "horriblity" of her ordeal seems to have a price limit. It can't have been infinitely horrible.

Also not sure what kind of contract a co-founder has. Supposed she stopped coming to work and "worked from home" - could they take away her options for that?
Agreed. I much prefer the latter, as it tells me not only the value, but the intention.

newTime = currentMillis + 21600000,

I go WTF is that number and is it right,

newTime = currentMillis + SIX_HOURS_IN_MILLIS

and I not only know at a glance what you're doing, I know what the value ought to be, so if you accidentally added/left out a zero, I can actually check it where that const is declared.

>We all know that any great medium starts out as a bastion of understanding, sharing and common good until a bunch of trolls show up to ruin it all (ahem, reddit, ycombinator, digg, etc).

No, we don't. I don't agree with your statement and I don't think you should be speaking for other people. None of those places were bastions of any of those things. They were places where like-minded people gathered to talk about common interests. Don't make the mistake of thinking because they represented your interests that these places were bastions of all that is good.

That is such a dim and cynical and solipsistic view to take. I don't agree that the people who came to those networks are trolls just because they showed up after me. This is a natural consequence of networks getting popular, not a bunch of trolls coming to ruin the things I love because I love them. It's like saying that the people who came to America after the initial European colonists were trolls because they had different interests from original colonists.

This is such a common tactic on internet 'debates.' To call someone who disagrees with you a troll, thereby absolving you from the mental work of understanding their viewpoint (I don't need to engage this troll, they're just fucking with me) and dealing with the possibility that someone has different opinions than you.
such laws can create good employment opportunities for local people and can effect economy in a positive way too!
It's helpful to have dates on things that aren't "news". If (for example) a doom-like game had become extremely popular in 2012, the [2010] tag would give readers more context so they know why it's not mentioned.

I buy and support a number of services and products where I would jump at the chance to shake the founder's hand and be their best friend! Sometimes it's about the people more than just the product. I'd buy a product site-unseen from certain people.

One of the authors of one of the reference materials (Tatu Vanhanen) of Lynn and Vanhanen is fairly suspect in his methodology of applying and analysing of IQ scores.

Fact #1: It's not actually obvious what IQ scores measure, what amount of cultural bias the scores have and does it even make sense to compare IQ scores between different populations. Well, it's a number so yes, you can numerically compare it, but - as we engineers would put it - it's not obvious that the scalar value of 'IQ' has the same dimension in disjoint populations.

There are various attempts to map human beings mental capabilites on various basis functions (IQ, Briggs-Meyers etc.). From the point of view of armchair natural scientist none of the the approaches are very convincing as hard core analysis tools. As facilitation tools they can provide value, but facilitation always includes discussion and holistic analysis of what actually the number means in each situtation.

Fact #2: Tatu Vanhanen has quite a lot of publicized work where he expresses views that are quite openly racist - veiled in a thin cloack of pseudoscientific analysis. It appears that he starts from the theory that some populations have higher IQ:s and then he massages the numbers until he can "prove" his original hypothesis of bias between some populations. I will not trust any number that man quotes because figuring out who he computed it would be a waste of time. IMHO, YMMV and so on but this has been his way or working for at least three decades. So, yes, crackpot radars ahoy.

Although it would be cool to pat oneself in the back and say yes, we finns are really smart... seeing Vanhanens work quoted here makes me actually a bit shamed.
My first online paid job was writing fake reviews by the hundreds on that and similar sites like TER (the escort review) years ago. Every review site for sex work is rigged I'm sure I wasn't the only one hired to do it. Feds lately have targeted banks for dealing with sex workers for unknown reasons, like when banks dropped porn valley actress's accounts. Who knows why they decided now to takedown the site and not backpages or TER, and dozens more clones of myredbook.

Most are independent sex workers, you can spot the micros run by gangsters (brosan) that are trafficking women pretty easily.

Those guard clauses is something that I've got more used to doing since using ReSharper as it is something it is fairly agressive in suggesting (and will do the refactoring for you).

It's not something I'd previously considered doing as it seems a bit unnatural at first, but reducing nesting does improve readability over dogmatically sticking to "single return point".
To be fair, based on some of the other statements I've seen attributed to Churchill, I wouldn't be surprised if he had actually said that.
