Supportive care makes a difference. It isn't a cure, but preventing dehydration at least means the infected person doesn't die of dehydration.
I'm starting to experience this personally [1] [2]. in the past two weeks, my posts are getting systematically buried by people that disagree with me. In response, I've been trying to make more controversial posts. I have a decent amount of karma to burn (lost 10 points in 2 days), but I'm definitely seeing a trend. Politically unpopular opinions have been downvoted to all hell, but I am unable to be sure if this isn't just the people in the conversation with me downvoting my posts.

I have, however, been scraping the bottom of the comment barrel, and have found quite a few gems that were clearly buried due to disagreements with the premise of the post, rather than the HN guidelines.

my basic rule of thumb is: upvote everything I reply to, whether or not I disagree. if I see grey text, and it isn't an obvious troll (or meets the criteria kevinskii talks about), I upvote.

> "The software industry estimated that, if export controls were removed, US companies could sell as much as $60 billion a year in encryption hardware and software by 2000."

He writes that in the context of describing the business leaders' arguments at the time. He could have written it much later. For example, I could write the following today: "Ronald Reagan estimated that unemployment would drop 2% by 1988".

That said, I see no definite references in the article past 1997.
It is funny, with all this new technology I fear grow older less and less.

Creation dates are from the most recent domain creation record, and can be reset from a domain ownership transfer. I lost my precious domain creation date of September 1993 when I transfered my domain from the ISP who registered it /in their own name/ (argh) to my own ownership in 1998.

Edward Snowden proved how this is far from secure. There are people from the NSA, who if they wanted to spy on a girlfriend, could walk out with those keys.

The underlying problem is that you're no longer relying on technological security and mathematical certainty, but rather on human security and the capriciousness of people who earn $65,000/year to keep secrets.

There's no security at all there.

2% of revenue on top of existing payment processing fees seems steep. I guess convenience has a price and this will be great for shops that want to get going quickly and are not price-sensitive.

Seems like you are self-selecting for small payment amounts. If I had a $100 item I'm not sure why you should get $2 as opposed to 20 cents on a $10 transaction. I believe Shopify used to use this pricing model but changed as they were losing out on potential customers with higher priced products.
If it takes off, this is going to create some really valuable data for Google and give them a much better pitch for brands.

Yes it will work. Partial success has benefits. So if you miss 3% or even 50%, you're making less work for those who have to contain those who get through.
The fact that you can have something responsive enough to mirror human movement is very impressive.

Pretty interesting. Number 49 (Tandy), brings back some nostalgia. Tandy was the first computer I had growing up and the first machine I learn to program on.
I was actually thinking of doing something like this too, but for just finances and doing their taxes, I wasn't planning on making any money at all, but maybe just a youtube channel or a blog and to just put out the knowledge that I learned from my research/life.

It boggles my mind how my friends are so inept at managing their finances. How they have so much debt and don't know how to divide their paychecks, to put money in their savings while paying off their credit cards but while still using those same credit cards. I would like to know more about finances such as which credit cards to get, which banks are good for me, what kind of savings plan to start (Roth IRA, 401K, w/es), etc. from a knowledgeable and objective 3rd party with no ties to any of the companies they're advocating for, and that's the problem I face when I try to google these things because there's just so much information out there and it's hard to differentiate what's ultimately the best for me. Also, taxes, I have no clue how they're done I just give it to the guy at H&R block and just leave, maybe it's better this way, maybe not, I have no clue.

Another thing would be your career. i.e. I want to be a doctor. What exactly do I have to do. Step by step instructions based on time period, schooling: what schools would be good, what majors to choose depending on your location, how/when to study/take the MCATs, how/what to expect when I apply/get accepted, what happens during med school. Just an overall timeline, to do list and how to do it, and what exactly the profession/specialty does (i.e. doctors look at patients, yes, but ~80% of their time is devoted to paperwork). Adding a comprehensive guide such as this would be nice too, but for different professions, especially government jobs.

To be fair, libertarian political philosophers often hold up law enforcement as a shining example of why they're libertarians and not anarcho-capitalists: They believe that there are some things that only government can even hope to handle in an acceptable manner.

That said, I can make no claims for the self-inconsistent mishmash of far-right reactionary and jingoist flippity-flap that tends to pass for libertarianism in a certain country that need not be named.

Thank you! I would create a thought-provoking video ad campaign that individuals ages 17-25 could relate to. Asking simple questions, how will you lease your first car? Allow a brief pause, then cut to a clip of the app and someone giving that answer, then fade over with 'LifeLesson' and where to download the app.
Then we would have ... one more version of POSIX.
Jacksonville. Certain areas of town are known for high crime and you take a risk working those parts of town. This was a long time ago, but two or three drivers got killed in like a month's time. It sucks for the people who live in those areas that they can't get good taxi service but you only get one chance at life. I can understand that desperate people do desperate things, but I am not desperate. I like my life so I prefer to stay away from those areas of town even today.
I don't really see 4 as a problem, at least not on a threaded forum. Subthreads are supposed to go on tangents, that's what they're for - the deeper you go, the further away you get from the abstract subject involving everyone to more and more context-specific conversations between fewer and fewer people. It is a discussion forum after all, you can't expect everyone to play for the crowd.

Although - this fact doesn't really work to Hacker News' benefit at the moment, since it doesn't support folding threads by default (though apparently that's coming) so side-tracking can be more of a bother than it probably should.
I just want to take the opportunity to state that, being a Linux user but not any sort of serious sysadmin, navigating all this information is very confusing. This is an old bug report? And yet Ubuntu released a patch this morning? Why didn't I get a patch on Debian? I can see on ubuntu's bash page on launchpad what bugs were fixed in the most recent version, but which vulnerabilities were fixed in previous versions? Exactly what is a given distro still vulnerable to, right now? Looking at the dates posted, why does it look like there is such a long timeline between finding the bug, fixing it, and having it show up in the distro?

I have answers to some of the above questions, but I'm restating them rhetorically to make the point that this stuff should be a lot more straightforward. I think this info should be available in a much more straightforward manner by the distros.
Well, actually they do, but after a bit more googling they're not net carbon emitters, and old forests apparently still can capture net carbon. So my point isn't as strong as I thought it was.

Trees take in CO2 due to photosynthesis, but they also respirate, taking in O2 and emitting CO2. The net amount of CO2 taken in decreases as the tree ages... so young forests do take in more CO2, but old trees still usually take in slightly more CO2 on the net, due to repairing themselves.
Can you imagine someone hiring for such a position using such poor pre-interview screening that reversing a list made sense as an interview?

The premise of your remark indicates the absurdity of the claim of relevance. An interview for a position responsible for writing a new language in a language sufficiently low level to require a new `list.reverse` would invariably require implementation of a list type as well...what language includes <List> without a reverse?

No it isn't, you proceed to misquote him again by missing out half of his point.

Then quote his goddamn message, instead of cutting it in half.
That is the claim the story makes for instance:

The bigger issue is not consumer behavior but how Nation-States react. If they balkanize and securitize the internet then consumers may not be able to access amazon/google/facebook even if they wanted to (see Great Firewall of China). This is exactly the point Google and members of the US Senate are making in the article.

They could likely say the same thing about randomly-selected dishes from your cuisine. You drink milk, like a baby? And not even your own species, but out of the bottom of a cow? And sometimes you let it go bad to the point where it solidifies? And sometimes you take THAT and let it grow MOLD?!

And it's not just the Japanese... Ask a Southern European what they think of Wonder Bread, for example.
What you are describing might be true of other countries, but that isn't the way it works in the US. You aren't too far off on the military training issue, immediate obedience to orders is incredibly important - at the lowest ranks. The US military has an extremely long institutional memory, and over a couple hundred years they've figured out a way of doing this that works pretty well. The conditioning for immediate obedience to orders and illusion of immortality wears off after a couple of years, right around the time that personnel start picking up rank and assuming positions of responsibility over others. So by that time they won't be charging any machinegun nests, they'll be in a position to order others to do so - at this point it should be clear to you why filtering out intelligent people is a bad idea :) The conditioning wears off, but you can't fix stupid.

And here I was wondering why a few months ago legit emails that I asked for were starting to show up in my spam folder, including all the facebook emails I asked facebook to send me. (I don't log into facebook so if someone messages me or invites me to an event I'll need an email otherwise I'll miss it).

So now I have to check my spam folder emails regularly and put filter on the domains that end up there "no, don't send to spam filter."

Why can't you just use a filter instead of messing up other people's email?

How a Major Bank Hacked Its Java Security
So this approach might not be foolproof. Does that mean we shouldn't expend the very small amount of effort that this approach would require? Do we have any reason to think that IR thermometers are so inaccurate that they aren't worth using? (For that matter, where does the article say they will use IR thermometers?) And while a person MIGHT be able to slip through after taking a fever reducer, is there a good reason to think that a meaningfully large number of people will do that?

Comments like this strike me as textbook examples of making the perfect the enemy of the good.
Because this existed at a monopoly doesn't mean monopolies are good. Arguing from the standpoint of perfect markets makes no sense, only in a theoretical self consistent system, but it will have little bearing on reality.

An analogous argument can be made that war is good because DARPA funds research. We don't need war to have government sponsored research.

Because these occurred in one location under the umbrella of single entity doesn't make them better than if they were singular accomplishments by hundreds of organizations.
Yup. Just like using Adblock hurts companies who have decent advertisements on their site, not just abusive advertisers. For sites I frequent that do not have abusive advertisements, I make exceptions for them in AdBlock. Otherwise, everything gets wiped out, on every site. If you're caught in the swath of the innocents, sorry, but I'm not sorry.

Long ago, companies, startups, blogs, etc, declared war. They decided that their readers, their users, their customers aren't good enough and they need to wring from them more money, more attention, more clicks, more engagement. And they are willing to do whatever they can get away with in order to do this, no matter how much it pisses off their customers. I'm not dealing with it. I used to only block actual spammers. And then it got to be so many emails to opt out of, and so much junk coming in. I used to click "unsubscribe", and then they started to pretend the word unsubscribe meant "I'm a real human, spam me more!" I'm happy to give you my email address, because you demand that I do so. But the minute I hear from you at a time when I did not ask you to speak, I no longer care what you have to say, ever again. Why should I go out of my way to figure out how to opt-out when I never opted in?

It's not that I'm walking out of a store without buying anything. It's that I'm walking into a store, being followed by a salesman who is telling other stores in the area that I am out shopping, and then being upsold on everything whether I want to buy it or not, for weeks, months, or years after I walk out of the store. And when that happens, I'm going to tell my friends not to shop there. That is what "report spam" means.

It's the right thing to do, and I'm not going to apologize for it. I would say "just stop being abusive and I'll stop reporting you as spam", but no, like online advertisements, it's too late for that. I will always block your ads, and I will always report you as spam. The privilege has been abused for too long.
Yes, so following this logic, imagine how much more carbon is stored when a new forest is planted vs. a forest simply maintaining itself. In the first case all the trees, plants, animals, etc. are newly stored carbon, since before there were no trees and now there are.
Thanks. Looks like this is what I am looking for.
How does it work? Syncs in what terms?
BTW: sorry for unfortunate typos on my end, my comment was not directed at you.
Like you said it comes down to how much it costs to extract that 2.5% from the exhaust. One benefit to this over just adding more turbines is that it can be done aftermarket as a cheaper way to provide additional capacity to the grid without the expense of building a new or expanding plant(s).

> The first customers will probably be oil, gas, and mining companies that use large generators to produce power in remote areas. The generator could save those companies millions in fuel, Scullin says. “There aren’t many levers these companies can pull to reduce costs that much,” he adds.

This aligns with the cost centered evaluation too. These installations have huge usage and transport costs relative to a normal generation station.

I genuinely have no idea what you're trying to say.

Everythin you write makes me think that you're saying that diversity means a company has to lower the bar; and that they get other benefits for doing that - public image is one example you give.

The only possible conclusion to draw from that is that yu're saying people with a protected characteristic are not as "good" as the general population.
“That’s a west coast thing,” said Mo, who grew up in California. “You use tildes instead of colons or dashes, it’s more like handwriting.”

Interesting. I also grew up in California but never saw the tilde used as a colon or dash. I thought it was more used as a replacement for periods when the author wanted to come off as light/flirty/caring/sing-song.

What is Typesafe Activator?
I've seen a number of interesting threads which inevitably end up with the first post blotted out to near-oblivion, and about half of it in various states of erasure.

Hacker News seems designed to select for intellectual novelty rather than conversation. It's unfortunate that disagreement even for petty reasons acts as a global censor. Different groups of people downvoting whatever they personally think is uninteresting, irrelevant or wrong gets in the way of the site's utility for everyone else.
Who have you worked with other that Plastc?
Glad to see we (HP) have a pretty old one and we have DEC as well, I'm guessing we're the biggest holder of class A addresses. Now we're splitting so it'll be interesting to see how that gets distributed.

"Yes." And leave it at that. he'll move on to the next line of questioning. Acceptance of the speed you were going, along with a confirmation that you were not being inattentive while driving (which is the point of the question) will solve your issues much faster. I have gotten out of speeding tickets by simply stating "Yes".

Thanks. Raywenderlich.com seems to be a popular choice. I will check it out. What is your app called and how's it doing?
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm not suggesting that the majority is evil. On the contrary, the majority are simply lazy and complacent. In 1984 this was captured perfectly. There is the Inner Party, who is a small, elite group who fabricate the lies and call the shots. There's the Outer Party, the relatively uneducated and loyal group that naively believes in the party's ideals and does its bidding (e.g. the police), and there's the general populace (what Orwell labeled "the proles).

The most remarkable thing about the setting in 1984 is that almost everyone believes that the Party is altruistic and noble and does everything (including conducting wars) for the greater good, and that any imperfections in the way the system works are unintended and can be fixed. Indeed, keeping up this illusion is so important for social order that it is the primary motivation behind the Inner Party's desire for total control through things like state-sponsored propaganda and ubiquitous surveillance.
