Catholics, in particular Franciscans, have also been extremely useful in describing, preserving and creating codices describing the life, history and mythology of the precolumbians, not to mention their roles in the syncretic emerging culture. Once could cite [Bernardino de Sahagún](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernardino_de_Sahag%C3%BAn) for instance.
IMO Huxley's predictions are much harder to appreciate given the relativity of cultural norms to what we grew up experiencing. While it's certainly possible to be desensitized to totalitarian oppression, I think it's harder to really appreciate the a more gradual cultural shift wrt acceptance of mood-altering prescription drugs, sexuality, mass market entertainment, etc.

Not scientific in the slightest, I just think it's easier to miss the subtler ways that Huxley's predictions have been realized.
There's nothing wrong with objects or classes in OCaml -- it's just that most problems can be expressed using a simplest abstraction technique such as modules. OCaml has steadily improved in every recent release to further reduce the set of problems that need objects (open types, GADTs, first class modules, destructive substitution in module types).

For problems where objects and classes are a good fit (e.g. something requiring open recursion), then OCaml objects are fine and sound. They are used quite nicely in CIL for implementing the visitor pattern, and I like them in the Lablgtk OCaml bindings as well. They also provide a nice bridge to foreign code in OCamlJava and js_of_ocaml when compiling to platforms that make more use of objects.

It's worth noting that class types and object types are distinct in OCaml, so you can often use objects without involving classes at all. This is explained in Real World OCaml:
https://realworldocaml.org/v1/en/html/objects.html

Not using OCaml because it possesses an optional object and class extension is a little strange. It never really gets in the way...
But you're not using async (angular)module loading.Angular modules cannot be loaded async in.You might be able to inject services after the app is bootstrapped but it involves using global variables,which totally defeat the purpose of dependency injection.

It's one of the biggest global enterprises around. And they work in a very high tech sector.

Those numbers are not really stratospheric, offering less may make the positions impossible to fill.
Sadly, we are learning this is not an either-or proposition: it's perfectly logical that some elements of society will seek to narcoticize us while others worry about increasing our surveillance and control.

And the worst part? Both of these elements do these things because we ask them to.
Any business that's paying to fly an employee half way around the world is also paying for their meals and personal expenses while they're there.
Why is this at the top? It's obvious flame bait.

Yeah, we get it. You are really worried about yourself and your time. Yeah, we get it that you want to make a generalization that "All the other distributions" don't have 100% support. Which is obviously not true by any respect. I'm typing on one right now that both Debian and Arch work without issue.

It's been almost 10 years since I've had that experience with Linux. This is over 4 desktops and 3 laptops. Can we please bury this meme?

What is it with Linux that someone really needs to hop in an talk about what's wrong with it, no matter what the topic beyond the mere mention of Linux?

Edit: To clarify a bit about this silly meme. Many people find some hunk of junk that the don't use anymore and that they never thought about working with Linux when they bought it. Then they are surprised it doesn't just work. To me, that isn't much different then buying a PC and trying to install OSX on it and complaining about how it didn't just magically work. Many laptops and desktops are certified and targeted to work with Linux. From many of the large manufacturers. You obviously might have trouble if you are trying to cram something onto something that it is not designed for. Are you even an engineer? How do you not realize that?

Show HN: Safely share and compare your Startup Engineer Salary
Hi HN,

This is a mixture between a Show and Ask HN. I really appreciate your time and thoughts on this.

My name is Alexis and I would like to show you something I've been working on on the technical side: It's called Huddle Metrics.

Huddle Metrics is basically a safe place for you to anonymously share and compare sensitive data with your community. Sort of like a very controlled collaborative spreadsheet, really. Or a survey. But hopefully better.

Think engineering salary and your equity in the company.

Information that you track yourself but that's too taboo to share. If a pool of the data existed, however, it would be beneficial to you contributing because you would get to see what's market.

After running a pilot Huddle throughout this year with a bunch of startups, my friend Adrian and I created a system that allows you to create any sort of Huddle or "Data Community" for different topics.

For demo-purposes I've created a Huddle around Startup Engineer Salaries because I've seen this discussion come up a bunch of times and I'm an engineer myself.

To get an idea please check out http://demo.huddlemetrics.com/start/1040592633 (This is super raw and imperfect but I feel it works well enough)

To the non-engineering public here at HN: I'd love to open the discussion further than the demo and hear what you think would be other immensely valuable metrics to share and compare with the HN community.

Again, thank you for your time and consideration and please comment away with ideas, criticism and metrics you would like to see shared!

With best wishes,

Alexis
Not that well. The main reason they were the sole supplier in the first place was because they sold rare earths at prices low enough to drive all the other suppliers out of business; because of the amount of time it took mines and smelters to start running again, that gave them several years of monopoly. Repeat that a few times and other companies will learn not to even try competing.

In general in the US when it comes to wage and hour employment issues there is not a lot of punitive punishment handed out. The general relief is to be paid what you were supposed to be paid (the $40k in this case).

I think both sides of it go hand in hand. The government is only having such an easy time of going Orwellian on us because we've become so Huxlian and easily distracted.
The murder charges appeared to be a bullshit charade that both DPR and the "victim" knew. The transcripts are available online somewhere.

Some guy anonymously messages DPR, telling DPR that he found an exploit in the Silk Road, stole some information on a lot of big-time sellers, and was going to release it if DPR didn't pay him some large amount of money. DPR flat-out rejects the other. The guy then said he owed money to a dealer that he re-sold drugs to, explains that if DPR could settle his debts with the dealer then he'd be happy, and then he gave DPR that dealer's (anonymous) contact info.

If you're anonymously trying to blackmail someone, why on earth would you tell your target the contact information of a third party who knows where you live AND who shares a motive against you? The story as-is is barely believable.

The "dealer" then offers to solve the problem of the blackmailer for DPR, and asks for an amount of money, suspiciously a little lower than the amount the blackmailer wanted. DPR pays him, and no longer worries about his customer data seller being leaked.

There's no evidence that the "dealer"/assassin was a real person, or that any murder ever occurred. The dealer and the blackmailer only ever anonymously communicated with DPR, and no one else. The blackmailer introduced the dealer/assassin to DPR unprompted. No one besides each other knew who they were. It seems likely they're the same person. The whole thing appears to be a weird charade for the blackmailer to barter with DPR down a price to not leak the data.
While I agree that legality and morality are not equivalent (in practice or theory), strictly the parent comment didn't assert that they were. You can have moral responsibility for an act without appreciable moral weight, it just doesn't matter much that you do.
How do you know the investors' motivations and desires? They could just be trying to topple Facebook, as batshit as that may sound.
Thank you for sharing that link. It's a great summary. As we turn into a hedonistic society, the impetus for doing good and morality will deteriorate.

There are much finer examples of ancient literature, surviving versions of the Epic of Gilgamesh can be as old as the Code of Hammurabi, some Old Babylonian tablets from 1800 BCE survive though the version Sîn-lēqi-unninni compiled in Akkadian is a relative latecomer at 1200 BCE.

While I have only read it in translations, I find that it deals with concepts of personal death, friendship, loss, jealousy, love and sexuality in ways that are remarkably erudite and sophisticated.

"The Lament for Ur" is utterly stunning to me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lament_for_Ur

and "The Debate between Bird and Fish" or "The Debate between Winter and Summer" are incredibly creative works:

Some of the Pyramid Texts of the 5th and 6th Dynasties (about 2400 BCE) --especially Utterance 373 for the Pharaoh Teti-- are quite beautiful.

The author should maybe consider renaming the project. The first thing that comes to my (german) mind when I hear KZ is concentration camp.
Very different. Corporations frequently think like this under the guise of duty to shareholders. Many do the right thing, but frequently they do a cost-benefit analysis against the damage from getting caught.

They had to apply for working visas. The salary is mentioned in the visa application papers. I can't believe the guys in charge of the reviewing process let this go so I guess they are just lying.
If I had just put some HTML files on a shared host I wouldn't have been able to learn Angular and Heroku fundamentals while building it ;)
Were the wages of the people you flew here, converted to USD, less than US minimum wage?

I'm genuinely curious. California minimum wage is $9/hour, or $18K for 50 forty-hour weeks.

It's not that I think they have low or zero value. Or even personally care about the sport. It's simply a numbers game and I rate Football rather highly as it's actively enjoyed by a large number of people. For comparison more people in the US watched an football game than read a book for fun last year.

Semi conductor design by comparison is something few people directly care about but it directly impacts their lives increasing it's value immensely.

PS: History for example is important, but the study of history has fairly limited impact outside of entertainment for most people.
There's something that's almost religious or magical about the way people understand national borders. Pay the workers $1.21/hour while they're on one side of an imaginary line, it's fine. On the other side of the line, it's despicable.

Shouldn't the ethics be independent of the imaginary line? It's either wrong in both cases or right in both cases.
WODI (not WOBI) didn't exist when we started Real World OCaml, and we developed OPAM along the way.

We've also started putting Windows support in place via Appveyor: https://github.com/ocaml/opam/blob/master/appveyor.yml

It just can't be activated by default since GitHub doesn't support multiple commit updates yet, so we have to chose between Travis and Appveyor. When GitHub sorts that out, we can have Linux, OSX and Windows tests for all new packages. In general, help porting packages to Windows is very welcome from interested parties.
""Street feeding is one of the worst things to do, because it keeps people in homeless status," he says. "I think it's very unproductive, very enabling, and it keeps people out of recovery programs."

Instead, he thinks food sharing programs should only be located near what he calls the "core areas of recovery": mental health, substance abuse and job readiness services. Otherwise, he says, homeless people may spend more time pursuing food than the services that will help them get back on their feet."

Not the argument I was expecting, but I would say I think making it illegal to feed people is the wrong.
I use one of the boutique systems (the ZaReason UltraLap) as my work laptop and like it a lot, but when my home laptop started to give up the ghost for the fourth or fifth time (a 6-year old Dell Inspiron 1525), I realized that for home use I need the secondary parts market to be active. I fix computers that break (the Inspiron is on its second motherboard, third power board, and the screen and backlight inverter of someone else's 1525 that they were throwing out.) The ThinkPad T430 is cheap enough that it often undercuts the boutiques, but I'm not locked out of ebaying for a new power board.

> In case you think that's theoretical, a bug with integer overflow let an attacker creating 184 billion bitcoins out of thin air. To fix this, a new implementation was pushed out, which ended orphaning more than 8 hours of transactions. In other words, even after 8 hours you can't be certain that Bitcoin transactions are durable.

That was in 2010. Most of the users take certain level of risk, also different kinds of people have different risk appetite. If you really think this is still a relevant risk, then probably you shouldn't use cryptocurrencies at all. Stay with the safe and proven almighty dollar.
Hello everyone! We created tug as a tool to help people dockerize applications and run them during development.

"Street feeding is one of the worst things to do, because it keeps people in homeless status," he says. "I think it's very unproductive, very enabling, and it keeps people out of recovery programs."

What exactly, in this economy, should I tell a homeless person who is hungry? "Get a job"?
You have a good point - the different blogging platforms do a good job. And create virtuous ecosystems around their code in the form of theme creators, hosting providers and consultants.

I think Kenton is onto a winner with Sandstorm - it stands half a chance to actually unify different blogging platforms. So while you may use a different blogging tool and comment - you have a unified email-like identity that follows you between tools, nodes and networks.
I really wish we could all, liberals and conservatives, could come up with a "grand compromise" with regards to the homeless. Elements of the compromise:

1) Guarantee all people access to cheap, government provided dormitory style living, with a door that locks, a kitchen and basic food staples, and security screening of fellow residents. There would be different forms of permanent living for the mentally ill, drug addicts, recovering addicts, or able body people who have fallen on hard times. It would seem reasonable to require the sane and able bodied to do 20 hours of very basic work (picking up trash, watching security cameras, etc.) in return for the living. [this line has been edited, see footnote]

2) Re-enact and enforce vagrancy laws. No sleeping in the street, no panhandling, no begging, no telling manipulative sob stories on the subway.

3) Make the support for 1) the responsibility of the community they are from. The problem right now is any community that wishes to be generous to the homeless becomes a homeless magnet. This creates an incentive for cities not to be charitable, and to not take care of their own. The cities that are generous then get mocked for their homeless problem. Instead, if San Francisco police arrest a vagrant, they should make an effort to find out where his closest family from, or where his last established residency or hometown is, and then give him a one-way bus ticket back to that town.

Unfortunately, liberals are generally against #2, conservatives are against #1, no one even talks about #3 and so nothing gets done and the problem, which could be so easily solved given our resources, persists on and on.

(a) Edit/footnote: obviously many homeless people have drug and mental health problems that would make dorm living and performing a government job infeasible. There also needs to be funded supportive housing and programs for those cases. Also, there needs to be different levels of dorm living so those trying to escape drug addiction are not around those who are still using. The dorm living would need rules and management to prevent the problems that plague homeless shelter.
Is it just us or are we living with the Jetsons?
You should take a Java certification or something and find a job as a developer ASAP. There will be employers willing to invest on you during the relearning curve. If it ever happens again being assigned a non development position then its better to leave ASAP as opposed to waiting. Try to become a freelance to gain more control on your assignments, first locally then remote.

Keep in mind these are the restrictions for the entire archive. Here, on the other hand, are the policies just for the LoC Rare Book & Specialized Collection Reading Room:

tl;dr I can walk in and look at some rare books.

The National Archives is similar, as well as NYC's archives downtown. I've been in both and have easily handled old-but-not-so-old (1800s) volumes. Putting that kind of restriction on the entire archives throws the baby out with the bathwater.

It certainly could use a bit more flair, I think. I chose to avoid that because the goal was to just have something tangible ready by the end of a weekend. I threw the site together while I was looking to switch jobs, so that I could at least say I have minimal experience with frontend MVC. I did end up getting hired elsewhere, so it fulfilled its purpose. Funny enough, we don't use frontend MVC frameworks at all here, but it was a cool learning experience nonetheless.
Its at the lower end for engineers - but 120 hours a week is absurd.

If you use that hourly wage and assume a 10 hour work day, its very significantly less than what a developer would make in India.
Exit seems to imply the "get rich quick" scenarios of a buyout or IPO. I'm saying an alternative exists: Make money running a business the old fashioned way.

The last company I was a part of had a similar level of investment, and they aren't selling. They aren't looking at an IPO, instead they manage a healthy 20M/year in revenue, with a a healthy profit margin. Not everything is an "exit"

I like that the Chick quote references investments in at least 7 companies which no longer exist, at least 2 of which went bankrupt. The information does not seem current.

2) Make being homeless illegal.

It sounds like he was addressing concentrated efforts to feed the homeless - groups setting up tables with food to hand out to all who want it - not someone coming out of a McDonald's who doesn't want to finish their fries.

To address your actual point, something helpful might be to direct them to a local shelter. (And yup, they're shitty places to be, and that's another problem that needs solving.)
