Some constructive criticism: I find the body font terribly distracting. The x-height is borderline too tall for paragraph text, you'll want something where you can easily make out the ascenders. In this case I'm not sure if it's just too big or if the font just won't work as a paragraph font. The 'w' character is very distracting.

There's clearly a taste for good fonts (seriously, these are not bad fonts). It just needs some slight improvements for it to be easy and enjoyable for me to read.

This dichotomy implies a dualism, as if there's a clear cut "I" and then there's "my mind". In fact, our mind is us, and it working 'without us knowing' is just 'it working without verbalization of our thoughts' which is a different thing I'd say.
Storeshopnow in Google results for other websites
while using google to search for a xda-developers forum post I got results back that appear to be from xda but are really from storeshopnow.com mimicking real results. Anyone else see this ?

Ask HN: Should GitHub Enable Organization Wikis?
At the moment you can create wikis for individual repos but there is no way you can create a wiki across an organization. This feature is important for teams that work across repos and need to store their knowledge base at a single place.

Isn't it an independent agency of the government?

Actually, there has been some interesting demonstrating that epigenetic influences can affect gene expression in the offspring. Which isn't quite Lamarckism, but does imply some level of passing along experiences to the offspring.

Which isn't to say that the post to which you were replying didn't misunderstand what was meant by the word "agency".

I used to laugh at people who believed in an agency model and thought that humans were the "most evolved" (as opposed to fast breeding special like cockroaches, or for that matter cousins of ours like chimpanzees). I ascribed it to the hierarchical victorian world in which Darwin published (and the famous picture from that era of ape -> man). But of course it's ancient.

Hey Jason. Thanks for the reply. I always love hearing feedback on the things I make. My font has been bugging me a bit as well.

"The court said: Whether looking at a cached copy of protected content, without downloading or printing it, amounts to infringement. Lower courts held that it does, a finding unanimously rejected by the Supreme Court.".
Do you suggest the presence of humans reduces the reproductive success of non-domesticated cats? Otherwise, how do you understand evolutionary pressure?
I live with two cats who both think that you rubbing their bellies while they're sleeping is only their natural due, and they often protest when you stop.
The domestication of dogs happened a lot longer ago, and probably a lot more organically (more like what you're thinking). The wolves would follow us around while we hunted (or, alternatively, we'd happen on one of their meals and chase them off), and the less human averse among them got more food.

Cats happened about the same time agriculture did. They were attracted to the rodents, and less rodents meant we were happier - and they were happier with a reliable food source. At the beginning it might have helped to not be afraid of humans, but we probably didn't mess with them too much because they were helping us out with all the mice in our grains.

So the difference in behavior is clear, not just from a social species standpoint, but from the domestication path:

The European Wolf was domesticated to dogs as a hunting partner; the African Wildcat was domesticated to kill the rodents that devoured our foodstuffs. For the few few thousand years that was probably enough - they didn't have to make friends with us, just keep our food safe.

Earliest cat domestication evidence is 9,500 years old; earliest dog domestication evidence is about 36,000 years old.

They've still got quite a ways to go ;) Now if we could just start breeding them for social/intelligence instead of how weird and fluffy we can make them. Hard to morally advocate for breeding when the shelter/feral population is so damn high, though. (I feel the same way about dogs, though, tbh).
The idea is that streaming can never be illegal under current german laws, so if the server is just handing an mp4 to the client, then it’s perfectly legal.

Some Go API style nits:

- it's unusual to pass a map with expected keys like this. Normally you'd pass a struct like:
p := New(Options{
BaseColor: "...",
Color: "...",
Generator: "...",
})

- You could define the known patterns as constants so they're documented and so users don't have to worry about typos

- Field names are normally camel-case without underscores, e.g., "Base_color" should be "BaseColor"

- You could use Go's build-in image/color package instead of accepting RGB strings, but that's more of a judgement call.

If you're accepting pull requests I might send you some, but they're breaking API changes so it's up to you.

All-in-all though it's a cool project and I'm glad to see it in Go :)

> The only evidence given in the article that the previous pope refuted evolution wasn't even from him - it was from something written by one of his advisors as the article states.

Its important to understand that, in general, fairly major shifts in the approach of the heirarchy on issues in the Catholic Church are often signaled by very subtle differences in wording from the Pope and/or his inner circle.

Ask HN: What makes an API good?
I've consumed a great deal of major, public facing APIs over the years, some I've liked more than others. However, I'm writing a series of APIs for a new project, and ahead of starting I've documented the things I like about some APIs and things I don't about others. For example, uri construction, documentation, response time, flexibility, code samples and organization of taxonomy help me differentiate good and bad.

I thought I'd ask, what do you think makes for a good api?
The BBC just did a 3 part special called Cat Watch where they follow the lives of several cats in a small town in the UK, attaching small cameras to the cats to see what they get up to, and demonstrating things like how cats use their whiskers to "see" things right in front of them because their vision is poor at close range and how they communicate with us. I recommend it if you're a cat person.
I'm curious on how the process works.

SCOTUS: scope of the states’ authority to tax the income of their residents
"Make yourself a question, if ALL movement stop (include atoms), will time pass?"

That's pretty much asking "If time stops, will time pass?" - which doesn't really answer anything. Stopping all movement is not something we ever see in the universe (well, we couldn't see or experience it anyway). And yet we see movement - we see everything changes.

I think time may be a human construct to order these changes, but it is also a property of the universe (whether fundamental or emergent) which allows such change to happen in the first place.

"What's the mindset behind the broken permissions on Android?

Where any app that wants to change behavior when you get a call must request permission to your IMEI and calling/called number? Or why the broken, upfront, all or nothing model is still even used?"

At the time android created its permissions model, most of these issues were not obvious, or it would have been done differently.

Remember, of course, that prior to things like android (the first version of the iphone only had webapps), permission models of any sort were pretty much unheard of. Flip phones running java apps, or blackberries, had apps that got to do whatever they wanted.

Permissions changes are being slowly made in android.
The same way you'd slowly change most serious things about something with billions of users.

Android permissions aren't great. When Android was being designed (before Google bought it), the permissions were a huge step forward from desktop apps, which can still do anything at all.
Arguably the very concept of upfront permissions is inferior to asking when needed, but attributing malice to the choice is silly.
It'd also be really hard (or even impossible) to change without breaking all the apps out there.

Note that beyond just thwarting many attempts at hijacking CAs on an individual connection level, HPKP and/or TACK form the basis of a surveillance system that drastically changes the risk/reward for using compromised CA certificates to conduct mass surveillance. Mass MITM apparatuses will have to assume that some of their victims speak HPKP/TACK and will detect forged certificates; when that happens, there's a decent chance the incident burns the whole CA.

It's not a perfect fix to the CA problem, but it is a huge step in the right direction (which is towards decentralization and peer trust).
