I see some parallels, and time that has passed by is also a weak excuse. Even I think, that many native Americans also still suffer from the treatment their ancestors got.

But: You can't excuse one wrong with another wrong. The fight about the TLDs might be some little thing, but what happened to those people is an outspoken injustice and I can't comprehend, how modern countries could do such things in the last decades.

The comparison to native Americans is good, because it shows, that the methods are still the same, the deeds are just hidden better nowadays.
It may just not fit for you. I feel the same way about C++ -- I understand the strengths of a pay-for-what-you-use language with a ridiculously powerful template library, but it just never came naturally to hand for me.
Perhaps a good starting point would be allowing me to sign a petition when I order a .io domain. Obviously this would require action by large domain providers, but it would be a good way to raise awareness I think.

I am no expert, but I find it better to look at debts credits together. Debt looks scary, but when other countries owe the US trillions too, it balances out somewhat. The net international investment position is an aggregate measure of how much over-leveraged the country is as a whole, and looks much less stark. This combines government debt with citizen assets, which is good and bad - masks federal policy issues, but also accounts for the artificially low taxes in the US and the impact that has on relative wealth placement.
Some comments degrade the quality of the conversation. We might disagree about which ones, but surely we can agree about that, right? The obvious candidates are purely asshole comments, trolling comments, intentionally racist comments, etc., and there are less obvious ones too. (Almost any joke where the author feels a need to reply, "guess no one around here has a sense of humor" after being downvoted probably fits.)

The discussion is better if those comments are lower on the page and, ideally, discouraged from being made at all. Downvoting does both.

> Then all you have is upvoting, which is based purely on merit. It sounds like people don't like the idea of forum meritocracy, though.

I don't understand what this means or what a "meritocracy" is in this setting. (The moderators are in charge; the highest ranked users will never form a ruling class or be in power. Most forums are not "meritocracies", "socialist exeriments", "democracies", "plutocracies", "oligarchies", "monopolies", or anything that implies something other than a loosely managed commenting system.)

HN has many readers that know an absolute shitload about different subjects, and I'd like them to share interesting information and anecdotes about interesting articles. I don't want to read stupid jokes and memes on HN, because there are other places that are better for that. So I like that there are ways to explicitly encourage certain comments and explicitly discourage others.

Yes and my experience is that valgrind is a tremendously slow way to do one-off debugging of a suspected memory leak. The instrumentation in tcmalloc is really different as it has almost no cost (depending on the size of the system you might want to adjust the sample parameter for highly multithreaded programs) and is running at all times so you can use it to troubleshoot in production. When I've used valgrind the program was so slow it wasn't the kind of thing you could put under a live workload.
Rackspace Mail. It's Rackspace. The big high-end service guys with the 24/7/365 live support (phone/chat/email, even 4AM on Christmas Eve). Except their e-mail service is cheap at $10/month for 5 mailboxes ($2/mailbox after that). They give you a 100% uptime SLA. I have used them for my domains for many years, and there has never been an outage.
FWIW, my experience with your link:

The lack of any indicators at all was frustrating. I had to take physical action to determine whether something was a link. In practice I think I would just stop using the links. I think some kind of indication is needed.

The default underline was the best for me. I don't rule out that this is because I am used to the underlines. Going in I thought the dots would be bets, but I found them distracting. With practice they might be the best.

The angle brackets were by far the worst. It could be because I have seen enough HTML for angle brackets to have singificance, but I think it has more to do with parantheses and how we use them in text. I just found them distracting and they really took me out of the work.

Of the cuff thought... small superscripted dot or something? I'm used to seeing footnote or citation indicators in the corners and they generally don't take me out of whatever I'm reading.

This could mean a lot for suspension components like spindle nuts where torque is so critical. Not only would that potentially mean no more cotter pins and staking the nut to the spindle, the preload on a wheel bearing would be more precise potentially leading to an increased MTTF just by using a different fastener.

That's somewhat accurate. I'd not seen this TED talk either, so thanks.

The day-to-day didn't really change above a certain income, and that income limit (at least for me) was pretty low. Even living in both Manhattan and San Francisco where things are expensive.

All the things I enjoy aren't really that expensive. You don't need millions of dollars to read a book, watch a movie, listen to an album, or have sex. These things are only very marginally improved above let's say, the $75K mark. You don't even need millions of dollars to go out to eat every night.

Money can give you more discretionary time. But that free time can't be spent in any way (at least none that I found) that feels rewarding while everyone else you know or care about is at work. You are still bound to rest of the world. I think that's what I like about more European, or day I say socialist, lifestyles. I need other people to spend time with. I've found hanging out with extremely wealthy people who don't do anything to be extremely boring and almost uncomfortable.

If I woke up tomorrow and suddenly had $10 million I'm not sure I'd be any happier. I'd go out and buy some new clothes I guess, a bigger apartment maybe. I'd still wake up in the morning and turn on the radio to listen to NPR. I'd still eat the same yogurt, same strawberries.

People start to do silly things with money I don't understand. Giant TVs they don't know how to work, fancy cars they never drive. Or buy some house with rooms that sit empty. I'm just like, why? Why would you do that? When people say these things make them "happy" I wonder if we actually feel completely different emotions.
He is not calling for a free and open internet. He is essentially bringing it under government control by painting ISPs as bad guys.
Governments are not people. They neither have, nor claim, any human rights.

The UK and USA only ever claimed a legal right within the framework of their own laws. Despicable as their actions may be, they never pretended to claim a human right.

The displaced Chagossians, on the other hand, are claiming a human right to occupy the islands. That's different.
Sure. If you have celiac disease, try California. Your doctor can write you a note so that you don't have to eat food that could be debilitating or life-threatening.

Simple health issues aside, it's a weird fact I have trouble wrapping my head around that there's an uncrossable chasm between people who think prisoners should be given some measure of dignity and people who find the very idea laughable.

I would just wish for you (and for us all) a moment of vivid imagination and empathy. Imagine that the meat on the menu is dog or cat or human. Not just something you find distasteful, but something that provokes genuine sadness, and whose consumption you don't want a part of. By being convicted of a crime, should you lose the ability to say no to something you find morally unconscionable?
Yeah but getting assets to said cdn is annoyingish without having app server origin, I'd argue.
If your management sees it as an opportunity to advance, why not? It's about having the ability to do so vs not having it because somebody else decided this for you.
The 3 mile rule for model aircraft applies below 400 ft AGL only. I was thinking about small drones staying low.

Yes boilerplate
LTV. That's the key. With interest rates this low, you can pretty much justify any sales and marketing expense so long as customer attrition is low.

If New Relic has a USP (I am not qualified to weigh in on this), then I think they can go public and reward their investors with at least a market level return.

By that same token, the French that first colonized and settled the islands have a claim - they were there first. As do the British who conquered the possession from the French.

These situations are much more complicated than the surface view that the "big evil colonial empire" is picking on defenseless people.

If the original wrong of enslaving the population was corrected, the people relocated by force would have never been on the island in the first place. This of course is impossible.

There are many more similar arguments for either side that one could make. It just shows the unproductive nature of such disputes.

A much more productive approach would have been about compensation and rehabilitation of the displaced persons. Surely there are many things they need that can be provided to improve their lot in life. I strongly doubt that giving this island back (even if the military was willing to give it up) after all these years is going to do them any good.
The crane, by Google
Go has a rather specific purpose. It's intended for writing server-side web systems that will run fast and scale well. Since that's what Google does to make money, that makes sense. The available libraries reflect this - good support for dealing with many network connections at once, no GUI support.

It's not suitable for writing an OS, hard real time, highly generic libraries, or GUI programs. Within its niche, it's far better than the alternative, which is usually C++. Just the fact that it eliminates buffer overflows without running slow is enough to justify it.

There are lots of problems with Go. The concurrency isn't safe. The lack of generics forces overuse of reflection and "interface{}", Go's all-purpose type. The lack of exceptions forces far too many lines of "if err != nil { return err}", (or worse, a goto) which takes 3 lines of text every time. The "defer" mechanism is clunky. Lots of modern bells and whistles, from functional programming to generators, were omitted. Other than the lack of safe concurrency, those things don't cause operational problems in your data center. They just require more typing by the programmers. That's an acceptable cost. It beats spending time in a debugger.
> They also made the mistake of showing a link that includes the word "Typography"

Including some aesthetics-stretching cases seems like a fairly honest/transparent thing to do for an open-source project that someone is blogging about.

> It breaks the semantics of what the underline means — any bit that's underlined is supposed to be the link, and if it's not underlined it's not a link.

That's a reasonable way to look at it, but humans like us can be pretty flexible with semantics, thanks to pragmatics. If I see a link that covers most of a set of letters stuck together without a space, I tend to assume that the whole thing is a click target. Even if my assumption is wrong, my clicking error rate probably won't be too high, since I think that people tend not to hit the edges of pointing task targets.
If you look at their gallery exhibition page ( http://www.kunsthallesanktgallen.ch/en/exhibitions/current.h... ) you'll find this sentence:

We also thank Dr. iur. Bruno Glaus for the help in legal matters.

A quick search reveals that he is lawyer, so I think it's safe to say they've certainly thought of the legal side of things first.
Sorry somehow I thought that was obvious. Basically they cut the line very close to the letter, that way it doesn't break the line visually, which is what the other comments here on HN seem to criticize. It's a very simple and subtle thing but that's what makes the difference. My point was that sometimes the incremental steps between the default design and Apple's design are worst than if you just kept to the default design. You have to make a big step before perceiving benefits.
Sorry for the pigeonholding though, that was more of a general rant.

From a purely practical point of view, food is something it's very easy to hunger-strike over.

I'm willing to bet there have been a number of hunger strikes over a lack of kosher of halal foods. It wouldn't surprise me if there have been a few prisoners who have refused to eat animal products behind bars, even when the vegetarian products were not nutritionally sufficient.

I would be highly surprised if there were any sustained hunger strikes over lack of gourmet food.

I can't speak for everyone, but we get it (that you don't have experience to show). You are a student at the beginning of your career. Just be honest and enthusiastic. As the parent says, blathering about your experience selling coffee is pretty pointless. Hey, if you started a coffee cart, that could be interesting to tout.

If you don't have anything for your resume, all you can be is smart and engaging.

If you still have time in school, picking up an interesting project is very worthwhile. We could do side projects for credit. I don't really care if you wrote it in Javascript, if it is web enabled, or you did math with matlab; just give me something to talk to you about, and I can figure out if the several fairly well defined projects I have in mind could be tackled by you.

In other words, I don't look for a college grad with no work experience to be able to lead a team, design a product, and so on. I have a bunch of 'turn the crank' work, and a few challenges to throw out as well. I don't want to babysit you, but I also want you to ask questions and learn. Part of interning is giving back to the community, but part of it is I have work I need done. So, when I read your CV and/or talk to you, I just want to figure out if you can perform at that capacity.

If there is nothing left to talk about I resort to asking about your coursework. 'What courses are you taking'. 'Blah, and foodle, and a compiler course.' Okay, can you tell me what a recursive descent parser is? uhh...I've never heard of that" That is an actual conversation I had with somebody recently. I blame the school more than the person, but no offer was made. I wasn't going to have the candidate code a parser for me, either for the interview or the job, but I just wanted to have a conversation about anything where I could probe knowledge (less important) and ability (more important). Find an area that know something about, find the limit, inject a new piece of information, and see if they can assimilate it. If they can, that's an offer. If not, probably not.

To be fair, you'll probably get a lot of "code 'delete_node' for a binary tree type questions, so like it or not brush up on that crap.

Beyond that, for me at least, the CV isn't very important. If everything you list is about networking and databases, and I am looking for graphics programming, I scratch my head as to why you are applying and probably move to the next resume. A fit in interests is important, after all.
That's a cute notion. It's exceedingly rare for a law to disappear once it's on the books, while mission creep for current laws is all too pervasive.

The idea that people balking at fines will cause the fine amounts to drop is equally silly. Consider the times the (local / state / federal) government introduces a temporary tax ... or builds a road that will only at first be a toll road. All too often, these temporary things become permanent fixtures.

Seeing Aaron made to stand shoeless, handcuffed to a metal bar for over 23 minutes as armed men rifled through his belongings and occasionally asked him questions, I can't help but think this process is designed to be demeaning. This is no way to treat someone who's not been found guilty of committing any crime. And I'm sure this wasn't the worst of it.

If our criminal justice system had more concern for the dignity of the people that went through it, perhaps we'd see less tragedies like Aaron's.
GNOME is working with counsel already to respond to the trademark registrations; there are various processes in place for that. This campaign will help us continue that effort.

> I find the code is also pleasant to read

This, to me, is what he's missing. On the continuum between readable and expressive, Go falls decidedly on the readable side. If you're working on a project by yourself for 6 months, you might not like Go. But if you work on a team or return to code you wrote 6 months ago and haven't touched since, that's when you'll appreciate Go.

Evaluating languages based on simple solo projects will always favor the more expressive languages, but it's a short-sighted evaluation.

What do you expect me to do with that information? I'm being honest: I don't really get what that information would do for me if I found your code was doing something wrong, unless I thought it was worth my time to file a lawsuit.
