The pain only comes twice, really.

1. The couple of weeks before you make your move, where you sort what you need and what you don't need, so you can get rid of the latter.

2. A few weeks/months after you move, when you realize you only use 25% of what you kept and purge once again.

After that, it's really quite pleasant. The biggest change is spending more time out of the house in public spaces, since you no longer have the space to maintain separated individual little worlds in your home.

Net neutrality debate stirs in Australia
The legality of circumventing of geo-blocking is something of a grey area in Australia, although Communications Malcolm Turnbull has previously argued that using a VPN to access overseas content is not illegal under the Copyright Act.........The 2013 report of the parliamentary inquiry into IT pricing in Australia, which examined price discrimination, recommended that the Copyright Act be amended to explicitly support the right of consumers to employ anti-geo-blocking measures.

http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/573005/it-legal-use-...

According to the Australian government, employing anti-geo-blocking measures is implicitly legal.

I recommend staying off mass-market geo-blocking services and VPN's and use ones that rely some programming to achieve. Have not received the HBO email about cancelling my service due to proxying to US.

> Saying that it has "undefined behavior" means that the C language standard says nothing about how it behaves. If its behavior for the current compiler happens to satisfy the language requirements for offsetof, then it's a legitimate implementation. Code that implements the standard library is free to do whatever it likes, as long as the resulting behavior is correct.

Undefined is not the same as implementation-defined. Yes, a given implementation is free to do whatever it wants, but code that includes a null pointer dereference is not C code.
Why should we? Right now we need to do this kind of experiments to relieve massive pain from humans. Some tests(not all of them) can't be done without live animals.

Why should animal suffer for human? Well human have higher moral value because of higher ability of pain, emotions and cognition.

Don't get me wrong given the choice I would stop any animal cruelty if there would be alternative. As far as I know there isn't one. We can't just simply switch to some computer simulation for testing drugs instead of testing them on live animals unfortunately.

So stopping animal testing entirely doesn't seem to me to be right, but we should take a closer look at it. Be extremely careful that any harm done to animals is justified, that research being done on them really brings benefits and that we are doing best we can to relieve as much pain as it is possible.

I believe that much bigger issue eating meat, where reason why we cause huge amount of pain to animals comes mostly to , because it taste good.

I hope that 100 years from now we will still look at those who could benefit humanity by doing experiments on animals but did not do so for "moral" reasons with disgust.

Ask yourself if this is work you _want_ to do. What purpose does it serve - not just those you're teaching, but yourself? Can this be something you learn from too? Can it help open doors?

One thing to remember: people value work that they pay for. Something that is given freely has no value. And that's not something that can be changed.

If you do say no, say no as politely as possible. Make the no an opportunity, rather than a closing of a door.
I am trying to speculate what kind of people this new country can attract and give its citizenship? I tend to think (sorry for sounding biased) that it would be adventurers, hippies, suspicious characters, illegal migrants, fraudsters. The topic about legalisation of marijuana is quite popular on their forum so it may attract drug dealers and drug addicts.

Can this microstate be interesting for entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists, doctors, economists - those who can contribute a lot to build some prosper experimental state, say micro-Singapore?

How can this country attract them, maybe, introduce sort of point based system for giving residence / citizenship?

Dito. Unreadable.
In recent history, we have recognized the moral significance of groups that have less power. This has happened (and is currently happening) for black people (and people of color in general), children, women, LGBTQ people, animals that are "like us" (such as elephants and chimpanzees), animals that are our companions (like dogs and cats), and other groups that have been and are currently discriminated against.

The pattern that I see is that society is giving moral value to groups that have less power; groups that we have historically harmed without thought.

We must define "group" though, because obviously the most powerless things on this planet are plants and inanimate, nonliving objects. And it would be very short-sighted to define "group" as "everything that society currently gives moral value, i.e. all humans and an arbitrary subset of animals". I define "group" as persons that can feel emotion (not necessarily human emotion), have some sense of their environments, and have some sense of desire. In short, our "group" includes all sentient beings.

If we follow this line of thought, it feels obvious that all sentient beings will be recognized as valuable. And that the question is not "if", but "when".

I want to address your counter example:

> This would enable full legalization of humane practices like assisted death for the heavily disabled and terminally ill, and might open the doors again for experimenting on humans to move medicine forward.

As a society, we believe that a moral being does not have the right to take their own life. It doesn't say anything about who is or isn't a moral being, which is what I am addressing.

The counter example you were looking for was a society where all humans had no moral value. If humans have no moral value, then it does not matter if a human kills themselves, because it also doesn't matter if humans kill and harm each other.

Disclaimer: I have lived my entire life in the United States. When I say "society", I usually mean "the west".

Nah, that's what foreign investment is for. Some rich developers decide they think they can make money, so they pour in capital in the form of roads, buildings, sewers, all things that make much more of a difference in an emerging nation than a pile of money would.

These investors would have a direct stake in propping up the idea that this is sovereign land, as that's what will give them the best return on their investment. So the new ruler and the investors form a tight bloc.

The whole idea is to make the area attractive to commerce, once the businesses start coming in, and the people to run and operate the businesses, then there's a critical mass to begin the process of drawing up a constitution, figuring out how to set up legislative bodies, the machinery of governance.

Only after all this is done is international recognition needed.

The reason micronations never got off the ground is because nobody was ever able to court enough investment to build up to that critical mass that can support commerce. They were just way too small. City-size seems to be at just the right scale for this kind of experiment. It was just a matter of time until something like this happened.

Note this is also the exact same process whereby new townships are formed in the US, particularly in the 1800s where we were in our expansionary period. Only they don't have to set up the full machinery of state, they already have a state and federal government to build off of.

Eventually somebody is going to get this right in the developing world, and that will kick off a hoard of copycats. As regimes topple, people will start breaking these countries up into city-states. Think of how gentrification works in the US, if you think about it, it's just the process of cities growing. Sovereignty in the developing world is going to follow the money.

Thanks for your reply! I agree with most of the points you raise, but why do you think secure messaging services will become weaker and fewer as the surveillance state grows? Isn't the exact opposite to expect? I think the postcard analogy holds. In a few years time, encrypted messaging might be standard and everything else will be considered inadequate due to lack of security.

Some readers may have downvoted the comment in the belief that it was potentially detrimental to fostering meaningful discussion. Even a kind reading would classify it is as random noise. Nobody is going to read it and come away smarter or better informed. They may however come away inflamed.

Because the strength of VIM's design stems from Unix's do-one-thing-well principle, on naive reading The comment is a technical non-starter.

Finally, on HN, a VIM versus EMACS comment stands a reasonable chance of having been read by people who fought in the editor wars. That's one of the amazing things about this community. I've been downvoted for similar comments. My advice is to write better comments - complaints about downvotes aren't better - even though it's hard work.

Good luck.

I can confirm that this largely rings true for the UK. The Home Office is the body that deals with the certification of a specified procedure and provides the oversight that animal experimentation is done in the most humane manner that is practical for a given experiment.

I recently completed my doctorate in Pharmacology and I have a Home Office license to perform specific surgical procedures on animals. I have training in surgery, anaesthesia and euthanasia which is routinely assessed to maintain my Home Office license.

The details of the experimental protocol that the poster lists - deprive resource, validate behaviour and reward - are probably correct, sensationalised, but correct. I say that, because this reads like the sort of pain protocols I have been involved with in the past. The simple fact is that to explore whether a pain medication works, you must inflict pain, see whether your drug modifies pain behaviour and repeat to sufficient statistical power.

The details of the experimenter dispatching (killing, euthanising ...) the animals with chloroform, en masse, in a plastic bag is a violation of his license and his colleagues license, it is not a listed method on Schedule 1 Method of Euthanasia. It is one of the facets of animal experimentation regulation that I am proud of, the humane killing of animals ensures minimal distress. The euthanasia regulation for animal experimentation are stricter than those in the food industry and far more stricter than the exemptions that religious faiths have when preparing meat.

Non-vertebrates animals are covered by the ASPA 1986 guidelines in the UK for euthanasia and commonly you must present an anaesthetic regime for all uses of laboratory animals. Octopuses are explicitly named as they are one of the oldest laboratory animals in use — they were pivotal in understanding the role of ions and ion channel pumps in nervous transmission.

I welcome all kinds of socio-economic experiments. If people were free to try out various scenarios, we'd have a much better understanding of socio-economics.

> I'd much rather have no man's land, than have a land owned by a particular man's ideology (regardless of how much I may be inclined to agree with it).

I think that's an equally valid scenario to try out. If only my country did not have anti-sedition laws...

You are not going to get a vaccination against HIV for example without animal experimentation at the current state of science.

My parents work in the field and I have worked at a few labs where they do animal experimentation. It's not as bad as the press makes it out to be. People don't work around animals their entire lives without caring about them.

Cheap credit continues to drive property prices into the insane, especially in Vancouver. This is a failure of monetary policy more than anything. You can now get a variable rate mortgage for less than 2%, which is the rate of inflation, so it's essentialy free money. This of course massivly inflates the bids people put on houses. It also does not help that the media repeats the R/E frankenumbers the R/E associations claim are fact, but are wildy out of step with reality.

Yes. (You list misses "the tiny buttons are so close that people sometimes accidentally downvote") There are different people on HN and they use the downvote to differently from each other to communicate different information. I'm not sure why that concept is confusing?

It's sometimes confusing if a post is downvoted. Don't pay too much attention to a single downvote if you can't work out why it happened. If you get two or three downvotes you might want to look at your post to see if there's a problem with tone or content.

It sounds like a small space, but since it is a shared unit, saying he only has 8 sq M is misleading.

Instead, it is 3 people living in ~40 sq M.

I did the same thing when I first moveD to Boston. I got a bedroom in a four bedroom one bath townhouse, and the rent was quite reasonable split four ways. The shared kitchen and bath were not a problem, and I had plenty of space for one person with just a bed, desk, and dresser.

Now I pay more than that entire place for a 60 sq M place for my wife and me, that is only a 15 minute bike ride from work.

Usage is floating and amenable to change. At some point usage was different from what you claim it is now (do you have sources to back that up, btw?). The "small fact" people sure didn't let 'em stop that from using the word wrongly (at that point of time, at least, "small fact" was wrong according to your definition, also).

Edit: I checked the Merriam-Webster, and there at least the classic definition is listed as the primary meaning. The alleged "current use" is listed as secondary. I think we can agree your claim to be a factoid - we just can't agree on what that means! :)
Rules for a valid downvote: Someone clicked the button and it wasn't part of a blatant pattern (so abuse happens when someone tries to downvote every comment by someone else, or something like that).

Rules for a valid upvote: Someone clicked the button and it wasn't part of a blatant pattern.

How do you know why someone voted? You read their mind. This is just as easy for users to do as it is for the site.

Out of this horrifying ambiguity, you end up in situations where you might disagree with a comment and consider downvoting it because of that, but end up upvoting it because you step back from that feeling and decide that it is an interesting contribution to the discussion. Or you might not decide and thus not click either button.

If you think of the voting as a way to improve the ordering of the comments on the page and not as a way of doling out punishments and rewards, the lack of a precise specification makes more sense (because you hope a preponderance of users want the comments to appear in an interesting order, not to click and clack to suit their worldview).
