I will never, ever, ever get sick of watching that video.

I played EVE for a fair while, CEO'd a decent sized corp in a major alliance and took part in some of the biggest battles, and had to stop (aka: winning EVE) because "Life™".. but that video makes me want to get back into it SO badly. It's the most insane, addictive, complex, fun, rage-inducing, adrenaline-charging game I've ever played, but it will CONSUME you.
Wow, clearly those people are monsters. Threatening your children and family?

If you don't mind, I will not give a damn about any "boorish behavior" you might be guilty of. (Assuming it isn't something horrifically oppressive.) Rather, people should prefer to support you regarding the threats to your children. Hope that's reasonable?

There are plenty of cases where it's worthwhile for a malicious actor to antagonize someone, safe in the knowledge that the most they can lose is the legal costs. That is, if the victim is able to offer the significant effort and cash enough to seek legal recourse.

It's a medium read at 5,000 words. Took me about 10 minutes to read, and even a slow reader should get through it in about 15-20 minutes.

It's an excellent review of the history, mechanics, people, and themes associated with Eve Online. Worth the 20 minutes of your time if you have interest in online communities, and aren't already well versed in Eve. Might be and interesting read for people who are well versed in Eve anyways.

For two reasons. One, you can't afford a lawyer because the government took your money. And two, there's not a lot of point in spending $300k to get $12.5k back from the government. The DEA is using tax dollars - they can stretch out the proceedings until you run out of money.

I think you're too concerned about what strangers think and do around the internet. Most people will "bomb" your subjective side of the argument (the snarky, mean, remarks), and not the underlying idea. I've found out that conveying your arguments while avoiding personal, subjective, attacks is a much better way of getting your point across, since people are more receptive if they don't get the impression they need to be defensive.
Heroin (and prescribed opioids) are not psychiatric drugs, so while yes they are a big problem, they're not really relevant to whether psychiatric drugs are positive or negative.
Thanks for the response. With browser.html, I think I meant functionally, like isn't it supposed to be marketed as a simple, out-of-box, no configuration browser for those who just want no hassle simple web browsing? (Because otherwise I might be confusing it with something else, although I was sure I saw that Mozilla research was doing something like this.)

Because if it is, I obviously don't want that... I "just" want a free software html/css/js spec compliant browser (obviously without the drm, or an option without that part, because that's not free software), but the catch is that I sort of need it to be quite customisable...

By which I mean something akin to the current firefox, which allows addons, a great powerful addon api, unlike chrome, allows modifying the ui (via userChrome.css), modifying display of web pages themselves (via userContent.css), developer console, setting configuration options via a config file, view page source etc.

This seems off-topic and almost like a personal feature request for Servo or whatever, but my point is that I know my "setup" isn't exactly 'mainstream', hence why I basically require powerful customisation options. For example, I'm on firefox (37), but it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/L9P8XhC.png. And it's not exactly a whole heap of fragile customisations which are destined to break, it's "just" one userchrome file and one addon, so it's actually fairly reliable too.

I care about the ui in that I want the power to change it to what I like. If I can do that, I don't care what the default ui is. But I don't think browser.html's purpose is to be powerful like current firefox is it?

I guess normal isn't the right word. If anything, you're right, browser.html is normal, but not in the way I've grown accustomed to with the feature-filled firefox. If you're familiar with zsh and the fish shell, I mentally labelled browser.html as the special "fish shell" of browsers the first time I saw it, hence why I was quick to dismiss it as a future option. I should probably go and embed servo in emacs or something.. :)
I'm deeply confused by this comment. The main thesis of that first link you posted is that it's way too hard for psychiatrists to prescribe a drug that treats heroin addiction.
McKays Information Theory is a brilliant read so far, many thanks.

For embedded systems, PIC24 microcontrollers are still popular. Those are 16 bit microcontrollers typically used without operating system. The one I last wrote production software on will display incorrect dates in 2036, and there are no libraries available to mitigate that.

HackerNews search results:

Most people will have to look up "the opposite of misogyny" to find "misandry", and that's telling in itself. I do understand why this happens (misogyny has always been a culturally-recognized problem with real repercussions, the opposite not so much), but it still happens and it does unbalance the cultural perception of things.

1. Lenders do that with the willing cooperation of the borrower (to grant access to the building for the appraiser).

2. That process is labor-intensive and therefore expensive. Typically, the borrower is on the hook for the approximately $500-1000 cost of the appraisal. (If you don't see a line item charge, it's safe to assume that was buried in the discount rate.) On the high side of that range, appraisal costs would be > 10% of the tax collected if you appraised annually. Presumably, doing every property in the municipality at one time would make this process more efficient, but it's still a labor intensive and invasive process. The city's largest commercial landlord, Boston Properties, pays about 4% of the total tax revenue in Cambridge. This process could literally siphon more money out of the system than all Boston Properties buildings pay.

Allowing a mandated and periodic governmental inspection of my property to determine its value and funding that appraisal work present significant hurdles to universal application. In this case, I think that approximately wrong is better than precisely correct.

This reminded me of Ludum Dare right now, because the rankings for the most recent jam are just in: the top 100 is almost exclusively comprised of faux 8bit games. I don't mind the graphics so much, usually, because they are only retro to a point, and they do tend to cheat in places that enable the end results to be pretty. But if you look at the top 100 of sound/music rankings, almost all of those are absolutely jarring cacophonies.
Vaguely frustrating that this thread had been taken over by MRAs.

Suicide is complex. Suicide is common - it's a leading cause of death for some men.

We need to make it acceptable for men to seek help when they are suicidal.

This does not mean that we need men to talk and talk and talk about their intimate feelings. But we do need to make it so men can say "I'm not having a good day" and have someone else say "is it the kind of thing you want to talk to me about? Or is it the kind of thing you might want to talk to a doctor about?"
Woman fired after disabling work app that tracked her movements 24/7
The truth is that we need lots of well designed clinical trials to decide if psychedelics are helpful or not. It's really difficult to decide on efficacy of drugs. For example, we still aren't certain how much salt is bad for you, who knows if LSD and other drugs that react in mindblowingly complex ways in the brain can be good or bad.

We can only get somewhere with this by being as scientific as we can and refining our view of these drugs, be they prove to be good or bad. Prohibition of them definitely hasn't helped us decide. I'm willing to believe that they do help some people, some of the time.
Fed Up with Tax Laws? Create Your Own Country – Liberland

Actually, patriarchy does espouse such a tenet. The household is meant for the woman, it is her responsibility, while a man is outside, working for the family. Even if they were not beneath him, an ideal man in patriarchy simply wouldn't be bothered with such menial tasks. This can only naturally produce such a trope. And, OTOH, women are very strongly associated with care and nurture for children, reinforcing the prejudice which causes the unjust treatment of men in custody cases.
The most important part of this was, "When I use these problems for in-class work, I will typically pose the problem to the students without telling them it is unsolved, and then reveal the full truth after they have been working for fifteen minutes or so."

Any professor who handed out that assignment to an undergraduate class without fair warning, would likely face a full scale revolt, possible threats of violence, and almost certainly a significant portion of the class immediately dropping him.

Hi everyone, this is Katre from the communications team in the e-Residency program. Thank you so much for your interest! We are proud to launch the first government-backed digital identity in the world. Here in Estonia, we view the e-Residency program as someting of a "governmental startup," and appreciate your thoughts and feedback.

We will soon redirect the HTTP page to HTTPS (thanks for catching that!). For now you can simply visit https://apply.e-estonia.com. We are also working to update the country lists.

After being approved as an e-Resident you are welcome to apply for a bank account and payment providers. As noted on the site, we are working on easier ways to facilitate this.

Benefits for US and global entrepreneurs include access to EU and European markets, and truly hassle-free online company administration. We are working on expanding services for individuals as well, which currently include two-factor authentication, document signing, and encryption.

Thank you again -- we are truly excited to launch this programme in open beta and welcome further questions at e-resident@gov.ee!
Proof of concept and solution, sounds like.

Not sure if anyone knowingly installs MacKeeper but I accidentally accepted the download for MacKeeper when I was trying to install a Camera app. Big mistake and I tried to stop the installation.

MacKeeper is a nasty piece of malware. I couldn't quit the program, it would immediately start back and putting it in the trash did nothing. Ended up having to boot into safe mode and remove.

Well as soon as I got it off my computer in Safe mode and restarted I get a prohibited sign. Mac will not boot. Ended up having to reinstall OS X. Thankfully you are able to reinstall and keep your files. Now I stay up to date on my backups!

I don't see why apple doesn't ban them. Obviously they are shady.

>Those tax rates - 20% VAT and 33% social taxes

I would expect that VAT is only relevant for products sold to Estonian residents and income/social tax only relevant if you employ residents of Estonia.

Income tax is typically based on residency, I believe the US is the only developed country in the world that taxes non-residents on income.

Disclaimer: I have not looked at Estonian tax law

You fail to grasp one crucial distinction - patriarchy is not a term that labels all men. It is a system. The crimes of patriarchy are not automatically the fault of all men. It is perfectly possible to be a man and against patriarchy (you're speaking with one right now, actually).

As for "reprogramming society" - that's just spreading FUD. Society is not a piece of stone, it changes constantly. And far from it that any of these changes happen simply overnight.

And to simply assume that patriarchy is the direct cause of our society's abundance today, well... to say the least, you may need to provide some proof :D

I'm not sure how I feel about using "game-y" things to convince people to do stuff, especially when we're talking about serious stuff.

In Portugal a similar strategy was used to hinder tax evasion, where you got a chance (a ticket, so to speak) to win a car for each receipt you demanded on every purchase you made. (I'm oversimplifying a bit, I think)

It somehow feels like cheating/manipulating people, since we are terrible at estimating very small odds, making this kind of stuff an effective strategy with a very small cost for whoever provides the prize.

An aspect of this problem is that society not only teaches people how to behave, but defines expected behavior.

> As far as I'm concerned, Adria Richards did pretty much zero wrong.

That's silly. The article posted by Amanda Blum above lists at least a couple different ways that Adria Richards could have handled the situation more constructively. It seems pretty obvious to most of us that nearly everyone involved acted wrong to some degree. The men shouldn't have been making the joke, Adria Richards shouldn't have posted the photo on Twitter, Play Haven and Sendgrid should've had more fortitude, etc.

> No way in hell would I ever comment on whether Adria Richards was ever a less-than-pleasant snowflake, because that'd make me part of the problem.

That's also silly. You're not allowed to have an opinion on someone because of their gender/ethnicity? Seems like a pretty sexist thing to say that a woman needs to be treated with kid gloves because of her gender.
How we scaled our monitoring platform
The law doesn't care what you think.

Calling it rape when a male student does it, but not when a female teacher does it is definitely evidence of bias in reporting.
The important part of this was:

* Students are forced to depart from the “answer-getting” mentality of mathematics.

* Students are forced to redefine success in learning as making sense and increasing depth of understanding.

* Students are able to work in a context in which failure is completely normal.

If your class tends toward revolt, they have been way too far strayed from the first point, and that may be the professors fault.
Large Amsterdam Internet Exchange Disruption
On the topic of Impostor Syndrome
It's also dishonest to put such words in my mouth, when they were never said ;)

The disconnect, IMO, stems from the fact that women are fighting, and men are not. Or, perhaps better said, men are just beginning to frame an opposition. Women have stood up, organized, and brought attention to their problems (which were, without any doubt, seriously greater than men's), and achieved many victories. Standard democratic process. Now it's high time for men to do the same. However, if male action gets reduced to just attacking feminism and blaming feminism for everything, that sucks. It is one system, patriarchy, that causes all these problems. If some women and feminists are blind to the problems of men, is that really a surprise? Fully understanding someone else, someone whose shoes you haven't walked in, is incredibly hard. What we need is discussion, finding understanding, and fighting the common source of all these problems - patriarchy. And nobody can stand for men, but men themselves.

Isn't it more than that though? It isn't just about sample rate and resolution which for a single sound should be extremely accurate, it's about replicating the effect on the sound as the knobs are twisted and sliders moved around. That's a whole different set of problems and I imagine very very difficult to accurately replicate/synthesize.
