Eh, I didn't really exclude it - I noted it. I was trying to show that abuses of human rights aren't limited solely to political affiliation and assembly.

And yes, arguments of proportion cut both ways - look at the incarceration rates in the US, a huge proportion of which is for a victimless crime (possessing drugs). Vietnam also doesn't go pounding its military around the world - there are hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, all due to a war started to shore up domestic support in the US, for example.

Human rights extend to all humans, not just citizens of the state in question.

Edit: I guess my fundamental point is that the implication was that the HRC would do better if the US was a member, based on members' track records. But the US's track record isn't particularly good either (particularly in regard to non-US citizens)

I like this a lot! One big challenge in 3d today is making the jump from data to content: The jump we made for 2d in the late 80s when Photoshop changed the perception from pixels to images. But what is the equivalent to a histogram or a brightness/contrast filter in 3d?
You tend to get what you value, so if you believe that your legacy is more important than your close personal relationships, there's nothing anyone on Hacker News could say that will make that "wrong".

Just remember that everybody's legacy is fleeting. In a generation, Steve Jobs will probably be remembered like the Duesenberg brothers.
As someone experiencing grief for the first time one and a half weeks ago, I'm beginning to understand that bizarreness of grief - the ups and downs, that void..

A lot of people I've spoken to who have experienced grief tell me the same thing - that it will never be ok, but that you can become more ok with it - that you will have moments where you briefly forget and that you get more of these moments over time. I could never have understood this emotion before - I thought it was like in the movies where you're constantly crying, but it's a lot more complex and strange than that..

While the education in Germany is no doubt great. But the benefits of studying in Harvard or Stanford outweigh free education by miles, IMO. I got my MS degree in Finland, my wife got her MS and PhD from Finland. But we both want to send our kids to Harvard or Stanford.
There seems to be a bit of confusion over just what exactly I'm trying to get at here. I'll be the first to admit, the article might not do it justice. This is a comment I posted on it which hopefully helps clarify:

The point is there are certain realities inherent in distributed systems which can’t be papered over, and those realities often manifest themselves at all levels in the stack. Sure, we can try to build abstractions which hide those problems, but they often leak or simply eschew the problems in dangerously subtle ways.

Frontend and UX folks need to understand what they are building on. They need to understand the potential pitfalls of these abstractions and why they are as such. Sometimes there is a good business case for apologizing, sometimes there’s not. These things are never black and white, but if everyone can understand how systems work, we can build better ones and make better choices.
A different view is countries compete for knowledge-based workers that may go on and start startups. The key criterion in starting a startup isn't academic performance. In a startup heading towards a foreign environment and navigating it may be just as valuable.

The article may also be pointing to the beginning of a trend. That globally competitive universities exploit a major flaw in the US education system.

Reminds me of Ozymandias:

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

It's also worth mentioning that in smaller countries like Finland, the level of English is correspondingly higher, since everybody has been exposed to it since they were young children and, by the time you get to the university level, most textbooks are in English only. In larger EU countries like Germany and France this is not the case.

I don't actually know how they get their playlist, but I expect it's chosen in part by professional DJs, and in part by analyzing coffee sales.

That is, while I may enjoy hearing Red Right Hand that doesn't mean I bought a coffee in response.

However the dreary playlists of ClearChannel FM radio was the direct result of determining what music produced the most ad revenue. In the long run though I stopped listening to the radio; at home I listen to recorded music or else I listen to whatever a wifi spot is playing.

I would be very interested to know whether all the starbucks locations play the same songs, or whether they're individually tailored to each location. I speculate that it's something in between, that is the locations have a choice of one of several different playlists.

As Judith Shulevitz wrote in the New York Times, these refusals can shut down discussion in genuinely contentious areas, such as when Oxford canceled an abortion debate.

More often, they affect surprisingly minor matters, as when Hamsphire College disinvited an Afrobeat band because their lineup had too many white people in it.

He [Chait] cites an anonymous professor who says that "she and her fellow faculty members are terrified of facing accusations of triggering trauma."

Consider that tweet I linked to earlier, from critic and artist Zahira Kelly, in which she implies that the whole of scientific inquiry is somehow invalid because it has been conducted mostly by white males.

In another instance, two female professors of library science publically outed and shamed a male colleague they accused of being creepy at conferences, going so far as to openly celebrate the prospect of ruining his career.

By the way, you seem to be the sort of person that scares him.

Rebecca Reilly Cooper, a political philosopher at the University of Warwick, worries about the effectiveness of a politics in which "particular experiences can never legitimately speak for any one other than ourselves, and personal narrative and testimony are elevated to such a degree that there can be no objective standpoint from which to examine their veracity."

At least in Jolie's case, she's visited those places. Regardless of her celebrity (and entourage), she has more personal experience than I do. Exposure should at least count for something, even if you have to take resulting comments with a grain of salt due to other factors.

Immediate disclosure of drafts also makes it harder to close on the deal. You enable compromise by letting each government save face over its defeats. Releasing the draft versions after four years is already heavily tilted toward transparency.

Ask HN: How can I find funding for a summer math program I've been invited to?
Previous post: [0]

I've been invited to HCSSiM, a math summer program at Hampshire College. When I made my previous post, my parents were worrying about me travelling alone and staying in the US for such a long time. It appears they've found a friend-of-a-friend who lives nearby, and we've also found a direct flight to Boston with no stopovers, so I've gotten them to relent and everything seems okay now.

It's the financial aid that's the problem. I was expecting that I would only have to pay the airfare, but the program didn't have sufficient funds to waive the entire program fee this year. So I'm stuck having to pay quite a lot of money, in addition to the airfare. Needless to say, that makes it impossible for me to attend the program.

Does anyone have any ideas for what I could do?

I've been thinking about Indiegogo or something similar, but I'm not sure why anyone I don't know would bother to contribute anything. Information about organisations that provide funding in such circumstances would be great too.

I can't possibly miss this. I won't be allowed to go next year, because there are strict rules about not missing more than 15 days of school in 12th grade, so this is the only chance I have.

Please, HN, help me figure something out.

I guess legacy is the wrong word - as it implies a level of vanity that is uninteresting in my opinion. Rather, lets call it impact.

Sadly, things are not often so cut and dry.

What are you feelings about spying that is ostensibly international but nonetheless collects a potentially large, though unknowable, amount of intimate domestic communication? I ask because that is exactly the kind of thing that happens with the "Foreign Intelligence" programs Snowden leaked.

> [...] Section 702 of FISA Amendments Act of 2008, is labeled "Procedures For Targeting Certain Persons Outside The United States Other Than United States Persons." Going on name alone, that sounds like the opposite of a license for the NSA to collect private messages between Americans.

> Not necessarily.

> [...]

> Through those spying programs, it is possible that American-to-American email could hit an overseas server and be pulled into NSA databases even though those emails are not the target of NSA searches. The law does not prohibit this kind of "incidental" collection of Americans’ communications, as long as it was part of an otherwise valid collection of non-Americans’ information, said Stephen Vladeck, American University national security law professor.

> Government reports, leaks and a scathing 2011 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court opinion offer more proof that the NSA cannot separate out communications between Americans from the emails involving a foreigner. "NSA’s knowing acquisition of tens of thousands of wholly domestic communications through its Upstream collection is a cause of concern for the court," wrote FISC Judge John D. Bates in the declassified opinion.

the problem with port mangling is that your application starts running on random ports, so in addition to requiring discovery for IP addresses, you now also have to do discovery for ports, which pretty much requires custom code and infrastructure linked into your binaries (how do you convince nginx/redis/... to use your lookup service for ports?)

And ports are different between different replicas of your service, since they're chosen at random during scheduling.

It also makes ACLs and QoS harder to define for the network, since you don't have a clean network identity (e.g IP Address) for each application.

If you can prevent it at an acceptable cost, by all means prevent it. I'm skeptical that you'll hit you'll hit 100% regardless of what you do, and the cost can easily come too high for marginal reductions.

There's nothing to "fix" about not being around for every single moment.

"firsts" aren't really such a big deal.

1. There are many many "firsts".
2. Each one isn't really a "first", because so much of what we do is gradual, that's arbitary where you draw the line of accomplishment.
Our Webmin website, mailing lists, downloads, and a few other things are still running on SourceForge, for the time being. (I guess it counts as "big", with 3+ million downloads a year, it has always been a top-ten project in its category at SF.net.)

We moved revision control to github several years ago.

We just haven't had time lately to figure out what to do about the SF.net malware situation, but I can't imagine we'll stay there for too much longer, given the circumstances. We don't provide a Windows installer, so we're probably not at any immediate risk from SourceForge practices, but it doesn't seem like a smart place to be, given their behavior.
As a daily user of Tmux, I can't tell you how happy I am that they've bailed out of there. It was always really odd to me that they weren't either on a self-hosted CVS server somewhere or on GitHub - how all is well in the world.

Quality, comprehensive client SDK code and documentation is a major competitive advantage for any cloud computing platform.

It's good that Amazon seems at last to be taking SDK development seriously.

Amazon spent a very long time apparently not realising that AWS features only exist if they are supported in client SDKs. Instead it went wildly ahead building vast numbers of features for AWS, leaving behind a trail of incomplete, out of date, poorly implemented, poorly tested, and poorly documented client SDKs. The outcome being that when a new AWS feature was announced, chances were you couldn't use it because it didn't exist in any SDK for your programming language of choice - unbelievably frustrating to have to read feature announcements knowing there was no way to use them. Features aren't complete until all the client SDK's include code to drive it.

Amazon has fixed this as far as I can tell now has excellent SDKs for a wide range of languages and appears to keep them up to date for the most part with the features in AWS. The AWS SDK documentation is excellent and the SDK code appears complete, tested and reliable. Woo hoo. Thanks be to the gods and thanks to Amazon for comprehensively addressing this critical requirement.

So it is very gratifying to see that Amazon appears to be getting serious about covering all the AWS features with modern, up to date, documented and tested client SDK's.

In fact Amazon leaves Google far, far behind in the dust in the area of client SDK quality. Google is so far behind Amazon in programming SDKs for its cloud computing platform that its hard to see that they could catch up any time soon.

Google is still scratching its head wondering why it is so far behind in cloud computing and still without a clue that client SDK's matter. Google doesn't even have a Python 3 API for its cloud computing platform, let alone an official, complete, tested, documented and supported Go API. Google internally uses Python 2 and Java so that's what its cloud computing platform primarily supports. Google seems a little puzzled at the idea that you might not use the same programming languages that it does. As for documentation, the Google cloud computing platform documentation is worse than bad - it's often wrong, which translates into hours and sometimes days or even weeks of wasted effort (from personal experience).
