Meanwhile, the Thinkpad T42p from 2004 which I type this message on still works without a hitch. OK, it has been upgraded with an SSD (through a PATA-SATA converter) and the battery only lasts for 2 hours instead of 6 but that's basically it. The 1.8GHz Pentium M does just fine with Debian, the only 'slow' moments are when visiting some Javascript-infested site which insists on doing senseless things to a perfectly functional browser.

As an added advantage, software developed on this older system really flies on more modern hardware. Or it can fly, if not hindered by the OS gobbling up all extra cycles for its own nefarious purposes (the solution to that problem lies in using something like what powers this machine...)

Just get out of the habit of regularly upgrading perfectly functional hardware just because the manufacturer wants to increase their cash flow. Use your mind for what it is meant for: conscious thought. Use it to look through the group think, think different!

Limes inferior has not been translated to English (I was only able to find amateur translations of the first chapter [1]) and as such remains largely unknown outside Poland. Which is extremely unfortunate.

> Why is the author so angry?

Because you didn't really read the article (or possibly the article isn't well written but I understood it)

1. Your order of events is wrong. Craigslist sued. Won. Then used the proceeds from the lawsuit to donate. This isn't money earned normally.

2. The problem is the lawsuit itself. Craigslist is abusing a law that is meant to deal with hackers intruding on someone's private network. Visiting someone's publicly accessible website and access publicly accessible data is not intruding on someone else's network. Chances are other 3rd parties will now start to abuse this law. i.e. This somewhat reminds me of companies suing people for summarizing a news article into a blog post and linking back to the name original article. In this case, I believe the 3rd parties were creating embedded Google Maps based on the addresses found on Craigslist listing (because Craigslist pre-lawsuit refused to do so) and linking back to the original listing.

TDLR Craigslist successfully stopped a company from fair use of their public content by accusing them of hacking into their network. Craigslist then donates some of the proceeds of lawsuit's 'damages' to the EFF.

I don't exactly understand your argument, to be honest. Surely the majority of people who care about that kind of rules are parents anyway?

If parents would agree that kids shouldn't have iPads, then no legislation would be necessary?

So ultimately it is parents opinion vs parents opinion...

He is completely entitled to his opinion, of course. I just don't see how merely having kids gives you any insights on the impact of iPads on kids, unless you give them an iPad.

If i was king of the world, i would probably indeed be okay with banning smoking inside of public buildings (including bars, whatever), but i think it's really rather silly to ban smoking in open-air areas, like the pavement in front of a bar. I mean, who is complaining about the cars driving past, which in my personal and very humble opinion are much more bothersome than cigarette smoke.

There is an argument to be made that if and only if we ban cars in inner cities (which would be wonderful -- they're smelly, very dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists alike, and detrimental to the environment to boot), then i would be okay with also banning smoking outside. If you think it stinks, stand elsewhere, and i don't have data on this, but i imagine that the influence of cigarette smoke on climate change is vanishingly small compared to the thousands of kilograms of CO2 put out by cars on a continual basis.

But yeah, i happen to find drivers a lot more offensive than smokers.
Err, you saw the bit where it's not Craigslist's money that's being donated, but the settlement that they got from 3Taps right?

And the bit where a very dubious interpretation of the CFAA which is opposed by the EFF was used as the legal basis to sue 3Taps...
Old codes are full of gems. ASCII has field record separator for instance. Free CSV.
And they remove some images, so Wikipedia articles about math (with symbols as images) don't make sense. Diagrams and illustrations are often silently gone.

I keep reporting "some text/images missing", but overall I lost faith that I can read articles on Instapaper without missing anything.
It would be useful if you cite your sources. People use different definitions for the various categories.

Actually I think I'll include a "guess what this control sequence does" slide before discussing them.
> Here's my simple plea: stop it. Stop mentioning vertical tabs in tutorials and language references.

I'm failing to see why this is an issue? The examples tutorials/references he gave only mention '\v' in tables of possible escapes. What is the downside to mentioning it, people spending 5 minutes googling for what a vertical tab is?

Unless a language removes support for escaped string literals entirely it seems odd to remove support for a particular standard, if mostly unused, escape sequence.

In one sense you can't, but in another you can. It is like asking how can I go from being an average 100m runner to being as fast as Usain Bolt. You basically can't, however, you can get a lot better and be faster than 99% of people. Rather than worrying about being a great developer worry about being the best you can. If it turns out that this is still not great then oh well, but at least you can't blame yourself for not trying.
My point exactly.

For those unaware, I recommend reading up on "inattentional blindness". Attention is a very valuable resource.

Thanks for posting this. The TL;DR version of this article is:

> Instead, I kept my mouth shut to help my career. This makes me "grown as a person" and "politically and socially clueful".

No, it makes you a jerk.

> btw, running craigslist is a "public service" and makes me a "philanthropist".

So you've given away the $400 million you made off craigslist, then? No? Then you're a delusional jerk.
Oops, it's public now.

Anyone can make an effort for eight months and then go on cigarette breaks every 15 minutes thereafter.
There is also a point where kids are exhausted from playing or from too much human interaction. Many HN users are probably introverts, they might understand.

When my kid watches certain TV shows or uses certain apps, he can be extremely focused and extremely happy. I myself also have some fond memories of my favorite TV shows as a kid. There are some TV shows that explain things very well.

Of course we do not let him use these things indefinitely, and he doesn't even watch normal TV where you could do mindless "zapping" between channels.

Maybe if studies find children who are allowed to do worth computers whatever they want for an unlimited time, they also find parents who generally don't care at all. So that might be the root issue, and excessive iPad use might just be a symptom.
I knew about the AAP guidelines. But we decided to put on Daniel Tiger during mealtimes for my daughter from ten months old. It is a good distraction while we get some food into her.

Furthermore, children under two interact primarily with their parents. They do not really play with other kids at all, even if you take them to a playground. So if AAP says "young children learn best by interacting with people", they are talking about parents for under-twos.

At some points in the day, my wife and my daughter are just sick of looking at each other. So a little TV provides a welcome break. Yes, we try to limit it. But giving a blanket statement like "no TV under two" and making you feel bad when you cave in does not seem to help the situation.

Also, what happens when 4-year-old Jimmy is happily watching his two hours allowed of TV, and 14-month-old Bobby wants to watch too? Do you banish Bobby from the living room because it might hurt his brain?

One suspects the AAP recommendations are made knowing they will not be heeded. Like the eight glasses of water a day thing, it's one of those things adults tell each other "oh, you know they say..." If AAP were living on this planet with the rest of us, they would give more nuanced recommendations, just as USDA has had to do over the years with rec's on food.

Declaring something inappropriate is just a way of saying you don't like it.
What about the following flavor of Basic Income:

In order to reduce the amount of money needed to support the BI scheme, you are given a card to buy some standardized products: jeans, bread, soup, chairs, tables, beds, bikes, ubuntu and the like. The main point is that those products are cheaper to produce and distribute. You lose some of the power of money but since society is paying the bill I think you should accept the deal.

Edited: grammar and shorter.
> So ultimately it is parents opinion vs parents opinion...

I'd argue that, while parents controlling their young kids' exposure to electronics are doing it deliberately, some (most?) of the parents giving their young kids access to electronics simply can't be bothered to have an opinion.
> Kids should develop playing with parents, siblings, friends and on their own.

I don't see how these statement is opposed to kids using iPads.
If you are hiring a firm to design your office, you are no longer a startup.
> But no - that doesn't mean the state should give everyone free money.

Why not?
Oh, would that we had used that to begin with instead of the ghastly quote convention!
I believe you are making yourself upset by arguing from the point of the ideal.

Its not a matter of meritocracy vs basic income. Its the current welfare state vs basic income.

People like you and I are already paying loads of money to the masses in the form of (from an American perspective) Food Stamps, continued Federal make-work programs (like the USPS/military), Social Security, Disability Insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, etc.

Just as a freebie example, The US spends ~$3000 per capita on its military. Cut that in half and give everyone $1500/year no strings attached. That alone would relieve a lot of stress for a large percent of Americans.

> because none of the countries trying it were or are advanced capitalistic economies before the revolution

revolution was the least common way to turn communist. Far more common was "forced by nearby communist country"

Also for example Czechoslovakia was advanced capitalist country. It's often overlooked - it was very industrialized country, with long capitalistic traditions, and democracy before WW2. It also went through war relatively unscratched. In 1950 it had GDP per capita roughly equal to Italy and Ireland, 50% higher than Spain.

> Imagine a transition into communism in a less-scarcity scenario

From the POV of medieval people We're already in a less-scarcity scenario. We just don't like to share, as a species. I highly doubt technology will change that.
But wait, you haven't added any new information. You've just re-stated the information in the article.

So yes, they sued before donating. And yes, they used the proceeds. But that makes no difference to the fact that both were good things.

Even reading your comment (or its sibling that was posted during the same minute) gives enough information to come to that conclusion.

Craigslist said "don't scrape our data". This other company scraped their data and used it to build their business, so Craigslist sued. That's exactly the world I'd like to live in.
There is no arguing that basic income, welfare, disability benefit etc. are socialist. That is not deriding them, it is an accurate description. It's strange that this is a bad term in the US, not so here in the EU.
Ah, finally everybody can work on their personal projects instead of an annoying job.

But won't someone have to pay all those annoying taxes? And when we go to spend other people's money, won't someone have to be there earning that money?

Also, because my hands stay on the regular keys I don't have to look at my keyboard when switching betweeen typing commands and going through the history. It just feels more natural.

You might want to web-search for "somatoform".

These are pretty common and can cause considerable distress to people. Common forms include health-anxiety ("I'm having a heart attack"; "I have cancer"). Less common forms include blindness or paralysis.

A complicating factor is that people reject the treatment because they feel they are being ignored or dismissed as "making it up" or "faking it".

It can be tricky for clinicians to work with someone with a somatic symptom disorder. How do you respond to someone who claims to be blind, but who does stuff that requires sight?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_symptom_disorder

> A somatic symptom disorder, formerly known as a somatoform disorder,[1][2][3] is a mental disorder characterized by physical symptoms that suggest physical illness or injury – symptoms that cannot be explained fully by a general medical condition or by the direct effect of a substance, and are not attributable to another mental disorder (e.g., panic disorder).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_disorder

> A conversion disorder causes patients to suffer from neurological symptoms, such as numbness, blindness, paralysis, or fits without a definable organic cause. It is thought that symptoms arise in response to stressful situations affecting a patient's mental health. Conversion disorder is considered a psychiatric disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fifth edition (DSM-5).[1]
Bureau agents acknowledge that it is unlikely that even modern bomb squads and technology could make much headway disarming Big John's improvised explosive without setting it off.

Any (3D?) imaging technology that would allow seeing inside the upper box with enough resolution to determine the wiring?

Also:

The inside surfaces of the boxes were lined with rubber sheeting, which were in turn lined with conductive foil. If something metal such as a drill bit or saw blade penetrated the outer metal casing and the rubber sheeting, it would close a circuit between the metal housing and the foil.

How about cutting tools made of non-conductive materials?
You checked all my boxes, except the part where what you might build has no business value - outside of your head of course

That's my current situation right now, I've spent years building crap that has would never be sustainable.

> But wait, you haven't added any new information. You've just re-stated the information in the article.

Yes because from the little that you wrote, it didn't sound like you understood any of it. Maybe you should elaborate more from the start?

> But that makes no difference to the fact that both were good things.

You're wrong.

1. Craigslist killed two companies in the process. The worse part is that if Craigslist only listened to its users and improved their website, none of this would have even happened.

2. Now any company can stop anyone from fair use of their content. All they have to do is accuse them of Craigslists' definition of hacking under the CFAA. e.g. news sites can now potentially threaten companies like Google with the CFAA for listing their articles on Google News

3. Maybe if the scraping led to an outright copy of Craigslist's listing content I can understand. However, they were transforming that content into something more (something that Craigslist refused to do on their own site for years), kind of what Google does with search results. Moreover they were linking back to the original post (attribution).

4. Just because there's a term or clause in a TOS, it doesn't mean that it's legal.

5. The main result from this is to help maintain the entrenchment of the status quo which hurts overall innovation.

Really we should start here: are you familiar with Fair Use?

How? Competition would increase and prices would come down. We are currently fighting to avoid deflation anyways and all indicators point towards this continuing. If anything UBI will stop people hoarding cash as is happening now and re-introduce some cash-flow into the macro economy. A little inflation is healthy.
I think the article he links to can basically be summarised as "Escaping considered harmful, here's a better way to solve the same problem". I don't see any evidence that he doesn't understand escaping, and his claim that eliminating it would be a net win seems plausible (at least) to me.
Actual Experience PLC, Provider of Digital Quality analytics services | Android Developer | Bath, UK | ONSITE (with home-working) | FULLTIME

https://www.actual-experience.com/

We offer digital quality analysis services for businesses and consumers. Our Digital Supply Chain Director service enables continuous, automatic, and real-time Voice of the Customer analysis, identifying any sources of service misbehaviour and directing attention where improvement in experience for staff and customers will be most meaningful. Our service is being incorporated into digital product architectures and processes for some of the world’s largest, most sophisticated digital enterprises.

To give a concrete example: 95% of a web-page may load in a fraction of a second, but the quality of the user-experience is adversely affected by the last image (or javascript, or whatever) taking 3 seconds to arrive from the CDN. Our software captures this kind of measurement and helps identify the cause. It's not limited to web-pages; we have measurement profiles for email, database, VoIP, cloud services etc. We can also help identify where the service is too good, where the additional speed is essentially wasted and, perhaps, the investment would be better made in other areas of an infrastructure.

You can see the technology in action with our consumer version, BbFix. (https://www.bbfix.org/) This allows you to see how good your broadband really is. And where any problems lie from home router to ISP to the Skype or iPlayer endpoints.

We're looking for an Android developer to create apps, in the short-term, to:

- Report the results of the analysis in a simple, engaging way that CxOs can understand

- Measure the Digital Quality to and from from mobile devices and services in a similar way to our current wired Digital Users. With our Tier-1 clients you could have your app deployed to hundreds of thousands of devices.

Beyond that we have plans for tablets and a mobile version of BbFix.

The job-spec is here: https://www.actual-experience.com/site/assets/files/1036/ae_...

We have a mixed technology base: Erlang, Python and the usual Web-stack. The iOS app is Swift-based. Our APIs are JSON and we use Git. You might not know all of them but you'll be interested in finding out more, given the chance. Finally, the working environment is very relaxed with most people flexibly working from home a couple of days a week. Get in touch via the website with a CV or directly: robin@actual-experience.com with any questions.
I certainly agree that it also depends on the children. However, let's not forget that the original post is about 0-to-2-year-olds. I've a 4 year old and we control his exposure to TV and tablets. I'm against banning it for many reasons but controlling the amount of exposure and the content seems important.

The pirate party in Germany had this as one of their ideas (Grundeinkommen), not sure if they still do.
I like this. My basic economic instincts scream "nonsense" but I like testing it even if the test results are likely useless because the city is still surrounded by "normal" ones. Reminds me a bit of the socialist calculation debate.

There's enough money wasted on stuff I consider more useless and at least this experiment has the potential to generate surprises.
I'm all for experimenting with economic systems, worst case it generates some new ideas.
