What objective criteria do you propose to evaluate build quality?
Just out of curiosity, did you call Comcast to ask them about the problem? I would think you'd want to see if they could repair something to get the speed up to 150 Mbps.
I'm not trying to impart the implication you assert, I'm not suggesting that the combination of the two events is unlikely. A one-two punch isn't "two statistically unlikely events", it's the same opponent hitting you twice.

Not all catastrophic earthquakes are followed by catastrophic tsunamis in the same area. Not all catastrophic tsunamis are preceded by catastrophic earthquakes in the same area.
Mooching? They're not actually receiving much at all - 90% of the bailout money they have received has gone straight back to their creditors - Deutsche Bank, ECB and IMF. Only a tiny fraction of the bailout actually enters the Greek economy.

It's like throwing a money boomerang at someone, and each time it comes back claiming that they owe you another 50 billion

Gotcha, more of a resurfacing then. I'll change it to this, which I sort of left out:

Lots of pure speculation that Victoria was fired because Jesse Jackson's AMA the previous day went poorly, or maybe because the reddit administration wanted to ruin IAmA somehow. No hard facts.

This is beautiful and moving to me in a way that is hard to express easily. Part of it is probably the sheer tweeness (not using that term disparagingly) of writing a love letter to a tree. I'm sure the samples in the article were pretty much the top of the barrel -- and I pray for the poor oaks which inevitably received a bunch of obscenities [^1]. But still, people are taking time out of their day to email the trees in their city.

I'm sitting here thinking about how this could be generalized into a mechanism of engaging with the world around us, which is possibly defeating the point; this is great more for the emergent gameplay of it (to steal a metaphor) than anything, and I think some weird startup that let you tweet your river would kind of rob the whole exercise of its innocence.

The Internet (or maybe technology in general, as if the two have a meaningful difference at this point) is so overwhelmingly used as a vehicle to accelerate maturity, to make us more jaded and cynical and disconnected. There's something great about this doing the opposite -- a glorified SMTP server letting us be more childlike, more honest and engaged in the world around us.

[^1]: There's, like, a 30% chance that there now exists someone in this world who has sent a dick pic to a tree.
and that's somehow EU and Germany's fault? That they are not handing over truckload of cash to a country which just wants more and more without ever paying any of it back? That they have 50% unemployment rate, and an economy incapable of producing anything worth of value that would pull them out of debt?

When South Korea defaulted, the entire country came together to pay off the debt. People even brought their herilooms and personal jewlery to melt to gold bars to help the country pay back the money to IMF. Businesses and large conglomerates were not bailed out but allowed to fail so that they pick up their shit. Now we get smartphones, tv, components, kpop, cars, ships, all sorts of wonderful stuff. And greece? What the hell have they produced in the past 100 years? South Korea has only been around half that.

Why should Germany put up with this kind of attitude? Where does this sense of entitlement come from in Greece? Do they seriously believe that the rest of Europe owes them something? If they are this arrogant then let them fail and see just how quickly Greece will downspiral into a failed state.
I don't know about other implementations, but I remember the original design of l4hurd (based on L4Ka), was even more complex. I'd same this applies to all "pure" multiserver designs.
> as I am silenced for the crime of critical thinking

I love this sort of "If I lose, I called it, so I'm actually right!" hedging.

The implication is, of course, that rather than you perhaps being wrong, that your unpopular opinion is actually 'critical thinking' and your opponents are all incapable of it.
Congrats on some insight
into Rudin! He got less
terse over time. His
Real and Complex Analysis
is terrific -- hardly terse at all.

The only question
I had was, why regular Borel
measures? Sure, if I went back
and studied again where he used
the hypotheses I'd see it.

But in Rudin's favor, e.g.,
for his Principles,
it's
all there, and crystal clear,
very precise, and perfectly correct.
Yes, have to draw own figures,
at least between ears, maybe
on paper.

Students might be told that
one of the purposes of the
early material in Rudin's
Principles is to build a
really solid foundation for
discussing continuity and
uniform continuity. So, for
that, he wants compactness.
He uses that work to show that,
with continuity on a compact
set and, thus, uniform
continuity, the
Riemann (Riemann-Stieltjes)
integral exists.
Then near the end of the book
he shows that the uniform
limit of continuous functions
is continuous.

But, also he goes ahead and
shows that a function has
a Riemann integral if and only
if it is continuous everywhere
except on a set of Lebesgue
measure 0, without really
saying much about Lebesgue
measure.

I don't have much from Apostol.
I'm sure he could write a
book that competes with
Rudin's Principles and might
be easier for ugrads to read.

It happens that two weeks or
so I got out Rudin's Principles,
the third edition, and looked up
something and was struck at
just how beautifully, elegantly,
sparsely done the work actually is.

On elegance, Neveu is my favorite.
You've just hit the nail right on the head.
If they forgive some of their debt and they don't radically restructure their economy they will need to be bailed out over and over again. We have the same thing with employment benefits on a micro-scale here in Australia, people become so used to free money they don't know any better because they have never seen any other system. Its hard to blame them because they don't know any different so they think it's normal.
As a European I find German foreign policy quite insulting. This needs to change in one way or the other.
It's really weird to see a suggestion that the solution to Muslim persecution in the US is for them to take up arms and be seen to be doing so. I can't see how that is going to help their current social situation.
I worked for a major newspaper company (before they sold their assets off and focused on TV/Radio). Every change that was made on our CMS was logged...and stored on the backend. She might not be able to see the changes, but...the changes are probably still there. Editors didn't always focus on the technology side of the house -- they just wanted to make sure that the newspaper was presented in the best image available.
Here's the specific comment from Steve Huffman's AMA that raganwald is referring to: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3cxedn/i_am_steve_huf...

> I think our approach to subreddits like that will be different. The content there is reprehensible, as I'm sure any reasonable person would agree, but if it were appropriately quarantined, it would not have a negative impact on other specific individuals in the same way FPH does.
I want to hear more discussion on the topic. I'm open to other arguments.
I want to be very clear: I don't want to ever ban content. Sometimes, however, I feel we have no choice because we want to protect reddit itself.

This is very unfair and uninformed statement to make about GG.

Most important thing to know about GG is that there are many images of GG circulating around. For some people GG is internet hate campaign. For others its political movement. For others its protest of trends on game scene. For others its outrage about reporting on poor releases or cliques in gaming media. Finally there are people who are just exploiting whole thing for internet fame they can capitalise from down the lane.

So quite obviously everybody finds the thing he/she seeks in GG, and so we have number of people attacking other people in different ways under different pretenses, like "IGN sold out!" or "GooberGaters chased girl out of her house!" naturally followed by "they didn't, they display game ads because they are gaming site" or "girl didn't run anywere, reporting her escape off her house's sofa all the time" retorts.

The greatest tragedy here is that there's whole lot of people with binary perception amounting to "with us or against us" who can't tolerate the tought that there may be valid points raised by other side, and thus dismissing (or more often flaming) either Adrian Chmielarz or Anita Sarkesian voices simply because they are on wrong side.
I think your argument is predicated on the notion that banks lending money is somehow a benevolent, charitable act. It isn't. In a fractional reserve banking system, making loans is precisely how banks make their money.

Unless of course they get greedy and start making ill-advised, unsecured bad loans. Then their greed is going to come back and bite them in the ass when the debtor can't pay.

Lets not forget the Goldman Sachs helped Greece to cook the books to get into the Eurozone in the first place.
They have restructured substantially. Enough so that they were on track for a substantial primary surplus. There's much more to do, but the primary problem for the last year has been managing the crushing debt load, not the Greek government.

Reinvention is nothing new for Motorola. For the past two summers, I've interned with Motorola Solutions at there facility in Plantation, Florida. My grandfather worked as a security guard there 35+ years ago and now I am there as a software dev. intern. It was strange, on my first day, a senior engineer told us interns that Motorola was in the strange transition from a "hardware company to a software company." There was a lot of talk and general anxiety in the air about where the company was headed. As this post mentioned, the fire and ideas seemed to be nonexistent. My mentor would tell me that it was our job to primarily focus on the radios and release upgrades over long time periods. Nothing was being built or researched, only maintained and slightly tweaked. There was neither passion nor excitement at the company. Towards the end of the internship, the company sold part of the business to Zebra technologies and with it some of the employees. Many physicists and electrical engineers were let go. The factory and learning center was shutdown and the company decided to sell the facility. We currently rent back a small portion.

Currently on the premises, there is a small Motorola Mobility office, whilst owned by Lenovo, still has a very Google feel when you look through their glass windows. There have been talks of various healthcare companies and even Magic Leap moving into the other vacant area we used to inhabit.

I still have hope in this company. I'm currently into the second internship and the gears are starting to move rapidly. I'm very happy to be working on some projects that I definitely see putting Motorola Solutions ahead of the game in public safety systems. And when I doubt if coming back from such a hit is possible, all I have to do is pull open my cubicle drawer and look at the pile of Motorola M6800's.
> “Hate is an unpleasant side-effect of hosting unfettered free speech in exactly the same way that cancer is an unpleasant side-effect of selling cigarettes.”

What did he mean by that? They're both side effects...is he saying that the downsides of free speech outweight the benefits, as many would agree is the case with cigarettes?
Reddit has always had a untenable position on the questionable elements of their community.

FatPeopleHate is banned but yet Coontown is allowed.

Sure technically there is a difference i.e. one specifically targets individuals but from the general public's perspective there isn't. Both subreddits are there purely to attract and spread hate. And that hate as the OP mentions spreads through to other subreddits and undermines the integrity of the site.
Didn't Greece get a write-off once already? Why hasn't he mentioned that? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2011-10-27/papandreou...

> But while the inhabitants may be different people, the landlord is the same person, and keeping the lights on in /r/javascript is also keeping the lights on in the Chimpire.

This same logic could be extended to the internet as a whole.
Worth pointing out that the DNS provider for braythwayt.com has similar policies to reddit's on racist speech, likely for similar reasons (though maybe it is required of all registrars?).

I do think it would be good for them to turn off monetization on the worst subreddits. But you could always move the goalposts and say they still get a benefit by serving those people and potentially having them visit the other, monetized, subreddits. Or complain they are serving racist reddits for free but running ads on nonracist ones. Etc.
I wonder if the math is a bit fuzzy and skewed toward the current ad model though? The ad industry is amock IMO and unfortunately publishers are paying the price. Maybe Pando has enough loyal subscribers who will pay their subscription fee, but to me it looks like a pipe dream. Ads could still work I think, but only if adverts come to grips with why ad blockers are on the rise in the first place. I really believe many ad block users would allow ads if the tracking in-our-face approach stopped - not to mention malware. Probably won't happen.
Why does the US generate more fast-growing tech startups than Europe?
Well, they just evaluated the BOM. That tells us nothing about the sound quality, just the margin.

I'd say the audiophile market is a more resilient to style than the general population, but not completely. Flat response headphones, like the AKG-701's are reviewed as not being "fun". The thing is, audio mixing plays a much larger part in your experience than headphones. After owning the 701's, I would much rather choose different cheaper 'colored' headphones for different genres, than use a headphone that is able to reproduce sounds more accurately. YMMV.
Does anyone know if this includes the spam? This dataset is obviously very interesting in its own right without spam, but far more useful for me would be all of it, including the spam.

EDIT: regardless, does anyone know if similar datasets with spam?
It's not just insulting. It's dangerous. If Germany continues this line, not only will the Euro disintegrate, but we can "look forward" to a much higher likelihood the UK will decide to outright leave the EU as well. I know more than one hardline pro-EU people here in the UK that have softened their EU support substantially after seeing the treatment Greece has gotten.
"End up"? It has already happened. (From Wikipedia, but well sourced):

Initially, European banks had the largest holdings of Greek debt. However, this has shifted as the "troika" (i.e., European Central Bank or ECB, International Monetary Fund or IMF, and a European government-sponsored fund) have purchased Greek bonds. (...) Excluding Greek banks, European banks had €45.8bn exposure to Greece in June 2011, with €9.4bn held by French and €7.9bn by German banks. However, by early 2015 their holdings were minimal, roughly €2.4B.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_government-debt_crisis#C...
Initially. The first Opium War was mostly the result of some very rich, but highly leveraged, and politically connected British merchants (including the East India Company, which before the institution of the Raj, was nearly a state unto itself in south-east asia) who had a massive quantity of illegal opium seized and destroyed by the Qing governor, who then proceeded to close the markets and quarantine the merchants in their factories. Eventually, amidst high tensions the next year, there was an incident between Britsh, merchant and Qing ships off Canton, which flared things up into a shooting war. The Brits rushed in troops and ships from India, and owing to the Qing empire's traditional focus on suppressing more recently conquered regions of Inner Asia and opposing Russian expansionism, the British forces met very little resistance. The blockaded the coast, swept the very much over-matched Qing navy aside (the Qing navy was more of an anti-piracy force, really), and launched an attack towards the Imperial capital.

There was a long tradition in imperial China of buying off invading barbarians to get them to go home and stop causing havoc. To some extent, this was formalized in the imperial tribute system, which was used relatively successfully to placate the Khitan, Mongol, Turkic and Manchu neighboring states in various periods. It is possible to view the Treaty of Nanjing in this tradition, at least from the Qing perspective; although from the Western side it's clearly a punitive concession of defeat. This then opened up a floodgate of other commercial nations wanting the same trade concessions (access to additional trade ports, abolition of tariffs) to keep up.

Later, with the advent of steam power, the different Western nations desired naval bases and coaling stations, to protect trade and project power. And eventually, Western nations began building infrastructure in China, at the cost of further, sometimes extensive territorial concessions. In some sense, this was accelerated by the global land-grab and prestige race between the great powers during the Victorian Age, which also coincided with the rapid modernization of Meiji Japan, which sought to wring the same kinds of concessions from the Qing Empire as the western nations.
So if banks don't give Greece money to prevent it from turning into Mogadishu, then who do they expect to keep the country afloat? I mean they haven't been able to do that for 90 years. They need to keep taking out loans, and now suddenly the hand that was feeding them are the bad guys?

What kind of logic is that?

It's not a popular topic here on HN, but I strongly recommend Aral Balkan's talk about the actual business of Google, Facebook, and far too much of silicon valley.
If I understand correctly, your basic argument is something along the lines of, "Eating is obviously extremely beneficial. Therefore eating must be selected for. Therefore your statement is false."

My rebuttal would be that you are looking at the wrong side of the equation. Eating is not selected for; not eating is selected against. So no, your argument does not counter my original claim. Such reworkings of the argument may seem petty, but they are centered around a deeper understanding of what exactly selection is and how it works.
> “Hate is an unpleasant side-effect of hosting unfettered free speech in exactly the same way that cancer is an unpleasant side-effect of selling cigarettes.”

I really don't agree with this / maybe I am missing something here. Free speech on the internet is extremely important.
The internet is a decentralized network. His argument is focused on a centralized subset, namely the reddit servers, and its owner(s).
You're right. Portugal looks actually a bit worse than Greece at roughly the same size of the economy: http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock

Maybe it was too close geographically to the big players and that's how it avoided being made the first example :-)

BTW, besides people in developed countries living longer we also have the problem of fewer children in each new generation. Not even immigration can balance the low birth rate in Italy, for example.

Right now we have only one third of the population working and supporting the other two thirds and the percentage of active people keeps on shrinking. When will it become unsustainable? What will the Italian government do then?

> The global economic situation at the moment is very interesting.

Way too interesting for my taste. And the sea level rise will make it even more so. I'd rather read about stuff like this in dystopian novels instead of living it...
It's not long, but why leave a week where you can create new accounts for a dying service?
This makes me think of the quote (maybe it was Churchill), "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the other forms that have been tried". Anyone is free to set up a site like Reddit, with any level of censorship they want. Heck, reddit is open-source, so you don't even have to build it from scratch.
I assume he is referring to unfettered free speech. In most countries there is no such thing as true free speech. There are defamation, anti-racism and anti hate laws that protect individuals and minorities. Getting rid of those so you can have true free speech arguably does nothing other than invite and support hatred which I assume is the point he is making.
This is not a compelling argument, it applies to "using the internet" in general. Your 50$/mo helps Comcast become a neutral pipe-forum that also chooses to transport (and profit from) hate speech.

(On the other hand, I am so dense as to not yet understand Reddit. HN has much better s-n-r.)
I'm very sympathetic to what you're saying, but how does this response to racism accommodate when we move online forums to decentralized platforms -- when there is no landlord, and you either stick it out with you fellow tenants or find greener pastures (ie. silos)?
The practical reality is that Reddit seems to have overtaken Stormfront as the world’s largest White Supremacy community.

Are you kidding me? Flagged. And shame on whoever thought it was a good idea to bring this insulting garbage to #1 in the first place.
Given that your HN posting history mostly consists of you saying how you really want to join the army and kill people, can you honestly say that self defense was your primary motivation for buying a gun? It sounds to me like you want to use it.

Your stories don't really support your position because everyone involved is still alive. If you'd had a gun, then at least one person could very well be dead as a result of committing a not particularly serious crime.
No it couldn't, and the reason is right in the name. No one entity controls the internet. It's network-of-networks, most of which are privately owned.
How do you figure? The internet is a non-central system by default. There is no central authority, period. Someone putting money and time into their own website does not help fund Stormfront.

Why is it that when anyone tries to make a statement or a stand these days, people equivocate themselves into a blithering hole?
