Man just the idea of frozen assets freaks me out. Like I got people to feed here, how is someone just going to block my access to funds. That's why LTC and BTC are so appealing to me. Its like I'm god with my money.
> And local dialects are anything but unusual, they appear even in not so isolated regions of small european countries. Which is a lot less likely place for a local dialect to survive than northern Swedish forest is.

I was always amazed by the linguistic diversity in Italy, much of which is anything but isolated. Even in the plains of the Veneto, you can ride a bike far enough for the locals to tell that you're from a different area (without even looking at what's written on your jersey!).

40,000 people a year in the US. I wouldn't be surprised at all if an experienced truck driver has seen dozens of dead people.
Congratulations!

I have zero practical advice to give you but I can relate as I am in the exact same position. Stressing out to get as much done prior to 11/30.

The one thing that I keep hearing about is the yo-yo feeling of guilt. Guilt that you aren't doing enough at work, guilt that you aren't doing enough at home. Ultimately, I am trying to get myself in the right mindset to be able to look past those feelings and realize I am doing the best that I can and that will have to be good enough.

> Do we abandon copyright because of scale?

This is an interesting question. I wonder if, due the number of items in the training set and the minimal impact of each individual creative work, it would be considered fair use.

If your training set significantly consists of images from someone else's training set in the same domain, you might have a conflict. But for arbitrary images, it may be analogous to search engines indexing (and learning from) copyrighted material, which is generally protected.
That's not really true. I don't use ad blockers, but I still care about my browser speed.

You replied to someone asking if you had been lied to by a bank, by linking stories that...don't involve you. Or banks lying to customers.

The first link clearly indicates an accidental accounting error, the second talks about banks being negligent in conducting due diligence. The difference between "you knew this was false" and "you should have known this was false" is more than a merely pedantic distinction.

> banks are regularly fined for lying, cheating, stealing or laundering.

Untrue. Banks are regularly fined for a variety of things, but there is a material distinction between failing to properly vet clients, some of whom (as it turned out) were laundering drug money, and knowingly laundering drug money. You link to stories about the former, yet describe it as the latter. If your case is strong, it can be made without inaccuracy.

I guess you could try and focus on the LIBOR scandal, but that's a pretty weak tea. It also didn't involve banks lying to customers (which was what was originally asked). Besides, by many estimates, benefited customers (who got lower interests rates on balance than they should have done) at the expense of wealthy investors. Terrible, no doubt, but not really the same thing as knowingly aiding criminals.

I experienced this problem too. It didn't seem to exist on ubuntu or fedora, which were the two OS distributions I was developing for. Windows and Mac were the only platforms displaying the issue when I'd tested it.

EDIT:

Awh, that's sad... s/he deleted the comment....

The issue the individual linked was https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/14875, an open issue the contributors acknowledged as existing since June 13, 2014.

Come on everyone, this is HN -- let's not pick apart valid concerns people express that they have experienced personally, especially when those concerns are acknowledged as an existing issue by the repository's main contributors in the linked issue...

Being rude is not supportive of an open dialogue and comments intended to efface the author of the original comment from the conversation are just despicable. When you alienate someone, they leave, and that's exactly what happened here. Hopefully whoever that was didn't just up and delete their HN account.
nice tips!
> your bed is for sleeping and sleeping only

Point taken, but can we expand that list by one? ;-)
That's just poor wording. What it means is "Everything described as a fact in the complaint should be treated as an allegation."

Criminal complaints are written as if everything in them is a true fact, unlike, say, newspaper articles that use phrases like "the alleged thief."

For example, a newspaper article about this complaint would say things like "The FBI's criminal complaint alleges that..." - even though the complaint itself states it as a fact.
For high-value custom applications, you can go a step further and enforce a stored procedure interface to the database.

Essentially the application is given no permission to write to tables at all, but just to call various stored procedures which enforce access permissions and implement auditing.

This works particularly well if the database is append-only (writing change records instead of mutating, rather like double entry book-keeping).
Salves were usually forced against their will to do arduous tasks, which I'm sure none of them quite enjoyed nor voluntarily signed up for. I understand that some employers may treat their workers poorly (and some may even think of themselves as actual slavemasters) but this is a very poor comparison.
Seeing as how drunk driving kills a very large number of people every year and is now punishable by imprisonment and extremely steep fines, you might be onto something here.
That means the statements are presented as facts, but are not yet proven and thus are technically only allegations.

Generally, one shouldn't present allegations as facts (use phrases such as 'allegedly'), but doing so is standard for criminal complaints.
>I actually think you chose a bad example with the Adobe suite.

It's actually a perfect example:

* Any DRM it has obviously is annoying and could prevent you from using a valid copy (though I've never seen it not work).

* It's crazy expensive.

* Its UI is annoying.

And yet it's by far the most used piece of software when it comes to editing photos (with the possible exception of Adobe Lightroom).

FWIW, PSD is a pretty well standardized file format, and files created in older versions of PhotoShop have always reliably worked in newer versions of the app. It's the other way around, especially if you're using transformations that don't exist in the older app, where you most frequently encounter problems. Which means that if you don't pay their ongoing extortion fees, you might end up getting a PSD that you can't open because of some new feature the older app doesn't support.

Yes it's annoying. But it's also hands down the best, and no professional graphic artist would be taken seriously without it. Gimp doesn't even come close in functionality -- but even worse, the various tutorials and scripts you can follow or acquire for PhotoShop don't work in Gimp.

>The article was talking specifically about serving the interests of users of applications.

Sure it was, but in my example I point out one of many apps that is vastly superior to its open source equivalents, and yet it is the one that serves users the best. Yes Adobe extorts money from those users. Yes it would be nice if it were just open and free. But the reason that Adobe can make software that is so much better is that it can extort that money from users.

So what good is the GPL in fighting apps like this? It accomplishes nothing with respect to large companies like Adobe, because they can just pay to reimplement what they need.

The argument is that the GPL will allow better software to be written with capital-f-Freedom than proprietary. That the GPLed libraries will grow in quantity and eventually outcompete proprietary tools. Other than developer tools (and precious few of those even qualify, honestly), name a GPL application that's better than its closed source rivals. Write a list of all of them that you can think of, in fact. If you hit a half dozen, I'd be surprised -- and there are dozens if not hundreds of solid proprietary packages that make the open source packages look embarrassingly bad by comparison.

Yes you can find GPL apps that are Good Enough for some purposes. I do know people who use and swear by Gimp, for example, or Inkscape. But except for people who use Free tools for philosophical (or financial) reasons, the vast majority of end users want the mainstream, proprietary software that for the most part works the way they expect.

Users are being better served by apps that work well and have the features they need. It happens those apps typically are proprietary. Some philosophies sound good on paper, but in reality fall apart. The GPL largely falls into that trap, IMO, except for the awesome developer tools that are available for free. And Firefox. I still like Firefox. :)
Would they still prefer the burbs if those issues weren't issues? They're just the hipsters who jumped ship (I mean no disrespect; they selflessly gave up the city life they otherwise wanted) before it got cool (and conditions improved).
> The point is that it isn't a dialect, it's accepted by linguists as a separate language.

The trite phrase with some truth behind it that's often written in these discussions: "a language is a dialect with an army".
Note that Servo proper isn't supposed to _have_ a UI (well, a browser chrome). It's an engine, Servo maps better to Trident or Gecko (rather than Firefox/Chrome/Edge). There are some experimental UIs for Servo though (which are also minimalistic, but that's because there hasn't been much work there yet)
Many IO functions in Haskell use what is known as "lazy I/O", so no, monads are not particularly to do with order of evaluation.

Fact and allegation are indeed xor. Saying that facts should be treated as allegations is.. well... strange.

The phrasing probably comes from the legal-style-wording in which I imagine they are trying to ensure they are not able to be sued by the defendant under e.g. defamation by presenting their facts (by saying they are all allegations not facts, they cover all of their bases).
Even if technology, or more likely the web, will get to a point where it's good enough, people are notoriously awful at identifying that point when it comes. See old quotes about five computers in the world and whatnot.

I always find it very hard to believe a person saying "we've reached the end now, progress was good up until now, but this is quite enough really".
Why not just parse the color and preface the comment with "Downvoted comment". The same can be done for flagged and dead comments without parsing the color.
>I'm not saying it wasn't tough, but housing prices were much lower relative to incomes in the 50s and 60s, even in a place like San Francisco.

What do you mean even? San Francisco has to be in the top five in terms of growth in the value of property over that time period. There's no way incomes could keep up. But that's an outlier. Housing in the East Bay is very affordable.

>Sure it did, but it's a lot worse today because traffic congestion has progressed to unprecedented levels.

That's kind of an uneven thing. As I pointed out in another comment, the traffic in Southern California is better today than it was in the '70s. Texas has gotten the lion's share of the country's growth in recent years - I'm not surprised Houston is bad.
Well set up an api to talk to the data base service via a microservice (no sense putting straight SQL out there)

Set up routing such that the microservice cannot talk to any machine that isn't on the same subnet as the front end (perhaps some static route work will help)

Design the app so that no transaction state is kept in the web server, pass idempotent statements through the API with transactional identifiers rather than keep state.

Create logs using a separate service that can watch all traffic between the front end and the micro service by snooping the network between them. Make the only way to login to the logging server from a locally resident console terminal, have it send the logs to your network accessible system but internally provide triggering on suspicious activities.

Never allow "remote hands" service on any machine in a data center you don't own, install intrusion detection on every machine.

That is probably a start.

I'll second that. The mtn biking trails start at the end of my street and I can bike to town on them. Kayaking is a 1 minute drive. My office is 10 minutes away. I saw a raccoon in my neighbors driveway yesterday and deer in my backyard last fall. It's not a bad life...
Birth control was readily available by 1970. Presumably you've heard about "free love" and all that?
Fair enough. I respect agree with your viewpoint, and you're not the one I'm calling out if that's your position. I do however think that from practical standpoint, when compared to copyleft licensing, permissive licensing is a weak solution toward the end that you are seeking.
Whenever somebody doesn't like something, they can just roll out their discriminatory flag and wave it around. Just as they are complex humans, the individuals offering help are complex humans. Sometimes I feel like people really just need little caps on that ticker tape print the motivation behind the words they are speaking before we will finally be out of this mess of "my feelings got hurt". I mean it is supposed to be about motivation after all right? If somebody is actually trying to be nice that should be ok right? Or are they just as damned as a racist? In which case maybe the campaign should be "don't talk to me unless I give signals that indicate that I think you are attractive/potentially helpful to me". What bullocks.

Its is like the social sphere is splitting into two entities: those who are approachable and those who fancy themselves so special as to not be approached.
Lenny Bruce covered this topic back in in his day*, and wasn't afraid to use the actual words instead of euphemisms like in this article. The people trying to censor 'profanity' are the ones who give the words power.

For the bottom 50% of earners, real wages are more or less the same now as they were in 1970. They went up for a bit from the 90s to 08, but they are back at 1970 levels now.
Because wages have recently fallen, people in this group feel very poor right now.

For the top 50% of earners (increasing the closer to the top you get), real wages have increased a lot since the 1970s.

Between 1940 and 1985, most people were able to save about 5% of their income. Between 1985 and 2012, this decreased to become negative (i.e. most people live on debt).

Medical care, education, and energy have increased in cost several times over since 1970, and these costs are not captured in the real wages I quoted. It may be these costs explain why people have a lower disposable income, demonstrated by decreased savings rate.

I have little to say about his passing, other than loving the bits of E. L. Doctorow's writing I've read in the past and missing his work going forward.

But I will say that the Paris Review Interviews are a treasure trove of insight into some of the most creative cultural minds we've had. To tie this back to tech, Susan Lammers' "Programmers at Work" interviews from the mid-1980s (consistently), and Jessica Livingston's "Founders at Work" (at its best) both bring this same kind of openness and honesty. I found Lammers' book to hold up better, perhaps because the interviewees were seminal names in the personal computing era and by and large not self-aware of image at the time, while only a handful of Livingston's subjects hit that sweet spot.) Both books deserve a place on your shelf.

I have a browser chock full o' tabs of Paris Review interviews to wade through now...

I don't think it has to be entirely responsive to a specific poor choice. At the company I worked at the bureaucracy increased hand in hand with the complexity of the system (paired with the departure of the original systems sages [who literally knew every specific of the aircraft on par with the design engineers]). Single persons could no longer see the effect of their decisions on the entirety of the system (and therefore needed to check with others via protocols etc). Cascade that a couple times (smart, ambitious people do not like filling out forms [in general]) and out pops a 20k employee company where no one knows anything except how to fill out form 108DB-A.

Also it should be considered that if a small business makes a lot of ill-considered, fast decisions, chances are they're no longer in business.

I assume that banks religiously file suspicious activity reports, especially if you go to them and say "Hey, please wire this ransom." Given where the FBI put the words "in violation of ... laws," my guess is that the charge is not for facilitating the money transfer itself, it's for doing so without reporting to the federal government.
I agree that "recent tabs from other devices" is very handy. IE11 does have that, so I guess Edge will too (at least eventually). This doesn't help you since you probably don't want to trade your Android phone/tablet for Windows phones/tablets.

If you insist on Android devices, Firefox also has the "recent tabs from other devices" feature. The feature is so useful it made me switch from Chrome to Firefox in fact: I used to use Chrome on my laptop and when I bought an Android tablet I used Chrome on it to share tabs between devices, but then Android Chrome introduced some change that made MathJax render incorrectly, so I switched to Android Firefox on the tablet; this in turn made me switch to Firefox on my laptop, to be able to share tabs again.

> One of my younger friends moved out to the bay at a 90k salary and he cannot afford to live by himself in a one bedroom apartment in the south bay, let alone SF.

That's preposterous. Even with significant payments like student loans, that's easily done on 90k. Typical rent in SB is 2k a month. A good deal on a 1 bedroom place is something like 1200.

Yes, downtown SF is ridiculous. All those stories about tiny places for 4k a month are more-or-less true. Even then, people often find much better deals, but I'll happily concede that the situation is out of hand there. The rest of the bay, though? Pshh. Sure it's not cheap, but it's nothing like people try to make it out.
This is a trivially absurd argument for two reasons:

First, it would be extremely straightforward to make a measuring device that spits out irrational numbers. Take the output, truncate at half the accuracy, and append an irrational to the output.

Second, outputting an irrational number as a measurement does not imply that it's able to output any member of the complement of the rationals in the reals. You also conflate the computable numbers with the describable numbers -- but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you believe strong Church-Turing and aren't just committing an elementary error.

There are ways in which set theoretic concerns apply to the real world, but they are few and far between, and this is not among them. You're essentially in line with people who attempt to use Goedel's proofs to make grandiose pronouncement about human thought. It. Does. Not. Apply.
I agree with you entirely. And the thing is, it is a microaggresion. How convenient is it that it is something that most reasonable people would consider to be not consciously noticeable. Awfully convenient to be able to sling around these terms that a person cannot reasonably defend themselves from. This is on the same level as trying to prove that something doesn't exist eg I am not a --- (fill in the blank) is akin to Unicorns don't exist. You can't do it! But, hey, I guess people who just want to assume the worst in everybody are winning these days?

My data is on the analysis of U.S cities. Please use Google. That's what were talking about right?

Dense European cities are not designed like U.S cities namely in way of transportation systems... That's the number one point you're missing. Europe != US. Europe has tons of suburbs btw. You should travel outside city cores the next time you're there. Europe's transportation network doesn't revolve around highways and individual vehicle transport. Thus, they don't have the problem the U.S has in way of how people get into city cores.

Not to mention, you're missing a huge difference w.r.t to how jobs are scattered throughout the U.S vs europe and the affordability of housing therein.

Since the U.S's transportation system is not like Europe's nor are the city centers, the U.S's cities are most definitely not more efficient when you consider the total cost (the huge pollution cost, the time cost, and inefficiency of people who can't afford/fit in the city commuting in)
