This is negotiation. It's an adversarial system. The proponents of this bill <i>know</i> they are not going to get everything they ask for. The point is to stake out a position very far toward what they want so as to force opponents of this bill to just whittle it down.<p>If they proposed something saner and lost, they'd lose completely. But propose something insane and lose and you still might win something.

Perhaps self-focused might be a better term? Normal people aren't deciding to not feel others' emotions like I do—they just, don't.<p>Indeed, I am still able to make rational decisions, but it would be a lot easier if I didn't <i>feel</i> their pain wouldn't it?<p>See, being on the other end of the spectrum isn't a choice. I will feel everyone else's emotions, whether I want to or not. I might even think they're completely insane, or immature, but I still can't help but feel empathy. Doing so can be extremely exhausting.<p>Autistic people don't choose to not care, and I didn't particular choose to care (or more accurately, feel), it's just the way I am.

Related, "Forecast Font" takes an interesting approach to this, using a webfont: <a href="http://forecastfont.iconvau.lt/" rel="nofollow">http://forecastfont.iconvau.lt/</a><p>Because it uses css to overlay elements, the woff font itself can be just the required pieces, rather than all the combinations. The woff font is 4.6kb. Not as tiny as ascii art, but still pretty small.

My home office setup (where I try to spend most of my working time):<p>Desk: StandDesk adjustable standing desk with bamboo top<p>Chair: Standard leather office chair from BigBox store<p>Monitor: Dual 1080p 5 year old Acers. This is next on my upgrade list<p>Keyboard: CODE Keyboard with Cherry MX Clear switches<p>Hours: 9/10am -> Until ~8+ Hours worked<p>Bonus: Box full of baby chickens and heat lamp. They moved in a few weeks back and I'm waiting for them to grow big enough to be moved outside. Them being around has prompted me to go into my work-office and/or work from another room these past 2 weeks. They're cute but it'll be good when they move out! The cheeping isn't so bad but the heat lamp and the temperatures they require do not align with my preferences.

I have an Xbox One and it's a mess. The UI is strange, it has a tendency to do strange things (e.g. This week it's decided that selecting apps won't work anymore despite hitting A) if powered on too long, there are games that freeze, searching the store for games returns irrelevant results, the games are huge and with a local install required me to buy an external drive just to keep a collection of games available for play and the standby power option gave me so many issues I had to disable it so now I deal with crazy long boot times.<p>That said I hate the PlayStation remote, it's basically designed for super small hands and I have very large hands, so I'm not switching. I'm also fond of Halo.<p>Seems like the best thing Microsoft could do would be to deliver a remote gaming experience over the net. That way the console cost can be negligible and not require replacement as frequently. They could charge more for Xbox live because it's actually doing the compute and it'd be available on the go even from cell phones. That'd move lots of young people to the windows phone ecosystem.<p>Kind of how music moved folks to Apple back in the day.<p>Unfortunately that won't happen. Microsoft is too focused on corporate clients to move the needle in the consumer market.

Given the frequency with which I have to cold restart my Xbone, I'd say Microsoft is well on its way to turning it into a PC.<p>Snark aside, this is probably one of crappiest articles I've ever read (EDIT:) on Ars Technica (or rather, skimmed; didn't deem it worth reading word-for-word). "Microsoft should make a do-it-all box for $200 that has cutting-edge GPU and CPU, and they should fragment their hardware lineup. Oh, and put a pony in every box." I'm sure this article is being passed around the E&D executive suite as I type.

Can you explain a bit more about how these people can raise their standard of living by moving?<p>Money is just an abstraction for real goods and services produced by the economy. Presumably we need people to live in Philly since that's where our industry is. If people moved away to some remote place, wouldn't our economy take a hit? Not to mention the transportation costs of servicing a more remote, less dense area.

I've only read three fantasy series besides ASOIAF but all of the have similar character development.<p>I think the difference in ASOIAF is that there isn't a clear set of protagonists and antagonists. Or maybe the story so far only talked about the protagonists and the antagonists are yet to be revealed.

We really did think a lot about this. It turns out that there is no clean separation between "index code" and "query for results". E.g. In Python if you see x.foo() you may need to know a _lot_ about the universe of Python libraries to do the type inference required to figure out what foo is in that particular expression.

Cargo is bad. I hate how every language has to have it's own package manager.<p>It's worse than just reinventing the wheel because it's actively harming everyone by requiring them to have a million package managers installed and know how to use them all. And often times these language specific package managers are insecure and lack many features. If we had just a few big package managers like nix and guix people could just package for those and we could have everything in one place. Projects like node, perl, python, rust etc. don't need to be the only people in control of their package managers. They could just host language specific repos or something.

> How about "An arrogant way of living?" Haha.<p>Yeah, it is amazing how much his arrogance and pride seemed to play into his behavior. He could have exited this whole situation in Brazil [Retiring] a wealthy man and would have been largely immune since they didn't have the ability to get their hands on him.<p>> His OPSEC sucks. I mean, I'm amazed that he didn't get caught earlier in some unrelated investigation using his real name and emails on all kinds of shady stuff. Many I know are too paranoid to do that thinking someone would connect dots. He did it and nobody connected dots until piles of high risk crimes added up with benefit of easy tracing. Even police said a little more obfuscation would've thrown them. This means we've overestimated the police's ability to connect dots on suspicious items. Just don't know how much.<p>I found that amazing as well but I think it has to do with the fact he was basically a black market profiteer dealing in low level stuff.<p>> Le Roux couldn’t have known that this new venture had made him a narco-terrorist in the eyes of the U.S. government. Until he had fled for Brazil, his case had been the province of the DOJ’s Consumer Protection Division, the federal prosecutors that handle pill-mill cases, and the Minnesota investigation team anchored by Kim Brill.<p>The Consumer Protection Division likely doesn't have the resources to break even a criminal with essentially no OPSEC based on this.<p>My guess is if he stayed out of hard drugs, arms, etc. he might have also stayed completely safe because it sounds like they simply couldn't handle him until it got kicked to the FBI/DEA/etc.

Yes, I agree completely. Take leftpad, for example....<p>And more seriously, there are times when factoring out "common" code makes the code <i>significantly</i> more complicated, and often turns your common code into a morass of special cases as your application progresses, and these cases that looked "the same" end up being "not quite the same".

The difference is that for my friends I have granted them explicit privileges beforehand to have access to that kind of data. It's different when a stranger is scanning me, mining me for data. And actually yes I do feel like a product or mark at conferences when people come up to me and just chat me up because of the company I work for (you've heard of it) - they almost always want quid-pro-quo type interactions or otherwise don't care about <i>me</i> per se, but just the quantification of me that exists on the badge. It's one of the reasons I don't enjoy industry conferences that much or when I do go, I prefer not to wear a badge.<p>And honestly, scanning from a distance is still incredible invasive.<p>You can be the "master of your eyes" but don't get offended if I or others think you're a creep. You may not be touching me but you're definitely noticeably staring. The rejection Google Glass actually gives me some faith in the decency of people, but you're probably right, society at large will adjust because the profit motive and law enforcement capabilities for this sort of technology are too great for them not to become entrenched by media and government interests. Personally I find it inhumane and repulsive, but I'm old fashioned like that. I prefer more organic human interactions, nuance, getting to actually know someone beyond a readout on a screen. I'm a private person in an increasingly public circus of society.

Plus them storing them in bags and carrying them so much. I can't recall if the gold bars can come in more convenient sizes and weights vs standard ones that are <i>heavy</i>. This was also a counterpoint in arguments against Book of Mormon discovery given calculations showed it was over 1,000lbs. Truly a miracle to get that sucker from point A to point B.

Remember folks, the Government you get in the future is unwritten and unknowable.<p>Sure, I don't think Obama is going to throw me in jail and I have nothing to hide now...but that doesn't mean in 20 years there won't be some Nationalist/Authoritarian type in control of the country like we saw with countless fallen democracies in the 20th century.<p>Similarly, the Government has shown it incapable of keeping a secret with the sheer number of security failures they've experienced. So anything they have, we can assume is both public and indefensible. They use this capability and they might as well hand the information to criminals on a silver platter.

304, not 403. And actually, only a 301 Permanent Redirect should be followed and used instead. bit.ly and URL shorteners it powers, which includes atav.st, use 301 Permanent Redirect.<p>Fetching the headers would also be a good way to check the MIME type (for automatic warnings like [pdf] or [video]), as well as checking the title.

- "Apple pays a lot better"<p>That may be true in Silicon Valley, but I got news for you there are tons of programming jobs outside of Silicon Valley or even the west coast. In the DC area, defense contractors are the highest paid folks due to the enormous expenses in both money and time involved with getting someone a clearance.<p>- "Defense contractors are infamous for treating employees somewhat lousily"<p>Where do you get this information? I worked as a government contractor for 15 years and never saw programmers get laid off. Sure the big contracting companies (Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon, etc.) have layoffs occasionally when there is a downturn in government funding, but they aren't typically laying off the folks that are their technical bread and butter, but rather folks who are pure overhead (HR, accounting, marketing, etc).<p>- "In fact, I would seriously bat an eye at someone who, with offer letters from both, chose to take a job at a defense contractor rather than Apple."<p>This seems to be a rather biased statement. Given the choice to work on software for controlling a satellite, software for data mining social network data to discover members of terror networks, software used for analyzing IED fragments, etc. versus software for sharing vacation pictures, dealing with spreadsheets, playing MP3s, etc. I will take the former most of the time because it is a much more interesting problem space. I also very much enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that my work may have helped save the lives of many people by preventing terrorist attacks.<p>- "The main thing the defense contractor job has going for it is the working hours are likely to be standard 9-5 with little or no overtime (as that gets billed to a government contract, so you're generally not allowed to work overtime without special approval). At high-profile places like Apple, unpaid overtime is generally expected to some degree."<p>This is also only partially true. If you are just a low level programmer, sure you work your 8 hours that are billed to the government and then go home. As soon as you are mid-level and above, that is no longer the case. All time spent doing reviews, interviews, internal software for the company, proposal support, etc. is above and beyond your 8 hours billed to the government. None of that time can be billed to the government and you are expected to bill 40 hours per week to contract so the rest of that work gets done above the 40 hours you bill.

I can see both sides of this. But looking at this argument:<p>> There are two ways to evaluate the the C specification's rightness and properness. [...] The second is to ask what is most useful. And there again the C committee have clearly failed.<p>Just two days on HN we saw this article: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11468603" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11468603</a> In which it says:<p>> no matter the kind of software, performance is almost always worse than our customers would like it to be.<p>That is why all of this is happening. There is a market demand for performance. Compilers that increasingly exploit UB in C is just a manifestation of that market demand.

My own software business makes Photoshop plug-ins. I doubt that has much intrinsic value, but I'm proud of what my customers have used them for. One customer runs an Etsy store selling t-shirts of Pugs wearing plaid, designed with my software. It's extremely niche, but makes her super happy & she earns more than I'd ever expect from it. Another customer runs a drug rehab program, and for those who complete the program, they get a free portrait photo shoot to see a before/after comparison of themselves, a visual reminder of what their life looks like away from drug addiction. I've also given free copies of my software to youth art programs, though that's practically free for me to do anyway.<p>I put some of my revenue/income towards charitable projects, but I keep much of that private / anonymous. My general philosophy on that comes from two of my favorite books, "Banker To The Poor" by Muhammad Yunus (of Grameen Bank) and "The Billionaire Who Wasn't: How Chuck Feeney Secretly Made and Gave Away a Fortune" by Conor O'Clery.

It is nice when your devices appears to always be on. But lets be real, my windows tablet isn't a phone.<p>So, I disabled InstantGo/Conected Standby on my dell tablet, and the battery now runs for days. I charge it once a week or so, unless I start playing games on it (in which case the battery only lasts for something like ~3/4 hours). That device gets pretty heavy use for book reading/ netflix/ web surfing.<p>The downside is that the power button is stupidly placed next to the volume buttons. So I frequently hit it instead of the volume button and that results in a ~5-10 second hibernate/resume sequence. I've been considering how hard it would be to physically cut the lead to it and the useless "window button" and PtP solder the windows button as the power button. (I haven't found any software solutions for reversing them).

I'm always conflicted with this.<p>On one end, I feel like security is hard enough that we don't need to go weakening it, in any way, to allow the government to be able to (with a lawful warrant) read the data. I feel like the citizens of the US are overall more secure with end to end encryption that no-one can backdoor.<p>On the other end, security is hard and we fail in so many other obvious, exploitable ways. Even with mandating that e.g. Apple be able to decrypt the contents of any iPhone it does not actually reduce our security in a meaningful way because there's so many other ways we routinely fail at security.

Why is this a moral problem? [1] Isn't this a market problem that the market can solve? Basic Income would add actual liquidity in the labor market. If workers <i>actually have</i> the option <i>not to work</i>, then the market has to finally figure out how to make the worker <i>want</i> to work.<p>Maybe that competition would lead to better companies and better work.<p>[1] Other than the lasting impact of the Puritans on American society, of course...

I've done a decent amount of hiring over the years. When I ask the candidates if they have any questions, I expect them to <i>interview me</i> as a potential manager. Everyone has their own set of criteria so there is not universal "good question to ask". Instead, you should figure out if you'd like to work with/for me? Do you feel you'd grow personally?<p>Perhaps you're in a phase of life where you just need the money to recover from an unfortunate situation. Still, you must figure out what are the criteria you won't compromise on, and make sure you're getting that. For some, it's work schedule; for others, it's communication styles. Maybe you'll be driven insane by my cheesy puns and so you'd probably want to figure that out ahead of time. Ask me what I'll do to ensure you'll be respected as an individual on the team.<p>When I'm a candidate, I like to ask how my failures will be dealt with. I will goof up at some point, the question is how is that managed. The larger point is there must be some discussion about potentially unpleasant situations.

not all shots are created equal - the "long 2" has a lower expected value than taking a few steps back for a 3-pointer, or finishing at the rim for an easier 2<p>we can't really hold kobe's last game against him imo - he's definitely been a ballhog but if it's his last game he should have the opportunity to shoot until his arms fall off

I'm in London and am in a similar situation to you, email me and let's meet or chat, perhaps we could pool resources...

Yeah, probably a bit over-engineered; just having a little fun. The idea is that you can filter and sort based on metadata, merge multiple lists, make mashups, and render/style it how you like. Feel free to just open an issue with a question, or post it here!<p>In the YAML, you can get away with just:
-q: Your question here.

This is not an argument for encryption. This is an argument for who has the keys. It is much easier to reach a compromise on the latter than the former.
