Are you arguing that the NSA does not fall under the umbrella of the "US Government"?

All of whom are managing money for other people including pensions, 401k, and mutual funds.

If you chase it all the way down the chain, I hold funds that track the S&P500, which includes Intel. A tiny portion of that money he makes by insider trading comes out of my pocket.

Apple didn't have to replace batteries, they chose to do it to quiet down the bad PR they were receiving.

When Intel issues a microcode update to slow down aging Skylake processors so that everyone goes out to buy Cannonlake, you might be able to draw a comparison.

That's not capital in the sense of durable assets to be depreciated. That's an operational expense.

It's trivially easy to imagine this from the opposite perspective.

Imagine you worked in a 90% gay office, and it was tolerated to disparage you and remark on the vile nature of your heterosexuality on a daily basis.

Only an exceptionally strong willed person would stay very long and it still probably would reduce their output of novel ideas.

The argument is not, and should never be, that we should fire people for their thoughts. If someone is strongly socially conservative, that's their right. But is is perfectly reasonable to require people to leave those conversations at home when they head into the office.

That's the argument. The power utilities are tightly regulated.

Just because a person uses the words "What about" does not make their argument whataboutism.

Their argument is 100% relevant to the sentiment that was expressed. If the stated benefit of excluding one group to allow for the free expression of the other is increased scientific discourse, how do we balance that against the loss of discourse from the excluded?

That's how RFC2822 defines the email headers. That's not a leak, that's just how email works. When you send from the web app it uses that client as the originator.

They are not taxing bitcoin this way either, nor do they for a stock share that you own.

You're taxed on the realized gain (or loss) when you sell the asset.

The same as you are when you convert a currency back into USD.

Do you mean: Risk Priority Number? Reverse Polish Notation? Registered Psychiatric Nurse? Radio Philippines Network?

Surely you're aware that acronyms are sometimes domain specific and have multiple meanings.

I would love to know what job you have in programming making $500k in your mid-30s.

He doesn't have a reference because it's nonsensical.

Say it takes you 15 extra years to get into the workforce over a UPS driver, that you're saddled with $400k of debt and that UPS driver is the highest compensated driver in history at $100k.

$350k over 30 years is $10,500,000 - $400k = $10.1MM

$100k over 45 years is $4.5MM

Your net earnings is >200%

Even if there is not a traditional transmission, there is still a gearbox behind the electric motor.

Tires only rotate at ~1000 RPM on the freeway where the electric motor in a Tesla might be at 10k rpm. That 10x reduction still needs to be factored in.

No, it does not magically transfer ownership, but for what crime would you be prosecuted? You've already done time for stealing the car.

Poster is probably referring to Peter Thiel who's company Palantir was funded through CIA contracts.

I'm going to assume that you can edit .bashrc for these as that's the premise from the original article.

You could adjust it so that it uses a central notes store on one ssh host pretty easily with something like:

  notes() {
      echo $1 | ssh user@remotehost "cat >> ~/notes.md"
  }

then you probably need something like

  read_notes() {
      ssh user@remotehost "cat ~/notes.md" | more
  }

The difference between 10 and 20 years ago is a bit of a stretch.

I won't argue with you on the first number. 10 years ago good photographers took beautiful images with the Canon 1Ds Mk III or the Nikon D300.

However, 20 years ago you were stuck with modified film bodies like the Kodak DCS520, shooting 2 megapixel images of questionable quality[0] for the bargain price of $15,000[1]

It is only fairly recently that any digital camera off the shelf is capable of producing "good" images with a good photographer, and we're now getting to the point where computational photography and incredible smartphone sensors will produce good images with a total novice at the helm. That's what makes this all so exciting.

Hyper + fish does.

Hyper + zsh can.

It's not dependent on who you read. Selling single digit millions of phones is not impressive.

Apple sells 80M iPhones in a quarter. Samsung is estimating 20M per quarter for the S8.

The Pixel is insignificant in the larger market.

The cut-out also has the speaker, front facing camera, and ambient light sensor, or would you go without those as well?

Apple prefers that the device names never be pluralized[0]

I went to a computer camp as a child and my first project was a number guessing game where the computer would pick a random number and then tell you hotter and colder as you guessed numbers.

I passed it to a friend to show off my work, and the first number he entered was "a", crashing the program immediately. Defending against rogue inputs was literally the first thing I ever learned about writing safe code.

In what way would everyone be better off?

Do you think that the VC money is what drove them to behave in a way that you don't agree with? If so, how do you square that with the fact that they are now publicly traded and not subject to VC whims?

What does HN consider a LOCL state?

SF / NYC are certainly not, Mississippi certainly is, but where is the threshold? Oregon? Colorado? Vermont? Pennsylvania?

mosh support in Blink completely changes the game. Switching networks is trivial and not worrying about the three minute connection timeout just because I'm reading docs in Safari is freeing.

Most people do not live on a factory campus the size of a small city where the definition of "at work" becomes a bit hazy.

Curious, which state is that?

You switched to a playback means that is inherently destructive to the media as a means to protect against data loss?

The secret exchange is certainly on the wrong side of the connection, but it's either that or change the way email clients work. We are living in an IMAP4 world and if you choose to "trust the server", as they state it, this seems like a reasonable solution.
