I'm not sure that it would be seen as equivalent here given the overall push away from net neutrality over the last decade. I could see many government officials making the (out-dated) argument that the internet is a non-essential service and you online profiles are not as critical as physical government-issues IDs.

Edit: Forgot this post was a couple days old, working through my HN backlog haha

I'm not well-versed on the topic, but I'd guess that an abrupt change in protection could lead to more injuries in the short-term.

I remember reading this story from a couple years ago: http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2015/03/union_cou...

Apparently if a child is very young, the water is extremely cold, and everyone involved is extremely lucky then crazy stuff can happen. (Un?)Fortunately this isn't something that happens often enough that we can get a lot of data on how the body can recover from stuff like this.

This was the important part for me at least. There are a lot of songs that I think I'm not into. Once I forced myself to listen to all of them all the way through I found a lot of good stuff.

Your last line is very important. In PA I was able to get a full write-up on the NDA/ IP portion of my contract for $150. If you are planning on making something potentially profitable/ valuable in your spare time, $150 is peanuts for peace-of-mind.

This comment thread is the only reason I know everything had moved to YouTube... I had been wondering where the hell all of the tournaments had gone for the last few months... Open Twitch, click CS:GO, see if there's anything on has been my flow for 2+ years.

And there still won't be anything on TV!

I agree with everything you've said. There's enough politics in everything else; I come here to be a nerd and learn about nerdy things.

Also I've noticed that even though HN tends to promote discussion pretty well on technical subjects, even here political discussions tend to devolve into flame wars.

But, wouldn't you? More importantly, shouldn't you? If the people in your government are doing something that is not in your best interest then you SHOULD speak up against it. After all, the word "representative" is based on the word "represent". If they are not representing my interests to the government then I should make that known.

If I have ailment X and a bill is being pushed that pulls funding/ assistance away from ailment X, then I should make it known that I am unhappy about it. What if it is now guaranteed that I will die from ailment X? You're saying that I shouldn't kick and yell about it? I'm about to die!

However, if it is also helps people with ailment Y, Z, I, J, K, and L, then it is the government's job to recognize that maybe I am less important to the bigger picture. If enough people will be negatively impacted to the point that I will not be reelected, then maybe it doesn't truly benefit my constituency as much as I think it will.

Of course all of this is in an ideal world without accounting for the power of advertisement funding and the fact that most of the voting population isn't well educated about the issues.

As someone who uses IntelliJ at the moment, this is an interesting thought to me. What would your workflow look like? In-IDE terminal + Vim for code editing and the rest of the IDE for refactoring, running code, etc.?

Or did you mean use Vim bindings in IntelliJ?

It looks like someone changed the post's link to Matt Might's now.

I think what he meant was that each individual mutation is random. There isn't someone intelligently deciding what the next batch of mutations should look like.

It's pretty weird.
