Ask HN: what is LinkedIn's value? I hate almost all forms of social media. What value gave all y'all gained?

This is why I'm pro lynch mob. Allow a free market with few if any regulations. Also allow for common violence if a company strays too far from customs. If a CEO is shown to pollute the water ways there is always an AR15 out there. Few

I agree. You face a problem: the western world has done this. What's left is introducing this to Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia. Given those areas current social evolution, you're going to be hard pressed to make an in

You still have a left over population. Are you going to destroy whole species? You would need to cull all of the domesticated animals to remove their impact. Otherwise you don't solve the problem or have ferrel chickens and cows roamin

The disruption is probably not in the form of traditional hardware. You'll have to attack a different problem that tractors or other heavy farm equipment solve. For example, can you bioengineer bugs that keep plants safe, but eat weeds

Why the down votes? Would some people say why they are against talking about how the human population could enforce the idea of limiting itself? Given that it goes against the core biological imperative, I don't think I'm wrong in

Only if you kill all cows. Or most farmed animals. I'd be interested in numbers around emissions created by now trying to produce enough produce for the world.

But who and how will you limit the babies? For example, babies from the Middle East will outpace European babies by a large number. Should Europe limit immigrants' ability to conceive? If so, how? Would you force sterilization? Would y

How much of your code is OS focused? When I tried other approaches such as Ionic, the views started to be come heavily OS focused. Do you just forgo the native appearance?

It's not the new hotness anymore. Scala came along. The author of Groovey says Scalia is better. It's also semidynamic. So if you don't like that, you won't like that (tautology of the day). Updated for Scalia to Scala.

I'm more in the Spring camp, but most of JEE is annotations based. You can put a Betty backing under it without much problem. Spring Boot does it even more readily. I'm not saying that Kotlin is bad, but most things are now pretty

That isn't bringing anything to the argument. The topic at hand is should the We be concerned about people that abused the system or the people that followed the law? It's a high level question. Do we want people that are governed

I'm actually pro immigration. One of my biggest issues with H1B is the difficulty of a citizenship path. I would prefer to court true H1B holders. I want the US to be the number one country for all the high skilled people of the world.

Only because they are here by breaking the intent and possibly the letter of the law. If they are here because they have real skills, great. I care while they're here. If they are drones used to illegally displace workers, boot them ou

by virmundi 10y ago
That's the point. The H1B program should bring the best and brightest to the US due to a lack of skills and or availability in the high skilled areas. Drone work is by definition not high skilled areas. Therefore the H1B folk should no

I think we need to rename AI. It's not really intelligent. It probably won't be for a long while. The machines don't know, in an existential sense, what they are looking at or making. We need to call it Artificial Insight. Th

It's not just the proletariat's savings. It's eveyone's. Some places have negative rates. You pay the bank. This means that money had to go some where. We have it in the market. As a result smart people and dumb people l

I understand that. I started to make my product in Clojure. Got fairly along. Created an ArangoDB driver and migrator for it. Once I started creating the services, I keep having to go up through essentially the call stack to figure out what

I like Erlang. It's got an odd syntax so some of the Java/C# baggage is dropped. It's oddity makes it kinda fun in its own right. If you want to do network programming, OTP is pretty neat. http://learnyousomeerlang

Here's the thing, unless you could somehow get rid of every gun on the planet, crazy with a gun is a thing. Given that people can hand craft a revolver with parts from Home Depot, guns are a thing. I am fairly liberal. I'd rather

It only seems like that. As I said Florida is a nice balance of crazy. We've got several metropolitan areas that appeal to the leftist. We've got a lot of conservative areas too. For the most part people just leave you alone. Flor

Florida. Sunny, has many beaches. Broadband even in small towns like Palatka. Low cost of living. A good balance of all kinds of crazy. You can even own guns, a big truck and more guns while living on a large river if you so choose all on a

As an American I have no idea about the veracity of the GP claims or your claims that they are false. Can others step in and make HN great again by having a cool, reasoned debate about the history of thr Turks within the confines of their d

I think there might be a happy medium. Knowing how to implement a specific algorithm is not necessary. Knowing of algorithms and picking the right one is important. For example, a junior developer apparently forgot about hash sets. He used

Hard to say. Since you're a finger in the Hand, I guess the palm would tell you to fold.

In the examples above, the primary source of truth is the auth service. However, the rights get distributed (duplicated) to the various services. As I pointed out towards the end, there is a period of time where the auth service might say t

To expand a bit upon user5994461's statement, you're probably doing it wrong if you're working like this regardless of laptop. If a micro service depends on a micro service, you might be doing it wrong. Let's say there i

I don't see why society needs to care specifically about their desires. The only reason for copyright at all is we think it's best for the person creating a work to have exclusive rights to said work for a period of monetizing. If

Such rights are part of a social contract only. When the US decided to implement such a contract, the original duration was 14 years plus another 14 if the owner of the work was still alive [1], and pursed the next term. We've now got

There are at least two issues you raise in this response, neither are directly an answer to IoT as an absolutely retarded idea. First, you say you don't own much, therefore IoT won't help you. That's fine, but it doesn't
