It is 100% certain that the riots would not have happened without him and the things he Tweeted. I don't even see how you can make that argument honestly.
So every time I type my email somewhere, I also have to go to my mail provider and pre-emptively whitelist the sender? This does not sound like a very good UX.

I suppose you can have a special system where you have a browser plugin which automatically generates some sort of subscription token and pastes it alongside email into subscription form.. but this will need cooperation from every mail-sending app, and will not handle non-web uses cases at all...
Subtext is important. The "Assessment" section of the linked article is pretty clear:

This determination is based on a number of factors, including:

- President Trump’s statement that he will not be attending the Inauguration is being received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election was not legitimate and is seen as him disavowing his previous claim made via two Tweets (1, 2) by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino, that there would be an “orderly transition” on January 20th.

- The second Tweet may also serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a “safe” target, as he will not be attending.

- The use of the words “American Patriots” to describe some of his supporters is also being interpreted as support for those committing violent acts at the US Capitol.

- The mention of his supporters having a “GIANT VOICE long into the future” and that “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an “orderly transition” and instead that he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election.

- Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021.

Context is important when evaluating words. The president has historically shown a pattern of speaking out of both sides of his mouth ("stand back and stand by"). The pattern continues here.
offtopic: at the bottom of the article he claims he has a WordPress theme that "constantly crashes chrome"? Get on the bounty son!
"Would someone need to deny that Willie Mays ever made an error in order to be his fan?"

Yet Gruber does.

I'm glad you take solace in being a fan. Feel free to refer to me as an Android/WP7/iPhone/Nokia/Palm fan when it comes to mobile phones. Seems like a pretty worthless statement (I used to think I was just a Laker fan, but by your definition, apparently I'm even a Clippers fan!), but if it makes you feel better about Gruber and his characterizations and perspective, feel free to do so.
Wow, really nice. Thought this will require a redesign of a carriage to match :)
Hmm, the concept of a federated structure is particularly appealing to me. Does anyone know of Allen & Co type setups for tech entrepreneurs? Co-working spaces like BetaHouse and Work Bar Boston come close, but I'd like something even more structured. If anyone in Boston or NYC is interested in starting something like this, e-mail me!

For everyone else, this is really an interesting talk well worth your 20 minutes.
Well, of course, thats part of the whole thing. In my mind, the person is saying that Using(ajax) iff Using(rails), and that python, perl, and php on the web are all the same thing. The same goes for C#, except I guess it means you're a corporate guy. For Java, I assume it means you're from a corporate history of using Java.
Okay, I suppose I could answer the question, here is a way you could do this...

Let's use Asia as an example. It's super cheap to live in a place like the Philippines. I'm in a two bedroom house in a great city for only $120 per month. I can get by on food here for about the same as rent or less. The visa costs around $60 per month average but you can stay here for 16 months before you have to do a visa run.

Want to travel more? That's another area where the Philippines shines. You can fly anywhere in the Philippines on domestic flights for like less than $30 per ticket and often much cheaper. You can get flights to places like Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok for as low as $60 each way.

With cheap expenses like that, your travel companions could live with you in a foreign country while you ditch them for other trips, while keeping your place in the Philippines as a base between travels.

Working is tricky. Bad economy means most things have bad pay. With expenses so low, it wouldn't take much to figure out how to get by with odd jobs done remotely through sites like Odesk or Elance. I hear foreigners can get call center gigs (likely some sort of language training / management) here. Also, there are lots of Koreans who will pay to learn English (the reason many of them are here) but they likely won't pay much. In any case, you really don't need much to get by.

This also ignores that it is trivial to make your own bump keys. I don't know why someone would buy one.
I think the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and by the sounds of it he has grown into a highly functional, and successful individual. This bears out a hypothesis that they were not systemically bad parents, rather they were dealing with a rather screwed up child/situation and were making the best of it.

The ends justify the means? That's rarely a good argument.

There are people who are beaten, raped, and abused on a frequent basis as children who turn out to be fine, upstanding adults, but that gives no reason to support such behavior. People can thrive despite bad circumstances, not because of it.
Fair enough. I can't blame you I want this functionality built into Padrino too and I am one of the core developers. I just haven't had the time to do it right yet and this is a piece that I want to be particularly easy to use and well-done.

Hope this helps :)
Here's a question: how the hell did you get awesome Mexican food that far away from Mexico? I hear people from Texas and California talk about awesome Mexican food, but never Detroit.
One thing to note with Django is that its documentation is excellent. It is often held up as a model for how good open source documentation can be.
I can't engage with this.

That's unfortunate. :-\

It's a bit disappointing to me that you're able to come to an understanding with the perspective of conservative Christians who want to ban gay marriage, yet aren't able to see my point of view.

That said, if you allow your own mature 9 year old daughter or so to have laissez-faire, unmonitored sexual relationships and write an article about it, I'd love to read it.

I'll be sure to if I ever get that opportunity. What I can say is that my sister does fit that description, and she alright, recently graduated at the top of her class, and has been accepted to an ivy league. No cybersex horror stories to speak of. Perhaps my parents did something right, besides giving her unrestricted internet access.

It's not about the content that's online, it's about the person who's viewing it. If they're intelligent and know what to watch out for, they'll be just fine, and love you the more for letting them masturbate in peace.
If you have ever used Sinatra, absolutely loved it and wanted an all-encompassing way to use it for a more complex problem seamlessly without having to move to Rails, then the need for Padrino becomes clear. Perhaps our post addressing some of these concerns will help explain our reasoning: http://www.padrinorb.com/blog/addressing-concerns-about-padr...
Because different browsers have different set of root certificates/authorities to authenticate the certificate.
Any sense of where to get the source data?

I wonder what the first principal eigenvector looks like.
StartCom is great, but 2 caveats: I found that StartCom's root authority is not recognized by some IE6 installs, and is still not recognized by Java (so applets, web start, java clients talking to your server may have problems ...).
Another link talking about the story, with screenshots from some discussions online:
http://www.neowin.net/news/psn-database-with-22-million-cred...
... This is related to the hacking of the PSN database, not being able to run homebrew software on the PS3. It's likely that whoever hacked the PSN accounts was encouraged to do so by Sony's heavy handed crackdown on geohot, but the two are not directly related.
Most takeaway orders happen at a different time of day from when most people are going home from work.

Unless the restaurant can use this system for a substantial proportion of their deliveries, it will be more hassle than it's worth.
This is almost -exactly- what I need. What would make it -killer- is a client app for my Xoom honeycomb tablet in addition to the chrome extension. If I could respond to texts received on my phone without having to put away my tablet, that would be amazing.
I definitely think these two cases are related, however I haven't seen any hard evidence yet. Have I missed something?
Doesn't sound real far off. You don't need a credit card to use PSN and I can absolutely believe a lot of parents not wanting to give their kid access to a credit card.
I'm Paul C. Jeffries, Head of Legal Operations at Facebook, where I work with the team that handles incoming notices of intellectual property infringement. I wanted to provide a little color about what happened in this situation.

As you may have heard, today we investigated a number of recent trademark (intellectual property) takedowns, and as a result of this investigation we restored four Facebook Pages. We apologize for any disruption to those who posted content.

Taking a step back, abuse of DMCA and other intellectual property notice procedures is a challenge for every major Internet service, and we take it seriously. In many cases, when we're put on notice we're obligated to take appropriate action. We have invested significant resources into creating a dedicated team (including me) that uses specialized tools, systems, and technology to review and properly handle these intellectual property notices. This system evaluates a number of factors when deciding how to respond -- and in many cases, we require the reporter to provide additional information before we can take action.

As a result of these efforts, the vast majority of intellectual property notices that we receive are handled without incident. Of course, no system is perfect and we're always striving to improve our practices. Rest assured that the dedicated team who handle incoming complaints from rights holders are equally devoted to protecting the interests of people expressing themselves on Facebook. As part of our ongoing efforts to improve, we will be considering the results of our investigation into this matter as we continue to refine our systems and procedures.
ledgerx.com is tightly regulated (all trades reported to CFTC) and physically settled with (in my opinion) very good security practices, but it's only available to US residents. Their longest expiry dates are December 2022, so about 2 years out. I haven't seen anything longer, unfortunately. Since it's physical delivery, when you sell an option, the exchange "locks" the coins or USD that would be required if it were to get exercised until the position is closed (either by expiring worthless, getting assigned, or if you trade out of it), so the counterparty risk is against the exchange only. They're aware that it makes people uncomfortable to lock up coins for a long time, so they work with BitGo to actually handle the coin custody, in separate accounts per customer. It's all reasonable enough to me that I feel comfortable sending them a decent amount of money.

Deribit is a larger derivatives exchange by trading volume, and is open to the rest of the world (explicitly not the US), but isn't physically settled so is more of a "side bet" and is riskier. That said, it's been operating successfully for a while now. I haven't used it because I'm not allowed to in the US.
Will we eventually arrive at a product spectrum, where customers can have the desired level of network integration for cel phone, camera, car, television, software, etc?

We use the same word for governance as we do for data: the state.

Having a hardcopy DVD, a dump player, and a dumb TV allows you to partake of the state you own without the State (or its BigTech owners) hassling you.

Much to be said for that.
My professor takes an excrutiatingly long time to edit files in class using keyb + mouse in IntelliJ. I am frequently waiting on him to finish up because of the vim plugin for IntelliJ. The speed of editing with vim, once you learn it, is shocking.
If you were on a fixed price supplier contract and facing the conditions you faced, I don't blame you one bit.
Mine is by far the best computer that I’ve ever owned. All the ports are there, the screen is great, it’s incredibly fast, and I love the trackpad/keyboard. I’ve had it for about a year and a half and it still makes me really happy every time I use it. Highly recommend.
If they were not user hostile it could be nice. For example if the device itself ran the streaming software, you could turn on your TV from that streaming service’s phone app.
Not directly but you can execute code dynamically. eg

Get-Foo | [ bar ] | source

would be the equivalent murex code.

PowerShell is definitely more sophisticated here because .bar is recognised as a method. Whereas in murex it's just a text field that you're asking the interpreter to execute as code.
What is that orb?

I don't think India PM cares of you not able to use github when it comes to what they think is national security.
Now I really wish there was a place you could comment on the Indian government's most incompetent decisions.

Legalization changes that because it makes it a lot easier to cultivate in the US, safely and legally.
Illegality encourages actions like smuggling from Central and South America, and guerrilla grows in National Forests. With decreased legal pressure, more savory elements of society produce high quality cannabis in the US.
So, even if that produce is sold on the black market its a better situation than violent gangs from Mexico smuggling bricks of marijuana with theI meth, cocaine and heroin.
I don't see fb going out of business anytime soon because their more lucrative market (middle-agers who actually have money, rather than their kids who don't) isn't going to be jumping ship. They're completely captive and the switching costs for people in their 30s-60s is so much more mentally taxing than for teens & young adults.
The bug tracker at https://code.google.com/p/android/ is for AOSP issues. Anything to do with a device specific issue should be reported to the OEM and not logged in that bug tracker.

The reason that this hadn't been closed before is probably the lack of resources to cope with the number of non-AOSP bugs reported in that tracker. The more critical issues will ripple up from OEMs to Google if necessary, and that is unlikely to happen via the community focused AOSP bug tracker you've linked to.
Because you wouldn't expect one to?
The link to the video of the lecture was in the first sentence of the letter. Apologies if this was unclear.
I use godaddy certs without issue. Make sure you included the bundle certs etc etc.
Maybe it doesn't have to be a permanent active structure. Have it inflate and deflate as needed.

Step 1: Start shooting iron bullets at escape velocity straight up.

Step 2: Something in orbit directs them back to earth.

Step 3: There will be incredible gas pressures around the bullets going to orbit, task that pressure to support a tube around the bullets going into space. This makes for less air resistance for the bullets lessening amount of energy needed for escape velocity.

Step 4: When tube reaches to top, send loads climbing up the tube.

Anything that could withstand such pressures would probably melt or be too heavy.
I agree with you that $1B seems optimistic for 2011, but consider also that the Mac App Store may increase the total number of apps sold, perhaps drastically. I certainly expect I'll buy more Mac apps when they're more easily discoverable, more easily managed, and one-click-purchaseable.
This article is mostly only relevant to people under 20.

In my opinion, the real generation gap begins close to the current age of 22. People 22 or younger very likely had the internet in Elementary schools, a computer before they entered middle school (probably with the internet), video systems with 3D accelerators, broadband before they got out of high school, and Wikipedia for the entirety of their college career, among other things.
Awesome. Now I can stop checking http://wastm2released.com/ every hour. Woohoo... thanks!
Also, it would be awesome if I could delete some of my scores. :\ My bogus win and early attempts are cluttering up the leaderboard.
Thanks, I have been off HN for the last week or so - and had no context.
Nice.

Friendly suggestion: Show a prominent summary at the top of the report of any areas of concern.
Is that all you're going to allow? I know I'm in the vast minority, but when sites only allow Facebook Connect, I don't use them. (still haven't made a Quora account).

Maybe a small link underneath "Use other identity providers..." for those of us who wont do it?
Some people at our office purchased lots of USB gimmicks, like Rocket Launchers, on expenses because they had to test whether all those USB devices work with XenClient.
People underestimate dehydration. The symptoms are extremely subtle. Combined with any other form of physical exhaustion, dehydration can trigger extreme responses in the body. The US military has had to deal with 20 year olds collapsing from what is sometimes called heat stroke, but heat stroke often has a large degree of dehydration attached to it.

If you get older and start developing the slightest bit of elevated glucose and/or glucose resistance (which can start years prior to developing diabetes) then even mild dehydration can lead to the body mishandling blood sugar levels.
I am in the process of implementing my proposal (JavaScript & nodejs). It will take a couple of days I guess. I'll keep the HN community posted.

We'll see who's crazy!!! :)
Actually no, Groxx and I both use 1Password at this time and sync it's database to dropbox.

I also have the daily backups turned on in case of database corruption. With dropbox and my backups I have the file in 4 locations at any one time (work laptop, personal laptop, home server, and backup disk)
Sure, but would it be larger than the "check for addons" endpoint, which is still PHP?

Scott Alexander is not a victim of sexual assault; he's the author of a blog that he would rather not have connected to his name. The norms about sexual assault victims in journalism are specific (and they're contentious! Google CJR for examples) and you can't generalize from them.
Then they need to provide additional information as to why they are considered a "covered entity" under HIPAA, because it is NOT obvious from their website why HIPPA would apply and the answer I was replying to appeared to be very mealy-mouthed based on the information given.

If they have additional information they'd like to share, I'd very much like to hear it.
Such a feature would be fantastic.

Vegan food producers are just big agriculture, so it actually isn't that unrealistic that some multinational soy or corn corporation is pushing this because they make more money from food additives than animal feed.
So the PRC now has a list of PRC nationals, based on their phone hardware IDs, who discussed "sensitive topics" (phrase used by PRC state media about Clubhouse) on the app? Yikes.
Abominable as it is, my views are not just based on the Bell Curve's race-IQ discussion.

* In Losing Ground, Murray talks about about how welfare should be restricted because Black people are having too many kids. His book had a great deal of influence on the "welfare reform" instituted in the mid-1990s in the US.

* In In Our Hands, Murray proposes replacing all government assistance with "an annual $10,000 cash grant to everyone age twenty-one or older". Not only is this eugenics because everyone, abled or not, with medical needs or not, must be able to survive on $10,000 a year; but note the absence of a UBI for kids: the proposal would punish poorer people--who are disproportionately Black for historical reasons rooted in racist institutions like slavery, redlining and the War on Drugs--for having too many kids.

All of this is pretty textbook social Darwinist white supremacism--all of these views are regularly espoused at Stormfront and other such places.

Charles Murray is quite clearly a white supremacist, and the race-IQ stuff is only a small part of the case for it.

Edit: I'm "posting too fast" so responding here: I didn't know about Nathan Cofnas so I googled him and he appears to be standard-issue IDW: writes for Quillette, defends bigots like Kathleen Stock, etc. Any blowback they got is well-deserved.

From https://quillette.com/2021/01/14/philosophers-smear-one-of-t...:

> Stock argues that, for example, it is okay for cis women to object to a lesbian with a penis—what in ye olden days of 2014 was known as a heterosexual man

This is of course a complete lie: trans people have been recognized and understood across many cultures for thousands of years, sometimes as a third gender but usually not as the gender they were assigned at birth. This is both ignorant and hateful. Cofnas deserves to be "cancelled", as does anyone else who writes for Quillette to be frank (for the same guilt-by-association reason, which remains just as valid for Quillette as it is for Murray).
The evergreen Internet website idea.
As usual for wild-eyed headlines like this, it's not quite what it sounds like. This is condensed-matter physics: These aren't "particles" in the usual sense, and they don't exist by themselves in free space. They are more like "particle analogs", which exist as excitations of some underlying matter.

These are "particles" in the same way that we talk about "holes" in semiconductors like they're particles. I.e. "sort of, and for all practical purposes within the relevant domain, but not exactly."
