Different poster, but I share the same hope. Most people won't put their life on the line for the revolution if their life is sufficiently comfy. Revolutions only happen when people have no other choice. When it's revolt or die, you revolt. When it's revolt or watch netflix, most people watch netflix.

We'll see if it's different this time, but I bet this time will end up like all the other times it has felt like "the end of civilized society". Society just keeps putting along.
The people who want to see Trump commit a coup and were disappointed that the sedition on the 6th failed to effect that were already calling for violence on the 20th. While they won't succeed in effecting the coup on the 20th either, there is a very real chance that violence will happen and people will die as a result.

Those people were already planning for violence before any of the deplatforming started. The only way you're going to deescalate the situation is either to give in to the terrorists and give them a Trump coup, or you're going to have to convince them that violence is not going to be tolerated and the underlying grievance is not worth it. The latter probably requires Trump (and only Trump can be the standard bearer at this point, and I'm not even sure he could pull this off) admitting that the election was not fraudulent and that he has been lying to his supporters, in addition to calling for legal punishments to those that committed violence in his name. If you haven't noticed, those were pretty much the exact opposite of what he chose to do in the brief time he had access to Twitter today.
Well you get to suppress any speech that is too disruptive to the status quo, which includes all of the horrific things the government does.
All I'm saying is that likely this time tomorrow Parler will be no longer available on the Apple App Store based on the contents of that post.
I used Vote By Mail myself and I also agree various studies and articles that say that fraud doesn't materially affect elections. But why shouldn't steps be taken to improve VBM transparency and voting transparency overall to restore confidence in the process regardless of method? "Works", "Works Transparently", "Works Verifiably" are all different degrees of transparency that imply different levels of confidence, right?
For some historical perspective, the last time the Capitol was stormed, British soldiers burned it to the ground. This was 200 years ago.

There have been multiple riots over multiple police-involved killings in multiple locations in the last decade.

So yes, what they did was far worse. They claimed to be defending the constitution while in fact they were using force to stop a constitutionally-mandated process: certifying the electoral vote. They were incited to do this by the President of the United States. None of this has ever happened before in America.

Over the summer, 8 men were arrested for plotting to kidnap the Governor of Michigan. There were multiple people with zip tie handcuffs in their possession in the Capitol. What do you think their aims were?

Open your eyes and see how truly insane Wednesday was, please.
you havent been hearing shit
Your 2nd point is critical, you can filter these images easily before even running them through the DNN. However researchers are also interested in why it is possible to spoof NN's in general. The typical response of 'overfitting' is being questioned.

Also the question is raised as to whether or not new methods of spoofing are possible that aren't so easily detectable.
Touchdown (for Android) http://www.nitrodesk.com/dk_touchdownFeatures.aspx keeps all of the Exchange Activesync'd data separate from the main email on the phone, so when you get wiped only corporate email/calendar get wiped. I don't think anything similar exists for iPhone.
That's the great part. You have the source code, just change the value of 'freq'!. The piezo should be able to hit high enough frequencies.
It would be completely ridiculous to try to remove political discussion from HN.

Politics is involved with _everything_ the world has to offer; and more specifically, politics is fundamentally bound to technology.

The fact that people like making 'cool stuff', will always have a flip-side. We need to be able to talk about the way that technology is utilised and that (necessarily) involves political discussion.

Without this kind of discussion, people involved in the tech industry are destined to become unthinking drones .. consideration of ethics and politics is essential if technology stands any chance of making the world a better place.
use a DNS roundrobin with low TTLs and use monitoring to remove IPs when they go down. if you have 3 hosts in your production app's roundrobin, that makes it much less likely that they'll hit the dead server and if the TTL is 300, then it's only a few minute window anyway.
Stream of conscious feedback:

The keyboard should not be required to move between exercises - the space bar would provide a better alternative.

Could you color coordinate the key color with a predefined finger color?

You should market this to schools with classroom subscriptions. This would provide a great, cross-platform alternative to Mavis Beacon which costs $20 per computer to install/update and cannot be used at home.
Reminds me of something Slavoj Zizek once said:

"The worst slave-owners were those who were kind to their slaves, and so prevented the horror of the system being realised by those who suffered from it, and understood by those who contemplated it."

It may be a reason why so many MBA fail at been an entrepreneur.

I suspect it's right there in the title: "Master of Business Administration". MBA's are master administrators for businesses, which is not the same thing as an entrepreneur.
I believe that is also possible with Android phones when you use the default Exchange connectivity app. I've ended up using a different program to connect to Exchange.
That's probably not media bias but a function of trial mechanics: the plaintiff gets to present their case first and that's where the first reports – and your first opinion – are drawn from.
> Companies can (and do) have the right to tell employees what they can and cannot do in their own time, especially if it has an effect on the company.

That should be made illegal IMO. A company should be forbidden to have any interest in employee outside of the strictly work related stuff.
If you want a conceptual framework to understand political correctness you need to understand Gramsci who wrote the rulebook for culture war back in the early 20th century. John Fonte explains the whole thing pretty well in this classic essay: http://www.hoover.org/research/why-there-culture-war
Many keyboards support varying pressure on a key to vary the sound, this is a common input.

This is true only of velocity and monophonic aftertouch. Polyphonic aftertouch is actually pretty rare. The only controllers I know which provide it today are the Native Instruments Maschine series. The only synth engines I know which support it are Serum and Animoog.

But it died out not just because of "buzzkill accountants" or whatever the article said, but also because very few people wanted it. And the idea that it's the secret sauce in Vangelis's Blade Runner soundtrack is just dipshit ridiculous.

This article is typical of Wired-- Junk technology writing. They haven't really been competent since the 1990s.

I can't totally agree. They've definitely gone downhill, but this was probably the stupidest thing I've ever read from Wired, so I can't call it typical.
> The only way to get a truly "fair" institution would be to seed it with a random subgraph of the entire worldwide population and hope that it could not only survive that heterogenity, but preserve it.

You have given in to the worst assumption about humanity, that we are hopelessly and irredeemably tribal. That we will only support our personal clan. And therefore the only way to achieve diversity is to start out diverse; everyone will remain despicably tribal in their loyalties, but at least power will have started out spread around.

I think that's a terrible perspective to take on humanity. Yes, we can be tribal. But progress has been incredible. For example, women have come from not being able to vote just a century ago, to being a large majority on college campuses. They did that because humans can appreciate higher principles of fairness and giving people a chance regardless of their personal attributes.

> [Diversity] needs to exist from the moment of creation, or else it never will.

This is so bleak, and so easily disproven (by lots of fields, including prestigious ones), that it makes me sad even to read it.

Eh, you don't really need habitation -- just a datacenter. It may be more cost-effective to design something specifically for this. At the minimum you're going to have to work out cooling and power anyway (hydroelectric and "just stick the heat sink in the ocean"?).
Because they have implemented their assessment-making process in code.
The only way I could understand such fixation to terminology is if you were a lawyer.

>> that said indians have a major cultural problem. they're way too nice, and they're also way too enduring, and they find other ways to vent that.

When I've dealt with teams in India (rather than Indian folk in western nations) I've had problems with this. It's not niceness, it's being non-confrontational. To excess. When you ask if they understand (so you could offer help or training on a technical question, for example) it's "yes, certainly". And then a week later you get the email saying no progress has been made because they don't understand something.

It's irritating.
That is part of what makes a bubble a bubble. Individual houses have been good investments for particular reasons; individual e-commerce plays or telecom companies made sense in the mid-90's. But when people start calling up their broker to buy the next Internet IPO, or trying to invest in "housing" as a category--or when parents tell their kids to get "A degree," it naturally selects for the worst version of those.

Here are a couple examples:

Thiel's program is more of a signal than anything. I dropped out of college five years ago, and people thought I was crazy. I had lunch a couple months ago with my high school classmates (from a regionally well-regarded prep school), and I'm pretty happy with how my career and prospects stack up.
I think we should consider the possibility that Bitcoin greatly incentivizes saving and disincentivizes consumption, a t least while prices are increasing as quickly as they are.
This is an amazing input for me, thank you very much! I used a canned policy, and may have totally mixed a couple of things up. Will review and change it :)

I can see how it's seen as a benefit, but the flipside is that you're teaching your developers Laravel, not PHP. They assume whatever they do, they do in a good way because it's Laravel that does it which is great, but it abstracts actual knowledge. It's like if a developer uses SQL exclusively through an ORM and DBAL, how much can they be expected to know about the workings of SQL performance, indexes, etc.

I also find it very interesting that there's no stigma associated with "Laravel developers" that focus exclusively on that framework and its syntax and way of doing things and you have "WordPress developers" who do the exact same but are seen as incompetent.

I understand though that there are scenarios in which what you want is a guy that knows a framework really well, but if we're talking about skills of a developer, I'll pick the guy that knows vanilla PHP over a framework specialist 80% of the time
I think that something inherent but generally unacknowledged is how Socialism and Anti capitalist ideologies rob creativity of any and all usefulness. Exploring ideas for the sake of solving real world problems, making people's lives better, is a wonderful and incomparable thing.

The replies you have gotten so far have been US orientated and vastly overestimate salaries here in the UK. Especially the UK outside of London.

Assuming you are in Cardiff, possibly Newport, a starting salary for a graduate is around £21,000 - £25,000. With your experience however I'd expect that £25,000 - £35,000 isn't impossible if the company wants a strong Angular dev.

My advice is that you should move to the South East of England, if it's feasible, salaries are way higher than the rest of the country.
Of course. But that doesn't mean that we're not talking about two different things, even if they're related.

If you're talking about addition, and I'm talking about 2+2...
Most people will spend it on drugs, alcohol and gambling. I say give them some money for basic food and shelter and some more (plus training) to start their own business so they can learn to be self sufficient and not to depend on the government.

As the saying goes, give them a fish...
Some projects like Git itself refuse to add editor droppings like ~ and # to .gitignore. They consider the .gitignore file to be only for things that the build system produces, e.g. *.o and binaries.

If you want to ignore things that your editor adds you should add it in .git/info/excludes, not .gitignore.
Philosophy (the one I go by, at least) isn't some floating castle in the sky that has nothing to do with practical problems on earth. Put another way: the true in theory is the successful in practice.
For me, Firefox Sync and Zotero are the two must-haves that Chrome doesn't match at all. Firefox Sync goes so far beyond any other sync tool I've ever seen, it's incredible. Likewise, Zotero's browser-level integration is immensely helpful in research. There are, of course, other reasons why I like Firefox, but those two are what render Firefox essential.
The UK has quite the shortage of council/social housing so someone who is homeless tomorrow would struggle if it were not for "crisis" loans and housing benefit. Housing benefit pays the median market rate for a property in your area for you if your income is low enough. If your rent is cheaper, you can even keep a small amount of the overpayment.
I do that quite often, but never alone (I'd creep out while while staying in a tent at night alone with idea, that there might be bears nearby, even if it sounds funny). And it cannot be done frequently enough, over months... four or five days are already enough.
The cost would be partly offset by dismantling much of the welfare apparatus (Edit: as semanticist already pointed out here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1926049). It wouldn't even be too surprising if the measure largely paid for itself in this manner, especially if you consider side-effects like health care and prisons. It would be interesting to see some reasonably objective numbers on this.
Let's see: There's 44,000,000 Americans living below the poverty line. Times 20,000 a year (ignoring administrative expenses) is 880,000,000,000 (880 billion) yearly. I'm not sure where we could take this out of the budget.
I'm sure most people hit the maps from a search, not just to drag the map around...

I know people who spend hours dragging the map around in Google Earth. And while I'm sure that a lot of people are going to the terrain maps via a search, there's most certainly another large chunk of people on there just dragging the maps around (I do it myself in a number of mashups/web apps that I visit regularly).

Given the post's examples, I think the critique is more than warranted, and I also think you're underestimating the benefit of prioritizing the labels.

Consider this: if paper maps disappear (along with the newspapers), shouldn't there be something marking the seas, mountains, and deserts?
We didn't go from zero to the moon's surface in 60 days. My point was that this isn't a numbers game; more engineers doesn't mean things will get done faster. Really, two months is not a long time at all considering what they are trying to accomplish. They don't really have the luxury anymore to be able to constantly experiment and iterate.
Having just come out of this movie a few hours ago, I feel confident in saying that this is the most completely stupid, half-ass analysis Toy Story 3 you're likely to read.

While you could reasonable make some political and economic analogies about the conditions at Sunnydale, Andy's toys relationship to Andy isn't a feudal master slave relationship, it's a family relationship. The most WTF part is claiming that Bonnies house is a "mixed economy". It's not. It's another family. A new version of what the toys had years ago with Andy.
The difference really just lies in whether you think that a prediction of an outcome somehow is an endorsement of that outcome.

I think the Patriots are going to win the Superbowl, but frankly I don't care if they do or not.

The entire context of the Krugman article was the administration's insistence that the tax cuts were stimulative and were bringing the economy back. He rightly predicted that in an effort to aid that narrative (since Greenspan had given them political cover), the Fed would keep rates low for longer than was healthy. He also rightly predicted that these actions would lead to a housing bubble.

It's a huge leap to go from reading these predictions to assuming that Krugman supported that outcome. He talks specifically about how this isn't a normal inflation-driven recession that can be fixed with Fed action, which just gives greater evidence to his lack of support for a housing bubble.

Add to that, other contemporary articles where Krugman loudly warns of an impending housing bubble / burst, and it's clear what he thought of Greenspan's actions. From Aug. 2005[1], an article that drew a loud critique:

Meanwhile, the U.S. economy has become deeply dependent
on the housing bubble. The economic recovery since 2001 has
been disappointing in many ways, but it wouldn't have
happened at all without soaring spending on residential
construction, plus a surge in consumer spending largely based
on mortgage refinancing. Did I mention that the personal
savings rate has fallen to zero?

Now we're starting to hear a hissing sound, as the air begins to
leak out of the bubble. And everyone - not just those who own
Zoned real estate - should be worried.

You don't need a reputation engine, just some critical eye and enough context.

Disclaimer: I'm the lead designer of Nim.

pcwalton's remark is excellent but "automated proof technology" is not a well defined term. What I mean by this is that it goes beyond what a traditional type checker can do. I don't think Rust can do exactly the same things via its borrow checking and its iterators, but I might be wrong. Note that the very same analysis also proves your index bounds are correct.

Nim's disjoint checker is so experimental that its docs are indeed very terse and we only have a couple of test cases for now. That said, the disjoint checking is restricted to the 'parallel' statement, so its complexity only affects this language construct and not the whole language. You can think of it as a macro that does additional checking.
Google's ads are so pervasive that they make money for just about every minute you use the internet. If your computer is infested with viruses you might turn it off and go outside, therefore it's in Google's best interests to invest in general computer security.
I'm guessing that if the balloon was often scraping ground, and they let gas out, it would be even worse. But the article could have clarified this, and at least spent a little more time on this pivotal moment of the narrative.
Subscribed, though I was thinking of it rather more generically: how hard would it be to have some service that magically puts images in the correct place, and have rocket look there? The idea of rocket having a bittorrent client on board rather scares me :)
That's not exactly what she's saying. She's basically advocating for 'non-making' roles in society, and contending that society undervalues 'non-making' roles as a result of undervaluing women's roles in society, since they traditionally occupied 'non-making' roles.

Note these paragraphs in particular:

"The cultural primacy of making, especially in tech culture—that it is intrinsically superior to not-making, to repair, analysis, and especially caregiving—is informed by the gendered history of who made things, and in particular, who made things that were shared with the world, not merely for hearth and home."

"A quote often attributed to Gloria Steinem says: “We’ve begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.” Maker culture, with its goal to get everyone access to the traditionally male domain of making, has focused on the first. But its success means that it further devalues the traditionally female domain of caregiving, by continuing to enforce the idea that only making things is valuable. Rather, I want to see us recognize the work of the educators, those that analyze and characterize and critique, everyone who fixes things, all the other people who do valuable work with and for others—above all, the caregivers—whose work isn’t about something you can put in a box and sell."

Which I think is a pretty reasonable argument.
The cost is very different if you are developing your own apps, or you are the 'brains' and need someone else to develop the apps for you.

I think this is what the article is trying to say, that a return for someone like that may not be there yet, but this always depends on the idea.
