Sorry, but "just cut our losses" isn't acceptable to me when people are being murdered. This is the Nazi murder of Jews/etc of our time and it's everyone's obligation to handle it better.

Bush caused most of this current ISIS problem by lying about WMDs. At that point, we're the bad guys invading on a lie. It made us afraid of and hostile towards the Iraqis which caused the Abu Ghraib treatment, etc. He didn't make the terrorists but he provided them with their recruiting propaganda, made an ideal nest, and let them crawl in. It sucks, but we've got an uphill slog because we elected someone who was fine with murdering people on a lie.

After eight years in mining I made the jump to coding. However, my coding quickly changed to infosec. So definitely miners can make this jump. This is highly biased, but I would say that many blue collar workers bring a very different work ethic as compared to other workers in the software industry. Miners especially have a comradery that I have not heard of in other industries. In addition to this 80+ hour work weeks were definitely the norm in many mining industries. This type of work ethic has somewhat set me apart from many of my peers.
As Chris Rock put it some years back, the commercials are getting more and more ridiculous each year. To quote:

"So I was listening to this one where it goes... Do you go to bed in the evening and wake up in the morning? And I went Oh my god! I totally got that! I should go see a doctor!"

Really couldn't have said it better myself.

You can have component local state in the Elm architecture. If you work through the Elm architecture tutorial (https://github.com/evancz/elm-architecture-tutorial/), section 6 describes how to do it. You can also have both local and global state if you want. Just follow the tutorial and in your "model" type add a record called "global". Than let each component take and return both the local and the global model. I personally use global actions instead of a global model. In this approach each update function for a component returns a new model and a global action. Each component has a "updateGlobal" function which is than called with all the actions returned by the update functions of all the components. This way, components can talk to each other, but may keep completely different models. Here is the relevant code in my main elm file: https://gist.github.com/brodo/6495e486648d235e10a5

This allows you to react differently to actions in each component if you want. You can check out the whole project here: https://github.com/brodo/MushroomCup/tree/master/elm
Ford CEO predicts fully autonomous cars by 2019
Venture backed delivery businesses have jumped the shark. EUR 2.99 for a delivery? For city-wide point to point? Within an hour?

Pizza delivery companies have been doing this for decades, but they've been surviving off of a product that has >$20 sales prices and >90% margins pre-delivery, paying below-subsistence wages, aggregating deliveries due to meal time peak behavior, consolidating pickup areas to single restaurant locations, and constraining delivery areas to something more akin to a neighborhood than an entire city.

Amazon has tried for years to get low margin grocery delivery to work with sophisticated state of the art logistics software and the cash flow muscle of Amazon to push for market penetration and subsequent delivery density, and the only strategy that worked for them was raising prices. There is no way this business goes anywhere without changing their pricing model or the laws of physics.
Thanks a lot for your long answer. Really good points!

I like the idea, but a little over perscriptive :p

"Developers must use vim (with as many plugins as possible) - no other IDE's should be allowed (a developer's finger muscle memory is critical to fast-paced coding – point-and-click is simply wrong and not optimal for productivity). Atom may be used, however plugins are necessity."

Interesting story. How did you find the transition from an active work style to a static/sitting one?

I always say that programmers have it as hard as miners, but it's a different kind of challenge. One is more physical, another mental (not going insane from sitting in front of computer all the time).

> What is known about her life is that she grew up in Annapolis, on the coast of Maryland, in a house on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Her father was an engineer and her mother a teacher. It was on the north-eastern seaboard that she developed a passion for water sports, especially sailing and later windsurfing. She helped to organise the first windsurfing world championship in 1974 and two years later won the women's national double-handed dinghy championship.

> Her love of the sea influenced her choice of college education after she studied mechanical engineering at the University of Vermont. She moved to MIT to study naval architecture before a brief spell working for an oil consultancy based in San Francisco. She left that job relatively quickly to go to Hawaii to design windsurfing equipment, but returned to the US a few years later to study computer science at Berkeley. She worked for a succession of Silicon Valley stalwarts: Sybase, Silicon Graphics and Tandem. But her first big break came with the founding of her own media streaming business, VXtreme, in the early days of the dotcom boom. It was sold for a rumoured $75m in 1997.

Thanks, that's helpful. It still strikes me as presumptuous to "grant" a patent license to non-patentable and un-patented material, but I suppose it makes sense from a cover-your-ass point of view.
Hi everyone, I'm a contributor to LawPatch. We started this project because we wanted legal positions that we could call like functions (as if we were coding).

Our aim is to make legal language simple without introducing ambiguity or extra risk.

We think even the most technical legal agreements could look like term sheets using this drafting method. A spectrum of standardised positions also stops lawyers from constantly replicating work.

This is is an open source project by lawyers who are also developers - we'd love to hear from anyone who's got ideas for improvements or would like to contribute language for other areas.

We have patches drafted for the United States, UK and Australia. Happy to hear from people in other countries too! Creating this extra level of abstraction is also an opportunity to standardize documents across jurisdictions.
Thanks for reading really appreciate it. Yes Google sends a notification via email via Google search console ( formerly known as Google Webmaster Tools) a lot of times when a site gets hacked. A lot of times they catch it long before the webmaster does most of the time it is a shared hosting with an absentee admin or webmaster.

I know a lot of people in this crowd probably run across these situations all the time but a lot of people don't realize why exactly their sites got hacked and what the purpose is. Thank you so much again for reading and checking this out.
I feel like your comment and the article in question are completely anecdotal. Sure, a subset of miners can learn to code. You can't argue against that. But, that really means absolutely nothing to the big picture.

The real question is, what percentage of the entire out-of-work blue collar worker population can make the jump? I would agree with Bloomberg, it's probably fairly low.

But, I might not be fully recognizing the software engineering jobs from huge companies that are vastly less demanding than your typical SV "rock star developer" job. Maybe there is enough of a market there...
An easy area of improvement is documentation, samples etc. They are seriously lagging behind AWS and Azure. Becomes hard to choose Google because the cost of learning is higher.

This is the end goal. Congress is pushing to destroy USPS so they can claim it failed and justify selling it's profitable services off to a private company who will then raise prices by a factor of 10.

Congress literally decided to tell USPS owed $125B one day [1], knowing full-and-well that it would take USPS like 60 years to pay that much money. Figuring that the population will grow tired of USPS running a billion dollar (artificial) deficit for decades.

Where would I have to ask to get legally binding information on the specific patents for this bot?

I am definitely not going to use its source (due to licensing issues with Facebook already), but if there is even a tiny chance that the idea is patented, I won’t touch it either.
My 2 cents: Work hard and play hard.

I run a company, but after work a few nights a week I will code for fun, or go out with friends to eat/drink/chat.

I think if in the future you want to "create a hugely valuable and profitable startup" then being a better programmer will certainly help, but the interpersonal skills will also be huge.

Leading a team, steering direction without conflict, managing conflicting interests - you learn these skills in life, not on a keyboard.

PS - why not start a hobby project that encourages you to socialize - an app that reminds you to connect with your friends & suggests common activities :)
Does the difference between someone thinking that I'm wrong 100% of the time vs. being wrong at one particular incident make it better? Certainly. It's still rude and childish, but I'd certainly rather have a singular incident stomped on than my entire character tarnished.
In this thread I see a few comments assuming that polite VS blatantly rude are the only options. If for "polite" we mean, accepting bad contributions, ideas, code, yep that's a problem, but to refuse contribs that don't match the idea of the person in charge of a project does not need to be as bad as we see in certain cases. It is possible to say negative things about ideas or code in a decent way and very firmly at the same time, without attaching persons, and without creating an environment where new ideas are limited since, well, you are going to be insulted if your idea is less than excellent. A couple examples:

Behavior A: This code is a good example about how you should never write code, it's going to explode in the hand of users, it's going to make our project a piece of crap. Please don't do that, how many times I've to repeat that... you are a long time contrib, it is unacceptable you send me such a crap of stupid patch.

Behavior B: Sorry, I think the patch is not good because it does not test correctly for <some-technical-reason-here>. Without this check the code works today but may fail tomorrow. Because our project needs an high level of stability, we can't merge such a contribution. Please could you review it or perhaps even rewrite it in a way that's going to be very stable? Thanks.

I think both A and B send the same message, but with "A" the problem is that the contributor may never return back or may be offended. Life is already tough, there is no need to be offended randomly because you are trying to give code for free.

> It has never happened in the history of the Internet that one top domain organization has undelegated domains under another top domain

I also haven't heard of such thing. I have heard of few others, though.

US had seized a few .com domains, and I doubt they cared about citizenship of registrar.
Russian government had requested un-delegation of few .ru ones, and blocking any access (ISP-level) to many others across the world.
Australian .oz ccTLD was moved to .oz.au.
Yugoslavian .yu ccTLD is gone and doesn't exist anymore. It was once feared that .su would also begone, but it had survived for some weird reason, although - who knows - for how long?

I think a few email accounts I had registered in early '00s are long gone, some with the very email providers. But I still have my old private key I've created a decade ago. That's what I know about the credentials. YMMV, of course, and - sure - I know a few peers who had lost their keys.

> I may assert that I am Barrack Obama

Sure, and while I suppose it's not your name, I bet there is not a single Mr. Obama in this world. Zooko's triange is fine, identity system doesn't need unique names - a natural one doesn't have those anyway. We don't require worldwide login (username) uniqueness, right?

If for some reason we want to know it's real US President Obama who wrote a message or signed up on a site, we need an assertion on his identity from US Govt, don't see any issues with this. And, duh, I bet he has a few tamper-resistant tokens that hold some signed keys, to sign his mail and whatever. I would be very surprised if he doesn't.
They haven't even bothered to try. 3" more legroom for $40? No. Human-sized seat? I'd pay double the price. But I'm not going to pay 5x as much.

Stick to the facts. Be respectful.

What else is there?
Don't trust them. Add a system you control between the device and your internal network. If you're just worried about your traffic privacy and not just internal resources, establish an end-to-end encrypted tunnel from that jump system to a network or VPN provider you trust.

Edit: excuse me, I misread your question. I thought you were asking for best practice. I don't have have a specific hardware recommendation (because I don't trust them :) )
Because otherwise the category would be too broad to be interesting. You and I just made comments but they're obviously not 'Show HN'. It has to be something people can try that has (figurative) moving parts.

Blech. I know what they're getting at but programmer in jokes? Really? I don't think that's what we need more of.
Your solution redefines the word "local" to mean "global." Yes, you can store a component's intrinsically local state as field in your global model and then use a specialized update function that is reached by a switch from your global update function. The question we are addressing is: Is that a good idea?
It's not a huge deal. But when I'm packing at the last minute, the last thing I have time to do is sort through my music library to load more stuff onto my phone.

Frankly, I kind of stopped maintaining my MP3 collection the better part of a decade ago. I have lots of stored music, sure, but it's non-trivial to maintain a music library on top of everything else in life. I use Spotify because it's convenient. But yes, they have offline mode if I remember to pre-download everything.
I dunno, I've found aws documentation to be atrocious. For example, I've had a very hard time figuring out how to do things like reattaching ebs volumes to ec2 spot instances. Maybe it's because I don't use aws much, but I get frustrated and have a hard time understanding how simple tasks need to be so complex.

I wonder how effective the Microsoft style API lockin strategy will be for aws. My personal guess is very effective.
There are people out there who will take your politeness and use it against you like a weapon. Telemarketers, for one. The only way to get off the phone is to interrupt them and unilaterally end the conversation.

Fake monks are another good example. They ask you a question, like "what do you want most in the world," which you answer just to be polite. They then write your answer on a token, and give it to you. You feel obligated to accept it because they made it just for you. Then, they ask for a donation in return for the gift you just accepted. Again you feel obligated, this time because you accepted their gift.

The entire thing depends on your polite response to each of their actions. Unless you know where they're going with this, it's impossible to politely escape. By the time I was handing over the money, I knew it was a scam and I still gave them $10 because I felt stupid.

While I have never personally had cause to be impolite during my professional work, sometimes politeness is an improper response.
