> Since when does international trade regulations involve plain altruism and sacrificing your own?

International trade is not based on plain altruism. On both sides of the trade, some people benefit and some lose, but the net gains at both sides are positive. The article focuses on those hurt in US, but it does not mention how the US capitalists, consumers and workers not competing with China benefit.

> what is preventing the Chinese government to put heavy tariffs on those exports?

Chinese governments not only do not place tariffs on their exports, but also subsidies the exports. That is, the goods exported from China is cheaper than those sold directly in China. They do it for their own self interests.
I'm puzzled. As a developer the sites I work on are (mostly) going to be hosted on my local machine. I usually don't bother with all the effort to set up SSL certificates for my development web server unless I've got an SSL-specific issue to investigate. Is this feature disabled for sites that are local? If not I'd expect I would just come to ignore it quite quickly. Then when I then look at the production version of a site I'm more likely to continue to ignore it as I've been conditioned into assuming it's a false indicator.

At the same time, for normal web users I can see how such a warning could be helpful. But it seems normal editions of Firefox won't have this enabled by default.

Or are my development practices unusual in some way?
I have no doubt the people at Github have spent a lot of time thinking about multi-region failover. You never hear about the successful failovers --- only the ones which cause outages. To quote a famous US politician: "There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know."

You can't failover things you didn't predict.
It shouldn't really have much effect. One of git's major selling points is that it's a DVCS, meaning that everyone has a local copy of the repository. Perhaps some collaboration features will be down for a couple of hours (which I think is a downside to GitHub's decision not to put issues/PR history inside of git), but everyone should still be able to do work, commit to the repo, review history, and so forth. If you have people who do code, they can probably find something to work on for two hours without having the Issues/PR interface, right?

And which investor, when put before the choice of supplying capital to a C-corp or a B-corp, will willingly choose the entity that admits having his ROI as a lower priority than the other, all other things being equal ?

By this logic, we could see B-corps in niches where capital is not a strategic advantage. The search for these niches is left as an exercise for the reader.
New York Fed's Site Provides Data on the Job Market for Recent College Graduates
Actually not surprising that GS would let a VP and an associate run this deal. $580MM is small potatoes for Goldman, and it was 99 so they were up to their eyeballs in deals. There was probably a senior banker committee overseeing the deal but they really just rubber stamp stuff and never look at the details. The details in this case were what crushed James Baker's take. Note that a good/experienced banker would advise the client to put in a collar in an all stock deal.
Throughout its life, CoffeeScript has been by disparaged by those who just seem to really hate it's existence for some reason. At first it was "you can't debug generated code!", now that everybody is using generated code it's "coffeescript is the past, you don't want to live in the past do you?"

Except... CoffeeScript does all sorts of nice things that Babel does not. List comprehensions. Lack of == operator. Correct modulo operator. Block regexes. Triple-quoted strings. The @ syntax.

There is a strong cult-like vibe to the JS community, and I really find it off-putting. They have taken a technical limitation "Browsers only support JS" and turned it into a socially enforced rule "You may only use JS". Fuck 'em.

My experience matches exactly what Github says. Power outages can bring down even the best systems. The problem is that it is never clear what parts of the systems will continue to work in these situations, until it actually happens. Especially when you're talking about complex applications that depend on many moving pieces. The point is, the more complex your online app, the more points of failure can be exposed in these situations.
You answered your own question. If a site works this way it is risking the privacy of user data on itself, but at least it isn't endangering the credentials which may be useable to attack other sites.

Maybe they do.

But this two hour failure tells me that they have never really tried a hot failover and failback scenario in order to test the resiliency of their site.
Me too. Slashdot's comment system was a bit more advanced. Slashdot's downwind came from Digg, Reddit and HN. Though the insightful comments switched directly from Slashdot to HN. And HN is changing too, less startup news, bubble fears, more general public audience, more corporate spam (and voting rings, sock puppets) - though it's still a very great community and I hope it remains like that for several more years. A tech news site is great because of the comments and the news selection - and the HN algorithms work usually great.

Well done. I've been thinking about using Nim for my next project. This does a good job showing how to use various Nim features such as templates and channels, plus how to use existing tools such as valgrind with the result. Nothing earth-shattering, but lots of nice knowledge nuggets in there.

The poem written; tell what we are as scribblers.
I am not at all surprised. There are 'best practices' and then there is what really happens based on business processes and needs. In reality, even the most cloudy of cloud providers will run into this problem at some point. Folks often come up with ideas of implementing something like Chaos Monkey in their data-center, then realize the actual impact it will have and find it is almost impossible to get the rest of the business to agree to this concept. It isn't as easy at it sounds. I only know of two businesses that have actually implemented Chaos Monkey; one being the company that coined the term. Even regular reboots won't catch these problems and if folks were honest, you would see +1 year up-times on most servers in most places. That is just based on my experiences and I am sure some of you have seen different.
100%. Many boards think that by getting Goldman or Morgan you're covering your ass. They don't realize that unless you're atleast $1BN in size they really are not incentivized to do a thorough job. Why? Because M&A deals are priced off a % fee grid (50bps to ~2% depending on the deal). 2% on 580 doesn't shift the dial for Goldman.
This may sound rather vindictive, but I have personal reasons for this statement... and that is I hope I can live long enough to see the smoldering corpse of Goldman Sachs being buried in a grave covered with a thick layer of cement. They are a corrupt organisation.

Hadn't seen those libraries before, thanks for the links.

I have to say, Quil is the least Clojurey library I have ever used, and I find it very, very primitive. There's definitely a huge gap for a project built with idiomatic Clojure bindings that can handle both nice graphical stuff but also stodgy charts, with basic stuff like annotation layouts etc. I think something that could work really well if anybody finds the time is a port of G:

Absolutely; no one uses Office because they can "quickly pick up any of its applications". People use Office because they already "picked up" its applications. LibreOffice? Lemmee see here, I'm a bookkeeper/lab research assistant/factory supervisor that just wants to get my shit done and go home. There's this FOSS thing that mostly works but sometimes doesn't, or this Microsoft thing that I already know how to use and "works" perfectly (because it for sure can read its own format), and I don't give two poops about "Freedom!". I'm going to send a requisition to the boss for another Excel license.

For a lot of people, they don't want to learn alternatives ('cuz that's on my time, since they boss ain't training me), and the cost of the license isn't coming out of their pocket. Of course they use Office. That's not an unreasonable choice.
It would have been more accurate to say "virtually no" black women have led startups. Though I guess she gets a pass for saying "statistically". It would have also been nice if a comparison was done as to the race of other startup founders and... I don't know more than a single chart listing the companies and how much they raised each? This isn't a very good statistic to trumpet around if its going to be presented out of context like this.
Sourceforge doesn't host binary downloads themselves. Big free mirrors like HEAnet host the files.
They absolutely need to take blame for not atleast advising James Baker to put in a collar. All stock deals are hugely risky. A deal being run by a VP and associate is also a no no at most banks, and one would presume Goldman after this fiasco.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_Code_Control_System dates from 1972. The evolution appears to have been SCCS -> RCS -> CVS -> svn|hg|bzr|git (cambrian explosion) -> git (mass extinction).
Why the Calorie is Broken
SCCS was contemporary with early unix development, so certainly it's technically possible that there are revision histories going back that far. But I'd have to believe that the early commits in this repo are just release checkpoints. It looks like the most recent stuff (1994) dates from early proto-FreeBSD work.
> Well, if you took away Excel, the banking system would collapse.

Lovely comment, and so true. And you're right: for a POC it's unstoppable. I was trying to get to the nub of "why is it perfect for a POC, but not for running an enterprise application"? That's kind of my point, though I admit it was a bit clunkily-put.
For the 14 years during which I used excel daily, the first 4 items you listed didn't affect me and the last two never mattered. I used text-to-columns to very nicely parse pipe-delimited files. The leading zeros issue I bumped into several times and was a minor irritation to fix.
Fault simply means that the TLB has a cache miss and then traps to the OS to handle the miss. "Fault" is a concept of what is happening a "trap" is what happens.

Edit:

x86 does have a register for defining the location of page tables that it will walk, the it would trap on a miss if the PTE is missing. Idk, if Linux uses this register or not or uses a software defined TLB, or some kind of hybrid approach.
It depends on how generous BI is. And if we tied it to the revenues it is funded by this percentage would balance out.

Additionally, remember this amount is enough to live on with 6 roommates and eating beans and rice. It's by no means extravagant. Most people like having stuff. Especially more and better stuff than their neighbors.

The number of black women is 12, not 0. I don't understand what you wish to gain by egregiously twisting the numbers. Yes, it's a low percentage. No, it's not zero.
Without knowing anything about your product or market it's really hard to say, but my gut reaction is to be skeptical that the incremental improvement strategy would work out better.

Is there anything other than a "better" design that differentiates your product? Or, if not, can you acquire your customers differently, at a point where they aren't already habituated to doing things the bad old way?

Ultimately I would say your best bet is to get back to basics and spend a ton of time listening to customers and watching them use your product, and your competitors' products. You might have changed the wrong things about the design? Or maybe there's some other pain point they actually have, but no one even thinks it's possible to do things differently because they're so used to the status quo.

I would also be very mindful of incentives of various people, including both the users and the purchasers. Users in workplaces don't necessarily want something that is faster or more efficient to use (in a business setting they might have job secuirty, pay, andceven self-worth tied to knowing how to use a very complicated system). Buyers who aren't users very often buy based on specs more than design or ease of use (easier to rationally explain decision to higher ups). Consumers often buy/engage for how things make them feel, or for satisfying one of a few very basic desires (which they might not want to admit).

Not sure how applicable, or new, this is go you. These are just thoughts that come to mind.
Its a shitty database, and a shitty data entry solution, which is what it was used for in my last workplace. But people know how to use it and will use it for all sorts of things that its not particularly good for.
Have a local repos that mirrors the master one on GitHub periodically

The purpose of software isn't to be correct or even predictable. It's to satisfy the needs of the user. The user in this case, isn't you. It's corporate clients who make decisions for tens of thousands of employees. They have various needs, however esoteric and strange. I promise you that all of the behavior you cited was implemented at the request of a client.

Ideally Microsoft should craft custom versions for specific clients, but that is its own nightmare. They tried that with Windows and it didn't go too well.
>In addition, it is completely useless for handling any type of delimited file. By default it supports csv. If you want to view a pipe-delimited file, you have to dig into the language settings of Windows, change the default delimiter, and open the file. Then, you cannot edit comma-separated files without changing it back first. So, there's no way to convert one to the other. Same problem with tab delimiters.

Totally wrong, Excel has the ability to import using Data -> From Text that opens a wizard that will step you through opening any type of delimited file, formatting columns, header rows, etc.

>It's really cool to see the latest Windows Phones and watch them plug into a keyboard, mouse and monitor and bam you have the FULL version of Microsoft Office apps and a Windows 10 like desktop.

Cool maybe, but what would be the use case for this? If people think they'll need full Office on the go, chances are they'll take a laptop or Surface-like device with them. Right now they will need their Windows phone as well as a MS display dock, keyboard and mouse, and it will still all be useless unless they are able to find a monitor to plug into. Every workplace or airport lounge I've been to with a PC monitor has VGA/HDMI cables locked in place, and unremovable without a key or without cutting plastic ties.

> Aside: out of curiosity it would have been interesting to see how a Thompson NFA[1] would have dealt with this.

It wouldn't have dealt with it right? NFAs and DFAs are equivalent and them being actually regular means they can't do things like count parentheses.
The margin of error is too high to say what the true value is (or should be), but in no way does that imply that the true value should be ZERO. A small number does not automatically mean zero.

You could make up similar lies and say that "statistically, the amount of lead in your drinking water is zero", and have it be well less than 12 parts in 10,000, and it's still non-zero, and at neurologically toxic levels. Just because a number is small does not mean that we cannot accurately measure it, nor does it mean that the expected value is zero. Claiming that the expected value is zero when there are twelve in your (large) sample is a horrible misuse of statistics.
A Cable TV apologist:

> If anything, pay TV providers are losing ground rather than strengthening their control over the video stream. Hamstrung by rising prices for content from mega-producers including Disney, CBS and Fox, as well as complicated FCC rules imposed on the pay TV providers that the innovators don’t have to follow, pay TV subscriptions have plummeted by the millions in the last few years as cord-cutting becomes both better and cheaper.

Fact check:

1. High-speed Internet is still provided exclusively in many cases by the poor Pay TV providers

2. Protecting a cable TV's business model is not the FCC responsibility.

3. Cable rates keep going up faster than inflation.

> Philosophy might be able to do that too, but the west doesn't seem to be aligning behind any one philosophy.

The West was never united behind one religious moral framework even when it had, at the highest descriptive level, one dominant religion -- both racial/sexual equality (as cited above) and strong racial/sexual discrimination were justified by reference to Christianity; likewise both religious tolerance and religious persecution have been.

"People don't agree on one moral framework" is an issue, sure, but its not a new issue in the West, nor is it one in anyway linked to the decline in the dominance of Christianity.

> And there are no credible purely philosophical moral frameworks to pick from.

There are plenty of moral frameworks not grounded in religion to pick from (everyone, inevitably, has a moral framework, and lots of people don't have religions.)

Not sure what your criteria for "credible" is, or how you've determined that no existing non-religious moral framework satisfies it.
The worst startups have raised no money at all, so that means the best startups led by black women have also raised no money at all.

Even the typhoon kick the ass of the F35

http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/russias-su-35-figh...
Air Force F-16s are not currently fitted with an AESA and are at a severe disadvantage versus the Su-35 or other advanced Flanker derivatives.

Modern F16 inferior to Mig29 ? Very likely. I don't have the time to search for the article about it, but it is a fact acknowledged by benchmarks that US air planes have been slowly gaining mass and loosing maneuverability since decades and they re-evaluated the F16 performance recently. Even F16 vs "old F16".

Anyway. Mig29 Su30 are pretty cheap compared to US air planes and roughly close in terms of performance. Maybe a 1v1 scenario favors F16. But in $v$ you can align more Su/Mig per F16. And surviving a 1v1 situation is easier than 3v1.
Zika: Here’s what we know about the virus alarming health experts worldwide
Agreed, and that's not even limited to tech. I'm in the commercial real estate world, which practically revolves around apprenticeships, and the system works amazingly well. It also rewards competence over credentials, commitment to improvement over connections.

Trying to make the world better (with initial guidance) and solving real life problems is the best teacher of all.

College training for me, or for all the apprentices I've had over the years, was of minimal importance beyond learning the discipline of a rigorous approach. I could have started after sophomore year, and arguably done better (without having to have spent 2 more years at school, and 2 more years at a tech startup as an employee, and with 1/2 the student debt and bad cafeteria food).
