Chelation: I've heard it is expensive and has serious side effects. How do the people who are affected by the lead, given there are so many, get well?
Fee-only advisors still charge fees for assets under management. It's just that they don't get paid commissions for selling you products. What it seems you're looking for is to pay hourly fees only.

South Vietnamese ex-pats are not an especially unbiased source. (Consider the Cuban ex pat population, which again tends to be descended from people who backed the anti Castro forces. Not saying Cuba or Vietnam are perfect, but the people who flee a regime aren't the best people to assess it. Our strategy in Iraq was informed by information from Iraqi ex pats.) North, South, and Central Vietnam are traditionally distinct regions, yes, but the war wasn't between the north and south, it's just that the south started out occupied.
I don't think this is true at all. If you consider "investment advice" to be as simple as "here is what your target allocation should be based on your risk tolerance, so let me just call up the trading desk and have them execute the orders to get you there", then sure.

When you pay for "investment advice" at the $50 million net worth price tier, you're paying for access to private equity deals, real estate investment opportunities, a tax advisor who can tell you how to be structure a deal abroad, etc. It's not as simple as plugging in your salary and age into a webpage and having a robot buy and sell stocks for you.
It's what zwily said. Among the majority population, lobbying is seen as what businesses do to get laws written that are favorable to their interests, including tax breaks, energy subsidies, etc. In concept people understand that when a congressperson needs to learn about something in order to make a decision, he or she should be talking to experts. In practice (the perception is) those experts tend to try to persuade more than educate. So, in the example of the drones flying for example, the lawmakers may be learning of all of the good outcomes of easing FAA regs and letting Amazon fly drones, and may even distinguish between large companies (or another grouping in which Amazon falls) and a grouping that their competitors may fall into (say, smaller companies) in a way that becomes a barrier to entry for the competitors. This will obviously be seen as reasonable in some sense, but there may have been a better way to do things that didn't raise the barrier for competition. Amazon lobbyists are unlikely to help the congressperson understand that other way.

At least, that's how some perceive it.
Looks like I use so few features of RTM that I can use Google Keep. I know, however, right after I start using it that Google will kill the project. My Tracks, my favorite Android app, is going away on 4/30/16. Maybe I should just pay the $40/yr. <frustrated>
The Vietnamese certainly deserved independence from colonialism but it's hard to argue that the "right" side won when you consider how badly the current ruling regime mismanages and exploits the country.

Without an independent press corruption runs rampant and people are still routinely jailed for exposing the kleptocracy at the top. Ordinary Vietnamese aren't starving but it's still the case that most people with the means to emigrate will do so at the drop of a pin.

There’s nothing in particular that I want to build that I can’t already hack together using basic OSS or otherwise freely available tools.

I think that shows she does know "How to Code" enough to solve the problems she faces, but isn't interesting in going beyond that; and I agree, that is a perfectly fine and already far better position than what many others are in. IMHO society doesn't need more professional programmers (who are just going to build more things we probably don't need); it needs more people who know enough about how computers work to be able to control them better and make them do what they want.

Lobbying by large corporations is bad, period. This is not just "speech", this is a wheel of bribery and legislation-writing. It is replacing any hope of democracy with corporate rule.

I read this several years ago, and it has ever since resonated with me...

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said:

“Man.
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

I'm extremely skeptical that this article is propaganda.

What evidence do you have for that?
"Coding" has nothing to do with network security or the intricacies of programming languages or using computers. At its core it is simply a extension of logic operations (if...else, loops, recursion, etc.) with variable manipulation (moving data around). It SHOULD be a fundamentally taught disciple, NOT because people need to code but because most people should have enough recognition in their lives to understand when something could or could not be managed programmatically.

Learning math in school is not something most people use everyday, that is true. And most people forget all of the formulas they memorize. BUT, if I am trying to figure out which peanut butter is cheaper per ounce I can do some simple math to figure it out. If I am trying to figure out the height of a tree I remember "oh there is some geometry formula for this" and can go look it up. What we need in the modern era is more people to have that base level of knowledge so they can say "rather than doing this spreadsheet every month, can't we just hire a programmer to automate it?" because right now a ton of repetitive crap work is being done simply because no one knows any better.

Well, ex ante, a minimum wage increase might be opposed. Ex post, the minimum wage becomes the default reservation wage for the entire jurisdiction, and as such the industrialists will have to accept it and adjust output, production, capital stock and labor capacity accordingly. From that point on, the minimum wage JG force would certainly be a benefit in offering an easily accessible venue for sellers of labor who will be compensated at a price no higher than what the law sets as the minimum floor to begin with.

Again, I don't see how the New Deal can be couched in such heroic terms. The principal influences for the New Deal were Foster and Catchings, who looked it at from the lens of economic output.
MapReduce is not functional programming
I feel stupid having to ask this question, but is a backup key literally just a different SSL certificate issued by the same or another CA for the same domain(s)? You keep it on standby in case your primary certificate is compromised? Do I use the same CSR and private key or do I generate new ones?

EDIT: Okay, the coffee is flowing and the gears are starting to turn. I guess if I'm going to pin my cert, I should generate a new private key for the backup, and if I'm going to pin the intermediate cert, I should use a different CA. And for maximum protection, do both, and not keep both private keys on the same servers. Does that make sense?

Unfortunately, it also hasn't been shown to be effective in repairing or preventing the effects of subacute toxicity, so even if the state were willing to pay for it, chelation wouldn't be a cure. An entire generation has been crippled in the name of a government's ledger sheet.
I'm not sure if this had been mitigated in the standard, but the pinning implementations I've seen used in Android apps rely on client-side (i.e. app) verification. It's an inconvenience, for sure, for someone trying to emulate the app (in order to connect to the server API). But it's not sufficient to stop a determined attacker with a bytecode decompiler.

For instance: http://randywestergren.com/reverse-engineering-the-subway-an...

EDIT: Just to clarify given the comment below (and downvotes...), I'm talking about a different attack scenario. Here's a decent source on some of pinning's weaknesses for your standard MITM scenario: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Certificate_and_Public_Key_P...

You'll see pretty much the same numbers at top American engineering universities. Most of the race/gender disparities we see in tech companies are a direct result of the same disparities seen in tech universities. The problem starts before freshman year of college.

I don't know to what extent damage from mercury and lead is irreperable - even after chelation. Be useful to find out. Sadly with the mass poisonings in Flint we might be seeing more data on the subject.
Designing your own Spring Boot starter – part 1
Nice paper. After reading the paper I was motivated to read the Typed Racket Guide. I have been using Haskell a lot but I am open to alternative typed languages.

BTW, the premise of the paper seems very intuitive: better to either use a strongly typed language or a dynamic scripting Lange. Avoid the middle ground.

Back in 1984, I was at Disney world with a school trip. They had an exhibit that looked like an arcade game that had a keyboard. You typed on the keyboard and it would say what you typed. We almost got kicked out of Disney world for making it say rude words. I remember exactly what the employee said. "If I hear one more cuss word out of that thing, you are out of here."
I think a lot of people have the attitude that they need to beat the market, once you accept that just following it provides a good rate of return index funds make a lot of sense.
This I agree with...Hollywood did not put out movies with the full context and nuance.

On the other hand, most of the movies did highlight the horrors of war, highlight the futility of the effort, disillusion of the front line troops, etc.

So, the argument isn't that Hollywood did a terrific job, just that they weren't portraying the war as noble, winnable, etc.

They don't. They suffer learning and behavioral deficits for life.
Should really use "git filter-branch", not "git rebase -i", for automated history modifications. "git rebase -i" is good for interactive usage, not scripting.
We live on tap water and always assumed that the water quality would be flawless here in US. But after reading such stories, I subscribe to the idea of buying bottled water or refillable purified tap water. Now I will have to research if refillable RO water shops can actually clear water or has any lead or any other contamination in it.
I don't buy into the idea that you need some set of innate talent to be able to program. Logic and reasoning is a skill, and it can be trained just like any other.
If things ever get that extreme, it's time to whip out the research on race and IQ.

It's like, well, you asked for it.

Not trying to be snarky, but the majority of farm markets I've been to are overpriced. 6$ for raspberries, 7$ for a hummus. I know we lived in an era of low-quality, cheap food but for people like my family cheap grocers like Walmart are a necessity.

My small town for example. https://www.google.com/maps/search/grocery+stores+near+Ellij...

These days it has grown a bit, but Walmart is a very important part of the community. Before Amazon, it was the one stop shop for food, guns, toys, toiletries and other categories.
Security is not binary. In this case it depends on whether disclosing your identity to the servers you connect to is a problem in your threat model.

Saying "they are public so it's ok" is technical oversimplification.
>Here’s the thing: if I were the type of person who would be good at coding ...

I don't like this sentiment. Programming (at least the basics, no monads here) is really simple, and the perception that it's difficult seems damaging. What can we as programmers do about this? I'm almost as dejected hearing people say programming is hard as hearing "oh I can't do math."
As a legally blind person who started elementary school in the mid 1980s, the speech synthesizer that I associate most strongly with that time period is the Echo, installed in an Apple IIe. Here's a video demonstrating the Echo with an Apple II+:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbZuBhT7HK4

The MESS emulator can emulate the Echo, as well as the Apple IIe itself. I spent some time playing with that configuration on my PC, for a bit of nostalgia.

I was shocked to learn years later that in the 1980s, the state of the art in speech synthesis was actually DECtalk:

http://www.festvox.org/history/klatt/part35.au

But DECtalk was probably too expensive for a public school system at that time.

By the way, that clip comes from a record produced in 1986 by Dennis Klatt, the late creator of DECtalk. It's a fascinating chronicle of the history of speech synthesis:

http://www.festvox.org/history/klatt.html
I think e needs to be coprime with phi(N) rather than N itself. This is so you can find d = e^-1 mod phi(N), which would otherwise not exist.

Of course, if e shares a factor with N, you have bigger problems.
In the real world, you have edge cases where the supply/demand curves run out of room and no one has any capital left to open a grocery store.

I wouldn't conflate the communists in Vietnam (USSR ally) with those in Cambodia (Chinese ally). Vietnam fought wars with both of the latter countries.

Winning battles doesn't count for much if you don't meet your strategic objectives (if you even have any). The same story has played out many times since then; the Soviets dominated the Afghans in every possible way, but accomplished nothing of note. Iraq now is much the same.
Well, yeah. Starting up a mom & pop grocery store.

It's the hash of the SubjectPublicKeyInfo field of an X.509 SSL cert. A different pin == a different public key, so you will need to generate a new CSR with a new key pair, as the public key is embedded in the CSR.
"Aber warum?" means "But why?", "Es ist Betrug!" means "It is fraud".
Well, to counter your anecdotal evidence: I am American, was once an exchange student in Europe, know what country Hiroshima is in, and don't think we won the Vietnam war.
You're not getting much "access to PE deals" when your portfolio has only ~$5 million to allocate to "everything in the world which is not publicly traded stock or bond fund" but I'm sure someone will happily represent that they can arrange that for you if you want to pay $500k per year.

You'll get a pretty nice report of your portfolio and (market) returns. Spiral bound and everything.

If you want an accountant for international issues, I question the wisdom of doing that unless life/business naturally throws them your way, but $500k buys an awful lot of hours from someone who knows the transaction and localities involved, which your investment advisor does not. (Will every investment advisor in the Chicago phone book happily take a $50 million client who wants to spend $5 million on a modestly nice house in Tokyo? Yes. Do any add value to that transaction? Well, maybe one does. Could you find much better advice? Oh heck yes.)
The majority of the landing page is jazz on my end, so not sure about your difficulty.

The city I live in sends out semi-annual or quarterly water test results. Of course they could be doctored, but I doubt it.
Yes! And having as many people that can program that people that can read music (millions of people learn that as children), or that people that are graphic designers in some capacity (thanks to the digital publishing boom, it feels like it's really everybody nowadays) would be enough to be a major change.

I think that's the first quantitative level to discuss, then as you said, the next one is the literacy level (98% or so)
Ask HN: Resources to quickly grok Microservices (Java, possibly)
I would like to get up to speed quickly with Microservice architectures. I am not expected to actual build stuff directly, but I will soon need to discuss (functional) requirements for a project that will be implemented using Java Microservices, and having a technical background I would like to be able to at least understand the lingo and be aware of any drawbacks or critical elements of the architecture.

Can anybody suggest a book or website(s) that could help me getting acquainted with this?
More in-depth resources could also be useful, later, but now I really need a crash-course on the subject.
Have you considered making a more thoughtful reply, one that actually challenges the comment you're replying to?
Re: why people are using the word "dead" regarding code annotations:

Without getting into a discussion about the title being clickbaity (I think it is), the paper's point is still entirely valid. Yes, you can ignore the annotations for production builds as you point out, but then you don't get the soundness guarantees at the edges of untyped and typed code, and that's the entire crux of the paper.
My thoughts too. Kudos for the open source!
North Korea Rocket Launch: UN Security Council to Meet
Maybe the problem is that we, as the computer scientists of our age need to make it easier for people who are not coders to build things and make machines work for them as well? Like you said its about solving problems. In that respect, coding is like a plier, much like any other tool in the box, except its one thats (mostly) incomprehensible to a majority of people--and thats partially our fault.

To scratch my little sunday morning dystopian itch, it makes you think that in the future what may happen is that society will be further divided into classes, except it will be the ruling, technical class and the non-technical class.

> The US wasn't really in Vietnam to win anything, but there to stop the North from capturing the South, which it did quite easily until the money dried up.

[...]

> Militarily, the US was maintaining a kill ratio of 134:1 until the pull out.

But that's just not how wars work. No politician goes to war to get a good kill ratio. It's a question of strategic objectives. AFAIK, the dominant theory on the US side was that once the incompetently-led South Vietnam fell to the North, the "domino effect" would turn the rest of Southeast Asia into a bastion of godless communists. The US lost due in a large part to political factors, but anyone thinking that military factors are the only important thing in war shouldn't really be allowed to take any strategic decision. There is just no question that North Vietnam, on the other hand, achieved its own strategic objectives and won.
I'm wondering if Wal-Mart could allow the community to adopt the stores (without their brand name attached) and manage them as a coop instead of shuttering them. In other words "It's not worth it to us to keep this building around, but if it is worth it to you, feel free to keep it running"
The city quality report will not pick up chemicals that enter the water from your service line and plumbing (these are both potential sources of lead).

Testing what comes out of a given tap is not incredibly expensive, state health and environmental departments usually have information about it.
Ability to change/rename ids from within the UI would be nice.
I wrote that more to emphasise the irony. Obviously whether the US as a whole has worked and contributed towards 'freedom' as one of their main goals is open for debate.
Just replace that /#/g with /[^\s]/g to replace all non-whitespace characters.
I like this. Even though I tend to use statically-typed programming languages so I'd probably never use this, if I'm bashing out a script in something dynamic I often wish I could store data in a way that was as quick and hackable as the language im using, but more powerful than flat files.

Sqlite has always been a bit dynamically typed, it only makes sense to finish the job and lazy-create tables and columns as needed.

I can't see anything in the docs about how the upsert command works, though. Too many upsert commands use the primary key for upserting, which fails with autogenerated keys.
