All government work related emails are archived. They're available to the public through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests - basically, you make a request to the federal government for certain types of information and they are required to provide it to you, subject to limitations for relevance, confidentiality, etc.

Purely personal emails aren't archived. Government officials and employees use personal email accounts all the time, and their contents aren't turned over to the government PROVIDED that they relate purely to prsonal matters.

But in Hillary Clinton's case, she used a personal email account (stored on her personal server) exclusively to conduct government business. She said she turned over government-related emails to the State Department (as is required by law) and permanently deleted the rest. She also says she never sent confidential info or received information marked as confidential through this personal email address.

There are several investigations going on right now into her email practices. The focus primarily is on whether she mishandled confidential/top secret information. In response to FOIA and other legal requests, the State Department has been releasing her emails to the public. But the State Department has been withholding some documents on the basis that they contained confidential/top secret information after all.

Clinton says the agencies are retroactively applying an overly broad definition of confidnetiality to her emails, but her detractors are saying that the confidentiality designations show that she mishandled government secrets in violation of the law. Hence the political firestorm.

No matter how this turns out, using a homebrew personal email server to conduct state business was an incredibly foolish thing to do. I can't believe Clinton did this. I don't care if Palin or Jeb Bush or other people used personal servers too - she was the Secretary of State with presidential ambitions, and she's had a big red target on her since 1992. This reinforces the worst stereotypes that people have about her and the Clintons in general, that they are secretive, paranoid, conspiratorial, and completely willing to operate in the grey areas of the law.
Agreed .. especially compared it to the cesspool that Slashdot became!
Again you're just cherry picking a rarely used niche example that benefits from a SQL-like cross join, that you couldn't even map to a real-world example. What's the point, to show it has terse syntax for rare use-cases?

Whilst the code is terse it's also deceptive as it's not obvious it's performing a cross-join over multiple collections - so even in this case I'd prefer using a nested maps which IMO is more readable as it's clearer what's actually happening. Readability != terseness, it's clarity of intent.
I have actually owned both, a nest and a wifi honeywell. Pros and cons to both. My biggest gripe to nest is that it was focused on saving energy, and did not offer any way to tweak some of the settings. Yes it may be cheaper to let the temp get 3 degrees over what I set it before you turn the AC on, but having 5 degree temp swings every hour is not a very comfortable environment..

The honeywell is simple, but works well. Has a vacation mode, and tells my kids how warm or cold it is outside.. cool!

I love Stephen Fry, but I'm conflicted. On one hand, he's upset that people are offended and without a hint of irony is obviously very offended by their sensibilities. That said, celebrities (intentional or otherwise) have a very different experience on social media than the lay person.

Next to zero chance of that for a developer in Silicon Valley. But don't think it doesn't happen to people in minimum wage jobs everywhere.
So there are some gains. For example if it knows it is an extra sunny day and its 11am, it could heat a little bit less and let sunlight so more. On the other hand, more fancy is more to break.
A rare lapse in following procedure, likely accidental, is not even on the same planet as setting up a private email server to avoid oversight.

Those emails would still be safer on gmail than in some small IT firm's bathroom closet.

Yep, that's correct: I had my own laptop and commercial internet access through most of the deployment.
That's an interesting point...

I think it's certainly worth considering that ocean weathers and, especially, temperatures factor in...

I would expect survival rates, in the event of an accident--tipping over, developing a leak, blowing off-course for a time--would be higher in a warmer climate...

Water temperatures cold enough to induce hypothermia for a man or crew overboard most likely meant death...

In other words, unfortunate Polynesian explorers and sailors were probably more likely to live to sail another day...
Interesting to note that searching using terms to probe her connections to the financial industry brings back a bunch of heavily redacted emails.
Did it feel very weird to anyone else that some of the most important chat protocols ever to have existed were not even mentioned once in the article, in favor of various startup apps that many people have never even heard of?

Any history of chat networks needs to include BBSes, IRC, ICQ, and Google Talk (now Hangouts).
You've never had anyone dig into a comment you've made looking for you to have been the most cynical version of yourself? It's awful.

The other interesting piece of information is the incredible amount of access Chelsea gets given her experience level. Obviously, her connections have helped her.

In her defense though, she seems to be living up to it.
Side note: I've read a few articles in which previous State employees have characterized State Department IT infrastructure as... less than functional.

Given that this is the federal government, an older and large department, and pre-USDS/18F, I consider that at least a somewhat plausible scenario.

Would be curious if anyone closer could lend a technical opinion on whether those claims have merit or are spin. (Given how bad signal:noise is on this issue)
To be honest, I didn't even know there was a release page in github repos. I don't recall seeing those. I normally don't expect to be able to download installers from github, so I never really thought to look for such a thing.
I got sat next to a CIDA worker at a wedding. She talked about her duties ensuring that a Canadian agency head was provided with adequate and hygienic toilets in Haiti. Reports included trips to various places and pictures of each possible crapper along the way. Tax dollars at work...

Can you imagine being the lead team on that? The existential ennui alone about the pointlessness of it all.

edit:forgot to mention that it was Haiti, acronym is CIDA, not CANAID
Thank you for your service!
It would take more than that. SMS delivery delays can be long, MMS is quirky and unreliable, and support for group messaging is bolted on at best and varies widely between carriers and handsets. Mobile chat apps are popular not only because of price but because they offer better UI and more reliable infrastructure than texting.
It's very little if anything like a Kalman filter. Or rather, as much like a Kalman filter as it is a PID controller.

For example, Nainoa Thompson described part of learning to be a navigator from Mau Piailug. The full account is at http://pvs.kcc.hawaii.edu/ike/hookele/locating_land.html . In short:

> The diurnal flights of such birds are the most useful signs for expanding landfall, since their flights to and from an island gives a fairly specific direction to the wayfinder. As the birds leave an island in the morning, the wayfinder can sail in the direction the birds are coming from to find land; as the birds return to an island in the late afternoon, the wayfinder can follow the birds to land.

In this case:

> The night before that we saw the birds flying south so how come late in the morning with the sun very high was this bird coming out of the north? That would suggest that we passed the island during the night.

But this interpretation was wrong:

> Mau had seen in the beak of the bird a little fish and he knew that the birds were nesting. They had flown out to sea before sunrise and were taking food back at mid-morning to feed their young, before they flew out to sea again to feed themselves.

How is this meaningfully like a Kalman filter?
Weirdly, their dataset doesn't include the word "thirteen" or "13". and it's not a matter of excluding numbers, they have "twelve", "12", and "14" and "fourteen".

That's the main issue people have with SV (and London, and <insert big city here>).

If you're not a person who's happy living in a tiny space you don't own, then it's a grind until you move out.

A long grind. And you're planning, the whole time, to leave it all behind.

I don't know SV. I do know London.

Starting today, $1M USD in London gets you a decent family home.

In ten years? Forecast not looking good. We're right back to the 'save to move out' point.

It's a mercenary lifestyle.

Those of us in the military community have a saying: "Lighten up, Francis."

As for me, when I read the title, I immediately assumed that the author was stationed at a base in Iraq and worked on his project during his down time. Upon reading the article, this assumption turned out to be correct.
So, as another outside observer looking in, the use of the private email doesn't seem to be relevant to the document release itself, right? That's just the result of a FOI request, because public official's emails are subject to FOI, regardless of where they're stored.

So what I wonder is, do we see this with every candidate? Is there a similar archive of Jeb Bush's emails from his time as Governor of Florida? Or do the States not tend to have the same kind of FOI transparency as the Federal Government?
Not necessarily a bug on their end, those urls are actually from a bot, AutoWikibot. Which uses the word "NSFW" in every post, so all of it's formatting is highly correlated with it: https://www.reddit.com/user/AutoWikibot

The last line (Parent commenter can toggle NSFW or delete...) has this formatting:

^Parent ^commenter ^can [^toggle ^NSFW](/message/compose?to=autowikibot&subject=AutoWikibot NSFW toggle&message=%2Btoggle-nsfw+ct3omf8) ^or[](#or) [^delete](/message/compose?to=autowikibot&subject=AutoWikibot Deletion&message=%2Bdelete+ct3omf8)^. ^Will ^also ^delete ^on ^comment ^score ^of ^-1 ^or ^less. ^| [^(FAQs)](/r/autowikibot/wiki/index) ^| [^Mods](/r/autowikibot/comments/1x013o/for_moderators_switches_commands_and_css/) ^| [^Call ^Me](/r/autowikibot/comments/1ux484/ask_wikibot/)

You can see how that formatting might fuck up their nice natural language processor and tokenizer.

Honestly, the best part of this story for me is I am finding out the details from Backblaze. I remember when I worked at Zetta.net and I chatted with a couple of members of the founding Backblaze team at the time about their DC issues (we were in the backup biz as well). Thoughtful, pragmatic, and straight forward.

I was using Backblaze back then and still do.

A great company and well worth supporting.

Thank you for the analysis and sorry for the troubles you encountered due to Adobe -- a company that had multiple "we are doing better for the employee" HR moments which mean "you are screwed" over the last 5-7 years.
It's like Hacker News for online gaming! :-)

Sorry, but a $1.2m house, including mortgage, taxes, insurance and the general cost of owning a home is not affordable to someone making 200k/yr, much less the $180,000 down payment you are suggesting. That isn't to say it is impossible, but the house would own you.
According to your link, that's the case. It only works when the sun is just below the horizon so there is still scattered light in the sky.
Possible to add a screenshot of how it looks with redshift? Working on the contrast part.
GraphQL is a copy of OData / IQueryable which is over 5yrs old. Its not new. Just like flux, is EventSourcing rebadged.

If u search about these technologies, which are quite old, u can find the positive and negative consequences of their implementations in the wild.

ie. exposing IQueryable<T> is an anti-pattern and security vulnerability. As soon as your API is public, and you try and lock it down from simple DoS attacks, your not going to end up at the beginning. The only place these technoligies belong would be in your trusted environment - API <=> DataSource, not Client <=> API
I find `not in` highly dubious - it makes the expression grammar awkward and harder to parse. Is `not in` a two-token operator? Or is `not` an adverb in this context? What else resembles this?

To cite an alternatice, in Tcl, `in` is an operator and its negation is `ni`. A cute pun and echo of Monty Python that I'm disappointed Python didn't follow :).
For all those complaining about quality / bugs in Nest devices, here is a talk that some Nest engineers gave at the 2015 Google Test Automation Conference.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIoAq2Mjjas&list=PLSIUOFhnxE...

So there is at least somebody trying to improve things! Also, I think it's interesting to note that a company can produce buggy crap even while their engineers are turning up to conferences and saying all the right things.
What I find strange is that some people vote for Hillary in the primary because they think she is more electable than Bernie. Say what?

Electability isn't just about crude left-right positioning. It's also about personality and trust.

Moderate voters could reluctantly go for Bernie's politics, just as they could reluctantly go for any random republican's politics. What they won't tolerate is Hillary.

People really really despise her.
There is no disagreement, Smalltalk is the object system.

IQueryable. Go look it up. MS did GraphQL years ago.

If you got out of your insurlar JS/FB/Twitter bubble, u will see the anti-pattern that IQueryable become.
That introduces unnecessary complexity in the code for something that could just be explained in a comment.

There were no fixes performed in the method, the method just gets a product instance from a factory. The comment gives reasons for why it was using a core factory directly instead of using the automatic object resolution mechamisms.

The real method name was getProductInstanceFromCoreFactory. Still long, still clear as to what it is doing. But making the context clear would be more code than it is worth.

Avoiding comments by writing clearer code isn't a bad habit, but my point is that they are very useful to provide context for something that getting context for would otherwise be erroneous or cumbersome to implement.
State laws vary, but jeb bush has been pretty transparent - iirc he actually released a book of his emails as governor.
I've mulled this over in watching the community. Unfortunately (for other sites), I've come to the conclusion that it's a cultural thing and therefore subject to the whims of the dominant culture at any time.

HN certainly does things (thanks, team!) that make this more likely, such as playing around with the ability to downvote replies to yourself, etc.

But I think a larger part of it is "monkey see, monkey do to fit in." If I see an angry, fact-lite comment getting grey-bombed into oblivion, I'm going to probably be less likely to make such comments myself.

Sociology has a lot of language for this, but there are few things more powerful than the disapproval of one's peers, virtual or real.

(Of course, 4chan/SA as cohesive social entities are simply fascinating too...)

It has nothing to do with SQL cross joins across multiple collections.

LINQ is useful for things that aren't even collections! In my example I was using them on a Task<T> to represent an asynchronous computation. This is common code we would write in a large C# application I was on at my previous job.

Exactly. If anyone were to think that hillarys email server was not wiped with cloth prior to any of this BS - they'd be a full on idiot.
In lieu of actual achievement and hard work, ass-kissing such as this is what political connection selects for, so it is hardly surprising to me that these emails are littered with such "sycophantic drivel."

Due to possible confusion, Windows 9 never existed. If one were to search Windows 9, there may be resualts of Windows 95/8 instead of the proper result.
I ran into a lot of NG/RC people (especially, but even some full time active duty people) in Iraq/Afghanistan 2004-2010 who were doing a pretty good job keeping businesses running back home. (I was selling Internet access, and while a lot of people were worried about $25/mo, if you ran a business you'd often be happy spending $500/mo to ensure you had good access -- this was before NIPR, base-wide wifi, etc.)

Great product, btw -- I've seen it on here before I think. And thank you for you service.
Jesus. Cost cutting with engineers never works well.

Suits need to get out of the thinking that engineers/developers/designers are a liability to be minimised.

It's not just suits either, it seems to be most non-engineers, I've met people looking for web designers before and they've tried to go with the most cut rate designer they can find, and then they wonder why their websites look like shit.
Nice to see someone organizing the re-purposing of perfectly re-usable items...

Not sure what's in play in Australia, but in the U.S. there are more than a few individuals (entrepreneurs) who drive around looking for "curbed" articles...

These are gathered and added to second-hand shop inventories, for resale...

If that's true in Australia it's something you might want to be aware of...you might consider a way of ensuring that those interested in an article get a fair shot at it...just a customer satisfaction thing...

Good luck!
Python is just a fashion language.

If you want truly survivor languages look at Smalltalk. More than 30 years and still alive.
Is not about modern type inference or dynamism... it's always about the people.
And people in Python doesn't have that commitment with the technology, they are more like freeloaders.
When I wrote similar functionality, we had (as you mentioned) various helper functions. All of them where heavily tested and marked for extra code review if they were changed. And if you need a temp or cache dir, systems provide safe ways to create such -- eg mktemp, GetTempPath, etc.

And it's more than fair for the lead who approved the code change, and perhaps even the lead who approved the entire design to have their jobs on the line for this.
It is dying
I wasn't asserting in either direction.

How big does local need to be to assert true then for you? The recent Disney accusations seem rather large. I remember reading recently about migrant workers and the job postings being listed in other states to prevent having local applicants. I guess this isn't a black and white scenario. One H1-B can be taking away an existing local job while another instance in another area might not be. "H1-Bs can take away local jobs" would be a true statement if that local scope fact is true but if you're suggesting that "no local jobs are lost to H1-Bs" then you're wrong. Local scope can invalidate a global scope.

Saying "every" as the GP did was wrong. But the argument is which is greater the number of by the book H1-Bs or the the number of H1-Bs that take local jobs. Is there an acceptable level of lost local jobs that makes the gain worth it?

I feel like it is the conflict of setting a guilty man free to never convict and innocent man. "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer" but not everyone agrees with that. They would rather catch the ten guilty persons and would be okay with the one innocent suffering. The greater good maybe? I'm not sure either way.
what is the benefit to this, besides from privacy?

Cost. Developing world people ... they maybe walk to market, maybe visit another village, they don't want to drop huge money on mobile data, which is stupid slow anyway and developers don't care about their use case. With local mesh it's fast enough that things work anyway.
I think I'm potentially on the right track for an O-1, but I think I should get a lawyer to help clarify the probability of success.

I'm 19, was sought out & contracted to work at Goldman Sachs without a degree for a year. Have written 10 scholarly papers in AI, 2 published. Have won a national business competition and semi finalist in an international one. Wrote an editorial for a big newspaper back home. 1 news article about me winning a competition. Have built some pretty interesting things with provocative demos, like a talking AI doctor in your web browser.
Actually I used to work for Samsung, and I've been to their HQ in Suwon, Korea. It's a very corporate corporation, not an engineering corporation. I'd expect someone like HTC or a Chinese competitor to crack this nut first.
> Perhaps aides think somehow they are being supportive, but if I were that powerful person, I believe I would rather just a few people I trust to tell me when I'm effing up - than everyone telling me how fantastic I am.

And if you were powerful, and wanted to, you would likely be able to find ways to surround yourself with such people. But I think often enough, the people who want power don't want it because they're very well-centered, and I think it's fair to assume that politicians and other people mostly select the nature (which can mean what those really think and/or what they claim they think) of their "underlings" by the signals they send, the incentives they give, by whom they hire or fire. In other words, the dog is probably wagging the tail, not the other way around.

I could be wrong, I don't know this woman and don't follow US politics that closely, but just from random things like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dY77j6uBHI I would call it a somewhat educated guess. Some people don't want to know the truth about themselves, that's the exact opposite of their mission in life. By which I don't mean to bash Clinton in particular, the list of big time politicians I wouldn't suspect this about would be very short and hard to come up with.
