There's a fundamental misunderstanding about classified material, which is that it becomes de-classified once it is public. Not true.

For example, take the Wikileaks information dump, which came from a huge cache of State Dept. cables and has now been covered in hundreds of public newspaper articles. If one of her friends forwarded one of those articles to Clinton, boom, she now has classified information in her email. Why? Because those cables, despite being leaked, were never de-classified.

Another example: a lot of the stuff revealed by Snowden was classified at a very high level. It still is today, even though it is widely available public information. Can you see how this could cause problems for someone who is a government official, but has friends/family/contacts who wish to discuss these news articles?

The press is a well-known vector that leads to a lot of government staff having classified information in their unclassified email systems. Typically investigations are rare and prosecutions rarer, because it's basically impossible to prevent and does no practical damage (since the info is already out there).

This is why the mere fact of having classified material on an email server does not necessarily imply incompetence or malice.
I really miss Pud at fuckedcompany.com. He was always railing against moronic companies like Accenture. He'd write something like "Accenture (pronounced ass-enter)".

Is that the one this it's supposed to do? I thought it's main feature was to be connected to the internet. Why you'd want that I have no idea.

I have about as cheap a programmable as you can get. It has four time ranges per day. I set them for morning, away, evening, sleep. It always works, all the time. If I come home and it's cold, or if I'm up late and it's cold, I hit the button a few times and go back to the couch.

It always works. Always. Always.

Classified after the fact means marked classified after the fact.

This matters because a lot of publicly available information--stuff we all know, stuff you can read in the paper today, or can be easily found on Wikipedia--is nevertheless considered classified information. There is no possible way that a single person can keep it all straight in their head, which is why State staff (and others) rely on the markings on documents (digital or otherwise) to know how to treat them.
This guy is literally a father. Why does he believe he can be a father AND a VC, yet women are incapable of being a mother AND a founder? Then he uses his wife as an example to extrapolate the desires of half the world population. He's absurd.

-fstrict-aliasing is on by default in gcc at -O2 and above. I'm surprised that the bug discussion doesn't mention that.

The PathScale compiler had a fair number of customers who complained about "bugs" that went away with -fnostrict-aliasing. We told them to use -fnostrict-aliasing.
"communities raid each other"

I love that image and it makes a clear picture for me. Playing on a PvP server of WoW before any expansions there was no formal PvP game. What spontaneously happened though was the raiding and taking over of the other factions town. Making a mess and disrupting otherwise normal play until everyone got tired and went to sleep.

It feels so much more intense (real?) in the social media world though.

I'm a male and have had good mentoring experiences.
Thanks for the reply Dean. It seems there is room to make this easier, although it can be hard to find and convince the market of that when there is something "good enough" out there. Hope you have some luck.

An idea, to take or leave: a very active niche for this kind of thing is parents of young children. Very young kids (babies/toddlers) in particular churn through a lot of "stuff" by growing out of it before it wears out. Parents are very active on a range of Facebook groups trading this stuff (though not usually for free, just cheap). In fact the groups are so active that I know people using them daily, and the biggest issue with offloading stuff is posting are lost in the noise. If you're looking for a nice to focus on this is a strong one.
Interesting: In World Series of Poker, "Thanks!" is one of the permitted auto-texts. I find it annoying when people say "Thanks!" immediately after winning a hand / before anyone compliments them on their play or win. Sounds like Hearthstone's "Hello" deathblows.

That says something about language, how the rules affect what's considered "offensive," and how some will work within the rules to create new offenses.

Instead of taking the opportunity to lecture poor Alan (and brag his own obvious skills), shouldn't Jeff be calling the cops instead?

I am part of a couple of groups where outrage/offendedness is really not socially tolerated, and will lead to tempbans and then permanent exclusion if continued. But they're closed groups built by invite; the concept could in theory be scaled up but I don't know how you'd make the moderation work out in terms of effort to available volunteer time.

We have something like this in San Francisco for furniture mostly: http://www.communitythriftsf.org

Thanks so much! I have a startup in stealth mode and it is funded. It is early days but this is my second funded startup and I see this as being much better than my first. I'll be making it all public soon.

I closed my first startup because I didn't feel like I could fight on both levels- having to fight the odds to launch a successful company while fighting the industry itself.

I could only come back in, if I came in swinging. So I am taking it all on and I feel ready for it now. That is why I am speaking my truth and willing to take the risks that come along with that. I hope that women coming after me can just launch their companies without having to deal with all of this crap.

Thanks for the nicely stated thoughts, but I understood the model the same way you describe. My reply can be summed up as: "that model can indeed work as a model, but it doesn't match reality". That is to say, reality certainly has elements of that model, but it is far from complete.

The entire gist of Lawrence Lessig's arguments of late are that we really are not seeing successful politicians simply being those who already love Wall Street and rich corporations. Instead, we are seeing those with some leanings in that direction also being normal people influenced in predictable ways by the system being set up so that most of their time and energy is spent with these biased sets of constituents.

In other words, politicians do change their views based on who they talk to and what they learn. And the system just works so that the people they talk to and learn from are almost always representatives of Wall Street and big corporations.

In the end, there's certainly both factors happening. Big money goes to elect those who already serve big money's interests, but big money also goes toward being in the place where its message gets heard by whoever is there. There's certainly lots of cases of big money donating to both sides of a two-way race.
> parent was edited and my reply appears nonsensical. The parent stated that the server was set up to avoid oversight

Still does.

> I do not believe has been established as true

The only reason for someone in her position to set up a private email server is to avoid oversight - it's bizarre that anyone could think otherwise - the burden of proof is on her at this point.
As someone, who bought a (for me) quite expensive domain lately:

Get some sense of the actual value of the domain and make an offer. Prepare for all kinds of bullshit: There are no other bidders, there are no limits of any kind, the seller "has to do" nothing, everything he says is a lie. Offer instant cash. If you made an offer roughly around the actual value, this argument wins, use it against everything the other side comes up with.

What other comments are saying is not true. They won't sell you the domain for cheap, because of a bad market or to save fees. Domainers are shady sales guys, who want to extort as much money from you as they can. You are vulnerable to them, because they already know, that you want the domain, because you already have chosen that name. You have to offer them a deal that is roughly around the actual value (e.g. what others would pay) and be ready to walk away at any time. Instant money is the argument that gets you a discount.

Maybe each Nest is a remote sensor, and everyone who has one has their house temperature set to the same temp, the result of some super-duper averaging algorithm running on Nest's cloud.
I have explained how linearization works, if you just wanna use it, its very easy. Just goes from right to left and you don't need to remember anything else. About anti pattern, I don't think so. It might not be useful every where, but at some places it makes sense to have stackable behavior.

It's a bit ridiculous when you could have basically taken any old mass produced el-cheapo smoke detector circuit, and instead of tripping an alarm have it just feed into gpio pins on some wifi/whatever controller that has the "smarts".

I think these are fantasies, it seems a little mean to burst them with reality.
Find almost any job posting labeled 'Software Engineer', 'Software Developer' , 'Software Development Engineer', 'Product Manger', 'Project Manager', etc. for a reasonably large growing tech company. That posting will almost certainly represent multiple jobs.

Here is one example: https://stripe.com/jobs/positions/engineer

That single job listing (Engineer at Stripe) represents ALL of their Engineer hires, and likely 100x-1000x as many rejected applications as hires. That posting has been there for years. There are not enough qualified people to fill the role.

There are many, many companies that operate this way.
If by "this whole controversy" you want to talk about the fact that Hillary gets lots of big money contributions, that's not what my comment was about.

My comment was about her denying the overwhelmingly scientifically-supported fact that people are influenced and biased by conflicts-of-interest and by those they spend their time around. Sure, someone could say, "I work at a Starbucks on Wall Street and spend my time mostly around bankers and such, and I hate them." I mean, I wasn't saying that spending time with people necessarily makes you sympathetic. But it certainly affects you in some ways.

I didn't say "Hillary is disqualified because she's corrupt" (although that may be true, that wasn't my comment).

My point is this: understanding the power of conflicts-of-interest over even totally well-intentioned people is among the most important things for anyone to understand in life (both about themselves and others). Hillary is spreading a message that even questioning someone about conflicts-of-interest amounts to calling them ill-intentioned. That idea is among the worst, most dangerous, most destructive ideas anyone could spread. Someone who claims effectively that only bad people are influenced by conflicts-of-interest is someone who has such wrong ideas about reality that they should never get any power.

I can't answer why the thread is hard to read, but as for the blog. It is written by me, a professional Journalist and University Lecturer in Organizational Development and Management. It's called "colloquial" use of language so that even idiots can understand it.

Apparently, even dumbing it down doesn't make it idiot proof.
In modern chat apps like FB Messenger or WeChat, you can hail a taxi, send money, send your current location, send a variety of stickers/gifs, send disappearing messages, send pixellated messages you have to pay to unpixelate (only in WeChat as far as I know), among other things.

Regardless of what you think of these features, modern chat apps are certainly very different from IRC.
I notice this sometimes too. I think another example is "burnout" and "learned helplessness" [1]. Whenever I see another article on HN trying to understand what burnout is, I feel like we're rediscovering something psychologists discovered in the 60's.

traits in Scala doesn't always have to be in a "is a" relationship. If it makes you understand then think of them as adding behavior/mixins. And about why the syntax confused you, the first "with" trait has to be extended, if it could replace extends with "with" in case of traits then maybe you would have liked it better.

I have a small storage unit at a local suburban self storage facility.

Often when I go there I'm the only customer there, and I've never seen more than 3 other customers present at the same time.

The office is almost continuously manned during business hours (+ weekends), but hardly anyone goes in there. Even when I go to grab stuff from my unit I don't go into the office or talk with the staff - I just pick-up/dump-off my stuff and go.

The guys that work there must have some sort of side project/hobby to prevent them from going insane.

I actually find that the use of "!" over "not" improves readability. English words tend to all blend together and take more time to parse, whereas a nice "!" token is easy to recognize at a glance. That being said, "not" is of course more understandable for somebody who has no idea about the language; however, asking a programmer to learn a single symbol for "not" is not too much to ask :)

this comment is very interesting:

I really appreciate you guys doing this. There's now serious consideration of building the Julia (julialang.org) data-analysis ecosystem on top of SFrames. It will hopefully allow our community to focus on the unique strengths of Julia, such as the ability to write arbitrary JITed user-defined aggregation and transformation functions, while not reinventing the wheel of low-level scalable data carpentry primitives.

Anybody know how accurate this is ? Would love to compare R data frames or Pandas to SFrame in terms of feature and performance.
