As an Italian native speaker, I do not fully agree.

Italian is great, but often is too much rhetorical and "slow" to convey a message, while English is quicker and allows you to "hack" the language in a unique way.

I do not love English, but I think that it is good enough and the quicker language to use out there (albeit one of the hardest to master properly).

Italian is excellent, especially compared to other (major) European languages (hello French and German). But it is not the quicker language to learn at an acceptable level IMHO.
Amazon are involved in the delivery here in the UK under the name Amazon Logistics. They are terrible and are clearly putting minimum cost above all other factors.

Easier said than done in many environments. RHEL 6, released in 2012, is still supported until 2017!
This is I think very true. The government underestimated I think the anger that had been and has been growing in the tech sector around these issues. I try myself to be objective and still find myself having an initial reaction of anger.

It can be very difficult sometimes to distinguish between your purely emotional reaction and the objective risk factors involved that you need to balance. There is very much an us against them mentality that frankly seems to have caught the Government off guard a bit.

Most phones also have a GLONASS receiver, which is Russia's GNSS.
Absolutely horrifying point of view.

I get it, we don't like leeches. But forcing people to work or else not get benefits meant for the poorest (i.e. let them starve or go homeless)? Wow. It's work camps without fences.

Driving around and/or delivering things to people that are better off then they are? How is that helping people build their own human capital? The only people that helps are the people consuming those services at exploitative wages. Why exploitative? Because if this option wasn't exploitative and it actually helped them beyond making sure they don't die, they'd have chosen it for themselves.

Yes. Train bureaucrats that administer this programs and deal with those seeking welfare about these gig economy options. Make sure that those who want to engage know about them and have the ability to engage, but let's not force them 'or else'.

Imagine losing your job, having to get on welfare to feed your family, and being told (probably through an impersonal text) "15 min foot massage at 111 Anywhere street. $5. $20 an hour equivalent. Appt. in 45 min. Confirm or lose benefits."

We're better than that.
Ultimately the point is that if we allow the government to compel companies to perform work, where's the line? If the AWA is upheld by all the courts, how do we prevent the government from just dictating to companies continuously the work they must perform on the government's behalf?
Eventually, probably. There's a reason why most companies don't scale their customer rep teams in high cost areas like the bay area to begin with. Many companies either offshore or open their customer rep centers in places like Arizona or the Midwest where the low wage work will still be a living wage. It's inherently low wage work, and paying significantly above market wage for low skill labor is something businesses are understandably reticent to do.

I know the US judiciary system works with the laws by the letter. And I know that examples like this prove again and again that it's not always the optimal way to do things.

I've been comparing and buying on either Jet or Amazon recentlly. As a result, I've been buying on Jet more frequently.
Jet has a smaller selection but they usually have a good enough range on the price-value curve that it's not a big problem. Like for like, they are indeed cheaper than Amazon and free 2 day delivery is always a plus. Of course their model is lower prices with a bit more delayed deliveries.
The way the Nazi regime came about did use loop holes in the constitution of the Weimar Republic, but it was still problematic. Kind of like how the Bush administration defined prisoners in the 'war on terrorism' as 'enemy combatants', which somehow meant none of the Geneva conventions apply.

The one issue that unifies Trump supporters is anti-Muslim bigotry. A whopping 75% of voters during the last exit poll support Trump's wholesale ban on Muslim migration[1].

On all other issues Trump supporters are more divided. Except for this one, where support is near universal. Trump is the logical conclusion of 40 years of race baiting in politics. This is not about "political correctness", except insofar that that bigotry used to be concealed to avoid harsh social judgement, and now it's just out there in the open. Trump's base consists almost entirely of white people who harbor racial anger. The notion that Trump's campaign is really about class instead isn't borne out by the facts. To the contrary, it's a refusal to acknowledge the obvious.

So why not better regulate the gig economy?
I guess when the FBI compels them again

That's a bit of a specious argument though – of course, if they produce different software in the future, it could be used again!

If the FBI want their own ability to sign Apple updates, then that's obviously a different situation. But the point you were making – that it's not possible to write software that will run on only one device – is not true in this case.

This is not mysterious. Can the FBI require a software company to subvert their own security guarantees? Should they? Do bank vaults have back doors for the FBI?

I don't really know the right answer.
That's quite a display of de-personing poor people. And I wouldn't worry about the car, but the people inside it.
These features are allowing to build more complex sentences using less words and/or make them shorter.
After translating of thousands of sentences from English to my native language for opensource projects, I found that word-to-word translations are about 30% longer in average, while translations of sentences of text are about 10% shorter in average, sometimes even 3x shorter. Direct consequence is that it is easier to understand shorter text, because of limited size of short-time memory. I.e. shorter text adds few points to IQ.

So, functionally, is there any real difference between using Mint's ISO to install-from-scratch versus using you're preferred distro of choice (Ubuntu/Fedora/FreeBSD, etc.) and installing the Cinnamon Mint desktop on top of it?

I've been playing with Mint for the past few weeks and experimenting with full-Mint-on-a-VM versus Ubuntu-with-Cinnamon-desktop, and I don't really notice much of a difference. After reading about all of Mint's problems this morning, I'm tempted to stick with Cinnamon exclusively as a DE unless someone offers a compelling reason to use the full distro.
Jane, Stop this crazy thing! or in other words, how do you decelerate the spacecraft once you near Mars orbit. You'd need either a ton of conventional propulsion fuel , or a mars based laser there too. Worse is that you have a limited energy sources and no one to mine them. Solar might help, but it'd take a helluva alot of planning to install them via some automated system.
I'm quite happy with existing speeds. The problem is data caps.
thanks (for the compliment and for correcting me)

Using words that just don't perfectly fit is probably a good illustration of differences between a speaker of near-native proficiency and a native speaker. Choosing odd words here and there.
I don't see the point you are trying to make. I'm simply suggesting that "treating the government as no better than a customer" is probably a healthy attitude. In general, I think society is a lot better off when the government has to beg for data, fight for it in court, and loses more often than not. Government should only be "powerful" in the sense that it has great power to protect the liberty of the citizens who own it.

I recognize this as an idealistic attitude. I've always leaned libertarian.
Currently I use H&R and went that way after years of Turbo Tax simply for cost. Even now the F&S version was twenty bucks cheaper than the Turbo Tax equivalent. I figure many must think themselves locked into to continue with Turbo Tax.
I wouldn't lose sleep over performance problems. C#'s much faster than most of the other languages. Most of the ASP.Net MVC sites I've written have sub-50ms server responses even on tiny VPSes.

One of my old employers had 100s of installs of its VBscript, then ASP.Net, program, with a complicated salesforce-esque application that clients could customize themselves with extra code, so there was a wide range of code written by programmers of wildly differing ability. And they did all sorts of crazy stuff.

Almost all performance problems were SQL related.

In the 3 or 4 years I was there we had a bug with IIS once, some crazy specific thing, I can't remember it exactly but it would be like if you'd chose a very particular and obscure variable name and the value passed via query string was this one very particular value it would cause that thread to hang. Even that was fairly trivial to identify because a google search brought up an MSDN.

And when we were genuinely stuck by then we had some sort of partner status and could phone them up. When we were using silverlight when it first came out our technical director actually ended up chatting to one of their core programmers about a specific bug. I seem to remember this only happening with silverlight and with a very obscure tech we were using (some sort of strange clientside control that IE6 had that you wrote in vbscript that no-one really used that I honestly can't remember the name of now).
> The issue is the precedent that is made

That searching the effects of a dead terrorist is acceptable? I really don't find this objectionable in any way whatsoever.

Good, Apple's desires to not be subject to the laws of nations where they do business has historically hurt their customers. Even now people argue that Apple are doing this to protect their customers of which there's no evidence whatsoever.
Yeah, they really seem to have taken it up a notch this year.

I was presented with a refund that was only possible if I purchased a small business plan. When I declined, the UI reduced my refund by $2k and also said I'd have to re-enter my personal information it had saved from last year, basically penalizing me.

Curious, I went to H&R Block and began to file my current-year taxes from scratch. Lo and behold, HRB's basic service level calculated my full refund.

Competitive note: Walmart does free shipping at $50 orders as well. Seems like this just shows that Amazon didn't think that they needed the additional $15 advantage.
I agree that the examples aren't particularly motivating. But I think it really shines in JSX blocks (or other simple branches in literal data structure definitions). It's also super helpful when needing to initialize several variables based on branching on several other values. Having expression-if combined with array unpacking assignment makes this a breeze.

Your math is a little off, but you should seriously consider brushing up a bit and writing. SFF (and speculative fiction as a whole) has a diversity problem.
I believe that police forces have an interest in using whatever resources are legally available to them to pursue their inquiries, and as such, the FBI is acting according to its mission.

My position is that the government as a whole - including the legislative, executive, and Supreme Court, have a duty to national security and civil liberties that would be severely compromised if the FBI prevails here.

I agree with the ex director of the NSA, that strong encryption and secure devices are good for national security, and protect us against cyberterrorism, and that this is far more important than this individual case, and so the FBI should not be allowed to prevail.
I believe that you are referring to this[0] study. It has since been published (2011), though it's not openly accessible.

Page 8 of a presentation by the author[1] shows that out of 7 languages (Japanese, Italian, Spanish, French, German, English, and Mandarin) English is the second most information dense language, Mandarin being the most. Spanish is characterised by a fast rate of low-density syllables.

A Spanish to English comparison (eye-balling) would be that Spanish is spoken at a rate of 7.8 syllables per second vs 6.2 for English (≈ 22.9% faster). (Spanish compared as a lot of comments are referencing its simplicity)

English, compared in the referenced study, achieves the highest information rate, is spoken at a moderate-slow speed with a high information density.

> It's just in the same bag as Gentoo regarding release process.

There's a big difference, though - Arch Linux has no concept of partial upgrades. You have to update, or things break. Gentoo allows you to stick with old versions and has a pretty sophisticated mechanism for that ("slots"). It's also complicated, which is one of the reasons Arch Linux is easier to use.

This makes Arch Linux unsuitable for pretty much any "production" scenario. Puppet version updated to 4? Tough luck if you didn't scramble and update all of your code since version 4 has backwards-incompatible changes.

Works pretty well for desktops - if something breaks, you can usually just fix it. But it does not scale.

Gentoo, on the other hand, has an unstable and a "stable" channel and you can use it for production systems if you've got the necessary manpower to essentially build your own distro.
Nice lie of a title.

Here's the real question: why did she chose to work in the most expensive city in the country?

What was she expecting? Yes, customer service reps don't get paid well. Why? Because literally anyone who can answer the phone and not be rude can do it. The required skill set for it is very low and it's easy to find replacements, so it's not going to be a well paid position.

If you read her article, you'll learn she majored in english (which is fine, but you should go into that knowing you're not going to make much money), and immediately got herself in a bunch of debt after college. She clearly isn't the best at financial decision making.

I wouldn't want to live in the bay area on a dev salary, let alone on a service rep one. No one is forcing her to make bad decisions. I can't stand people complaining about the status quo when they make horrible decisions with their money and life choices.

And just to note, I was a customer service rep for over two years, so I know what the job entails. I eventually realized it wasn't a career, and decided to teach myself to code. Even if I hadn't though, I'd still be doing okay by:

1. Not spending more than I earn.

2. Not living in a ridiculously expensive city without an equally ridiculous income.
I see what you mean but this has no relation to the React release policy. React itself moves with a pace that should be easy to follow.

Community projects like React Router move faster but this is not something the React team can help you with. If you don’t want to keep up with the breaking changes there, you can wait for the project to stabilize. For example, you can use Backbone Router which hasn’t changed for years.

Finally, if you use something as experimental as hot reloading, please expect it to be tricky to set up until it’s part of official React. This is very experimental territory and there is so much work involved in just making it work that making it stable and easy is not a priority yet.
That's still the beautiful model you're referencing, not the reality of networking. If you saw what the actual network devices in the stack were doing, you would be... less impressed by the beauty, let's say. But they work, and they're fast. That has beauty of its own.

And I mean real network hardware through which the packets your received these words are, too, not just abstract theoretical "somebody's got something somewhere that does something weird". The model hasn't been accurate since before it was created.
The only issue I have found with Amazon Prime is more items I have bought have moved to the Marketplace and most of those items no longer qualify for prime.

So while it is great for many items if Amazon keeps offloading items to others it becomes less useful to me.

> If the Git blobs were the source of the memory leak then this would, in fact, fix the memory leaks.

no. Because they are still reading git blobs - just only for the smaller files.

> GitLab no longer loads large Git blobs (e.g. binary files) into memory [emphasis mine]

So if their handling of Git blobs is leaking memory, then not reading the bigger blobs just gives them more leeway before they crash.

note though, that this means you have a collection of hashes for the password that are each 3 characters or whatever long, which can be brute forced in essentially no time at all. Crack em all, lay them out according to what letters the hash is for, put it all together and you are done. Even just having 1 subset reduces your passwords security by that many letters, if not more (you can filter out dictionary guesses that don't match those letters and such)
> As EU citizen I have zero influence on US politics. Complaining on HN to US citizens is literally all I can do.

What about making nice things that US citizens can't legally have? If you're legally in the clear in your own jurisdiction, you don't even need to take a risk yourself.

I'm not a lawyer and I don't know exactly what our situation is in the EU, so don't take my word that that's safe. Software patents may be technically banned, but I think people disguise them as 'business method' patents. And if you use US project hosting like Github, maybe someone can sue you there. I'm suggesting that, at the margins, we should take some risks.

The average adult is required to be available by phone. Not by snapchat, not by skype, not even by text message. By. Phone.

In tech-land and teen-land you can specify platforms to each of your relationships. But in the average American's day, doctors, daycare providers, clients, etc are all going to be contacting you by phone.

Without being required to carry around the phone part, a pocket-sized tablet would have 10x less adoption than it does today. "smart phone" it still is.
