There are many distinctions to be made when it comes to voter suppression. The first category we are seeing during most elections is the legal voter suppression where voters cannot vote because of stringent requirements. However, we've seen numerous cases of unexplained voter suppression during these elections where voters purely disappeared from the voter roll without any explanations.

I am not saying this is favoring Clinton over Sanders but it certainly undermines the trust anyone can have regarding the final results.
You could say it also took us to a place where there are no more Elvis's, Michael Jacksons, Beatles or Queens. This might just be my perspective failure due to growing old but maybe the quality of music has degenerated into singers shouting insults at each other for the past 10 years?

Stock exchanges really cannot be expected to track numbers of outstanding shares. One puts in a bid or an ask, indicating that one is willing to purchase or sell the given number at the given price, and an order type, indicating the manner to fulfil (fill-or-kill, limit to a certain price, take whatever outstanding offers are necessary...). This is more than enough nuance for a professional product like a stock exchange that needs to operate at microsecond cadence.

If you want to validate whether an order makes sense or is a "good idea", the place to do it on the client.
Moreover, I don't even consider React a framework. I consider it a library for my creating my view layer. Frameworks, at least to me coming from back end, have all sorts of extra bells and whistles. Something like Angular I would consider a framework and it has its OWN view layer inside. But React feels much different, it feels like something your (non-view layer) framework should feed into, not replace entirely.

I sincerely appreciate your response and the points you've pointed out.

The process you talk about makes a lot of sense.
The creative process separated from archiving/documentation is a good distinction, thinking about it. I can see how it moves from paper to digital better now.

I'm reflecting on the key point, of being able to let go of old stuff.
That, combined with a limited time in the day (not to mention motivation / discipline / incentive) makes your point a very hard one to swallow.

I think that rationally, it makes sense. Limited time means we can only do so much in a day.
Emotionally, it feels like I should be able to digitize all the ideas and do them "later".

I'm not sure where I'm getting at with this, but I wanted to say thank you for giving me some good advice on how to approach paper and digital for projects.
I might be biased but I think this is a maybe looks good on paper decision but a terrible long term strategy decision. Just because they can't compete on price doesn't mean they can't compete on features.

It was only two months ago that they were showcasing their android platform and practically begging for customers. [1]

I've wanted to do a phone for awhile. I'm sure I'm not the only one. In the last few months I contacted people at Intel but I had no response whatsoever to my multiple inquiries (to you know, become a customer). And I have some of the company's most senior management in my LinkedIn. Now I know why.

This is kind of pathological behavior on Intel's part imo. The big players were never going to come to their platform. Huawei, HTC, Samsung, LG etc have no reason to change from ARM. They are content to keep doing their cookie cutter thing while fighting a brutal price war in a staid market.

On the other hand, the startups out there, those of us who want to do something really out of the box and grow new markets can't get a word in edgewise. It's disappointing. As a technologist, I really hope someone manages to ship an open source handheld one day. That will be the catalyst for the next iteration of smartphone evolution.

'Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) US Government agency, with the purpose of protecting investors from dangerous or illegal financial practices or fraud, by requiring full and accurate financial disclosure by companies offering stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities to the public.'

Why should SEC be involved in feminist causes? Their charter mentions nothing about it. I mean we can't go around demanding government to promote our pet causes because we feel like it.

I'm short and I wish there was no height discrimination. But I don't think SEC should deal with it :)

If this is something you feel strongly about, shouldn't this be dealt with by the legislature?

I wouldn't say it's captain obvious territory. I don't think most people realize how fast muscle development drops off after a year of serious training.
Absolutely agree. Also wanna notice that is React is the only one V from the MVC. At least it's weight now more then Angular. Backbone can even do everything and twice time more then React can do.
You also get a private registry. And all the complexities of authentication are wrapped up in a nice package.

And upgrading your cluster is easy too. Just one command and it rolls it out server-by-server, doing a full health check afterwards.

k8s (not specific to GCE) also integrates with network drives, so attaching and maintain persistent storage is really easy.

I've used ECS and it feels just so vanilla by comparison. AWS should have just built a hosted cluster system, rather than one from scratch.
No you don't know where the laundered money ends up. See my other longer comment in this thread, but the gist of it is that the pool will use the transaction fee to pay their mining rewards out of, and pay out rewards from previous blocks to a series of separate virgin addresses controlled by the original party in a way that looks indistinguishable from mining reward payouts.

I will grant you that the article didn't fully explain the process, and elided important details.

Wow, this is really surprising. Atom chips were steadily increasing their value from generation to generation and were within spitting distance of ARM in terms of mojo / watt and power consumption. Intel's process advantage should really let them dominate that market.

I wonder if this implies we'll see ARM chips built in Intel fabs?
If you're going to tell me I don't need to use a library, it has to be way more convincing than, "Look how easy data binding it with native APIs! And it's not slow!" This is a weak argument in my opinion, and does nothing to address how removing abstractions will make my life easier.
I didn't downvote you. But I don't want data binding. I want to input parameters and get UI as output. I want to minimize state as much as possible. I want to write unit tests where I mock as minimally as possible. These are the reasons I use React.

Ive noticed this across the board with google with regard to developers. They half-ass everything programmers need to interface and use what they produce. Very frustrating.
I didn't look at the demo, but that list of dependencies is not reflective of SDL.

This is what ldd on my build of SDL looks like:

linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffda33d9000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007ff1e4c51000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007ff1e4a4d000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007ff1e4830000)
librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007ff1e4628000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007ff1e426a000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007ff1e527e000)

SDL on Linux does a lot of dlopen detection at launch because it is so hard to know what kind of Linux environment you are running in at compile time. For example, you may have a X11 server, or you may be running completely on the command line without any window server. (It's really cool being able to develop for Raspberry Pi Raspbian via SDL without X11 since RAM is so limited.)

So that list is not SDL's contribution and that demo was just linking to a lot of things, most of which look unnecessary (and sloppy, though this also makes a case why people want header-only libraries because many people don't want to think about this part). For example, why is a gui demo demo linking to FLAC and all the Ogg Vorbis libraries? SDL doesn't use or depend on these either.
I think I agree with you, but your comment breaks the HN guidelines twice: the first paragraph is uncivil and the final one goes on about getting downvoted. It also pretty much breaks the injunction against "did you even read the article" comments, so that's three. Please don't do these things when commenting here, regardless of how irritatingly wrong someone else may be.

The middle paragraph is helpful and fine, and the comment would have been much better with just that.

You're comparing employment at a single factory to employment at an entire company, though. There are lots of jobs at Chobani that aren't factory jobs. And Nabisco has a much higher total employment count as well.

I too would love to see a breakdown of exactly how big each department of a given company is. I have no reason to suspect that they employ significantly more people than necessary though; the profit motive gives good reason to avoid doing that.

Seriously. The javascript world is INSANE. All these frameworks and few truly need them... node.js package management is a mess... yet how many of these coders will take the time to learn real ES5? It really isn't that hard of a language.

I feel like calling oneself a "javascript" expert practically requires knowledge of a framework or too. This is saddening, because Javascript itself is a rich language with a ridiculously fast runtime, yet everyone wants to work with a framework when a head full of sound theory and experience will do :/

> Therac-25 UI was essentially a CAD program

Clever comment! But wait, is that really the Therac-25 you're thinking of? The Therac-25 was basically just a bug-trap of assembly language race conditions, that's all.

There was another similar case of a radiation machine in which the dose was supposed to take into account the shield. The user could draw the shield with a CAD-like plannning program. The users tried to draw a shield with a cutout, and the CAD display led them to believe that the shapes were being subtracted. (The filled path was drawn with the in-out rule or whatever.) The actual dose calculation though ignored this and added the negative area as a positive. Whoa, you have lots of shielding, crank up the radiation! Or something like that.

This is not actually the radiation machine but the treatment "planning" software. (It meets the definition of CAD: it's computer software, and it's assisting in the design of something: the treatment.)

Gee what was this? Perhaps that circa 2000 incident in Panama?

The Swedish government agency responsible for statistics do a yearly survey on what people value in their job and by job seekers. Attributes like pay, social status, work environment, safety, and so on is evaluated and then correlated to things like gender.

And yes, there are differences. We could blame it on women for consistently valuating social status higher than pay, or we could blame men for consistently valuating pay higher than social status.

Here is an idea. Lets increase pay for female dominated professions, but lets restrict it to only jobs that has low social status, is risky, and with unfriendly environment. At the same time, lets apply affirmative action to female dominated professions with high social status and low pay, and get a minimum of 40% males.

Those changes would have a almost guarantied effect to eliminate current pay gaps, but would be completely rejected by any feminist group, for the very reason that it would go against the current female and male culture that created the pay gap.
This is an excellent point. If a block with unusually high fees comes up, you'd be well served to try to re-mine it as long as P(win)^(n+1) * fee > P(win) * mining reward, where n equals the number of blocks after the few was published. If you have a 10% chance of earning a block, you could push on for quite a while.

Given that they address it in their statement, I'm interested to see how their FPGA offerings develop in the next few years. FPGAs have a brutal learning curve but sit in a yet unscaled power efficiency niche. Could we see FPGA VPS in the future if Intel's backing them?

The argument that React will be heavier than your own implementation is clearly true.

The argument that it'll take less time to develop, document, and test your own implementation than to take advantage of the React ecosystem is clearly untrue.

As the public demands higher quality images and video, code weight matters less and less. If you're not serving up 3mb+ of high-res images and/or video and making multiple AJAX calls, your site is highly specialized and outside of the mainstream. It's not an insult or a judgement, it's an easily verifiable fact by looking at Alexa ratings.

If you need to save 50-100kb that badly, use a slightly smaller image file or a slightly shorter video, don't add hundreds to thousands of hours of dev time. And if you're developing for mobile, do as much server-side rendering as you can and add a debounce for potentially costly operations, it's really not that hard.
Diffie-Hellman is a key-exchange protocol. If two people want to exchange some encrypted information, they first need to share a secret key to do the encryption with. The problem is, they can't just send the key in plain-text, since any eavesdroppers would get the key too.

Diffie-Hellman gets around this by having each side share only part of a key, while keeping the other part secret. Both sides can then mix their own secret part with the other side's shared part to derive a common encryption key. An eavesdropper can't learn anything, though, since they only see the shared parts, not the critically-important secret parts.

The Diffie-Hellman algorithm comes in several different flavors. The current state-of-the-art is ECDH, which is fast and uses small keys. The problem is that ECDH only provides security against classical computers. If an eavesdropper has access to a big 256-bit quantum computer, they can work backwards from the shared parts to learn the encryption key.

Big quantum computers don't exist yet, but they might one day. Therefore, cryptographers are busily searching for alternatives to ECDH that don't have quantum weaknesses. We have some alternatives already, but they are either slow or require enormous keys.

This paper shows a way to do quantum-resistant Diffie-Hellman in a way that is significantly faster and smaller than anything we have see so far. It's still a lot slower than the best ECDH (~50 million vs ~50k cycles), and they keys are still a lot bigger (751 bytes vs 32 bytes), but it's still really impressive progress. Many of the alternatives have keys measured in KB or MB, which is obviously impractical.

If they had read the rest of the post, they would have seen that their argument was addressed.

The best way to lose weight is to fast. People are so accustomed to not going without food for a few hours it becomes a phobia. Our ancestors did not live like this.

If you practice fasting long enough, you'll eventually get used to your stomach being empty, and it won't bother you anymore. Then it becomes trivial to lose weight.

I eat only one meal a day, and I don't even notice it when its been over 24 hours I have gone without food. As an added benefit, I can have an absolute feast everyday, including a large dessert, without gaining any weight.
Meteor is a great stepping stone to the more complicated JavaScript ecosystem of node/react/angular/webpack etc. I was a huge fan of it when I first started web development, but all its limitations caused me to switch over to using the above mentioned technologies.

The point of React isn't its performance (though that is nice). The point of React is the simplicity and composability of functional components.

You can create this on your own of course (and I have), but the solution of "just use the DOM" ignores an enormous amount of progress that React made with component design, not performance.
React calls itself "a JavaScript library for building user interfaces", which I think is accurate.

> This is partly the fault of the FSF having poor communication, of course.

You've highlighted here one of the biggest reasons why the FSF is demonized. The organization has made and continues to make significant contributions to computing. It also sounds like many people who volunteer there also realize the need to compromise in order to move forward.

However, the FSF itself, as a few pointed out belief, is an organization focused on it ideology. While making good software is important for it to advance its agenda, the simple fact is how you say something is just as, if not more than, important as what you are saying. The message comes off just as bad as many fundamentalist religious organizations. That's going to drive away a lot of people, many of whom would agree if the message was marketed better.
