In previous decades "rude" in politics would literally get people killed. Trolling on FB doesn't move the needle in comparison.

As a rue of thumb, if windows, limbs, and necks aren't being broken, the discourse is still relatively civilised.

I don't believe there's evidence to support the idea that there was ever a golden age of mainstream political civility. I think there may have been a golden age of literate and moderated political journalism, but that was always distinct from the kinds of things that happened - and still do happen, in some ways - to people who happen to be in the wrong out-group.
>I am just here to +1 what everyone else is saying: Austria/Germany/etc. != Europe

I'm not from Western Europe either, but it doesn't matter if they don't include us while talking about "Europe".

Most of such articles discuss the cultural core of Western Europe, even if they call it just "Europe". Europe might have 30+ countries, but it's mostly those Western/Northern few that define "Europe" for such purposes.

This stems from a lot of things, but the historical divide of the "Eastern Block" and the "North/South" also helped solidify it. Those Western/Northern European countries were large global empires and they still have the EU power, are big global economies, are members of the G8/G20, etc.

So other countries get the short end of the stick, even if nominally they are "Europe" too.

Portugal or Greece or Czech Republic, etc., might not even exist in most such treatments of "Europe" -- those, when are mentioned, are explicitly called "the south", "balkans", "eastern europe", etc.

Something else that stinks about all this that I haven't seen commented on:

Supposedly, Chris Wright did his ridiculous laptop dance with Gavin Andresen because he didn't want Gavin to leak the signature early.

What a load of crap. These are supposedly real cryptographers we're talking about here. If you ask a cryptographer (including, presumably, Satoshi) how they would prove their identity to someone else such that the other person couldn't leak the proof, the answer doesn't involve airplanes and fishy laptops running dubiously authentic Windows programs. The answer is deniable authentication.

In the bitcoin case, it's trivial. Satoshi's public key is g^p for some p that only Satoshi knows (using multiplicative notation) on a well-known and hopefully secure elliptic curve. You can use this key for ECDSA, but you can also use it for, drumroll please, Diffie-Hellman. Gavin picks a random scalar b and tells Craig Wright g^b. Chris replies with (g^b)^p [1]. Gavin checks that the result is the same as (g^p)^b.

This is deniable: Gavin can trivially make up the transcript of the protocol, so Gavin can't use it to prematurely convince anyone of anything. No airplanes needed.

There are plenty of other ways to do this. Pretty much any zero-knowledge proof of knowledge would work.

[1] In practice, this should be blinded to avoid cross-protocol attacks and relay attacks. Craig could send something like H("Hi Gavin, I am Craig Wright, aka Satoshi Nakamoto" || (g^b)^p). A real cryptographer could double-check me here.

This is probably because the USA is relatively large and there are significant differences between states in terms of culture and industry.

For example, the people of New York probably have very little in common with those of Tennessee.

For example, it's easy for a liberal in Massachusetts to label a conservative in Arizona a "bigot" for wanting to close the border, but the liberal in Massachusetts has probably never experienced the issues of illegal immigration in the way that someone from Arizona has.

This is why I think more power needs to be given to individual states rather than the federal government.

There are other reasons too. Once someone finds an issue in an open-source project, other people realise it's not super secure and start to dig deeper.

I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone who has never used Angular 1.x or 2.x.

I guess the first thing on my mind is: can I make Angular 2 work just like React does? Is there any way to use it without making/(being allowed to make) separate HTML templates and CSS files? If not, this is a serious disadvantage. Having the view layer scattered across 3X the files (vs React) would make it very hard to follow the code in a large project.

Also, are there any real advantages over React that would be big enough for someone to consider pushing for a switch? If so, what are they?

So, in other words, a tagged architecture, except the possible values of the tags are "usable" and "not usable"? Sounds horrible - it's the hardware equivalent of checking at runtime whether a variable is in scope in, say, Python or JavaScript. I don't see any point to checking at runtime what can be known statically.

In actual parts of Europe, kids DID walk 10 (or close) km to school, often uphill, both ways, and not that far back ago. That's not some BS folklore.

Here's a fifties school to get an idea:
http://aromalefkadas.gr/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/68.jpg

This is from around the fifties. The kids aren't doing yoga or something -- they really don't have shoes -- they usually had just an incredibly warn-out pair at most, which they wore as part of their "good outfit" (for going to important events, church, etc).

No school buses -- actually no highways between lots of rural villages until late 60s, and a single school (in the central/bigger village) catering also for 3-4 nearby villages in what could be a 10-20 km radius.

And yes, they also did that with snow.

No, it was actually intended to shake up the two-party system. The Republican party is very weak in many parts of the state, so it's entirely possible (likely even) that that second candidate could be another Democrat, or even a third-party Green or Libertarian candidate. The point is that it encourages the non-majority party to field candidates that appeal to the overall populace, instead of to a narrow interest group (like conservative Republicans in Berkeley).

Our two-party system really doesn't help with the "in or out" mentality either... it's completely permeated our 24/7 media culture and encourages dangerously binary thinking. I wouldn't be surprised to see the system break apart in a couple more years of these increasingly vicious primaries.

I would go one step further and argue that "causation" or "causality" is just a label that we attach to a special kind of correlation. The very concept of causality, it seems to me, is an attempt to impose human logical structures on a messy world that is fundamentally probabilistic.

The universe doesn't guarantee that if P, then Q. At best we can observe that if P at t1, then it is highly likely that Q at t2. We can often simplify that as "if P, then Q", just as we can approximate Einstein's physics with Newtonian physics for low-velocity applications. But at the end of the day, both are only approximations. The clear rules of logic only exist in our head, just as a perfect circle doesn't exist in reality.

If so, whether correlation implies causation is the wrong question to ask. A more important question is what kind of correlations we usually take to imply causation. We're probably looking at correlations that hold exclusively between two sets of events with an extremely high probability, with the right sort of temporal relationship. We could then say that those kinds of correlations simply are what we mean by causation, because there really is nothing else to say.

Once upon a time, most philosophers thought that the mind was some immaterial substance separate from the brain. Now many of us believe that certain functions of the brain are the mind. Perhaps we could apply a similar reductionism to the issue of correlations and causations, too.

Exercise really is great and should be tried before anything else. It's the only thing that I've found that works for me in a reliable, safe way. As far as SSRIs and Wellbutrin (which is not an SSRI like the chart states), I can confirm that after about 8 months or so, I did indeed have unprecedented thoughts of suicide and no longer cared about living much. I can also confirm meeting many doctors who were extremely eager to prescribe it after as little as 5 minutes of getting to know me (I declined). Basically, taking SSRIs was indeed one of the worst decisions of my life and almost cost me my life. So I stick to exercise now.
There's been a lot of work on these still-in-development systems in the last half year, meanwhile xray has been in production for half a decade. I think that answers your question.

"This is the first release candidate that contains repackaging of Angular into individual packages one per each feature area. ... This changes how Angular is installed via npm and how you import the code"

This seems like a pretty big change to include as part of the first RC??

Was There Always an England?
I realize a lot of companies flocked to Angular and it's used in a lot of places, but from the outside it seems to be fighting on two fronts.

1. Companies currently implementing it not wanting it to change or for there to be a quick and painless migration from 1.x to 2.x. So, less change, more hand-holding. The web changed a lot though, so its change is understandable.

2. Trendsetters and upcoming companies looking for something new fresh and solid: Framework competition from React and the like. Maybe that second group is a lot louder in certain circles, startup-y hackernews being one, but it sounds like Angular will eventually reside in the shadow of React if it stays that way for long. Google pulling the plug on things fairly commonly doesn't help with the uncertainty.

Just seems like anytime Angular comes up in conversation, React isn't far behind. This post is no exception I guess, I just can't see Google maintaining Angular if it becomes Dojo in the eyes of developers.

I tend to be a bit more pragmatic.

The human race is composed of neither angels nor devils: but humans. Beings with flawed and incomplete morality. Its best if we judge ourselves by comparing against the actions of our fathers, otherwise we may lose ourselves in idealism.

The claim after all, is that the current time is the most prosperous and peaceful time of all of human existence. And as far as I can tell, actual history agrees with this fact.

Don't believe me? Go back to the root comment if you've forgotten the claim: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11610816

You may be worried about a few thousand innocent deaths here and there, but again, that number is much much MUCH much smaller than the historical norm. But in any case, your idealism is a good thing. It is only further proof that we as a race are beginning to forget the horrors of war, because peace has existed for so long.

(Of course, some humans still exist in war-torn areas. Syrian and Iraqi refugees. And I am peace-loving and idealistic enough that I believe we should open up our country to these people, despite the risks. )

One can use the @Component decorator with the template & style options - currently it seems to be the norm to do so, at least until the template compiler is understood more widely (it is pretty fresh), although long term having the template and styles in the same file probably will not be sustainable for more complex components.

Angular 2 has some serious perf advantages over anything else out there, reportedly up to 2x React in some scenarios (i.e. repaint perf). It also is set up for incremental rendering, as opposed to React's blocking rendering loop, which can allow for more flexible UX. With the new bundling system for Angular 2, I believe it is currently a fraction of the size of React (I think the Angular team achieved < 10 KB app framework size, although I haven't checked out the new npm packages to be sure).

React wins out on simplicity though, including how simple it is to communicate between components. React is also currently a lot more mature, with a much more mature third party ecosystem.

Edit: I stand corrected on the size, but the 10 KB minified & gzipped is the Angular team's goal I remember reading.
