No, they are not. In fact they are aggressively defending themselves against the music industry (big-time manager Irving Azoff wrote and open letter yesterday) and claiming everything they do is awesome. Azoff points out their approach is actually more of a strong-arm tactic and, in some respects, an abuse of the DMCA, which YouTube chooses to simply shrug off. It's a contentious issue but making it sound like "poor little ol' YouTube is getting bullied!" is simply wrong, as they have serious profit motive to keep their questionable approach going as long as possible.
> The Islamic Republic of Iran, a Shiite theocracy, claims leadership of the Shiites, which make up roughly 13 percent of Muslims worldwide. For both regimes, religion is an important tool of power.

That is mightily misleading. It is more important what part of the shiites make out of Middle East muslims. Because large parts of the muslim populations live in places like Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, China, Bangladesh - and from bird's eye - they don't seem to care much about sectarian struggles.
I think that US conservatives have a long history of whining about stuff like this.

In the 70s and 80s, the press had a liberal bias, and wouldn't write anything conservative.

In the 90s and early 2000s, colleges and universities didn't hire or promote conservative professors.

The IRS was singling out conservative groups to examine for tax exempt status.

I'm sensing a pattern.
This was them repeating it... they already nailed the Oscars, College Bowl, Stanley Cup, and now the Kentucky Derby.

Lifeguards are sort of a courtesy.

You should be the first one responsible for your own safety when going out swimming.

I used to swim in rivers with no supervision, and obviously I needed to be very careful not to get myself into a situation.
Try selling that to a business guy or client or someone. Possible, but not easy, especially if there's ever a large discrepancy.

> Challenging the Catholic Church and the divine right of kings was unthinkable too, and was a "full stack" social control model.

It also took hundreds of years, and numerous very bloody wars.

> Ideology doesn't do anything. People do things.

What people believe definitely affects what people do. I don't see how you can seriously argue otherwise.
I never said religion is not a political issue in the Middle East, I meant that you cannot simply fix the Middle East by "fixing" religion. You also cannot fix America's dysfunctional government by making it more like Singapore's. Whatever happens must be compatible with the cultures of the people living there, not what outsiders would prefer it to be. Come to think of it, that's a hefty reason the region is such a mess in the first place.

Edit: the Hadiths are continually debated for accuracy and adherence as they have varying levels of perceived legitimacy, somewhat like interpretations of passages in the Christian New Testament.
Almost drowned in a sea as a kid with my whole family on the beach (none could tell anything was wrong), on the bright side learned to swim dog style on the spot.
On #3, I'll just plug Mageia again. I use the KDE version (I know, I know, you didn't want to know) since 2011, and it's the only linux I've ever used that "just works". I've had it on several laptops and a desktop, and haven't once touched a config file by hand. I've more or less forgotten all of my old Linux hand-editing juju.

They're the community-driven spinoff from Mandriva, and they're the only Linux I'd recommend to anyone anymore: https://www.mageia.org/
In which case the responsibility falls on the boss. And the first thing they need to do is get a lawyer. Firing someone without good cause ("I fired them both after she accused him of sexually harassing her") is a BAD idea. You're opening yourself up to suits. The situation, the investigation, it all needs to get documented and reviewed by people who know this stuff.

Once a startup goes beyond some friends/colleagues tinkering in their garage or bedrooms, you need to retain proper staff to handle your various employee situations. You need people that know how insurance works. You need people that understand retirement plans. You need people that understand legal obligations re overtime, travel compensation, etc.

With a small company you can conceivably get away with a handful of lawyers on retainer, or one primary in-house counsel who consults with specialists as needed. But you can't get away without having lawyers and HR people in the long run.
I was saved from drowning in a hotel pool at a very young age before I could swim (in a floating ring I managed to slip out of) because another was noticed me slipping out of it, I basically just sunk and he jumped in while my parents were talking by the poolside. And I've wondered about this before, I always thought it would be very hard to see the difference between playing in the water and drowning, now it's even more unclear to me how to distinguish it. (except when an infant just starts "sinking" like I did)
As an older child I loved playing in the water like this.
Even though I could swim and paddle with my feet I just thought it was fun trying to stay afloat in different ways, mostly just like explained here, "pushing" on the water's surface.
Are there more tips to distinguish playing from drowning? Because this article suggests it's not a "you'll know it when you see it" kind of thing.

What's Bad for iPhone Is Just as Bad for Android – Or Worse
I just want to send a wrecking ball to Washington DC - I'm not really picky which wrecking ball it is (Trump or Sanders).

So while I'd prefer Sanders, its clear to me that there are some fundamental problems with our economy - both of the two wrecking ball candidates have touched on something in common, which is average americans have lost in the balance of free trade - and that government is far more accessible to the rich and powerful than it is to the common man.

In the end, we lived thru 8 years of GWB - and very frankly, I have enough faith in our system of government to feel that its self regulating that we could put pretty much anyone in the office of president and they'd not be able to fuck it up too much.

Yes, I expect to get downvoted for tacit support of Trump.

Ask HN: Housing history of area by zipcode (overtime)?
Hi, Im wondering if anyone knows if you can can historical data of house prices via a zip code.

I know trulia, or realtor.com offer this on a per-house basis, based on a few years back, but i wondered if you could get complete history on some other site?

e.g. a house built in 1949 might have be sold xx times, but trulia only shows say the last 5 years worth of selling/relisting.

Thanks

subscriptions are great for handling black hole callbacks - callbacks that you cannot return back control to the callie.

Examples of this would be web-socket , http-requests , etc.

however elm and cycle.js try to shoe-horn this idea everywhere - which I think is not needed.

Not every event needs to be subscribed to - it pollutes your global stream. Use global stream only when you need to deal with things that move out the execution context of your program.

The royal family is really lacking in the pedigree department. They've married into the right families now, but originally the Sauds were a bunch of hicks. They allied themselves with religious outsiders on the understanding that the priests would legitimize the Saudis (vs. the much better pedigreed Hashemites [1] while the Saudis would give the priests preeminence over their rivals.

I agree the title isn't wrong, but I believe most hacker news readers know who Peter Thiel is. There were many Paypal cofounders, however. A change in the title isn't needed, but would have simplified some things.
The .gov email would have served the exact same purpose of the personal email: unclassified conversations. There are complete separate networks, with separate email addresses, that are for classified discussions. They are completely unreachable from unclassified networks, and would be required to actually have classified conversations.
Yeah the same questions popped up in my head. The natural end point to me looks more like Rx. Lifecycle and especially composition seem like big missing pieces.

You seem to be conflating sexual harassment, which is a work-related tort, with sexual assault and rape, which are very different characters of things.

Yes, sexual harassment involves many things which fall far short of sexual assault. And, sure, maybe those are first world problems -- if you want to run a successful business in the first world, then you shouldn't be surprised by the need to address first world problems.

And, sure, maybe some women like playing hard to get. The existence of those women does not create license to continue to pursue any woman who has turned you in the workplace. Nor does it remove the legal obligation of the employer to address such unwanted pursuit. What you do when pursuing women who are not your coworkers outside of your work environment, so long as it comports with the less restrictive laws applicable in such environments, is your own business.
As it turns out, you just described Limbaugh's opening monologue of the last 10 min.
Doesn't the "was" change who the action applies to? E.g. "John assaulted a date" vs "John was assaulted by a date"? I'm not entirely sure "John was set upon a date" makes sense. Then again, I've never been great with the specific rules of English, even though it's my first language (likely because it's my first language, and I learned it not as rules, but through immersion as a child).
You put events in one end, and it distributes them, reliably and consistently, to distributed end-points that can consume them. That is far more powerful than simply being used to log events for later retrieval, though it can be used for that. I have seen systems using Kafka that process tens of thousands of time-sensitive events a second and distribute them all over the world for independent processing as part of a larger system.
I shouldn't try to be joking on the internet, especially not on HN, anyways, my "eco" comment was meant as a joke, hence the wink.
Also in classical times the 'seat of power' for men was not the penis but the testicles.

Today we equate masculinity and virility with a large penis, but to the Greeks and Romans a large penis had no such connotation.

When you think about it, it makes sense from a biochemical perspective. Without the male testes a man can not produce testosterone which is the key hormone that regulates growth, muscle mass, aggressiveness, competitiveness, vitality, etc.

So it is understandable to think that a larger pair of testes would make you 'more' of a man and a smaller set, less.

Not sure when exactly this change occurred in Western culture but it would be the more interesting question to try to answer.

It might be censorship if facebook were preventing people from posting the stories on each others walls. It might be suspicious if they were tuning the newsfeed algorithm to avoid the stories. But manipulating what stories make it to trending is not censorship. It seems like you are conflating the newsfeed and trending box. The newsfeed is neverending algorithmic magic, the trending box is an editorial masthead controlled "some popular things on our site", that appears in the sidebar. Facebook taking editorial control of the trending sidebar has nothing to do with your ability to configure your newsfeed to suit your desires.

Also, political avocation is marketing and can be spam. Unsolicited "Vote for Ted" emails are spam in my book.

My general feeling about r/the_donald is that it is a perfect example of Poe's Law [1] driving a feedback cycle of continued irrational extremism.

State Department regulations allowed the Secretary of State to use an external email server in their official capacity. As I said, Colin Powell did exactly the same thing, although his reason was because when he came in, State Dept. was woefully behind technologically.

> And then there's intent. One must ask "Why did she request that a separate server be set up?" and then follow her answer to the base of her justification. Why her request? Is her justification valid? Was she ignorant of the ramifications (also bad if you're running for the Presidency)?

These are all good questions. It sounds like she wanted to retain her personal email and be able to field personal business from that same account.

However, as it stands she wasn't required to provide any sort of official justification.

I often wonder if anyone told her how bad this could look for her, and whether she listened or not. I know from people that have worked directly with her that she is not particularly tech-savvy, but that could mean that maybe she thought having a personal server would shield her in ways it cannot, or it could mean that she didn't think it would be a big deal at all. Either way, poor judgement I think.

False. Not on materials created by the CIA, NSA, etc. She would have no authority on those, and those are what everything is about.

The parent asked "What's the best we have?" and I think perhaps internet forums are probably the best tool we have for holding public figures to account right now. I can definitely imagine better tools, but I don't see any that actually exist.
And yet, many historically Muslim societies do have a significant degree of separation between church and state. Turkey - a 99% Muslim society - introduced a secular constitution decades ago, and its secularist policies has seen women barred from political office or even jailed for covering their hair in a religiously-prescribed manner. Similarly, whilst the central Asian states and Muslim parts of China originally had secular government imposed on them by outside powers rather than phased in by indigenous nationalists, there's little doubting the separation of church and state exists.

Sure, I'd be the first to agree that trying to introduce the wedge from the outside is incredibly dangerous and liable to backfire (even though in the long run it worked pretty much everywhere in the Soviet sphere of influence bar Afghanistan). But a large degree of separation of church and state is entirely possible with most of the population remaining Muslim.

And frankly, the degree of separation of religion and politics is often overstated in the West. I mean, I live in a country with govt-funded parochial schools and an actual established church with formal political power... and I'd still consider it to be a society where religion has less influence on politics than the US.
His public service career may have ended, but he got gigs at several private firms, as well as Harvard, Exeter, and several other universities.

I think most people believe it's unlikely Clinton will serve any time for the email lapse; instead, she's considered the front-runner for the White House.

On the other hand, Snowden had to flee the country and, like Assange, he may never be able to set foot in a country with the relevant extradition treaties.

I think the high/low court point still stands.

My guess is that the algorithm doesn't expect to make money out of that particular order, but rather guesses this is a bigger order that is being split (laddered if you will) into multiple small orders at different acceptable limits. The product I used (Interactive Brokers interface) offers that laddering strategy as an option when trying to make big purchases.

Oh, and BTW, order cancellations cost money. Cents, sure, but when you are making money on a 1c spread, you would also benefit from a 1c cancellation.

Other than that, I've been tempted (and many times succumbed) to raise the limit just to get that trade. And then you see the price go up again before your order goes through. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't infuriating.
Actually the surprising thing is getting involved at all. Right now even whiff of support for Trump is toxic.

Everyone that knows about Peter Thiel knows he's an outspoken libertarian, critic of the GOP and DNC, and that's he's homosexual. The surprise isn't that he's not a Democrat (everyone knew that) it's that Trump isn't exactly the libertarian on...any issue (at least not openly.) There is the assumption that Trump will be a major disruption to the establishment, that I have seen some libertarians and liberals both embrace.

I have a hard time believing Thiel actually embraces Trump, and it's more that he was going to be a delegate and will now be legally bound to cast his first ballot for Trump. I am frankly a fan of Thiel, a lot of people here at HN love Musk but I think Musk is a corporate welfare queen; and Thiel is not.

Yeah, after the app grew a bit, I had state scattered here and there. re-frame solves this with a big atom, and avoids expensive rendering every time the big atom updates with subscriptions. Subscriptions hold reactions, which only update if the underlying value changes.

The re-frame readme is epic and worth reading just for its own sake: https://github.com/Day8/re-frame

Not to get off-topic though! I am used to working with dynamic languages, but I really should work with a typed language. Elm looks like it offers many of the benefits of ClojureScript, but with typing as well.

Also, ClojureScript lets you write HTML and CSS in your code, but a quick web search indicates Elm may have gone further with incorporating CSS (?).
to be fair, all these things do not seem to be dependent on this new Subscriptions thing, as in fact they were there even before.

I am sure the new idea is good, but as grandparent said, the examples fail to convey why this is better than what we had before.
