So Elm is only usable for new projects (or rewrites from scratch) and can't be "tried out" if you have some existing mess of a code and want to replace some especially ugly chunk of it (or write a new feature) - just to see how it goes?

I should preface this with the declaration that I'm not trying to start a debate about which presidential candidate to vote for. People get really touchy about that -- I'm just talking about the logic that you are criticizing, because I don't think it's particularly sad.

I don't see why even your characterization of the situation is "deplorable." Let's accept that Clinton is a "criminal" -- that doesn't necessarily disqualify her for public office, so the question becomes whether it bothers voters enough to matter. Personally, I think Donald Trump would be the worst president in the history of the United States. I have lots of opinions about lots of politicians, but he's probably the only one that I'm genuinely scared of.

I'd prefer almost anybody over Trump -- that Clinton may have broken federal laws is just another bullet point in the pros/cons list. I'd have voted for Eugene Debs while he was literally in prison, and hundreds of thousands of people did.[1]

People bemoan the whole "lesser of two evils" thing, but I always wonder: What's the alternative? I'm not saying that I give up on improving the system, because there's a lot that could be improved. But "lesser of two evils" is just a negative way of saying "my preference."

Politicians have a zillion positions, you're never going to agree with one 100% -- and if you do, great, but that means there are literally millions of other people who don't. You pick the one who gets the government a step closer to what you want it to be.

After a bit of poking around, this is perhaps a kernel bug that is fixed in 4.4.8

You could try upgrading your kernel if you're feeling adventurous. If that is the issue, it will probably be backported at some point though.

Iran and the Persian people have a long and illustrious history, with deep culture going back as far as human history and a (relatively) vibrant scientific community. They have a lot of natural resources and the firmament for a real long sustaining culture.

Saudi on the other hand is very "new" to the world in terms of culture and influence, only coming into prominence since the 1940s oil boom. The harsh environment isn't hospitable to living there without extreme energy use.

Both obviously have major regional economic power, but the Saudi society is built on sand (literally and metaphorically). In the very long term Iran's importance will come back so if anything the US and the broader world should be seeking to engage more with Iran and less with Saudi IMO.

That's not getting into a lot of the political stuff obviously, more just an analysis of the "fundamentals."

This is an important caveat to my comment.

We don't know how many of Clinton's top IT aide's e-mails were official government records.

Speculation & Proposition: Since he worked to set up an extra-governmental private server which could potentially be used to hide governmental records, that number should be strictly greater than zero.
Doesn't do it for me. It leads to confusion in a couple different contexts. I think we should be open to intelligently refactoring our language, instead of being slaves to organic change.
After the Microsoft anti-trust trial, people started to realize just how much information there was in an email history log. Later trials just hammered it home.

In response, everyone added a chapter to their document retention policy to cover emails. Emails are typically kept for 1 year, with exceptions for specific named individuals (CEO, Member of Parliament, Senator, Secretary of State, you get the idea). Secretary of State's retention period seems to be 30 years [3].

Individuals would be able to mark a document to be kept, but that's the exception rather than the rule.

As soon as a court case where a person is mentioned starts, that person's documents are typically retained regardless of schedule - destroying docs that might be material is really frowned upon by the courts.

All of this is typically mediated by a custom document retention server which costs a lot of money.

The state department has a document retention policy [1], and I think this section [2] covers email. It lists retention at TEMPORARY:

Transitory Files (including in electronic form)
TEMPORARY: Destroy immediately, or when no longer needed for reference, or
according to a predetermined time period or business rule (e.g., implementing the
auto-delete feature of electronic mail systems).

There might be something specific, but they all seem to be 1-2 years.

With that in mind, let's look at this specific situation. The controversy started in March 2015. That puts Feb 2013 - the date the RNC is saying marks the end of the period they want revealed, outside of the document retention window (Controvery Start - 2 years).

However, once asked you have to _search_ for a record. So the State Department would have searched through backups, there may be an old tape sitting around containing a backup of his personal computer. Nope, they couldn't find a copy of the PST (Microsoft Exchange or Outlook!). They would have found emails that he was party to where the other person was on a longer retention schedule.

They may still find others if he sent emails to departments that don't have retention policies.

Since this is a government department, all of this is defined by statute - it's up to Congress to set the time periods. If they want it changed, they need to pass a bill and then fund it because document retention is expensive (think format conversion).

Finally, I understand that finance companies (stock traders) have additional retention requirements, even covering chat/SMS/etc messages.

There is no cover up here, just proper application of good policy.

>>Information is born classified, markings are irrelevant. Clinton had to sign a document affirming her understanding of this in order to gain access to classified information in the first place.

Exactly. I really wish the whole "it wasn't classified at the time" argument would die already.

You need to listen to guy's side of story.
When I first came to this country, people told me never ever date anyone from work. I was focused on my career and too scared to mess up. I met some wonderful people at work, we made friendships, and some are still friends.

But sadly I took that advice too closely to my heart. Many of my crushes ended up dating someone else at work or outside. Some even found their life partners at work. It seemed only I followed this advice. As introvert, it was hard for me to meet people outside of work context.

The guy probably had no clue that he was making her uncomfortable. He needs training, not a life time of loneliness.
If somebody says "it is obvious that this is illegal and the person should be in jail," and then somebody else says "well all these other people did it and they we're scrutinized for it but didn't go to jail," then perhaps the reasonable thing to conclude is that it is not an act that somebody should go to jail for.

I mean, that's the only thing I can conclude. If you're assuming a priori that there's a crime, then you're putting the cart before the horse.

When you're assuming that counter points can only come from some sort of paid posters, you're being disrepectful.

This is why political topics are bad in HN. There's no news for nerds in here, just lots of people playing fast and loose with the facts to score political points.
I don't remember it by date or size or maybe even source. That's just parroting what we do now. I remember that I printed it. That could easily be a tag. The tags need not be created by me; the tools could be promiscuously tagging persistent data all the time, with useful clues. I'd learn some clues, learn to use them.

That 'my documents' thing - you could easily create a 'view' on tags that yielded that result. Without relying on Microsoft or whomever to do it for you.
Why I chose to delete my Facebook account – Sean Lim
Not completely clear to me what you mean by "calculated to be true", but you may want to look at the difference between computational and statistical zero knowledge. A computational ZK proof hides the witness from computationally bounded (i.e. probabilistic polynomial time) adversaries. Statistical ZK, on the other hand, hides the witness from any adversary, even if they can carry out an unbounded amount of computations (there are slight subtleties there depending on the precise security model but that's the basic idea).
For 3., I've been interested in the same. How would it work though? Would it include non-free components, or be open source? If it's open source, why would the majority of people pay?

I say this as someone who would definitely pay. I'd love to see something like an XPS developer edition, but with a (relatively) coherent graphics paradigm like OS X.
> *BSDs for the last few years I take for granted releases "just working".

That is true. There are unexplained caveats however, such as you'd need to know, for example, not to give the full disk to ZFS, because if you encrypt it, and you're not aware you need to do an off-machine metadata backup, after a power loss, you're screwed.

Linux distros may not always be perfect on release (hell, they are usually pretty shitty on release), but I never lost data like with FreeBSD before in the past 10 years of using linux.
Something I'm wondering and the man page doesn't clear, does it track files across renames or does it only track content like git?

But this is for their "brokerage" service, not their mutual fund arm. Vanguard being a big brokerage should mean its less directed and more diverse (and therefore more valuable) than a small brokerage.

Though Vanguard probably (I don't know this) also uses at least one of these firms for their execution services on the mutual fund side as well, if only because that is the cheapest way to get good execution rates. I wouldn't be surprised if they pay for this, not get paid for it though.

No.

I'ts incredible how many businesses revolve around this, you have the obvious ones like Lexus Nexis, but even more in the housing space you have the regional MLS's sole purpose of existence is to be the keeper of the data. Again in the housing space companies like First American just index the public records data. I can't say just because it's on an API with good documentation there's anything positive to come from paid access to open data. It's just a business model that seems wrong.
> the NSA doesn't have a domestic email archive or even domestic email envelope metadata

"Eventually, the NSA gained authority to "analyze communications metadata associated with United States persons and persons believed to be in the United States", according to a 2007 Justice Department memo, which is marked secret."

"The system has the capacity to reach roughly 75% of all U.S. Internet traffic in the hunt for foreign intelligence, including a wide array of communications by foreigners and Americans. In some cases, it retains the written content of emails sent between citizens within the U.S. and also filters domestic phone calls made with Internet technology."

> purposely disclosing classified information like Snowden did will result in prison

Not necessarily. General Petraeus purposely handed over documents to his biographer / girlfriend, and he got nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

It seems again to be a high court / low court thing. If you're important enough, your crimes get you lesser sentences, but if not, they throw the book at you.
Apologies, when I was talking about horizontal scaling I meant compared to other NoSQL databases[1].

The biggest selling point of NoSQL databases really is increasing performance and horizontal scalability due to removing some guarantees that RDBS provides. With MongoDB you get neither of the advantages.

Generally with Postgres you can't scale easily, unless you only do reads, but postgres outperforms MongoDB. You can get some marginal improvement by running multiple MongoDB nodes, but a single Postgres will still outperform it.

Also with benchmarks like this, it is often overlooked that in a relational database you often can store data in a smarter way and get extra boost of performance.

For example in my previous job we had 3 MongoDB which were used for mapping IP address to a zip code. Those databases were 12GB each. They run on a beefy instances in AWS because they wanted to make sure all the data could fit in RAM.

I did a POC and put the same data in Postgres and it essentially was just 600MB of data. All queries were sub milisecond, on smallest instance.

How come? Well in Postgres I stored ranges of IPs using ip4r extension. And put an GiST index which works with ranges. Mongo did not understand IP addresses so what they essentially did is they computed every possible IPv4 address and stored it into 64 bit integer, then they placed an index which probably was bigger than the data itself.

Their solution also won't scale with IPv6.

If the new welding method is developed enough to patent, but possibly not enough to mass produce new welding equipment, then it will require an investment from someone to get it into use outside the laboratory. Being able to license them a patent provides a greater incentive to make that investment. It's possible for an idea to be simultaneously an improvement, cheap in the long run, and also require an up-front investment that might never be made back without a guarantee of monopoly.

I can't judge how frequently this occurs, but it seems reasonable.

Here is the thing, I don't disagree with you. But the facts in this case point to something different. If were working with your analogy, then my car got taken apart (every last bolt and nut is on the side of the road). The people in the car with me have been investigated... Still found nothing, keep investigating.

At what point does an investigation become a witch hunt? At what point does an investigation become waste? I think were at that point (or just slightly past) it.

The investigation has revealed some rather alarming things about our government:

1. The government doesn't have it's shit together when it comes to archiving email. Go figure, we all knew there was waste there but this is worse than any decent nerd ever expected.

2. Our classification system is a mess. The fact that we can retroactively classify something is INSANE. Documents got out that you don't like, classify them, then prosecute any journalist who writes about them.

3. The number of people recently (not just in clintons case) who have immunity for testimony is amazing. In the case of clinton it looks like there was/is some wrongdoing on the part of the staffer who RECEIVED immunity. We all understand this is a prisoners dilemma problem, but there are external ethics that we don't often think about: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2378070 -- and this doesn't even factor in outside actors (us) who are harmed by the crime.

4. After Chelsea/Bradley Manning(see note) released all the cables, it apparently had ZERO impact on the IT culture at the state department. You would think that after an issue like that, things would have been on lockdown, but apparently government doesn't learn from its mistakes.

Why isn't any one screaming on high about these things?
