Right, so the reason all these banks run extremely expensive HFT divisions is to guarantee the best possible price to their customers. Got it. I'm glad they have our back! /s

As someone who has actually seen the scenario described above play out, I'm not so sure: stock doesn't move for minutes at a low volume time of day, the moment I place my limit order the price is suddenly higher than my limit; rinse and repeat. I've seen this happen enough times to make me believe Reg NMS is just another regulation they've found a plausible deniability around (BTW, before you tell me "prices going up when you place a big order is how the market works", I've tested this with 100 share orders, so there was no order split going on. I still got priced out.)

That sounds nice to me, and I like Biden, but I'm not sure this is accurate. Democrats had a Clinton/Biden matchup in 2008, and Biden came up short by a mile. A lot has happened since then with Clinton, both good and bad, but I think it's closer than it sounds.

I don't think they actually get to drive the train then, just get the press the close door button on the panel. The train still drives to the next station without any human input.

Most automatic trains can't be driven by humans under normal circumstances because signaling information is fed to the train far faster than any human could react to it.
You missed something really (horrendously) special then. It was much worse 25-30 years ago. I grew up in Northern California, but have relatives that live in LA, so we visited regularly.
I despise this hackneyed and arrogant reddit chide. HN has excellent moderation, but it's not such a bastion of quality discourse that breaking forum etiquette merits shitting on another community via rhetorical comparison. This site is regularly host to some terribly low-quality discussions that really only differentiate themselves from reddit insomuch as they are lacking in humor. I'm glad that HN tends to moderate out the noise, but this HN trend to invoke reddit as an insult just seems pretentious.

if a coworker asks me for my personal phone number or email address, something is up. there is a reason they arent using official company provided communication. asking for my phone number sounds like explicit "move this off the record."
Agreed. However once the conversation goes private it's just that - a private non work related conversation. Unless there's anything illegal there like physical threats etc it's a private matter between the parties directly involved.
Excellent article on the oral history form of reporting and story telling. Of course every person's first person narrative contains bias, but the bias adds a richness that the journalist cannot achieve.
Off topic:

I attended a school with little to none "secular" education, but I was by nature really curious about things.

At some point, I got my hands on "How Stuff Works", the book[0], and devoured it. It was a super-enlightening book. I'd even venture to say it set me on my autodidactic path to programming.

If this book serves the same purpose for someone as that book did for me, it's benefits cannot be overstated IMO.

As an extra bonus, I was considered by my peers to be far more knowledgable than I actually was, due to having a layman's understanding (or at least the appearance thereof) of _so many_ esoteric concepts. 10/10 would read again!

My sister almost drowned as a 2-year-old kid. She was standing on the bottom of a 5ft pool. From above the surface, she looked like somebody just standing there, seemingly without being in distress. Other people in the swimming pool were making the usual noise, so everything seemed normal. Fortunately, my mom discovered her in time and she alerted me to get her out of the water.

It is hopeless to expect voluntary transparency by the government...

Well, not only that, but transparency rules create certain perverse incentives. If all emails are discoverable, for example, then people will simply tend to shift their meaningful conversations to the phone.

well... HN does kinda have a start-up/tech focus. It'd make sense to moderate in a way that kept people "on topic". If you want general discussion there are better places for that.
I almost drowned in the ocean. Yeah it didn't look like drowning. It would have looked like someone bobbing up and down, maybe diving to look under water. There were people on the beach sunbathing and playing, they didn't notice. My wife saw and understood what was happening and yelled for help. So she saved my life.
Is this the best defense available?

It's not a defense, it's a counter to the idea that "if anyone else did this, they'd be fired and charged". Obviously that's not true, because (as noted in the comment to which you replied) others did it and no one was fired or went to jail.

PageRank is analogous to this type of music discovery if you created a graph based on artists who have collaborated together. It'd be about the same as having a teleportation vector that always restarts the random walk back at the artist you're wanting to explore around.
Comparing Google Cloud and AWS on Ease of Use
> Have you ever worked in a government secure environment? Regardless of the politics, if anyone else other than her had done this they would have been fired on the spot, and had possible charges brought depending on the outcome of the investigation.

Can you be specific with what this means? I hear this comparison all the time yet it never seems to be articulated.

What did she do that would lead her to have been fired "on the spot"?

My understanding is that neither state.gov nor "Hillary email server" are "secure" for classified information. And it seems like over the course of investigating "Hillary email server" ~20 emails have been identified as containing information that should have been considered "Top Secret".

But that poses the question - why was that information being emailed around at all? Who sent it? Who is liable? How did it get on email systems connected to the open web?

Or is there just a certain level of classified information that is expected to be mishandled over the course of time?

And is this like information that is being directly copied from clearly classified reports? Or is this accidental references to topics that should not be discussed in email messages sent over the open web?

I imagine these are all questions are being confronted by the FBI. But it seems pretty common to encounter comments along the lines of yours: Hillary is definitely in the wrong and every one knows it. But I do not see that yet.
Is parsing json still an ugly mess? That was what put me off actually using it for anything.

Lots of women love playing hard to get. They enjoy the chase. Giving up can be perceived as a sign of weakness. In any case, try explaining this situation to a real victim of rape or sexual harassment like my late grandmother who had to endure brutal, forceful rape at a young age as a Jew in Lithuania during WW2 and you'll see what a first world problem this is.
The supposed beliefs are not the best way to look at the distinction, especially sociologically - that's like examining Catholic / Protestant split through the lens of their position on transubstantiation.

Far more interesting is the way in which they, eg, handle selection of clergy, or marriage patterns.

Shia clergy for instance is far more hierarchical than Sunni, which arguably is better for social stability since it avoids as many random yahoos deciding they have a hotline to god, who incidentally wants them to go on jihad.
I think everyone is right to be suspicious of payment for order flow, on the surface it does seem hard to get the incentives right.

That said, in your scenario (you were prevented from trading) how does anyone make money? You were (probably) paying for a trade (which did not happen) and you were using infrastructure that costs money (placing orders), and no one was able to trade against you. That is not a great business model...

Also, none of the groups we are talking about are banks.

How Medecision Radically Improved Their Software Delivery
That is not the consensus. The consensus in the grown-up business world is to protect the company. Protect the company from the sexual harassment suit, and protect the company from the wrongful termination suit.

As such, no one will ever fire for cause on the basis of one incident report on a single interaction that occurred away from the workplace. But you can be certain that everyone in the building gets additional harassment training, and management/HR keeps a closer eye on all employees involved: complainants, suspects, and their direct supervisors.

The company then accumulates sufficient pretext on all the involved employees to justify termination of "at will" employment for any one of them, and then waits to see if anyone will end up costing the company money before pulling the trigger.

That is the consensus. It is not fair. It just saves money. As such, I would caution against looking to the consensus when deliberating on the morality or ethics.
First page of the Elm guide covers it pretty well:
http://guide.elm-lang.org/

> No runtime errors in practice. No null. No undefined is not a function.

> Friendly error messages that help you add features more quickly.

> Well-architected code that stays well-architected as your app grows.

> Automatically enforced semantic versioning for all Elm packages.

Curious as to your gut take on the net commercial value of producing an iOS app, i.e. the timeline and effort versus business growth in the context of a small team [as opposed to VC backed startup or enterprise].

Also wondering how a scenario where an iOS app is an extension of an existing project might differ from one where the app is a "greenfield" project.
We found that by maintaining a build cluster with many old releases we tend to keep compatibility issues out of the code. Also, FreeBSD is very good about backwards compatibility so current releases will run these binaries just fine.

However we will update the build targets as needed by users.
My hot take is that a medium like Wikipedia with its naïve penchant for sourcing and attribution is not the best place for astro-turfing and, ironically, un-Correcting The Record.

Hold on, are people seriously saying BSD has no issues with suspend and webcams "just work"?

I used FreeBSD as an FTP server for a few months about five years ago. I just don't see how it's better than Linux in anyway.

Debian, Arch, Ubuntu, Gentoo, RedHat, all have documentation that's just as good as FreeBSD, Gentoo has portage which is basically ports, If BSD was really so much more stable than Linux then it would be more widely used in environments where stability is necessary, Linux dominates pretty much every market that isn't the desktop. Sure some companies use BSD, but in the end Linux dominates because it does whatever task you give it and does it well.

BSD is great, but pretending like it's somehow miles ahead of Linux is just asinine. I'd argue it's miles behind Linux when it comes to most modern tasks.

This assumes the past mirrors the present. Solar panels for example could make Saudi Arabia a major energy power for a very long time frame. Saudi Arabia benefits from a much lower population density and significantly higher GDP per person.

Long term one of the largest questions is how cheap desalination can get. At ~100 gallons per cent both areas can effectively stop being deserts, but current prices of 3 gallons per cent act as a significant economic drain.

PS: In the US the average person directly uses ~90 gallons per day @ 3 gallons per cent that's only ~100$ per year for desalination. However, people use vastly more water indirectly, one pound of beef takes ~1,847 gallons.

They key difference is that when you create an event emitter in JS, you now have a resource to manage. Where does that go in your app? In each component? How does the component know how to turn these off if it is no longer in use? In the root? How does the root know who needs what?

So basically, the difference is in resource management. The web socket example makes this clearer. You never have to ask "who owns the connection?" to use the connection.
To get a Western-style wall between mosque-and-state in historically Muslim societies requires an almost unthinkable rewriting of the social contract.

Islam is not just a religion. It is a very deliberately structured guide for the entirety of society. "Full-stack" social control as we on HN might call it. The Quran is a complete manual that details everything expected and required of a good Muslim, from the food that can be eaten to the appearance of your body.

Trying to make a wedge between Islam and government in these places simply will not work. Many European historians contend that Western state secularism was a direct result of there being no lasting European empire following Rome to enforce religious doctrines (whereas most of the ME has been in the hands of one empire or another since the founding of Islam), and the Protestant Reformation only cemented the expectation among various nobles that they get to rule the world while the church sticks with ruling the soul.

In short, the greater Middle East will always remain governed by religious politics. Something has to fix the mess out there, but excluding religion simply won't work.

Because the rich and powerful have a different set of rules that only apply to them.

We Americans live in a very corrupt system, where the people/corporations in charge have absolute power over all. It's spread out over multiple organizations

We live in a time where the corruption is being exposed, but nobody is doing a damn thing about it. Maybe we are all too afraid of getting jailed, beaten, losing our jobs or killed by "law" enforcers.

Regardless - We must wake up and shine a light on the corruption. Voting will not work, it never has and it never will as long as the corrupt persons are managing the entire system.

You cannot go against this system with violence, they are ready for it & they will use it against you or a form of it (terror, fear).

Only though peace can we achieve change. If you desire change and are not afraid of losing what you have, your life, your loved ones then find peace within yourself. Don't participate in the corruption. Look within. Starting being peaceful in your daily life. You cannot ever expect somebody else to espouse peace, it must come from each individual.

Do no harm to your self or to others. Regardless of what others may do to you.

Love & Peace
I don't know anything about Elm subscriptions yet. But there is a lot more to this stuff then just event emitters.

Things like:

* When an event/action/etc comes through, does it always call listeners synchronously? Can you change that and schedule events manually?

* How do you compose subscriptions/event handlers? This is usually the hardest part, and where simple event emitters really start breaking

* What about the lifecycle of the listener? What happens when it subscribes or unsubscribes? More importantly, what happens when the source that it subscribed to "shuts down"?

All of these things get pretty complicated and is the reason why various fields like FRP exist. Simple event emitters work immediately, yes, but they are a pretty terrible abstraction to build an app on.
> I lost about $1500 in revenues which was never returned.

It does seem like it might be worse that they would use their private address even when they had a .gov, because it's more clearly a distinction. But in the end the effect is the same, if it were additional malfeasance than there would be some evidence of selection of particular topics to go off the .gov address.

Not really sure what the huge difference is in this case.

I almost drowned once in a public swimming pool. I was kicked in the diaphragm by an inconsiderate swimmer while turning and lost my breath, started the typical drowning response.

The worst part about it was that I was only a meter or two from the edge of the pool, but for the life of me, I just could not orient myself to move forward and grab it. All my body was capable of was splashing my arms on top of the water and thrashing my legs to bob up and down vertically and get my breath. Thankfully, pools aren't too deep and I eventually managed to regain my senses, drop to the bottom and push off to the wall.

I was an older teenager at the time, so maybe I had a few more wits about me than younger kids, but it's surprising how little it takes to drown.
Feature set wise this has a number of great advantages over git! It's a shame all of the tools today are so git-centric in some ways
In engineering, there is a phrase "the last 10% is 90% of the work." Much government R&D (which is more "R" than "D") falls into that category. In order to commercialize it, someone has to come along and do that remaining 90%. The patents create an incentive for someone to do that.
Betteridge's Law of Headlines strikes again:

> Q. Do you think that if Clinton is elected we can expect to learn new information about UFOs?

> A. I highly doubt DoD or any other government agency is concealing UFO information.

> Q. Are you certain there is no government cover-up?

> A. It’s impossible to prove the negative, so all I can say is that I never saw any evidence of official interest in UFOs.

> Q. So where does this all leave us, and what is to be done?

> A. In my view, calling for the end to an alleged government UFO cover-up is almost certainly a dead end, and does not help inspire anyone in government to become more open to the topic. The UFO mystery is a scientific problem.

(That's not to say there isn't a UFO cover-up. But we're discussing this article, and the insiders' opinion is that the answer is no.)

There's also a big difference between UFO and Alien Vehicle. A UFO could be a foreign airplane, or satellite, or a weird meteor, or two birds duct-taped together.

From the Lucid Synchrone paper referenced in the article:

"Synchronous languages are based on the synchronous hypothesis. This hypothesis comes from
the idea of separating the functional description of a system from the constraints of the architecture on which it will be executed. The functionality of the system can be described by making
an hypothesis of instantaneous computations and communications, as long as it can be verified
afterward that the hardware is fast enough for the constraints imposed by the environment."

That sounds a lot like how functional programming works in a browser. If you assume function calls take zero time (or can be optimized so they're fast enough) then you end up with event handling and asynchronous I/O. Preemptive multitasking becomes a non-issue. But long-running computations (where you actually want to keep some CPUs busy for a while) need to be handled outside the system.
I think simply rolling distros.
It does - that is the case for the upsell. :)
