Well yeah, if you say your intellectual curiosity is fulfilled with discussions about why male genitalia is so small on statues then I'll just take your word for it. But considering the graveyard of comments on this post, I'll have to just say I could do without it. Enjoy your penis posts.
I like the Songza (rolled into Google Play Music) themed playlists, eg "It's Tuesday Morning , play something for focusing/working out/spring cleaning". Usually there is something within one of the suggested categories I'll listen to.
Yeah this irony is not lost on me. But in both cases, the companies acted in self interest. Neither had the guts to walk away from their existing revenue stream. It's hard to say what would have happened.

It's been an interesting ride and if nothing else, BK was the inspiration for Git and Hg, that's a contribution to the field. And maybe, just maybe, people will look at the SCCS weave and realize that Tichy pulled the wool over our eyes. SCCS is profoundly better.
This reminds me of ensemble. Most machine learning techniques benefit in accuracy and precision by ensembling different methods. More different the methods are (variance) better improvement you get.
For something like a train I would think you'd want one or more humans babysitting it all the time no matter how automated it is. Thousands of people would ride it every day, all the time, even if it is 100% automated what would be the point in cutting that particular corner? Saving labor costs on conductors are probably not worth it for insurance reasons alone, even if the conductor sits around twiddling his thumbs all day long.

Just going to list cultures smashed to pieces by imperialism and then blamed for being too dumb and lazy to fix their own problems:

India (British imperialism), pre-Communist China (forcible opium addiction, mercantile conquest), Native Americans (disease, conquest), West Africa (slave trade), freed American slaves (no acres, no mule, no vote), Middle East (Sykes-Picot, British Petroleum, Bush Administration).

Serious question: Why? Google might be subject to pressure since they also sell licensed media on the side, but what's to stop an independent from saying something along the lines of

"We're the host here, we're subject to DMCA safe harbor, either file a proper claim (to be evaluated by our counsel to avoid bogus complaints from a Mr. Russel, first name Jimmy) or get lost."

Even with the 10 days wait and counter-notice, this is strictly better than the nonsense system Youtube uses where people can have their content pulled down by trolls with no consequences.
Peter Thiel Backing Donald Trump
That would be exactly what people would suggest, because they know from experience the "blowhard from marketing" will screw things up so badly, that the only viable option will be to start over with a clean slate. And that's exactly what's needed for a "large software project that was going awry" but it's always easier to say patch this here, tweak it there. Only when you can no longer patch and tweak yourself to anything functional will people actually clamor for a clean break.

That's why they vote for Trump. Nobody expects him to fix anything. They expect a clean slate at some point. Whether it's during his tenure or after, it's irrelevant. He's the catalyst.
Not necessarily. You don't need to put it all in, while a big one reaches further...
oh. i did not mean it as an insult. i really thought i was reading a reddit thread :(
I wonder if Thiel is still as enthusiastic about Trump after The Donald's recent comment about printing money to pay off the national debt.
They can't agree on anything because the national Republicans have been captured by the tea party, who has in turn now been captured by the Trumpists. Both events were based on newcomers to the political process claiming that the system is broken beyond repair, and that they were the needed "Wrecking Ball".

The tea party managed to scuttle Obama's "Grand Bargain" with Boehner, which consisted of TEN TRILLION DOLLARS of spending cuts in return for one trillion in new revenue (taxes). In my mind, this is when the national republicans ceased to be a rational force, in others' minds it could be the blowup over our debt ceiling or the government shutdowns, but regardless most rational observers with an understanding of the political process would agree that the right has lost its mind because of capture by revolutionaries. A Trump administration would bring far worse (just this week he suggested that he'd be open to partial default on US government debt). It's basically a self-reinforcing cycle of crazy where bad outcomes from bad decisions cause irrational actors to make worse decisions in response.

So the reason the two parties can't agree on anything is that there's really only one party, and that's the Democrats. This is problematic, because our political system is based on having two parties, either of which could be trusted to provide reasonably responsible governance.

The United States is, despite the apocalyptic rhetoric, a strong nation with a relatively stable government and an economy that is literally the envy of the world. We certainly do have problems, and that is what "politics as usual" is designed to fix. So I urge you to play the game rather than try to kick over the table.

Neither HAVING nor GROUP BY are part of the relational model, though. Really, aggregation isn't part of the traditional relational model. People just tend to associate it with RDBMSes.
Visual Studio seems to be moving in this direction: I've noticed a .vs folder and the .suo seems to live in it for now. I guess more and more will be moved into it as time goes on, but considering the .gitignore contains VS6 ignores we'll probably be stuck with the large file forever.
> "What would you know about that? You joined less than a year ago."

I joined a little more than 200 days before you, and my wife was here a year before me. She was here just at the end of the "mostly startup and programmer focused" era (she got to experience Erlang Day -- FWIW, here's a thread from 8 weeks after you joined that references both Erlang Day and too many stories about non-hacker topics: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1919897 ).

"This isn't about programming WTF" has been a complaint on HN for a long, long time. To the degree that the HN guidelines explicitly say that topics don't have to be about programming and startups, they just have to be "intellectually gratifying". Cultural perceptions of sexuality and gender as expressed in art are an intellectual topic (though they do tend to attract boring, uninsightful, crude commentary, as seen in the wall of grayed-out comments at the bottom of the page.)

> I usually point out that oil&gas get a tremendously larger amount of subsidie

Oil and Gas do not get direct subsidies, they get to write off capital expenses. That's completely different.

You can downvote me all you want, but writing off capital expenses is available to every business and this is always included in the "oil and gas subsidies" number people tout, because it fits an agenda of corporate welfare for everyone else. Corporate welfare should be abolished. The Oil & Gas sector did get a bailout in the early 90s, and it shouldn't have. The auto industry also shouldn't have been reaped rewards from government bailouts.
> plain old Sunni Islam

It depends on your definition of "plain old". If you are referring to that some people choose not to follow the violent part of sunni Islam, then you are correct. However, under the normal definition of "plain old", Wahhabism is the plain old sunni Islam as Islam was 1400 years ago.
So, it's trolling if you use a Socratic dialogue to peddle falsehoods, but not trolling if you use it to tell truths? Who is the arbitrator of truth?

I think of trolling more as the method of argument, rather than the content. And in this way, Socrates was a troll. It just so happens that not all trolls are bad. They just have a bad label.

An interesting (but superficial) observation of the list of Canadian officers is how about 30-40% of the names sound Chinese while they represent only about 10% of the total population:

https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/search?c=CAN&cat=1&e=&j=&q=&u...

This must be a common tax/business strategy among Asian communities in Canada. Possibly due to the very large amount of Chinese real estate investors in Canadian properties in Vancouver and Toronto.

I suspect this would be enough to throw off recent statistics I've heard that claim the Chinese real estate investor boom is a 'myth' [1]. It's possible they just route the transactions through local shell companies so any surface level investigation into the buyers would make it appear that they are local.

"...over a hundred FBI agents are working hard night and day, one supposes..."

NBC says there are 12 FBI agents working on the case:

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fed-source-about-12-fbi-...

"Fed Source: About 12 FBI Agents Working on Clinton Email Inquiry".

Undoubtedly they are a hand-picked group (although whose hand did the picking, I don't know).

Furthermore I fear that FBI agent Comey is in Clinton's pocket/corner. Comey gave Hillary Clinton a bye in the Whitewater investigation:

Comey has done well in his career in the years since Whitewater.

Thiel is a libertarian. If you're up for reading... http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2007/12/why-i-a... dives into some differences. The key one IMO being that no neoreactionary should actually vote. Trump is of course the obvious best candidate from one branch of the NRx perspective, but him taking office doesn't fundamentally change things. Another branch of NRx could argue Hillary is the "best", too, but the reasoning may be surprising.

The underlying reason for which I think Thiel might support Trump is that Trump is ultimately a businessman, like Thiel, and one in the messy business of real estate development at that. (For a fun fairly anti-Trump piece that could also read as support: http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/03/19/book-review-the-art-of-...) A common NRx thread is that pretty much any chief executive (which includes military generals) would do a better job at being President (and even better King) than the more traditional list of possibilities like lawyers and professors.
8 tips for a happy development team
"Set upon" can mean either "to begin to attack" or "to cause to begin to attack", although in the latter case the target of attack goes between "set" and "upon":

The dog set upon the cat. (began to attack the cat)

The person set the dog upon the cat. (caused the dog to begin to attack the cat)

The second meaning could make sense in the original sentence with John being the attacker, a date (fruit) being the target of attack, and an unspecified party being the one who caused John to attack. In this case there is a past-tense passive with "was" + the past participle of the verb (like "was liked", "was seen", "was taken"), but the past participle of "set upon" is identical to the present form, so "was set upon" means either "was attacked" or was caused to attack. But only the second meaning is plausible when followed by "a date", as opposed to "by a date".

"John was set upon a date" → John was caused to attack a date

"John was set upon by a date" → John was attacked by a date

This reminds me that phrasal verbs really are one of the trickiest things in English. Some of my non-native speaker friends have several books just about this topic, because it's so subtle and pervasive in English.

It's not their personal lives. It was in work time, initiated through work channels. And even if it was at a bar after work, it would still be rude and indicative of the kind of personality you don't want at your company. Waiting for him to slip up and hoping someone will report it is a horrible solution.

They don't. They run them to make a profit off the spread.

The purpose of order internalization is to trade against uninformed participants (Joe 401k), without risk of accidentally trading against bigger informed players (Bill Ackman). If you are trading against uninformed players, your risk is lower and you need to offer a better price to get order flow.

I'm not at all surprised Magento is number 3. I've never seen anything so simultaneously overly- and poorly-engineered.

Maybe version 2 fixes some of these issues, but Magento 1.x is awful.

>If an idea is good, monopoly is icing, but not required for its adoption.

I would amend this to say that if an idea is obviously very good, and has an obviously large market, then monopoly is icing. The inventions that you described fit this description, but 99% of inventions do not. It's more likely that your invention is either a small part that might contribute to a big improvement in a major industry, or a complete invention that could make a big difference in a market that doesn't exist yet. In either case, a company might not want to invest the resources to find out if your invention is useful just to have their competitors copy them once the proof-of-concept is available.

>Do US Gov patents require that manufacturing be in the US?

Not by statute that I'm aware of. But again, if you've invented some esoteric device that might have a $50M market one day, nothing makes government patent review boards happier than licensing that to a small business in Minneapolis who will hire a few dozen engineers and maybe even get the thing built in the US.

I would normally agree, but not in the case of Trump, because more than anything Donald just wants to be worshiped and adored.

A Trump Presidency will be bread and circuses for sure. His ambition is to be a populist tyrant in the mold of Julius Ceasar.

I've been enjoying watching a Randian Superhero in action, a completely self-interested man, a man that never gives anything away for free, a man that sees a pledge as just another opportunity to renegotiate better terms for himself.

He threatens the power of the Senate more than anything, and by Senate I mean the broad based aristocratic ruling class.

His enemies list will be long, and he will retaliate against anyone who so much as dares to dislike him with the full power of the executive branch.

It turns out that a majority of GOP voters never really believed in the Conservative principles their betters told them they cared about, save the resentment against rich liberals and poor minorities scrounging government benefits.

And he is smart. He saw the opening and he went for it. He can echolocate his opponents weakest point, and mercilessly exploit it for his own advantage.

And after he puts anyone in his way down for the count, he becomes gracious the minute they no longer threaten him.

He trains his opponents to be scared to go after him, because he hits back hard.

Trump, a chauvinist if there ever was one, has effectively made today's media cycle all about Bill Clinton's rape allegations and Hillary's "enabling".

A competitor, a dominator, a man without any altruism or thought for collective good, and a genius at manipulating the modern media landscape.

If he had more experience with equities and modern finance, rather than mere real estate deals and debt, I would almost think he could bring about some actual beneficial economic reforms for the middle class.

He would bully his enemies and the enemies of the masses from the bully pulpit like no other, because at his core, he is a brute, a bully.

I would almost want to see him in the presidency just to see what a smart outsider could accomplish in the office if he wasn't such a fascist with a torture fetish.

And in the end I think it will be his overreach that will make him the ultimate embarrassed loser this fall.

Even when he had the nomination wrapped up through his polarizing tactics to boost his resentful thug vote, he couldn't help himself with more statements sure to alienate female voters.

Even this fervent Sanders supporter has to concede that Trump is just a smarter candidate. Trump adapts, his reality and truth is flexible and situational.

I still hold out hope for a Sanders upset...
