You are overestimating Trump and underestimating Hillary.
Nothing that links to the daily caller is a serious news source.

Plus the article is a pile of stupid innuendo that conflates what Hillary did with Petraeus providing contemporaneously classified documents to his journalist fuckbuddy.

Further, clearly nobody in government had a contemporaneous problem with it since they saw the email address every time they communicated with Hillary Clinton. Whenever they sent her an email, they saw

Hillary Clinton <hdr22@clintonemail.com>

show up in the email composition window, which certainly cannot be mistaken for a state department email...
She still had a .gov e-mail address. It isn't difficult to imagine there was a "confidential to @gov, all else to @clintonemail.com" rule.

I'm not defending the practise, but let's not be glib.
Oh nice, Volt looks really cool
I think this is somewhat of a deceptive trap that people fall into. It's difficult to trial something like React unless you set up all the tooling around it, so Ember appears easier because it is blackboxed and sets things up for you.

However, that means that six months in, when your app has outgrown the constraints of the blackboxed starter, you are trapped.

There is absolutely more of a startup cost to something like React and that makes it hard to evaluate its fit for your project, but I would suggest it pays ridiculous dividends to understand the stack you're going to have to maintain for the next X years instead of having it hidden away from you.
No real reason as of now, you can choose to not use MongoDB if you want and use Meteor as just the front end.

When Apollo comes out, RIP all these React boilerplate projects, you're going to be able to pick and choose the data stack you want with Meteor making it nice to use.
I like the idea of shorting LinkedIn. My main fear heat would be that someone would drive the price up by acquiring them if you wait too long with cashing in on the short.
There's some truth to it, I believe.

There's legal notions that state you can't create arbitrary requirements. i.e. take a job where employees are on the phone with customers all day, it turns out that entrepreneurs would rather want your name to be John than Juan, Kwame or Mohammed. And given racial differences in socioeconomic standing, which create differences in educational attainment, it's easy to say a college degree is a requirement for the job, when you're really just using it as a proxy to hire a certain ethnic profile.

This is just an example, I'm not claiming here it's widespread (although it wouldn't surprise me in some industries, and many blind tests have shown preferences, but that's besides the point.)

Now this isn't new, so there have been court cases in the past. And they shaped a precedent which loosely states that you can't just say you need a degree for the job. You need to back that up with real data. This isn't common practice, but it's the law. So for a job where you need to do rudimentary work, there's technically quite a high burden of proof on the employer to require a degree for that.

The famous case is Griggs vs Duke Power Co[0][1]

There've been more cases since, it's not that hard to find. In any case, no it's not broadly illegal to ask for a degree at all. But there is precedent that unnecessary tests, e.g. a degree requirement for a telemarketing job, are indeed illegal.

I wouldn't know for certain how a judge would rule on the examples given by the person you replied to, like system admin or marketing, but I suspect the notion a degree would be required would be found entirely reasonable by a judge, like syst admin or marketing. But I get his point. I've got friends who work e.g. as a credit analyst, which is a job they say they and their peers could've done at age 16 without even finishing HS, yet it's a typical job that requires a degree and that a judge would probably be convinced of that it requires a degree.

Yeah, agreed. But yeah, after all the writing we were eager to get something out, haha.
An Indian colleague of mine told me that she felt it was the same in India with respect to the caste system (she was born a Brahmin). She said she could tell from the way people spoke what caste they were from.

When I hear folks from India talk about the caste system, it sounds very similar to how people in the US talk about racism against blacks.
I'm good with my work or school owned/issued device trusting a root cert installed by that device's owner.

I'm _not good with a school or employer's network being able to generate arbitrary certs for my email, bank, social networks, etc - WITHOUT ME KNOWING ABOUT IT ON MY PERSONAL DEVICES... Sure, MitM me if it's your network - but I 100% should be able to rely on my browser on my device reliably being able to tell me "You're attempting to visit https://mybank.com, but the certificate identifies it as mybank.suspiciouscorp.net Continue anyway (not recommended): [OK] [Hell no!]"

Part of the whole security clearance process is instruction on detecting misclassification, so the :%s/SECRET/SUCRETS/g defense doesn't work. At least 22 emails where later classified as top secret, there is no way to mistake top secret material for uncontrolled information. There were at least 22 chances to take a step back and wonder about the wisdom of the thing.
Europe has plenty of ingrained racism. I was born there and I can tell you for a fact that racism is alive and well in Europe.
She probably won't if Trump is elected.

A lot of people are saying there's no way she gets indicted before the election. However, if Trump is elected, he's already said he's going to indict her and send her to prison. Therefore, I if you want to see her indicted, you're probably going to have to vote for Trump.
The first article, headlined The poor are better off when we build more housing for the rich literally makes my argument.

The second article lets various people give their reaction to the first one. The non professionals say what they usually say. But the Berkeley professor of economics answers my question very clearly:

Economic research on this topic is unanimous. There is no question that on net, adding more units tends to lower rents. All existing peer-reviewed academic studies — including work done at Harvard University, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and by me at UC Berkeley — find that more housing supply results in lower rents and house prices, everything else being constant.
That's not as bad as Colin Powell, who used AOL while serving as Secretary of State.

And of course it also was hacked by, you guessed it, Guccifer.
>>> Nothing that links to the daily caller is a serious news source.

Neither is linking to the LA Times for that matter. I was simply fighting fire with fire.
If this were, say, some poor low level government worker saying they stored classified info on a private server because they just wanted to use a blackberry and anything else was too inconvenient, no doubt Hillary would call for their head on a spike. The hypocrisy of her record contrasted with this situation is strong.

Either you believe in the rule of law, or you don't. Clinton's actions have shown that she does not.

I have used git blame with --first-parent to get the 'un-expanded' commit identifier in the blame view.

I'm rather new to the --first-parent flag myself but I think it works with anything that supports revision options.

Here's what I see in git 2.8.1:

usage: git blame [<options>] [<rev-opts>] [<rev>] [--] <file>
<rev-opts> are documented in git-rev-list(1)

And --first-parent is listed as an option here: https://www.git-scm.com/docs/git-rev-list
> What's increasingly clear to me is that explanations of conventional economics are substantively incorrect. That energy and inputs do matter, hugely. And that "technology" almost certainly lags rather than leads energy availability, though the relationship is complex.

There is the claim of energy decoupling from GDP a few decades ago if I am not mistaken.
I would use that and donate to it.
Theft: "In common usage, theft is the taking of another person's property without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it."

Taxes: "A financial charge or other levy imposed upon a taxpayer (an individual or legal entity) by a state or the functional equivalent of a state to fund various public expenditures."

Taxes pay for services that you use directly or indirectly. With theft, you receive no service, directly or indirectly.
If you're working on branch `myFeature`, simply branch to `myFeature_BACKUP` and commit your entire working copy with commit message "WIP for the night; for remote backup only". Push this to the remote to back it up and protect against a lost laptop.

The next day, do a "reset --mixed" from the tip of your backup branch back to your last good commit on the feature branch. This brings all of the remote backup code into your working copy. From there, start work again and begin making staged commits of atomic changes.

Inside the Workshop You Need to Build the World's Largest Composite Wings
Firstly, I was responding to the idea that this topic is irrelevant or orthogonal to the rest of the article - you don't seem to disagree with that, but rather disagree with the specific points that were made.

Secondly, "the same old familiar points" assumes everyone has the same familiarity with the topic that you do, which of course isn't true in general, and the target audience of the article is actively people who are unlikely to have come across this.
Paywall :(

I haaate these numerical ranking systems. Bank of America had one when I worked there. Managers would have meetings with each other to match their workers with ranks. Really, really long meetings. So long that my boss apologized to me after the meeting to discuss my ranking.. because heleft before my name came up and there was no followup meeting. I ended up being ranked towards the bottom, I didn't get a raise, and the bonus was meh.

When I left, they told me that my performance was great and that they wanted to give me a substantial raise, since apparently, my pay was far below what it should be. They then had to replace my weekend shift with four others for a while. Most of the team was gone a bit later.
But they shouldn't have to. Changing a default, known, long used feature of UNIX-like OSes without any sort of announcement or debate is dangerous and irresponsible. This kind of thing is why I feel the encroachment of systemd into most Linux distros is a bad thing.

It's a great system in theory and I am excited about its potential, but it has some extremely egotistical and irresponsible developers who don't give a damn about what they break, as long as they can keep pushing code out without community testing or review to slow them down. Debian was flat out wrong to go with systemd until it reaches a certain level of maturity and stability, but there's no going back now.
"We, the US public, out of the goodness of our hearts and wanting to foster art"

I was not part of that, and neither was I part of some minority complaining while the majority did this. I don't think this ever happened. Just because there's a pretense of democracy doesn't mean the general public is actually to blame for everything.

She did, officially, but she's mentioned several times she never used it, and wanted to have her private email server for "convenience".
I think a good password manager + 2fa will be adequate. Make password manager long but memorable and then make passwords you generate crazy long, like 24 characters or more. That and 2fa all the things.

Assuming the data was classified (HRC has stated that it was not), what laws were broken?
Thank you, I'd been trying to remember what this was called.
You're making a false equivalence here. The big distinction with Uber drivers is it's a 1-on-1 situation with nobody else around, in an environment the driver controls. This is especially true late at night. Compare this with being a burger flipper at McDonalds, sure, you could conceivably poison a burger, but it's not very likely, nor is this really a situation that calls for an opportunistic crime anyway. The only reason why you'd poison a burger at McDonalds is if you're deliberately trying to assassinate your customer (or otherwise harm them), which means you're presumably targeting a specific person. Versus Uber driver where every single passenger is a potential opportunistic crime.

Assuming the phone uses the same standard (ie. GSM vs. CDMA), this is true here in the US.

LTE, however, is making this less of an issue and in theory an LTE capable phone should be able to make an emergency call from any network.

It shouldn't be a privilege, but that's how things worked out. History made it a privilege. If we ever reach a place in societal development where everyone starts at the same place, we can, and perhaps will, stop calling it that. Until then, it is a privilege, and people will continue calling it that.

No one should feel guilty for having it, and others shouldn't being trying to make others feel guilty for having it (both of those things obviously happen, and people should speak against that, too. Some in the social justice world do exactly that.) Social Justice language is sometimes used as a cudgel, used opportunistically, used cynically, and abused in half a dozen ways (non-identarian left vs identarian liberal fights are often over these issues.) That doesn't mean the language is all wrong, or the meaning is wrong, it means bad people can use tools just like good ones can.

Those with some privileges, but without economic privilege or other similar power can help by speaking out, and may change some minds; those with all kinds of privileges can help even more. When Sam Altman talks about diversity hiring, for example, he does the work of potentially thousands of non-Sam Altmans. It's not about guilt, it's about using power for purposes of a more equitable society.
For me, it looks like the PDE format is well suited for photographic images with abrupt color changes like the Svalbard picture. The sky is a gradient, it is not just one color, PNG would compress very bad on this one.

You're right that PNG does well on pictures with only few colors like diagrams but who knows how the edge-detecting PDE format would do, it might compress just as well with the same quality.

>And the article lists various reasons why none of those would likely apply to her.

I guess we have different definitions of "likely" since the only reasons given are:

(1) Clinton and her aides have insisted that she didn't. They say none of her emails included material that was marked as classified at the time.

(2) She says she didn't, and there's no known evidence that she did.

(3) "If all she was doing was exchanging emails with her staff, I don't think they can prove that she had the intent to retain anything," a former top government lawyer told me.

Like I said, those are hardly unbiased or definitive assessments. Clinton and her aides have every reason to say that there was no wrongdoing. The government lawyer quoted even says "If" acknowledging that it is an assumption. As for the IG report, if it had said the violation was minor and mostly because of regulations implemented only after she left office, which had been claimed before, then it would be looking really good for her. As it stands, there is still an FBI investigation looming.
After spending a few months commuting to/from work via electric scooter (https://scoot.co), it became really apparent just how many drivers are constantly driving dangerously. My biggest pet peeve was the fact that apparently 95% of drivers don't know how to use turn signals, either not using them at all, or only flicking them on once they've already begun turning. And in those months of scooting, I literally only ever saw 1 car use its turn signal before exiting the rotary.
A nonprofit Uber? Ride Austin promises better driver pay, charity donations
I agree with this, but the failure is one of the government to "train" its appointed/elected members adequately. It should never be acceptable for STATE to conduct official business over private email, that just just be the rule. And while previous secretaries have also "worked around it" it is something the FBI should intervene on and enforce. The pressure of it being hard to do can lead to better funding/resources on making it easier to use, but the going in position should be "You shall not ... and if you do we're coming after you."
A grassy plain supports many fewer animals than the equivalent corn field. Otherwise there would be no economic incentive to grow corn instead of raising livestock on the same land. So you would need much more land to support the same amount of animals, land we just don't have.

Prior to Europeans arriving, it's estimated there were 60 million wild buffalo in the US. There are now 93 million cows in the US. And those cows are much fatter. Bred to produce more meat, grow faster. So consume much more food (and produce more per unit), so the comparison is even worse than that.

Design reviews are also awesome! I'm not sure I agree with your use of "most" - I would say that most things discussed in code reviews I've participated in would not have made sense in the design phase. Also, code reviews are as much for the reviewer's knowledge as for the author's.
You're acting like the NSA told her she couldn't have any smartphone, which isn't the story. The story is that the NSA said she couldn't have that smartphone.

Second, it seems to be your argument that she didn't get the IT support she wanted and so it's reasonable she did her own thing. This seems perfectly reasonable if you're trying desperately to give her the benefit of the doubt. Heck, we've all dealt with annoying IT departments!

Except, it's not like that. She was our top diplomat and 4th in line of succession to the presidency. It's a fact that classified information was discussed on the system.

I just can't believe that the best defense is "well, she didn't like the UI of Windows CE and she wanted a Blackberry, and it's not her fault the NSA wouldn't give her one -- so, she did what any of us would do -- she co-opted her husband's private server and paid a State Department employee under the table to manage it outside of the government infrastructure. She also made sure to order her subordinates to keep the email address out of the official State Dept. email registry because she didn't want to risk being forced to disclose anything. And, it's perfectly OK that when her email correspondence was subpoenaed during a FOIA lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch, the State Dept. didn't know to look on this server, and as such they didn't turn over all of the relevant materials until years later, when the private email address was made public and she felt it was OK to release hard copies of 30k emails (promising that among the 32k she deleted were only personal emails about yoga, Chelsea's wedding, etc.).

But, isn't that what we all do when the IT department is unreasonable?"
