The video isn't that strong, really. I'd love for Google to make such huge mistake, and even think the hint of impropriety here is almost good for the public: to trust Google/SV less. But it's really not HN quality.

I'm sure if someone did a more comprehensive article on what autocomplete filters, along with how this might introduce bias even if fairly solid, HN wouldn't flag it. It could be political if it's comprehensive and clear. (Perhaps research why "Mein Kampf" shows up when searching images of Trump's book.) Even an expose on how SV money affects government should be fine. (I think it was on HN I heard about Google coordinating with the US to destabilize some place, maybe Libya?)

Dang is being excellent here, allowing the community to decide.

Honestly the only thing is the opaqueness of the flagging process. I was just caught by surprise after reloading a tab. On its merits it's just a weak video.

It isn't just the cost that's an issue, it's the fact that American workers are not as... flexible... on what constitutes an acceptable work/life balance. Would you do what these workers ( http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/business/apple-america-and... ) do if you had any other opportunity at all? Labor laws aside, could they pay you enough to live and work like this and still make an affordable device?

Relevant quote from article:

Apple had redesigned the iPhone’s screen at the last minute, forcing an assembly line overhaul. New screens began arriving at the plant near midnight.

A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitting glass screens into beveled frames. Within 96 hours, the plant was producing over 10,000 iPhones a day.

“The speed and flexibility is breathtaking,” the executive said. “There’s no American plant that can match that.”

So what you're saying is that this law is really being kept secret for our own advantage ? Politicians can't be held responsible for their actions because they benefit us ? Can't have public influence over the deal because that would "torpedo" it ?

Maybe you should move to Russia or China, and have all your deals and laws done like this.

And they give the same argument you're giving : "it's for your own good". And I bet in one case out of 10 that's actually true.

A fine example of the fact that brute force is often a powerful heuristic. I believe I recall hearing from the MIT OCW Algorithms course that they often rely on computer time doing exhaustive search (i.e. brute force) to "not disprove" some algorithm they develop before sinking too much time into developing a mathematical proof.
I guess that means, Clinton = TPP comes into full force, regardless of what she says now. Would you agree ?
He became a Republican because he is a corporatist.

It is Republican orthodoxy to be against consumer and labor rights.

He has absolutely no interest in abandoning the TPP, since, as a Republican, he is in favor of exporting US jobs.

When dealing with Trump, it it important to ignore what he says, because he will literally lie 71 times in a single speech: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-fact-check_...
I'm still debating between the two. I do miss the code corrections (like the suggestions to add module imports) when using VS Code. That said, I'm very impressed with the progress that VS Code has made in such a short time.
As a first attempt, I guess you'd create a table of 5th powers of integers through (say) 1000, then look for combinations of two, three, or four entries from the same array that added up to one of the same numbers. Or more likely, walk through the array and subtract all combinations of one, two, three, or four elements from each, looking for zeroes. The most naive search through such a table could take on the order of a trillion trials to find a counterexample, which is pretty painful, but I'm sure there are plenty of ways to optimize it. Especially if you worked from high to low, you could skip enormous chunks of the search space that would take the computation out of range.

The CDC 6600 was a pretty hardcore machine; it was Seymour Cray's first design at his Chippewa Falls skunk works, according to Wikipedia. Would definitely be interesting to know how long their solution took.

I agree that removing/limiting access is lousy by Coursera and Udacity, for courses that used to be free and contain valuable fundamentals.

I don't agree that the golden age is necessarily over though. The MOOC space is getting crowded, just look at all the offerings at https://www.class-central.com

MOOCs by government-backed traditional universities from Europe / Asia is taking over a large chunk of the "market" meaning that Coursera, Udacity, etc. is finding it difficult to get any returns.

It's very close, but not quite a guaranteed loss at 4v5. I've won (and lost) a number of these.

We almost even won a 3v5 once, but we didn't quite close it out fast enough, so they finally caught up enough to take us down. And it was down to the wire.

That was actually one of the better games I remember, just because it was so intense, though that certainly isn't normal.

Then again, there is another side to things. I once had a team where we all completely sucked and we got pounded into the ground... but every single person was still nice and friendly. We all made friends after game, joined into a group, and played a lot of games together for some time after that.
Ford borrowed $5.9 billion from the Department of Energy in June 2009 through the TALF program. Another ~$2.1 billion was given to Nissan ($1.6b) and Tesla ($465m) from that at the same time. It was a $25 billion fund for encouraging higher fuel efficiency.
Don't get me wrong, I don't trust a politician to keep his promises. He's just the best shot against the TPP we have, it seems (I trust Clinton less than Trump, and nobody votes libertarian).
That is what companies do in the U.S.

I agree with everything here except for the Pony promotion because after working on OO codebases for 15 years now, I am
mostly convinced that OO has fundamental design flaws, at least when it comes to the long-term scalability and maintainability of codebases.

Unfortunately it is difficult to "prove" this definitively currently, until someone comes up with a "complexity polynomial metric over time" for code, except to talk to old programmers like myself (44) who have done this for a long while and gotten disillusioned due to all the time spent repairing OO complexity/tech debt bugs, and have become entranced by functional langs and the way they avoid inheritance, use immutable values and are super careful with state, all of which contributes to better long term code life

Fortunately I'm not the only old OO guy proclaiming this, I have John Carmack on my side:

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/169296/Indepth_Functional...

"My pragmatic summary: A large fraction of the flaws in software development are due to programmers not fully understanding all the possible states their code may execute in. In a multithreaded environment, the lack of understanding and the resulting problems are greatly amplified, almost to the point of panic if you are paying attention. Programming in a functional style makes the state presented to your code explicit, which makes it much easier to reason about, and, in a completely pure system, makes thread race conditions impossible."

"No matter what language you work in, programming in a functional style provides benefits. You should do it whenever it is convenient, and you should think hard about the decision when it isn't convenient."

The problem is that specific issues need specific expertise. The client should have the right to pick his/her attorney if he has the resources. This keeps attorneys interested in keeping a competitive skillset and a good track record. It's too important to leave to chance. You really need an attorney who understands the subject matter if you want a good outcome. We just need to equalize the buying power so that one side is not deprived of the ability to obtain equal representation.

It's plainly obvious that the amount charged can't be related to the cost of the marginal traffic caused by the taxi. Even if you discount for the fact that a taxi is driving more often, it would mean that normal private car owners are inducing tens of thousands of dollars in negative externalities each year.
Some of us think there are good people, who have rights, and bad people, who deserve to have rights taken from them.

Some of us think there are people with power we need to impress and then there are people without power we can take from them whatever we want.

Some of us think we are all human beings and everyone deserves to be a part of society, to be seen as human beings with human wants, needs and human emotions, even when they do things that harm other people. And whether they even do that, is not for us to judge.

The first group needed people who were willing to take things from the bad guys, and picked the second group as police and prosecutors.

Your child ask you if they can go to your donald-trump-loving-women-should-stay-in-kitchen neighbour's house to play with friends. Do you:

1. Change your child's school so they don't mix with the 'wrong sort'. You're afraid what your social circle think if your children mix with children of people like that.

2. Your neighbours are racists and sexists. Petition their kids to be kicked out from your kids' school. They don't deserve an education.

3. Let your child go play with them, then if your child has a positive experience, let him go again next time. If not, protect the child from the consequences of not going next time.

There are probably some confounds to why some brands may not do as well particularly brands that make mini vans and/or all wheel drive cars.

AWD is just inherently more complicated and thus requires more maintenance. Thus Subaru probably has unfair advantage since almost all their cars are AWD.

As for Prius reliability... I have passed many stuck sliding on the road in New England blizzards... in my "high maintenance" Subaru.
No, I didn't. The salient aspect is "nice" neighbors; people like poor teachers, or unemployed kids of existing residents, are just fine. Things like HOAs are particularly brutally enforced in poorer neighborhoods attempting to become or stay "nice" (eg, in black but predominantly middle class neighborhoods).
Can I just use AMD chips to avoid this?
You're right. OSX firewall is off by default -- also a poor decision.

The outgoing exceptions on Windows probably because a Windows machine default deny for both incoming and outgoing which does require exceptions. Windows doesn't phone home for additional exceptions -- it asks you.

The default on Ubuntu should be like all other linux distros where where all unsolicited incoming connections are blocked. Related incoming connections are allowed and outgoing connections are allowed.

This would not require any difficult configuration on the part of the average home user.

It seems to me that most people who are blindly defending Ubuntu's current setup do not understand how networking and firewalls work and the better options. That or they do not understand how wide open the Ubuntu defaults are.

There is certainly a more secure easy to use option that Ubuntu is ignoring, but which all of the other linux distros use by default.
Apple platforms already have the best consumer software, so maybe Apple's strategy is the right one?

They plan to stay

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/uber-quebec-deal-1.36...

In my opinion, the government and the ride hailing companies should have bought back a share of the taxi permit pool value, then cancelled them. It would have been costly, but by taxing the ride themselves (at a fixed rate) then letting competition drive the ride price down while increasing the ride volume. The government could have had their money back, eventually. Uber technically owe "theoretical tax money" since they operated without permit in a regulated industry. They had said at some point they didn't care about paying that back, so it would have been a better solution. After that, the regulations could have been lifted/relaxed.

The current deal isn't very good, but at least there is one. Technically, with self driving and automation (including apps), a lot of people will lose their job, so obviously they will resist changes, any changes. We can complain all we want as developers, but from the taxi driver point of view, change suck. Then again, in my opinion, so does regulation. One positive point, at least, is that this saga allowed time for discussions and consideration. A abrupt disruption would maybe have destabilized the industry too fast, while the time it took for this law to be passed allowed for the creation of a "middle market" where new taxis companies managed to enter the industry with hybrid solutions (including one Tesla/Leaf + app company) and the "dinosaurs" had time to [try to] adapt [and fail]. In the end, this did create more competition instead of players being pushed out and replaced by less players. There will be a market consolidation eventually anyway, but until that, the users will be the real winners.

Time will tell. I am still not convinced this law was the right call, but appreciated the debate.

Hes just being real. Ive been self learning group theory, and cardinality/ordinals, surreal numbers, VN universe, shit is hard. Foundation is key. In order to be profound one needs tools. Unlike programming, dedication to tightening ones toolbelt first, helps immensely later. Order in math progression is way more significant than programming by trial and error.
I find it beautiful that some things in math are so easily and convincingly disprovable that brute force is a valid approach.

Once you have the numbers, it's easily reproducible.
I am sorry, but hours-old accts commenting on highly controversial threads, spouting poorly cited 'almost conspiracies' doesn't seem helpful. I may be completely off, but that is how I feel; this is something that has become far too common on HN. Am I in my own world on this?
Trump may be a liar, but it's probably a miscalculation to think he has greater loyalty to the Republican Party than to himself.

Trump is a real estate guy. His business is intrinsically tied to the US. He can't outsource hotel construction jobs to China. That makes being anti-globalization an easy path for him.

Moreover, more capital sloshing around in the US instead of going overseas means lower interest rates for construction loans.
I guess they want to pay even less taxes...

About Heroes of the Storm: players aren't allowed to leave and if they do, they are threatened to be queued with other leavers. And there's no resign option.

On the other hand, my worst experience with Dota was that a lot of players were leavers, so any sign of losing and someone left the game. And after that it's really game over. No fun to lose the game this way, even no fun to win the game this way. But with HOTS that's completely different. Almost everyone tries to stay until the defeat and it's not that rare to see a comeback and victory.

So I'm supporting that notion of not allowing anyone just to leave. It's not a chess and there are other players who might want to fight until the end. On the other hand, quick anonymous poll, initiated by one player, if anyone wants to stay, and defeat if everyone wants to resign wouldn't hurt anyone, I guess.
You are correct... :-)
The ACLU tries to promote civil liberties in general.

One of those liberties is the right to a free press - "free" specifically meaning "has the right to annoy rich and powerful people."

Thiel promotes Thiel.

It's a clear difference in scope.

IMO a culture that can't tolerate having a court jester like Gawker on the premises isn't a healthy one.

Sometimes a jester can go too far, and a kick in the ass is deserved.

But trying to nuke the jester from orbit is an act more common in totalitarian regimes than in those that value personal freedoms.
Generally treaties are negotiated by the executive of a country, not the legislative force. Even in the cases where there is still a ratification step, the initiative is taken away from the legislative, and the law is written by indirectly (at best) elected commissars (in the case of the EU), rather than directly elected representatives.

In the case of the EU, there isn't even a ratification step once the EU commission (which isn't elected) agrees to a treaty.

And of course ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supremacy_(European_Union_law)

That means that with EU commission agreement you get the supreme court (that supersedes all local courts) arguing that anything the commission agrees to can countermand local constitutions.

So local legislature agreement required, in many cases, is incorrect.
Obviously they're doing similar stuff, the scope got considerably wider, the purse got deeper, and memory/cpu has scaled to make it all feasible. They're penetrating BC they can, but it also helps things scale if everyone has a default reason to agree that they should.
I think the takeaway from his statements are that it is virtually impossible to source the necessary raw materials that go into producing modern electronics from any one country.
This is the theory that the EU tries to push on it's member states. They have accepted that international treaties carry greater weight than the local laws and even the constitution of the local countries :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supremacy_(European_Union_law)

As to whether it applies to all treaties or just the EU ones, ... good question. In practice courts haven't really followed it.

Also, just as a data point, I've been working in Brussels for close to 20 years now and seen the evolution. I work as a consultant, so it has been a mixed bag for me. However, for just about everyone else, workers, middle class, business owners, ... it has been a consistently worsening disaster.

Having regularly worked for the EU commission, let me tell you this : any idea you may have that this organization has anything but their own economic interests at heart can be cured by chatting with one of them for 5 minutes.
Everywhere in the rich New World suburbia came up. In Australia, Canada and New Zealand you also have suburbs.

US economic policy didn't have much effect there.

Suburbia is partly driven by people having cars and having wealth. It works fairly well as long as the city isn't too large and traffic and the problems of having efficient public transit and low densities come up.

Another thing that drove suburbs is that cities were not as good as they are now. There were lots of slums and problem areas and people didn't have much space. Living downtown appeals to young wealthy people now but it was less fun living with your parents and possibly your grand parents.
