Have you notice the quality has gone down DRAMATICALLY over the last few years, with most front page posts being from major media companies?
So, if you feel there's a worthwhile discussion to be had here, maybe don't make an argument to the author, and just have the discussion regardless of the author?

> How is racism not baked right into those concepts?

For immigration, Trump is for enforcing the laws. That's not evidence of being racist. Part of one way of enforcing the laws is to build a wall. That's not racist either; it's enforcing our immigration laws.

For "rapists", some of the illegal immigrants across the Mexican border have been rapists. Trump didn't say that all the illegal immigrants were rapists.

More generally, our legal immigration system was well designed and very careful about who gets admitted. The flow of illegal immigrants across the border with Mexico has everyone who is able physically to cross the border at all. That includes people from Mexico, from elsewhere in Central and South America, people from Cuba, and, now, some people from the war areas of the Mideast, likely including ISIS soldiers. Stopping that illegal immigration is important for US public health, US public safety, US drug enforcement, the US economy, and US national security and is not racist.

The Mexican border is also a source of illegal drugs -- a good wall would greatly slow that. Again, a wall to slow the flow of illegal drugs is not racist.

For Mexicans, Trump has said over and over that he has hired thousands of Mexicans and regards them as excellent workers. So, clearly Trump is not a "racist" on Mexicans.

There is good evidence, e.g., in Arizona, that a lot of people from Mexico and now US citizens will be voting for Trump because they agree with Trump that we should not have illegal immigrants from Mexico. Apparently those US citizens do not regard Trump as racist against people from Mexico.

> His proposed policies have even gained him an endorsement from the KKK.

A political candidate can't keep some dirt bags from saying they like the candidate. But when some dirt bags do so say, then the candidate can reject the support, and Trump did that right away. There was a delay of some seconds, but there are some explanations of that that do not cast a bad light on Trump.

Actually, there is a lot of quite positive evidence that Trump has been a leader against racism. IIRC, Trump was a leader in letting everyone in to his high end golf club in Florida.

I'm still looking for evidence that Trump is racist. So far I like Trump -- if there is something wrong with him, then I want to know it.

Ah yes - that's true - I was thinking of operons, not genes. But you can shuffle operons without too many broader consideration of genomic structure. Some prokaryotic organisms seem to have all of their operons pointing in-line with DNA replication (pointing origin -> ter) but IIRC switching the direction of those doesn't seem to make much of a difference either.

Not really. It remains unlawful to appropriate funds (or use appropriated funds) to influence US public opinion. The problem the legislation tried to solve was that material meant for foreign consumption is, in the Internet era, overwhelmingly likely to find its way to a domestic audience, and the plain text of the law prior to the NDAA forbad any such material --- it was a practical problem for State and the BBG.

The 2013 NDAA amended the law to allow the State Department and the Broadcasting Board Of Governors to disseminate material meant for foreign audiences domestically, using domestic services like Youtube, &c.

Fun fact: the Broadcasting Board of Governors also pays for free crypto audits (from some very strong firms) for privacy and anonymity tools. Virtually all the privacy tools you've heard about have had several tens of thousands of dollars worth of audit dollars spent by the BBG to make sure they're not endangering people.

So far as I know --- I've participated in a couple of these audits, but never been a recipient of one --- these are no-strings-attached.

>> Firstly what constitutes "minimal" depends on what you feed the organism.

So maybe the environment needs to be changed to support an organism with a smaller genome. The world today is certainly different than when life began. It's probably difficult to evolve the environment, so they'd need to understand what goes wrong with gene deletions and figure out how a different environment could help.

One reason is that the term is exclusively used by the ideological opponents of this "neoliberalism", and as a result it is necessarily ill-defined. A lot of people describe themselves as libertarians of various types, or even as classical liberals, but I've never met a person calling herself a neoliberal. Outlining a difference between these ideologies might be a good start, and would at least give the term some meaning, without it though it is nothing more than handwaving at people the speaker doesn't like. Had that actually been done, I might even call myself a neoliberal one day -- but as it stands, I can't, because no one knows what it is :)
Never meant these as "do all these 10 things, and nothing else". Every startup is different and no-one should tell you what 3 or 10 things you should do. Perhaps tips #11 should have been: take all advice with a grain of salt.

And indeed, these tips were of unequal weight and difficulty - and advice that people find useful is sometimes a light tip and othertimes an almost philosophical approach.

Roskomnadzor blocked cloud service Amazon
Meduza
9:10, June 22, 2016
reliable source

Roskomnadzor made ​​in the register of banned sites domain cloud storage Amazon (s3.amazonaws.com). Address included in the register on June 21 , although the Internal Revenue Service issued a determination to do so in May.

The reason for the ban is the domain that it posted a website where you can download the program for the game of poker. Under Russian law, not allowed to play poker.

A spokesman for Roskomnadzor Vadim Ampelonsky told "Izvestia" that the agency turned to Amazon, but the company did nothing. On "Habrahabr" wrote that s3.amazonaws.com domain is already locked in the TTC and "Acad" providers.

Many sites use Amazon S3 to store information. For example, Tumblr, Formspring and Pinterest pictures stored there.

Roskomnadzor has repeatedly blocked critical internet services. At various times in the register got YouTube, GitHub and "Wikipedia".
The state probably ought to actually be transparent before doing this. Otherwise, you're just going to make the state the biggest censor rather than Google, which is a much worse problem in my opinion.

Yes, but the only way in which that ordering compels the integers to be a unique factorization domain is through the fact that it allows us the Euclidean algorithm; put another way, through the fact that, for any bunch of integers, their smallest positive combination (in the sense of adding or subtracting various multiples of them together) divides all of them.

But this fact about the integers actually doesn't seem to be obvious to many people! If I were to ask "What's the smallest positive value of the form 98X - 60Y?", how many people would say "Psh, obviously it's 2"? If I were to pick three particular primes p, q, and r, and ask what the smallest positive value I could get by adding and subtracting copies of p * q, p * r, and q * r together was, how many people would see right off the bat "Oh, it has to be possible to get 1 itself, as that is their only common factor"? Not many, I suspect.

And if your magic integers-with-< intuition doesn't even give you that, then I don't think it's in any sound way giving you uniqueness of prime factorization. I think you're just back-rationalizing your sense that uniqueness of prime factorization must be obvious because you've never seen it fail and heard people talk about it a lot and so on, instead of having access to genuine grounds for certainty.

It makes sense since the only other two agencies which were able to send many satellites were NASA and the Russian space agency. So this news shows ISRO is also a serious contender.

Posting a BBC article here is not bragging. Though i wouldn't suggest people to go out and say we are the best, since we aren't, I don't see any harm in posting this kind of news on HN.

You seem to think things should be ground breaking to be appreciated, it need not be to appreciate the efforts of the scientists.
First off – gender isn't always equal to genitals – I gather you're trying to be light hearted in that but it's an example that highlights the fact it can be hard to understand situations outside of the mainstream.

If you reject my explanation for why there are so few women in tech and in tech conferences, I'd request you offer another one that doesn't depend on things like "they don't like math or technology", etc. The data shows that women leave tech/IT/engineering fields – why is that?

Explanations like the one I offered are simple and make sense, (of course, IMHO) and it's not really as much conjecture as you might think. A very close analogy can be seen in Schelling's Model of Segregation: http://nifty.stanford.edu/2014/mccown-schelling-model-segreg... – essentially, it's an agent based model that shows how segregation can evolve from even a minor preference for being those similar to one's self.

It's not an indictment of men or women in tech, but it shows how even small preferences can end up having big impact.

can you share what are your worries about?

When i was in my early 20s i have read book(dont remember name) where was something like this: create list of 100 things what you want to achieve in your life. Split it to desired parts like: job, family, hobby, living etc. For example 10 categories with 10 things per category.

Those days it was list of dreams. It seemed almost impossible to achieve it. But i have started with small steps and performing all necessary steps how tick one by one. Now, i have almost all main things i ever wanted (house, family, own book,own business, car, above average income, etc.)

There are plenty of great books (but please dont read anything about passive income from property renting. This is not kind of business for normal people).

From my own experience...Everything is about persistent ,hardworking, never give up and learn from failures - owns and others. It is not possible to get wisdom without years of real life experience. So...keep reading, watching around you and listening. Everything will come on its own.

I don't see this as sufficient reason not to join a platform like Fabric. This could make it visible to a lot of developers who don't even know about deep linking, or that it can be done with an SDK. A big appeal of Fabric is also how easy it makes it to integrate kits into apps. You may be experienced enough to do the plumbing yourself, but the convenience Fabric brings lowers the bar to entry for many.
The case is not Sweden vs Assange. The case is handled by one prosecutor (Marianne Ny) and everything attributed to Sweden is actually her decisions. If she has a plan or not, I don't think many people can tell.
Just Prices is not an explanation of Elasticity. In fact, it attempts to explain cases which Elasticity cannot account for.

E.g. (from the paper) the queues at restaurants. Our understanding of Price Elasticity suggests that the optimal arrangement (for both parties) is for restaurants to apply a surcharge in order to reduce queue times. The ubiquity of queues and rarity of surcharges suggests that something beyond Supply & Demand is occurring.

Another example. Areas affected by natural disasters often experience a fuel shortage. The price of gasoline may sell at several times the usual rate. The price hike simply reflects the diminished supply. But customers often behave unreasonably hostile toward the fuel vendors and refuse to buy, even if the purchase is still to their net benefit.

The hostility occurs because the customers feel they're being taken advantage of. Such a sentiment may not be rational in today's global market. But it was a rational response in the ancestral environment (where monopolies and monopsonies were more common) because price hikes set a precedent of exploitation (like how politicians use emergencies as an excuse to pass legislation, which mysteriously stays in effect even after the emergency has passed).

The commentariat may not grok the Evo Psych behind Just Prices. What they do grok is an intuition that a small community might get mad at the local bee-keeper if he hikes his prices out of the blue, Predicted Elasticity be damned.
Robert Epstein is not a household name. The only reason anybody would dismiss this article is because they came to the comments section first and read your comment.

Announcing CalVer: Versioning Alternative to SemVer
It would certainly be considered fraudulent by all major browser vendors, possibly leading to a death sentence for the CA (i.e. root removal) in cases of deliberate misissuance or massive negligence. Key pinning mechanisms and Certificate Transparency would make it quite likely that this kind of misissuance would be detected as well.

My personal opinion on the "nation-state adversary forces CA to misissue" topic boils down to this: It's unsuitable for mass surveillance as it's easy to detect. It would work for targeted attacks, but in all likelihood your adversary will use other means to get in (zero-days, someone on the inside, physical compromise, etc.). Even for a targeted attack, my guess is that these other means would be less likely to be detected and would be significantly cheaper (if you take into account the cost of causing a root CA to get removed).
"Why would someone write an article like this if they didn't have an agenda?"

Errr, to start a discussion?

You don't have to have agendas to have reasoned intellectual discussions.

"Every author has biases, whether or not they are conscious or overt."

This is such a throw away line i'm not sure why you added it.

"The better approach is to use your critical thinking skills and avoid ad hominem judgments about the author."

In theory, yes, but honestly, i find it's not worth my time when i know it means he's likely leaving out info, etc, instead of trying to present stuff in a reasonable way.

I tend to see others do the same.
I don't think you will change this (see, as an example, the viewpoints of the entire populace on pretty much anything, and the way they treat information presented by people they feel have agendas).

You can argue till you are blue in the face that this is not what should happen, but it won't change that it does :)

Why is this downvoted? This is an entirely rational explanation and probably far closer to the truth than something vaguely conspiratorial, such as the NSA trying to manipulate opinion on Facebook or Reddit. I say "vaguely" because depending on who you ask, you'll get a different answer as to what possible motive they could have.

This is a post in itself. But I guess the main thing here is to take time for crafting a value prop before the time you urgently need it. Even if it's not perfect, start using it. When it works, great. If not, have another stan.

How to do it? Talking to lots of customers helped. Having founders keep talking about product vision until it started making sense to yours truly helped - there was development both on their and my part. Being in the business for more than 1-2 years helped as I developed a better sense of what customers wanted and what competitors were/are doing. Also, basic market research helped.
