It looks like use them for CSS properties. The background for the outer div is set to #4e6590, the blue background. The background-image of the inner div (and its ::before and ::after) draw the parts of the zipper.

For example, the inner div has background-image of

linear-gradient(to top, transparent 10px, #aaa 10px, #aaa 15px, #ccc 15px, #ccc 30px, transparent 30px), repeating-linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent, transparent 5px, #ddd 5px, #ddd 10px), repeating-linear-gradient(to bottom, #ccc, #ccc 5px, transparent 5px, transparent 10px);

which draws the teeth of the zipper.

I don't want the spyware stuff: I have been a dev on Windows for 13 years or so... long before all this forced telemetry stuff and I am running a business based on it so switching to Linux or Mac isn't an option at this point unfortunately.

Windows 7 and 8.1 work fine for the most part and I will be sticking with them but it just seems like there have been subtle changes over the last year or so that are designed to annoy me rather than fundamentaly change or break the way I work.
The government has probably spent $150,000 to $200,000 hurting my girlfriend since last September. She's less functional now, on psychiatric drugs, than she was over the 2015 labor day weekend (when she decided to quit using the street pharmacy cold-turkey).

I've recently come to appreciate that the psychiatrists' drugs - "anti-psychotics" and anxiety medications - actually create the conditions they treat. "Iatrogenic Psychosis" - I wonder what the ICD-10 code for that is. (technically the term is 'supersensitivity psychosis': http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3736929/ )

She was doing pretty well, until she got the SSRI antidepressant she thought she needed. This caused rapid heartbeat, which led to anxiety. She took her last anxiety pill, "fell apart", and the system got hold of her again.
They also offer a self-hosted Enterprise Edition for $39 per user per year. I imagine this makes quite a large portion of their income.
So they are again beefing up a terrorism drama for simple third world copper theft problems, as they happen in all third world countries.
No terrorist would try to attack 100 minor power stations, they rather attack 1-2 big lines or grid stations.

What is much more dangerous is this marketing tactic to attack the problem ("terrorists") and the ongoing erosion of core infrastructure, like water, streets and the electric grid by simple neglection, probably caused by outsourcing support for it.
The US power grid quality is only comparable to India. You cannot trust them, and there are constant outages. Over- and undercurrents happen all the time, and consumers have to pay for the damages and outages.

Copper thieves are everywhere. Fight them, but don't call it terrorism. America will go dark, but not by terrorists. Don't blame the foreigners, they are homemade problems.

Why do you think 5-10% of the mining power matter? Why would changing the proof of work algorithm on their branch matter if everyone is using the other branch? All that would do is force the 5-10% of miners above to switch to the other branch to stop their equipment from becoming worthless.

If there is one fork with 5-10% of the hashing power why do you think anyone would care about it?

What do you mean by dump their coins on the other fork? You mean like try to sell them on an exchange? But the majority of users would be on the new fork right so they would have the majority of coins so why does it matter if the core developers dump their coins? Do you believe it to really be so fragile that a dozen users could crash the whole thing just by selling their coins?

Have you considered that the real reason there hasn't been a change is that because the people that want it aren't actually in the majority?

Severe undefined behaviour by default doesn't appear to be a good language design choice.

Python is safe by default because you don't need to actively look for errors: when an error happens and there is no exception handling code you get a traceback, and the only way to ignore an exception is explicitly writing an (in)appropriate exception handling cause.
> But when I stopped taking my drugs, I was basically nonfunctional for months.

The body adjusts to compensate for the activity of the drug in the body, so the original problem frequently gets worse if the drug is taken away suddenly. There are strategies for helping people get off psychotropic drugs, but I don't think they cover this in psychiatrists' training programs.

Regardless of whether the law is justified or not, it should be very simple for Airbnb to force compliance to these laws. In other words, it should be simple for Airbnb to see a person having multiple properties within this district/city and not allow it if it's against the law, or limit the number of days a person can rent a properly out. However, Airbnb doesn't seem to do this.

Airbnb is a great platform, which I've used both domestically (in USA) and internationally, and I really appreciate what it offers. What I don't understand is the flaunting of laws by saying it's not their problem, that they shouldn't police their users and that their users are responsible for what they do. I can understand the argument, but it's not difficult to handle these cases and Airbnb should really do more (arguably their due diligence) to handle them.
It's interesting as a thought experiment, but it assumes that all decent plumbers would be conducting their business in a Chinese-owned Crytocurrency (Bitcoin), via a website registered in Libya (ly) and hosted by the Russian mafia, rather than just coming clean and paying their damn taxes.

I have a creeping suspicion that you might be a sociopath. (edit: not meant as an insult. We tend to project our morals and biases onto other people, and the situation you're describing hinges on all plumbers and all clients being sociopaths interested only in their own benefit.)

A lot of disagreement on this but it's basically true. Homeowners want to protect their investment and their comfortable lifestyle so they make sure local government restricts others from diluting what they have. If more houses could be built on the same sized sections, then poorer people would move in because they'd be cheaper. Poor people tend to be more of a disturbance to their neighbors so that would make the incumbents lose what they paid for when they bought their high priced properties in peaceful suburbia. Same goes for hotels which attract transient people that the existing property owners want to keep away.

This happens on many scales. We don't want poor strangers living in our bedroom, on our lawn, in our suburb or in our country. So we have trespass laws, zoning and immigration restrictions to protect us from them.

What the heck Joseph, when you first started talking about lightning I spent considerable effort trying to convince you that "hub" was a bad model for thinking about or describing these things.

Blockstream has no intention of ever monetizing lightning on Bitcoin in any way (nor do I have any idea how we could do so); our interests for it in the case of Bitcoin are only to promote and expand the use of Bitcoin. (We also hope to use it to enable other kinds of asset systems).
A lot of people on minimum wage are students and minors living with their parents, who don't have their own apartment leases. Many minimum wage workers are already in subsidized or rent-controlled housing. Plus, most of the wage increases are going to be phased in, because everyone knows that raising the minimum wage to $15 all at once would be too great a change. It's also worth pointing out that only about 4-5% of the workforce earns the minimum wage nationwide. So I don't think the relationship between minimum wage increases and rent increases is very easy to quantify.

Furthermore, most of the predictions about negative consequences of minimum wage increases have failed to materialize. The explanation for this is one of the things that economists have no consensus on, and their disagreement has actually increased over time.

In any case, I find it very unlikely that a minimum-wage earner could afford to buy a house, even at the $15 level.

Add-on type systems have the disadvantage of being add-on, that means that the vast majority of code will not have any type information associated therefore reasoning what code accepts or returns is just as it is without the added type system.

I was thinking of using Typed Clojure, but the advantages would unfortunately not translate to the libraries that I use.
So because we haven't created a law designating some group, defined by the consensual behavior they have in common, a protected class, it's morally okay to discriminate against them? Also, you mention "corporation's customers", so am I correct to assume that you ascribe to a moral system that sees anything that is associated with corporations as immoral and fair game for mistreatment and discrimination?

Here is what is happening:

Cloudflare Indian datacentres are hosted on Airtel's networks.

Airtel by default blocks and replaces(with a notice) Piratebay traffic all across it's network due to multiple court orders.

Cloudflare India servers call the piratebay origin servers and ask for a master copy and Airtel instead gives the substitute page on all the http traffic from piratebay to cloudflare servers.

Cloudflare servers display the malformed page they received from Airtel to all clients(all ISP's) asking for piratebay in India.
Coffee break calls are such a great idea!

Not sure if this is the case for adobe connect, but other, similar products (such as blackboard's collaborate) are trying to move across to webRTC. This is complicated because Apple doesn't support webRTC yet, which I'd imagine is why Adobe hasn't moved across just yet.
It's only airtel blocking the connection between Cloudflare India's servers and the Origin server's for piratebay because Cloudflare uses Airtel as it's ISP for it's datacentres.

Fortunately Reason compiles to ordinary OCaml compiled modules, so everything they write can seamlessly interop with regular OCaml in both ways.

Exactly! It's about having an easy upgrade path, generally reducing the amount of work for common operations, and for more flexibility engineering your cloud architecture. It's nice that it happens to be SSD, but highest performance or lowest cost per GB isn't necessarily the only cost saving factor.

This a main reason I still use Amazon AWS: I can create an instance and if it doesn't perform, upgrade it until it does. Then when I'm finished, kill the instance and save the volume. Next time I need it, just create the instance for the job, perhaps at spot pricing, then kill it again.
Sorry Greg! I didn't mean it in the sense that Blockstream is planning for a hub at all! I was being sarcastic, but perhaps that wasn't conveyed properly in text. I thought the "if they ever make one" was sufficient, but it didn't properly convey the cultural apprehension towards those types of systems and could be seen as deeply disrespectful. We were definitely in agreement from the start that decentralization in the protocol layer was immensely important.

Are you arguing that any law, whatever its content, should be followed unquestionably just because it's the law?

In the United States, anyway, disdain for laws you disagree with is baked into the culture. The American Revolution and the Civil Rights Movement are both all about breaking laws that were considered unjust, and popular entertainment is packed full of vigilantes breaking the law in pursuit of a greater good.

With that sort of mental baggage swimming about in people's heads, is it really any surprise when large numbers of Americans decide to simply ignore laws and regulations they don't believe are justified?

Your ability to articulate does not make you any more right.

Really, this whole thread is a testimony to how easy it is to slide into a dictatorship or fascism.

The only time when morality matters is when it is challenged. If you de-humanize others - no matter who - you are also de-humanizing yourself and that road leads fairly directly into hell.

I've spent enough time with people who spent time in those hells to recognize the prelude to one.

I strongly suggest you study up on the person of 'El Presidente' a little bit more before you come out in defense of this person. A couple of hours reading might sway you to the position that this person is going to cause absolutely nothing but trouble (and in fact, is already causing it).

Hi, ptokb3, you seem to have created this account to make these posts but you see fit to go on about scrutiny. Seems odd to me.

Blockstream does support Bitcoin infrastructure development-- something much of the Bitcoin industry has failed to do, perhaps a company you work for and are concealing through your anonymous posts?-- but that is a far cry from a "majority" by any definition. E.g. in the last 3 months 58 people have made contributions to Bitcoin Core, 7 work for Blockstream. Sorted by commits in the last year, among the top ten, 3 work for blockstream (all founders of the company). -- just as we've done for the last 5+ years (the same group has been in the top 10 contributors pretty much the whole time).

Whats your actual allegation beyond pointing out that we spend some resources supporting the public infrastructure we all depend on?
It's nothing to do with being a programmer - it's to do with not being a designer. Believe it or not some people are good at both.

For Bayesian I recommend PyMC3 (the default version of PyMC is still 2, but 3 is functional and in fast development). Once you know a bit of Bayesian statistics, there is a wonderful tutorial in Jupyter Notebooks: https://github.com/markdregan/Bayesian-Modelling-in-Python

(Also, I've learnt from it the practical difference of fixed priors vs hierarchical priors.)
This is my first ever post/comment on this site and, strangely, it is in admiration of a uniquely articulate comment (one of many on HN, frankly)on a rather timely and intriguing topic. I am far removed from the events in the US (2016 presidential elections). However, I am appalled that (US) presidential politics can degenerate into openly racist dialogue from the ultimate representative of a mainstream political party. I honestly thought that, in a post-Obama period, "identitarian" politics had been definitively repudiated. But as the Brexit vote, the European immigration crisis, and Trump's insurgent campaign have demonstrated, I was very wrong. Although there is no conspiracy here, I am lost as to what it means and, quite honestly, I suspect so are many others.

I said "corporation's customers" because AirBNB is a corporation, don't read between the lines too hard.

Protected classes are not arbitrary, in most cases they are groups of people who are not self-selected. You can't easily change your age or skin color, but it is trival to use booking.com instead of airbnb.

Likening your right to party 0300 in an airbnb rental flat to civil rights movement is disingenuous.
The primary thing commentators on HN don't acknowledge is that dealing with legal issues, whether in court or phone calls/letters, costs money and time. That takes a company away from their core objective of delivering service to their customers (in the round) and making a profit. Most companies would rather spend their money on product/customer development than hire more lawyers. But, there's a lot of low-level 'rights holders' hassle for many digital companies. A steady and constant stream of Copyright and (separately) DMCA take-down notices. When I was in a service provider we didn't think it was our job to resolve those issues (it's for the end-user site to defend whether it is or is not copyright infringing) because we were just providing a service: as a SP you're just caught in the cross-fire.

It comes down to them making a risk assessment on whether they're more likely to incur cost from taking down versus ignoring. In some cases the balancing act is due to the nature of the outcomes: on the one side if you do nothing it's unlikely (low probability) but you could land-up in court and incur millions, versus on the other side refunding a customer their annual subscription and taking a reputation hit - it's the asteroid crash problem. It's notable that they asked their customer for a response and didn't get (what they consider) a satisfactory one. Who knows the specifics in this situation, but they won't have done it just on a whim!
But we already have a framework of laws governing the business of offering short term rentals. Why is creating and enforcing this new framework better than asking people who want to run hotels to just follow the existing rules? It doesn't sound simpler.
