He is evil

I'm sure that some people say that. So what? Some other politicians that have been called the same: G.W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Nigel Farage, Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande.

He is religious

Are you suggesting that he isn't?

He is undemocratic

And there's ample evidence that he is. Democracy requires freedom of the press and free speech. When his government raids newspaper headquarters and installs puppet editors, he very much is undemocratic.

He talks about death penalty

It's not that he talks about it, it's about why and when he talks about it. Namely, to get rid of political rivals.

we would rather support coup dictat sisi in egypt who gave 6000 people death penalty for "protests"

Who is "we" here? Most European governments did as much about that as they do about Erdogan's latest purge: they wagged their finger.
I feel like these purges are a relatively common practice? I've heard people say things to the effect of "Oh, I had that app but I deleted it because I never used it and I needed more space." That's usually what prompts me to delete some unused apps.

This blog feels like it's a few several years too late.

Toxoplasmosis is believed to slow reaction times in humans but is dormant in the brain unless you become immunocompromised. The effect is has on rats is quite specific: it makes them attracted to the smell of cat urine, this bringing them closer to cats to be eaten.

Since cat urine is still quite unpleasant smelling as reported by all all cat owners, your hypothesis appears flawed.

You also have a prior problem: why do people like cats if they previously did not have cats and thus not have a vector (cat faeces) to be exposed to toxoplasmosis?
Afaik most modern PHP or Python frameworks have preprocessing build in as well. (Not always because of js). I see what you are saying tho, if you have a plain PHP application and edit code via FTP, SCSS is a huge step in between.

For every semi modern environment it should be a non issue.

> I had always heard this explained as fundamentalists leaving Turkey because its secular laws were more restrictive

Not so much fundamentalists fleeing from secularism, but people emigrating from the poorest backwater parts of the country, where, coincidence or not, both religious traditions and AKP are much stronger than in well-educated urban regions.

Except "learning" in Etherium's case would have been to abandon the currency due to its insecurity, probably fork the code, and just start over from block 0 again.

The fact that didn't happen meant most people didn't want it to happen. If people did want a reset to compensate for the insecurity in the DAO it would have happened.

A lot of devs I know seem to think that Uber's big win was having an app. I think that's why I hear things like Tinder being labeled as "Uber for dating". I've seen a few devs that think you can just create an app that's really just a front-end to their product's webpage.

The app was helpful for Uber, definitely. But moreso, was the change in the way they handled service: ratings, payment, hailing, etc. The app just facilitated those changes.

SuggestHN: Tagging of HN stories in which those involved are commenting?
Would it be possible - and useful - to tag stories in which the people who made the thing, are in the company, are named in the article, or what-have-you, are commenting. IMO those HN stories are often more interesting and knowing you can contact someone involved can be useful too.

Currently, eg in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12126388, one has to read the comments and notice that the creator has piped up.

There's a possible problem of verification of people, but it might work without worrying about that for long-held HN accounts.

No, the problem is you've replaced code-is-contract with an insider-run Politburo who decides to put referenda up to a vote with their preferred choice set as default and propagandized to the community from the top-down. I have long thought anarchist digital currency is bound to fail because of the need for a political superstructure able to make some decisions. The problem is now you've thrown out 3000 years of political thought and replaced it with ... whatever the hell the process behind these decisions is now.

What you would actually need to do this right is put real thought and effort into how to have an effective, impartial and ethical governing body managing a digital currency. Giving the primary stakeholders carte blanche to make these decisions is basically recreating a virtual version of "company scrip".
> Why do government projects and agencies have to be poorly run?

Because lots of people, inside and outside of government, derive significant money, power, or both from government dysfunction. A classic case of goal misalignment.

Gays can't decide whether or not to be gay, just as people can't decide the color of their skin. The US values protecting people against discrimination based on unalterable traits.

Making intentionally inflammatory comments on Twitter is alterable, so it's not analogous to being gay.
Can someone explain this? Mr. Trump doesn't seem very libertarian which is what Thiel identifies with, so why is he supporting him?

Thiel also seems to hold some confusing opinions (not very pro-immigration despite working closely with and benefiting from immigrants such as Elon Musk and Max Levchin).
I'm not expressing any opinion on the question of whether GitLab is or is not an open source company, but:

Opensource.org isn't just some random website by a random dude. It was setup by (among others) the very same guy that invented the phrase "open source". It should rightfully be considered the canonical definition of open source.

In my experience there is also a group of people that simply don't care about exact definitions or legal implications. They have this overly simplistic view that having access to the source code is all there is to it to be "open source". That's probably the group of people you refer to when you say "the community at large". I have no idea how big group is, or whether it is big at all. But I do think they are wrong.
Zerohedge seems to be a bit sensationalist:)

- 1 YEAR AGO, as GAAP: Microsoft reported a $2000 millions in losses

- TODAY, as GAAP: Microsoft reported $3000 millions in profits

YET the story is spun negatively in terms of GAAP, and people will follow that negativity despite having the data literally in their faces!

In this case, what wall street takes into account is Microsoft progress in the cloud, how many physical and virtual widgets they are selling and cost's control as well as currency fluctuations, taxes, etc...
Turkey is a sovereign country, and its policies should be determined by majority of its people. If, for example it decides to become another Saudi Arabia, so be it - no amount of international meddling is going to help. I'm sure Turks know how they want to live without the whole world whispering into their ears.

Additionally, most(?) of the code wheels had multiple discs stacked together. i.e. it wouldn't be a two-dimensional lookup table, but three- or four-. IMO it would be more likely for someone to write a simple software utility to emulate it, but it would probably be simpler than that to just remove the check from the game :).

Isn't Gitlab EE open source ? In wich case, what is this repo : https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/ ?
Peter has made a huge fortune by seeing things other's did not.

This might be a good idea for people who are staunchly anti republican to reexamine their beliefs and look to see what Peter sees. Here is the current GOP platform if you are interested:

I mean if Trump is going to be president, and to be honest I can't see it happening, don't you want him surrounded by some incredibly smart people like Thiel that can talk him down from some of his more "bolder" ideas?

The Republican's have some very good platform points they are pursuing. The return of Glass Stegal is the biggest one I can see. There is almost no way I can see the Democrats under Clinton proposing this.
A better title would be "I won't give talks about being a woman in tech". She's not against talking about it in general.
He probably thinks a Trump administration will be better for him than a Clinton administration. It's pretty much down to those two.

It's also an opportunity for him to raise his own profile in political circles.
I've used Gillete II disposables all my life, other brands don't shave me and more blades don't improve and are more expensive. I switched to safety blades a few weeks ago, I still don't get it right, got a sampler collection of blades, none of them can shave my 2-3 days old beard except for Feather (they barely cut my hair), which from time to time cuts me a lot. Are you supposed to loose the handle a bit so the blade has some wiggle room and therefore cuts more?
With a bit of reading comprehension, you'd notice that I don't disagree – Erdogan is one of the reasons I'm glad there's a "biological term limit" that should hit him in the next 10 years. The people are equally to blame (though it becomes harder when the disappearance of democratic institutions makes ignorance more understandable). Also I guess that Mr. Trump is a good example of what can happen even in the most stable democracies.

But that doesn't negate the fact that the fate of nations can be influenced from the outside. Actions – those in foreign policy – have consequences. Otherwise: why bother?

This also doesn't fit in your narrative of me being critical of some sort of post-colonialistic lack of altruism. I am saying that Europe had a golden opportunity to gain a strong foothold in the middle east and just let it go to waste. It's also another failure in the rising culture war between democracy and authoritarian capitalists (Putin, Erdogan, Trump, China, Hungary). This time around, the enemy isn't quite as stupid as during the cold war...
Is it a triumph for "democracy" when one king overthrows another? You're describing a scenario in which neither the current government nor the hypothetical replacement (or means of putting it in power) is democratic. It's only in the past few centuries that the majority of would-be rulers have felt compelled to even make a pretense of respecting democracy, so I don't understand what makes this so mind-bending.

I'd really like to see a secure (-enough) video chat app which integrated well with mattermost & murmur/mumble (which I wish integrated really well with one another). It'd be even better were it end-to-end encrypted of course, and while I'd (of course) prefer excellent security, I'd be willing to trade a little of that for good-enough-to-resist-public-WiFi-threats.

Something like self-hosted Signal for video.

To provide a quote from the article:

..two lobbyists who managed to find their way onto the five-person panel testifying. They represented the interests of traditional IT contractors, who seem to believe it is their right to overcharge taxpayers for complex computer systems that don’t work. Even though, as one congressperson at the hearing put it, those special interests are likely to view the USDS and 18F “with a jaundiced eye,” they were given the opportunity to seize on the authority issue as a way to cast doubts on the Obama tech surge.
Did you read the article? Where Scott, the author, said verbatim:

I've been recruiting software engineers for nearly 20 years and started a side resume business (resumeraiders.com) a couple years ago when seeing how much people were being charged for sub-par resumes. Your question is somewhat common.

A Skills section is usually for the purposes of an ATS (automated resume scanner) or a human that will be looking for certain buzzwords, like a language or a framework that is most important to the job requirement. Recruiters know they can go to a skill section and find those things quickly.

I think in your situation, listing specific examples of your accomplishments is going to be even more important. You can tell me "I'm an all-around developer who cares about getting things done..." all day long, but listing specific things you've developed to illustrate that point is much more effective. It's not unlike people who say they have excellent communication skills - don't tell us, show us by writing something or demonstrate it in conversation.

Recruiters and HR are looking for those buzzwords, but engineers reviewing the resumes are looking for an interesting project that they can ask you about. Ideally it will involve a problem the company is trying to solve.

Start with a summary to quantify your experience - this starts the reader off with a big picture of who you are. Don't trust the reader to figure out you're a full stack dev, because the person first reviewing your resume might not be technical at all. They need to be told specifically what you do, and it's your job to do that. Your summary might start "Full stack developer with n years of experience across a mix of languages and platforms in Agile/TDD development environments. Additional skills in Project Management..." or similar.

Next, experience section with responsibilities (the day to day) in a couple sentences in paragraph form, then bullets for your novel accomplishments.

the EU sets the bar very low for rate of executing trade agreements.
The best thing about being BT is that you own everything so you don't have to justify anything to anyone. Since half of the lords have long term shares in the monopoly the moment that it went private, then your back is covered as far as law is concerned so long as you pay your dividends. You can just laugh as the customer goes somewhere else, because you will still be picking up 75% of the broadband bill.

I also love how BT pays out so much to shareholders, and the public purse bankrolls the infrastructure, then everyone pays BT wholesale. What an outstanding deal.

BT is corrupt and I would like to see it fragmented.

No. I'll go ahead and target my explanations to the exact people who may not understand the topic being discussed. If you feel like you're being looked down upon, that's your insecurity, not my problem.
Sol – C'est La Vie (ft. Otieno Terry)
Nice. Good to see this has a shared storage option (Redis) for load balanced servers. The LE HTTP challenge gives no guarantee which A record it will use. Similarly, if your LB chooses another server even behind the same IP, it'd have to share the challenge state. I haven't read deeply, but I assume it handles the race conditions that can occur with auto renewal (i.e. different servers triggering auto renewal at the same time, overusing LE and hitting the quota faster). It was something I struggled with during the implementation of pluggable storage adapters for Caddy[0].

But suppose they do open source EE. How do they make money then? They can't pay employees with "thanks" from the community. Donations don't cut it. Consultancy doesn't scale; see the other discussion thread. GitLab would go under or would have to be forced to scale back development significantly. I don't think anybody really benefits from that long-term.

Large free software communities have a choice of course. They can use an alternative (but which one? they are all inferior to GitLab as far as I can see), or they can fork GitLab CE and add the features they need themselves. But let's not kid ourselves that open sourcing GitLab EE is good for the community in the long term.

If you're comparing to the paper bureaucracies of yore, our bureaucracy isn't even that bad. I mean, look at the size of the country and the number of functions, they ran that on PAPER until the 70s-80s?

The problem with the software transition is that they're sticking with the "hire a HIGH TECH contractor" approach rather than the "hire some coders to work inside the business" approach. Compare SAP/Oracle products to internally developed line-of-business software.
Well, you could get a little less myopic, zoom out of the purely American perspective where left=Democrat and right=Republican, and see that none of the publications you named are left in any way.

how cool would it be if this obama tech team really bolstered recruitment of more software engineers into gov't?

I'm talking federal, state, and local level. Just like each state has senators and reps; 1 engineer for every 1M residents that live in the state.

each state's teams would tackle problems with software, share solutions to widespread, formulaic issues with one another. it'd be a iconic and fresh-breath-of-air kind of way to speed up efficiency and effectiveness (government and big corps are SO SLOW)
... Aaand, thread is downmodded.
Agreed on the consensus; the nice thing about making decisions with a currency is that people can vote with their money. But I can buy other state-backed currencies today, some of which I trust to represent my interests. They have the benefit of an established legal system too, which Ethereum does not.
