Sure, it's personal to some extent, but have you ever seen anyone sit down with a Vi/Ex/Ed-like for the first time and intuitively figured out how to work it?

It's also contextual for sure, but for the word to be meaningful at all in a UI design sense, one surely must draw the line somewhere before the required context is to know the editor from experience or by having studied its documentation. Otherwise it's an absolutely useless thing to point out for the sake of discussion. Anyone can use complex things intuitively given some exercise. That doesn't make things like theoretical physics particularly intuitive in themselves.
You don't need to believe in religion to be a chauvinist, though.

Actually, most if not all of those bombs are considered obsolete/decomissioned [1] and aren't an actual first or second weapon of choice if someone decides that a nuke is needed. So these weapons are far from being "crucial for NATO"...

Is he merciful to the Kurds that helps fight IS or is he bombing them?

Is he trying to force Germany to punish a comedian?

Is he trying to reintroduce death penalty?

Has he purged more than 2000 judges? Is it reasonable to think he has verified that all of them were bad judges during the two-three last days?

Europe will have to tolerate Erdogan until it starts reinvesting in its own military. Especially with the UK out of the picture, mainland Europe has very little military capability.
QT is in every way a better choice, except for the license.

Kivy is great, fun to use, but it suffers for the same thing that many python applications do: package management is a pain, packing is difficult (especially dependencies with c libraries), applications are slow, there are no threads (any action locks the UI), the bridge to native code is quite troublesome (especially on IOS), it uses a custom DSL for UI layout and the 'non native' widgets can be clunky.

Don't get me wrong; it's a fun platform, but really have a good play with it before you decide to use it for anything serious, especially for mobile targets.

(QT isn't perfect either; but its a rock solid platform for building real applications in. Ultimately though, you should really suck it up and write native UI for each platform and only share underlying application logic; if you don't you're just going down the road of various different levels of clunkiness on every platform).

Why Turkey is against US?

Simple: US started or participated in every war in last 50 years, so maybe they started coup in Turkey also?

US shows himself as a good guy, lawyer, builder, developer, savior and etc, etc. But in reality government of US (not people!) is war machine, as a bonus Hillary is a WARMACHINE (with big, bold letters)

So what do you expect from Turkey?

What US government loves:
- torturing
- oil
- mass surveillance
- killing innocent for the sake of their dual-faced democracy (even US government doesn't practice real democracy)
- and many more

So what do you expect from other countries?
Love? hell, no, what kind of love could be towards such shit guys.

I am only talking about US government not about people, I have lots of friends from there.

I think game-like style is not typical for Kivy apps which do not aim to be games, though looking native has not been Kivy's goal either.

I've recently released Viorise, a video rank tracker aimed for desktop platforms (https://viorise.com), though it may also qualify as an Android UI, I've followed Material Design guidelines for most of the widgets and the overall layout of the app.

There have been some proposals for theming (https://github.com/kivy/kivy/issues/691), but none of them were truly favored by the community. There are also a couple of third-party approaches like KivyMD, or FlatKivy. What they lack is a swappable theme, since there is no true theming support, they are just styled widgets.

Finding a good way to make a declared theme independent from widgets, but still keeping it customizable at runtime has been our main issue. The difficulty comes from theming being much more than a backgorund color, we should also be able to define certain behaviors and interactions, animations etc. These are rather easy and IMHO pleasant to achieve in the scope of widgets, but we haven't yet found a good way to decouple them.
I am not an ornithologist, but my first impression is that it isn't a "funeral". Birds do occasionally hit stuff and this seems more like a response to a possibly unconscious bird. Poke it, yell a bunch, maybe it'll come to. When the bird is actually dead the instinctive response is prolonged?

Some "preserved street" everybody visits is going to suck, sure. For something like that, more space is better. But if you go to one that isn't just a tourist attraction, they're very nice. For example, there's one I've been to a couple of times, I think it's Nanluogu, where the main street is unbelievably crowded but if you just hang a left or right, suddenly everything becomes fairly quiet and calm.
Turkey is actually quite friendly with Iraqi Kurdistan.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere how domestication brings about cuteness in animals. When animals are breed to be less aggressive they look more like babies. We are not even sure if humans are naturally selecting the traits (as baby like features seem less aggressive) or that just inherently happens when aggression is removed (ie lower testosterone would cause less maturity).

I believe the study on domesticating foxes showed this. As they removed aggressive foxes from the gene pool the left overs were unbelievable "cute" with soft fur, round eyes, etc.
Seriously a domesticated fox is a pretty animal.

Of course I believe there is an exception to this of the house hold cat. Supposedly cats are technically not domesticated (I'll find link on this shortly but yes this mainly a joke as domestication is likely a multi-faceted continuum).
Sorry, but that's not a good enough reason to put my privacy at risk. I have no obligation to make Microsoft designers' jobs easier and no amount of telemetry will stop garbage[1] like the Windows 10 upgrade popup from being developed.

Both scenarios are implausibly contrary to my experience.

Not necessarily disbelieving you, but why do you say this? Every place I've worked or contracted at with PII, I've had to sit through training about not doing this, and management provided tools for proper handling.

I don't mean to say that because there are policies that no one ever breaks them. I've also encountered places where what was encouraged on the ground was different than what was listed in policy.

If the world was an action movie, America would definitely be one of the big bad guys in it. It's time for Americans to realize they are not the good guys in this story, that they haven't been the good guys since the 1940's, and that the only idiots that think Americans are the good guys in this hypothetical movie are stupid, ignorant Americans. The rest of us Americans are disgusted at what is and has happened in our names and by the many vile actions of our country.
I expect the wholesale service is a very different animal to retail. I'd expect them to lose custom very quickly if they weren't reliability competitive. The customer is usually going to blame whoever they pay the adsl bill to, even when they're not the cause.

TT often topped the retail broadband complaints charts. Though BT "won" the last one I saw with the EE merger.
A few years ago, when I was similarly motivated I subscribed to the print edition of The Economist. I made a point of reading each issue cover to cover, which required a determined effort to complete every week. I don't know if I was ever "caught up" but I felt more informed and if something didn't make it into the magazine, then that was a reasonable proxy for it lacking great importance.

The disclaimer is that these days I just accept that it is impossible to keep up with things I'm not all that interested in, the things I can do little about, and the things someone wants me to be outraged over.

Good luck.

You don't know that. If people don't like the telemetry but it's really useful, I'd be wondering what the fuck I should do too - wouldn't you???
This should be common knowledge.

Here is one Paulson quote:

>You could just see it. We could see it and it was one of the most frustrating--when I look at the things I could have done better, there were a lot of them and they come out in the book, but the communications challenges were huge. I mean, I sat there when the capital markets froze, before we went to Congress, and the money markets weren't working, and I just tried to think about how to explain this. Because I knew--I was seeing major, blue-chip industrial companies that were having trouble raising financing, so I knew with $3.4 trillion of money market funds, and with everything that was just getting ready to break apart, that if the system had collapsed there'd be thousands and thousands and thousands of mainstream industrial companies--middle-sized companies, large companies--that wouldn't be able to raise their short-term funding, finance their inventories, pay their people. People wouldn't have been able to pay their bills. This would have rippled through the economy. We would then have had--well, today we have over 10% unemployment. That's terrible. And that's after everything we've done. If the system had collapsed, when we were on the brink, unemployement easily could have been at the 25% level that we saw at the Great Depression, and the value destruction--much greater than we've had in terms of home prices and in terms of people's savings accounts and stock portfolios and so on.

Exactly. You can only test for these scenarios to a certain extent and even when everything works as expected during tests, things still tend to break during production when shit hits the fan.
> I personally think it was inevitable given the history of Turkey but it was carried out so incompetently and with little to no support from the military leadership that it's at least possible that it was intentionally made to happen the way it did

It's been reported that Turkish intelligence knew about it and did nothing.
Your comment is full of unsupported propaganda statements. For the sake of your own rationality, please try to make a rational argument supporting them.
> There is no excuse for human rights abuses, but if the majority of Turks believe they've been chafing under Kemalism for 90 years, and want to try something different, what right do we have to presume to dictate to them?

Democracy is not simply the rule of majority. There are certain fundamental aspects of democracy that are sacrilege and can not be broken down even if 99/100 citizens want it.

As an American in Türkiye, I do not believe that we had anything directly to do with the coup, but I believe we knew about it, and we informed him ahead of time.

Until about his recent to the US for Muhamed Ali's funeral, Erdoğan was his usual grumpy-old-grandfather self. He was on television every day spreading conspiracy theories, hatred, and misogyny. Within days of returning, he surpised us all by

- Repairing ties with Israel
- Sending two ships of aid to Gaza (which was related to the rift with Israel)
- Apologizing to Russia
- Repairing trade and tourism ties with Russia (which is important. Between construction, agricultural exports and tourism, Russia means 10-15% of Türkiye's economy
- Ordering the mayor of Istanbul (half) apologize to a Korean guy whose store was attacked on Ramazan, and chastizing the brutes who lead this attack.
- Showing some flexibility about the schools being forced to convert into Imam Hatip (think Madrassa-Lite)
- Suggesting that rich and educated Syrians would be given citizenship
- Changing his public EU-accession rhetoric from dismissal to willing to negotiate

Even before the Atatürk airport attack everybody just knew something was coming, and the more general conspiracy theory was that Kerry either warned him of something coming, or made some pretty serious threats.

There is some credibility to this theory. Before the past few attacks embassies sent people home or told them not to show up for work, the Bastille day celebrations at the French Embassies in Ankara and Istanbul were canceled, friends at the US consul told us to stay home and cancel travel plans the day of the Ataturk attack (Surreally I flew back from a vacation 3 hours prior)

Unfortunately, Erdoğan has been very emboldened by the Coup, and most of this progress is gone for good.

We are hoping this all dies down, but I wouldn't advise visiting here this year. The nationalistic sentiment is very strong, the thugs are all out in force.

Well, I wouldn't entirely advise it. The very pleasant direct flight on Turkish Airlines from SFO to IST is about $1k right now. In Taksim nice hotels that used to cost $150/night now cost about $60. Hostels with breakfast are down to $7-$8 pretty much nation-wide. The beach-towns on the EGE & the Med rely almost solely on Russian and British touritsts who no longer come. Pansiyons (think B&B before AirBNB), AirBNB rooms, hotel rooms, and resort packages are almost free.

The dollar and the euro are very strong, and the GBP is still respectable. You no longer have to wait in line for attractions like Aga Safiya, the Basilica Cistern, the Topkapi Palace,or wade through a mob of people in the Grand Bazaar or the Spice Market.

Unfortunately this means that the music in Istanbul has died. Most of the best venues for Balkan/Turkish music have either shut down or switched to Spotify, many of the regular street musicians have given up.

Why is a totally quantitative comment that is relevant to the discussion being downvoted?

Can't see any HN posting rules that this violates. On the contrary I can very well see its major interest to the discussion at hand.
I don't think it's fair to put this on either the EU or Turkey alone. There were many factors prevent Turkish membership but the parent is right: religion played a huge role in the public opinion.

I remember Merkel actually saying that Europe was founded on "Christian ideals" (nevermind the actual ideals having more to do with post-renaissance secularism than original Christian dogma) -- the same Merkel nationalists are now blaming for the "Islamification" of Europe.

If Turkey had been more compatible and the EU members had been less bigoted, I imagine Turkey could have even helped with the "Islamification" so many people are now worrying about -- it would created a European example for how Islam can work under Western ideals and prevented a lot of the guilt and xenophobia that lies at the root of a lot of the conflicts with Islam we now have in Europe.

As I said downthread, Facebook was the highest bidder for this interaction-required CSRF bug; the next-highest bidder would probably be $50.

There is virtually no market at all for serverside bugs, because they have no half-life: as soon as they're detected, they stop working against all targets instantaneously. Contrast that with browser clientsides, which have long half-lives.

A SQL injection bug in a Facebook service would not fetch much more than $50 from anyone but Facebook itself.
I don't find a good link for the following statement but I saw it mentioned a few times lately and it seems that Erdogan was banished from political life because of it.

At a conference in 1998, Erdogan quoted from an Islamic poem: "Democracy is just the train we board to reach our destination. The mosques are our barracks, the minarets our bayonets, the cupolas our helmets and the faithful our soldiers."

Like anything else, consider the audience. If you can engage directly with a decision maker, or even a gatekeeper, great. Not always possible, or helpful.

I would caution that, while generally a solid approach, this does not advantage you in the final hiring, only in the initial screening stage. Not a bad thing, but keep in mind there are multiple stages to getting hired, and avoiding the first filter pass shouldn't be where the majority of your efforts are focused.

Of course, if you're goal is to get into a specific company, vs "any company" or "any of these companies", your approach will be different.

"One of the main arguments I make in the book - and perhaps the most controversial argument, which has gotten me attacked from both left and right - is that Islam is, in fact, exceptional in how it relates to politics, law and governance. In both theory and practice, Islam has been, is and will continue to be resistant to secularization. In other words, Islam is different. It is fundamentally different than other major religions."

I 100% agree with this, and I think it is for the same reasons that Islam was such a tremendously empowering force for its followers prosperity in the Middle Ages.
Too much drama?

- PKK is killing your soldiers what do you do? This has nothing to do with IS.

- Ok, he has a temper and does not have a good sense of humor but please, did you find "that" poem funny?

Though yes, reintroduction of death penalty is a very bad idea. Also things are being done too hastily. All allegations are need to be verified.
> I cannot avoid the comparison to Ingress, the first popular game of this kind.

Interesting comment as Ingress and Pokemon Go are both developed by Niantic, Inc. So maybe what is a "bad" game design decision that makes it less fun is just a good business decision for some reason that only Niantic knows.
