> I don't think he staged the failed coup himself

Indeed. It is is pretty irrational for a grandee to "fake a coup" if the said grandee is not in 100% control of military-spook set. (And if 100%, it makes no sense, since you already have full control.)

> He spread the narrative that the coup was staged not to defend Atatürk's principles but by a religious sect his ruling party fell out with.

You know, you can try and spin this n times till eternity, but it is pretty clear that either US or NATO tried to remove the legal government of a NATO member.

Well, sure, I mean you can say the same thing about almost anything a country holds against another country. But this isn't what people mean when they use these terms.
"those that do it well" is subjective. It's hindsight. Very often, "well" will mean "what I wanted to hear".

Maybe somebody didn't compress their live "properly" for your target, and they passed under your radar. But you don't know.

Just an example: you. I just took a look at your homepage and the "About Me" box. Great summary, beyond the "Caprhone" typo: but I'd say that your description is not at all deep. You're a developer, sysadmin, copywriter: do you really do ALL (or any) of those things really well, or you're a bit of a generalist that produces a so-so result in everything?

I took a look at your CV: If I need somebody who's a great, pixel perfect, web designer, is that you? I know what you've done, but I don't know what you excel at.

It's not easy!
Lets say you've thrown away the ast, don't have a token stream, etc, but do still have access to the source of the function. Getting the function length is O(1). At worst, its a subtraction. Lexing it is considerably more expensive, and doing so just to improve the heuristic may not be worth the time.
From the http://theranos.com/test-menu only HSV1 has been cleared by the FDA. They could do this through a regulatory loophole of "laboratory developed tests". This loophole has also been used by Strand Life Sciences and Pathway Genomics and Admera Health according to a www.theverge.com article.

Keep in mind those military coups have generally been relatively peaceful. Erdogan called the coup leaders a "junta" but that evokes the wrong images. The military is sworn to uphold the ideals of the Republic. The police is sworn to serve the government. The military has always tried to keep civilians out of the conflicts.

As a German and knowing my country's history I think a violent escape hatch is always necessary and justified. Both Germany and the US have something quite similar except they don't have a designated protector but instead put that duty on their citizens -- which means the citizens would have to fight against professional soldiers, which is exactly what a military coup would avoid.

You cite Popper, I cite Clausewitz: violence should be avoided, but if all else fails it should be regarded as the continuation of politics with other means. The important distinction is that it must be temporary and it must be avoided if at all possible.

The coups wouldn't be necessary if it weren't for autocrats like Erdogan who try to corrupt the ideals they were supposed to uphold. Turkish military coups are the equivalent of law enforcement using lethal force: it should never happen, but when it becomes absolutely necessary it will save more lives than it costs.

I'd even go so far as to say that if post-WW1 Germany had been modelled like Turkey, the nazis could have never risen to power. Unless the government, like Erdogan did, corrupted the military by replacing its leadership with its conspirators.

I'm quite similar to you, problems are what motivate me and I also don't have a degree.

First thing I would do in your position is to get a degree. In my case it's for immigration. I just need that piece of paper so I'm looking at more practical universities, not necessarily prestigious. I'm looking at WGU[1] because they geared around professionals who might already know course content. Regardless, put that $130k to good use.

What I do in my spare time is contribute to open source projects. If I can't find one that piques my interest, I start one (and subsequently they get no attention, but that's not the point). I work to get paid. Right now I'm lucky enough to be working on some interesting graph theory problems, but it hasn't always been that way and nor will it necessarily stay that way forever. If programming is your hobby, maintain that hobby. Your employer has other things to worry about.

I apologise, that summary was inaccurate. But parent's wording seemed to indicate that the SSI had sent the letter to the wrong recipient when that was not the case. I wanted to clear that up.

The problem is that SSI sent the data unencrypted.
Particularly weird since DSC didn't offer a better razor. They looked at the existing state-of-the-art, scaled back marginally, and dropped the obscene markup.

What companies use GAAP anymore? Do you know about anything about it?
To have a chance of joining the EU, Turkey had to implement EU rules, and prepare for the free movement of people. It was nowhere near doing that.

The following is quoted from https://fullfact.org/europe/turkey-likely-join-eu/

Turkey first applied to join what was then the EEC in 1987. It was declared an eligible candidate in 1997. Negotiations were formally opened in 2005.

Now, in 2016, negotiations have closed on just one out of 35 chapters—‘science and research’, which was completed in 2006, the year after it was opened.

Of the remaining 34 chapters, 14 have been opened for negotiation.

In 2006, the EU decided that until Turkey agrees to remove obstacles to free movement of goods (including transport restrictions) between it and Cyprus, no more chapters will be provisionally closed. Eight chapters (including areas fundamental to EU law, such as free movement of goods and right of establishment and freedom to provide services) will not even be opened.
So the news is ... a lie?
Revenue deferral is a very strange term. What basically happened is Microsoft claims Windows 10 is free and gives it away to everyone, hence the non-GAAP income. However, under GAAP, they are not actually giving Windows 10 away for free. Instead, they book revenue from Windows 10 but because they aren't charging for it, they must expense it as a promotional activity. What part of this is a revenue deferral? Nowhere, really, except that revenue which should have been booked is not (because it's free).

Microsoft obviously does not want to do this since it drops their earnings by a significant amount, but I'm sure their auditors gave them shit for it. Their auditors probably also made them book impairment charges on things they didn't feel were impaired.
Honestly, I wonder whats been taking so long for US leadership to understand that Erdogan has never been fond of Turkey being part "the west".

According to Erdogan, "crimes against humanity" are things like "Zionism" (or Israel) or "Turkish emmigrants integrating into [German] society" while the Sudanese president (acutally convicted for crimes against humanity) is not, because he's a muslim. Also the Armenian Genocide isn't one, nor the one against the Kurds. The EU is a "christian club" which is why "Turkey should stay out of it".

The two predecessors of his Party AKP were both outlawed and deemed unconstitutional because of such traits like sympathizing with jihadism. Quite an impressive CV for an "ally".
Yes that's true - The Data Protection Agency see no reason to take any further action in this case. Their assessment is that there is a low likelihood of an actual leak (based on a written statement from the Chinese employee who opened the letter). And the SSI has promised to send such information encrypted going forward.
Is it "disruptive innovation" though? It's textbook competition, and textbook efficient markets, but the product is exceedingly similar, and the subscription model isn't what's causing the shift. This just looks to me like competition in a formerly-monopolized space.

1. This was before the the DAO was even launched by a 3rd party. 2. Can't blame the guy for cashing in a bit, wouldn't you? (and just 25%, still keeping 75%) 3. and he also donated a good portion of it to charity.
Datatilsynet (Data Protection Agency) has no actual powers. They can only raise fingers. Parliament has decided not to actually grant them any powers but say mean things. Datatilsynet themselves have on numerous occasions admitted that they are pretty powerless.
This happens more than you think, although not usually at this scale and this high up in the chain. When a care institution needs to communicate with one of their vendors handling health records about a problem with a specific person's record, most IT-workers at those institutions tend to just mail all details they feel are relevant to the issue without even considering encryption or the necessity of sending all that data over the wire.

The use of physical post here was probably a good thing all things considered! They could just as easy have used WeTransfer or some other cloud solution — when it comes to security best practices people are very good at downplaying the potential risk, even when legislation does acknowledge it and forbids such treatment of sensitive personal information.

I would like to comment how biased this view is.
Yes the president is religious and cares about islam, his religion.

- Turkey gdp has increased unparalleled in the whole of europe under Erdogan.
- Erdogan has resettled 2.2 million syrian refugees in new cities (much more than whole of europe combined) with monthly food and money .. although 2.3 million are yet to settle.
- He was elected with 60% votes and current stats (before coupe) say he enjoys support of 70% of people.

This is sufficient for him deserving to be the democratically elected president of Turkey, even if with some wrongs (from turkish people perspective) here and there.

But for some people in west and unilaterally in your media:
- He is evil
- He is religious
- He is undemocratic
- He talks about death penalty (although quitely we would rather support coup dictat sisi in egypt who gave 6000 people death penalty for "protests")
- He has degraded morals (even though we in west have shown our real colors with regards to the refugee sit
That's like suggesting we should dumb-down computer programming article titles so people ignorant of the article and anything it contains might somehow get an inkling what their missing out on.
Which is what? Give every Dane a new health record?
Also worth noting that that huge army they have consists of conscripts (6-12 months of service), led by officers that are now selected by religion+loyalty to Erdogan rather than skill. Not exactly the kind of army you want to conquer the world with.
That isn't a developer mode. Nor is it called "GodMode". It's just a way to view control panel applets as a list rather than a hierarchy. It's the same as the search results list that's filtered when you search for something. It give you nothing that isn't available in the normal control panel, it's just a different view. The important part is the GUID, the part of the name before the period doesn't matter - you can replace "GodMode" with anything you like.
The people who went to the streets, against the coup, where Erdogan's supporters. The majority of the populace in Ankara & Istanbul stayed in their houses.

I.e. the only people on the streets where those against the coup. We do not know how many of the majority, who didn't take to the streets where for or against its success.
Honest centralization is still centralization. You may be assuming that everyone participating in a mining pool will get an independent vote. From my understanding, this is usually not the case. If a small number of mining pools control more than 50℅ of the capacity then just a few people can decide these types of matters, honestly or dishonestly. That's centralization.

It's not total centralization, but it's a far cry from the level of decentralization that would be possible if mining pools did not exist.

Ask HN: How do you use metered billing in you SaaS and don't get scammed?
I'm thinking about a SaaS with pay-as-you-go billing based on amount of computational resources consumed by a user at given month.

However if my service charges customers at end of each month via recurrent credit card payment nobody prevents some of customers to use at registration credit cards without sufficient amount of money, so effectively such customer won't pay while my service should pay to cloud provided (e.g. AWS) because additional computational resources are already consumed by this customer.

Even if my service has quota for resources that can be consumed by new users that can be increased by connecting to support nothing prevents such malicious customer to have a few accounts (each of them is connected to new online virtual VISA card) and use my service from multiple accounts and then don't pay for used resources.

How common such problem is and how does small businesses deal with it? I think that it is not a problem for large companies or VC-backed startups, but such malicious customers can destroy a bootstrapped startup.

I'm used to seeing it in financial news. But this is a tech site. Different audience.

Just like how I cringe when I see terms like "the cloud" in Business Week or one of those magazines.
I'm not a lawyer, but as I understood, the famous "the code is the law" quote is written in the DAO's terms of service (that's the whole reason why it could have any legal relevance at all: They basically tried to make the code their terms of service)

Therefore changing the code would be equivalent to updating the terms of service - and many judicial systems restrict when and how you can do that.

So I don't think it would be that easy.

Why would they (70%) not support him?
- He increased their gdp
- He reflects their view
- He is merciful to the refugees (settled 2.2 million refugees)

Why does he have to be pleasing to you?

Why do you support hillary.. she killed millions..
Why do you support obama... yest 320 and today 124 (in idp school in syria) dead becasue of him

Why do you support any damn politican in the west? All their pockets and morals are stained.

They compare no where close to Erdogan. But your media has him hating with all kind of funny things.

Anyways, You should be ashamed about the ban of headscarfs .. while claiming the "freedom"-superiority.

Instead you are giving it an example for the "democracy". Guess we should re-define democracy as "bigotcracy"
Oh nice. The white European blaming is already starting.

Let's forget that the majority of Turks elected a half-mad men that bases his discourse in the superiority of Islam and in the ethnical cleansing of Kurdistan.

Let's forget that Erdogan supported the Islamic state.

Let's forget that the Turks re-elected him after all this.

Let's forget all these pro-Erdogan demonstrations going on in the streets of Ankara and Istambul right now, just as the guy wants to re-implement capital punishment and is sacking judges, deans, policeman and military as he pleases.

Let's forget that Erdogan is bombing the only guys that are opposing the Islamic State in the field right this moment.

No, let's instead do what all the cool kids do and blame the West. Cause you know... in the end, it's always the West that must get to be blamed for all evils of the world.
I'm so tired of Turkey's shit. It's thanks to them that the only workable way to reconstruct Iraq (a three-state solution) was impossible because they would throw a tantrum about an independent Kurdistan.
Note that I lead off with "For the most part." The two statements do not contradict each other. The majority of the population can be uninvolved while a small portion of the government gets involved.

While diplomacy isn't done directly by the population, it should be supported by the general population. In general Americans are against communism, the war against ISIS/terrorism and support many government actions across the world. They supported invading Iraq (with the information that was provided to them). They supported invading Afghanistan and fighting the Taliban and Al Qaeda. I doubt that most Americans would support action against Turkey at the current state of Erdogan's government.

The other way to look at it is that Europe dodged a huge bullet by not creating said path to the EU for Turkey. It's not like Erdogan would have turned away from being an authoritarian dictator simply because Turkey was in the EU and things like Brexit would now have been a minor worry compared to an unstable state run by a authoritarian dictator that exemplifies everything the EU abhors. It's more than just the ratio of churches to mosques that makes Turkey ineligible for EU membership and Turkey/Erdogan have been proving that for years now.
Thanks for pointing out the typo, I'll fix it ASAP.

I will agree that I have probably turned down some excellent candidates because their CV wasn't written clearly enough. That's kind of my point.

My CV is not designed to be a 100% complete and accurate representation of my life. It's enough detail to initiate a phone interview.

I've also taken on board what you said about making it clearer what I do best. I'll try rewording the intro a bit.
Uh...

I'll give that the syntax of these shell programs take some work to understand but they're hard to beat for the purpose they serve.

If you're parsing plenty of JSON these days I find 'jq' indispensable. It's basically awk/sed for JSON.

I would just be sure to study those programs as they took quite a bit of effort to make them fast. And there are plenty of alternatives with extended syntax and features.

Best of luck.

I'm not surprised. Remnants of the old postal payment methods have been persistent in many European countries too. I'm from Norway, and despite being born in '75, between CoD and post/bank giro's cheques got killed off early enough that prior to moving to the UK in 2000 I only ever have vague memories from my childhood of my parents paying with checks - it was unusual in the early 80's. In the UK I still need a check book for the occasional (now finally very rare) instance where someone insists of being paid that way (the UK in theory has a giro system; in practice it only sees use for some very limited usage areas)

Because these methods were so widespread and credit card penetration was low (due to strict consumer credit laws, very, very few credit cards were available well into the 80's, and debit cards were often just ATM cards without a card number), they carried over to many online shops too.
Well the Austro-Hungarian leadership sure lost its power, and they were some of the most responsible for the war.
