I think what he meant to say was that it was the first mainstream movie to combine breaking the fourth wall with lots of R-Rated jokes and certain other unspecified features that is, the list of features was a unit, not a list of things that Deadpool was first at individually.

At least, that's the charitable interpretation that makes the claim not-laughable-on-its-face.

I'm surprised Portugal didn't score higher. One day in the car I randomly asked myself the same question of "which country is the most rectangular", and Portugal was the first one I thought of. Is it because the Azores were included? Would like to see the rank if they had only the mainland.

You definitely picked two examples that fit your theory. I am not sure that fully proves your point though because counter examples:

b - move cursor back

w - move cursor forward one word

p - paste from buffer

u - undo

etc.

I would not argue vim is intuitive as a whole. However, there are certain parts of vim that are extremely intuitive.
... is not ANY LONGER a fundamentalist religion ...

it's almost like it takes a 1000 years, give or take, for a religion to blow off its steam and become reasonably peaceful.
I wonder what security threat or investigation could be so large as to warrant stifling the communication of large parts of the population. A classic case of a state gone haywire and not serving its people anymore.
It's a good metric, but I do feel there's something slightly different being said in human terms when we say a country is "rectangular." Turkey seems to have sharper, closer to 90 degree angles than other countries that may overlap a rectangle more.

I suspect what's really going on, psychologically, is that Turkey looks much more like a rectangle than it does any other basic shape: I would never described Macedonia as rectangular, despite its considerable overlap, because it's "oval." Kenya's a pentagon before it's anything else, and so on.
AWS would wish that all those downtime reporting services move to their infrastructure. That ways there won't be anyone to report the downtime.
The only upside of Turkey overtly collapsing is that nobody will be able to pretend anymore there are real examples of functioning Muslim democracies.

Pretty sad, given what it used to be.
It won't be easy for Turkey to become a Russian ally. For one, the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflicts have to be resolved once and and for all, Russia has to drop Armenia, or Turkey has to drop Azerbaijan. None of the above is likely at this point. For another, either Turkey has to drop the "moderate Islamist" rebels in Syria or Russia has to drop the Assad government and Iran. Again, neither is likely to happen.

So for the time being they're on their own. Hell, they can't even ally with most Sunni governments in the region because they've pissed all of them off by supporting the Muslim Brotherhood.
I wonder how much of this recent IPv4 address count stagnation OP is talking about, is in fact due to increasing prevalence of carrie-grade NAT as opposed to real IPv4 deployment slowdown.
What on Earth are you talking about. Let's presume you are right and Turkey wasn't being kept out for things like, oh as another pointed out, an occupation of Turkey and Cyprus, how does blocking them from joining the EU make them less moderate? Does the EU have magic dust that effects religious outcomes?
There's a couple of different scoring rules that would be interesting, I think.

Another one might be: What's the ratio between the area of the country and the smallest rectangle which bounds the country. This would "punish" countries with protuberances more than ones with "in-cuts", which "feels right" to me.
which are these? as far as I understood (I lived in Sint Maarten for a couple of years once) the Netherlands Antilles are colonies only, unlike the French islands (Martinique and Guadeloupe mainly, but St Barts and St Martin too) which are overseas departments of France, and also considered part of EU.
Babynests seem to be a Nordic thing, I guess? Personally, I had never heard of them until I read your comment. For what it's worth, the US market seems to be quite unexplored, something you might want to consider. They look really cool, although there might be some safety concerns. I think that US pediatricians are currently unanimously recommending flat empty cribs / bassinets (no side padding or loose blankets) for newborns.
I can't even ask Alexa if AWS is up.
Mostly that there was a conflict (possibly merely political rather than military) that was settled by people who didn't live near the disputed border.
Sure, you (and I) have a preference to live in the UK and speak English and drink proper beer and so on. The good news is that a hypothetical ARM company registered in France wouldn't prevent you from enjoying all that and working for them, since in this reversed situation ARM has offices in the UK and even if it didn't you could work remotely.

When you and your friends work remotely from the UK, you pay income tax and VAT and all the rest. (Corporation tax is both very hard to collect and has just been reduced, yet again, by the outgoing chancellor)

Now I'll grant that for some software/IP-based companies you cannot work from where you choose, but those companies are broken. Also you say you don't like to work remotely, but I think if you worked for a company which was organized around this (as I do) you really would prefer it, as there is hardly any down-side.
It's also good to realize that countries do not lie on a plane, and the edges of the rectangles should be great circle arcs.
Lewis Lapham also edited Harper's, another terrific magazine, for a number of years.

Exactly. Taps further enables that. Malware even more. Just a metadata, recording system could fo plenty and not take much bandwidth to leak.
Assuming you actually want funding, then streamlining the pitch process actually helps both parties. It's the entrepreneur's time too, and when expectations are clear from the beginning, the entrepreneur can decide whether those expectations fit with their current thinking and choose not to waste time fundraising if not.

Whether or not you want to take funding is an entirely separate question, but one answered more easily if you know what they're looking for.
this metric is kind of poor. What about something like the area ratio of the biggest inscribed rectangle to the smallest circumscribed rectangle that has edges parallel to the selected inscribed rectangle.
>They didn't care about the death camps, until after they defeated Germany and then decided to punish them for those.

The allies didn't know about the death camps until 1942. They were already at war with Germany in 1942, and they issued a public condemnation of Hitler's attempt to exterminate the Jewish race at the end of that year.

>Hitler was democratically elected.

He wasn't elected, he was appointed Chancellor then used violence and intimidation to rise to power. Only about 1/3 of the population supported the Nazis in the elections before 1933. Later after the Reichstag fire, the government enacted emergency measures limiting left wing opposition parties and arrested many communist leaders. You can't call anything that happened after that a free and open election.
Pretty much. Thought people would catch the "shrug" as a reference to the novel.
Absolutely this. They've already lost people to Telegram with the repeated blockings. The third question in the Telegram FAQ is 'How is it different from WhatsApp?' [1]. The feud between WhatsApp and Telegram, with the former blocking the latter's links, is well-documented [2]. Both of these apps are available on Android, Windows Phone, and iOS, and since Windows Phone has a higher-than-usual (relative to North America) share in Brazil, this is relevant.

Russia actively refused integration in order to preserve its autonomy. It was not in any sense a result of the US denying them integration.

According to this cost of living calculator from CNN [1] housing in San Francisco is 256% higher than in Austin. Both have good jobs in tech.

The argument I've heard against it is that you might have to live farther from the city center and commute for 30 minutes or more, which is certainly a tradeoff, but perhaps a worthwhile one.

Part of the problem is that a large number of site pull in services, re-targeting, AB-test, and weird Javascript in general. These things are pulled in without questioning or demanding an SLA or putting in an easy way of pulling them back out. Even if you don't use AWS yourself, you can be sure that some third party you rely on is deploying on EC2. Of cause they'll never tell you that.

For most new stuff, we require that it can be loaded with something like Google Tag Manager or UberTag, so we can quickly disable them when they fail.

I'm not sure how you justify calling a "revival" of teleology doomed. It may have been discarded by the early moderns, but it was discarded without a genuine rebuttal ("new" metaphysical theories were simply proposed where teleology was dismissed). However, as Aristotelians and Thomists argue, efficient causality cannot be understood without final causality. Without final causality, it cannot be explained why certain causes produce certain effects and not others. Furthermore, biology is saturated with functional accounts of organisms. Dismissing these functional accounts as merely "useful fictions", as it is often done when the challenge is posed, undermines far more than the dismisser seems to realize, and raises more questions than it answers.

In the case of information as it is discussed in the paper, Feser first discusses the technical sense of "information" which is exactly the one Shannon is concerned with, i.e., the syntactic sense. The semantic content is provided by the observer which is to say it is not inherent in the physical states that are being used to represent bits (which itself is observer dependent). Following this line of thought, Searles argues that computational states are assigned to physical states and are thus as artifactual and conventional as chairs. The computationalist naturalists cannot rebut Searle's charge without invoking notions which are broadly Aristotelian in nature.

It's worth getting a hold of a copy of the paper if you can. In lieu of or in addition to the paper, some of his blog posts delve into related subjects that clarify these points. I also recommend Feser's books on related subjects which are known for their lucid prose and clear explanations. Good places to start are "Aquinas: A Beginner's Guide" and then "Scholastic Metaphysics: A Contemporary Introduction". Aquinas was decidedly Aristotelian and the scholastic philosophers broadly speaking were heavily influenced by Aristotle.

Yes, the judge is asking for a backdoor, but Whatsapp was not blocked just for that reason. They were blocked also because they are playing a game with brazilian justice. Whatsapp Inc. claims is based outside of Brazil, so answer court orders in english and ask for more information about the process (that is confidential).

And Facebook Brasil just claims is another company. But the counter court order that removed the block the other times was filled by Facebook Brasil.

So Facebook Brasil + Whatsapp are obviously on an arrogant position with very unprofessional response to the court orders. If a proper brazilian lawyer was hired to properly react to the court orders I doubt that any of the 3 blocks would ever have happened, moreso because they have strong technical and ethical reasons on their side. At a minimum there would be a long judicial dispute.
Even the judge that overruled the other block stated that Whatsapp didn't act the proper way while dealing with the previous court order.

WhatsApp might have the HN crowd sympathy on this, but they brought these issues to themselves by being unprofessional on their response to brazilian justice.
I meant that I think that putting others ahead of yourself isn't, in and of itself, commendable.

Not necessarily. For example, these borders exist more often in deserts, for instance (see Sahara and Arizona for instance).
I still think we are talking about different things. If you want to know how much battery charge is lost when a cellphone get's a GPS lock that's a very focused requirement. Trying to also make your test code useful in the long term is vast and unnecessary constraint. It's the stage where you want to understand the problem.

"Wait, I need a Mac to write iOS code, ouch."

Ideally you should be producing far more research than code. Your talking logging, and I am talking the "H" part of "Hello, world."

> This piece just seems like investors giving out, what appears on the surface to be helpful advice, but really are just trying to streamline the pitch process, so they can more quickly evaluate deals.

I think it is pretty helpful for people applying to YC to understand what YC partners are looking for. I'm as cynical as they come but I can't really fault the post, it isn't telling you how to make a successful company, it is telling you how to (as you state) essentially streamline your pitch to YC.

But to compliment your point: the startup I worked at, Thumbtack, was terrible at pitching for ~4 years and it significantly impacted our ability to raise money. During this time we were out-raised by many flashier competitors (Exec, Homejoy to name a couple) who I'm sure were much better at pitching. At the end of the day though it is the customers and not the investors that decide if your company is a success. I'd also add "persistence" to your list of qualities which I think make a successful company (I'd actually put it first -- or at least tied for first with being lucky).

To be fair though, Turkey doesn't have any countries around it that it can invade without getting stomped by either Russia or the rest of NATO.

IMO, a coup can be justified if those that carry it out a) will be better governors than those they overthrew and b) they have popular legitimacy. By that standard, a Reichswehr coup in 1933 would have been justified, but the half-assed Turkish coup that has just happened wouldn't.
The API version header has a few problems.

1. Older proxies used to remove/strip headers they don't understand.
2. Frameworks and libraries don't always give access to n non-standard headers, meaning they just can't used.
3. It's harder for humans to look at a request and see what's going on.

Turkey was never "liberal",the majority of Turkish people were always "conservative" Muslims. Istanbul doesn't represent all Turkey .this is a fantasy invented by the people who wanted Turkey in the EU. It's not the EU's fault if Turkey ends up like yet another dictatorship in the middle east. So stop blaming the EU for that. That's a lie.

PunkProgramming – Looking for people who want to start coding
Hey there!
I'm currently working on a 90s style _printed_ programming zine and I'm still looking for 2-3 people who want to learn how to code and who also have an original (as in - no uni homework, no business things, you'd also be ok to open source it) idea for a project they want work on.

My goal is to feature their progress and (hopefully) motivate other people to try coding by doing so... E.g. showing the reality of how frustrating it can be when just starting out and that this is just normal. - But also showing how _super_ rewarding it is, when you finally got something to work!

I have experience in hardware (all kinds of micro controllers and vintage computers) and most web things (frameworks, servers whateverrr) aand I know loads of people across fields, including e.g. biotech and shader people.

So whatever crazy idea you might have, tell me and we can work something out. (As long as it's not _too_ complex... and manageable over a period of 4 weeks)

Note that, if you're interested, you will have to figure out most things by yourself along the way... but my friends and me will lend you a hand with the basics in the beginning and give you hints when you feel you're _completely_ lost and stuck.

Thanks fore reading! :)
