So not one of them said discriminating against people based on their religion and attempting to disqualify public officials based on their ethnicity is disgusting and completely against the values of this country?

Perhaps your next task should be to surround yourself with people who don't think that way.
Sometimes I really wonder what people who post stuff like this on issue comments aim to achieve:

@thelinmichael Guys wake up!!!!!! How can you implement an OAuth 2.0 without the ability to revoke access? I mean HOW DARE YOU?

It would be interesting to set up some sort of similarity comparison between languages; then, if you introduced the date of release for the various languages, you might get a cool tree of which-languages-influenced-what. Very cool project!
I moved to a new city and I wanted to see who I followed that lived there. I had to spend 8 hours learning the API and writing a script to put those people into a list. I shouldn't have to do that.
Yeltsin was definitely a patriot and wanted the best for his country. But his education and experience prior to the 1991 attempted coup meant that there were a lot of stumbles as he struggled to change the direction of Russia. I don't think anyone could have been more successful at it than he was.
Here's mine. His own words:

"Just the other day, two years old, two and a half years old, a child, a beautiful child went to have the vaccine, and came back, and a week later got a tremendous fever, got very, very sick, now is autistic."

An authority figure saying that on national TV probably caused and will result in many infections, many to children who cannot take vaccines due to medical reasons.

I see that he jumps to such quick conclusions on almost every topic instead of delving deeper into it.
CGI implementations will take the value of the Proxy header and clobber whatever might have originally been set in the environment at HTTP_PROXY.
I imagine this comes from the various trial offerings they've had for new customers, including student discounts and family discounts. I myself have gone through ~3 accounts taking advantage of this over the years and I imagine their metrics show a high account churn such that it is not an unreasonable conclusion to view accounts as disposable.

IMO it's certainly better then facebook's undisposable position where you are never deleting your account and every service that uses facebook serves as a mechanism for creating, reactivating, or connecting, with that one account. As a subscription service Spotify should probably make it easier to switch between subscription tiers, but I'm happy enough with the company to at least defend them a little bit :-P.
>the “dial-a-yield” of the B-61 bombs at Incirlik can be adjusted from 0.3 kilotons to as many as a hundred and seventy kilotons.

Wow that's quite a range. I wonder if it's the hydrogen volume adjusted to determine the yield.

>Two day's ago ago a coup d'état was stopped because the contested prime minister of turkey was able to reach medias using built-in VOIP technology of one of the most worldwide sold smartphone. Citizens comprising even some politics opponents rallied in the street to contest the coup d'état so that turkey remain a democracy (even if Erdogan is very very contested as a leader).

Nope. There was never a coup at all, it was all made up to help Erdogan become a dictator. It's all working exactly to plan.

What kind of coup doesn't bother to capture the country's top leaders, and instead captures a bridge? What kind of coup has rebels flying fighter jets, and even when they have the President's plane in their sights, they ignore it? And instead, they use aircraft to shoot at people on the streets? Or at an empty Parliament building? Why would a country that has a long history of highly successful and competent coups now carry out the most utterly incompetent coup in all of human history?

The Turkish citizens aren't supporting democracy; they're exactly like the German citizens of the 1930s, supporting their new dictator. And this "coup" was very much like the Reichstag fire.
I recently evaluated these, and I'm dying to use something like this. I would really love to be able to do this with sandboxed apps written in arbitrary languages like Go, Haskell, Rust, or even C++. Ideally, I wouldn't be managing docker containers or VMs to get certain jobs done.

Unfortunately, it's limited to JavaScript, Python, and Java for now. Google Cloud Functions is similarly limited to JavaScript.

I know that these languages were chosen because they can be easily sandboxed, but it would be nice to support something more generic without having to create docker containers for everything.
I'm talking about illegal immigrants.

Yes legal immigrants - the good ones that we vet and choose, i.e. the best of the best from the countries of which they come - don't commit much crime.

That's how it should be. And that's the type of immigration system we should aim to maintain.

How the media manages to conflate legal with illegal immigrants has been so incredibly frustrating this election cycle.
In India, the north primarily speaks Hindi, with dialects of Hindi being spoken by state (Punjabi, Bhojpuri etc). South India's language (and where ISRO is primarily situated) speaks a variety of languages including Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam etc. So English becomes the neutral language when communication is required between the two halves.

On the a16z note, do you mean the Marc Andreessen's colonial comments? I don't remember any squabble with a16z and Indians as a whole.
my point is that the renters do not fully cover the cost of maintenance for landlords, only partially. Landlords cannot raise rent by the amount equal to the maintenance they have to perform, the rent hikes in a market are a function of supply/demand of renters. Otherwise, rents would rise in places with old houses, independent of peoples desire to live in those places and that obviously doesn't happen
In Norway, the means of production of petroleum is state-owned (majority at least), well managed, and will provide for the social safety of Norwegians for many, many, many years.

So there _are_ countries with genuine socialist policies that--while contentious and somewhat controversial--are nothing like the Venezuelan catastrophe.
Thanks! I always found NR Servers to be lacking, and frankly, I wanted a more service-oriented monitoring system that tells me how certain services are performing over time. I.e. our API performance, jobs..

I never argued that Sweden was more economically free than the US (although frankly they may be at this point, US federal regulations have increased drastically in the last 40 years, the regulatory burden is far larger than it used to be). I said that Sweden was in a two decade long economic slump, and only climbed out of it courtesy of de-regulation and de-taxation of their economy. I'd be happy to link to several articles covering this historical fact; the Swedish architects of that event have talked openly about how and why they did it.

Can you name the ways in which Sweden is a Socialist nation? I'm aware of very few things that can even be argued to define them as such. Quite the opposite, their overwhelming characteristics economically are that they heavily rely on the market economy determined by individual business owners and investors rather than a command economy dictated by the State.

- Do they allow private ownership of property, including the means of production? Yes, Sweden's economy is almost entirely driven by private businesses.

- Does nearly all of their economy function around private business ownership? Yes.

- Do they allow the existence of so called capital classes? People whose wealth is primarily existent in capital, investment, real estate, etc.? Yes.

- Do they force the redistribution of wealth, so as to attempt to prevent the existence of rich and poor classes? No.

- Do they allow the private ownership of real estate, farm land, etc? Yes.

- May the government arbitrarily nationalize your wealth, investments, or business? No, that would be a rare event in Sweden.

- Do they primarily function via the free market economy of non-coerced trade? Or is all trade primarily dictated by the State? Right, almost entirely free trade.

- Does the State determine all investment priorities for all businesses? No, quite the opposite, businesses are free to set their own priorities, build new products at will, choose how they allocate capital.

- Does the State dictate most allocations of capital? No, the opposite.

Things like healthcare, slightly heavy economic regulation, education - are the primarily arguments I'm aware of regarding Sweden, however those define them as a welfare state, not a Socialist state. The US for example has vast free healthcare, housing, and food systems, along with a massive entitlement system, which is why the US is also a welfare state (and not primarily a Capitalist nation as it was a hundred years ago).
a) that wouldn't affect a build, assuming they cache their packages, which they probably would since that event

b) didn't they change their unpublishing policy after that event?
There is the saying "why own the farm If you can own the farmer?", which has been attributed to various totalitarians (and whose true origin I am unaware of), that highlights the fact that owning the actual means of production is unnecessary if you control the owner. This can be through regulation, corruption, or other means.

I don't see socialism as a 'treacherous' word, but 'socialism' is more a spectrum than a boolean variable. For instance, I am sure you are more socialist than I am, but that does not make you the same as Castro or Mao.
I don't understand why people instantly go to the uninstall step when we are talking about the Chinese acquiring information, but the USG is fine. At least you most likely don't live in the country obtaining potentially incriminating information (if that is your worry).

That's an odd turn... care to elaborate on the connection between government caused economic crises in South America and identity politics among (what I assume are) North American urbanites?
Nobody got 2-3 generations in their position, I think they could only aim for a half generation of high-ish birthrate.
That's what USA got, and it was arguably less urbanized to begin with.

They'll still have massive debt and huge costs of security and investments in freshly acquired "lebensraum". Honestly I think they'll crumble anyway.

Ok so the lesson here is be really careful where you allow API access using your keys.
I typically don't have this instinctive bias against Chinese companies (they manufacture lots of great products), but I've actually heard of the leading buyer, Qihoo 360. I remember they used to release some "security software" for Windows that disabled the builtin Windows update and replaced it with their own mechanism. They also used to have their own "secure browser" that was nothing more than a shell over Trident and Webkit. I'm not sure I can find references for those claims as this was a very long time ago. But I just navigated to their official website (they seem to have two, http://www.360.com and http://www.360.cn ) and guess what. The year is 2016 and a security company's official website doesn't support HTTPS. It doesn't work on my computer and hopefully this isn't due to China's firewall.
I imagine serverless is a powerful buzzword because it implies cost savings on servers.
The phrase that Amazon used when launching lambda was 'deploy code not servers'. To me this sums up what 'serverless' means. It means the developer doesn't have to worry about servers in any way.

With AWS Lambda/API Gateway (and arguably with Google App Engine before it) you take away the toil of having to:

* Manage/deploy servers
* Monitor/maintain/upgrade servers
* Figuring out tools to deploy your app to your server
* Scaling an app globally.
* Coping with outages in a data-centre/availability
* Worry about load-balancing & scaling infrastructure

So obviously there are still servers there, but they are largely invisible to the developer.

I think this is more than just a marketing gimmick. It is part of a big change in application architectures.

At one end as a small developer of of web/mobile app this can considerably reduce the amount of code/maintenance you need.

At the opposite end of the spectrum the likes of Google (Borg) and Facebook (Tupperware) have developed their own in-house solutions where by servers are largely abstracted out as an entity that developers need to worry about.

Managed docker services (e.g. Google Container Platform, Docker Cloud) are another approach of achieving a largely 'serverless' goal.

Cannabis and programming only seem to mix for me when I'm using lightly ( less than a few times a week )

When I moved to Colorado my intake skyrocketed. Was up to around 7 grams a week (16-25%thc) with 90% concentrates mixed in for fun. I was able to work with 0 problems for a few months but started noticing subtle fogginess over the course of my days and like you, holding state was difficult ( along with general debugging slowness )

Naturally I figured it would be wise to slow down consumption and went on a tolerance break. Within a few days I was back to 100% and now only smoke a few times a week. Currently I notice no negative day to day issues and all mental fogginess is gone! I like to sit down after work, toke, and then code.. so happy to report my anecdotal data as positive!

This goes for other drugs too, even "normal" ones like caffeine.
I had a nasty habit of drinking a ridiculous amount of coffee and noticed very similar issues as above with cannabis. And like above, cutting the caffeine down was the fix for me.

Take a break for a few weeks ( or at least cut back significantly ) and see how you feel. Smoking that much weekly is only necessary with an extreme tolerance anyway.

Good luck and hope you feel better!
I find hard to think of a single positive thing of contexts in Perl. For me, this is one of the worst aspects of the language (along with references) because is really confusing and it doesn't provide any benefit at all, i.e. there is nothing that you can do with contexts that you can't do in a better way without them.
> What were these higher rates you refer to?

I don't have exact numbers, and no one does that I've seen. Due to social disapproval people tended to keep such activities somewhat hidden.

That said, genetic analysis of African-American populations shows a significantly higher percentage of European-origin genes than can be accounted for by marriage rates, yes?

> Were they as high as would be expected if humans 'enthusiastically' interbred

What rates would you expect? To make this more specific and avoid questions of lack opportunity vs lack of enthusiasm, what rate of slaveowners having children with at least one of their slaves would you expect under the "enthusiastic" hypothesis?

(There's the complicating factor that in that situation at least one of the parties here might or might not have taken measures to avoid pregnancy even if sexual intercourse did occur; it's not clear to me how to account for that.)

In turkey we have a supreme military council every year, on august, called YAS, where promotions and dismissals. It is rumoured that these lot did this madness to not be dismissed, because that was planned. This is the most believable story to me.

A bigger, more weird stupidity is that, the parliament was on vacation, that is there were no parliamenters in the national assembly building when the coup started, they actually went there during the coup to defend the parliament. And since the beginning, in none of the coups, there were an assault of the parliament building.

But we must bear in mind that social media was crucial. People knew that sth. was going on very early, whereas in the past, they'd do the thing and then we'd know.

> The Turkish Air Force established air superiority over Istanbul but never shot down the president's plane.

He came istanbul after the airport was rather safe though.

> Most military units blatantly weren't involved. In the coup or even scrambled to defend against it.

It was the work of a junta within the army. In fact most other generals quickly ordered soldiers to retract. They didn't shoot the planes and the choppers down, but how could they? Those were flying over very populous cities, I guess in case they did attempt to take them down, there would be at least thousands of dead, because the jets were coming from a base only 30km away from the city of Ankara.

At the end of the day, 2 days into the aftermath, everything is too hazy to properly reason, I think.
Chavez was immensely popular. A coup by the army was overturned by mass protests.

His government was very successful by most economic metrics during his time in his office. It is his successor that has dropped the ball with his bungling of the currency mess. And that's the root cause of all this suffering, a bad currency system, and low oil prices.

You call them populist programs with little ROI, but they were investments and initiatives that were improving the lives of giant swathes of the nation's citizens.

If the price of oil was still $100 per barrel the country wouldn't be in this situation, and we wouldn't have all this gnashing of teeth over the inevitable downfall of socialism.

From my position, capitalist economies shouldn't be so arrogant right now. Instead of blaming the economic system of the country, take it as a warning for what happens when natural resource assets stop producing bounty, or currency exchange moves against being in your favor.

American Capitalism would not be immune from an ecological recession caused by plausible threats like warming and ocean acidification and biodiversity loss, and America might not always have the subsidy of the petrodollar. The dollar's status as reserve currency is equal to a finger on the scale in all American's economic favor.

Venezuela's present could be our future.
I usually tell them this: "the only code you can be 100% certain has no bugs is no code".
Hobbes wrote about contracts and tried to shoehorn the concept into the realm of political legitimacy. The framing of political legitimacy in the context of contracts is clearly misleading and is about as useful in modern political dialogue as phrenology is to neuroscience. Regardless of the differences between Locke and Hobbes, the terminology only serves to obfuscate the forces at play.
That's similar to how it was in 90's Yugoslavia during international sanctions.

We didn't have so much crime (definitely no violent stuff like kidnaping), and cellphone was still big grey brick Fox Mulder would pull out of his jacket ... So sharing knowledge you've found bread or milk was spreading slower.

For those asking how come farmers aren't making huge money in such cases - they still need to buy other stuff and that's equally/proportionally expensive.

In case of Yugoslavia, I think pretty much all petrol/gas was smuggled in (because international sanctions) from nearby countries.

Once you consider that mass producing food means you need to power machines (like tractor) and ultimately transport it somehow to consumers ... Imagine how many jerry cans had to be smuggled ...

And IMHO you're mixing cause and effect when you mention state-controlled economies as a cause of this. It mostly fails because (for one reason or another) country is effectively blocked from trading with the rest of the world, and doesn't have enough variety in materials/resources to be on it's own.

Interesting. I noticed that ISRO is actually in the south; it'd appear that neither the north nor the south have any linguistic identity. (To wit, the French speak English to get on with fellow Europeans but everything important out of France is usually in French. Ditto in Japan.)

I've noticed this in Kenya (and Africa in general) as well. People say they're against European imperialism, but really they're not, considering how the state holds what was injected in higher esteem than whatever is native. It seems that most of the indignance pointed to at @pmarca is about (white) guilt shaming.
