>Like it doesn't take politics to propose a $1 trillion buyout of least expensive homes in SF,

It takes politics to actually push the idea to anywhere beyond the back of a napkin exercise. Once you even go into the question of who should pay for it, that's politics.
Never underestimate the power of "stick it to the man".

He has an MBA and over 16 years of experience in the wireless industry.

10 people with 4 years experience == 40 years of experience.
Another con is that submodules will be missing in the tarballs that Github autogenerates for tags and releases. I initially used submodules for my own Go binaries, but moved to a custom vendoring solution since then.
You're welcome, hope it works out.

BTW, I think this is also worth highlighting (from [1] above):

"Different metabolic changes, yet with similar consequences, may therefore be observed in both hypothyroid and hyperthyroid patients. In the first case, fatigue is directly related to deficient action of thyroid hormones. In the latter,
however, the cause is mainly depletion of muscle energy substrate due to high metabolic demand."
In my view the secure enclave and one-time use authorization are the killer things about Apple Pay, not the contactless part. The merchant/cashier doesn't see my name and doesn't have my card number.

Since you are Dutch, here's a wonderful act of public service done by your countrymen, getting voting machines to play chess: http://hackaday.com/2006/10/06/voting-machine-chess/

My country, Ireland, briefly flirted with the idea of voting machines areound the same time, and decided to scrap them at enormous expense and go back to paper ballots: http://www.irishtimes.com/news/opposition-condemns-e-voting-...

> The public needed Russia (!) for a fresh dosis of unpopular truths about those machinations. This documents more evidence on machinations.

I'm not convinced the "Russian hackers" angle is correct, it seems like a convenient cover story for the DNC, to draw a distinction between Hillary and Trump with regard to Putin. They know many older voters don't understand this stuff (no offense to older HN readers!) and will likely buy it. It's just like the North Korean hackers story for the Sony hack. It could just as easily have been disgruntled DNC insiders, and Wikileaks is happy to have the real source of the leak disguised.
>The public needed Russia (!) for a fresh dosis of unpopular truths

Do people honestly believe that evidence of electoral fraud is some kind of Russian scheme? Those claims strike me as an attempt to deflect the issue by the increasingly embattled affected candidate. That narrative seems to be designed to imply that the revealed wrongdoing is actually worth ignoring.
I observed a similar productivity drop on Friday afternoons, although in my devops-y team it's mostly due to reluctance to deploy any changes right before the weekend.
The paper is very helpful for the arbitration of a "simple, binary phenomenon". Section 4.1 correctly investigates ternary responses.

However, logic may only be used if a common GND is accepted. If Alice does not believe in absolute truth, there is no way that trust can be established. Analogue systems may not approach 1, only digital logic can provide "TRUE" love.

Moral relativism is commonly professed. However, I theorise that an absolute 0 point can be readily established.

"Is cheating in relationships always wrong?"

If a common GND cannot be established this way, then the crush may be ended without wasting more time running the simulation.
That's really not necessary. I don't know where this comes from, but we maintain a big Java application and never messed with the byte code.

Yeah, it's easier when you're mostly attending lectures and seminars. These are neatly timeboxed. But when university work is mostly assignments, it starts to eat into one's free time and gets tedious very fast.
You raise some very valid points here. While I don't think this is a direction more modern, western democracies are heading, I do fear that as mega cities draw in more people, countries and local governments will become less egalitarian - which is what you see beginning to take shape in the U.S.

Yep, using something like Redux or MobX absolutely does not mean "no React component state ever". There's definitely use cases for all of the above. Dan Abramov has tried to make that point repeatedly, and I made sure to put that viewpoint into the Redux FAQ ( http://redux.js.org/docs/FAQ.html#organizing-state-only-redu... ).
Kouhai is not used behind a person's name. And you can usually refer to a senpai just by calling them "senpai" and whoever you are talking to would understand who are refering to. But "kouhai" is never used like what I described above - it's purely an adjective to describe the position of a junior student.
Alright, this is really funny. Do 10 people each with 4-year experience really add up to "40-year experience"? I don't think so. I think this is just kind of a joke.

What would you think if Google (now Alphabet) said their management team had over 100 years of experience? (not carefully calculated, but you can do the math if you like :))

They should be more honest than using such gimmicks.

Yes, as a passionate music collector and someone that can get lost in weird, obscure and very leftfield music, this is something I notice all the time. You start with something accessible only to find yourself enjoying obscure 70s synth funk recorded on tape in someone's bedroom months/years later. Or similar.

Yep. Apple Pay uses a one time authorization code and not your card numbers, etc... The merchant does not get your card number or name. They can only use that authorization code for one transaction. Even if your PIN is stolen, the thief still cannot access your account.
Since it's now Mac OS again, I want the Appearance Manager back, too!

The great thing about React is that you get to choose something that works for your team in your situation.

The bad thing about React is that you need to choose something that works for your team in your situation.
Try books on "design" topics more generally. Visuals, storytelling and UX are unrelated to music at the surface but they allow you an in to grounding your abstract thoughts and finding a thing that the rest of the work is derived from. It's the thing artists always talk about in interviews where they're like, "it was about this one time in my life where..."

That may seem disconnected from the sounding good part but it's what gives you a core to build on. You can take the thought and express it in a very simple, low-fi, minimalist way, or go all out and build a huge arrangement and smother it in production. That's something that is better to decide upon by design than by trial and error.
It takes a lot of engineering time and effort to be able to switch between mentioned alternatives. E.g. Druid and Drill vs. BigQuery.

PARIKSHA LITE: A Faster Way to Prepare Better for Placements Online
Same here in France, Apple Pay is launching against a user base that is very welcome to using NFC payment by debit card, banks that are trying to launch their own broken mobile payment solution as a paid option, and mobile operators that require special SIMs and apps that you must at best sideload if they're outright not requiring a device bought from the operator store with a custom firmware. Oh and there's Fivory, the startup that's obviously better because it's French (you know, like french cars, French people are overly infatuated with home-made stuff).

Hopefully Android Pay comes soon, so that most mobile phones get a ready to use native solution and all this crap gets swiped under the rug.
Does anybody else find that, even though this might have been a "sensible" decision, particularly for people who have a vested (i.e., financial) interest, that now a lot of the "wow" factor and everything that made Ethereum exciting, has just evaporated? Now it's clear that rather than being idealistic and principled for the greater good, it's simply nothing more than a way for people to make money and for the powers that be to retain the status quo. Business as usual, "the system" will prevail. The magic has gone.
This is off the point. And I'm not questioning the fact either.
Sadly, what's even worse, is as I was reading this, I wondered if it might be an attempt to undermine the Democratic Party.

If their "cloud" offerings were all just hosted instances of open source, there would be no lock-in, but they would have no 'competitive edge'.

North Korea is run by a dictator. That is not a democratic arrangement. Just because a dictator says it's a democracy does not make it so!

Sad.
Evans' analyses are insightful but also a bit hyperbolic. He likes to speak in absolutes about nuanced subjects. I guess analysts can't just say "it depends".
1) Ethereum is a clear scam after this. Your contracts say one thing unless someone posits a vote where a miniscule fraction of the userbase votes one way and from that point on your contract suddenly say something else.

2) Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme. It never was anything else and it will never be anything else. That temporarily you can trade shares in a Ponzi scheme without being badly burned is certainly a novelty but beyond that, it's a typical, very old scam.

Doh, you're right of course! We were having this problem in the Postgres 9.1 era, before index-only scans were a thing.

Still, it's quite inefficient maintaining an extra copy of the data that is never actually used. Though no longer multiple orders of magnitude less efficient.

However, I'd guess that programmers don't often think to add these seemingly useless fields to an index, as it feels inefficient and just wrong. But at least this offers an out in pathetic cases.

Does any other country have a 'primary' system like the US? In Australia there is no pretending to elect candidates for each party. In our recent election we had two choices for PM from the major parties, chosen by the parties themselves.

In the US you spent a year choosing your candidates, but behind closed doors one of those parties spent all their time trying to push one candidate whilst the other party spent all their time trying to stop another.

The Australian system seems a little more honest, even though the roles of PM and President are quite different. We can elect a PM and the party can then choose to throw them out the week after. This happens frequently.

It's not clear how that's going to resolve. But ETC is still only at $2, vs. $12.23 for ETH. [1] Since you can still turn ETC into ETH at 1:1 (right?), that can't last.

Jetty has been around for a while; a response handler is a one liner (well, a Java one liner, which translates to 7 lines ...).

With Spark[0] (not to be confused with Apache Spark ...), you can get a Sinatra-like routing library on top of Jetty (while you still can deploy the webapp in a more heavyweight container if you need to).

I think Spark is in spirit much like Dropwizard, but a bit more lightweight.

My guess would be that it was carried out by a different entity, i.e. some sub-faction of the campaign as opposed to occurring at the party level.
How to properly always do nothing
It's not just Australian banks that will have a problem, it's going to be a service-level problem with non-US banks.
This is true but it's only a problem if you don't have a copy of your repository checked out anywhere. You can always make a copy of the repository later as long as you have at least one checkout.
Yes, of course it's marketing BS, but it's a common expression.
Actually, the article specifically talked about some non-portable services and explained why this wasn't a big deal, so to me leaving out Firebase implies that 1) it is a big deal and 2) they're not interested in making Firebase apps portable. My conclusion is that they're only opening up the services where they're not in the lead and getting people locked into the ones that are. Which is fine and a great business strategy but rather detracts from the "we're all about openness and choice" image they're trying to project.
Awesome! This was the second of only two steps to remain until I can fully turn on HTTPS. Now they just need support for IDNs (which they've also announced) and LetsEncrypt will be functionally complete from my point of view.
I'm using subtrees to vendor C dependencies and it works well. Submodules are problematic as they may disappear or the git repo might be down. If your dependency is read only, subtree is a better option IMO.
Other than being able to clean up unused dependencies, I don't really see any advantage of this over just using git submodule directly.
In the Netherlands a parties candidates are up to the parties themselves, who usually put them up for internal elections. For the bigger parties, these elections are often newsworthy. Some parties experiment by taking suggestions from the outside or even allowing outsiders to vote as well. I don't think the 'primary' system in the US is very special; it is highly newsworthy though.
"Nowhere to go but up" is perfectly logical reasoning, but may be an over simplification; as it implies speculation only.

There may be another factor involved here; perhaps the 'hive mind' (market) is arriving to a realization...

Timelapse on the german Autobahn
I follow the instruction got a flynn cluster running, how can I shutdown ?
I live in Germany and I think this could be simplified:

- Items are scanned

- The cashier tells you the amount

- You mention that you'll pay with your card, usually showing it is enough too

- The cashier activates the chip scanner

- You insert your card to the reader

- Wait a second or two, the screen changes to "Enter PIN"

- You enter your PIN and press the green button

- You wait around 5 seconds and hopefully it says "{success_message}\n\n Please remove your card"

- You remove the card and put it back to your wallet

- Receipt is printed, the cashier discards it if you don't take it. Sometimes they ask if you want to take it.
Thanks. Agree that it would be more interesting if game could detect collision with specific objects, e.g. roads, buildings, etc. Then, you have more flexibility in game logic design/programming.

So far, I spent 2.5 years developing this from scratch (including predecessor of this project - ActionStreetMap) and still believe in this idea :)
It's the same here in the UK.

Contactless cards are on the rise here and are incredibly convenient - moreso than Apple/Android pay, IMO. You don't have to wake a card up to use it and the batteries never run out!

Wow, this is first time I see someone claiming that chip is inferior to magnetic stripe on card.
I don't even remember when I had to use magstripe… But I do remember cashiers swiping cards repeatedly and then putting them into the plasctic bag so they could be read.
Zero problems with chip.

Yeah, I agree that open sourcing Firebase is too much to ask. But there's other things they could be doing: a) document the wire protocol and license the clients for free use with any server, b) make the API definitions public domain and provide a compatibility test suite for alternative implementations, c) lead a standardization effort on real-time JSON databases, etc...
Not sure how you can change ETC int ETH 1:1... Any address that had a nonzero balance (except for the attacker ;) ) at the point of the hardfork has the same balance in both ETC and ETH. Since the private key for that address can sign on both chains. Some exchanges allow you to manage the two balances separately and you can exchange ETC for ETH but not 1:1, at whatever the market rate is.

Agreed, they even admit Postgres is faster for querying because MySQL requires 2 index lookups.

More than a year, even. And a first-term president is distracted for the last year of their term with that politicking.

Regardless of the pros and cons of the US system, it does seem weird that Mr Head Honcho can end up not being politically aligned with the legislature. So much potential for stalemate, as evidenced by the past six years.

I kind of agree. I have no stats for this, but my impression is that neither Android nor iPhone users are really happy with their devices, they just tolerate them. That sounds like a ripe market for a disruptor.
Haha. No worries. Mine is also just an observation I made with the few people I'm mentoring and teaching.

Also, they seem to grasp recursion much better via Haskell than in Python or Java. I believe that's mostly because Haskell makes structural recursion real easy (ie recursion along the structure of your data type, eg like along a tree)---and once they are comfortable with the basic idea from that, other patterns of recursion are easier to understand.

Algebraic datatypes and pattern matching on them are a great benefit for that structural recursion.
