I'm not sure I follow. I'm granting the possibility that the outcome of her leak was ultimately negative, but that's not related to her intentions, nor to whether or not her intentions are morally or practically relevant.

Edit, I guess I'm thinking of the opposing question: Is there information that someone in Manning's position could get which, if it exists, any system which created it or kept it secret should not be allowed to exist, let alone have the authority of law?

Intentions matter, then. But maybe we're talking past each other?
Yesterday, after many years, my curiosity finally got better of me - I started playing World of Warcraft. Since my head is now full of thoughts about MMO, excuse me for saying this:

There should be a new class - or race - added to fantasy worlds. The Marketers. More evil than demons, undeader than the Lich King. Their gameplay mechanics would be based around earning gold by draining their own souls, as well as the souls of characters around them. Their primary combat role would be casting annoying debuff spells at everyone around, friend and foe alike.

Seriously though, this article basically says that someone out there has reached another level in insidiousness. If it was an MMO, we could at least form a raiding party and get rid of the problem once and for all.
In that specific case, they plan to close the only road that allows to cross the centre of Paris smoothly (no red light, can be driven in 4th/5th gear all the way).
Even if the number of cars decreases a lot, since the only alternative path is streets that are full of traffic lights and already quite jammed, the remaining cars will pollute much more.
I'm not sure that this will help decrease pollution in the mid-term.
Show HN: I added AI players to my small multiplayer game
This is actually the crucial point for me. The care and effort put into training the ANN likely far exceeds the care and effort put into training the pathologist. Pathologists learn their craft like most doctors do - a mixture of consulting text books and supervision by seniors, but mostly just by working it out themselves. Pathologists also tend to optimise for dealing with rare and unusual cases rather than small incremental gains in their performance on routune diagnoses, because of how they are assessed in exams (ie more breadth than depth of knowledge). This gives them good 'general AI' for whatever case walks in the door, rather than a highly constrained test set of one type of case.
There's a pretty big difference between "no background tasks will be run except Google services" and "the options for background tasks are more restricted than in previous Android releases".

The second is indisputably true of Nougat, no one is arguing against it; the first is what you said upthread, what I was arguing against, and what is and remains false.

There are some stories where reality surpass fiction. In addition to this, I found the story of Frédéric Bourdin to be hard to beleive yet real. The 2012 documentary The Imposter tells the story in an astounding way: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1966604/
How to Easily Improve Your Business Sales Through Instagram Stories and Snapchat
What a coincidence. Not only is the gesture supportive, it frames the speaker in a positive light! Just like how startups offer perks like catered lunches because the company cares about work/life balance, right? "How convenient, it just so happens that offering cheap-perks allows us to attract top-talent at half the cost". Notice how the CEO never has to consciously register that s/he's fooling anyone. From inside the mind, it all just looks like a convenient coincidence. Narratives are convenient because they can improve public relations without changing behavior.

Plausible Deniability is why these gestures are socially acceptable. "I'm sorry to hear that" or "that sucks" (i.e. acknowledgment) would suffice. But that's not what Pieter Hintjens' associates told him, is it? Instead, they went the extra mile by offering unwarranted advice. Notice that "I'm sorry to hear that" doesn't connote that the speaker holds relevant information, and is therefore important and worth paying attention to. Regardless of how we define gesture, it is not lost on Hintjens that the stock phrases he receives nudge the conversation in a particular direction.
By degrade in an img tag you mean if the server does sniffing or content negotiation to send gif instead of webp?

> It's probably also an easier sell to the more problematic browsers

The only browser I can think of that does not support webm already but might conceivably add support for webp is Safari. Chrome, Firefox and Edge all support webm, and I don't see IE or Opera Mini adding webp support, since neither one is really in active development.

Maybe you're right that Safari is more likely to support webp than webm. It's hard to say.
I've been developing public and internal APIs with node.js full-time for the past 3 years. I can see where you are coming from, but nothing you've said explains why the platform itself is not useful. Most of what you complained about is the caliber of developer and the ecosystem. That reminds me a lot of the complaints about PHP.

The truth is that there are good developers using node.js, there is good code in the ecosystem, and someone that's worked with for a while has learned lessons.

I agree with your performance complaints. On my last project we had to spend considerable time reworking components of our application due to those components blocking the event loop with CPU intensive tasks.

I would say that node.js is probably selected more than anything else for speed of getting a project up and running. It's easy to find JavaScript devs. JavaScript doesn't require a compilation step so iterating and debugging small changes is much faster. There's a ton of pre-build frameworks for serving up APIs even with very little code for CRUD apps.

It's not that there's something you can do with node.js you can't do with other languages. There's just less of a barrier to entry.
tsk.

The overhead in getting another job is high modulo personal circumstance.

Why not use the helpful comment and try to be non-judgemental?
It was fiber taps between Google Datacenters overseas. The implication being that if your location history, emails, photos, secret diary, or what have you is transferred overseas at any point then you automatically have no more rights to privacy than a suspected terrorist.
Except when you try to ensure someone gets notifications while the phone is in an intranet.

Or when you try to transmit notifications without going through Google/Apple servers, because those require you to control the messaging server (due to API auth limitations), which does not work with distributed systems.

A messaging app that only works when the screen is on is useless.
That's sweet of you. Also, Node.js people will need Node.js 6.4.0+ for Windows support (until patches land in LTS).

The real problem here is not the chain of marketing tech that allowed this, the issue is that the marketing message itself sucked. If the message was valuable, many people wouldn't have been bothered by receiving it.

As for the message itself, if their intent is to sell you that specific item you searched for, they should say so. Of course, they need to avoid the creepy-factor, which, along with laziness are the two reasons they may have ended up with the junky message you received.
In my experience, for Verizon around the DC area, yes.
When I started getting these, I called out the companies that did it. Kisi (getkisi.com) spammed me a few times and I called them out on it on Twitter with this tweet: "Hey @KISI - Spamming harvested emails is going to get your startup the wrong kind of attention." Their response was to block me. And continue to spam me. I can't imagine doing business with a company like that.

Have you looked at CSound? http://csound.github.io/documentation.html I'm really into the idea of having a standard for music scoring, and not just for music scoring, but also for like... identifying the instrument.

While playing with Node as someone new to JS at the time, I wrote some code to load a JSON file due to not knowing I could require it... and it was vastly less than 1000+ lines.

On a similar basis, I once worked on a codebase where someone had implemented strftime, poorly, a few different ways, and also come up with several replacements for strptime, all of which had subtle bugs and none of which worked the same.
This is really for my fellow single male programmers.

I think programmers tend to identify with being socially awkward as we spend our time focusing on analytical problems usually by ourselves or with similar individuals which emphasizes our brain's wiring to be that way even more so over time, then the less traveled wiring weakens over time (social wiring, your developer buddies don't count).

The crux is we are all social creatures and need to feel accepted by the opposite sex. If we fall short, we will spin ad infinitum worrying about it. Its a deep rooted need within us and cannot be rationalized away, similar to rationalizing you are full when you haven't eaten for a long time. You must take action. Blame Darwin if you must but do something about it.

Because a lot of programmers like me are social pansies when it comes to taking risks, you can try this approach first. Do real weights and wind sprints and eat right to promote testosterone as looking like a dude attracts women. Running long distances way too often will make you a look like a unic twig, lower your testosterone levels, and rob you of muscle. I can't stress enough how the right eating habits and exercise will change everything, most likely within 90 days you'll see a huge difference like night and day, looking lean and mean. Your personality will also have changed, being more confident and bold with the added bonus of girls looking your way. You will become more attractive to females in other words, prepping you for the next step.

Now you are ready to take the issue head on and expose yourself to as many social situations as possible, forcing your social wiring to strengthen, but with the caveat of not giving a shit of individual outcomes, thinking of it more like the sheer act of doing this long enough will cause things to move in the right direction. To truly not give a shit is freeing and what's odd about that is people (especially women) seem to like you much more when you are worry free and have a natural comfort about yourself. Women truly are like buses where the next one will come along simply because there are so many fucking people in the world. Break some eggs and get out there.
Yeah, I've got Donut on it now.

Unfortunately its https library uses some obsolete crypto technique --- TLS 2? --- and as a result it can't connect to anything on the internet, not even to fetch updates from the App Market (not the Play Store!). I can't even log in to Google.

I did have Gingerbread on it at one point but it was very unhappy.

I found a partial Debian port but there's still not really enough RAM for that. I wonder if there's a NetBSD port...
I am using market inefficiency in the microeconomics term. The auctioning of the scarce resource be it land or spectrum results in a politically induced scarcity (the power of scarcity) resulting in higher prices than in a competitive market. This politically induced scarcity, or "economic rent" means people are paying more money for the resource than they otherwise would. Money that would go towards other goods and services are spent on cell data instead. Others that at the lower rate without the auction who would marginally be able to afford the use of the cell phones and data would are no longer able to do so. This increases inequality.
(defn a_func [x] (print x))

(defmacro a_macro [y] `(a_func ~y))

At this point, let won't allow you to rebind a_func (it changes the lexical scope, and the syntax-quote is going to refer specifically to ns/a_func). binding will also not allow it in modern versions of clojure, unless you declare the a_func var as ^:dynamic (e.g. ``` (defn ^:dynamic a_func [x] (print x)) ``` (as an aside, the compiler will also warn you for making something dynamic that doesn't have earmuffs, which is clojure convention)).

(ns user (:use clojure.test))
(def a 5)

Yes. But since too many sites still are only reachable via IPv4, you either get also an IPv4 address (dual stack) or you get connectivity via NAT64/DNS64. The latter case means your phone cannot be reached from the outside via IPv4 (this is rarely needed on a phone, except when tethering a laptop, maybe).
Speaking of AoE II, a couple of months back I bought the "HD remake" of it on Steam.

I was a bit disappointed in the remake with regards to how they handled the sizing of the UI.

Every part of the UI is very small on my high resolution (2560 x 1440) display.

Not what I expected when they market it as a HD remake.

I searched the internet to see if anyone else was disappointed and found that indeed I was not alone.

Here is one example of what others are saying: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1bslgq/why_is_the_us...

Still, AoE II was a good game and I have fond memories of it from my childhood.
Another alternative would be to keep releasing security updates. If open source projects can manage more than three years support, it's not out of the question for Google to do it, at least for the major versions.
Here's a few:

- Companies won't be loyal to you when times get tough for them. At the hint of blood in the water, start looking for work, quick. It's much harder to get the next job when you're already unemployed.

- Don't let 'we can't afford to give you raise/promotion' be the reason you don't get one for years. If you prove yourself and they tell you no, start looking for a company that can afford to appreciate you. Or else you can get stuck at the same level for a long time.

- The video game industry is fun, but has terrible issues with work/life balance issues and letting you do your own thing in your spare time. Focus on getting your own games out there, and how to charge money for them, while you're still young and energetic with tons of free time, instead of trying to break into the game industry.

- The dentists can tell you you have no cavities for years while your enamel is slowly eroding, and then once it erodes just enough to get a hole, everything becomes expensive, temporary, and unpleasant. Drink unsweetened tea instead of soda and coffee, brush more, and get things taken care of sooner rather than later.

- Your 'starvation' strategy of losing weight stops working when you're stressed out for months on end and your willpower drops. Low carb actually works for you despite what you might read, use that to keep your weight down before it gets too high.

- It is bronchitis, not just a bad cough. Find a doctor who isn't an idiot and will prescribe you something to take care of it before you lose your scholarship.

- Women aren't as smart and perfect as you think they are, and they will talk to you and even date you if you treat them like normal people. Start going to more low-key social events to get yourself used to talking to them. Also, don't get stuck on any one girl and ignore others.

Cool, thanks for asking and glad to learn we're on the right path.
I am so happy you dug up this article! I read it around the time it was published, it is such a great story. Thank you!
You're sort of cheating in that example as a big chunk of that growth is from the acquiston offer and not organic.

But still, good move and your point stands. I took a position in ARM (my former employer) again half a year ago, too bad it was tiny!
Thanks for your help and for responding here, but I hope you guys at Google know that this seems like a major organization-level problem. There's a big perception that Google has no real customer support for anything, even if there's pretty serious amounts of money involved, fueled by a regular drumbeat of blog posts about people who had their entire livelihood shut down for unexplained reasons with no possible recourse. It's kind of like the "five whys" failure analysis. Yes, this particular automated workflow was broken, but that's not the real problem. The real problem is the lack of human support that can turn issues like this from a crisis to a minor hiccup.

It seems like you guys really need to get some call centers filled with people with some level of diagnostic ability and problem-solving authority. Yes, this is expensive and difficult to get built, but if you really want to Reduce Customer Anxiety, nothing can do that like the knowledge that there's a real person available 24/7 who can fix any problems on Google's side. Make it pay per incident or by subscription if needed to keep the jokers out, but anything is a whole lot better than nothing.

I think you miss read there, I said that the trend is that Swedish fathers take more time with child care now than in the past. As in, 50 years ago, fathers spent less time on child care than fathers today do.

In 1990, mothers spent about 10 times more than fathers. 20 years later, than number is less than half of that. Has the drastic effect of doubling the number of days that fathers spend on child care and cutting the days mothers spend by almost a third had any measurable effect on wages for women in general? That linked article below estimate that Sweden will have 50/50 childcare by 2040, so can we predict with data supported evidence that income differences between genders will be reduced to 0 by the same year? I doubt that, and I have not seen any numbers that points towards it.

No, homeopatic anecdotes are not science. Science has studied homeopathy and found it to be complete and utter nonsense. That's the end of the story, it's superstition and does not work. You either understand that, or remain willfully ignorant. There are no other options.

Homeopathy doesn't work, that's a fact, what part about that known fact seems to confuse you? Why are you insisting something that is KNOWN to not work, works? What don't you get?

Yeah, I also tried Cyanogenmod Eclair and Froyo on it, but it was an excelent way to waste a lot of time watching things happen in slow motion. So I flashed it back to Donut and few weeks later got another phone, that ran Froyo properly.

I didn't know that the App Market doesn't work anymore - about 18 months back, my brother was still using it (as a backup phone, obviously).
I'll just assume English isn't your first language because nothing you just said makes a lick of sense.
Excuse my meta-comment, but I notice that HN seems to have an obsession with proving that active trading is bad and that we should all buy low-cost indexes. And before anyone jumps on me, I 100% agree with that investment strategy and use it myself. I'd just like to comment on the intersection of that belief and tech enthusiasts.

It seems to generally come from a place of binary/analytical thinking which we're all so good at. Studies show that active investing is a losing battle for the average investor, so we assert that as fact and invest our money that way.

But I think deep down in myself (and probably others) it comes from a place of wanting to justify risk aversion. It seems that many people that we all know do become quite rich as investors, and the secret to their good fortune is not apparent. Studies promising us "they'll all lose in the long run!" makes us feel good about our decision not to participate in the game.

It's similar to the derision of startup equity, etc. I know many people who have become very rich at a very young age by latching on to the right startup, but I like my comfortable BigCorp job. The HN comments are a place where I can feel smart about my decision to not take risks even as we celebrate those who took risks and won.

Anyway I don't know why I chose to write this comment or explore this topic at this moment, I hope someone else reads it and understands my sentiment.
Opt outs require giving out emails though. If you think they are scummy enough, that might be a bad proposition.

That said, someone in the comments stated how these companies actively avoid those who might click 'report spam', so this might work.
