There you have it, de facto testimony (by her own admission) that she was incompetent to do her job and one should wonder if she should be granted a more complicated position as President.

Conflicting ideas and opinions can make some people uncomfortable.

But this seems less like an attempt to avoid exposure to DC than an attempt to prevent others from being exposed.
I'm not sure that the discussion is even something that can be approached in a way that is even remotely unbiased. Yes, a lot of farming and slaughter is inhumane. No, they aren't people. Yes, predatory animals aren't any more humane than any method of slaughter.

In the end, we like meat... meat, and high-calorie plants are our main sources of calories. We need relatively lots of them. And many of the calorie rich plant sources have negative effects in a lot of ways. There's also the problem of subsidized bunk science. We've had 5+ decades of really bad nutritional science made policy in this country, and across the world. In the end, it looks like, for the most part if people eat a variety of things and get enough protein in their diet, without going too high in caloric intake, we're fine.

And the only reason I say variety is there are a number of micro nutrients, as well as acid and protein chains that are hard or impossible for the body to synthesize from other resources. There's also the increased rates of diabetes (more closely related to higher intake of fructose and starchy foods)... Or the amount of additives in everything... Farming variety out for maximum yields over quality/taste.

The whole thing is a really sad mess... You can't feed the world with the Whole Foods mindset (and profit margins).

I'd much rather see a limit on the markup for bottled water, and a pretty high tax on all flavored drinks. That alone would probably give more benefit to society.

Also, back to the topic, it's pretty hard to compete with the output from meal worm farming, and simpler plant sources... Lab grown meat is mostly a pipe dream, and an interesting experiment but something that is unlikely to ever be cost effective vs simpler animal sources of meat.
Traitor is obviously a loaded term, but Snowden surely broke the law and then fled the consequences. Maybe you think it's a bad law and he had good reasons, but it's not unreasonable for people to believe he should be in jail.
Bandwidth is cheap but attacks are cheap too.
The whole bit about Kas saying "mmm" to Crockford's face when he said an insensitive thing and then publicly shaming him once he was safely back on the internet galls me, if true.

Culturally, our tendency to troll needs to decrease on the web and increase in in-person encounters. I'm convinced we'd all be better off if we showed some spine and got more vocal whenever we disagree.

I also don't like these (I assume) inter-generational squabbles in our industry. It is clear that moral views can differ between generations, so a little understanding and empathy is needed on all sides.

Please respect your elders. If you disagree with them or feel they are being disrespectful or sexist, how about kindly discussing it with them and maybe getting a feel for their perspective first before launching into public reputation annihilation?
Turkey the modern political entity has control over these lands. Whatever political entity controlled them long ago is no longer relevant unless you want to get painstakingly academic.

The same goes for America where there are historical sites dating back thousands of years. America is the steward now, and it's part of the collective history of the country.
I never understood why flac isn't more widely supported.
Whatever was said to the conference organizers was apparently persuasive enough for them. I'm not in a position to judge.
that's probably true. I see 4 in the FAA registry. I don't see any MiG 25s but I see 5 MiG 29s in the FAA's US registry.

Even the MiG 29 would get you marginally better Mach numbers (2.2 vs 2.0) and better payload. Plus they were produced in similar numbers as the F104.
I've noted the AWS security bulletins[0] list nearly every Xen advisory with "AWS customers' data and instances are not affected by these issues, and there is no customer action required."

It would appear? you'd need to go back for quite a few months of being unpatched to find a genuine issue. Unless something about Amazon's mitigations don't apply universally.

It depends on your options and the impact of the dam. Historically speaking people were pretty hyped about them, but lately evidence shows they're far from environmentally friendly.
> Why can't the FDA have its own list, as well as a list made by the AMA, major HMOs etc. Why not also consider the list used in the UK, etc.

That is a pretty good idea. It makes sense.

One instance where this happens is in Common Criteria Certification (the EAL levels). There is a mutual agreement between countries. And for example RedHat is going to Germany to get the EAL-4 certification for RHEL. Doing it in the US was too time consuming and expensive.

I agree, and AWS Lambda doesn't work like that. Hence at least one sub-definition justifying the "serverless" tag.

I disagree with his position on that issue (var at the top) but somehow I'm not hurt by him calling "my" position stupid. People are allowed to have strong opinions on things, especially if they have spent a great deal of time studying them. And I do want to hear his opinion spoken loud and clear because the conviction is a signal that I should not ignore the opinion lightly.
What a stupid idea (2013)
Doubtless this article will be flagged and removed. But I'll put in my 2 cents before then.

Only 3 of the 30,000+ emails had these markings. The C marking in the body on its own is not a proper or common method of classification. Comey said that missing this was entirely reasonable in his explanation. This is a non story.
Any indication Bush was involved in that, and not just Armitage?
I have experience with suicidal women (no, I do not attract a certain type): it is definitely attention-seeking behavior. Not in the way like dressing provocatively in the wrong contexts can be attention seeking (think clubbing outfits to go grocery shopping) but attention seeking nonetheless.

Yes, it's a data point of a handful, but I am thoroughly convinced that women are generally way too self protective to actually commit suicide. Now if a woman does actually do it.... She was seriously gone.

I've never known a suicidal man, does not mean they don't exist, just that they don't talk about it.
Universities are also debating this through safe spaces.

However, these events lead me to question if silencing the "bullies" is the only strategy in activist playbook? How is it different from a minority voice not being heard? If there is no common platform to interact with those "bullies", how else would you prove their belief's fallacious.
You certainly can do it differently but I really doubt you can do it better. :) A common wisdom learned from the "calling convention wars" (there are many more than just cdecl, stdcall and fastcall) were that it just doesn't matter all that much. The same amount of work has to be done and the only thing that changes is if the caller or callee is the one doing it.

For example, if your convention mandates that the callee must preserve RAX-RDX, then it must push/pop those registers if it wants to use them. Which leads to redundant push/pops if the registers aren't in use by the caller. But if it is free to clobber them, then the caller must push/pop them even if the callee doesn't use them, leading to the exact same number of redundant push/pops!
The engines of the MiG-25 had a service life of a few hundred hours and no parts have been made in many years. That was one reason that the Indian Air Force had to retire theirs without a replacement.

In contrast J79 engines and parts are available on ebay and knowledge of how to maintain them us fairly common, just check Youtube!
It's not nonsense at all. You not understanding something is not evidence that it makes no sense.

My brother is my nephew's primary caregiver. It just worked out better that way; it was easier for him to take time off of work because his wife was the one with the good health insurance and working in the more stable industry. Over the years he's had many stories of being literally the odd man out. It's not a big deal to him, but it's the case. Just another one of patriarchy's leftovers.

That said, I think the article is fine as it is. A lot of emotional impact in writing comes from specificity, from authenticity in detail. She is telling her story, and telling it so that we feel it too.
Oh, I'm not whining, I'm just stating things as I see them.

WRT one of the later comments on "callback hell" .. Although it isn't free, async functions (await) combined with Promises leads to some relatively level code, and pretty easy to reason about and understand... even if getting Babel into your team's build chain is like pulling teeth.

I've been a pretty big fan of JS for a very long time, and I'm glad to see it see the growth and maturity that it has in the past 7 years. The tooling although still somewhat fragmented is better than ever. I do think it'll be a few more years before things start to come together around fewer more successful options, not to mention working better with other web platforms.

Today, it's difficult to compose a web project without Node/npm for at least the tooling. And I really wouldn't want to. What came before was a barely functioning mess.... What we have now is a well functioning mess, with a lot of options. It'll come together, and I'm looking forward to it.

I'm still hoping to find a reason/opportunity to use go or rust for something though.

Here's what the FBI report (https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3039030/Hillary-C...) actually says:

The FBI identified three e-mail chain, encompassing eight individual e-mail exchanges to or from Clinton's personal e-mail accounts, which contained at least one paragraph marked "(C)," a marking ostensibly indicating the presence of information classified at the CONFIDENTIAL level. The emails contained no additional markings, such as a header or footer, indicating that they were classified. State confirmed through the FOIA review process that one of these three e-mail chains contains information which is currently classified at the CONFIDENTIAL level. State determined that the other two e-mail chains are currently UNCLASSIFIED. State did not provide a determination as to whether any of these three e-mails were classified at the time they were sent.

When asked about the e-mail chain containing "C" portion markings that State determined to currently contain CONFIDENTIAL information, Clinton stated she did not know what the "(C)" means at the beginning of the paragraphs and speculated it was referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order. Clinton identified tied a "CONFIDENTIAL" header and footer (inserted in the document by the FBI prior to the interview) and asked if the "(C)" related to the "CONFIDENTIAL" header and footer. Clinton did not believe the content of the e-mail was classified and questioned the classification determination. When asked of her knowledge regarding TOP SECRET, SECTET, and CONFIDENTIAL classification levels of USG information, Clinton responded that she did not pay attention to the "level" of classification and took all classified information seriously.
It's a definitional issue. "God created the integers. All else is the work of man." The theory of reals is a convenient abstraction defined by axioms. It's not created by construction.
A MiG 29 is still on the trailing edge of what's considered state of the art for fighter aircraft. It's essentially Russia's version of the F-16/ F-18. I would imagine that mid-century F-104's would be much more affordable.
When I was a kid in the USA (Torrance, CA which is in Los Angeles County) the police came to our elementary school once a year for a bicycle information day, where they'd talk about bike safety rules and even had a little rolling road to test your brakes on. Most of my friends rode their bikes to school. So it doesn't seem completely unheard of.
Depends on if you use leaded solder or not (and really, I appreciate why people do - unleaded solder at home as a hobbyist has been a nightmare for me so far).
rsvg has had a bunch of annoying bugs and in general seems to be further behind in terms of sorted compliance and feature support. When I was creating SVGs for Wikimedia Commons I had to work around a number of rendering bugs. And I didn't even use Inkscape, I wrote SVG by hand.

In contrast, the lead developer of Inkscape is active both in code and on the SVG specification mailing list, oftentimes implementing new features ahead of time to see how well they fit into SVG and where the spec might still need to be changed.

In practice, when valuing spec compliance and feature support, Batik and Inkscape are the only sensible options. This has nothing to do with quirk compatibility.
Are you sure you post at random? Have you measured it? It could be that, besides posting interesting content, your time zone and life style just naturally maps to the majority of voters.
Brilliant, but unfortunately increases stopping distance.
As an advocate of FLAC, it has limited appeal beyond Hi-fi geeks / archivists / or music makers. Heck even storing local MP3 files is dated (though not recommended) with the proliferation of comprehensive streaming services (no endorsement on my part)
> Why bother with the F104? Feels like you'd want

Both the F-104 and Mig-25 are on the record as being very high-performance, record-setting zoom climb machines. There are some other planes out there that can do a similar job. I believe the F-4, oddly enough, set some records in that area using a slightly modified engine setup (water injection).

The F-15 would sort of be the textbook platform for this: there's a reason they used it to launch ASAT missiles, and you could fly one today with more powerful engines than that eighties-era F-15. On the other hand, part of Starfighter's appeal is that they can do these launches relatively cheaply.

> Mach 3.2 vs 2.0 for the F104

You're comparing a pretty desperate MiG-25 speed to the pursuit speed in the F-104's flight manual. Speed in level flight isn't really the issue here anyhow.

EDIT: Starfighters indicates their Italian F-104s will do Mach 2.2 while climbing: http://www.starfighters.net/fleet/

Lots of good stuff on that page.
To take issue with your later points: a lot of resource pressure is due to humans being to stupid to not throw away their resources. Take California for instance. They have two really big environmental issues: drought and fires. LA purposely diverted rain water to the sea [1]. This meant they didn't resupply their ground water. Billions of gallons of water effectively lost over the years. The fires are due, in great part, to poor land management at a state and federal level [2]. Historically rational loggers cleaned out the forests. This prevented the type of fires we have now. It also prevented the landslides because the forest survived fires and kept the soil in place.

All this is not to say that we aren't putting pressure on the environment. It just goes to show that the pressure we're applying is a result of decades of arrogance and stupidity.

One difference between Linode and providers like AWS is that the typical deployment architecture on Linode still exposes customer VPSes to direct L3 internet traffic whereas on a best-practices AWS deployment that is almost never the case.

I'd imagine it's easier to filter out bogus L3 traffic when the vast majority of your target IP space comes with explicit configuration as to what sort of L7 application traffic is acceptable.
Finally!

I wonder why this took so long. The assumption that no sane site would want to stream in lossless when lossy codecs were starting to be really good (and obviously much smaller)? Lack of expertise, manpower? Priorities? [1][2] Does every FF feature has to be 'parity-chrome'?

It's even more interesting that Chrome also sat on this for ~5 years [3] and are just now about to release it also.

Like the Firefox thread insinuates, will pundits credit TIDAL for lighting the fire under browser vendors to support lossless streaming? No such link appears to exist, aside from TIDAL already streaming to Chrome using NaCl [4], but when we look back in 10 years and see both of the major browser vendors adding FLAC support now as opposed to any other time in the previous 5 years, what will people think?

'"Unfortunately, these are not your stereotypical "bad" people that are dying from overdoses..'

Sorry to nitpick but this is a fairly delicate subject. Does a typical 'bad' person for whom it would be totally ok to overdose exist?
The existence of DRM in a format is usually the reason something doesn't get supported, usually due to licensing or patent issues on the DRM, if not because of philosophical/political/social issues around supporting DRM itself.

Do you mean to suggest that Mozilla would be/should be/are subject to third-parties who want to restrict access to only DRM-supporting formats (I honestly don't know if they are, but it seems unlikely)? It's not like Mozilla has a music store and needs access to publishers/distributors that will only get on board if there's DRM. Support for more formats can only serve to help Mozilla's users and their market penetration (even if supporting more formats is more of a burden, development- and support-wise).
Skeleton is good, but not prefect on mobile.

You can try it on your iPhone http://getskeleton.com

As I tried, scrolling in a scroll-view (the overflow:auto section) is not smooth, <select> element is ugly, and the <pre><code> even not working (although it might be the website's problem, not the framework's, it proved that they didn't tested on mobile)

Skeleton has another major issue, it overrides the default styles of <input>s and <table>s, making it very hard to set it back. This is not friendly to third-party libraries. As far as I can see, no other frameworks did this.
> just because somebody wants laws enforced doesn't make them 'xenophobic'

That is certainly true, but Trump has said much more than just calling for law-and-order (which, by the way, is a very loaded term in American politics: the phrase was first used by Richard Nixon as a deliberate code phrase intended to signify solidarity with southern white racists in the 60's). He has also, for example, called out Mexicans for being "rapists" and called for a "total ban on Muslims entering the U.S." Comments like those are xenophobic. The combination of xenophobia and law-and-order is very reminiscent of early Nazi rhetoric. That doesn't necessarily make Trump a Nazi, but it does make it not entirely unreasonable to raise the question.
Why is it always developer evangelists and never developers?
I think it's overkill for some use cases where lossy compression does a sufficiently good job. Most people can't consistently distinguish between high bit-rate lossy encodings and their original source material most of the time. Streaming FLAC will gobble a lot of bandwidth, and some people might find that to be a problem, especially on a capped data plan.
I don't see where the socket numbers are added. You test ac3 which is loaded from consck, but where does that come from? Or did you mean the code you linked to with "The PDP-10 code above"?
