Where was the due process for Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, a 16 year old American who was killed by a drone strike without any evidence of being involved as a combatant or part of an insurgent group? As far as I can tell, there was never any official comment by any government official about this despite countless inquiries. Never any accountability.

Hence my argument, due process is less relevant than ever these days. It is not at all out of the question for Snowden to be considered an enemy combatant, especially since we apply that same logic to any adult male in the vicinity of a drone target.

> In 2010 my doctor would get $100-120, now he gets $55-75 for the same visit.

While not incorrect, the rates doctors get just for being in your insurance's network has gone up as well (doctors actually get paid to be in-network). A doctor might very well take a loss per visit but they get paid thousands (if they are in a very populous area with a big insurance company) to be in-network.

I think Obama should not just pardon Snowden, but nominate him to a position of NSA director.

Snowden is both a top professional and cares about our rights and freedoms. NSA is still needed (in some form) in the real world, and I would definitely feel safer if Snowden was at its controls.

You can block merges until there's an "approved" code review in the Protected Branches setting. I don't think it has anything like "everyone who reviewed must approve" though.
>The rules of Go are rules because human beings defined them.

But this says nothing about meaning within this framework. "Concepts"/entities/units within the framework have meaning precisely because of the relations inherent between the entities and states within the framework. The ultimate source of the framework is not relevant.

The entities in the system do not "get" meaning because of a conscious observer, they get meaning because of the relational properties between the entities. If every person in the universe suddenly died, those meaningful relationships would still be valid. After all, the relationships entailed by math is true regardless if anyone is there to recognize them.
DNSCrypt Reduces Privacy
> First, we created one DNS record for each service (each initially pointing to the legacy deployment in Elastic Beanstalk) and made sure that all services referenced each other via this DNS. Then, it was just a matter of changing those DNS records to point the corresponding Kubernetes-managed load balancers.

If anyone could explain this, does this mean - the services still are being accessed from Public IP or does Kubernetes managed load balancers are Private IPs that can the individual nodes know about ?

If you got through uni by doing this, you went to a bad uni. Same goes for your statement about a thesis. I feel like you don't really have an idea how tough academia can be. Your comments are smug and condescending.

How many qualified people - currently working as PTLs or postdocs - would happily take your place for 10% less money? [1]

If the answer is 10+ (from what I recall of the academic job market, that seems accurate within STEM, outside of STEM it might be 100+) then you are frivolously spending money.

Seems to be a pretty obvious piece of advertising. As I recently commented elsewhere, I really want there to be non-Tesla options at this price point, but GM:

-Probably won't have anywhere as good of warranty service

-Probably has a much less nice interior

-Probably has much worse control and media electronics for the driver

-Probably isn't nearly as fast

-Lacks access to the Tesla superchargers

-Doesn't have advanced features like Autopilot

-Won't receive anywhere near the same level of ongoing software support and updates

For only potentially $5k less, I'll pass. GM has in no way made a competitive alternative to the new Tesla.

There is no such big-ish projects using Guile outside projects embedding Guile and guix. There is no wordpress or even framework as powerful and easy to use as Django or Rails. There is no support for https, it's kind of a no-go if you want to access REST APIs from Guile. Cookie support is not good enough. That said, the creator of Artanis reported some success using Artanis in a commercial setting. Outside that there is various free projects in the work, look at Guile homepage or ask on #guile. On my side I am working on search engine named Culturia.

This article is a load of garbage. It's not a dichotomy between towers and sprawl. There are cities that strike a balance between these, with mid-ride and high-rise depending on the neighborhood and the intended use of the properties.

You can have human-scale development, buildings 5-7 stories tall, moderate density that promotes local commerce, safe environments for children and other vulnerable groups, easy access to amenities, and much more.
It really helps a lot when you have huge swaths of the population that are simply stupid and you can turn them against minorities to further manipulate and control them. I think the US is far and ahead of all other nations in such means of control and has been employing it for hundreds of years. The difference now is that they have realized that they do not have to control all speech or even most speech and they do not have to use violence to suppress speech. It's a lot simpler to just mark people who the government doesn't agree with as conspiracy theorists or nut jobs and let the idiot masses discount them with their idiocy.
I'm curious about how much of the gain will simply be from newer tech being more power efficient by design... a decent computer today is going to use a lot less energy than one from 5 years ago.
The dirty little secret of "RESTful" APIs is that everyone was pretty much generating bespoke responses to every request anyway out of data coming out of a datastore.

Nobody has static files sitting on a server anymore except for static auxiliary assets (CSS, scripts, fonts) or if you're actually running a website with static content, which is exceedingly rare. Everyone has some kind of request router that parses the URL and the body and figures out what to do next, makes a query to a backing database, then assembles and massages the response to make it look like the mediatype the client expects.
Well sometimes you still need that Ph.D, though.

I recently enquired about a possible career at a small (<50 people) consulting firm. They do mathematical modelling and consulting and have scored a few high profile contracts. The work is interesting, easier than the typical Ph.D stuff and yet still challenging and varies a lot.

BUT! They pretty much only hire Ph.Ds. Why? It's mostly a reputation thing. When they send you to help out a client they don't want to send somebody who "only" obtained a masters.

The firm was started by two Ph.Ds out of school and could essentially be considered a startup. Barely 10 years old I believe.
This definitely enables a lot of opportunity to do both smarter querying and smarter caching on the back-end.

While you can indeed perform larger, more complex requests, GraphQL by nature forces queries to explicitly ask for everything you want to get back. As a result, we're not wasting any capacity giving you back a bunch of data for an entire object that you don't need like we would in a normal REST API request.

The thing that I'm most excited about with all this is the fact that we're building new GitHub features internally on GraphQL as well. This means that unlike a traditional REST API, there will no longer be any lag time between features in GitHub and the GitHub API.

API is a first-class product now. API consumers get features as soon as everyone else!

Please make sure to give us feedback during this alpha stage!

Similar happened to me, though I was older at 17, and my assailant was a year or so younger - I always say that he pounded me because he was clearly the better fighter, and a rough and tumble kind of guy but that it was probably pretty clear at that point that I just didn't care and he never came back at me because at the end of it, it would have been clear to everybody that he was tussling on the floor with a loser and his friends & peers were watching.

For much the same reason you don't argue with an idiot.

It's true that your dependencies have to execute, obviously, but it's much easier to slow things down if you can block while asynchronous work happens. Right now that's not possible.

Meanwhile, you still have to do more work to load the app in the first place (https://gist.github.com/Rich-Harris/41e8ccc755ea232a5e7b88de...).

I'm genuinely curious about the statement that modules can execute concurrently, and what that means for predictability. Jotted down some thoughts here: https://gist.github.com/Rich-Harris/9a270920e203e6df9477ca02...
The power of suggestion.

If you see that if you buy 5 and get 1 free, you are now thinking about how great having 6 in your house would be.

What's this? Buy 10 get 2 free? Now you are thinking about getting 12. That's now putting your find on the 12 vs 6. So now you may think 12 is too many, but 6 is good.

So instead of buying 1, you just bought 5.
GitHub Platform Roadmap
No. It is useless. Here is why:

1. HR is never on your side but on their employer's side. Plain and simple. You can spin it any way but that is the fact.

2. You don't want to burn bridges when leaving. Real negatives are difficult to share.

3. You are not going to take any actions anyway based on that. It is more of a paperwork formality I think.

If someone has already decided to leave a company, it is too late for an exit interview. People leave due to reasons such as bad boss, bad environment, shit money, better opportunity that they want to pursue elsewhere, start their own stuff etc. All these reasons have no use in an exit interview because as a company, it should be your job to ensure you focus on these issues while the employee is working for you.

You ask for parent to provide proof in some places but don't provide it yourself which makes me think you're more interested in arguing versus being productive (which, to be fair, some of parent's points sound like they're coming from a similar place). But just in case I have a few questions

>> - Snowden did not attempt to go through internal channels.

> is simply false.

As far as I was ever able to find Snowden emailed "district heads". That was the only internal channel he went through that I could find. Considering the NSA and the DoD in general each have channels to go through along with far, far more appropriate people to email / call about it (district heads is something you basically never hear about in the intel space; they're not useful at getting anything done) I would also say he did not go through internal channels.

If you have proof outside of this I'd love to read it.

> If it is that he fled, then it doesn't matter to where.

Why does it not? He had a very, very large corpus of classified intelligence that any enemy of the United States would love to get their hands on. Granted he had little choice once he got to China but I don't understand the claim that it doesn't matter where he went considering the payload he was carrying.

> You elide the difference between taking documents and releasing them. As others have said, vetting was done by journalists.

I'm not sure I would consider that vetting. Regardless a large corpus of classified and likely damaging data was taken, carried and given to multiple parties. A vetting prior to documents being indiscriminately taken would have been far more responsible though the considerable time that would have taken would have made leaking impossible in the first place.

I wouldn't be so quick so side with every single thing Snowden did to avoid being cast as a zealot.

Sometimes you just need to give in on these little things to get on with your life. For example, my friends complain about spam, but ever since I switched my email to 419.ng, it has been a thing of the past for me.

Another mark of the (delightful) complexity of coffee are the different "waves" of modern coffee culture (I'm not counting 17th century coffee house culture in Vienna).

One way to interpret this phenomenon is that our taste is changing as we discover new things coffee can do.

I used to like dark roasted coffee, traditional Italian espresso blends. Now I can't get enough of the single origin lighter roasts, which express just as well (if still differently) with pour-overs as with espresso.

But, buyer beware, with the soaring popularity of boutique coffee there's more "bad' boutique coffee than good. Take your time to try a lot of different roasters. That's the fun of it anyway.
Reviews are very exciting, but seem to be unable to fit the following use case:

I want to setup a repo such that a subset of collaborators (or organization members) can merge reviewed PRs to protected branches. I want the rest of the users to be able to create new branches and submit PRs from them, but _not_ to be able to push to protected branches. They should _only_ be able to land code in protected branches via reviewed PRs (via the merge button).

Is there a way to achieve this now that I'm missing? Gitlab's more granular user roles + permissions allow this.
Thanks for the feedback. (project maintainer)

I agree that "live edit" is an exciting feature. It supports a tighter feedback loop that lets you iterate in the correct context.

There are two challenges

1. transpiling, which would require a tighter integration with the project's build tools. Not impossible, but something that would require the correct UX. Chrome DevTools supports live edit now, but that is only for non source-mapped sources.

2. mapping to project sources. VS Code has done a lot of great work with source maps to map to the on disk sources with source maps. In theory, this should be easy, but there are many build tools and some edge cases with nested source maps, imagine an ember app that pulls in ember libraries which are also mapped.

With that said, this is definitely exciting and with the new front-end we can begin to work on an ambitious projects like this!

The financialsense link looks a bit dodgy to me. The first thing that pricks me about it is the way he complains about some change that happened in BLS's CPI calculation in 1997 (which is described here: http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpigmrp.htm). His response: But the manipulation of the data did not stop there. He seems to think that any change, no matter if it's justified on methodological grounds, is "manipulation". I imagine he highlighted this change because the shift after the change in methodology was down. He's entitled to his opinion, of course, but that doesn't make him correct.

His discussion of core CPI and the remark that "average consumers who quickly point to the fact the food and energy are big part of their daily lives" is also wrong, and the reason for using core CPI is usually discussed in textbooks (e.g., http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/26/core-logic/). It has to do with the fact that people need to predict future price levels when signing current contracts, and thus having a volatile measure of inflation would not be a good thing.

For an example of how methodological issues can remain for a long time without being fixed, consider that the Dow Jones Industrial Average index is still an arithmetic average of share prices, not weighted by market capitalization like other indices. So fixing methodological issues is something worthwhile, and should be rewarded, not denounced as some kind of political manipulation.

There is a difference between writing broken code many times while never learning, and writing broken code once learning why it was broken then starting over and writing good code.

If you are saying you can (and should) fix code but cannot fix, for example, a joke. I disagree.

Only once you know what the problem is can you decide if it makes more sense to start over.

I suppose we could also add sports to the reason of rising student tuition. Students are paying more for education to pay the salaries of sport staff and the other supporting costs.

When Football coaches earn more than any of the other faculty there is a serious problem.

My sons high school and every other high school in my county has spent more on sports facilities than on any other aspect of education. Football stadiums, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, several football fields, a parking lot the size of a football field for band marching practice, At least 3 massive indoor gyms, wight rooms. Everything is watered and manicured all year around and I would say about 30 - 40 % of the schools students actually use these facilities.

I wonder why my property taxes are 14k a year.

This just carries on to post secondary education but instead of property taxes it's student tuition that is paying for it.
The only kinds of Americans I have ever known to go to college outside of the US by choice are medical students because of, wait for it, the highly regulated short supply of continental medical schools, so they study in the Bahamas.

I don't know why you'd need any more than 1 semester at a boot camp to learn the basics or enough to work with a new programming language or framework.

Again, it's not about the education, it's about the willingness for someone to hire you and pay you money. So even if a boot camp that costs 1/10th of a college is subsidized so that tons of people join it, most employers will still see boot camp graduates as inferior to university graduates, because reasons, and because they want to avoid making the wrong hiring decision as much as they want to make the right one.
