- Doesn't properly take into account default-src. We have default-src 'none', but it's telling us that we haven't set object-src to none.

Nope. Would be awesome if they did though.
> This is a game you can't win by protecting the animals

Why not satisfy the demand? We're not worried about the demand for
chickens making them extinct, but if chickens were still delicious but
it was illegal to trade them we'd surely be in the same situation with
chickens facing certain extinction.

Why isn't that an acceptable solution for elephants? Developed western
countries sell expensive hunting tags for large animals.

Are elephants stuck in some economical limbo where it's too expensive
to raise them but too tempting to kill them in the wild? Or is profitable culling simply rejected out of hand for moral reasons that aren't applied to similar animals in the west (e.g. bears).

I don't believe anyone is requiring you to find it interesting.

However, enough readers of HN did find it interesting for it to make it to the front page. Maybe widespread understanding of the issues amongst non-experts isn't considered important for zoologists. I have no idea. But it's clearly interesting to some people.
You're referring to the article. the parent poster is (i think) referring to your comment "had no idea that ..."

In any case, you never know what discussion sparks insight. Poaching is driven by demand. Perhaps a campaign like the superman vs KKK could be employed.

I get distracted by shiny things, so I made a low-distraction work timer https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/low-distraction-work...

It moves pretty much imperceptibly so that it doesn't distract from the task at hand.
Nice. For those who'd like a todo list to go with their Pomodoro* timer, I've created Lanes: https://lanes.io.

It tracks how many pomodoros you complete each day and how long you spent being productive. Plus you can see the aggregate # of poms completed by all users of the app (which I find motivating).

*Not strictly a Pomodoro as the timer can be adjusted, but hey that's what the users wanted.
I read another article recently that had a picture of a huge pile of illegally poached tusks being burnt in a large pyre.

I wondered about the logic of doing this. Wouldn't destroying a large number of tusks just increase the scarcity and thus the value, thus incentivising more poachers to kill more elephants?

Burning the tusks wouldn't bring the elephants back to life. I would have thought instead that suddenly flooding the market with tons of cheap ivory would kill the value and reduce profit for distributors. Then again, it would probably spur demand when people see the increase in availability?!?

No easy answer, but at the crux of it, we have to remove the almighty Dollar (oh, ok - Schilling) from the whole equation somehow.
I can appreciate all of that. Thank you for the civil reply - I will keep this in mind going forward before I comment next time.
There's a CLI https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl. Which is possibly used by some of these sites.

As happy as I am that more people will use Signal thanks to the desktop integration, I am pretty sure I won't use it myself.

I consider Signal the only "secure" public way to communicate with me, and it's because it's restricted to a native app running on an unjailbroken updated iOS device, which puts the cost of exploitation in the 1M$ band.

Pairing it with a laptop, in a browser context, kind of defeats that use case. And WhatsApp is a valid alternative for convenience.
Well I guess you just discovered WoSign's next business plan! Haha

It needs a microSD for the stuff in the /boot partition (kernel+devicetree files+firmware blobs+bootloader), but everything else should be able to live on an external USB device.

USB+ethernet both use the same connection to the CPU, and it's a USB-OTG implementation basically hacked to act like a USB host, but it's possible to host the filesystem there.
yay, surely combining the worlds shittiest operating systems will be a good thing.
No. Think of UWP as WinRT + .NET Core. While .NET Core is available for Linux, WinRT isn't. Within UWP the UI stack is provided by the WinRT side.

Xamarin has an abstraction layer for UI called Xamarin Forms. This will allow you share UI code across .NET Framework, UWP, iOS, and Android.
Yup. I've worked with a couple companies now that use BBB or derivatives thereof in shipped hardware. Mostly managing other hardware, e.x. battery packs. It's a cheap off the shelf solution, and with it being open source hardware it seems (I have not been part of the procurement process) that they're easier to source in bulk. The Raspi has always struck me as exclusively targetting the hobbyist market.

"The amount we don't pay justifies the amount a consumer does pay"
I don't understand why you want to rebase in this scenario. All you're doing is throwing away information (the point where the branch diverged), but you're not recovering anything or making the history any "cleaner". Not only this, but you're introducing a potential for error, because a branch that merges cleanly may not necessarily rebase cleanly (e.g. if the branch made a change that would conflict, but then backed out that change in a subsequent commit).
While we haven't open sourced WinForms, there is a Mono version of Windows Forms. We've talked with the Mono guys about it and the general consensus was that the WinForms API shape doesn't make it very easy for cross-platform.
That's the big question on my mind. If it is standard, then I don't see anything wrong here.
>Secondly if Palantir works on highly sensitive data it probably requires applicants to be US citizens. So essentially it is probably discriminating against Asian Americans and not citizens of other countries.

My remark was about Arabic and Urdu speakers who are US Citizens (the possibility that they'd be foreigners didn't even cross my mind). After the Iraq invasion, there were many people who applied to work with Intelligence agencies. US citizens. They just happened to have ties to said countries (you know, your father or grandfather came to the US and you were born here, but your uncle still is in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, or Pakistan).

There was a severe shortage of fluent speakers despite a lot of eager applicants. A "We want native Iraqi dialect speakers, but those who speak it just happen to be of Iraqi descent. We can't hire those" situation.
There have been only six successful prosecutions for lying to Congress in the 60 years up to 2006.[1] One from the Red Scare, two from Watergate, two federal employees who lied about dealings with suppliers, and one involving the CEO of an insurer who filed false financial statements. Congress can do this if it wants to, but seldom bothers.

It's funny but I've seen the same thing with virtual carriers for mobile phones. The big name brand can charge a premium because lots of people feel uneasy going with a no-name service. Then they turn around and grab the rest of the market, the price conscious consumers, with an off-brand, avoiding damaging their big name revenue. I'm sure there's even people believing "if it costs more it must be better".
Can you back this claim up with some evidence?
It's easy. Use the --topo-order flag. This makes it show commits in topological order, which should group all commits on the branch together.

> This is not addressable with the contrived example of "you can create an encoding scheme that reduces an arbitrarily complex description to an arbitrarily short identifier". After all, this is not a constructed compression scheme. Why does nature expand simple expressions to these particular complicated forms?

If not these particular forms then it would be some others. That fractals exist is pretty-much the fact that pseudo-random number generators exist: you plug in a small amount of input and it generates noise. The fact that it looks like something is more a sign of the overactive human facility for pattern recognition than anything else.

Going pretty OT here, but I would argue that a much bigger problem than corruptness in government agencies is good old fashioned incompetence. It is damn near impossible to fire someone for poor performance in the federal government.

My father was a federal bureaucrat for over 25 years. He related stories of some employees he had to deal with who had major personality disorders, were incompetent, abusive etc., and yet it took years to get them dismissed, even though everyone from top to bottom knew they were nothing but a liability to the agency.

So does merging.

Conflicts that show up in rebasing may not necessarily show up during a merge. Having to fix a bunch of conflicts that only occur because you rebased is tedious and introduces a source of potential error.

> So, do we have ".NET Standard" now and ".NET Standard 2.0" in the future?

There are three key versions (and several others; they have 1.0 through 1.6 and 2.0) of .NET Standard referenced; the key versions are 1.5 (supported by .NET Framework 4.6.2 and later and .NET Core 1.0 and later), 1.6 (supported by .NET Framework vNext and later and .NET Core 1.0 and later), and 2.0 (supported by .NET Framework 4.6.1 and later and .NET Core vNext and later).
Your solutions would only make things worse. Repealing Prop 13 will hurt the middle class you want to help with increased Social Security. They'll be priced out of homes. Repealing it will also not lower housing costs.

Eliminating the mortgage interest deduction will do similar damage, as will eliminating the capital gains protections on primary residence sales. That would just encourage more people to sit on their houses instead of paying an extra 20% or so.

Limiting realtors to hourly compensation? Why don't we limit you to hourly compensation? That's the nuttiest, out of left field suggestion I've ever heard.

So much of your reply is nonsense that I'm tempted to think you're trolling, but nonsense isn't always a good indicator of that.

Those governments are also completely corrupt. Perhaps "completely" is throwing you off. I don't think it means "as corrupt as it's possible to be," but rather "fundamentally and routinely corrupt."
Congress is allowed to lie to congress, why hold 3rd parties to a different standard?
It's hard to say - but generally the companies that do well in logistics are the ones with the relationships with the downstream consumer of goods being shipped from China/India/SE Asia. You get the customer (Walmart, Apple, Nike, etc) and you get the shipping business from all their suppliers.
Don't lie to Congress.

That said, I'm not too torn up about the lack of prosecution. Congressional hearings are just a circus when they involve highly political issues. Most of the time, the "questioning" is editorialization, and Congress-critters use hearings as an opportunity to generate soundbites and score political points. Nobody is interested in the truth. I don't see any reason to dignify such hearings by treating them like court proceedings.

What would being an "Intermediate CA" actually mean in practise?

Am I right in thinking I could generate my own certificates for any domain I wanted and have them validate in any browsers or devices that currently trust StartSSL/WoSign? Or to put it another way, would it give me the same powers as running my own internal CA but without the problem of convincing people to install my root-ca?

I assume it _can't_ mean that, otherwise people would surely be up in arms (10k to mitm anyone is scarily cheap), so could someone educate me please?
Of course they can do this. Nothing like facing a revolution to concentrate the mind. The rich handled this whole risk very well once they realised revolution was a real possibility.

The only thing that amazes me is how strategic they were in handling the situation and how they were willing to sacrifice income and power for generations to win the class war. They are certainly being advised by the best minds available.
This is why I think it is better for wealthy nations to allow free import and settlement of foreign animals in their countries. African Elephants in American Zoos would be far more safer than the free ones in Kenya.

I really wish ivory wasn't confiscated and burnt, but rather was infused with poison and released to continue to its eventual destination.
I know this is politically naive but I'll say it.

Self-declared police nations (like USA & UK & France & their allies) are so quick to intervene in Not Their Country when issues like oil or political alliances are at stake. So can we see the same level of committment (e.g. military intervention) when large scale extinction events or environmental devastation are at stake?

Soldiers lives are precious. So this is easy for me to say, but would we really be putting much at stake to drop a peacekeeping (read: anti-poacher) presence into Kenya?

There are people protesting this in China and China banned trade of ivory. So don't damn the entire nation.
Kubernetes-Anywhere indeed deploys Kubernetes and the only Kubernetes asset is the `hyperkube` container (and even that is just pulled automatically when the node comes up). Makes for fast/easy node provisioning.
Even more so because the local religion is the belief that we're the "most free" and "fair" in the world. That coupled with decades of gutting anything like a functional education system pretty much works in favor of the corrupt and the powerful.
There is nothing cold about it. It is the smart thing to do. Give people ownership of the animal and they will defend it. But as one of the Kenyan person has mentioned about the Government (the law) itself is engaging in this so you cant really expect any private property laws being honored.

Best is to import these animals to USA and breed them.
This is excellent advice, being mindful is one of the best things we can do, especially with regard to stress and worry and posture as you noted.

> A tax lien is a public record. Banks will subtract the amount of outstanding liens against the property (even if not yet due) from its estimated value before deciding how much to loan against it. Yes, the amount will be smaller than it was.

Fair enough, though lots of people have ended up underwater because the banks gave them larger HELOCs than was wise.

None of this makes your proposal good, though. At best it magnifies the biggest problem with Prop 13, namely that it encourages owners to hold indefinitely (either as a primary or rental residence) rather than lose the tax benefits. Making a sale suddenly incur an additional massive tax burden will not encourage market liquidity. Nor will it encourage new housing construction in any meaningful way.

> You need to look at some actual numbers.

You need to look at what I was replying to. This was in response to your proposal that the maximum tax lien be capped at the difference between purchase and sale price. You were literally discussing the situation where the owner will walk away with zero dollars (negative, actually, due to closing costs).
