I wasn't assigning victimhood that I know of - Yahoo is just an older company. My read is that they'd have had to have pivoted pretty sharply. We tend to assign praise or blame on people who pivot depending on how it works out, but it's just not clear that anyone ( except perhaps a very select few ) is simply better at that than anyone else. It's as much gambling as it is playing a game.

I am not 100% sure which primary you refer to, but McCain never turned any company around and Trump has just pivoted to being a floating brand. He's left a trail of wreckage in his wake but still gets to claim otherwise. I don't hold bankruptcy against anyone but you don't then get to construct an "I'm a winner" narrative from that. At least his communications style is that of a con man.

Now, in America, the phenomenon of Perfesser Harold Hill is really a thing - a "jasper" who does good without being good - but the narrative there doesn't work, either.

I thought this was going to be directed toward Yahoo stock (YHOO). While I agree with the sentiment I would probably dump Yahoo stock too...
At 33, you have over 200k in stocks for a single company from working in IT. Can you elaborate? Are you all in on Tesla?
It still lowers the value of IP patents, since that value has most often manifest itself in suing Facebook/Apple etc.

With their value being even marginally reduced, maybe some patents will never be filed, or the value proposition of setting up patent-litigation entities is reduced enough to discourage it.

Basically this is net-positive for anyone who doesn't own or plan to own patents, even if it is even better for Facebook.
I live in a similar situation in Brooklyn, in an area ripe for shantytown-living.

The commenters who are disgusted at the lack of compassion, while on the morally-correct side of the equation, fail to consider the practical aspects of streets saturated with homeless people. It's at best 'tolerable', often 'kinda scary' and very often 'downright dangerous'[1]. Seeing this every morning and every night, in a walking city, is a drag on public safety and, yes, neighborhood value and progress. Retail and housing suffer when people have to step over passed-out zombies on their way out of their apartments or into their stores.

I don't know what the right answer is, but from my observation it seems that the police and the prisons play the role of the mental health worker and the shelter. The former is more expensive than the latter, but it's easier.

In the article below, it took several dozen overdoses before the police finally cleared the homeless off the street. It's not a coincidence that in New York City, the homeless (and associated social problems like aggressive panhandling and threatening behavior, as well as sexual assaults) tend to hang out not too far from their shelters. The location being referenced below is near several shelters (in a neighborhood that has a huge percentage of all the shelters of the city).

Thanks! Well, since I've got your attention, how does Padlock Compare to Bitwarden? Maybe you could point out some major differences in what works better in Padlock than in Bitwarden? What doest Bitwarden do better and how does Padlock plan to improve? (Although, this may not be the right forum for this...).
What is special about these feeds? The Facebook data was only publicly available data; ie stuff I could get by going to the right page in by browser. Was it the same with twitter? Why is it bad for a government to aggregate public data? Not just public data, but messages I assume the writers intend to be broadcast to the world. Were not talking about private emails or messages here.

I'm not trying to defend what is happening in a lot of areas with the police, I am just genuinely curious about the nature and potential for impact of these feeds.

How One 19-Year-Old Illinois Man Is Distorting National Polling Averages
In the US, when given a section 8 housing voucher(which is practically impossible to get unless you just happened to sign up a decade ago.); you can take that voucher wherever you like.

In my county, all a Ladlord needs to do is comply with some sensible regulations, like have running water, and he's a section 8 landlord.

A lot of landlords, rent barely inhabitable units, or run down mobile homes, and make a tremendous amount of money.

I knew a doctor, who bought an old trailer lot, and turned it all section 8 units. He made a killing off the government.

The tenants were just happy to not be homeless.
They're using different CPUs[0], different amounts of RAM, different base OSes, different drivers and even one different product version (Tensorflow RC). As far as benchmarks go this is pretty awful. It does show some useful top-level comparisons, but it's about as un-rigorous as you can get.

Maybe my thinking is clouded by Bay Area particularities, then. Here, when a school gets good, housing prices simply go up. Areas stay ultra-rich, and schools stay ultra-good. Look at Cupertino, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, Belmont, Portola Valley. Are these areas ever going to cost more than their taxpayers can fund?

It hasn't been for a long time, too. The US discontinued continuous air alert in 1968, when it became apparent that it was just too risky (planes kept crashing with live weapons on board) and ICBMs and SLBMs made it unnecessary.

I'm sure it could be restarted now if it looked to be necessary, but it doesn't seem to be.

Yahoo is simply the first company that we publicly know of that scans incoming emails. If the government can force Yahoo, they will force all of them.

Why not go to reddit.com and see who it says you're logged in as?
We're going to disagree on that because the alternative is a breakdown in the rule of law. If you're going to block a major thoroughfare, you should expect police response (it's illegal for a good reason), and that response to escalate if you don't cooperate.

You don't get an exception to law to harass hundreds, possibly thousands of innocent people just because you feel put upon.
>> which Netflix is not willing to spend on.

Or, just maybe, the license holder isn't willing to make a deal with Netflix because they want to start their own streaming service.
Your explicit grant to any patents that Facebook holds that may cover react is terminated.

Your license to use react is not terminated (https://code.facebook.com/pages/850928938376556).

So, what is the practical upshot of not having the explicit grant to the patents? Can you be sued for patent infringement for using open source software that may be covered by patents owned by the majority contributor to the open source software?

And on the flip side, the P-51 Mustang took 149 days from placement of the order to the flight of the first prototypes (and the near-immediate order of a run of 300 further aircraft for evaluation).

I'm not disagreeing with you that a test firing is vastly different from serial production, but the F-35 is the poster child for an unreasonably protracted and dysfunctional development process. It's a massively complex system with a dozen different major players all trying to pull it in conflicting directions with dozens of contractors all trying to make sure they diffuse the project across all 435 Congressional districts.

The overall implication that because the F-35 is a trainwreck that it's not possible to ever develop a weapons system on a fast timeframe - that I disagree with. The fact that we are dysfunctional does not make everyone else so.

Show HN: SqlPad – Run SQL in browser and chart results
I think substance abuse and mental health issues are huge, huge factors into why able-bodied men end up 'having' to live on the street. Getting your fix is expensive and can definitely take precedence over paying your rent (or showing up at work).
You're full of hate. You blame the reasoning because the result doesn't match with the result you want. Most hypothesis defending women are based on the same unsustained impression that women are still victims, and I've given enough evidence of that in the other comments. Can you even quote ONE quality of men (beyond violence)? What do you think is the place of men in society when society doesn't recognize us any quality, any usefulness, and sends us unargumented blanket insults (like you did) when we defend the right of being hired and promoted like women?

I don't know, I was all into affirmative action about woman integration until 29 years old, until the age all my female friends got promoted and until my first friend had to have a trial to get the custody of his own child: 4 years later I just feel like the only place where I belong, as a man, is submission to women or suicide.
Yea--I would love to live in a world where we aren't all forced to have "social media logins" in the first place!
I'm not sure I agree that this is analogous to copyleft. Copyleft says that you must license all distributed dirivitives under the same license, but it doesn't affect any other code you produce, you could still sue Facebook for infringing on your copyright in unrelated works. Whereas Facebook's new custom license only grants you permission to use and distribute React if you never sue Facebook for patent infringement, even if the patent is unrelated to React.
I'm not arguing in favour of the status quo, but merely trying to explain it. I completely agree that the current situation isn't very good---neither for consumers nor (probably) content right holders.
Based on the arguments in this thread -- I don't see the difference with respect to m.a.d. either.

HS launch could carry conventional or nuclear threat, it's not possible to know which after detection of launch. For mad, we must always treat these launches as nuclear -- and therefore in the end, no one uses these weapons (unless they are intending to launch global nuclear war)...?
This is fantastic! Besides listing text/topic recommendations, it has lots of pdf documents.
Hi HN - SqlPad has shown up here a couple times before but I've never taken the opportunity to do a a Show HN on it yet, so I'm doing that now :)

I recently took a sabbatical of sorts to clean it up a bit, as well as catch up with modern javascript developments.

I just published 2.0.0 to npm. No crazy new features from 1.x or anything, more of a front-end rewrite and polish of user experience while trying to keep the application simple and focused.
> (because nobody will take your money and give you the product, for example)

This argument fall apart in many of the examples cited in this thread because most of the time, those movies are available digitally for a price. The fact is that most people just don't want to pay that price so they use other means to watch the movie.
Just because it does it in tempdb, doesn't mean its not MVCC. That's an implementation detail.
Not all movies on iTunes are rentable. Been waiting for the third Hobbit movie forever.
>> do the media conglomerates not fallover themselves to make it happen

Apparently they are not willing to do so for their own reasons or their licensing demands are too high for Netflix to sustain their service. I somehow doubt Netflix is turning away licensed content because they don't want to make money from that content.
You don't earn an entitlement to live in a city; the city is obligated to justify excluding you from its area. In the U.S., vagrancy laws allowing police to generally run undesirables out of town have been found unconstitutional under due process analysis.

Everyone on the street is there for a variety of different reasons. You can't reduce it to choosing not to work.
Unfortunately, even though I would very much like to abandon mine (even though it's used only for some spammy registrations), email forwarding is not possible unless you pay them, which is obviously out of question.

So basically, the best I can do is start changing my associated email address at the services I care about that are still using my yahoo email address. After a while, my yahoo inbox will be 100% spam (as opposed to 90% spam now), so I'd be able to move on.

According to a statement given by yahoo to techcrunch it is a temporary problem.

That's not true. If you have a large enough sample, you can be confident that even a small improvement in mean, despite a large stddev is meaningful. Whether it actually matters in the real world and causes positive outcomes for people is an entirely different matter.
Yes, that is a fact. Minimum wage increases unemployment. Ispso facto.

No job ---> no self-reliance.

Homelessness is only a short leap from that point.

1. their traffic intersections appear to be extremely stress-inducing because it requires hyper-vigilance.

You can still do that without having the state run the program. The homeless problem in SF might looks somewhat different from Chula Vista, so it makes sense to have locally created programs in addition to state programs. Regardless, the state does run homeless programs, and earlier this year passed a two billion dollar program to build housing for the homeless.
Mush simpler. Open source != free as in free beer. That's enough to bust this argument.
I use an iPad just for running Animoog: https://www.moogmusic.com/products/apps/animoog-0

If you're at all interested in music synthesis this app cannot be beat. It's a lot of fun. I think it's an extremely well-designed app because it really takes advantage of the iPad's multi-touch screen for its virtual keyboard.

You can switch to "grouped" above the charts to change it.

...and you could argue that it does make sense for showing how X fares across categories Y,Z,T... The height of the bar is proportional to the average performance across the different frameworks.
From the GitHub wiki, an org specifies a key that is used to sign a list of all other keys, which is then distributed over HTTP. Quite similar to a private key server, but doesn't require running special server software I guess?
> It's not a computer. It's not a Windows release. It's not even old.

Win93 seems pretty olds to me.

> It's a recent site that mimics (satrizes) some of the behaviors of Windows 95.

How can this mimic or satitise Windows 95? I understand a less complex system can simulate a more complex system, but only slower, or maybe, but _2 years_ between releases with superior Wm functionality degraded???

It doesn't even have Winsock, and that was done in 1992!
Here's another perspective. I started learning JS in reverse and ended up just creating my own framework because it was less verbose. But you would hire me over your patch-and-patch fellows?

Perhaps the right answer is to code know the basics but also have a handle on the popular frameworks too.
Doesn't really matter that they've made Pipelines available for all users when it's lacking some pretty basic functionality. Like the ability to do something on failed builds.

But other than that it looks really good and responsive. Going to be interesting to see how the influx of new users will impact the average build time.

"High risk, no-income." Really? Section 8 supports the working poor. You need to check your prejudices against reality.
I believe the common wisdom here is that no nation has remotely accurate targeting location on US carriers. This hypothetical attack would require intelligence and sensing capabilities that don't currently exist. I'm not saying this isn't possible, but right now you'd have to fly an enemy drone or plane near the carrier group to get any accurate targeting information and that plane would be shot down or jammed well before it could determine the exact locale, especially in wartime where such things would be not even be given a warning and all sorts of electric countermeasures would be on 24/7. Worse, unless the carrier is parked, its moving and hypersonic missile attacks against moving ships is an unsolved problem. You can't do last second course corrections at Mach 5.

The obvious solution would be to just have many megatons of kinectic energy hit near the carrier group via a decently sized kinetic, but the US would treat that exactly as a nuclear attack by a foreign power and respond in kind. It would probably look like one to central command as well, mushroom cloud and all.

I think the idea that these things will be stealthy, maneuverable, unstoppable, accurate, and undetectable is a little much. These weapons come with quite a bit of liability and might be impractical in any non-total war scenarios. The US is not going to let China and Russia blow up carrier groups with multi-megaton weapons and not respond in kind with its own megaton weapons, either nukes or large kinetics against military bases or capital cities. Once that hotpoint is reached, nuclear war is assumed. A kinetic strike against USS Ronald Reagan will mean a kinetic or nuke strike against Beijing or Moscow. The Chinese and Russians would know our escalation policies and would act accordingly if they don't plan to start WWIII with these weapons. Whether these policies have been officially written yet is the only real question here. Its safe to assume multi-megaton attacks against the US will absolutely not be tolerated and will not be treated with a conventional response.

You can't trust localhost to be localhost-only (security fix for Guile)
Don't do this.

You have worse data, less training and slower connections to the exchanges than the competition. You're spitballing in an arena (merger/stat arb) filled with smart people thinking day in and day out about this specific phenomenon.

I used to build market-making algorithms for exchange-listed stock options. Many of our counter-parties were stat arb funds; we'd try to pre-empt their moves. We'd then predict how their likely trades would interact with our merger views as well as our predictions around how other stat arb funds would trade, and trade on those meta predictions.

I'm sure there were turtles another level down trading based on predictions of how our meta models would interact with other market makers' meta models and the stat arb funds themselves.

TL; DR options are complicated, stat arb is complicated, and lots of smart and dedicated people are making it all more complicated every day.

IANAL, but:

Your license to React.js patents terminates. Your license to those patents was valid before you sued, so you cannot be sued for past damages. If you continue to use React.js after you sue, you then would become vulnerable.

But your usage of React.js has little to do with that. Any patent that Facebook has that applies to React.js probably also applies to pretty much any other modern web framework. There are tons of Facebook patents that you're violating already, whether you use React.js or not.

Patents are only useful for trolls and big companies. Any little guy trying to assert patents is going to lose big time in the counter-suit.
Exactly, which is why I always find opposition to vouchers entertaining. The only people who have real choices are the people who can afford to buy housing to pick a school. People flip out when vouchers are mentioned as if giving that choice to everyone is some kinda trick.

I think it's understandable that Facebook want to be protected from the possibility that contributer X contributes code, and then sues Facebook for patent infringement, because the code X contributed was patented. This concern is well addressed by Apache license 2, there was no need for this custom license that goes too far.
