This is what I was thinking[0]. There are loads of really expressive BSL signs that are more than appropriate for this kind of discussion. This is unsurprising as deaf people have group conversations too! As a note for those without experience of BSL, the signs are often dynamic and where consensus/voting is being expressed you usually hold the last part of the sign.

The occupy signs are deliberately chosen to be readable from really great distances and not being part of a larger signing system they are hard to expand upon.

There's strong anti trade sentiment in the US right now, with much of it being among people who are not especially partisan (so they are more likely to vote the issue rather than a party).
Not that much has been changed since the times of Egyptian pyramids - producing himeras and pure abstractions out of words and socially conditioned mental constructs is still one of the most rewarding occupation.
Gluing the tubes together is one of the biggest hurdles, mainly because the individual tubes aren't long enough. If we could make 30cm-1m long tubes (of the strongest kind) we could do with essentially sparsely interlink the tubes, esentially having the nanotubes become part of the matrix. This would also give us freedom in choosing the rest of the matrix for the other properties needed.

So while not exactly nanotube reinforced nanotubes, pretty darn close :)
Wikileaks tends to have a history of publish everything worthwhile. It is very possible that there is simply more far more data on Clinton. I remember years ago when all the republicans were so against wikileaks, and HN type progressives being for them. Now that its more the other way around all of the sudden wikileaks is a Kremlin shill organization.
Assange has publicly stated that he doesn't want HRC to become president. He hasn't officially supported Trump, considering the choice between Clinton & Trump the same as choosing between cholera and gonhorrea.

As to why there's nothing on Trump, it may be anything. Actual support indeed, or just no documents coming up on the republic party.
> Check out Trump's rhetoric: he admires Putin, he clearly doesn't want war. Check out Clinton's rhetoric: conflict.

I am embarrassed to say, but you've just changed my mind to vote for Trump.

I'm fundamentally a single issue voter. I think the most important problem is one that no one in the world is talking about right now: escalation with Russia. The situation has slowly been getting worse since 2002 when the US withdrew from the anti-ballistic missile treaty [1] and is getting worse faster.

I also think there's a massive misinformation from the US government about its interactions with the Russian government. What I mean is that the narrative that the US government tells its citizens is that anything that the former does is very well justified (eg bombing Syria) whereas anything that the later does is just because Russians are evil (eg invading Ukraine). Yes, obviously the Russian government uses the same misinformation on their citizens, the difference is that the US is much more successful at this game at the international level. The problem with the citizens specifically is that if two governments are enemies and they have the support of their respective populations... you can imagine what a small leap it is to start war.

Yes, Trump is a racist dimwit, but I think that is secondary compared to the consequences of more war.

They don't worry about whether stuff is worthwhile before they publish it. They publish anything they think will get them attention.
Sorry, I fail to see the connection?
Because they have it? I'm sure if they had Trump's tax returns they would leak them.

Why does it have to be a conspiracy that they're trying to help Trump? He's beaten up in the news everyday. He doesn't seem to need any help getting into trouble.

>Careful with your terminology there. To be "ripped off" requires...

>It is not possible for an engineer contemplating accepting a job offer from Facebook to be "ripped off". He's in intelligent businessperson

For someone telling people to be careful with their terminology, the word "businessperson" sure is an odd way to describe a W2 employee taking on a full time job.
FWIW I don't think the note is sufficient. And they didn't even link to the Recode article they copied!
My local library (Toronto) has a "digital innovation hub" where you can use 3d printers, 3d scanners, studio video cameras, green screens, DJ decks, and Arduino. I think it is a step in the right direction for libraries.
So the allegation that "western" sites somehow do similar shady deals falls flat on its face, because the Wosign situation is all about the actions of a trusted CA. There is no comparison between trusted CAs and other random/untrusted/removed CAs.
Likely it is too formal, extremely cumbersome, and implies everybody has a vote.

So.. what is the worst that has come out of these speeches? Clinton probably withheld the speeches to disarm her opponents, not because she said something so outrageous that in itself would destroy her chances of presidency.
They are deriving a database from OpenStreetMap. Has anybody found where they share that data? It's likely that the OSM data license (the ODBL) requires them to publish the derived database.

>You can look at developer velocity

Developer velocity compares what you thought the complexity of a problem was vs how much time it actually takes. It conflates the level of optimism with the speed of development and glosses over how complex the stories should be.

Smart developers get overly pessimistic when pointing stories if they're measured by developer velocity rather than actual business value delivered because it makes them seem faster.

>and bug fix rates

Last time that metric was taken seriously developers deliberately inserted bugs.

I think you might get better results in the first stage using the dependency parse from CoreNLP - rather than the phrasal parse. Online demo at http://corenlp.run

If you're willing to drop CoreNLP there's also https://demos.explosion.ai/displacy/ that's worth checking out.
Thank you for the not asinine recommendation, sn9.
"Scientists estimate that more than half the human brain is involved in processing what we see. Only about 1 percent or so is dedicated to taste. [...] If researchers want you to really taste something, feel its texture against your tongue and smell its subtle notes, they will make you eat it in the dark or under lights that mask colors. Humans are color-seeking animals, and food companies learned to manipulate that trait early."

This is why Heinz's attempts at green ketchup years ago failed to impress. My kids thought it was an awesome idea. And we all agreed it tasted exactly how ketchup should. But that bright green on your food where you expected a rich red ... it was unsettling.

How to Become a Cliodynamicist
I like two people per room. It is great for knowledge transfer, but unless your partner is rude, there is no distraction. Three people per room is bad, though. Two talking distracts the third.
I'm mixed on this.

Taken literally, the style is horrible. But as a concept, particularly for a complex work, laying out the structure in advance, and periodically touching base to detail what's been covered and what's yet to come isn't a bad idea. Of course, in a text, readers can accomplish this for themselves by skimming the contents, flipping to the end, and examining the notes and/or bibliography, and index (assuming a book-length treatment). I'll frequently skim an article, essay, or book first, to get a sense of its structure.

Reading and re-reading is another approach.

I get a stronger sense that such "here is the structure of this book" type introductions are born from initial outlines which guided the author. In many cases they can be significantly streamlined, but they're not entirely useless. Among technical books, the O'Reilly formula is generally pretty good -- it provides guidance but isn't overly pedantic.
I've noted several negative reactions toward Clinton based on prior leaks from people who had simply inferred wrong-doing on the basis that the most notable leaks tend to reveal duplicity. This handful of people whom I have observed felt it unnecessary to actually delve into the documents before passing judgment.

Anecdotal, but I'm convinced I'm not the only person with this experience.
So this is the result of a pretty recent hack. Publishing the speeches would've done a lot more harm early in the primaries, making it harder for Clinton to shift her emphasis (and occasionally positions) in response to Sanders.
It looks like anyone with stuff to leak about Trump is choosing to send it to either the mainstream press or the Clinton campaign at the moment, both of which can be relied on to use it for maximum damage. Even if Wikileaks was willing to publish anti-Trump documents and spin them as evidence of the most dastardly deeds possible, why send them there when the NYT will do the same with a much bigger, more trusting audience?
Julian Assange has stated publicly that he has a vendetta against Clinton because of her attempts to prosecute Wikileaks while Secretary of State[0], and that he intends to destroy her campaign.

>Are they in-directly supporting Trump ?

Yes. I doubt that Wikileaks, Trump and Russia are actively conspiring towards Trump's election, it just happens that the goals of the Republican Party, Russia and Julian Assange all happen to neatly correlate - Trump wants to be elected, Russia would rather Trump than Clinton was elected, and Assange wants Clinton to not get elected.

All that requires is from Wikileaks is a willingness to publish anything that even appears damaging to one party and nothing damaging to the other. Luckily for Trump, anything published by Wikileaks appears damaging by default, because people assume a level of impartiality and due diligence on their part that they may not really be engaged in.

The fact alone that there are leaks related to the Democrats and not the Republicans will lead people to assume that the Democrats are more corrupt, and the Republicans more trustworthy.

Not one mention of this on CNN or MSNBC this morning. It disappoints me how rigged this election.

edit 1: It is however on their websites. The Clinton campaign was smart to counter attack. I still would expect them to cover this on tv, though.

edit 2: CNN is covering it now.
It's probably not the pro-trade stance so much as the spotlight that's on the $26 million she was paid for those speeches. It conveys the impression that she is beholden to Wall Street financial interests.

It may not damage the Clinton campaign, though, because Trump's womanizing talk came out the same day and is attracting more attention.

This election season has a scandal-of-the-week feel to it, and many Americans are looking forward to it being over already.
Does anyone think that if the corporate news media, owned almost exclusively by avid Clinton supporters, would hold anything back on Trump if they had it? Maybe there's just more data on Clinton, dirty or clean.

It's amazing how quickly they blame Russia. Russia may be a shrewd international manipulator, but that doesn't mean that every time data come out on the Clintons, they're from some 400 pound dude in the Kremlin.

Have people considered that Trump has had considerably less public interaction, and is not tied to as many organizations as Hillary is? I mean, there could be lots of good reasons why all the dirt we can find is on her.

I'm not sure the Russians need to be involved in any way, given how much Hillary and Assange detest each other. Obsessive tweets in his case; a reported sardonic suggestion to "drone the guy" and more serious consideration of prosecuting him in hers.

The trouble with @Wikileaks obsessively and indiscriminately tweeting anti-Hillary leaks of greatly varying significance is that it tends to do a lot less damage than one or two really big revelations. I mean, it's really not Hillary's message and target audience I'm worried about when @Wikileaks tweets about her "private Jewish speech" when she - shock, horror - apparently observed that Saudis had exported a lot of extreme ideology in recent years...

No one in eastern europe knows how to run a honeypot? Or the article is wrong that Russia attacked them? If they are attacking non government computers that doesn't include every candidate's website?

I have no question that Russia has infiltrated these machines and is as interested in manipulating elections as the US is capable, but manipulation through public disclosure of data is not a precedent Russia should want. I think the treatment of Russia is clearly a boogey man response and everyone would know that and know they needed such a deflection, if they were going to mount such a rough shod attack.

Forensics could only deal with a serial killer who collected used condoms to confuse them since he used too many.

There is a rapidly growing group of people that are tired of the status quo. They are reacting strongly against the neoliberal and technocratic establishment. To the very large masses of blue collar workers, globalism means watching their jobs move to cheaper markets.

This is the environment where populist movements arise, which are not tied to traditional right/left politics. Hence the rise of populists like Trump, anti-establishment reactions like brexit, and a long list of similar movements that have been popping up around the world.

For a good explanation of this (with charts!), see Mark Blyth's recent lecture[1].

While you're right on with Trumps close ties with Russia, it's not accurate to say that the Republican party is. In fact, senators like McCain and others have long pushed for arming Ukraine to combat the Russian incursion and there was bipartisan support to sanction Russia over Crimea. It's really just Trump.

One of the most damaging pieces of "advice" I ever received was that not finishing side projects is a bad thing. The result of internalizing that? I stopped starting side projects. By time I realized the negative impact (harder to learn when you don't do new things) it had already changed my habits, and to this day (years later) I struggle to get back to where I was with being able to dive in and explore random ideas I get.
Capitalism is around 200 years old. Most of the extreme income inequality in the States has been going on for only around 30-40 years or so. So I don't think you can necessarily blame only capitalism for this.

Also, I don't think anyone knows the exact causes of this growing inequality - some libertarians, for example, would argue that it's excessive regulation that is causing part of the problem - which isn't capitalism, it's the opposite of capitalism.

But most importantly, note that I specifically talked most strongly against the idea that only the rich get richer. Just as an example, how many of today's billionaires are relatively new to the game? It's not all of them, not by a long shot. And while some minimum level of "being rich" is certainly a factor (in the send that everyone who lives in a 1st-world country is rich), there are lots of people on that list who started with relatively little.

Fight Club makes a lot of the same points about office life, but does so with confidence in its own observations rather than by pegging them to someone else's work where they really do not fit.

To be clear, I'm not sure I agree with a lot of what Palahniuk has to say on the subject, either, and I'm not really a fan of his in general - IMO he goes for shock over substance rather too often, and he looks like the sort of dentist of whom you're not really surprised to hear he's been caught molesting his patients. But I'd have to say that in Fight Club he outdoes himself.

I'm sure plenty of "western" sites have attempted to get similar deals (FWIW, Tyro, one of the companies that got SHA-1 certificates from WoSign, is based in Australia), but I'm not aware of any other CA incidents like this one. Other CAs seem to either use pulled roots or go through the proper exception process for SHA-1 issuance in the CA/B Forum. No one else has been caught backdating SHA-1 certificates to my knowledge. (For now?)

(Symantec accidentally signed a SHA-1 certificate from a publicly-trusted root while preparing their SHA-1 issuance exception application, but that's not quite as bad, I guess.)

So much this. Through a series of unexpected events, I ended up studying math in undergrad with no clue why or what I was going to do with it. My senior year I took a class called "Applied Modelling". The first project was a simple, one sentence question: "What would happen if the Greenland ice cap melted?".

It reminded me a lot of Randal Munroe's "What If" blog on the XKCD site [1]. Easy to understand, open ended questions that encourage readers to learn a little about topics _outside_ of math to answer the question. The class gave me an appreciation for math that was lost during all those years of study before that, and it's basically my career now.

Yeah, I often use React or a more react-like library because of this reason.

That said, I feel Vue does offer some things that, say, Angular/Knockout/Ractive don't to offset this, so I could see myself using it in some cases where I would otherwise go for React.

I rather like the documentation, for one, as well as the tooling that offers single-file components (js/css/markup) and plays well with the editors I use (Sublime, Atom).

I've also found that it's often easier for others to learn the angular-like markup compared to learning React.

"Does anyone think that if the corporate news media, owned almost exclusively by avid Clinton supporters, would hold anything back on Trump if they had it? Maybe there's just more data on Clinton, dirty or clean.".
It is all a matter of timing releases for maximal impact or damage control, so yes, they hold back data until it is needed. Do you think the timing of the Trump sexist video release is coincidental and unrelated to these Clinton speech releases?
You're assuming that whoever leaked this primarily wanted to harm Clinton but the alternative is that they want to help Trump, which is not the same thing. In the latter case, the timing is perfect.
