Short answer: you don't!
We give take home problems and have no issue with plagiarism. In fact we actively say use the internet, books, etc..., and we still get solutions that are wrong or do not even compile.

The ones that do come back and look good, give us a starting point for the interview. If the person did just copy it from somewhere else they have will have a hard time talking about the solution and various pros/cons.
O'REILLY: All right. Gay marriage, favor it?

TRUMP: I'm against it.

O'REILLY: Why?

TRUMP: I just don't feel good about it. I don't feel right about it. I'm against it and I take a lot of heat because I come from New York. You know, for New York it's like, how can you be against gay marriage? But I'm opposed to gay marriage.

O'REILLY: They say, the gays, that this violates their rights, that they are American citizens and they should have a right to live the same way heterosexuals live, and you say?

TRUMP: Well, I think it's a tough situation, and I'll tell you what I say. I say that we have other problems. We have other problems in this country. And I don't think a president should be elected on gay marriage or not gay marriage because we have some very big problems. Based on everything I see, Obama, who said basically the same thing as I do, I think he is going to come out in favor of gay marriage.

O'REILLY: Yes, he will. But you remain opposed?

TRUMP: I am opposed, yes.

For Artificial Intelligence to believe in God would be for it to believe in its makers, which are human. A machine would be intelligent to be aware that it was made by man.

A man doesn't need to believe in God to be intelligent. In fact, the two are pretty much inversely related.

So why don't they present any warning on HTTP connections?

It's not "basically no different" from an HTTP connection, it's strictly better than an HTTP connection, but not as good as a cert made with a more modern hash. (For that matter the same argument applies to self-signed certificates: you're still keeping a third party from snooping on the phishing attempt the MITM is giving you, which is itself a Good Thing.)
This is really well done, thanks!

You seem to be talking about the SMTP ports, right? What do you suggest instead? Port 465 with SSL/TLS and only as a secondary solution 587 with STARTTLS?

The current statement was based on [1] which recommends not to use port 465 but instead only 587 with STARTTLS. Granted, with STARTTLS, you have some additional attack vectors.

The law of large numbers establishes convergence (in probability or almost surely, depending on which version you choose) of the sample average to the population mean. This implies what you are saying but the simpler argument is just that if each /. comment has probability p > 0 of becoming infamous, then the probability of more at least one of n comments becoming infamous is 1 - (1 - p)^n -> 1.

Not quite sure how to answer that. Do you mean what was the label on the job req? I don't remember. I think it was "Senior software developer" or something like that. Is that what you meant? (And if so, why do you ask?)
Part of the issue we have in software is that many companies interview for computer scientists (which they sometimes/often think they need) when they actually are looking for trade/craft software developers (but don't realize/admit it.) So many discussions around this topic reveal this fundamental mismatch in expectations/perceived needs/skillsets.
From my own fuzzy memories that's correct - a full 100MT device would have been a pretty awful weapon, I've seen it described as something that could have utterly destroyed Belgium but that would have killed people in Russia with fallout.

I seem to recall that the Tsar Bomb had multiple tertiary stages?

Nitpick: it's tamper not damper.

Also without a fissioning tamper round it's secondary and tertiary stages the Tsar Bomb actually was a "fusion bomb" in that a very high proportion of its yield came from fusion. In most H-bomb designs most of the yield comes from the fissioning of the tamper round the secondary.

The average user is worried about their laptop. The idea of their laptop being hacked is worrisome because they keep personal information on it and it's a somewhat personal possession. So anti-virus get some play.

The average user doesn't care about their VCR. The average user won't set the time on their VCR much less set a password. In fact, I don't care about my VCR or my light bulbs or whatever dumb thing someone decides should have the capacity to be on the Internet (except I care enough not to knowing buy such things but in the future may unknowingly buy the stuff). If someone manufactures Trojans to put in people's homes and it causes other people problems, it shouldn't be my problem.
In that example the same error gets thrown with a Promise because you're talking about mostly a JIT error at file load time. (Promise.resolve().then(() => I am a syntax error))

The parent's point is that you still aren't doing anything with the callback errors (that first parameter to most node-style callbacks) and those silent swallows are a lot harder to deal with than Promise's silent swallows because node callback error handling is a convention that is easily missed/forgotten/ignored, whereas Promises always "bubble" exceptions "down the chain" and fixing global unhandled exception handlers in Promises is a lot easier (and done at a platform level) than fixing a codebase full of bad node-style callbacks.

This is a funny one, in conjunction with the facts about npm that 1) npm has no public programmatic API (and zero docs on it), 2) npm devs encourage you to exec() stuff and read stdout, as all the internal methods can be changed/removed at any time, also in non-semver-major.

I used to have script doing `npm view | grep ...` which now fails under node 6. The best solution I guess is to use a hardcoded version of npm as a dependency and rely on programmatic API rather than stdout.
I've run a few scenarios through the pricing tool and it seems very competitive (medium size four layer stuff).
It's not necessarily the case that they can do it in near-real-time (or near real time at reasonable scale). I would expect the true state of the art to take a while? Maybe part of the definition is real-time, but the article doesn't specify that.
If you run a non-profit, you tend to be a little dramatic with your titles because that emotion leads to fund raising and influencing legislatures. I think the line from "Return of the Jedi" about it being true from a certain point of view. It is quite a bit harder in this day with news organizations now using the same tactics to get clicks.

Plus, frankly, most people won't read about the issue or read the article for anything other than the headline put on it, so it generates outrage and postings which leads to funding and legislative action. Not something I like, but its how they work.

I've noticed some people just plain don't understand this mindset. My boyfriend was offered a higher-paying job in a state with lower cost of living but didn't take it. This was an absolute affront to some people we know, because we were turning down "more money!!"

We live more-than-comfortably and are able to save and make stupid impulse buys occasionally. We genuinely love where we live and are happy. For us, it seems just as insane to jeopardize that just for more cash and cheaper rent prices.
another open question: can we as a nation completely repudiate our government? they're long past acting for our benefit, and actively conspire to keep us stupid and afraid.

There was that moment with Theil's speech, but there was also the moment in Trump's acceptance speech where he said that we were going to protect the lives of all LGBTQ Americans, and he got a big round of applause from the crowd, and then he added, “And I have to say, as a Republican, it is so nice to hear you cheering for what I just said. Thank you.” It was a pretty amazing moment.

Since no one else has mentioned it, in the UK (and other Commonwealth countries) these are called "peppercorn" rents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppercorn_(legal)

On my previous house, we had a leasehold of just our garage, oddly, with a peppercorn rent of £1 a year. Being young and innocent, I did ask whether I actually had to pay this, but my solicitor just laughed.
"We're talking about..."

We're also talking about what they were talking about at the time, which includes who specifically to shoot missiles at from a drone. People with names like Obama say people with names like al-Awlaki, among others. People with names like Clinton say people with names like Assange, among others. I get the name Assange from the allegations of State Department employees.

Mainstream also means collusion with Democrats. Want me to link the several hundred correspondence between reporters and various DNC/HRC campaign staff that have been leaked in the last couple weeks? Or do you actually believe that's a real thing even though it's not heavily reported on?
Not quite sure how experimenting with different data models is ironic to calling someone a data denier.

Which "non-data factors" does the polls-plus model use, specifically?
delegation done right.
Primary versus secondary property, sovereign and allodial versus infeudinated ownership. Different in autonomous kind due to a difference in degree of autarky.
While I agree with the majority of your comment, I must note that there's a key difference between ad tech and surveillance tech. The two key points being a) individual targeted data collection vs broad anonymized collection and b) the data could potentially be used for coercion/violence/oppression vs marketing and selling products.

Just because the underlying tech functions the same doesn't mean they serve the same purpose. It's all context and that context matters. For example: You can use torrents to distribute legal files and "illegal" files, almost everything about the technology is the same but the end goal is different.

The data that ad companies get is largely a side effect of modern technology, not nefarious behaviour. How that data is then used is the question. We can be critical of the data collection as well on both sides but just because the technology exists and is used elsewhere doesn't give moral justification for targeted intrusion software.
There's more to living than being happy. A shallow, narcissistic life is not better than one with purpose and meaning.
This. Before I switched to 4 days a week (to do non-work stuff) I had 31 days holiday not including public holidays. I really value this extra time. The lack of holidays was one reason (albeit not the only one) I decided not to work in San Francisco when I had the chance in the past.

I would like to see a system of government that is similarly granular to your suggestion, but on technical lines rather than geographical. I tend to agree with very, very few of my neighbors on some issues, so rather than having to form a geographically local coalition, maybe better representation can be achieved by allowing the like-minded to choose representation across geographic boundaries, or to choose different representatives for different categories.

While we're at it, could we make this hypothetical government's legislature use a fractional (or maybe one-citizen-one-vote) tally, with representatives acting as proxies that individuals could override for specific votes?
1) No I'm not. Article I, Section 8, gives Congress power to "To regulate commerce . . . among the several states." When I buy a snickers bar at a vending machine in D.C. using a debit card associated with my California bank, that's interstate commerce. No need for a "necessary and proper" analysis.

2) Nothing in the Constitution gives the federal government power over "customs." It gives Congress the power to "collect duties." Clearly, Congress interpreted that in 1789 to mean it could create an agency to administer the collection of duties. But that same reasoning applies to any other agency, when the subject of that agency's duties involves an enumerated power.

3) General warrants gave authorities the right to go into peoples' houses and search them for contraband with no probable cause. Warrantless searches we see today do not allow the government to do that. Also: the Constitution doesn't say anything about general warrants. It just prohibits "unreasonable searches." What is there in the text of the Constitution to say that an warrantless exigent circumstances search or a border search is "unreasonable?" Besides your own opinion?

4) The Constitution "vests" legislative powers in Congress. The non-delegation doctrine interprets "vests" to require Congress to exercise those powers itself, but nothing about the words requires that construction. E.g. Article I gives Congress the power to "collect taxes." Obviously Congress can delegate that authority--the Constitution clearly does not contemplate Congress itself going out and collecting taxes.

5) No, the 10th amendment says "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution" are out of bounds for the federal government. But the 10th amendment isn't what makes that true--it's inherent in the design of the Constitution. So any 10th amendment issue is really a fight about what was "delegated to the United States by the Constitution."
Yeah. I Went from a Galaxy Nexus to a Nexus 6 -> Never understood why people though Nexus's were "affordable" (I think the 4/5 pricing was more the exception rather than the rule).
"Natural" doesn't necessarily mean "good." Yes, conspiracy theories are a natural byproduct here, but they're still ridiculous. Everyone immediately assumed, on the basis of nothing, that the US or the UK had cut him off, that they wanted to assassinate him, and even crazier stuff. Yet it turns out that his hosts just changed the WiFi password on him, or similar. Maybe they're tired of him crashing on their couch rent-free.

It's a big problem because people mostly don't notice corrections. A lot of people will remember that the US or UK cut off Assange's internet in an attempt to stop the flow of leaks. And of course WikiLeaks deliberately prompted this by making their initial announcement extremely vague and suggestive. The result is that a bunch of people now possess negative information on this issue. They're contributing to the dumbing down of the world.
These devices, when taken as a whole, will be largely vulnerable and there will be enough of them to carry-out enormous DDoS attacks. Our toasters are gonna take down the Internet.
I guess the problem I pose, however, is that a number of IRL trump supporters I've spoken to actually think of it as a legitimate source of some sort of thought. This makes it a very dangerous line to walk to moderate out inclusion of thoughts that _are in fact influencing people_ and thus as opposition _we should really be aware of_ (the overarching questions of "who draws that line"/what is acceptable at any given point in time/exposure to distasteful ideals/slippery slope towards echo chambers).

I see why the people who would argue not even alluding to the firsthand datasource would take that stance, but I would hope that a combination of critical thinking and community-guided discourse would allow exposure to distasteful ideas without having them "leak" or be shut down entirely.

Simply, flagging to deletion sits way too hard on one side of that continuum for my tastes. I would hope HN could remove the personal attacks and accusations but while still allowing for an informed discussion on the root cause and dogma; what surprised me in this chain was that the non-flagged top level response to OP was more of what you say in terms of personal attacks/accusations than the OP was, which is what motivated me to speak up.

I had my leader set to spacebar in vim and used mneumonics for the bindings already, but the main thing other than the discovery of forggoten leader keybindings(how many can you really remember even with mneumonics?) that I dislike about vim is how almost every extension just feels broken and hacked together. there are some that work well but a lot of them are just crap and I attribute that directly to extension authors wanting to use viml as much as possible to keep maximum compatibility and reduce external dependencies. Lisp is a good language that is self documenting as well as being usable. viml is a terribly hacky language that is awkward at best and counterproductive at worst. I still love vim but vim needs a better language around it. perhaps when neovim picks up steam the lua backend will lure people to write good plugins in it.(lua is a pretty good language overall). just depends on who wins the war now between vim and neovim now that vim has better async support.

> - Is the government allowed to act similarly as any other private company in regards to accessing information?

I'm pretty sure most people would say no to this question (at least, after you gave them some examples). The government is bound by the constitution in ways that private companies are not, for good reason. I'm pretty sure that's the point that the grandparent post was trying to make - that the ACLU should make clear that they are advocating that this is a situation wherein the government doesn't have preferred access, but they should have restricted access.
I disagree. A developer choosing to not handle the 'error' param in an error-first callback at all is incompetence from a node dev, akin to writing 'try-except-pass' in Python, whereas silent swallowing of runtime exceptions is a bug of the runtime and inexcusable.

Btw, I prefer Promises and the error-bubbling approach in principle for the reasons you're getting at, but the current implementations (especially in p0lyfills like es6-promise) are simply broken, due to the standards themselves being lacking. See this comment for fact the fix has been in draft for a while now: https://github.com/stefanpenner/es6-promise/issues/70#issuec...

That reminds me of the photocopier that used a very poorly chosen image compression algorithm. It would sometimes substitute similar looking characters to save space.
