Just curious, did you even read the article? Mubi is mentioned in essentially the same context as your comment.
> Do they get a pass because it's not their content?

I mean, that would be equivalent to suing a gallery because paintings are "discriminatory". Or the painter. Obviously ridiculous.
Your argument here applies against all services which provide access to people with disabilities at increased expense, and is furthermore highly dependent on how you define net effect.

Disability advocacy groups have pursued this cause through other channels, to no effect. This lawsuit is a last resort. The institutions have had a long time to get it together; as the article says, a letter was sent by the DOJ way back in 2010.
Having a smartphone is not a right, but the article does highlight a bunch of stuff that we in the Occident take for granted in terms of equality of rights:

"In parts of rural India, village councils, which effectively dictate community norms, have issued decrees barring unmarried women from possessing cellphones"

"In India, millions use smartphones to find jobs, bank, study, order train tickets, interact with the government and more. Offline options require freedom of movement not available for many women, and extra time and cost in traveling, standing in lines and filling out forms"

It would be unthinkable for modern western countries to segregate as described in the article.
There is value for them and for the public:

I didn't imply malice at all.

No, they should not call me. They should start with an inclusive perspective that eliminates the need for lawsuits. And when things slip through the cracks because of advancements in technology, or cultural shifts in perspective they should lead.

My point is that it's embarrassing because they had the opportunity to do the right thing, and instead they did the easy thing, which was to take it away.

Despite the altruistic acts of certain people, not every project was migrated. Those that weren't migrated are now lost and a part of our digital heritage died. I consider that a problem.
Your argument is based on whether I was being accusative in a legal sense. I was not, my use of front running was hyperbole. He took advantage of the predictable machine traders, it was a good strategy, if he wasn't the fall guy.

> The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, first proposed the tax in 2011 to make sure the industry paid its fair share after the costs borne by taxpayers during the financial crisis.

This sentence in the article makes it sound like they are not specifically going after the causes of the Great Recession, but the finance industry in general, but I'm not sure. In any case, it doesn't seem to be aimed at mortgages at all. Maybe reducing the amount of trading and finance is the point?
What I've Learned About Developing in Docker
What bothers me the most is that Netflix declared Hurricane Electric's Tunnelbroker service a VPN. I have IPv6 on my home network via HE.net and, since Netflix is a good network citizen and supports IPv6, I can't watch on my computer or any other device that also talks v6.

My household gave up our Netflix subscription in lieu of giving up IPv6.
Ah, that makes sense. Thank you.
Not trying to be snarky, but I really believe this is part of why Apple, Google, and Facebook originated in the US.
As a long-time OOP enterprise practitioner, I'm forced to concede in recent years that functional programming (FP) had it right.

Many challenges cited in this article become relatively simpler to navigate when thinking in FP terms (rather than OOP).
It might even be a tenable system if exclusives were permitted for a limited period. That way Netflix or any competitor could invest in their own content and attract customers with it for, say, eight years after release. After that period, the content becomes available to all services, and Netflix gets paid royalties.

Right now the closest you can get is paying one of the content services (often Netflix) their monthly tribute and treating it as such a hypothetical service. For any content not offered there you simply sail to any old bay of pirates that does have it. It may be illegal, but I find it morally defensible at this stage.

It doesn't make a lot of sense from a consumer standpoint. Any royalties 'owed' to anyone for watching some thirty year old film could easily be covered by a reasonable flat monthly fee (like Netflix' $10/€10), but the content owners seem afraid to make any rational steps toward a system that would actually gain them a steady income on their back catalogues!
We're operating a quite large, custom built scraper - this, together with extensive monitoring, continuous engineering effort and topped with some manual checking of the most popular content & providers keeps our users happy.

I'm inclined to agree for large, centralized databases, but I wonder if this would be a good fit for places where sqlite is used? This seems like it could be a good foundation for situations where you want to sync information without a central server, like between devices. An Access/Filemaker clone built on top of this would be cool, too.
My analysis is as follows: everywhere around the world big corps are pushing their agenda against the environment, freedom and the people. You can see it happening in the US, in Canada, in France, in Germany, in Gabon, in Brazil, everywhere. But people realise more and more that the global ecosystem is on the brink of collapse, that no "value for shareholders" can justify literally destroying the world.
We have a small chance of exploiting 1% of Mars in less than 100 years. The sooner we get our first factory there, the sooner we'll know if there is any reason not to build the millionth factory.
I disagree... looking at the rise of JSX and HTMLBars, MXML was, if anything, ahead of it's time. Being able to compose a page of components allowed for a clear understanding of the composition hierarchy, while allowing for structural components (like tabs) that have their children defined by the parent.

MXML is a key part of why Flex as so popular... AS3 helped, but Flex let teams of developers and designers work on projects... something that couldn't be managed w/ JS frameworks of-the-time.

If all you want is AS3's features, look into TypeScript.
Huh, people put blame for their piracy on Netflix as if they are suppose to take moral responsibility for pirate's actions. Just like people have freedom to not watch content they do not want to, rights owner should have freedom to not show content to those they don't want to.
Yeah, I enjoyed the "Invented Here Syndrome" article that was posted here a few days ago, for just those sort of reasons.
I've used bitcoin tip bots on reddit a lot. They are really neat, and I really like having them.

Of course the loudest mouths will be those looking to profit off micropayments, which then defeats the point of the system, which is why the only successful ones are the ones that start without the selfish motive to begin with.

ipv6 is not going to be a catch all answer. Despite having more addresses than number of computers we could feasibly build ever, rollouts of ipv6 are still allocating tiny blocks to home networks that don't provide enough addresses for guaranteed public IP addressing between all nodes. If Comcast only gives you 8 ipv6 addresses on your home router, your 10th device is being natted again and even on ipv6 you cannot assume a working p2p endpoint.
> There's no such thing as the "Proper Solution", there's only the best solution we are able to come up given the current knowledge and circumstances

I think that is the definition of a "Proper Solution".

Another way to define a "Proper Solution" is: the fastest solution that still manages to be maintainable while meeting all of the requirements for the project which is not "over-engineered".

I think that's the broad-spectrum "proper solution". I don't think there is any application that wouldn't want to meet these requirements.

I don't buy your reading, sorry. It doesn't make sense.

Sarcastically: How do I know you're not a protestor too? Are you one of them? Where is your "refuse to belong to any union petition" signature? Who did you vote for?

Protestor doesn't mean "someone who illegally obstructs or damages property'. This word doesn't mean that. It is impossible to read the quote this way,

> Erickson told the Grand Forks Herald that he did not, in fact, consider Goodman a journalist.

even if you bend over backwards like this: http://files.doobybrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/bendi...

Because it specifically talks about her status as a journalist, rather than participation or non-participation in what you call obstruction. It doesn't tallk about whether she obstructed anything - or was guilty of any crime. It talks about whether she's a journalist.

As a matter of fact I would like you to reread it and agree with my reading. Thanks.

Edit to your reply: ok. we read it differently. I can agree that there's a bit of interpretation involved here.
No. When CNN tells you reading things is illegal and you should only listen to their opinion, a line has been crossed.

You think it's downvoted because it mentions Angular? Baseless complaining. JSX is a breath of fresh air after all the templating languages that force you to learn a crippled pseudolang. What's next? For loops? Moving every feature that already exists in JavaScript into JSX with some arbitrary additional syntax? What's the point? It's already very easy to do conditionals with && or ternaries.
Even given the importance of disability accomodation, this provision doesn't make sense. Why apply it to a non-profit making giveaway that's mostly an artifact of something they wanted to do (compliantly) anyway?

That's like saying that if a store donates usable meat, they have to give a vegetarian option.

All it accomplishes is to punish those who go through the effort to make sure that byproducts of their mission can reach more people, and make it harder to "recycle" such products.

Think about it this way: it's already legal for me to make blind-incompatible blog posts and videos and give them away for free. This law is saying "hey prestigious institution, it's okay to give away your course materials for free, but you better durn well funnel it through a no-name blogger so no one knows where to find it!"
"It's just a pure math problem. It's like a math competition. You don't need to know anything about finance, you don't know anything about hedge funds... you don't even have to speak English..."

This is not a pure math problem. Eventually the outcome of all these models and predictions affects the stock prices and - if it becomes as successful as you hope - the economy as a whole. And the physical world: people, animals, plants, pollution, CO2 and so on.

I would much rather see work in that area - than this data juggling deep learning bullshit which results in profits being paid out to a bunch of intelligent, greedy and unwise people.

I just hope that when the intelligent people finally become wise, it won't be too late.
You don't know if you have a winning strategy. You'd have to put your own money and take a risk to find out. Plus you'd have to take care of data and feature engineering yourself.
"The problem is that method decomposition is not always done well"

Yeah :(
You don't really need to know what the features mean to make a good model. Even if only you knew the meaning of the features you'd still get beaten by someone using a blackbox approach. This is exactly what happened to the owner. He worked as a quant making predictions on this expensive dataset, and in the first tournament he was beaten by around 50 other modelers using anonymized features.
It is simply not true that caddy is JUST a collection of Go libraries, since parts of it like the Caddyfile concept are developed by Matt Holt, the (main) dev behind Caddy. Apart from that I would definetly say that Caddy is far easier to use than Apache or Nginx, which is a big bonus if you are just getting started in web development.
kefka's replies to this question are accurate (thanks!)
Libertarianism has bifurcated in recent years.

Many people including myself have given up on democracy. It just no longer makes sense to be keep playing a game we can never win. For a libertarian in a democracy, the system is perpetually rigged. It is clear that war is coming and it is time to stop playing games.

The truth is that democracy has nothing to offer us. It has bought nothing to the table.

The new libertarians or ex-libertarians, have decided that a host of values such as human rights, open borders have got to go.

It's this or the West starts to look more like France, Germany or Sweden. These invaders are killing, looting and raping in our own countries. This is why the right is rising, it has nothing to do with Trump, it does not matter if he loses, more are coming. Just look at how Reddit has changed in a single year. They will think Trump was Jesus Christ by the time conflict breaks out.

That's a reasonable belief, which is why the ADA does not require compliance by individuals. However, these are not individuals; they are large institutions with the means to provide transcription. Can you formulate an argument for why online courses published by large institutions should be exempt from accessibility requirements which does not extend to an attack on accessibility requirements everywhere?

With the Supreme Court in the pocket of the dictatorship, there's very little hope for Venezuela.

The totalitarian ascent to power was applauded by the armchair revolutionaries of the left wing intelligentsia in South America and elsewhere.

There is a time when you have to stop being naive and believing this is "good intentions gone bad". What's happening in Venezuela and almost happened in Argentina and Brazil is exactly what the totalitarians want: to seize power and sustain the political elite.

All, of course, in the name of the masses.
You don't necessarily have to know the meaning of the features to build a successful model. That has been done on Kaggle a lot.
Actually, I'm curious about that. I understand that "anime" in japan is a blanket term for all kinds of drawn animation, including western-style - so the meaning is more similar to US "cartoon" or german "Zeichentrick".

But given that the distinct japanese style of animation and storytelling (what the west knows as "anime") has spawned a whole industry and subculture and has become part of japan's image in the world, it would seem to me to be too important to not give it a distinct name. So I wonder, is there a different term in japanese for it?

To balance your view, I think js8's sarcastic point worked very well. There is much more to a person's achievement than 'raw productivity' measured by some arbitrary scale.
If you don't mind using remote developers, then your location doesn't have to matter. It's true that it might be a bit harder to find a developer (although Elm is getting more popular day by day), but the other side of the coin is that your application is likely to have less bugs and need less maintenance. My experience is that Elm takes a bit longer to write than JS/TS, but once written it tends to work correctly the first time.

> Either way, 0-F is a lot easier.

Easier for us because it's the conventional way hexadecimal was represented in computer history, and how we learned it.

That rune-like system is more "logical" in the way you can visually read the value by summing the segments/bits value composing the berkanam rune from least significant at top to the most significant at bottom.
The problem that always ends up with this is what defines "one task". I've rarely come across people who didn't agree with the notion that things should only do a single task, but I often find disagreement on the granularity of what a task is.

FWIW I don't prefer small functions for reusability but for reasonability. It's a lot easier for me to discern what that block of 10-15 lines of code is doing if it has a descriptive name and a type signature.
Isn't what he describes "the Perfect Solution" problem? In politics, it's used to block any progress by attacking the fact that the solution is not perfect. Obama talks about it often in relation to getting things done. Even if he wanted single payer healthcare, faced with it being impossible, he does the next best thing. His adversaries would blame him for an imperfect solution, but so would many of his supporters. Though there are things that he hasn't made progress on, I'd say overall his method works.

I'd take "proper solutions" to mean "nothing improper" which, to my understanding, is an extremely practical and feasible design goal for quality control purposes. Proper solutions definitely exist in this context. Encryption, handling user input, speed optimizations are good examples.

I'd go further and say, if a solution is proper (not wrong), and progressive (makes something better), it's good enough. Maximizing the better part might be subjective yada yada, but better is measurable, and there is no need to introduce the "proper" problem when dealing with the "better" problem. Whatever "better" that needs to get done should get done "properly". Isn't that what we're all already doing?

And of course, nothing is ever perfect. But it's a good moving target.
It is a problem that cheaters will fill gyms with ridiculously strong pokémon. Unfortunately, if you started playing significantly after release, even legit players are so much stronger that the game experience is the same. Alas, the underlying problem is bad game design.

"Seeing" - You physically see the crater on the moon.

"Calculating" - you don't actually see all of the craters, but you can infer, based on various new deposits/splotches of ejecta, that in the time reviewed, that approximately 222 new craters were created on the surface of the moon.

The difference between the two, is that in the case of seeing 222 craters, it leaves open the possibly that many others, particularly on the "Dark Side" also occurred. In the case of calculating, it may be the case that they are suggesting that a total of 222 major craters were created during that window of time.
Regardless of the changes, I really think that this is very well managed community wise, not strictly comparable, but hopefully stuff like this will avoid fragmentation of the community like angular 1/2, python 2/3.

I'm really surprised to see this anti-accesibility sentiment on HN, where you see comments about contrast/scroll hijacking/Javascript requirability and numerous other things the WCAG recommends against on nearly every link posted. You'd expect Harvard and M.I.T. to have wheelchair ramps so disabled students could get to class right? It shouldn't be so controversial that their lectures should be accessible as well. Maybe some are concerned over the possible costs but there are solutions to that such as crowdsourcing. Universities are meant to spread knowledge for all and even if they're a public good, they should still be held accountable for it.
Languages like PreScheme compile to C with no GC. You manage memory manually. So there's those kind of systems too.
I think part of the problem comes from the term "split". Some may assume you are a referring to splitting a function into two or more functions that are called from the original call point, while others may assume what you are referring to here, the separate of concerns inside the function into small sub-functions (which can also sometimes make them reusable) to encapsulate concern.

I think the former is of limited use if any, while the latter is an invaluable tool to managing complexity of a code base. That people may assume the former when the latter is meant is unfortunate.
