Don't twist my words. I said that they have never leaked fake documents. They clearly have an agenda in what they select for publishing.

In response to mejari (both of his replies) below, I'm rate-limited:

================================================

Did you even read that article? That's not what it says. They just didn't publish the documents. What it does say is that the hackers that stole the documents were joking about editing them before sending them to wikileaks.
I don't think I've heard a story about the equalizer, but I think in general you're right. It worked out that Jobs hit on products that were successful enough of the time, but "idiosyncratic" seemed to be one of his defining characteristics. A few of Jobs's products were so wildly successful that we tend to forget or gloss over the ones that, well, weren't so much.

I think idiosyncratic also describes Jony Ive -- but as a pundit (possibly John Gruber?) put it on a podcast recently, Jobs was a better editor. He was good at zeroing on what made designs work rather than merely beautiful. If I have any major criticism of the post-Jobs Apple, it's that they seem to prioritize aesthetics over functionality. I know that's a knock that critics made against them long before the Tim Cook era, but I don't think it was really true until post-Forstall.

(And no, I don't mean losing the headphone jack. I mean more things like the entire UX of the new Apple TV, from the beautiful user interface which makes navigating through multiple seasons of a TV show an endlessly scrolling nightmare compared to the previous model's design to the thin, elegant, ergonomically disastrous remote control. Ive seems particularly drawn to the notion that thinness and symmetry are more important than usability.)

i think it is pretty silly to say he has no stake in the election. almost everyone on in the world has a stake in who the american president is. even if it didn't have a direct effect on him, he is extremely idealogical and sees it as himself fighting against the global elite.

I've never seen that. Has anyone else?

I've had talks rejected from places even where we were sponsoring.
How so?

I'm colour-blind (a bit red-green, a bit other things) - that's a blurring of boundaries; so we absolutely will disagree on what a colour is (though oddly I can literally see colours change in front of me once I 'know').

Why is it so implausible that people may have the same boundaries, but with things swapped such that they experience a different 'colour', say what you see to be 'blue', every time that you say 'red'? They'll still call it 'red'. You'll agree every time you see it.

Good point, even for non-sponsored talks, they may have an agenda which is based towards certain topics that cover certain technologies for certain companies, you get the point.
It was initially in 2010 in response to the Manning leaks.

from the bloomberg article:

>Sarah Harrison, a British journalist and a longtime WikiLeaks editor, says that the organization would publish documents damaging to Trump if it had them.

The bloomberg article also quoted someone from reddit as evidence that the right wing was 'shivering in anticipation' of leaks damaging to clinton. It's not great journalism and seems biased but it doesn't seem there is any evidence that assange is pro trump.
Model 3 is not good enough for the LAPD? I guess when you get used to patrolling in tanks, a Model S already feels like a major downgrade.
It took me about six months of using vim every day to feel like I was as efficient as I had been with Textmate or BBedit (the best options available to me at the time). I was already very agile using the keyboard shortcuts in BBEdit and other Mac text editors, but now for text editing I really do prefer vim's modal style.

And yes, after having been using vim 95% of the time for a few years, it really is faster to keep hands on the keyboard instead of using the mouse. MacVim lets you point and click to position the cursor, just like any other text editor. I almost never do, though.
> What kills me even more is the whole "get motivated" movement. I know I'm ranting but to me, society looks like a giant treading mill. Happiness and the slow, intelligent life have been forgotten in favor of a society of endless work and jobs. Contributing to the labor force has become a religion. The simple idea of idleness and staying at home to paint or draw seems to drive people crazy. It should not.

I agree with you on some levels, this idea of ultra-productiveness is a religion. I would rather see high levels of productiveness to WORK LESS and ENJOY LIFE more. I'd love to work a 30-hour week so I can pursue other interests.

Instead, ultra-productiveness is causing a burnout loop of WORK MORE to allow more time to WORK MORE.

But this is all pointless. In the future, the amount of lazy people will be astronomical as robots and computers take over 99% of jobs.
I assume that the human deaths are related to the toxicity involved with mining rare earth metals which are part of the magnets in the turbines.
Interesting. I was under the impression that it was mostly a vendetta against Clinton, not support of Trump. I don't pay that much attention to Assange or Wikileaks to be honest, I personally find quite a lot of what they do distasteful.
its a sad state of affairs, but PT doesn't have to like or admire DT to consider his presidency the best outcome given the hand in play.
You're implying that the reboots occur at random without notification. They do not. Windows notifies you that updates were installed that require a reboot and that it will occur at off hours. If you ignore that notification then when the reboot is schedule to occur you receive another notification with the option to postpone the reboot for another amount of time.

I've had these forced reboots happen a couple times and it's disruptive but that's about it. The most disruptive was when I was working on a project and stopped for dinner then never came back and left my desktop on overnight. The next day I discovered that my computer had rebooted and was at the login prompt.

I can see how this would really suck for applications that do not respect the shutdown notification that Windows broadcasts but even the Arduino IDE dutifully saved my work.

I suspect that over time app developers will pay more attention to OS level event notifications and we'll get to a point similar to Mobile or even MacOS where apps can be halted and resumed at will. Personally that sounds like heaven.
If you're wanting to use fragment identifiers to refer to multiple sprites in a single SVG, that issue was fixed in Chrome in November of last year.[1] I'm not sure if the fix has propagated widely enough to be considered practical for production use, but it's at least a move in the right direction.

> The way virtual machines work, however, is by packaging the operating system and code together. The operating systems on the virtual machines believes that it has a server to its own, but in reality, it’s sharing the server with a bunch of other virtual machines — all of which run their own operating systems and don’t know of each other. Underneath it all is the host operating system that makes all of these guests believe they are the most important thing in the world. You can see why this is a problem. The guest virtual machines basically run on emulated servers, and that creates a lot of overhead and slows things down (but in return, you could run lots of different operating systems on the same server, too).

Wait a second. Isn't this the whole point of hardware virtualization support? So that hypervisors don't have all those VM overhead slowing things down?

As mentioned in another comment, I have all these things configured and yet twice in that past seven days Windows 10 Pro has given me the 20 minute warning, right in the middle of my working hours. To add insult to injury for some reason the "Use a custom restart time" is now disabled.

Patent US6368227 – Method of swinging on a swing
These returns are before taxes. There is no inflation discount on taxes so your real after tax returns can be negative with a 1% nominal ROI.

Further people don't really invest all their money in year X, and then take it all out in year Y. Cost dollar averaging helps returns and needing to take money out to live off of in down years hurts returns.

Finally the baseline is not the mattress strategy, it's spending all your money now and investing nothing.
While true in some areas, computers and advanced electronics was not one of those things. I don't think Soviets really ever got very good at producing integrated circuits, and even less at designing them. By mid-70s when stuff like less-than-room-sized computers and internet really began to take form, Soviets were already almost exclusively trying to keep up with western microprocessor tech with straight up clones, with the gap consistently increasing.
They faked the documents by editing their contents to remove data they didn't want released. How is that twisting your words to show that your claim they've never leaked fake documents is false?

Well, I guess he wouldn't have used gdiplus.dll if he was planning to run the app on Linux, so I'm guessing the conclusions should be:

- If you're doing multi-platform software, don't use platform specific libraries.

- If you're doing multi-platform software, test on all your target OSes.

Use any OS that makes you productive.
What app causes you issues with scrolling through multiple seasons?

A lot of apps let you select the season from some sort of "drop down" or display a list of seasons vertically and let you scroll through individual episodes horizontally within that season...
This is the eventual future.

What most people don't realize is that a large part of Docker's value is in being a generic static compiler for languages that don't have that feature.

Pretty soon you can expect raw process support in many "container" management systems, where you just provide it a linux binary which are then run in isolated cgroups and namespaces.

The AMP Cache is an option that you can opt in to. The wordpress plugin by default opts in. The author said as much.

The problem isn't that Google "steals" traffic in the sense it's going against the wishes of the site publisher, but that the author didn't know what he was buying in to and thus was surprised.

There is the other thing which is the AMP Cache is probably more local and faster than your site. Small sites usually dont use CDNs so there it is.
The author makes a good argument (and I always love reading about the nitty gritty of Apple's construction and what they not merely do, but do at incredible scale and consistency), and additionally some of the structural tradeoffs involved in ceramics may be unacceptable for general survivability in a phone-sized form factor. But even so I was surprised in his 3 option list he ignored an obvious 4th. He's correct about scaling and switchover challenges, and that at least as of right now Apple doesn't seem to have any major leaps forward in ceramic manufacturing actively deployed in a product, which in turn means iPhone-scale mass manufacturer would be incredibly expensive/difficult, even for Apple.

But that's probably part of why Apple doesn't do it in the Watch either. Instead, they have an entire lineup of Watches, and then use a very expensive, niche process only for an ultra premium skin. While I still consider it unlikely (Apple hasn't done this sort of thing in one of its main lines since the TAM in 1997), if they wanted to start the playing with an advanced material they couldn't get to scale quickly one way would be to just port the Apple Watch strategy and make it exclusive to a special high end model, ie., a ceramic "iPhone Edition" for $2-3k or whatever along with the normal color options. The 10th anniversary of the iPhone would be an occasion for that too. That strategy would have the standard advantages in terms of natural market forces: very high pricing simultaneously limits demand and ensures a large margin for R&D, handling issues, and scale out.

There are still plenty of downsides and again ZrO2 ceramics may just plain not be appropriate for the future of general Apple products regardless of manufacturing. But if they had a 10 year plan to do a major material shift in their product lines, simply reflecting reality and making the new material premium at launch then moving it down the stack seems like it'd be an option they could now pursue given that they've already gone some distance to getting the public used to the idea of differently priced "skins" on an identical internal hardware platform.

The other side of what? (Serious question - I don't understand what you're talking about.)
Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that you had blessed the general concept under discussion as having truthiness, making it inappropriate to discuss the parts of it that weren't true.

Gawker certainly were judged to have broken the law, and certainly did pursue a legal strategy that was at best unwise.

HN regularly anoints as justified activities that break the law if we find the law unjust or unwise, and typically looks pretty badly on legal authorities who impose massive disproportionate penalties on people who disrespect the legal authority.

The person who kicked off this thread asserted that this issue had "absolutely nothing to do with free speech", and that Gawker had ruined lives as a way to argue that this was not appropriate, hacker-like lawbreaking, but inappropriate, opprobrium-worthy lawbreaking.

The idea that this case had "nothing to do with free speech" is farcical in a "black is white" kind of way. It was about whether it was okay for reporters for a news organization to print a story.

The idea that it "ruined lives" runs up pretty hard against the evidence that pretty self-evidently, neither Thiel's nor Hogan's lives were ruined. Now, could we argue that perhaps they did suffer in some way for the story? Sure! Which is why I noted that the "ruined lives" thing was overheated rhetoric, rather than saying that it contains no truth of any kind.

1. Homemakers typically share and then 'inherit' their spouse's pension (if the spouse dies).

It is an issue, if you have a budget and you want a fast computer for compiling and so on. Right now I'm having a modern 4GHz i7 with 32 gigabytes of ram, a m.2 SSD and two monitors where the other is a 30" IPS. Having the fastest computer in the office is pretty nice, with a price of a macbook and monitor.

In a legal system, the accused doesn't get to negotiate the details of his interview. Assange, being the narcissistic idiot that he is, chose to imprison himself because for him, being imprisoned in an embassy at least feels a bit like a spy novel instead of just a case of him getting a bit too rapey.

And how is this supposed to be "corrupt". Are you implying a vast conspiracy were the CIA is orchestrating everyone from a random prosecutor up to the highest courts of Sweden (Not that that would even be corruption as it's traditionally defined)?
