Valid points, though I would consider the requirements for writing really secure software quite high, so I do not think most open source projects could meet such standards. Maybe it could be compared to developing mission critical software, like Nasa for example. The amount of resources and rigor they use to get bugs out of the code is out of the scope of most free/donation software projects. There are probably a few open source projects which gets close to being considered secure though, mostly those which are very used and backed by big companies or foundations.

So we have Veracrypt as the 'good enough' option right now and ease of use, but you shouldn't happen to know any secure alternatives? You seem to know a bit about this.
Assange is anti-power, and likely feels Trump is not a serious challenger, so there is more to be won from hurting Clinton. It's not really an anti-Hillary bias.
>I've never known any 'pro' to use anything other than Nikon, Canon, and Sony. But I know plenty of amateur's who use Fuji.

How many do you know? Pros range from portrait and wedding photographers, to travel photographers, photojournalists, sports photographers, product photographers, professional fine arts photographers, etc.

Sports photographers and journalists did switch to Canon at some point because of the faster/more automated autofocus system, but they bounced back to Nikon circa the D3, and people use stuff all over the map now.

And of course back in the film days (pre 2000-2005) tons of pros used Minolta, Leica, Olympus, Pentax and other brands, and lots of them kept their brand loyalty.

Also most really well paid pros in fashion and product photography used medium formats such as Hasselblad. And with news and wedding photographers transitioning to video, lately Canon (which started promisingly) and Nikon have been seen as big jokes compared to Sony and even Panasonic.

Here's a Fuji guy:

Assange has been scheduled to be interrogated by Sweden today (October 17th) since at least mid-September [1]. Both the internet outage and the pre-commitments are likely related to that.

your argument boils down to "don't throw your vote away".

well, when the system is this broken, the only throw away vote is a vote for either Clinton or Trump, because it validates the system.

you are right that my idealistic attitude might end up getting Trump elected. but that's the kind of attitude that makes clinton the alternative.
>Well, what's consumerism to one isn't to another.

Yes, it's entirely possible.

Not to mention that NYU spends literally hundreds of millions of dollars on financial aid every year. Hardly "almost no financial aid."
You're undervaluing time spent locked up.
What do you mean he didn't know about it? He's a banking exec whistleblowing on tax evasion. The IRS bounty on recoveries is not exactly a secret. Even in the unlikely event that he himself wasn't aware of his prospects when he went in, you'd assume literally the very first thing any competent lawyer would have told him was "you stand to make a hundred million dollars if you go through with it".

The thing I like about the precedent? That banking executives need to be on their toes because all of their colleagues have an immense incentive to rat them out.
I think there is some good Scala documentation.

By core values of the Scala community I refer to trying to create idiomatic ways of solving problems, and trying to get the most out of the language. One evidence of this is the amount of domain specific languages created in Scala.

Twitter's Scala school was a good resource for me, the official tutorial by Odersky in Coursera is a good starting point too. You can also watch Scala talks in YouTube, to supplement documentation reading.
Moldbug believes that white people are the intellectual superiors of black people. That's supremacy. It's on his blog and in the medium post you linked. He isn't fooling anybody with his explanation of how that belief isn't racist or supremacist.

I don't believe this. Far more likely is that like almost every software project in history they underestimated the time to finish and finish well.

And a small team means far fewer testers so that exacerbates the problem.
It doesn't matter what I think, it matters what can be supported by evidence, and your emotional narrative aside, the number of bugs found in a piece of software does not indicate there are more bugs to be found.

You did make the argument I presented above, even if you didn't mean to. It is not a type error, it is a conclusion that you're trying to imply but don't want to directly state because it's indefensible, and you know it.

There is not such a thing as a bug "hit rate" because it would require knowledge of unknown bugs, which isn't possible.

To be abundantly clear, I find your emotional narrative entirely unhelpful to this conversation, but to illustrate how unhelpful, I will play along:

UltraCrypt clearly wasn't audited correctly, and will have more bugs in it given the complexity of the problem space and the lack of issues found. SuperCrypt was clearly audited well and will therefore have fewer bugs if Charles continued looking and when Alice looks next week.

This, I repeat, is wholly unhelpful, because the same information can be used to create arguments for either point, and is therefore not useful.
It's surprising to me that you would describe the field of statistics as a separate 'sociological artifact', but then refer to the actual definition of the term when using the abbreviated word 'stats', as in your sentence ' I have no stats to back up this claim'.

Statistics are tallied numbers and represent actual measured values. The field of statistics is concerned with tallied numbers collected, probability is concerned with the likelihood of those numbers being produced under specific assumptions, and machine learning is a process that uses statistics to verify and adjust the probability model being used for study.

Those are all definitions used by mathematicians and statisticians (who are a subset of mathematicians), not 'sociological artifacts'. Things don't sound like heresy to a statistician unless he is arguing implicit versus explicit logic. That is regardless of how it feels when he walk into his department.

There is no need to prescribe artifacts' if we can just keep the correct definitions clear and not conflate them.

Trump's corruption and naked greed is overt and out-in-the-open. He's even proud of it.

Clinton's happens in secret and is masked by insincerity, lies, etc.

I think there's a brain glitch at play here -- corruption in the style of Clinton feels more corrupt because it's secretive, even if the out-in-the-open corruption is just as bad or worse.

Interesting. Do you remember what distro?
If it makes you feel any better, there are many of us that would like to see both Trump and B. Clinton in a court room.

The strategic nature of information dispersal is not lost on people and it's disgusting.

If you accept the accusers claims from both sides (as I am inclined to do in cases of sexual harassment), we have one nominee that is a self reported serial sexual predator and another who is an attacker of victims of her serial sexual predator spouse.

There's no moral high-ground here.
This. An extremely important thing to understand about the American political system, and also the exact reason why the Trump campaign is failing (the belief that the Republican party is a single ideological force and not a coalition of different interests).
Clojure CLR from Scratch – Part 0 (Why Clojure?)
The politico guy being a self-confessed hack just reeks of the same problems we would expect to arise from a chaotic system driven by short term interests. The notion that the media is cooperating with Clinton's campaign in order to make her win is contraindicated by the attention they paid to the Benghazi hearings and the email server. The Access Hollywood video simply emerged after those things stopped being news. They've taken priority over Podesta's emails because a) sex, and b) if you're not already a Trump supporter or a Bernie-or-Buster, they're mostly a nothing-burger.

> Less wars abroad and de-escalation of tensions with Russia.

Pretty certain Trump called for US troops to be used in both Syria and Libya. He's also called for an escalation of bombing of ISIS, and supported torture. And he's made intemperate remarks about reacting to provocation - Russian planes shot down for flying over US ships, Iranian ships shot at if the crew make rude gestures. I would say it's at least arguable to say there will be fewer wars under Trump. Personally I find it quite difficult to follow that line of argument. I'd expect Clinton to be more hawkish than Obama, but Obama has been one of the US Presidents most keen on diplomacy and de-escalation for decades.
> Clojure is great, but the more natural progression is from Java to Scala, not to Clojure, if only because you can program in Scala as if it were Java++.

The problem is that I can program Java as Java++.

Java 1.8 still has its warts, but are they worth the shift to Scala? Maybe? But it would really have to be a compelling reason.

For example, people still often don't know about java.util.concurrent. 99% of their concurrency problems could be solved simply by grabbing the correct data structure out of there.

If they can't be bother to know something as easy as that, what real hope do I have of them really using Scala well?

There is a common misunderstanding about free speech. Free speech means that your are not prosecuted for what you say (or - in this case - what you support). However, free speech does not mean "free from any consequences at all". Other people are still entitled to react on your expression of opinion. So Pao's reaction is not at all in conflict with the right of free speech.

I think you should raise the issue to the team (most likely they feel the same as you) and in a meeting raise the issue to him as well.

However, if this is going for a long time, then it's just bad management.

I recall that I was working on a project and was hooked, I mentioned in the meeting that I'm planning to do some extra work while on vacation. My lead engineer specifically told me absolutely NOT to do so and he went as far as assigning the task to another engineer while I was gone, mostly to avoid having me do any progress. He knew that I was killing my self trying to show off my work and was trying to protect me (from myself). I admire him deeply for his conduct, he set a great example.

Just when you talk to the guy who's doing such damage or to other guys, be away that might be feeling that he needs to prove himself. I might be wrong of course as each one has a different personality.

>Sweden has hunted Assange for 6 years for the 'crime' of being promiscuous with the wrong women. Oh, and he did not use a condom, but the 'rape victim' still did not mind having dinner with him afterwards... Given the fact that they'd had intercourse several times before during the same night I don't the claim would stick.

I mean OP put both crime and rape victim in scare quotes and their first argument as to why is she "still did not mind having dinner with him afterwards." They then say that they don't think the claims would stick because "they'd had intercourse several times before during the same night". I'm not sure how to take those statements any other way. Am I missing something here?
Interesting observation! I'm not disagreeing with you as I don't know what is the best approach to education is. However, with my nephews, they need to learn accuracy before they get to higher level thinking. Accuracy and speed is the foundation. When their dad reviews their homework, the excuse the nephews most often give is "but it's just a simple mistake". Too many of these simple mistakes.
That's a pretty bad strategy though. Even if you were tweeting coupons for your store you'd want to space the tweets out to get more attention.

Also, think of the political dynamic. There isn't much difference between one huge scandal and ten - there's still only so much airtime. Anything leaked as a unit can be responded to as a unit.

Anyone could anonymously create a torrent and paste it in some related thread, the important thing, and why people go to Wikileaks, is getting it read faster than "they" can delete it.

I've not heard anywhere that they were leaked, which suggests a disgruntled insider. The US government claims that they were hacked, and apparently that information was communicate to both Trump and Clinton in their national security briefings.

you can't lie to the FBI if you are not formally interrogated by them

This doesn't seem right at all. Whether they're recording the interview or not, you can say something that's false and material, and even if it doesn't actually mislead (because the agents know the truth of the matter), I believe you can be prosecuted under 18 USC 1001[1].

Those numbers probably vastly inflated (The FCC defines access only by zip-code, and there were many zipcodes with just a few homes given access to broadband to game the numbers for many years), and "Access" is not the same as "having" to many, especially as services that take advantage of gigabit have not yet become available, in a chicken->egg problem.

There's an interesting condundrum - I want my parents to have instant access to a variety of photos and videos that I produce, and for a while it looked like fiber networks were going to be the way - I'd host a home fileserver, and they'd be able to stream whatever they wanted to me from there. But my home internet speeds have actually gone down over the years - Was on a 100mbit connection, and now the plan is '50/50' that rarely achieves more than 10 up.

The cloud has become the distribution network, and it makes a lot of sense in many ways - It also works as a handy backup mechanism, and I trust 'cloud' services to keep good copies of my data more than I trust the second hard-drive I used to keep around.

So I've spent some time trying to get an existing asp.net 4.5/4.6 application to work on Windows Containers using docker, running under Linux in a VM.

I'm wondering why a Nano Server plus additional libraries could not host a complete asp.net 4.6 runtime, possibly leaving out components that need the GDI.
