i think we will soon be back to thin console, as you can get less than 1ms latency via fiber all you need is IO and the computation is done in the "cloud".
look at the shot of the guys walking on the bridge, I don't see how you could do something like this in conventional cinematography for only 17k, I would expect this drone or something like it to become quite useful in the film industry for night shots where 10 min flight time is definitely not a limiter
I am from Germany. Yes, to move forward with renewables we need more north-south connections, which are being built. But that concerns the further switch of the grid to renewables (currently 30%). This does not affect the charging of electrical cars - which would rather help to stabilize the grid.
JSX is actually a generic transformation of XML like structures to function calls. Since it's mostly used with React, that's the default, but you can use any function you like. It's the "pragma" option in the config for the plugin.

> Why is it then that Socialist governments which are supposedly subordinated to the individual all seem to end up in having re education camps, Gulags, forced labour or concentration camps to crack down on dissenters.

The don't actually, since Socialism does not discuss anything of that sort - it's an economic theory, not a political one.

What you're describing is authoritarianism, which is a mechanism for quickly and forcefully delivering ANY political ideology, not just socialism.

If you actually look at why i.e. Stalin and Castro did things the way they did, it was because they were afraid the "imperialists" in the West were working 24/7 to overthrow them (which they were) so they wanted to consolidate their grip on power to make that less likely to succeed.

The problem is, no-one ever left socialists alone, i.e. look at Nicaragua in the 1980s - they actually tried to implement liberal socialism. What happened? Regan sponsored the Contras to turn it into a right-wing state after his own gusto.

If there weren't constant efforts to overthrow socialists by the West, they probably wouldn't have turned to authoritarianism.

But again, authoritarianism is a forceful method to deliver a political change, just look at the number of right-wing military dictatorships in LA that used authoritarianism to deliver their will.

> Why do Socialist governments always try to get control over education to indoctrinate the next generation instead of allowing parents to raise their children however they see fit.

Because in the same way a parent does not have the right to kill their child, they should not have the right to i.e. teach their children creationism, in order to ensure a certain quality of life for all children, regardless if their parents are brainwashed or poorly educated.

> Why do Socialists always attack people who are successful for merely being successful.

They don't, but they think that perhaps you shouldn't be able to have $80 billion if the average personal wealth is $30,000 because you CERTAINLY didn't work THAT much harder than everybody else, it's mathematically impossible.

Also, Hitler was against the Jews, socialism isn't.
So Firefox is now picking winners? YouTube, Vimeo, and Pageshot get picked.

The features seem nice. The integrated to specific sites not so much. I know they say they'll add more video sites. That still means if youre not an established popular site you're basically 2nd class and your users may switch away because they can not use the feature.

That doesn't seem proper for a brower and certainly not one with Mozilla's M.O.
It's pretty disappointing to see someone of Thiel's stature do this. Distasteful choice and motives aside, it's good to remember that the tech industry has a long history of forwarding poorly thought out political initiatives while underestimating politics as its own craft with separate and largely non-transferable skills. (Tim Draper's plan to split California into six states, two rich, four poor as dirt, being a relatively recent example of something that didn't work out so well).

If Thiel had really wanted to disrupt presidential elections, he could have thrown some money and social media connections behind Evan McMullin as a way of throwing a malotov cocktail into the race. It's his money, but if it were me I would not want to be associated with someone as vulgar as Trump.
I disagree- the hardest files to deploy in a decentralized web are "long tail" files, for which there is usually very little demand on any given day (by definition) but which are extremely important to establishing a new web platform.

But I can imagine a kind of software or device that may become popular that uses/requires this, that will turn this into something that people will get too used to that may become something essential in the long run.

I tried many apps/ways and finally created my own. It is a local web app I put together inspired by Slack bots/commands.
It is like CLI on a web interface with autocomplete and suggestions. I like it because I don’t have to click many things to add, view, or delete tasks.

Example:
(/Todo-New taks name here –Project project name –Due 1/1/2016 –Tags #one #two #Three –Time 2h)

Anyways, I do track time because we bill hourly and eventually I have to move the totals for billable work from my app into our timesheet system (very clunky Microsoft Project Server).

Ask HN: How to handle a workaholic colleague?
How to handle the situation when the grown in the company (Salary raise, Bonus, Stock, Promotion ) is measured by "relative performance" and you are stuck with a workaholic team mate who keeps sending update emails at weird hours in the night . Its good for team productivity but not for general team health and peer's growth in company.

Update - I am been rated above average in the current appraisal system and quite happy with the work I do. Changing job would be resetting all the good will and trust that I have built here. But after advent of this colleague, I see everything declining as exceptions are changing, sometimes portaged as "irresponsible". I can work like donkey but I like to continue to spend tine with friends and family and follow all my hobbies unlike the peer.

I don't really want to portray my peer as bad(He is mostly nice on the face), just need honest opinion if this job is still a right fit for me.

Noms should definitely be more useful in that scenario. We have some customers who were using Git the way you describe and replaced it with Noms and have been very happy with the results.
Well no, that was exactly my point. People who are privileged and don't have anything stopping them from saving, still don't and screw themselves over.

If that's true, then people for whom it's difficult/impossible to save are completely screwed, and we need to chance something, because the odds really ARE stacked against them.
Hm? Other languages also have template systems. PHP actually started as template system. Even today it should be possible to do inline templating stuff just with PHP (although other template languages are easier to use for that purpose). Not a huge fan of PHP either, but templating is not a killer feature. Everybody has that.

You can't even present facts in a way that feels to liberals like defending Trump without facing social consequences (this is what Adams is guilty of.) I had several problems with friends explaining positions taken by both candidates during the debates and discussing the legality of what's known publicly about Trump's tax returns. Discussion of any of those topics will agglomerate the liberal view of Trump as racist, sexist, xenophobic, and stupid, and project them onto you.

Personally I think both candidates are awful, but suggesting that Trump might be right about something or Clinton might be wrong is social suicide on Facebook (for example) and I wouldn't dare discuss it at work.

Nobody has ever brought it up.

Regarding code reviews: I try to test and self-review my code thoroughly, and hope that the QA people find the bugs that I don't find. My bug rate seems to be comparable to other parts of the product that are worked on by multiple developers.

As for bus factor: if they insist on adding more people to the project, I could deal with that, but it wouldn't make me particularly happy to manage people (I've done it before, but I prefer just being a developer).
As someone who actually liked AS3 (and to a lesser extent MXML), but loathes the Flash runtime, this is kinda exciting. Can't wait to try this when it's more than just a PoC.

unfortunately mubi, Netflix, etc have really bad quality. Netflix is ahead, obviously. specially in sound. buy any fast horizontal pan scene and compression ruins everything.

mubi sometimes has sound so badly compressed i just give up watching.

also, accessibility and original sound. Netflix decides if you're going to be able to hear the original language or not. some movies have all tracks, some have only the one in the language of whichever country you're at the time. some have subtitles in the local county language. some have deaf cc subtitles. mubi has zero regard for the deaf. Netflix has zero regards for the deaf overseas, in the US it's pretty good though.

bottom line is, all the talks that Netflix et al are the answer to piracy are wrong if the user is minimally self respecting. i will stop writing now because typing on mobile in this tiny box is also bad for self respecting me.
I'm all for it but Trump isn't the guy to lead the change. He has no record of success and treats all humans terribly.

I never got why health insurance is tied to employment. Then when you switch jobs, you start a new plan and then there could be a gap where you could be uninsured. I think health insurance should be separated from employment. I think we're the only country that does it this way.
There are plenty of alternatives, but none are as financially rewarding(nor as efficient?) as the latest-greatest-soon-to-be-banned designer chemicals. Lucrative patent revenues, intervals of obsolescensed hardware & retooling/retraining/recertification is highly profitable = good for balance sheets & economic data sets. I find it telling that no chemicals are specified in the article, just the generic term "hydrofluorocarbons". Perhaps the warm fuzzy do-good feeling would be chilled by mentionng that the current approved(mandated) refrigerant R410A, the replacement to R-22, is already slated for replacement due to it's adverse effects to the environment.
There are many accusations that Trump engaged in the behavior he voluntarily described himself behaving in.

I don't think that matters though. He is already on the record encouraging (and bragging about) coercion; it is completely antithetical to libertarianism.
It's mainly so they can practice their English, or just what they're used to with most foreigners.

We are using PHP7 at stomt. We decided to use PHP for several reasons.

- First of, it is the language i have the most experience with. It would have been stupid to start with some new fancy stuff that would postpone our MVP or getting market/idea/product validation.

Apart from that...

- PHP allows you to write good code, it just does not force you to do it. Means if i need to prototype something really fast i can do so. At stomt we are really focused on writing SOLID code.

- PHP evolves great and became really fast in the last years.

- Economically it is cheaper to find PHP developers than developers in most other languages. And if you have a nice and clean software architecture in place, it is easy to also get more unexperienced developers to write good code.
Sure, lots of them. Now, many of them are still hypocrites, in that very often a model will claim to address something as a top priority, but not actually address it. (Ed: not a hypocrite to propose a model that doesn't work out; hypocrite to continue to claim it will work when errors are discovered or it can't help, even in theory.) Which is why I called Libertarians so -- they bark about externalities when their model is fundamentally about not being accountable for externalities of coercing others to obey your model.

However, the dishonesty of American Libertarians stems from something further than that. Namely, American Libertarians are neo-feudalists in practice, but won't own up to being neo-feudalists.

I find this to be dishonest: they, so far as I can tell, have done this purely because they want to advocate neo-feudalism and its benefits without having to justify the benefits in terms of the costs, so they use terminology where it's harder to find the costs in academic literature and deny that any such costs exist. Nothing different than creationism rebranding as "intelligent design" or anti-abortion as "pro-life".

Well, the senior scientists who sit in evaluation committees and on editorial boards have some control over it. In many fields, only publications in "top" journals matter. If two persons then apply for the same job or grant and one has a paper in Nature while the other has a paper in Bob's Open Journal, the committee will go with the Nature paper every time.
This is a fairly well-written post with some good ideas and some generalizations that are going to get somebody in trouble if they follow all of them, e.g.

Woah, horsey, hold on a moment!

While it's true that an abstraction can get you into trouble, that's not always true.

Over my many years I've heard a number of people say: "We have 100 copies of the same site, but slightly altered for each client, and we don't have time to go back and refactor them, we can't upgrade them, and we're three major versions behind. Want to come work for us? (Silence.)"

I've only heard one person say, "We refactored X and it bit us in the ass, because the developer didn't check when he/she was altering it and accidentally changed behavior for everything."

Yes tinder is a real word. It's material used to kindle a fire.

Silicon valley has ruined all these words.

Then again, most people don't have to start fires.
If I remember correctly, early proposals of the ES4 standard had a type system. It was later removed, but ActionScript continued down that path anyway.
> Given how cheap drives are I think upstream bandwidth for that storage will quickly eclipse the storage itself.

Which suggests a solution -- keep several of copies of everything (or copy-equivalents with erasure coding) and then download the one(s) with the cheapest/free bandwidth.

People care if you run down their battery or use up their cellular data. Not so much when the device is plugged into AC power and connected to unlimited broadband/wifi. At any given time there should be enough such devices that you don't have to make requests of any of the expensive ones.

Add to that the ability of people who don't want to worry about it (and don't want anyone they know to worry about it) to lay out a few hundred bucks once for a 10TB NAS and leave it connected to their broadband connection, and it feels like an actual solution.
I agree with everything ruler88 wrote, but want to expound on it. Look at the type of role you would like to be in 5,10,15 years down the road, do most of the people in those roles have MScs? If so, definitely get it. If not, figure out what the MSc will get you.

Everyone will tell you that an MSc will not get you more money. This is technically true. However, if it gets you into a career that you love, it probably will get you more money, because you'll do a good job (all things being equal).
Actually a truck ramming would cause much less damage to most substations. Usually they have decent fences and a bunch of steel and concrete structures around the transformers which would make ramming pretty difficult.

The shooting attacks were so destructive because punching holes in transformers allowed coolant to leak out, forcing those transformers to shut down. Repairing such damage is a lengthy and expensive process. Substation transformers are large, heavy, and complex; you can't fix the damage just by slapping on a quick patch. And buying a replacement takes months.
Face Control is about your face and it does differ from Dress Code.

Clubs that only enforce Dress Code will prohibit you from entering only if your clothes don't match the requirements.

Those clubs with Face Control will prohibit your entrance for whatever reason they want. Usually it's just an extortion (левак) and you have to bribe your way in (дать на лапу). Although sometimes, it's about the gender ratio or your sexual preferences. Clubs have to make sure that the party doesn't turn into a sausage party and keep away people who can cause problems.

Левак = money made on the left (on the side). Most likely illegal or against company's policy

Дать на лапу = to give (money) to someone's paw (hand)
For pure language understanding, learn enough so you can start reading in that language. Then read. It's a great way for knowledge deepening and upkeep.

For pronunciation and accent there's probably nothing better than spending time with native speakers. In that scenario, don't stunt yourself by being afraid of making mistakes. People will understand.
