It's important because while income and class are correlated they aren't the same thing; a young member of the middle class will often have income less than someone well into a working class career.

And Clinton supporters in the general election tend to be much younger than Trump supporters. ("Bernie voters" in the primary are, overwhelmingly, Clinton supporters in the general.)
Yes. The core of the backend is still in Common Lisp (and C++). Many ITA hackers are still contributing to the Common Lisp community :)
>On the other, there is a legitimate question about nations and foreign actors meddling in a sovereign state's electoral process, and the precedent that sets regarding international norms and established codes of conduct.

unless it happens to be of benefit of the candidate you support, of course. then it's all hunky-dory.

of course I'm just kidding. however, there are people that feel this way, and these folks definitely see the issue in black and white.

Yes.

> On the other, there is a legitimate question about nations and foreign actors meddling in a sovereign state's electoral process, and the precedent that sets regarding international norms and established codes of conduct.

I don't think there is. What if Russia or China or Germany issued a statement expressing their point of view that influenced the election.

Do you see that as okay?

Russia and China are under no obligation to keep the citizens of the US ignorant of things that candidates for the Presidency of the US would prefer them to be ignorant about. Also, the US has never shown any hesitation in leaking information, commenting on or directly funding candidates or movements that it preferred in either country.
Interesting. I didn't realize the UN Security Council had passed such a resolution. Thanks.

I'm still not clear that this applies since our enemies do not meet the requirements outlined beyond being signatories (what with insignia and organized ranks etc). Article 3 also refers to conflicts not of an international nature. I'm not sure how that's interpreted. Is that civil wars? Or just wars involving non-state actors? The "war on terror" certainly has an international character.
To suggest an explanation myself, voting where majority vote win has a different result that voting where highest ranking wins. When there is extreme high and extreme low opinion about choices, there is commonly a third option which is rated higher in average.

Say I rated taco, pizza and Italian salad as 10, 8, and 2, and you rated them as 2, 8, and 10, we can easily see that pizza wins even if neither of us has it as our primary pick. pizza in this case has highest opinion rating while the other two choices are quite far behind.
United gained a fleet of long-range 757s from the merger with Continental Airlines. These are smaller planes (but ETOPS certified) with smaller crews, which is good for United's bottom line.

757s can make it across the Atlantic, as long as conditions are good and there are easy winds.

On the westbound return flights, and this happens more than United will care to admit, the headwinds can be too strong and the flight needs to refuel in Goose Bay before continuing to the United States.

This typically adds an unexpected 90 minutes to the flight, which can really screw you up if you're trying to clear immigration and make your connecting flight. You usually don't learn of this fate until you arrive at the terminal for boarding.
Is there an easy way to use a non-ICANN sanctioned tld? I kinda like the idea of my own whole tld, even if it takes some work to access it. Is there a browser extension or something that lets me add custom registries?
I thought the same, but according to the article the Bison was actually named as sort of tongue-in-cheek reference to the particle.

Like what people are saying about mindfulness. Ideally, we can notice ourselves drift and self-correct at that moment.

It's strange that the experts think this is so difficult when there's been so much reporting on this capability in the past.

I mean, I think it's extraordinarily difficult, but governments have thrown a ton of money at the problem. :-(
Seems like an unnecessary inflammatory headline?

>If you want, you can still get in touch with us via IRC. We built a bridge from IRC to Slack so you can continue hanging out in #creativecommons on Freenode if that’s where you feel most comfortable. We’ll also continue to monitor the IRC channels for those who come looking for support.
I wasn't meaning to slight either Amadeus or Sabre, and indeed they have most of the other half of the people who understand this stuff between them. The others are at various airlines around the world and at ATPCO.

I've written elsewhere that I personally think the original Sabre system was/is one of the most impressive accomplishments in the history of computing. Using modern tools made things easier for us at ITA, though we compensated for that by trying to compute the entire (very large) solution space for every query, where prior systems used heuristics.
I think the most astonishing thing to me about the Rust language project is not the language it self (sure it's innovative but there's also still a lot of work to be done to make it get out of your way). It's the speed and tenacity with which the project has managed to push development of the supporting tooling. The development tools surrounding a language can often be more important for productivity than the language itself, and it feels like the Rust team and community really get that.
To loosely paraphrase Marx, capitalism tends to destroy itself while self-perpetuating. SV did, and still does, perform a certain benefit in making goods and services flow. It's also a very attractive power center for our generation.

The hope we should all have is that disruption does, in fact, prevail and keep any one tech monopoly in check with a new "up-and-comer" always over the horizon; that the government does not become entirely captured by business, can exert the interests of the public and effect a compromise; and that presently marginalized voices - on any issue, from identity to climate to existential threat - are heard and their concerns addressed through the process.

Are you really implying that Chomsky doesn't have an agenda? He's more famous for his political nonsense, e.g. being a far-lefty who supports people like Castro and Chavez, than his actually (very good) linguistics research.
We don't need term limits for people. People come with built in term limits of one form or another. What we need are term limits for laws. Absolute Sunset should be built into the constitution and every law, regulation, charter, advisory, authorization, order, or any other kind of governmental rule should be subject to it. At regular intervals we should require our elected representatives to explicitly affirm, without debate, the existing laws. void all the ones that don't get reaffirmed at the end of the session. That way we'll always know whether the politicians can be trusted to make the right choices and also it will put a limit on how complex government can be.
We support downloadable static premium price lists too (it's all that some registrars can handle), but yes, obviously we prefer the price extension too. Here's the entry point into the static premium pricing lists if you're curious: https://github.com/google/nomulus/blob/master/java/google/re...

Said lists are imported into the system from the CSV file format that is given to registrars by this command-line tool: https://github.com/google/nomulus/blob/master/java/google/re...

By the way, can I just say as an aside, that it's so awesome that I can finally link to and discuss our code in the open (I wrote this pricing stuff under stuff).
Add to that , journalists may get fired but dont go to jail for spreading lies.
Why is that exactly?
Class is a set of wealth and income categories (or is in the US anyways, I can't speak for other countries). I'm not sure why you claim they're "correlated". They're literally the same thing.
I don't think people would be telling them not to work; more they'd be telling their bosses not to be such cheap asses.

So…exactly like IRC?
The argument isn't that using knowledge and skill gained working at DOJ/SEC in private industry is bad. The argument is that while working at DOJ/SEC you go soft on your adversaries because you know you'll need them to hire you at some point.
If you let users change passwords, they'll forget them, and call support. So you don't let them. DDoS doesn't generate support requests.
I'm not comfortable with asserting that the people sitting in Gitmo are all combatants since we know that we've gotten that determination wrong multiple times and we're not giving them trials. The blind assertion that they are enemy combatants rings hollow.

Even if we are legally right to run Gitmo the way we do, I think it is still morally wrong. You can call that trolling if you want, but locking people up indefinitely with no proof of criminal or even combat activity and no path to resolution is immoral.
What about git? It also heavily uses SHA1
Am I defending he used Sarin? Hell yes. That's already disproved.

Am I defending he may have killed civilians while bombing rebels? Well, not defending, but putting in perspective, since we kill civilians almost daily.

Am I saying that you have been lied to by an administration that destroyed Libya and wants nothing more than to do the same to Syria? Yes, I am.
I don't think there is. What if Russia or China or Germany issued a statement of their point of view that influenced the election.

Do you see that as okay?

I don't view it as equivalent.

It's kinda like the difference between marketing and corporate espionage.

On the one hand, we have a sovereign nation stating a position.

On the other, we have a (potentially hidden) sovereign nation exposing the communications of others.

The difference is in the (supposed) attribution of the communication. In the former case people will recognize it as naked politics and ignore it. In the latter, the level of trust in the information goes up since it's (supposedly) attributable to someone from the nation being manipulated, which to me is far more likely to sway people's opinions and effect the kind of manipulation being sought.

Anyway, we can clearly agree to disagree on this one, as fundamentally it's a matter of personal values. Speaking for myself, I would generally prefer that nation states leave domestic politics of other nations alone (and yes, that's a general statement that applies to every nation).

Which I suppose is pretty easy to say until there's a totalitarian regime committing genocide or something...

Like I say, not black and white. :)

Show HN: CanaryClip: A new way to share Minecraft Builds Online
Killed civilians as collateral damage, while tragic, and something that we should work to reduce and minimize, is in no way equivalent to targeting civilians. Following your logic, manslaughter should not be a distinct crime from murder.
Hi HN,

This has been a project I've been working off and on the last few years. I've gotten the plugin and some of the website done in the past, but there wasn't a good way to visualize Minecraft builds for the internet until Chunky Renderer (http://chunky.llbit.se/). Once I discovered Chunky, I was able to make huge progress on my project, and just recently got it to a point I think people can use it.

I would love some advice about how to spread the news about my website. It's been a challenge on how to spread the word to Minecraft admins, and I think I built something they would really enjoy. If you would like to try it on your server, let me know if you would like some help!

Thanks!

Here's a quick overview of the site:

CanaryClip is a Minecraft mod built on top of WorldEdit. It allows you to upload and download builds to/from CanaryClip.com without leaving Minecraft.

Did you build something amazing in Minecraft? Share it on CanaryClip!

CanaryClip is a new way to share your Minecraft builds online. Your friends will be able to see everything about your build including:

* Automatically rendered images
* Your Build’s dimensions
* Minecraft blocks used in the build
* How many people viewed, favorited, and downloaded your build
* The Minecraft server was the build uploaded from

In addition to all this, every build is automatically given a download short code where other people can easily download the build to any Minecraft server running CanaryClip.

If you’ve ever used WorldEdit, you’ll be uploading your builds in no time!

To Upload your build:

1. Build something amazing!
2. Select your build using WorldEdit (`//wand`)
3. Use `//copy` to copy the blocks to your clipboard
4. Use `//can up` to upload the build to CanaryClip (You will be given a shortcode after uploading your build. The build will be immediately available for others to download, but may take a few minutes to show up on the website while the build is rendered)

To Download a build:

1. Find something awesome from CanaryClip, such as http://canaryclip.com/builds/bRjMZDy
2. Use the command `//can down bRjMZDy` to download to your clipboard
3. Use `//paste` to paste into the Minecraft world

You can also follow CanaryClip on Twitter @CanaryClip (https://twitter.com/canaryclip).

IMPORTANT The CanaryClip mod will not work on your server unless you register your server with CanaryClip. Add CanaryClip To Your Minecraft Server
Proposal: turn Twitter into a user-owned co-op
As the previous posters have stated, it's complicated.

If Assad's regime falls, the Al-Queda and ISIS affiliated groups move in. I'm not sure America wants that. Do we want that? Hard to say!

Saudi Arabia supports the Assad regime falling because the Assad regime is not Sunni.

If we set up a no fly zone in Syria, we are then in direct conflict with Russia's forces. It's no longer a proxy war.

I hope there's a way to be against US intervention in Syria(if only because of grim realpolitik reasons) and simultaneously not defend Assad.

I fully recognize that the Assad regime is terrible(I can pummel you with New Yorker articles). I don't quite believe the Assad people used poison gas, I think the jury is still out on that.
If you're saying that the problem is influencing someone else's election, then it is equivalent. If you're saying that the problem is hacks and leaks, I don't know how your problem with that isn't general, but only confined to foreign actors, and only now, with this election. Assange was always a foreign actor except when he was leaking about Australians.

And it still needs to be said, there's no proof that the Russian state is involved. This is a cynical deflection to keep us from talking about the content of the leaks; one that prefers to escalate tensions with a nuclear power to acknowledging the truth about what some people have said when they thought no one else would hear.
That's why we have election rules attempting to restrict money influence in the system for BOTH sides, or at least to make it a level playing field.

Targeting people's personal money just because their view is an oppression. It is an easy slippery slope to go down. Income/money/work enable them to express their view. What's next? Their home certainly enable them to express their view. How about their food?

If you want to take money out of politics, work on campaign finance reform. And enforce existing laws to stamp out any violation.
You don't have much history in git at the moment.
In principle there's no reason you couldn't. We support an extendable DNS interface, so if you were to integrate that with the DNS system running a local or corporate network, and your DNS provider in your OS set up to use that, it should work. I don't think you'd even need a browser extension. It's one potential use case we've thought of before, but haven't done any specific work towards implementing, so there might be some gotchas or adjustments required in areas where we make certain assumptions that all entities managed by the system resolve at the top level of the Internet.

If anyone does work on something like this, please let me know. I'd be very interested to see the parts in action.
Wanted to share, in case someone hasn't heard/seen this show on HBO. I thought it was fantastic, and it touches on AI.
Hello! Interesting thing, but did you have production experience with it?
Doing it a better way is hard
No, the point is false negatives don't invalidate a test. It requires both intelligence and communication abilities.

Cost and accuracy are obvious trade-offs, but sometimes you are willing to trade say cost and false positives to avoid false negatives say, a mass screening for HIV in a blood sample. In that case you need a cheap test and while a false positive has minimal cost a false negative could be deadly.

Highering is the opposite case. Micdonalds want's a cheap test (interview + background) and as long they get enough acceptable low level candidate from their pool that's enough.

As such the turing test can fit the second example. A hypothetical AI could hold a huge range of real jobs even if limited to purely text based communications.

PS: Let's flip it. A super intelligent AI in a box that can't communicate in any form. Without IO it's indistinguishable from a space heater.
The "unit testing" of that standard (https://s3.amazonaws.com/akitaonrails/files/std1008-1987.pdf) is a process that is quite a bit heavier than what we now understand unit testing to be.

In particular, it assumes the existence of detailed requirements documentation, and requires excessive documentation on tests and their results.

One thing that makes it an evolutionary step towards modern unit testing is that it explicitly states that developers may do the unit testing.
Or maybe you come down hard on whistleblowers that anger your future clients.
I think that's a side effect of making a welcoming community a priority. The Rust Language Server grew out of feedback from the Rust Language Survey, in which many people responded that they wanted good IDE support.

That isn't a glamorous task to work on, especially if you're already comfortable with the level of editor support you have, but it helps bring more people into the community, which has a multiplicative effect.
Energy storage is eligible for the 30% tax credit the same as a solar panel install on your roof. So knock 30% off the total install cost ($4500 total - 30% = $3150).
Right, it doesn't count as doing anything about the electoral system.

There are ways to do things about the electoral system, both within the parameters of partisan politics and outside of them (at least, in the latter case, in the states with direct citizen initiative.)

Yes, I am.

Chomsky publishes his research and backs his arguments with innumerable facts, the man is practically a walking encyclopedia of US foreign policy, human rights violations and hypocrisy over the last 100 years.

The difference between an academic and someone with an 'agenda' is that one is interested in the truth and publishes cited analyses, the other is only motivated to impress a particular opinion.

Chomsky is voted by the global community of academics as a valued member of that community. Against that shadow, your assertions are valueless.
The standard counter to Soylent criticism though is that it's just an alternative to other quick meals on the go. Personally, I do often make smoothies in the morning and have never had a Soylent so I'm not going to argue against more natural is healthier--even if I'm not going to try to substantiate that general preference scientifically.

But yes. Their broader business plan and certainly what gets the press seems to be Soylent as broader meal replacement. If this were just another "nutritional drink on the go" absolutely no one would care.
Whenever I compared prices, SkyScanner hasn't been cheaper than Google Flights for me (domestic flights in the US and flights to Europe) and their website is much, much slower than Google Flights. Do you remember what kind of flights were cheaper?
> To argue that he's remotely as experienced as Hilary Clinton is simply disingenuous.

No-one is saying that. I just said that he's not "very limited".

> Trump is being skewered about this on every channel, on every website. What more do you want? ... my expectations are lower for Trump because ... realize there's a difference between "expectation" and "acceptance"

The fact that despite all his mess, he is still a serious contender in the competition, and that means plenty of people are forgiving him and accepting him, despite the media coverage, and regardless of your personal opinion. It's actually a pretty shameful indictment on the American public, that so many of them support such a candidate.
No, it's not. Income is often used as a proxy for class, but it's not the same thing.
> I dont understand why everyone is so caught up with answering emails on vacation

I'm 35, been working since I was 21, but still get a little (sometimes more) anxious each morning when coming to work and thinking that I have to open my email.

> 5/10 minutes of email's in the morning means Europeans have a better work/life balance ?

It's not "5/10" minutes. It's one or two hours before the fact, thinking "should I check my email? no, I'm sure everything is ok back at work", then another 2 or 3 hours after you actually checked your email, thinking at what you have just read and possibly replied. So, there goes half of your vacation day thinking and stressing about work.
