"Basically all of the allegations have been proven by the wikileaks email releases."

Hmm. Interesting. What allegations do you think were proven? I was under the (mistaken?) impression that they mostly proved things that seem bad, nothing that was specifically criminal. It's not like we didn't know the details of the whole email situation beforehand.

Also, thought experiment - how would you react if Hillary Clinton were to say that she would appoint a special prosecutor to jail Trump for sexual harassment?

Edit: BTW, afaik, the democrats' allegations in 2000 came after the results of the election. They didn't repeatedly claim ahead of time that the election was rigged. Not sure if this is a huge difference, just putting it out there.
Odd. But of course it was the year that Ross Perot ran.

It's essentially an arms-race. For every anti-debugging or obfuscation technique there's a reverse engineer who is willing to do hard work to overcome it. It becomes a kind of psychological warfare-- trying to wear-down the reverse enginner to make the give up.

And if the religion condones crimes against humanity?

All we'd have to do is ask:

What do you think should be done with homosexuals?

What do you think should be done with Israel?

and we'd get more than enough information to keep 90% of a certain religion out of here, without directly doing that.
That's a good point. It's funny how 'Silicon Valley' and 'Wall Street' have connotations such that the poor schmuck at the bottom of the totem pole gets caught in the net.

It should be thought of more like 'White House' or 'Brussels', i.e. powercenters, which I think is what the labels may have originally tried to do.

The hash algorithm of a root certificate does not matter, because you explicitly trust the root certificate, and it is only signed by itself.

Their intermediates and end-entity certificates should be updated, but still, the attacks PKIs are concerned about on SHA1 (a preimage attack) can only happen during issuance.

However, if a second preimage attack on SHA1 were viable, all of the above would be invalid, and SHA1 would be permanently weakened for all digital signature uses.

What is the difference? Shouldn't we strive for the most free speech possible. The first amendment of the constitution of the United States of America states as follows: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The government protects free speech in all its forms, including the horrible vile that comes out of Trump. Why can't us informed citizens respect other people's point of view and defeat it with facts, reasoning and logic. When we shut off members of a society because we disagree with them, we are pushing them to the extreme, leaving them isolated and creating more horrible monsters. A democratic and free society must tolerate all opinions to actually be free and not be run by a certain group that prohibits certain types of speech.

React is what 3-4yo now... given Redux is less than 2 years, and there was a LOT of churn on flux-like frameworks. But React + Redux will likely not go anywhere for the next 5+ years, it's already pretty well distilled. Similar tooling and alternatives will still be present, but this happens in any vibrant ecosystem. There was a similar burst in the alt.Net space before ASP.Net MVC and razor came out... even then there has been alternatives introduced.

You're not talking about a single application and platform. You're talking about the most flexible set of cross platform rendering engines ever created. How many UI toolkits are there for Windows, Linux and macOS for native apps, now add Android and iOS... The browser targets all of them, and the base app toolkits pretty much target them all, and still being more flexible and capable than what came before. Expand this to the number of tools available. How could this be anything but echoed in the JS sphere.

Given the shear breadth of Web development alone, let alone server-side, IoT, Desktop, embedded, mobile and who knows where else, how can there be anything but a lot of options and diversity.
Sorry, I still disagree. As an alternate example, if I heard that a business partner had decided to stop doing business with another business partner because of disagreeing with their politics, that would play very differently in the press than a boss deciding to fire an employee for same.
Thiel is not supportung Trump because of Trump's racism and sexism. He is supporting Trump because of his policies and disruptive capacity. This is the difference between supporting a candidate and attributing everything a candidate does to the supporter.

Hillary Clinton is a war criminal by many standards. Should all Clinton supporters sever ties with YC?
I don't think 'employees' should be fired on the basis of who they support. But Thiel is an extremely powerful and wealthy businessman, who, let's not forget, put a news organization out of business because he didn't like their reporting.
There are a few hundred primary law makers, a few thousand if you count their aides, and a few tens of thousands if you count the bureaucrats involved. There are hundreds of millions of people living under their rule.

They can't do this without the consent of the governed. You give consent when you vote for a politician who has supported this form of government because they're a member of your party, or running against the party you hate. You give consent when you quietly accept this, or ignore this. You give consent when you vote for the lesser evil, since you are still voting for evil.

Don't vote for the establishment, it's proven to be untrustworthy, irrespective of party. Write your representatives about this, pay attention to who you vote for at every level. Secret law is a huge step towards despotism, so basically, don't vote for anyone who has supported it in any way. This may mean you don't cast a vote for anyone depending on where you live.
Thanks for the thought out reply, that makes the most sense.

I'm not saying shorting bonds/oil is like being long the market. I just picked a set of underlying assets that are much less correlated than e.g. S&P & Nasdaq. The directional choice (long/short) is really a choice of the investor. Correlations between products are not stable over time, so picking one vs the other is similar to a price bet (i.e. normally distributed). The main point is that the underlying assets are not highly correlated, and that they have liquid derivatives markets that can be used to reduce cost basis.

You may or may not make money on your directional choices, but the core strategy is to be short option premium to make your expected value positive, and to have low internal correlation amongst your assets to reduce volatility in your portfolio.

I'm not 100% sure I understand what you're trying to say re: upward bias/downward bias. However, buying options do have a negative expected value so I agree about that. Selling options is the strategy, and conceptually is similar to selling insurance. Limited profitability, positive expected value. Just like an insurance company, you keep your risk diversified to reduce volatility and keep positions small enough to prevent busting out during drawdowns.

I'm not suggesting buying options (except as part of a spread)

It's a Google Cache because Todd & Claire were subsequently delisted from the UN Global Compact program [1] and their report was removed.

I can't speak to their particular reputation or the veracity of the conduct in the police report, but they seem to be standing by their police report. You can view a copy of it on their official Facebook site account [2] as well as a followup on their website [3]. Unprofessional and goes off the rails IMO but they're sticking to their story.

As for my own post, I'm not making claims on my own and I have no particular reason to regard Todd & Claire's claims as factually untrue. Not proven either, but my posts certainly don't rise to the factual standard of libel ("knowing/reckless disregard of the truth"/"provable malice").

I remember the first time I read about the hardware-based debugging functionality in the 80386 and being in awe.

It seemed like it was just short of an in-circuit emulator and so very, very cool.
i read another article mentioning that one of the main consequences of this is the lack of quality local news and political coverage, which is still something only local newspapers can provide. there is plenty of online coverage about the latest stupid thing trump said or far off world events, not so much coverage of local politicians and things in your community that actually could affect you.

Your analogy about the poisoned well is good, but I think what you're missing is that, I believe, the OP's point is that merely treating people with mental disorders is not the right solution. In your well example, if you have a poisoned well making everyone sick, the solution is NOT to treat everyone for poisoning, and continue drinking the water! Instead, you find a new well, or figure out how to un-poison the well (obviously, in the meantime you treat the people currently poisoned, but first and foremost you don't keep drinking poisoned water). Similarly here, the solution is not to keep going with our current broken society, but to fix the society so that people aren't being made mentally ill by it.
> thought that scrypt would prevent ASIC miners,

I'm still amazed that people believed that.

We've been pushing general purpose CPU's for decades because there is nothing novel or hard about making single purpose processors.

I didn't realize you could just say random computing terms and people would believe you. "This is memory hard so therefore no ASIC (single purpose processor) could be made because memory is expensive"

I like cryptocurrency but 2012-2014 was seriously like being on crazy pills listening to the fans.

I am 100% in favor of Sam Altman's decision for the following reasons: 1. Trump is offensive, racist, sexist and a terrible human being all around. I am Mexican, and I hate his guts and everything about him. However, I believe in what Voltaire once smartly said "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". I do not agree at all with Peter Thiel's decision to support Trump in the RNC or with money, but I defend his right to express himself. 2. Sam Altman and Paul Graham have done a lot to defeat Trump and elect Hillary as president. One of their part time partners supports Trump, that is not indicative of YC's political view. 3. Peter Thiel is a business man, and investor therefore that is what I focus on, his book which is fantastic and his work on facebook, can't judge him unfairly on everything, just because he supports Trump. He has a brilliant business mind and that is why he is a part time partner at YC and that is in the arena he should be judged.
I am strongly in favor of free speech. Peter should be scrutinized and debated, not fired. Sam Altman does not deserve any nonsense because of this.
This is really cool. I might use this sort of stack for building my ideal, 2-player, deep collaboration app.

>> At no point during that parties history was it ever 'left-wing'

What?! Of course it was - history time: the small feller with moustaches joined an anti-capitalist workers party. It's in the name - it was socialist but nationalist so anti-communist but still decidedly to the left of say the DNC today. Check the manifesto including things like banning rentiers, seizing land, obligating pensions and this little gem "We want all very big corporations to be owned by the government" etc. The moral is that its not where you start, its where you go that matters.

Thiel donating to Trump is not a big deal.

Honestly, if people really wanted to solve this 'issue' instead of criticizing the business ethics of YC, they'd go DONATE TO THE OPPOSITE CANDIDATE and VOTE ON NOVEMBER 8TH.

Because in the end, it's ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE, and I'm sure there's more people who disagree with Thiel than agree.

So in your opinion is there any logically-possible situation in which it is morally acceptable to choose to cease associating with someone over incommensurable views? Have you ever done it yourself? Do you feel morally obligated to be a business partner of people who support Hillary Clinton, since to choose not to would "punish" and "silence" their speech?
> to refuse to acknowledge that the inflammatory language he's used during the campaign can and already has materially impacted the way millions of Americans perceive and act upon their world

You're using real numbers here so I assume you're not just making things up. I've not seen those, but if you have those sources I'd like to see them.

Here's the thing. I'm much more concerned with policy than Trump's rhetoric. He's mostly insincere and anyone that has spent time with a politician can see that. His discussions and ideas around policy are as empty and baseless as his threats to build a wall. He's a performer. Not a threat.

It would behoove liberals to focus more on policy and demonstrations of how their candidate can positively change the economy than to continue feigning outrage about the things that come out of Trump's mouth.

> Indeed, but it's not one person. It's him and apparently 40% of the population, and large parts of the Republican establishment have also fallen in line (and many more would have if another 5% had switched to his side and made him the frontrunner).

I don't agree with this 40% thing because it's not sufficient to say that because they support him, they support his worst ideas. Maybe they support his best ideas, and have a high degree of confidence that the worst will not happen. Nobody has foreknowledge of what a President will actually do in office. We can choose to use our best judgment and apply it while voting - that is why everyone gets one vote, to exercise that judgment.

To argue that those who are voting for him are in favor of racism, bigotry, etc. is a generalization. Would you generalize this way about followers of any religion? Many religions advocate some oppressive ideas, but we give followers the benefit of the doubt beforehand by saying that unless proved otherwise, let's first assume that they are peace-loving tolerant people of faith who believe only the "good parts" of this book, and not the violent parts. We don't seem to be doing that in politics, and I think that's wrong.
This opinion makes zero sense to me.

People are allowed to have opinions, and people are allowed to criticize those opinions. If you're going to publicly support something (like, say, with a million dollar donation), you should expect public feedback about said support.

There's no suppression of the freedom of speech happening here - Marco is expressing an opinion about an opinion.

By your logic, we should accept all opinions as valid and not critize any of them because that would be "suppression" of the freedom of speech. But clearly all opinions are not valid - and people on HN seems to have no problem (rightfully) critizing sexism and other discrimination in the workplace. And people are criticizing Trump (and his supporters) for the same thing.
I agree with you (I only got -3, but that is also an HN personal record).
Voter registration is already public in many states (and searchable online). While that doesn't include actual votes, it does include party affiliation which is obviously a strong indicator. Beyond some extreme exceptions, you can't even opt-out of being listed in this publicly searchable database which includes your home address as well. In other words, voting is hardly anonymous even today.

And even that doesn't account for recent massive scale (191M people) leaks [1].

Potentially someone could actually prefer Hyper-V on Windows 10 over VirtualBox. On my Windows 10 laptop I use Hyper-V to run Docker, stand alone Ubuntu 16.04 and Gentoo VMs, as well as Windows VMs provided by whatever the Modern.IE project is now known as.

I'm sure that if I needed to run something much less currently maintained, like OS/2, that VirtualBox on Windows would be better.

Also, I think it would have been a good idea for the Docker for Windows package to allow choosing between common Windows VM system instead of being tied to only one.
There's a stunning degree of false equivalence happening here with regard to Trump.

Trump is not Romney or McCain. It's not a left/liberal-only claim that Trump is dangerously unfit to be president. There are scores of republican national security experts who have written open letters, come out publicly against him, etc.

To claim he's just another side of a coin is absurd. This guy is out there, as we speak, dangerously fanning the conspiracy that the election will be rigged.

The decision by YC sent a signal about diversity of opinions. But, it sent other signals as well. One is that it further normalizes Trump. One can make a strong argument that of the signals YC could have sent, the latter is worse.

Where's the line? Would Trump need to literally have been a klan member for it to be okay for an organization to say, you know what, we're not going to associate with people publicly supporting this guy? Somewhere there's a line, and many of us believe it was crossed a long time ago.

The other thing is, Thiel is not going to be 'unfairly silenced' if YC were to cut ties. He's a vocal billionaire who in our current system of money and politics has a megaphone far larger than most. It's disingenuous to equate YC cutting ties with Thiel to firing an employee over their personal political beliefs. It's a privilege to serve on a board at that level, and there should be a higher moral standard.
