No shame on Marcos, Pao, and anyone else taking a this stupid stance against those who disagree with them. Supporting Trump is perfectly fine, as is supporting Clinton. Calling for the heads of those on opposing sides of the isle is what is truly disgraceful and the whole lot of you acting like petulant children are just pathetic and dangerously misguided.
Against trump though?

All those "I'm so great at business" arguments kind of pale next to "I am the richest man in the country after I built my business from the ground up"
That assumes that (i) Wikileaks and Assange in particular has a strong reputation for telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and definitely not prioritising drawing as much attention as possible to possibly damaging material and commentary about Hillary Clinton in the run up to the election over the principle of being whistleblowers whose only agenda was the truth (ii) good evidence of it being a stunt could ever be produced if it was a stunt and (iii) people inclined to generally believe Assange's take on events are particularly likely to cry foul over even pretty good evidence this might be a stunt.

I mean, speaking of reputation damage, hadn't Assange finally managed to bargain an arrangement in which he could face potentially very damaging questioning, but under the auspices of a state actively hostile to the principle of prosecuting him, using their prosecutor, questions prepared in advance and without any prospect of Sweden actually arresting him afterwards? Wasn't that supposed to have been yesterday? Wasn't the announced reason that despite having scheduled the interview exactly the way his legal team and his protectors at the Ecuadorean embassy wanted it, well in advance, his legal team had unfortunately concluded they would be unavailable on that day? Have many people stopped believing that Assange is actually really, really willing to talk to Swedish prosecutors that just keep putting all these unfair obstructions in his way as a result?

Why would a denial or two from Ecuador or even a time-stamped email from Assange at 6pm on Saturday night talking about how much fun he was having on the internet at that moment change anyone's view of Wikileaks?

> The crisis is not one of content. But one of distribution.

This is undoubtedly the key aspect of the networked world. Papers have, in the past, tried to do various forms of syndication and distribution bundling deals to establish a viable business model but to my knowledge these have all been abject failures. Compound this with the loss of monopoly income from local classified ads and we have implosion.

My suggestion to the industry is to not syndicate content, rather syndicate subscription. I only want to have a single "news" subscription - and it's not going to be on "your" site. So the industry should find a way for me to pay for content wherever I may find it with a single subscription, and without anyone "owning" my account. There may be a business model that works there.
>Yeah, right. You do know that Trump wants to appoint clones of Scalia to the Supreme Court, right[1]? The same Scalia who was opposed to gay marriage and gay rights? [2]

Scalia's arguments weren't completely unreasonable. His dissent essentially said that the matter should have been solved by a constitutional amendment.

I think the best possible solution would have been to introduce an amendment that clearly states the federal government has no authority to regulate marriage while also clearly stating that the right to pursue a marriage to the consenting adult of our choice falls under the protection of "inalienable rights", thus stripping from the states the ability to individually pass laws oppressing homosexuals.

However, I think that the passing of such an amendment was and is unlikely. So, while I see Scalia's point on that particular issue, I don't necessarily think the rest of the supreme court had much of a choice.

There are many other decisions where I disagreed with Scalia, but I think there's something to be said for maintaining a somewhat balanced supreme court (not that I'm willing to vote for Trump to make that happen).

The supreme court was designed in a way that was intended to keep the justices free from the influence of politics. However, it has pretty much always been a political competition.
I do not think you hit on any of the things that make Trump a potential danger to our system of government.

It is his blatant contempt for our Constitution, rule of law, and our political traditions that makes him an existential threat. Support for torture. Jailing political opponents. Wanting to jail journalists saying things he doesn't like. Making religious tests for entering the country. (Many more I'm sure I'm forgetting.)

I think way to little has been made of this as the key reason Trump is not fit to hold the office of President.

> Also, in the comparison photos, they have shown different images for the Pixel and iPhone. How can we be expected to judge for ourselves based on that?

Came here to say the same thing, it's incredibly hard to judge when you have 2 different pictures. A number of site have nailed this and have the same picture taken with each phone and a slider you can pull across the image to switch between the two phones. All that to say I'm not a photographer and I really couldn't give a shit about the pictures I take. No one has ever shamed me for not having enough definition in a picture I've posted and reallyI'd be fine with a camera from 2-3 iPhone models ago.
> he's the leader of a large radicalized army

Wat. He's the nominee for one of the two major political parties in America. Calling his supporters a "large radicalized army" is no better than calling half of them a "basket of deplorables." The entire reason Trump got the nomination is because people like you consistently marginalized the security and economic concerns of a large swath of people rather than bothering to constructively engage. Thinly veiled suggestions that Trump supporters are going to become violent on election day are just as retarded and unhelpful as suggestions that all muslims are secret terrorists.
> Soap manufacturers spent many years promoting the idea that unless you bathed daily using soap everywhere you would be more smelly than a skunk and people would shun you.

I have had occasion to be near people who believe as you do on a regular basis, and yes — they have a strong odour. I do not find it pleasant, although I suppose it is not completely and totally unpleasant either. It is definitely present, and not something I would choose to invite into my own personal space.

And whatever one calls bad breath, it can be so bad as to cause one to retch.

I won't propose that modern washing & mouthwash measures are the best preventatives to these issues, but I do insist that these are actual issues.

> Those figures are pretty remarkable. Especially when they were supposed to get "40 percent of net receipts"!

The clue is in the word 'net'. Classic Hollywood accounting. If the owners make sure that Spinal Tap doesn't turn a profit, then they don't have to pay out anything. As long as their revenue is going some other direction (wages, say, or paid out to suppliers who do turn a profit), then they can still make money, while denying it to the suckers who put in work for points on the net receipts.

If Hollywood calls, and you're offered a percentage of net takings, then the example above probably is a pretty good indicator of how much you can expect to receive - $170 split four-ways over 30 years on a modern day classic.
The bitter irony is that we have a seated president that promised such things, but only stood to do the opposite. We simply can not trust the vast majority of our political body to do what they say, promise and in turn we elect them to do.

We are probably less than a couple decades away from a 1984-like dystopian future, or a very large scale block of civil unrest and domestic warfare. The increasing separation of classes combined with the duplicitous nature of politics and corporatism in the U.S. (let alone through the world) can not be strained much further without one of those results taking hold.

I don't blame them. It is in the Eastern time zone. I grew up there, and describing Ohio as anything west in the US always struck me as stupid.
The article is ridiculous. Legal interpretations are only law when they have been adopted by a court. A private legal interpretation is not a "secret law." To the contrary, every organization of any substantial size has private interpretations of laws, and those interpretations are protected from disclosure by attorney-client privilege.
Conformity and perfectionism is the western translation, but they are inaccurate, for the same reasons most translations are inaccurate. They are translations by appearance only. As a culture perfectionism is shunned, and individuality is encouraged. The translation would have you believe the opposite.

The cause lies in their extremely specific moral values as a society. They call it the Japanese spirit (nihon no kokoro, 日本の心) and it embodies discipline, proper procedure, mastery, sacrifice for the greater good, among other things. A good member of society is one that aspires to be an iconic Japanese. And when an entire culture behaves in this manner, they do appear to conform, and to value perfection, and to even act as one. But they're aligned only because they uphold similar values and share common goals.

The Japanese are conformist as much as a good Christian wants to be a good Christian. Christians don't conform to Christianity. They embody it, and hence become similar as a result, not as their motivation.

They are perfectionist as much as an aspiring athlete wants to be like Mike. They aren't looking to master Perfect or become Perfect. They just want to be like Mike.

And we don't say kids playing basketball are conformist for all wearing Jordan or Steph Curry gear, nor do they wear it to conform. They do it because they love those players (just as the Japanese love their country).

Another great Japanese word is kodawari (こだわり). It's the obsessively picky and uncompromising soul of a craftsman. This too could easily be translated as perfectionism, but "perfection (kanpeki)" is not their goal. "Ideal (risou)" is their goal. And kodawari is an emotion, whereas perfectionism is not. And "ideal" is a dynamic and personal target, where as "perfection" is not. Perfection is for amateurs.
I agree, it's not that clearcut and you provided a great counterexample to my argument. My example was intended for mostly disjoint private and professional spheres but I did not specify it.

I wonder if there are homonyms where one meaning has an OE etymology and one has a Romance etymology.

- I found one: "rose" (as a flower or color < Latin "rosa", as a kind of motion < Old English "risan")

So, you have to be a little careful about the etymology of meanings as well. Also, you should allow inflections (has, have, having, had) which might not be listed separately in some dictionaries or word lists.
Supporting someone as president does not imply holding all the views that that person holds. And associating with someone who holds views you find detestable is not the same thing as associating with someone who supports a political candidate who holds views that you find detestable. I can't see how there is anything baffling about this.
"Republicans were not opposed to Obama because of his race"

Many, maybe most Republicans were not opposed to Obama for that reason.

But the Trump campaign and his supporters have made it clear a non-trivial number of Republicans oppose him for that reason.

>If Peter said some of the things Trump says himself, he would no longer be part of Y Combinator.

If it is only reasonable to spouse Thiel's supports Trump is in every particular. Not just the least damaging but also the most. So this not only includes the more palatable anti globalization stance but also race baiting and, hostility towards women as well as a fiercely anti democracy, anti free press platform.

I assume much of that is exactly opposed to ycombinator's higher mission.

Thiel's association with ycombinator is not one of employee to employer, it is voluntary association of colleagues for a common goal, presumably with goals higher than just monetary. Going forward, continuing with Thiel will not only make any claim to those nobler goals _look_ disingenuous they likely will in fact _be_ undermined.

If you look back far enough, a huge amount of the land we live on was obtained by violence, theft, or deception. If the first person in the chain of ownership got it by dubious means, they had no right to sell it, and nor did the next person, and so on. By convention, we don't look that far back and ask people to prove their right to ownership. Further back than time immemorial[1] and it's just accepted without further justification.

As for royalty and the church, the United Kingdom is not a republic: it's a constitutional monarchy with an established church (the church is part of the state and the monarch is head of the church).

There may come a time when the church is disestablished (against the wishes of the antidisestablishmentarians — never thought I'd have a chance to use that word on Hacker News) and the monarchy abolished, but for the moment that's what we have and there's no real justification for "removing" the property of either.

The Turing test doesn't test for intelligence, simply human-like communication. Things like lying, typing errors, or reaction to insult aren't indicators of an artificial intelligence, but are requirements for passing the Turing test.

One of the biggest criticisms of the Turing test is, because it's a behavioral or functional test, there is no way to ensure that the computer is actually thinking intelligently at all, rather than following a very-well-articulated rules engine.
Well, on Windows we also have COM, but I get your point.

It doesn't matter what actually happens; it only matters what Trump haters want to happen. Trump is being taken to the woodshed over things he hasn't even done yet and may never do, yet Obama, the Clintons, the Bushes, et al--who actually have committed crimes--get free passes.

IOW, they tried so hard to make the game realistic that the intended gameplay was no longer enforceable

Realism is sometimes a misguided goal. Games are media, just like movies. What you want most of the time isn't realism, but an impression of realism. Robert Crumb and his son sometimes do "realistic" portraits, but in the biographical movie about Crumb, he reveals that his "realistic" portraits actually contain very subtle elements of caricature, to draw the user's attention to the most interesting aspects of the subject's face.

Contrast this with films of war vs. actual war. Head-cam movies of modern soldiers in combat look like people in battle gear taking cover while yelling at each other about people you can't see or barely see, then calling in air support. There's nothing cinematic or easily parseable by the viewer. If you're on a modern battlefield, and you're posing for the cameras in a nicely composed scene laid out by the "Rule of Three" you're likely to get shot in the very next second.

Documentaries and action films are very different things. Both of those are very different from documentary-styled fictional films. Analogies to sandboxes, various other game genres, and sandboxy games apply.

It sounds to me like you're more of a technically inclined software executive/business person than a coder. Would you agree or disagree with that statement? Your run-of-the-mill programmer isn't going to be writing any contracts or license agreements and they're certainly not going to be managing any financials.

If the interviews consist entirely of whiteboard problems, then they're probably just planning on sticking you onto an agile team where you'll grab tickets off a queue every morning and churn through them at your own pace. It sounds to me like this is quite a bit different from what you've actually been doing. So I guess the point I'm trying to drive at here is that maybe your mistake is identifying yourself as just a software developer when you're actually an executive?
I keep being impressed by Michael J. Glennon's "National Security and Double Government" (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2376272 ; subsequently also published as a book), which gives a fairly disturbing analysis of the "Madisonian" (or "dignified") institutions vs. the "Trumanite" (or "efficient") institutions in the government and how they relate to one another.
How can you make any money at this? Printful is expensive and you offer free shipping on orders. Say one of your women's shirts runs 22.99. Printful charges 16 for the shirt and 5 for shipping, so you're only making 1.99 on that order. You're going to have to sell a whole lotta shirts! Are you planning on doing away with the free shipping at some point to increase your net or are you doing this for fun?

I only ask because I was considering using printful for our online shirt sales so that I wouldn't have to do much but they ate up all the profits. If you have the cash to pay upfront, screenprinting is the way to go.
