Was the Constitution always interpreted that way? Was it written by people who thought that way? The assertion that the Xth Amendment is a nullity seems to indicate a shift in the way the Constitution fits in law. Or at least it indicates that the interaction between deference to that document and the way US law evolved turned some words that people who wrote them thought meant something into a nullity.
Yeah, looking into it more it was an unsubstantiated rumor. When she was asked about it she seemed to be lying but that easily could have been disdain for what she perceived to be a silly line of questioning.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was nothing more than a joke made in poor taste if it was ever even said at all. At this point I don't know why the government would even bother anyway. The cat is out of the bag and if they start killing people like Assange they're just going to assure the next group does it anonymously from the shadows.

It would be much simpler to do little things here and there to create unresolved questions about the integrity of Assange/Wikileaks and let half the country fight with the other half about that instead of the leaks. Honestly I'm not even sure why he even did it so openly in the first place. If a powerful nation is willing to spend money to engineer controversy you're screwed.
GE just moved HQ into the city of Boston, article seems to be cherry picking through history and unfairly picking on Apple, HP was pretty innovative and started in the suburbs. The interstate system and WW2 as a source of innovation seem to be also overlooked in the time period examined.

Why do you need to keep all 25 years of commits?
And yet if they're at the same event I'm quite likely getting something that, in combination, is much closer to what I'd call journalism.
In socialist countries there were many unwritten regulations/instructions - what is allowed/verboten in politics? The law would not state that explicitly because the policy of the party could change suddenly (like with the Molotov - Ribbentrop packt) and the law is not that easily adjusted. Therefore behavior was regulated by taboos - don't say anything that is not stated by the state media, better don't say anything because politics keep changing. I wonder if secret laws are a move in the same direction.
To give an idea of differences between regions, I have never met anyone in Japan using Snapchat except if they're American. Hell, most people don't even know it's a thing
Because once your government is the arbiter of "journalism", anyone who disagrees will be marginalized?

Even the threat of it can affect what is / is not covered.

Once the government has significant power over journalism, you end up with Russian state sponsored journalism.

It's not perfect over here, and needs much improvement. Access is contingent on certain rules. It can get much worse.
Informed decisions? Dripping random out of context emails to try and generate a conspiracy or uninformed internet rage weeks before an election is not at all trying to inform the public. Assange lost his neutral credibility long ago. What happened to dumping all data right after it is received? That isn't happening this time because he doesn't like big government and thus doesn't like Clinton.
Yes! ... And there are a lot of stages between a fully immutable object @Value and @Data (described above). The @Builder is so much better than most but you can also easily create a POJO with a portion of its fields immutable too (a combination of @NonNull, @Getter, @Setter and @RequiredArgsConstructor).
When everybody has a voice, you'll hear garbage like that thrown at you. It's an effect of being connected to most all of humanity. But it is inextricably linked to freedom, which many generally consider worth the good to endure the bad.

And while threats are fairly clearly defined, "harassment" is very nebulous. One person views a non-directed statement as harassing, the other doesn't, the community around that exchange might take one side, society-wide may vote differently, countries have different norms & attitudes, etc. How can everybody share a censorship system where everybody's view of what constitutes harassment is slightly different? It'll never go far enough to cover many people's definition (which is your complaint against the current system), and go too far for others. Sorry, but I think that having the world's systems catered to one person's comprehensive subjective view of "bad" (whoever it is) really is too much to ask. We should stick to those things which are more cut and dry, which won't ever be comprehensive.
Sorry guys I should have been more clear. Edited to say "round-trip."

Air India DEL to SFO nonstop flight was launched in December 2015[1]. So, it's a relatively new route for Air India, and it has been very successful due to its non-stop nature. This change in route (flying over Pacific) was announced back in August 2016[2] itself. They're doing incremental optimization of route plan, nothing wrong in it. There might be permits/permissions required to fly over Chinese air space too, which might have been resolved by now[3].

Then what's a "journalist"? Someone who gets paid to go do the research? "Journalist" is derived from "journal" (duh, but important) - bloggers are nothing more than online journalists. The fact that they are called "bloggers" is only because society has elected to stick with the term "blog" for an online journal.
What is the reasoning? They aren't going to fly to Ecuador to interview someone they consider a flight from justice?
They'll still call it Cortana?

I rather like Cortana, but it seems to get a lot of hate - comparisons to MS BOB and what not.
So can someone explain to me why one would use amex over stripe or braintree? Or why would one use mastercard's API or Visa's? They all have similar APIs right?

Cannot reccomend GitUp (http://gitup.co/) enough. It's open source too.

That said, I use it differently to you; I use a graphical Git client mostly to view and browse around the commit graph, and I generally make commits and stuff like that from the CLI. I think it's pretty simple to do commits through GitUp as well.
You can tell that a bunch of people only upvoted because of the title and never read the article because the article itself is trash.
Here's a close-to-home example: the Stanford Research Park. It meets (in my opinion) the isolation requirement, but here's why I find it interesting: On a map, the area has amazing transit accessibility. But, almost all of that transit is commute-time-only express routes. There is very little integration between the research park and the surrounding communities.

Maybe it's not on such a grand scale as the examples from the article, but things like this are closer than you think.
Is it also the definition of racism to acknowledge that some races may have higher incidences of certain diseases, like sickle-cell anemia or cystic fibrosis? There are differences between the races. One of those differences is skin color. That doesn't mean it's the only difference.

The fact is that when you plot the results of IQ tests, the accepted measurement of intellectual capacity, along with race on a chart, a strong correlation is present. I don't think we should ostracize people who've performed this experiment and noted the results. It's not "racist" to perform this experiment, and it's not racist to acknowledge the widely-repeated results.

People usually say that the correlations demonstrate that the IQ test itself is racist. Maybe that's true. But just plotting race and IQ on the same graph and noting the outcome is not.
SJWs ruining everything.
Oh right, thanks! Corrected.
Yup.

I am doing some dependency analysis, so as to identify weak points for our business, e.g. DRP and so on.

So far, the creakiest points we identified are Github and NPM.

Github makes judgments on what is good and what is not, so they may shut down my dependency. Not good.

NPM is the same. Any random person amongst the 5,000 dependencies can withdraw their approval, and kill my dependency. Not good.

So I will recommend just removing both.

Github ->> Just host your own Git

NPM ->> Yarn or whoever understands "stability"
Very similar accuracy, timing and alignment. We don't do speaker diarization at all because the results seem consistently weak, even among the competitors such as Speechmatics. I'd hazard to say our web editor is much better for providing an end-to-end solution, where accuracy and verification matters.

Can we factor in used vehicle sales as well?

A certified used 2012 or 2013 Nissan Leaf can be had for about $9K - $14k. A used 2012 or 2013 Nissan Versa seem to sell for about $8K to $13K. (Both numbers pulled from current autotrader.com listings in the Midwest US).

If your willing to buy a certified used vehicle, the price difference drops down to only about $1k-$2k.
Maybe most people prefer suburbia? I know I do.
Though downtown Raleigh today is quite a difference from RTP. I used to visit RTP and Apex quite a bit with a previous employer. And, in my current job, I had to go to the NC Centennial Campus initially. All required rental cars. Now it's an Uber to downtown Raleigh. No car required.
Then why other operators are not doing this long-haul nonstop route? This flight plan has been proven successful for Air India, they run it thrice a week at 88% occupancy. Now, they'll be flying this route daily[1].

One of the first guidelines, "Assume no malice", is one I take to heart, and wish it was applied by people here to this announcement.

Maybe you've never experienced any problems with the open source community. Personally, I know I never had. Even if most of us have positive experiences, there are some people who don't. These guidelines are trying to make it so less people have a bad experience in the future.

Having community guidelines doesn't kill a community. Hacker News itself has guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), and I don't think we've suffered because of it. While the language of GitHub's guidelines is different, the goals seem very much the same.

Let's assume that GitHub is acting in good faith here, and trying to make things better for the community.
I would bet it's more expensive than Stripe. AmEX is known for being much more expensive than Visa and MC, and I wouldn't be surprised if Stripe loses money on every AmEx transaction (but makes it up on other cards).

Citation Needed. I suspect the number of real threats are approximately the same as the number of people that have really fucked my mum.
I have no idea why github wants to be the referee for these issues.

There is a 2nd+ level comment by oridecon down-thread with a perfect example:

> I wouldn't want to be the person deciding where issues like this fits: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941

wtf do you do with that? who is making the complaint? are they part of the community? can non-community members sabotage a community by making this type of complaint? If no, why not? Their grievance from a moral standpoint is just as legitimate. But if so, then it means that my actions in a personal arena will spill over to my github account? And how do you prove that the person in the personal account was me, and not just a person with the same user name on a different platform? or a sock puppet designed to get me banned?

There is no higher-level of refereeing that is going to make this easy. Ultimately, I predict that any enforcement of this policy by github will be arbitrary and capricious. And if it's not enforced, then it's just a waste of air.

I really doubt that they are solving a bigger problem (based on my own experience using GH) than they are creating, but I wish them the best of luck..
"Unsafe" now means that someone in some "space" said words that revealed they aren't part of your in-group. How can you possibly feel safe unless all of the people in the "space" regularly signal that they affirm everything you believe and identify with?

Honestly I'd imagine its more of an issue of, with encrypt then send, the only way you can browse your remote files, is to download them and then decrypt them

so that means no browsing thumbnails of what could be a large collection, no viewing dates or other information on those files (since that is information leaked).

the only real way is to cache all that information on each device that would want to access those photos, which is doable, but it would feel a bit awkward, especially if sharing any of the data with other devices
The biggest reason would be price. I don't know the amex payment pricing or how it differs from stripe/braintree, but cutting out the middle man has got to be cheaper.

I run a small business using stripe and cc processing fees are a big hit. The service and support is amazing and it's so easy to use, but it's not cheap. They charge the same for every card type when the card providers charge in-person merchants much different (and lower) rates.

It appears unlikely that, as the general consensus seems to be, a group as diverse as all journalists world-wide would collectively be any more stupid than any other profession. So it may be unjust to call what happened to them "mistakes". There's no indication that an offline-only or paywalled distribution would have had better chances (the few that did were without exception rather special publications focusing on high-value niches).

They were simply mauled by the same market forces that killed travel agencies or fax repairmen.

Unfortunately, while we're all quite happy to book our own flights, journalism is still vital. Sure, news is cheap, you can get the same stuff everywhere. But if you trace it back to it's origin, you'll end up at the NYT or WP or the Guardian more often than not.

There's simply no way that hobbyists could ever fill the void that would remain if any of the few high-quality publications were to fail.
Its not punishing, it's helping. Fixing bugs in development sure beats fixing bugs in production. And most of the things it complains about are in fact bugs.
> I guess not. Sometimes the cleanest thing to do is to just mutate a field - particularly for GUI objects.

I don't know if it's worth the overhead of having unthinking developers writing { get; set } for every field in every class because it makes things "easier".

I do not understand your point. First you claim that we should not mutate the field, then you claim that we should mutate the field.

Which one is it? Mutate or not?

I can't upvote this enough. I found the Rust community incredibly welcoming, and loved the focus on tooling - making our day-to-day lives so much better. So much so, that after a few weeks of working with Rust I contributed a few small fixes to the IntelliJ Rust plugin.

So, yeah - the community inspired me, and I hope the RLS inspires other people to contribute to Rust and the tooling around it as well!
It boggles me that a project hosted on SourceForge that hasn't been updated in 3 years and is in no way relevant lands on the front page of Hacker News...
This is a weird article. It assumes that this style is bad up front, then mocks all the different ways in which it was defined as good. "People like green spaces, how crazy is that?"

I like cities, but I also really enjoyed the couple of times I've worked at parks like this. There's a lot to be said for a predictable commute and a window full of green things. I've found that harder to come by when I work in cities.
Notice how in the replies many people said "I built a site .."? One of the ways that you promote your site is by talking about it everywhere, especially on posts like this.

Of course I'm not advocating spamming forums, or message-boards, but if you find any topic or group which is relevant to your (potential) users you do need to mention it.

As a concrete example if you're ever needing easy to update DNS hosting you might enjoy my site too https://dns-api.com/ ;)
Why should I care? In a perfect world we would have some entity that works equally hard to vet and discredit both sides (it used to sort of be the press). We don't live in that world, so we have to deal with proponents of a side digging up and releasing what they find with their motivation to beat the other.

I would agree with your point if we had a single source of information or only information coming from one side. That is simply not the case though.

FWIW, attacking the source is what you do when the information itself is indefensible.

So you're ensuring consistency by blocking on all queries? And it's up to the client to enforce this to any degree? And if there's one master and a global clock, sounds like you threw out the "P" too. Frankly this thing sounds simplistic and unusable, and it's sorta offensive to hear SQLite called unusable in the enterprise, whatever that means.
Journalists also focus on facts - who, what, when - and avoid bias. Something that we've seen has gone out the window at what used to be legitimate news sources.

I have no problem with opinion pieces or punditry, but don't try to disguise it as journalism.
It's incredible how ignorant some folks can be when it comes to why cash is still considered king today. For one, half of all small transactions (less than $50) are made in cash.

OH the other day in Palo Alto: "Cash will no longer be a thing in 5 years."

Sorry, we are still roughly 200 years away from achieving this authoritarian fantasy, if we are to consider the current rate of decline of payments made in cash. I wish folks would leave their suburban bubble for once and talk with real people across America, especially those living at the bottom of the pyramid.

On the one hand you criticize Wikileaks for publishing all the data they have received, implying it is 'random' and 'out of context', and that they are acting out of a want to 'generate a conspiracy or uninformed internet rage'. This implies that you would prefer they edit and interpret sources before publication.

Unfortunately, on the other hand you want them to be 'neutral' and 'credible'.

I believe Wikileaks does a good job of maintaining the middle ground by providing both raw documents and context and analysis. Your suggestion that they are generating conspiracies does not stand up to analysis: by providing raw documents they do the opposite.

With regards to immediacy, Wikileaks has explained their processes in the past with regards to source validation. One of the most obvious attacks against the organization would be publishing false information through them to discredit them publicly. Therefore all information received must be carefully researched and validated, as well as anonymized, before publication.
so I take it your not going to use this with your DarkBASIC projects ?
Depending on how much state your applications carry forward, I think killing the process is often the right thing to do. Otherwise, it's very easy to end up with connection leaks or just downright confusing state that can't always easily be traced back to what should have been an exception.

I run a node app that serves ~500M requests a day that is configured to die on exceptions, it just means that we do everything we can to prevent them (unit tests, linters, etc) and take them very seriously when they happen.
