It could be the case that Scala language and docs are really done from perspective of maintainers. When I look at commits this year on github [1], there are about half dozen people making significant contribution and most of them seems to be associated with Lightbend. Other popular languages e.g Java/Rust/Swift/Go have very vibrant commit activity from lots of contributors

IANAL, but the primary concern for service members is the UCMJ and violation of a lawful order as it is far more black and white legally. That being said, I would be cautious if you were interested in anything that included a CI or Full Scope Poly requirement.
> did USSR produce any original major basic research breakthroughs?

Yes. If you look through just a college-level algorithms class curriculum, you'll find:

- Leonid Levin, who discovered the concept of NP-completeness in the early 1970s (as did Stephen Cook, independently)

- Georgy Adelson-Velsky and Evgenii Landis, who invented the AVL tree, the first self-balancing binary search tree, in 1962

- Andrey Kolmogorov, who did a bunch of things including Kolmogorov complexity, an important concept in information theory that underlies our understanding of entropy and compression

- Vladimir Levenshtein, another information theorist who gave his name to the concept of Levenshtein distance
Congrats to Mackenzie and Dan. (:
His statements might have some level of validity if he was criticising the use of electronic voting machines. He is not. He is instead suggesting that his supporters go to "other areas" and "see what's going on over there" - if his objection was electronic voting machines then that request would make no sense.

> On the flip side, Spring's documentation (and most Java library documentation) is absolutely atrocious. Spring in particular only seems to give you 2 flavors of documentation: a 10-minute tutorial, or a 1000-page deep dive in all of the corners of the framework. And Java libraries in general seem to have miserable, out-of-date, incomplete documentation.

I actually find the opposite with Java libraries. They are generally over documented but are complete. The issue is that many have issues with publishing doc/Javadoc (with github it is slightly non trivial) and thus are outdated. Java projects have also been around a lot longer so some of them use archaic doc formats like docbook (spring).

However the biggest problem with Java documentation is the accessibility of the standard language + javax stuff (ie jdk + jee). IMO Oracle does a piss poor job of this. You have to register and it is either in some messed up help tree format or some PDF that is impossible to download.

On the other hand Apache and Spring I think are far far far more detailed in documentation than your standard PHP, Ruby, Python projects. The documentation may not be as pretty but it is there. I stress that because many languages and libraries lack specifications or review processes (even still) and Java was doing it fairly early (albeit with various corporate agendas).
> If you give developers sudo access

Why would you, though? A developer would at the very most require the application's privileges, not the super user's. And that's only really necessary when doing live troubleshooting.
< the lack of available media made it less of a focus?

Yes x10. Atomic war..any subject, really. We didn't know what we didn't have. If it wasnt on the tv or paper it didn't exist.

"Oddballs" talked about DDT, women's rights, ozone layer,
Poverty, gambling, single parenthood- you name the subject.

Letters to editors gave others' voices. But no way to communicate back. Magazines gave voices too, but weekly or monthly.

Aside from civil rights and anti Vietnam war organizing there was not much organizing going on.

I recall a spray painted "go to dc Jan 20" on a pinball joint in my university city hometown.

Printed flyers on poles organized people for war protests.

The first real "always talked about " thing was Watergate hearings and then of course the Iran hostages and Nightline each night. Constant update on the subject.

Talk radio did not exist back then. Am radio djs talked but. Never political
150ms is pretty standard server-side rendering React for a relatively simple page, but it scales pretty predictably with the complexity of the component tree. Obviously there are some caching strategies available, but I think the only real solution is going to come from serious investment in the problem from the React side. I can't see the core devs tackling it, because Facebook doesn't require it, but maybe the community can step in.

Fermat's factorization method
America's first-past the post system is pretty terrible and removes any real choice. Keep in mind the constitutional framers wanted to keep people who weren't educated from voting and even then, the vote was more of a suggestion (i.e. the electoral college).

America's voting system is undemocratic and next to useless. Australia's order of preference with instant runoff, New Zealand's MMP or any basic parliamentary system is better in that they promote choice, require coalitions and do a better job at representing various parts of the population. Returning to America was deeply upsetting for me, not because of the D/R debate during election season, but more because people actually think it makes a difference which one gets elected.
There's a real blind spot for SJWs to this kind of irony. They keep making these exact kinds of errors, over and over again, for instance advocating sexism or racism but thinking its ok because of the particular sex or race they choose to discriminate against.

VR is at that "just mature" cusp for video games, but not for general computing interfaces. I believe that's why Apple hasn't jumped in yet. They don't want to be a video game company like Steam or Oculus. They want to create a completely new general computing UI, and VR just isn't ready for that yet, nor is AR.
That depends on what is damaging. Is evidence of collusion and cooperation between DNC, media (including sending articles for approval, leaking supposedly secret interview questions and creating content at the request of the campaign, to be published as independently created) and Clinton campaign to get Clinton elected damaging? It might be if you value free press and honest election process, or it might be OK for you if you agree that getting Clinton elected is the ultimate goal.[1]

Is evidence of financial ties of Clinton and foundation aides to Russian oligarchy damaging? Depends on whether you think being financially tied to Putin and claiming Trump is in Putin's pocket in the same time is something bad to do or a clever game?

Is evidence of pay-for-play arrangements between State Dept., Clinton foundation and foreign investors - including same persons working for both at the same time - damaging or just a successful charity that nobody has to be ashamed of?

Is revelation that the president knew what he claimed to have no knowledge of damaging or just a clever tactic to defeat attacks?

Is revelation that Supreme Court was (successfully) pressured into making certain decisions by threatening to make it a campaign issue otherwise damaging or just a successful management?

Is calling your voters "needy latinos"[2] and Catholics "amazing bastardization of the faith"[3] damaging or just funny banter?

Is telling "we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry"[4] and complaining "compliance is obviously fading rapidly" damaging or accurate assessment of their electoral strategy?

It all depends on your point of view, I guess.

It would be a fun hackathon project to build such a thing out of the components you could find in typical office equipment, and I wouldn't expect it to take a competent EE more than a few hours (if you'll allow continuous wave Morse code as a transport layer).

But based on where the embassy is, it's probably easier to stand near a window and get on the WiFi from Pret a Manger next door.

Yes. Living in a liberal and free society means tolerating views you find repugnant.
It's easy for a portion of people on HN to minimize their use of Facebook because most visitors to this site hate ads and have a general dislike and distrust towards the service Facebook offers. On the contrary, the general population doesn't have the same perspective on things since they aren't as technical and probably less educated as many HN visitors so they'll continue to use Facebook disregarding the potential consequences that may arise. Also it doesn't help a lot of people are still using Facebook and still remains a great way to keep up with people.

There are upsides and downsides. I love Arch and run it myself, but I'd never recommend an 'easy Arch' variant, because I imagine it'd suck.

Arch with it's rolling release setup works, in my experience, because I know my system - all except the most core of the core components I'm never going to touch were installed by me and I know they are there and how I configured them, because I did it manually. No magic. When something goes wrong, I know why, and where to look to fix it. Rolling release adds a small amount of instability (although far less than you'd think), and I imagine that combined with the 'magic' in a more pre-built distro would be really annoying.

That's exactly what I meant. A brand is based on what people know about it, and Steve's tight lipped management meant that projects that weren't yet baked didn't muddy the brand image. Now we have to wonder if Apple makes computers, phones, watches, cars, or not, or maybe they're just a bank? The lack of a unified vision drains the brand energy.
Seems like you've listed a bunch of things that together might well be considered a killer app. Sure it's not an app you put on your phone and print money with just because it's got access to gigabit. But quantitative differences eventually become qualitative ones.
Pretty much, agreed.

> Is that perceptual or a cultural gender-specific difference

It's perceptual. Women have a higher cone to rod ratio, making them see colors easier while men see movement better. Also women are more likely to be tetracromats (four different cones instead of three).

There are some unproven evolutionary reasons that this may be the case -- men needed better movement detection to hunt while women needed better color vision to detect bad food when gathering.

I do not want to discuss it is ethical or not. I have an opinion on this but that's not the point here. Instead of judging the morality of this smear/psy-op operation, I take a contemplative approach and use this video as evidence that a war for information is being waged.

Of course, everyone knows that in a presidential race, things get pretty heated up. However, the violence of the conflict between the two campaigns goes well beyond the violence I anticipated. It seems that everything is now fair game.

More importantly, it is clear that there is a huge collusion between the mediatic and political sphere. Again, on a magnitude that goes well beyond what was suspected. Finally, it is quite disturbing - again, from a contemplative PoV - that high-ranking party officials and a candidate themself actually take an active role in this. Before watching this, I would have expected some shady consulting firm running through an ocean of intermediaries and headed by a "special advisor" to some high-ranking DNC official. No, in fact the hierarchy height is much smaller.

I just want to point out that it is illegal in the U.S. for federal candidates to take money from organizations, such as corporations like Alphabet, Inc.

When you see campaign contributions listed "from" Alphabet, that money is actually all coming from individuals.

Employees of Alphabet who give more than $200 are required to list their employer on the donation form. The campaigns then submit that data to the FEC, which makes it public, which is where OpenSecrets gets it. So even if the Google janitor gives $250 to Clinton, OpenSecrets will list that as coming "from" Alphabet.

OpenSecrets also shows money that went to candidates from political action committees (PACs). But any money that passes through a PAC to a candidate must originate from an individual as well. The corporation can only pay administrative fees, like providing an office and Internet connection.
Interesting choice of statistics, there. Most of that third of all households kept fewer than 10 slaves, if they even had more than just one. The majority of all slaves were held by a relatively small number of households representing the richest people in the South.

The history of the Underground Railroad and Caribbean slave rebellions shows that it was, in fact, possible for slaves to escape slavery. Smuggling yourself to Canada won't get you away from Experian et al.

But if you had read my post more carefully, you might have noticed that I did say that most people would share the opinion that slavery is worse, and those who did not were probably just doing it for rhetorical effect. It's the same sort of behavior as saying someone is "literally Hitler"--extreme hyperbole.
You say that without linking to any real source. Every time I have seen someone link "evidence", it is just a Rorschach test of an email that depending on where you fall on the political spectrum you might view as signs of criminal activity or view as politics as usual.

Shanzai: “mountain stockades of regional warlords or bandits”
Oh what a scholar!
While this is impressive compared to earlier systems, just citing the T1 & T2 values does not actually tell you much about the usability of the system as a qubit. What really counts is the number of operations you can realize within the coherence time of the qubit, and as far as I can see from the paper this seems to be around 5-10 (which is two to three orders of magnitude below what e.g superconducting qubits currently offer). Also, the next step would be to show two-qubit operations with the system, which is another challenge that isn't easy to overcome. So only after increasing the coherence time by another two to three orders of magnitude and realizing a robust coupling mechanism would it make sense to think about scaling the system and building an actual quantum computer with it. Still, semiconductor qubits offer several interesting possibilities as Silicon technology is something that is significantly more robust and scalable than e.g. superconducting circuit technology (currently at least).

1. Hardly. It's simply a recognition that a temp worker and temp opportunity recognize the fleeting nature of a particular job position.

2. They read like propaganda because they set up dramatic emotional arguments about people and their families. Is it really necessary to know that the gentleman calls his wife at 2am because she "can't sleep when he isn't there"? It's manipulation, and consequently your response would lead me to feel quite comfortable that it's not me in the bubble.

3. If the economics of a particular job don't justify a higher wage, then the standards for hiring are lowered. It's not a reach at all to arrive at my conclusion.

4. Indeed, these workers are people. And because they aren't unthinking machines, they shouldn't work in a place that doesn't place any value on their well-being. The market will then sort out poor employers appropriately.

Don't trust Two-Factor Authentication on 500px.com
Basically, I made a factory reset on my phone and forgot to backup my Google Authenticator codes. Because of this, I lost access to 17 web services where I use this app to generate codes.

All of the web services provided backup codes when I enabled the 2FA, except one: 500px.com (or maybe they did but I couldn't find them / forgot to get the codes).

When I try to log-in I'm asked for a Google Authenticator code, which I don't have. No SMS token, no backup code.

Because of this, I emailed 500px support asking them for a solution and their response was:

---------------

Hey there,

Thanks for getting in touch. I have gone ahead and reset the authenticator for you as requested.

Best wishes,

<S. B.>

Customer Excellence

(I removed the employee name because I don't know if its good or bad idea to post names here.)

Customer Excellence, really?

Basically, if you get your email compromised, the offender can just email 500px support and get the 2FA disabled without ANY check.

This reminds me the history of N on Twitter (https://medium.com/@N/how-i-lost-my-50-000-twitter-username-24eb09e026dd#.253of5gmx).

So why companies do this? 2FA is useless if they disable on a per-request basis without any check. The 2FA is supposed to help when your email is compromised.

So basically, use a social login on 500px or don't rely on the 2FA because it doesn't works. I'm happy that now i can login, but breaking my security this way is not funny and no companies should do this, that's why I post it here, for awareness.
