People talk a lot about how Putin is an opportunist. I think he saw how bitter Assange was becoming and understood if he gave him the documents, he could step back and let him carry out his vengeance against a woman who had a huge role in forcing him to ground in the embassy ("can't we just drone this guy?"). I'm told this is a Rule of Power. But that is speculation.

JS is a language, and my opinion is that languages should be maximally flexible. They must be maximally flexible because a language has the primary function of being the medium through which an individual might transmit their ideas. Since ideas are not limited, languages must not be limited. Server-side JS is still a language. Limiting the language will limit what can be expressed in that language. So, yes, I would say it extends to server-side JS. By simply moving expression upstream it does not change my opinion.

There is that saying, "The Medium Is The Message." The more restrictive the medium, the more restrictive, the more pre-defined, the message is by default. The less restrictive the medium, the less well defined is the default message.

You can't do this with a certificate (a certificate is a digital signature, and signing with two different CA keys gives you two different signatures). I suspect it's possible to do this with two different certificates for the same server key, presenting the backup leaf certificate as one of the certificates in the "chain" - SSL clients tend to just take the entire list of certificates and find an order for them, because server operators / implementations don't reliably send them in the right order. I don't know what clients deal with this well.

Usually you'll have enough lead time to configure your servers to send the other certificate, though. All you need to do is buy it in advance and have it ready to deploy.

And yeah, with HSTS you can definitely pin multiple intermediate roots.

"But you assume Trump's statements are literally what he wants to enact."

I am exhausted by all of the requests by Trump supporters to somehow magically read the tea leaves and interpret what Trump really means to do, while ignoring everything he consistently says he will do.

Like how Trump claimed he sexually assaulted women, then many women came forward and said, yes, he sexually assaulted them, and now we are expected to not believe Trump then, and not believe any of these dozen or so women, but instead only believe Trump today, who of course would never possibly be trying to deny something that's true but politically (and maybe criminally) damaging to himself.

How about we just go back to people running for office actually saying what they intend to do, and voters taking them at face value?

(Which, by the way, is surprisingly close to how most politicians actually behave. George W. promised to cut taxes, and cut taxes. Obama actually passed something embodying a lot of his health care ideas and negotiated with our enemies like Iran. There are many other examples of politicians actually trying to do what they promised, so I think it's a little dangerous to assume a politician won't actually try to do what he says he will do.)
I agree with you. Even when it's negative news about things I don't like, I always wait to get all the facts before throwing out random theories or excuses.

Like that whole Trump sexual assault video. When it first came out, I thought it was terrible, but I waited for Trump to respond.

I wish more people would `take a measured approach` as you suggested.

this changes the way how the JVM uses Memory in certain ways and might be a huge improvement for a lot of stuff.

Compared to what JDK 9 brings, this is huge.
JDK 9 brings a Module system which was already possible (and a lot of stuff around it which didn't exist), a new GC algorithm, Tiff Image I/O, jshell, ALPN, http2 client, reactive-streams. (P.S.: not everything is complete here, but this stuff will probably be used by most)

JDK9 mostly brings stuff that was already missing and provided by other libraries. JDK10 will probably change a lot of more things in the JVM ecosystem.

I'm starting to think distraction is the root of many problems.

This is one of the two reasons that I subscribed to a dead-trees paper again. It is much easier to read in-depth articles in a newspaper in a format where there are no other distractions.

The other reason is that blue light is bad for sleep patterns and reading the newspaper at night has the opposite effect of reading from a smartphone or tablet: it makes me tired (in a good way). Of course, it helps that I am reading a newspaper which is not in my native or second language :).

"Does prism, Snowden etc not mean anything?"

I certainly haven't heard Trump defending Snowden or promising to get rid of programs like Prism.
Hmm.. I know self control has been shown to be something like a muscle that requires work and is fatigue-able. That work in itself is distracting. It's like part of you is being detoured already for your internal battle. Maybe a better strategy would be to learn how to trick yourself into really WANTING to do the work your aiming at. We're good at convincing ourselves to view things in whatever way is beneficial, and once you do that, you can focus your whole self on the task. Doing something you want to do is much more productive than doing something your trying hard to control yourself to do.

But this comes down to choosing between magnifying your talents or working on your weaknesses. We are evolutionary programmed to be very susceptible to interruptions. They were important once upon a time. We can spend effort trying to reprogram ourselves I guess. But I'd rather spend that effort elsewhere.
On the other hand, would you really accept an offer without having at least met the people you'd have to work with? Especially if you have to move across the country?
If the power supply is far away it's better to have a higher voltage due to voltage drop due to cable resistance, 24V is pretty standard AFAIK.
Yeah, I was going to say "nonymous" was etymologically superior, but then I looked up the etymology for anonymous before hitting send.

Given that the English (/Germanic) is "name" and the French is "nom", I would have expected the PIE for name to be some sort of "nVm"-ish thing, whence I expected the Greek to render it is some sort of "non"-ish thing. The actual Greek is ónoma, with the PIE being something like *hnómn. (So my PIE guess was right-ish, but the transition to Hellenic was wrong).
WWII ended with unconditional surrender IIRC.

A good modern example would be the middle east peace process, every time there are negotiations and a deal is on the table it blows up more often than not because of premature and selective release of information.

The selective part doesn't have to be intentionally i.e. in one side only releasing part of the information but simply because the other points were not settled upon yet.

Negotiations are like trying to balance an egg on a point of a needle, if they aren't they are often one sided.
I've known "regular" people in the past that have written small scale services for themselves that scrape prices daily from an airlines own booking system and then provide a service so you can track it and see if there are price fluctuations.

Not sure on the legality of it though.
So the others are reactionary, spin hypothesis and are mostly wrong. It's no wonder that few will engage with measured responses to that.
If the world is ending and the country is at stake then both sides take up pitchforks.
It's worse than that. Trump is existentially dangerous for the following reasons:

1) Questioning the legitimacy of the electoral process without evidence. This could turn the US into a powder keg if he keeps it up past election day.

2) Rejecting nuclear non-proliferation and the stability of international alliances, paired with a volatile and immature temperament, could lead to the nuclear clock ticking to midnight.

3) Proposing the blacklist people based solely on a religious test. I'm not religious, but if there was one thing I learned in Hebrew school, is that we must never again allow this.

4) Obliquely threatening his political opponent with violence and directly threatening to jail his political opponent. Does this sound like a candidate from a first world country?

> Republicans were not opposed to Obama because of his race, though for the past 8 years that has been the excuse to avoid talking about the issues.

Sure. The birther movement was about the issues.

> And once again, Liberals are not talking about Trumps positions, but merely calling him racist and sexist.

This is patently untrue. Trumps positions have been widely derided as unconstitutional and poorly thought out. The fact that his racism and sexism are talked about doesn't mean his positions haven't also been widely criticized.

> Well, the charitable view of Hillary supporters is that this is what they are doing. Otherwise, you really think journalists should be taken out by drone for publishing things embarrassing to hillary?

What are you talking about?

> You really think free speech rights should be taken away from people who make a movie critical of hillary? (That's what "Citizens United" was about - the supreme court defended free speech for a group that made a movie critical of hillary-- and since then we've been hearing how evil that ruling is.)

Citizens United was about political ad spending by corporations. It's a mischaracterization to present the case as if it were about Hillary trying to shut down a critical film. It was the FEC trying to enforce the BCRA.
Frankly, if a warrant would be useless if it weren't kept secret, I'd rather there be no warrant at all. And yes, I'm prepared to accept the consequences of that.
Evidence withheld from defense - State secrets privilege

Secret prisons - CIA black sites, Chicago detainment center

Secret warrants - FISA warrants are almost never rejected, and I'm not sure they need to be reapproved in general. They are almost never declassified, even after the wiretap is completed.
Although to be fair, it's not clearcut. If you quietly say you support someone who is openly harassing colleagues, that is basically harassment by proxy. Being less direct could actually be worse, since it's passive-aggressive.

I'm not implying that applies in this case.
>I don't know if you followed what happened to the Atheist community in the US, but its downfall was essentially the kind of witch hunt you're trying to incite.

Did we have a community? Was there a downfall? I'm an atheist and I know more people that are comfortable being openly atheist in 2016 than at any other time in my life.

Twitter Dips Below the Value of a Former Clone
They were literally selling anti-(Bill)-Clinton T-shirts with a penis joke last week. Their reputation is long since trash.

Fundamentally Assange is a partisan hack at this point who's using what stored credibility he has from his activist days to make a play at influencing a foreign election.
New Mexico contains just as many languages and vaguely sovereign states as Spain, including our own language isolate.
Sorry, given that the Wikileaks account is posting that Assange has had his internet cut off this conclusion makes no sense whatsoever.
Why is there a difference? At this point we believe that SHA-1 is vulnerable to MITMs.

There are of course plenty of SHA-1-using sites that aren't being MITMed, but there are also plenty of sites with invalid certificates that aren't being MITMed, either (or sites that are being MITMed in benign ways), and the browser doesn't distinguish between those and real MITMs.
> How is a user supposed to know the difference between untrusted because of SHA-1 deprecation and untrusted because of a MITM?

The whole reason SHA-1 is being deprecated is because it's judged no longer strong enough to protect against MITM.

So I'd say it's intentional and desirable to treat SHA-1 like MITM, rather than to try to get the user to distinguish. User's don't have the capacity to distinguish between, and shoudln't have to, any category of "someone may be viewing and/or altering the content in this connection." They are moving to judging SHA-1 such a category.
When the whole point is showing it to be a false analogy? Yes.
It was pretty clear that the account was referring to the trend of Twitter users surrounding their own names with parens as a protest.

"Not only the denigration of the ((())) symbol but also the use of the term ‘tribalist’ to imply Jews is, of course, base racism, a particular racism that Putin shares."

The idea that the "denigration" of an anti-semitic symbol is itself "base racism" is bizarre. Saying that he's using the word "tribalist" to refer to Jews is just incorrect, because the vast majority of the people who surround their names with parens are not Jewish, just doing it in sympathy. Using this accusation to associate him with Putin is just propaganda.

I think the tweet was a bit of pointless adhominem after noticing that a lot of their prominent critics seem to be a monoculture of very similar types of people. It annoys me when Wikileaks tries to act cute and smartassy (which is often), and this tweet bit them in the ass. It was this same hubris that made Assange think he had suddenly become a hot guy when he was in Sweden. Watching the video of him dancing, you can see a guy who thinks that he's finally turned into a butterfly.
> I think you read the atheist situation incorrectly. When any group grows so large it splits. There are more atheists in the US than ever and the polls indicate that number is growing.

Re: group size being the primary cause... maybe?

There are plenty of non-split groups that are larger than the size the atheism community was before elevator gate, and most split groups (say, programmers divided by programming language) seem to coexist relatively peacefully.

To me, that suggests the size hypothesis is wrong. It'll need more variables if you'd like to explain the atheism community situation this without using elevatorgate (ie "a huge divisive political battle") as the primary cause.

Re: atheist headcount, this is why I referred to the "atheism community" rather than atheism generally. While I'm glad that atheism has grown, I find myself missing the conferences :/
I like the phrase that came up on one of the 538 podcasts, basically calling them Data Deniers.

Even if you make ad hom accusations of speaker bias, i.e. "MSM is rigged against me!", it doesn't immediately invalidate the message.
> what happens when you lose your job or if your startup folds in the US or your insurance provider wont honour?

In the U.S., your insurance isn't terminated upon loss of employment. I don't know of any physical ailments whose treatments an insurer can legally opt out of insuring. I believe in the possibility of the odd exception here or there, but nothing as endemic as you suggest.

> I don't want to sound like some troll or something but theres tonnes of articles that go through the differences.

I'm a software developer in the U.S., my friends, colleagues, and other acquaintances aren't dropping dead around me for want of health insurance. Your extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Mention of "tons of articles" isn't particularly persuasive.
Well the root cause was banks being bailed out and almost nobody being punished. Doesn't really relate to automation killing off jobs in any way.
I'm not quite sure what I expected from this... I do hope it can turn into something useful that drives down some of the costs/pricing. That said, given the amount of squatting and land grabbing, I'm not sure I want it to all cost all that much less.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but $7-15 for most domains isn't killing anyone's budget. Though having better and faster moving infrastructure in most registrars would be nice.
My assessment is based on (a) personal conversations with scores of strongly left-leaning people, as well as (b) many hundreds left-leaning blog posts, videos, left-leaning podcasts, and the like. Some of this evidence pre-dates Trump's involvement in the election.

Tangent, but related: I've noticed a very strong correlation between (a) those that think racism is exclusively "prejudice plus power" and (b) those who casually engage in some of the most despicable, hateful, and violent racism that I've seen in my lifetime.

When you and your community find it very easy to wash your hands of any wrong doing simply by redefining words, you are well on your path to losing your moral compass and doing terrible things in the world.

In response to your question I've looked for a blogger that has aggregated a body of evidence in one place. The only entities I found doing that are very strongly right-leaning, and I hesitate to link to them. I think it's a shame that left-leaning media seems to be ignoring this uptick in socially sanctioned racism.
Both! Python has a fantastic eco-system and you can build lots of things using existing libraries. Go is new and different and useful for server type applications and easy to learn and you can finally figure you what everyone is bitching about when they claim Go is not a good-enough language because it doesn't support generics ;-).
NPM actually did that.

SSH on something like port 666 or 25519 also has the advantage that there's much less log chatter about failed attempts.

Plus, nmap thinks that SSH on 666 is "DOOM"
I think your analogy is a little misleading. In my opinion, the foundation is still strong, but where the foundation was for one shape of house, the additions and changes made on top of the foundation are unstable.

I do agree that for most discussions around US Federal government, the Constitution does not play an ethical or legal role.
Snobby city-dweller? Unlike... Trump?
No one implemented a better solution ;-)

Jokes aside, it seems simple but is fairly tricky, as it depends both on input data and various other parameters. For example for array_agg() or string_agg() it might be estimated from number of entries / average length. For hll it also depends on the accuracy and expected number of values to track, etc. I was considering adding another method to the API, providing a better estimate, but never got to that.

So the current code simply assumes 1KB (IIRC) per group in those cases, or something like that.

Of course, the memory estimate also depends on the number of groups, but that's an orthogonal issue.
There doesn't seem to be anything to control condensation.

Do you think this might become a problem?
Sure. We were incentivized to maximize a range of metrics, primary among which was average call length, over successive two-week periods. The value of the incentive was tied to the degree to which a given operator exceeded the global average for the call center, and there were some disqualifying conditions such as an error rate exceeding some set minimum I no longer recall. We had access to our own metrics on a daily basis, and the value calculation was published, so tracking incentive value was pretty trivial - this was well before smartphones existed, so I wrote up the formula as a TI-BASIC program that took metric values and gave back how much of a bonus I stood to receive in my next pay packet.

Customer commendations, one of which I received for the call I described, weren't figured into the incentive metric. (Or, unlike customer complaints, into much of anything else; it wasn't a job with a career path, although we did get nice little laminated plaques, the twenty or so of which I received I probably still have somewhere.) So I knew that exceeding the center average by a factor of thirty was going to unrecoverably hose my incentive metrics for the period, and I knew exactly how much doing so would cost me. But, as I said, some things matter.
Imaging advance offers new view of allergic asthma
> You don't normally have candidates insisting that the election is rigged despite having no evidence to support that assertion.

This is true, of course. But you have seen that stuff all over the right wing media, reliably, in every election of the past few decades. Trump is merely terrible at message discipline (which is to say: unlike his more mature peers, he actually believes this stuff and will repeat what he reads on Drudge); the specter of brown democrats rigging elections has been a subtext of republican electioneering forever.
Criticizing/arguing is fine.

But expelling Thiel from YC (a company which has nothing to do with politics), because of his views, is a form of punishment and discourages others from expressing their political opinions, in fear of the same happening to them.

So, it is suppression of free speech, through actions (not words) designed to intimidate.
After reading your comment -- some of the thoughts of which I have already come to myself -- I realize it could be really hard to tease apart the source of any desire I have to minimalize: do I want to because I think it's genuinely a more productive or helpful way to live, or is it all just signalling? Just curious, have you ever had any fleeting wish to own less?
Erased generics will surely stay and are a good thing. If they were removed, Scala would be in trouble (or rather, scalac would have to perform erasure itself, which in turn would mean that interop from Java wouldn't be good anymore).

What's broken in the JVM isn't erased generics but instead runtime reflection that is a lie due to erasure. Type erasure though is definitely an example of Java getting something very right for the wrong reasons.
