>> [...] Prosecutor slandered Assange.

> None of this is true. You don't say anything in support of it, so I can't say much in response.

It's well documented. He was interviewed in Sweden and left weeks later after notifying the police. That means he isn't a fugitive.

Sweden has also conducted interviews with suspects in foreign countries during the period of time they've been trying to make Assange return, showing that they can if they want to. This means they are choosing not to advance the case while loudly declaring otherwise. That's the process deviation.

> It's not clear what "making whistleblowing specifically legal" would mean, or how it would achieve this.

A declaratory judgement that Assange's alleged actions pertaining to leaks would not be against Swedish law even if committed on their soil. With that there would be no legal basis for extradition.

> Plus, you know for sure that if they convicted Assange in absentia, he'd then start complaining that the verdict was invalid because he couldn't attend the trial!

Just because you would lie doesn't mean Assange would. I think that if they asked him to appear remotely via video, with the world watching, and serve a fair sentence in an Ecudorean prison if found guilty, that he would abide by the results.

> How would they get him out of the embassy to make him serve the sentence?

Assuming he didn't comply willingly, I'm sure if they asked Ecuador nicely, with a well-respected judicial result in hand, that Ecuador would transfer him to one of their prisons. But even if not, house-arrest has proven successful so far.

> You complain (falsely, I think) that the prosecutor hasn't followed "standard procedure", and yet you are urging others to ignore the law completely.

Of course I'm urging people to deviate - when to follow the procedure would cause a greater injustice. Humanity 101.

I'm pointing out the deviations of the prosecutor to explain the irregularities that people would be calling to have investigated. It's not a baseless fishing trip.
I stand corrected. I just received the 7.1 developer preview for the Nexus 6P and no Google Assistant.
Don't be daft. The non-voters are the ones who don't care. They don't care about xenophobia doing its thing. They don't care that Hillary may be corrupt. They don't care about the fact that Trump wants to carry out extrajudicial killings of people who might be related to terrorists. They don't care he wants more extreme forms of torture than waterboarding. Get real the people who aren't voting probably would make the country worse.
No Circus
No but it should imbue you with a sense of perspective about how much control you really have over kids, and how kids are all different requiring different ways of handling, and to not leap to judge other parents because you've been through enough shit yourself as well.
Wanted to add that while it is hard to judge the speed, if it would happen to be subsonic then I guess it technically is a pressure front and not a shock front as it is when supersonic, if I've understood the distinction correctly.
Cool, but much less useful than the full suite of Spring projects (which is why I love Spring in the first place, it's basically batteries included but everything remains modular so I can pick and choose what I want). .Net Core is a great stepping stone, but between deployment headaches (I can just run yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk to get a JVM and run a spring-boot app, .Net Core forces me to bundle the runtime right now) and the lack of a cohesive integrated suite of components keeps my heart with Spring (even if I'm forced to use .Net at work more often than not).
No one has found ANYTHING criminal or scandalous? Have you not paid attention or are you purposely blinding yourself?

We could go on for hours about what's been released so far... enough that multiple leaders have been forced to resign...

How much are you getting paid to lie so blatantly?
> men assume that women aren't competent in mathematical and technical fields at first glance and presume without cause that they need it explained to them by those men.

Wow, what a minefield.

I don't expect anybody to be competent in mathematical or technical fields, so I generally start from the beginning until somebody says "Oh, I already worked with this particular tech stack this is the problem I can't figure out."

Immediately attributing that to the fact that they're women and the main thing they need is explanation, by a man, that's a huge leap.

Calling it Mansplaining is horrible. Like somebody else pointed out, condescending is the gender neutral way to say it, and calling it mansplaing indicates it's problem exclusive to men. Can Caitlyn Jenner mansplain? Can Oprah mansplain?
I love how simple and clean your site is, I would use it just because of that. Nice work!
I'm not sure which you are using to form your hypothesis, but I find the notion that intelligence is unnatural, or that the application of intelligence is unnatural, or that the products of intelligence are unnatural to be rather unsatisfying. I take it as a capitulation to marketing forces more than any sort of scientific perspective.
Is it something different from the /tokens endpoint? Do they have any protection against pushing your data directly that way?
You could just try sending a dude you want to get to know better a Facebook or Twitter DM suggesting a beer or two. I don't know. Maybe the "harpies" are after the men hanging out at bars where you are. That trick seems to work pretty well for me.
> If the possible harm had mattered, voters would've held the DNC responsible for their corruption (Bernie Sanders would've been a far better candidate for Democrats to run).

Let's be real. Yes, DNC absolutely wanted Clinton to win, not Sanders, and helped Clinton while hurting Sanders. But ultimately, the voters chose Hillary, not Bernie, by large margins [1], so even without the DNC's bias I find it highly unlikely Sanders could have won.

Rent is a function of wages. Land prices are a function of credit * wages. That's the point, the system scales up credit to absorb all productivity.
spent an hour putting up a Google form and static site on a cheap Digital Ocean instance.

Now I feel like the Old Geek (I'm 32):

What's the deal with Digital Ocean? If the website is static and receives content by manual copy-pasting from a Google sheet (as outlined in the article), why bother with Droplets and Storage and all the other configuration? Why is good old web hosting (the kind where you just upload your html/php/js via FTP and it all just works) not good enough for this? Really curious.
There's so few children abducted by strangers that worrying about it is going to take your focus off of the real risks: Drugs, sex, peer pressure, and abuse at the hands of other children. Later on you have to deal with teen drivers and all the risks that come with that.

If you educate your kids about the risks, give them the tools to protect themselves, and give them advice on how to handle their often difficult social situations, you'll do much better than never letting them out for fear of them being molested, stabbed, or robbed.
In my experience often understanding how stupid the points of other people are makes me hate them much more than if I simply would not understand them. Is this what you evangelize?
> If I were your employer, I would definitely consider firing you because I do not believe my company should employ people who are tolerant of racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia and political violence.

But where does that end? You could use that against line of reasoning against literally any political topic.

You could just as easily say, "I would definitely consider firing you for being pro-choice, because I do not believe my company should employ people who are tolerant of murder".

or "I would consider firing you for being Christian, because I do not believe my company should employ people who are tolerant of discrimination, judgement, and torture."
Using Spreedy to act as a 'white' proxy to their API would make it an even harder job for Stripe to detect the fraudsters. What would be your solution to the problem?
I share your assessment about evil. It doesn't exist.

Clinton is absolutely corrupt, and indeed corruption is unfortunately standard practice on K Street. As a practiced public official in America she does not shine out as an exception.

We do not share the assessment of the 'other' candidate but I don't know how productive that conversation would be. For me, neither candidate are aligning themselves with a departure from the practices and policies of the state that are most critical to me and that I think are crucial to the next generation of Americans (hint: civil rights). I do not assess Clinton or Trump as reestablishing the propaganda protections that have been stripped of the legal code, neither are promising reductions in surveillance, support for whistleblowers, curtailment of illegal wars and actions overseas, reestablishment of checks and balances, and foreign policy that doesn't make a joke out of 'democracy', 'human rights' and 'civil society' by making them strategic and politicized terms.

No thanks.
Yeah, but then I'd have to go BSD, which at this point is really going to be an obstacle.
Surprised this didn't make any mention of Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes, which laid a lot of the groundwork for concurrent message passing.

The data was not encrypted. It was often the case that the west had access to the data before the Soviets, due to a better network of radio telescopes.
The point is that the assertion you attempted to make in favor of the idea that GS just of course wouldn't take large unhedged positions -- "they run a tight shop" -- just doesn't have a great deal of solid backing.
Shouldn't it be said improving Python performance? Is this a bugfix of Python that can't be 'fixed' in the initial software? Maybe I'm just reading it oddly.

Sidenote: I wonder how improving Python performance with D fares considering it links up to C pretty nicely.
Digital Ocean is just a simple VPS provider - I wouldn't even call it cloud.

The usual cPanel PHP 5.4 shared hosting is consistently unreliable, insecure and a generally overall bad idea. Who would you actually even trust to run it?
I understand your concerns as seller, but as a buyer located outside the US, blacklisting freight forwarders is really annoying, as it blocks access to legitimate buyers as well.

The government-owned postal service in New Zealand, NZPost, run a service known as YouShop https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop specifically to allow Kiwis to get access to products that are either only sold overseas, or would cost ridiculous amounts of money to ship via those sellers. They operate by providing a personal address in US, the EU, or China, backed by third-party freight forwarders.
I wasn't trying to silence views I disagree with. I want to promote discussion.

It's just a matter of maintaining the signal to noise ratio - when it comes to political discussions here, there is already too little of the former and too much of the latter, and too many people grasping for the low hanging rhetorical fruit. But copying and pasting a comment isn't discussion.
No, we don't have internet censorship in Australia. The idea was mooted and then shot down after backlash. That government was also voted out.

We also have no such regulation regarding the breast sizes of porn actresses. The refusal of classification is done on a "We'll know it when we see it" basis, much in the same way that many US laws are interpreted.

Your comments about religion are inaccurate in that we do not allow our faith to dictate our politics in the same way as the US. A 2011 Census question put Christianity at about 60%, while in the US it's at 70%. We do not have parts of the country that have a reputation for being deeply religious (unlike the American South) and we do not reference a deity of any kind in any official pledge whatsoever. We don't even have a pledge of allegiance that we force on our children in schools.

Our country has real problems (i.e humanitarian treatment of refugees and the environment) but we aren't the kind of place you're talking about.

Our High Court isn't a political game, our banks didn't fall apart during 07-08, and our worst terrorist attack in the past 10 years wasn't even bad enough to be considered a "mass murder" under the FBI's definitions.

One key difference between Australia and the US is that our Parliament can be dismissed if they are at a gridlock. This prevents the kind of gross obstructionism that has prevented the US government from functioning properly in recent years.

The other key difference is that we have compulsory voting.
I don't ever wonder this when hiring. It's very common to see someone who tried management for a while and didn't like it or wasn't good at it, and have concluded that they love coding for a living.

Technical management isn't for everyone, and isn't a natural progression from being a software engineer. The transition is very difficult for most people.
Our local time warner affiliate has been awesome in contrast, and their network management is awful.

Seems weird.
Thank you CWuestefeld, for elevating this conversation by being so patient and reasonable.
> A classic liberal would have said "I may not agree with what you say, but I will die for your right to say it." What happened to our country?

The people on the other end of the spectrum started threatening to shoot them with the guns they already owned.

While that has been going on for quite a while (Phil Gramm and his quote about hunting Democrats with dogs, for example), it's probably within the past decade or so that people have started taking the threats more seriously.

Words matter. Your actions matter more, but words are the precursor and it's impossible to know if the person on the other end of the internet is really kidding or not.

Being Christian does not imply being tolerant of tolerant of discrimination, judgement, and torture. Being a Trump supporter does mean giving support to Trump and all he stands for.
Get worker's compensation now--don't wait. Physical therapy can help a lot! You'll have to improve your posture and start taking regular breaks (I use MacBreakz software). A stand/sit desk (I use a Jarvis) will probably help as will a good chair (I got a DXRacer). There are various accessories. I prefer the Kinesis Advantage 2 (http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/shop/advantage2/) and Apple's Magic Trackpad 2 (which fits in the center) of the Advantage.

The most important thing is not to wait to get treatment. Also, what works for you depends on how you have injured yourself so try out all the different things available and come up with your own setup. And if you're employed, getting on worker's comp has been a life saver (and probably saved me a few thousand dollars also, not to mention regular insurance maxes out after a small number of therapy visits). Some areas (bay area for example) have support groups. I haven't been but I hear they can help point you to good doctors / therapists. There's also a bunch of literature, books and websites out there with more detailed info than I can provide here (search for "repetitive stress injuries").
I like the idea of firewalld, but what I don't like is the way you have to do things like --list--all-zones and other nonsense. The end results are good, it's just how you have to implement them that's ridiculous.

At least Ansible provides a tidy wrapper for it.

git has a reputation for being annoyingly quirky, but firewalld is leaps ahead in terms of marching to the beat of its own drum.
Isn't it wrong? A person that is not an US citizen, that has never been to US, will be extradited to USA and will probably be convicted to a 10 or 20 years in prison unless he can afford a lawyer that costs several hundreds dollars per hour (because you have to pay for a "fair" trial in USA) for doing the same things NSA does every day. Since when US courts have jurisdiction over other countries?

Obviously this person's rights for a fair trial are violated.

If he is a Russian citizen, shouldn't he be judged in Russia?

Or should we apply the same rules to American citizens? For example, everyone working is NSA or its contractors can probably be prosecuted for taking part in a conspiracy to break into computer systems and intercepting private communications. Should muslim countries arrest any US tourist that have earlier posted pictures with Allah in Facebook and extradite them to Iran for fair trial by Sharia law? And what about people who develop software to bypass Great Chinese Firewall? Should they be extradited to China? US wanted to get Julian Assange, should not China get its enemies too?
Yeah, Gamergate was probably closer to an attempt to claim gaming as a space for gamers (which might sound tautological, but the term "gamer" was heavily politicized by the gaming press because... it's complicated). It's not a good example in any case.

The example that personally comes to mind is a Daily Show segment a long time back about an all-male retreat, hosted by one Samantha Bee and shot through with mockery of the idea it was needed, condescension, and the general assumption that she understood men better than they did. (This idea that women know men's own needs, desires and experiences better than they do seems pretty commonplace. Think I've even seen men accused of "mansplaining" their own personal experiences.)
So I went to school in a country that is notorious for forcing kids to specialize early - the UK. In my age cohort, at age sixteen we had to pick just three subjects to study for the next two years. I chose 'pure and applied mathematics' as one of those three subjects. Some people chose 'pure mathematics' and 'applied mathematics' as Two of their subjects. I guess, vaguely, that doing the expanded applied maths would have included more calculus (not sure what that might have entailed - more second order differential equation stuff maybe?) - but there was definitely no point where I was faced with the choice of 'should I do a bit of calculus, or a lot of calculus?'. 16 year olds are not good at knowing how much calculus they need to learn. I was pretty happy just choosing 'do I want to learn some mathematics, no mathematics, or a lot of mathematics?' - and leaving it up to the school to figure out how much calculus to include. Based on my career since, the amount of calculus included was, it turns out, 'enough'.
I would love to see statistics taught more universally. But there's statistics and statistics.

I took a fantastic one-off class as an undergraduate called, IIRC, "Statistics for Physicists". The class taught us Bayes' Law, what tests were, what significance was, and how one might go about deriving and using simple tests. Everyone came out of the class with a very clear understanding of what statistics meant, and no one who took that class would take a statement like "this drug had a significant effect on such-and-such" without an appropriate grain of salt (specifically, how big was the effect). The class didn't include a giant grab-bag of tests.

One of my friends took a regular introductory stats class the following quarter. At one point, he asked me if I could help him do a such-and-such test (Student's t, maybe, but I don't remember which one). I asked him what he was trying to do with the test, and he didn't know.

I think it would be enormously valuable to teach most students what statistics means, what it can do, and what it can't do. I'm not sure how valuable it would be to teach everyone how to evaluate a big pile of magic statistical functions.
> > the actual capacity of the network

> Shouldn't that be enough to handle at least the actual usage given that not everyone uses it at full capacity all the time? Probably there's some capacity at which they're mostly capable except the rare event that brings in an extremely large num of users. Probably not obvious?

That sounds about right. I would expect to get my promised speeds the vast majority of the time.

Now if only we could get hard SLAs I would be really happy. (Max speed 99.9% of the month measured in seconds?)
I'm glad it helped! Sorry if it came on strong.
Operational integrity for investment bank is to a very significant degree risk management. Integrity as in having control over something not in a moral sense. In the case you referenced I'd rather see GS's counterparties taking more blame. The whole we are poor guys running multi-billion dollar funds and charging millions in fees didn't do due diligence and want to blame someone else thing is pure BS.
No, he got fired for making derogatory remarks about them. Did you read the article?
Yep, I hear about the lack of Python3 all the time, and I know our Python users are waiting for it. On the roadmap, and partially complete, but competing with some other language work at the moment.
>Being a Trump supporter does mean giving support to Trump and all he stands for

It means at least you put other things at higher priority than discrimination, torture, and promotion of violence and hatred and you are willing to at least ignore those.

In my eyes, that's simply not acceptable. We aren't talking about economical policies or debate on tax laws here, we are talking about basic human decency.
>Only 15% of American believe that Snowden is a hero, 30% call him a traitor outright and only 25% of them believe that he should be offered any type of deal/pardon.

According to that poll. I think it's a reasonable possibility that one of those buckets is shortchanged by the way polls are conducted.
Case in point, duke lacrosse players and Derrick Rose.

Heck, Derrick Rose's accuser didn't even have her name made public whereas Derrick Rose had his name dragged through the mud and had to spend plenty of time and money on lawyers. Whatever happened to the legal system being public record?

That's the best case scenario. The woman was trying to settle, but ended up trying to sue for 21 million. Again, that is the best case scenario, that you have enough time and resources to lawyer up.

If somebody accuses you of something like that when you're at work, there is no due process when it comes to HR. You can sue for wrongful termination, but that's hard to prove and requires expensive lawyers.
Congratulations you're an intolerant person.
If you provide an example of a large unhedged position that GS has on the books I'll totally believe you.
My favorite Trump-isms:

1) suggesting that America needs to threaten to default on its debts - I can imagine the recession that would ensue.

2) his idea that we need to give more unstable nations nuclear weapons and tell them to 'have fun' - hopefully everyone understands the harms of nuclear wars

3) his idea that we need to kill the innocent family members of terrorists - I doubt this will improve our war on terror

4) his idea that we need to forcibly round up and deport 11 million illegal immigrants - this crowning achievement would be the largest forced migration in human history

5) his idea that we need to punish women who have abortions

> On top of the sheer audacious difficulty of creating whole brain emulations, there's the problem of competing with boring old "narrow" AI. Surely an economist of all people should recognize the feedback loop that makes narrow AI profitable first, which attracts more investment, which unlocks more capabilities without biological emulation... how many of today's jobs are going to be left un-done by narrow AI a century from now, even if whole brain emulations are finally practical then?

This is a curious blind spot. With deep learning algorithms making easy work of master Go players, there has to be enormous untapped potential in GPGPU silicon for AI.
