Similarly, we should also cover the cost of insurance to cover areas contaminated from coal fly ash spills (including waste seepage downstream, not just direct coverage).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_Fossil_Plant_coal_fly...

If other power sources had to factor in the full costs of such contamination they would be uneconomical as well. We need to have power if we want to have nice things, it's purely a question of figuring out how to do it in the most responsible way possible.

For that matter we should probably also factor in upstream contamination - landscape destruction due to large-scale strip mining for coal [1], or pollution from lithium/neodymium refining and silicon fabrication. These are measures where uranium mining has essentially zero pollution but both coal, solar, and wind all have fairly significant pollution footprints.

That's the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.

Some parts of the Constitution apply to non-citizens, some parts don't. For example, the 14th Amendment makes a distinction on this point--note the use of "citizens" vs. "any person":

No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I don't know. Escapism before the advent of technology generally meant writing letters, reading books, walking, drinking, and visiting friends. All these activities seem to promote mental health and productive behavior compared to digital media. Digital media generally discourages socializing (or at least not real human interaction), discourages sleep, promotes a lack of physical exercise, et al.

Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not trying to argue; just talking out loud about my perceptions as a Software Engineering, Civ5, and CSGo player.

It's open source, you provide code so people contribute by reporting issues or contributing code, documentation, artwork, etc. So no.

Then, collaboration is saying what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. If you are not prepared to receive feedback, try another activity not open source.

Then, why did I say a bug in a library like this is no joke? From experience. Some years ago I was asked to solve a production incident that was caused by a redis wrapper similar to this one. After it was fixed, the impact was estimated to be $1 million dollars, which caused a project to be canceled and the entire team to be laid off. Those people had absolutely no responsibility in the incident.
As an outsider observing the US election the statement of yours "Don't vote for candidates next month receiving large donations from Google" strikes me as ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong, your logic is correct. But, in order for politicians to play the game they need large donors like Google. So, if they don't take money from Google they'll just take it from someone else with an agenda. The real solution is to vote for candidates pushing for campaign finance reform (reading Lawrence Lessig may be insightful)
It seems like his tweet defends the possibility of it being illegal, but not the idea that somehow it could possibly be legal for CNN & "the media" while still illegal for everyone else, which seems like the most absurd part to me.

I guess he never explicitly said it was legal for CNN -- maybe he was claiming that CNN is generously taking on all that legal risk so the rest of us don't have to?

The part on the custom keyboard is interesting. It's Telegram's way of doing FB Messenger's menus. If chats are browsers and bots are web sites and the output in the chat is HTML (and the bot API is what?), I wonder if there will be a standardization effort or if we'll have to deal with a fragmented and incompatible world. Ok, there are cross platform tools but with such a different UI/UX it can't end well. I definitely look forward to a common subset of functionality and API calls.

Or we just wait one or two years. This wave is going to be much faster than the web and the smartphones ones. I guess it will end soon in the usual 90-5-2-1-1-1 distribution, especially if WhatsApp opens to bots with the very same API and UI of Messenger (FB+WA are the #1 chat in more than 80% of the countries.)
> He's Australian after all and has no stake in this election

Increasingly I think every citizen of the world has a stake in this election, given how global the reach of the US is.

Either the internet is out due to a routine failure, or it was shut down intentionally. The same number of assumptions are made in either case, so Occam's Razor doesn't apply.

> Isn't that the point? Risk=0 and all.

Well, the short-term real returns are negative, and the long-term real returns will also be negative if the Fed ever raises interest rates in the next few decades. There is also good evidence that the official inflation rate is being artificially suppressed by the government, which means real returns are significantly lower across the board.

So if you're holding this up as a decent alternative to buying equities, I think it falls pretty flat.
It can be difficult to get "hard data" about a topic, as most of us certainly don't have that available in our day to day work. The best you can hope for is to find somebody else's academic research, and then riff on it in an understandable, enjoyable, manner, I guess.
I'll answer with a book, which is Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco.

To (poorly) summarize the book, which has nothing directly to do with Jews, the protagonists create an imaginary secret society to take over the world conspiracy theory style for the sheer role playing hell of it, and they LARP the heck out of it until the world responds back to them as if they're real, with some pretty chilly consequences. Sorcerers Apprentice and "don't call up what ye can't put down" and all that kind of stuff. Heck of an interesting book.

So say you wanted to make an imaginary secret society to take over the world kinda like Eco's book. So your secret society would be closed to outsiders, foreign language, unusual rites, unusual lifestyle and food requirements, a cultural belief in prioritizing taking over finance, academics, mass communication and PR, entertainment, economics, professions in general so as to lead the society in ways that help your group over all others. Distributed all over the world including in revolutionary areas, communist areas. Very racially conscious WRT helping each other out in preference over other races (opposite of devoutly progressive white people). In, but eternally intentionally separate from, the community (opposite of a melting pot culture). Add a few centuries of interesting historical behavior such as usury at both high and low levels of society and some serious allegiance issues with the community you're temporarily residing in. In other words they're LARPing as something right out of a conspiracy theory book. So that's the imaginary theoretical conspiracy theory subject... which happens to sound culturally Jewish, the above is just their thing, what they do.

Groups that don't have cultural problems generally do the opposite of the Jews. They abandon the old language, maybe even the old countries religion. Cut back on the traditional food or add ethnic recipes to the local mix either way the food isn't unusual anymore. Don't try to run the place at least until you're a member of the place. Be fair to the locals not your own people first above all the locals. Patriotic to the local country first and back home a distant second. None of that is religiously or culturally possible to Jews, so they tend of have a bit of a rough time fitting in.

The moral of the Eco book is if you LARP, if you LARP really hard, the truth no longer matters and the worlds gonna come down on you like a stack of bricks, and right or wrong has little to do with how much the impact is gonna hurt. Welcome to human nature.
"Cache-Control: private"

Google has to be respecting Cache-Control headers, right? Set your AMP pages to return that. Then they won't be allowed to cache them.

The concept is fantastic. I do think that some details need to be ironed out for it to be developer-friendly.

Good:
1) I love higher abstraction for things that just work. I hate writing boilerplate code to do simple stuff. JS and Redis caching is one that I often have to write boilerplate code for.
2) Cheap and simple way to improve performance.

Bad:
1) Lacking fall-back mechanism and transparency about what would happen if error occurs, connection dies, etc.
2) One common reason (at least for me) people use redis caching instead of local caching is to have caching across difference servers or even services. How do you deal with conflict resolution and asynchronous operations?

It's pretty well known that Assange has a vendetta against Hillary Clinton. Just searching for Assange Clinton on Google brings up lots of articles on the subject.
I work for several large newspaper publishers. We have been getting pushed to get all of our content optimized for the AMP experience as to not get left behind. As stated by others though this is good for the end consumer, not so much for the newspaper industry itself.

One of the biggest gripes is getting our paywall model onto the AMP sites, as we have very little input as to how that is done. It also takes ages to hear back about requests/suggestions with little feedback as to why they think its a bad idea.
Suggestion: create a new profile and test if downvoting happens due to you or the article you post?
1/ Unless you have dumped massive datasets of classified USG data I fail to see how your situation is similar to Assange's. What might be coincidental for you is not when it comes to JA.

2/ Since you post on HN I guess you sure understand that there is no need to alter the physical layer if you want to ostracize a subnetwork from the Internet.
You can promisify redis during initialization and then use redis operations using promises.

You can still handle exceptions thrown by JSON.parse/stringify functions. Otherwise you can document that your functions are going to throw. (jsdoc: @throws)

You cannot assume a specific redis setup. If there's an intended redis setup then specify it in the README file.

Add an inline comment around your debugging code, e.g: (// FIXME: Do not check-in), so you can remove it while double-checking what you are committing.
Technology and human knowledge advanced. Human nature didn't.
Abstractions might benefit deeply from language, but I don't see a tautology here. I suspect that anyone who does a lot of abstract thinking (math, software design, visual arts, etc.) spends time engaging with abstractions that have no names or linguistic references, and which may never manifest in named constructs. It can be a relief to have such a "mental thing" become concrete enough to attract a name -- now we have more tools to manipulate it with, and we can communicate it more effectively -- but that doesn't always happen. And when it does, sometimes you have to discard some of the interesting parts in order to wedge the thing into a nameable compartment: it's not really the same abstraction any more.

In software design, sometimes I know that I am working within a certain project-specific "space" in my head that informs the decisions I'm making. It has structure, influenced by the structure of the project and by my problem-solving approach; but there aren't any words in there, and I'd be hard pressed to give it a better name than "a mental model." And yet it's a palpable "thing," it's often unique to the specific project, and it is useful in getting the work done -- I definitely notice when I get distracted and lose track of it, and recognize it when it I find it again.

I'm trying hard not to sound all fancy and mystical about this -- it's not magical stuff. It's just tricky to talk about kinds of abstractions that don't lend themselves well to being named. :)

> I implore you to consider something objective, countable, and measurable. Like people helped for money spent, rather than genuineness of kindness or blooming of intent.

I don't think we disagree there. I even attended a conference (the Effective Altruism Summit) on just this topic. I also put my money where my mouth is. The only reason I spend time on any of this is because I've spent more than a little time introspecting on my true motives.

Maybe I can be more precise in what I'm trying to communicate.

Take two people with equal capacities for analytical reasoning and ask them to solve some human problem. Suppose that in the first person, the realization of empathy has not deeply taken root.

Even if they generate superficially similar solutions, the first will likely be infused with a self-serving agenda in ways that will become visible in myriad details of its implementation. (In fact, without such an agenda, the first person wouldn't ever consider solving the problem on his own in the first place.)

I'm not talking about a sociopath here. I'm talking about a mostly decent human being, whose mind is nevertheless generally too busy to perceive the tremendous amount of need around him (or else regards it disdainfully). This describes me (though hopefully a little less in recent years) as well as the vast majority of my colleagues.

To anyone thinking of voting for HRC... I get it, she's ostensibly better than Trump.

But she's still horrible. We have serious problems, problems that will destroy all faith in Government, if left unchecked -- and problems HRC won't address because she's too busy exploiting and expanding them.

She prefers 0 transparency -- this runs in total contradiction to democratic values. Anyone who opposed the levels of secrecy under Bush / Cheney should also oppose HRC.

The choice isn't Trump or HRC, the choice is to vote your conscience.

I think you're making an assumption that I disagree with the conclusion of the article when in reality, I don't. My initial reaction was that it was overly exclusive and in a way, it is. They don't give a chance to those with no experience doing this kind of thing, which makes the bar for someone with no experience that much higher.

However, I don't think this is wrong, especially for such a large conference. If this were a smaller conference then I think it would actually be overzealous, but that is not what I think in this case, which is why I said it was only my initial reaction.

I would also like to add that the example summary given shows more than just enthusiasm, it shows knowledge of topic as well as the ability to convey that information in a concise and reasonable way. So, a more apt comparison would be not hiring said person to build your brand new POS system just because their academics were good and make a nice resume (just without job experience).
