My point was transactional emails does not hit any spam filters. And since email services tracks how many of emails were opened, i am pretty sure 'we have been hacked' will be opened quite often and will never be in spam folder.
> I provided the very best and most recent research for the absurd position that animals supposedly have their own animal gods

You did nothing of the sort. You provided a link to a video of an anthropologist describing chimpanzee behaviour and indulging in a little light speculation about why they're doing what they're doing.

Nobody is claiming that animals believe in god(s), rather I'm disputing your bizarre assertion that you know that they don't. There is no way to tell.
I started reading through the docs and found it very similar to Knockout.js. Is here anyone who used both to tell the advantages of Vue?

> I'm surprised the number is even as high as 27%.

Every statement of company values I have ever read has been very bland, essentially a bunch of motherhoods that virtually no one would ever disagree with. Who ever had a problem with "innovation" or "communication"? A statement that actually made some choices, that drew some actual lines in the sand, would be very welcome. Imagine a company that said something like this:

"We are high performers. We recruit only the highly accomplished, and reward those who do great work far above common standards for our industry. We cull the laggards ruthlessly."

or

"We acknowledge a duty to act in the interests of our employees, customers, and stockholders, even beyond strict legal requirements. If we absolutely have to choose among these groups, the stockholders come first. Note that the list does not include suppliers, the government, or the general public."

or

"We believe in hierarchy. It's the only way to effectively organize the efforts of thousands of people. Your boss has done something to earn our trust in ways you have not. Accordingly, in a dispute between you and them, we will almost certainly side with them. If you have serious conflicts with them, we recommend you leave."

As I understand, transactional email is often triggered by a user itself (new account creation, forgot password, etc). By definition, those are sent spread out over time.

This is - at least from a spam filter's perspective - a huge email broadcast, more akin to a news letter mailing or a spam run.

And semantics aside, a lot of those 43M users will consider the email to be unsolicited (didn't remember they signed up, don't care about computer security, etc). They will happily report such an email as spam, adding to the training set.
My anecdote: I was brought in to help with an AdWords campaign for an ecommerce site. I did some keyword research, ran some small campaigns to get some CTR and conversion metrics, then kicked off a bigger campain, pruning keywords as needed to ensure CTR stayed up and we didn't get a low CTR slap on the account which results in CPC skyrocketing. It was chugging along at a pretty good ROI. At that point I turned it over to the person who is named as the contact on the account with instructions on how to keep it running. A couple days later they got a call from someone at Adwords offering to "help", and they recommended turning on display ads. A few days of that and the CTR had plummeted, CPC prices had skyrocketed, and ROI tanked and the account was ruined - couldn't get a decent CPC due to the CTR hole that had been dug.

Thanks Adwords support.

> (Similarly, I would not be surprised if a face recognition NN worked better on Europeans rather than Chinese, for the prima facie reason that they have more variable facial features and other aspects like multiple hair colors other than black.)

You might be surprised to learn that to Chinese people, westerners all look more or less the same. To Africans, white people look more or less the same. Our biological hardware is great at distinguishing minute differences in things (especially people) we are very familiar with, while we automatically start generalizing about things we are less familiar with.

For comparison: a metal fan may be able to distinguish a dozen distinctly different styles of Norwegian Black Metal, while to outsiders it's all loud white noise made by people dressed like undead clowns.

I had to look up the SoC used, it's MediaTek's Helio X20 with ten cores: http://mediatek-helio.com/x20/. The cores are:

2x Cortex-A72 @ 2.1GHz ~ 2.3GHz
4x Cortex-A53 @ 1.85GHz
4x Cortex-A53 @ 1.4GHz

That sure is a lot of cores (and the rest of the features sound nice too, like the support for a 32 megapixel camera). Quite the impressive piece of technology to put in a phone-sized form factor, really.

I thought that «race» is a social construct not a scientific one and thus can't be relied on as a deciding factor in a scientific experiment or endeavor like face detection.
I have a Herman Miller Sayl (http://www.hermanmiller.co.uk/products/seating/performance-w...), which is a bit cheaper than an Aeron and also, I think, more comfortable for those who don't like the mesh. They come in fairly cheerful colours - I have a white one with a bright orange seat. I'm not sure they're as ergonomically sound as an Aeron, but I've been very happy with mine for the last five years (I did tear one of the armrests in an office move, but they sent a replacement free of charge).
React alone in itself is pretty small library but the pieces that you put together to it (redux, react-router, react-redux, webpack/browserify) might be a big hurdle for beginners.
From the point of view of a spam filter, there isn't really any difference between a "transactional" (what a horrible name, but not your fault that the industry has adopted it) email and any other email.

"Transactional" emails simply have some distinctive elements, such as the first and last name of the customer, which make them less likely to be filtered out.
This is really cool, actually. And the reason I think it's actually good to be high on HN, not just the 'ooooh rust, upvote derp!' is this:

This is a point release that they don't need to do - on the grounds that it's not a bad time to do one, but it should help in the future to do point releases quickly if there is a real need to (security, etc).

There are three ways to do it

1) post and patiently wait for your points to rise. You may skew or bend your opinions to maximize gains or post honestly from the heart/mind

2) gather a group of freinds and upvote eachothers posts. I find there are many lurkers here that seem to attempt to control narrative by doenvoting without posting responses.

3) create a few bot accounts abd write a script that upvotes withthese accounts on every post. This is probably the most reliable way and I would guess how crap/duplicate articles consistently reach the front page.

I simply won't buy it until there's a Linux version. It's pretty much my rule for games these days...if I have to reboot to play, I know I'll almost never play, so I just don't buy Windows-only games.

I only switched to Civ V from IV because it has a Linux version (and Civ IV does not, though it does run reasonably well under Wine, though I hate the fiddling required to keep Wine and GPu drivers happy through OS upgrades and such). Civ V runs as well under Linux as it does under Windows; not perfect, mind you, but it's not perfect under Windows either.

My personal criteria

- go as fast as you can

- maximize likelyhood things wont break

- keep things organized for reusability in the future

- use popular technologies so that you can all "speak the same language" when collaborating with a team

- always strive to be capabale of anything.

I do it by building stuff
Why did you switch away from DRF JSON API? We used it for one project, then realized how much of a hassle it was to get nested representations of data (last time I checked, it didn't just work out of the box). But going back and changing to Ember Django Adapter is a lot of work, since we have some custom AJAX calls.

For a new project where we were starting from scratch, we stuck with Ember Django Adapter.
Looks like a great opportunity for switching them off to get extra power saving. I haven't seen this used before - is there any known phone with mixed frequency cores on the market?

While I agree with your overall summary, I find it odd that you skip the issue of whether he had special access/ability or is just just one contractor among a group of essentially all NSA employees and contractors given access to a library of all of this information (as stated in a previous article.)

Given the NSAs general behavior and the nature of the Snowden leak in comparison to Manning's, I believe it is more credible that they have virtually everything at a single (and lowest) clearance and compartment, so this:

> If I had to guess, the most likely outcome here is going to be that we are talking about someone with very serious mental health issues who NSA had no business putting within 1000 miles of the information he managed to hoard in his house.

Is simultaneously true and a deflection from how incredibly inevitable this was and how incredibly incompetent they are as an institution. I am all for splitting their capabilities across existing agencies where it makes sense and cancelling programs all together where it doesn't.
Perhaps it also depends on your learning history.

Right now I live in Germany, and speak pretty ungramatically, but from being here I copy a lot of everyday idiom without really understanding it. So what I would like is the opposite of what you are looking for: confidence that my German sentences (especially written ones) are formally correct.

I don't mind if that makes me look like a well taught foreigner. Right now I sound like a badly taught foreigner.
The more important thing here is that there is currently no reason to believe that it's a black hole - although it would be cool to have access to that sort of experiment.
Yeah that and then also the stuff you have to do to get async working like redux-thunk and redux-saga.

I haven't actually built anything with these yet so maybe in practice it's ok but it definitely looks ugly.
The company I work for has an app built with Angular 1.x (the backend is .NET). We started sensing that Angular was not best choice, especially when working with 3rd party components. There are other factors to, but they have been already mentioned in other comments. Long story short, we had enough of wrapping everything in $timeout and started looking at alternatives.

After some consideration, we were left with choosing between Vue.js and React. Coming from Angular the biggest plus was two-way-binding, Vue.js had a slight advantage. We then converted a "module" (not in JS jargon) using both frameworks.

In our experience, when switching from Angular 1.x to Vue.js, there's a sense of not changing much (we were still "declaring" logic in the templates) but nonetheless doing things better, simpler and faster. The React version needed a bit more time investment (we had no prior experience in our team; a colleague from another project helped us a bit by showing us how he implemented a project using React). In the end we chose React due to the wonderful combination between it and TypeScript. We suddenly had no more string templates and refactoring was a breeze (there are, of course other benefits as well).

What I'm trying to say is that, if you have Angular 1.x experience it's easier to switch Vue. I had fun porting the "module" to Vue and would have happily worked with it if the team had not chosen React. I consider "mixins" to be one of its killer features (would have made a lot of things easier with our app). Having said that, I don't consider React that hard to grasp and don't regret that the team picket it over Vue. As long as you remember the lifecycle, programming with it can be fun and easy. The React/TypeScript combination compensates for the lack of mixins and two-way-binding (I know, MobX, but I'm talking about the "vanilla" versions).
Thanks - my technical prowess would probably stop me from botting the system... so I think I'll stick with heart and mind stuff.

HTML's horrors are highly context sensitive. One of its most generic sins is the poor support for hypertext. Various predecessors did a better job at this (Hyper-G, HyTime). Anchor- and URI-based hyperlinks are a rather insufficient solution, and I think the web would've benefitted from a more extensive and extensible architecture.

Speaking of extensible, HTML has the "class" attribute. Awesome. Something better would've spared us a lot of template languages in the first place. Not looking at you, XSLT.

And when we deviate too much from both HTML's and its ancestor SGML's original purposes, the syntax gets really ugly. Explicit end tags make sense if the beginning of your document's <chapter> is more than a terminal's length out of sight, but when used in something you build UI elements out of (or where content isn't immediately there), the verbosity hurts. Never mind the general XML problem of sub-tags vs. attributes.

At least the amount of different standards is getting better. Parsing still is way more complicated than it needs be.

And let's not even start with the lateness and insufficiency of CSS.

As bad as it was as a hypertext markup language, it's even worse as core structure for this weird NeWs-like quasi-PostScript we're squeezing HTML/CSS/JS into, for lack of a better alternative.
Question for you guys: I'm planning to putting down some time into learning java for the higher stuff along with C the coming year. I know the very basics of C and java, but after looking into the documentation for rust I got that feeling of "oh man, this really looks fun to get into."

Is Rust "mature" enough to start to dabble with and actually put down some hours into (and thus replace C in my plan)? Only hobby projects so far.

First & last name in email alone doesn't guarantee to hit inbox. Huge free email services use social 'signals' as open rates, 'this is spam', 'this is not spam' as well as IP reputation i mentioned earlier to determinate if email hit inbox.

So, there is obviously a difference in those metrics between simple notification 'your account have been hacked. change password' and 'hey, we haven't seen you for ages'. As email system notice high user involvement it will never ever block such emails. Actually, i think it will increase IP reputation.

Another example is the Malmö City Tunnel, drilled right under Sweden's third-largest city. $0.96 billion for 17 km (it even completed under time and under budget).

To be fair though, the geology in the area presents no special challenges.
