My wife was on birth control the first nine years of our marriage (excluding the gaps when our kids were born) and I've been responsible for the birth control for the last twenty years. That seems like a pretty fair distribution of the responsibility to me.
YIKES

It could be something that would have happened anyway... right? I am not an expert :P.
Looks like You Don’t Have Javascript Enabled

Code.gov is built on the latest web technology using Javascript. To use Code.gov, please enable Javascript so we can share all of the wonderful open source projects the Federal Government has to offer.
It's because the fix is to unfairly force VCs to invest in companies for the sake of diversity.

Entrepreneurs and VCs see one color: green. If you make money or have an idea that can make money, they will invest in you regardless of the color of your skin or gender.
Ehhh. Slowness has its benefits. But you need to know the fallout that will result.
"The Federal Source Code Policy is designed to support reuse and public access to custom-developed Federal source code. It requires new custom-developed source code developed specifically by or for the Federal Government to be made available for sharing and re-use across all Federal agencies. It also includes an Open Source Pilot Program that requires agencies to release at least 20% of new custom-developed Federal source code to the public."

That's really nice, but I think the 20% is too little. It should be at least 50%. They could still keep a critical low percentage secret.
> "forced russification"

If you follow the definition literally, then yes. Yet, Russia always was very careful with the culture of the colonies, way more careful than Britain, France and Westerners in General.

> But these are different topics.

No, actually not. Russia is always disproportionately blamed for being a cultural oppressor, however as an Empire, USSR needed a single unifying culture and language. In that respect, Russians were much less oppressing and arrogant than the British, Spaniards or French.

> You might want to look at Puerto Rico.

I want one in Texas.
What kind of gaming do you mean? Linux is still a somewhat... masochistic choice for that.
I don't understand why people love websites so much.

If a site is plaintext and has minimal JS, it's usually fine on a mobile device.

But the moment there are interactive elements or menus or web fonts or whatever else, things are visibly broken, or they become broken once you start scrolling. Even relatively inoffensive websites with simple menubars have stuttering scrolling animation.

Any decent native app doesn't animate that poorly. I'm an iOS user because design and UX are clearly valued by (non-shovelware) iOS developers. Having buttons jump around the screen or some weird JS stealing scrolling momentum would be unacceptable if it were in an app, but I visit at least one popular website a day where that's one of the problems.
How about open PACER?
Good grief NPR. Does the bizarre interpretation in TFA reflect something institutional? Should we suspect similar editorializing on every report in which men's and women's interests might be somehow be misunderstood to oppose each other?
My “Agenda” for Hacker News
I do it for that reason but also for license attribution and indicate that I didn't write it.
1. These governments are for example "donating" hundreds of millions every year to many politicians in the US. One of them is may be going to be the next president.

2. Look at the ads and sponsors in the big news channels like CNN, mostly institutions and companies owned by these countries (Qatar airways, Turkish airlines, Dubai, Abu Dhabi...), no wonder on the day of the "coup" against Erdogan, These media outlets labeled his "supporters" as pro-democracy. That never happened for Hosni Mubarak who was labeled as an evil dictator for example, he just didn't pay simply.

3. The west is trying to push the story that the conflict in Syria is just between white "the rebels" (FYI they are actually Sunni islamists) vs black "Assad" (he is a dictator yeah, but not worse then Erdogan), it is the same opninion of these governments.

4. No one is condemning or even talking about the horrific crimes like Turkey against the kurds, Saudi Arabia killing thousands of Shia in Yemen, Qatar funding militant islamists all over the world.
I don't think it is easily searchable, that would defeat the point.

One example of a suppressed book would be when the North American distributor of said books gets two shots to the back of the head. Another would be when its taken out of printing after a mere 3000 copies even though its author is a famous and well respected European professor. Another would be that its not translated into English even though it's by one of the most celebrated authors in the world. Another example would be when the author is thrown into prison under false murder charges because he's ruffling the wrong feathers. All true stories, to discover the books and the authors is an exercise for the reader.

If you look at the banned book list its usually because it offends Christian morality, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_commonly_challeng..., but offending social morals and offending (elements of) the power structure are very different.
These are great questions:

1. Solid academic background is done by analyzing the team track record and experience together with the open source activity

2. We do not pretend to predict success.. Any company that appears on the list comply to three simple roles: raised large series A, below 25 employees and in SF bay area.
The tags are there as an additional analysis that each user can decide how to interpret.

Makes sense now ?

This is a poor comparison. Over the last decade it is unlikely that the techniques and training to become a doctor have changed substantially. Sure, there are medical advances and new technologies that change how a doctor does business, but fundamentally the pace of change is slow. On the flip side, AI and ML have made significant strides within the last decade. Unless your career required you to keep up with and innovate in the space, you probably are well behind the times. A nanodegree may not stand well on its own, but coupled with previous experience it may be a way to show you are actually familiar with up to date trends and techniques on the topic.
Why don't foreign (non-US) tech firms have a larger share of the global market?
The largest tech companies appear to be localized in the US, specifically the Bay Area and Washington.

Why haven't foreign tech companies achieved the same global market penetration and saturation as US-based firms?

Examples like Samsung, Spotify, HTC, Sony, Baidu don't seem to have the same market cap nor breadth or global reach of a Google, Apple, Amazon or Microsoft.

But those countries do have talented engineers and funds to succeed. So what's stopping them?
What does this have to do with actual censorship, shutting down media, and jailing of journalists critical to Erdogan?
That characterization ("right wing garbage") is pretty much correct. Read the referenced twitter feed, which includes threats to divulge "dirt" about his workplace if he gets 500 followers.

There is a case to be made for free speech on campus, but this professor is not making it. Sad!
If it's based on the one suicide and extrapolating to a death rate of 0.3%, I'd call it a bit of a stretch. Yes that would make it the leading cause of death if it did continue, but given the tiny sample size and single occurence (which may or may not be related), I don't think you can draw any conclusion.

Given that uncertainty concluding the study to work on the drug before trialling it again makes a lot of sense.
What's unprecedented is a presidential candidate under multiple active FBI investigations for various crimes including, but not limited to, money laundering, corruption, and theft in the case of Haiti. Hillary decided to break the law. It is 100% her fault she is under active FBI investigation. She was even protected by bureaucrats in the DoJ and colluded with the media companies to protect her fragile image. Maybe if she didn't break so many laws with such blatant disregard this wouldn't be an issue.

It's just pathetic, it's not Trump's fault Hillary decided to break the law. This race would have been over a long time ago if Hillary didn't arrogantly throw corruption, pay to play, and other crimes in the faces of an American population sick and tired of blatant regulatory capture, lobbyists, and other corrupt power structures in an overreaching and off-the-rails federal government.

Hillary brought this on her self. Here's an idea, even her campaign staff suggested in the email leaks: stop breaking the law and maybe you won't have problems with the FBI. What a concept.
Do you trust Erdogan media more than wikipedia?
Ah, yes the UI was upstreamed only recently. However it was possible to build Chromium on Android either as "content_shell" (minimalistic UI on top of Chromium) or as WebView.
Only so many clowns can buy a GoPro. Just another fad.
Not leading cause of suicide; leading cause of death. He's saying if this thing killed those two men, that's 1/320, which is (wayyy) more than poison (top 1 currently for 25-34, ~1/10000). You'd need to adjust for how many women actually take the pill; after a cursory glance a conservative estimate seems to be 10%, but please don't quote me on that.

20% is a LOT! Consider the amount of work it takes to open-source things. It's a huge step forward.

NPR... you take the good with the bad. This is some of the bad.
I have worked with quite a few elderly people, and I've heard many stories of people just quitting cold turkey after many years of smoking, as soon as the catastrophic health effects became common knowledge.

I think the older generation is just generally more accepting of discomfort than todays cream-puffs.
This is awesome! At work we're trying to help with this at the municiapl level, it's hard so it's really great to see it coming from the Fed. Shout out to Becky Sweger[1] from 18F who has been instrumental in helping move things forward, talking about open data and open code.

[1] https://twitter.com/bendystraw
I admire the work that 18F is doing, and live in the DC area, even contracted for the government early in my career -- but I can never go back. I just fundamentally disagree with the security clearance apparatus is in place and never want to subject myself to that again. Especially when purely private companies pay more and don't care what you do in your personal time.

Working for the government felt like being a child again.
Here’s to more HTTPS on the web
Are we talking about Turkey or the US?
Not only is 80char more readable, as a sibling comment said, but it also allows addition pieces of code to be displayed side-by-side on a laptop screen.

To be fair, 120char wide code is also not too bad for this purpose and readability.
>It's an up front dose of 1000mg of testosterone

I've been reading about steroids and from what I understand different esters have different half life/release. Still every side effect described is usually associated with testosterone.

As for aggression, from what I've seen there is no direct relation in most cases but it can affect some (just like not everyone gets acne or hair loss, etc)
I'm not entirely convinced that the alt-right isn't a boogeyman. Not sure what the KKK or the Nazis have to do with anything.
I still love phpMyAdmin. Got it on all my docker development containers. Knocks the socks off MySql Workbench.
Talking about the "Digital Hub concept", I heard that from a Microsoft guy in 2005(?) introducing the concept of Microsoft Home Server. We were considering anything to cooperate (actually, it is only in marketing way). However, I was afraid that web 2.0 was the true future. Home user didn't need a home server product.

I love Mac, no doubt. But I do think Microsoft create a lot of great concepts and do test it on market. Apple is not the first eveb on consumer market (remember the WinCE products and XP Tablet Edition?)

In my opinion, Microsoft is pioneer of electronic products. Although they often made their final products "unusable", I would hear about what they "are going to do". It is worth to project the future.

p.s. sorry about bad English
Most of the code looks fairly dull and single-purpose. Except NASA's code, as you may expect. Trick and OpenMCT both look at least interesting, and OpenMCT in particular could be used as the basis for many an interesting web-based project.
While severely Stalman, your point is valid. But, the apps momentum will never allow that to happen.
Where is the functional specification for an Operator? It sounds like a K8S primitive; is that in fact true? If not, why does this post make it sound like one?
The page has been on the treadmill and cut out the carbs.
Knobby synth (ms2k, sh201, jp8k or 8080, Supernova, ESQ1, DW6k/8k, AX60, KS4, AN1X etc etc) + knobby/easily mapped controller (i use Axioms and Novation SL Mark 2 even tho the pots/faders/encoders have proved not especially reliable) is a great combination.

(And when korg/roland/Yamaha/teenage/Waldorf/DSmith come out with new stuff, i'll spend some time on sonicState's youtube channel and the forums (Wigglers, Slutz, /r/Synthesizers) to see what the excitement's about.
I think my comment still applies. It's not reasonable to imagine that women would be subject to a male death/suicide rate by taking this drug. Gender has a larger effect on those rates than the drug likely does.
Mars will almost certainly have more meteorites since it has much less of an atmosphere than earth for them to burn up. It coild be viable if we get infrastructure there first.
It's not zero effort, but it's low effort. Implementing the important features of Slack (specifically the ones you mention) is not hard. I know that because me and one other person did that as a weekend project over a few months[1]. It's not because we're the most amazing developers in the world, but

(Sure, not as poslished but that would only take one more designer to fix.)

What I'm saying here is that GP is correct, and you are significantly overestimating the value of what Slack provides. They have the mindshare right now, but that's really all. They don't even the benefits a company like Facebook has, since a Slack competitor is still useful if a small number of people use it, as opposed to social media companies who are not useful at all unless they have a large userbase.

You're just used to osx. I had the same feeling the other way around. Install a distro and give it some time, you'll get used to it.
Yea. They are similar in functionality.

But they work differently. The operator does not really “schedule” containers. It finishes the controlling logic by using Kubernetes APIs. For example, it uses native Kubernetes health checking, service discovery, deployment. It works completely on top of Kubernetes API, so no specialized scheduler, executor or proxy are needed comparing to https://github.com/mesosphere/etcd-mesos/blob/master/docs/ar....

The advantages of Mesos is exposing lower level APIs and resources to allow more control. The etcd operator we built does not really need that. Building this kind of application operator may be simpler on k8s than on native Mesos.

Disclaimer: I work at CoreOS on Kubernetes and etcd.
Lugg is firing people.
I am from Egypt, I remember very well, when the revolution of June 2013 broke out against the muslim brotherhood, the US said it stands with the "legitimate" regime (back then morsi), when they were toppled, the US said it was coup (funny they said it was a revolution when it was against Mubarak). And everyone here is suffering from an unofficial economic embargo enforced by the US on us ever since.

It is simply a coup or a revolution, a democracy or a dictatorship, depending on the "relations" between the US politicians and these governments.
...yet. Not sure about 10 years from now.
His source has nothing to do with Erdogan. It's a conservative American think tank.

The parent is saying something controversial but he's being articulate about it. Look at his writings with more charity.

The user of the computer has to be respected. Microsoft (or any vendor) doesn't get to override the device owner's decisions. This is a basic proper rights issue. That doesn't prevent a reasonable default setting that schedules reboots, but the user must be able to override that setting.

However, regular reboots to install updates is only fixing the symptoms instead of the underlying problem. The proper solution is to put security first when writing software. The entire design needs to be developed for security from the very beginning, not added on as a "feature" afterwords.

Additionally, it would also be a good idea to design software components to have minimal interdependence (loose coupling). This should allows not only easier testing, but also easier replacement. Fewer reboots are needed with when you can replace components individually. (it can also limit restarts to only one subsystem)
So democracy is working as intended, the people decided. Just because you don't agree with the results of democracy doesn't invalidate it.
At some point, these well crafted battery sipping native C apps are going to be able to live in your browser with WebAssembly and WebGL.
Maybe try Morrison's Flow-based Programming. It seems closer to hardware.
He created an EXPERIMENTAL twitter account and played alt-right troll. And then showed that nobody engaged constructively with him.

If he had researched the topic he should have known that anyone who engages with trolls looses. So anyone who is half sane will steer clear. And he gets the left wing trolls feasting on his bait.

Scientific value: Likely close to zero.

But the question here is more: Experimental personas in social media and impact back on real life. Where should the line be drawn?
In case the government wants to shut down communication that's a very bad idea. In a global network, it's relatively easy to hide traffic in other traffic. Encapsulation and encryption work just fine.

In a physical world, if you want a mesh (RF I'm guessing) network, it's trivial to figure out who's forwarding. You can do that with a cheap scanner and go straight to the doors of people running nodes. If you're trying to stay stealthy and secure from gov/mil, radio mesh is a terrible idea.
Un-vetted? Are you serious? The FBI are the people releasing it!
"An Operator represents human operational knowledge in software, to reliably manage an application."

Loving this.
Ask HN: Facebook New Grad Salaries?
What are the higher new grad salaries for Facebook that you've heard of? Looking for some numbers so I have ideas of what to aim for while negotiating.

Am I already at the upper bound with an offer of

107k base
100k signing
160k RSUS?
I really like the work of folks at 18F, USDS, CFPB, et al.

Bearing in mind that I'm ecstatic to see this collection of projects and someone clearly put a lot of time and effort into this already, I do have couple points of hopefully constructive feedback here:

- Please list all of your repositories and feature ones that you think deserve special recognition. Seeing all your repos is a 4-step process otherwise: click on the project, click on the link, click on the acknowledgement that I clicked a link, click on the organization name on GitHub. [1]

- Some information on contribution policies, pulling in your README.md, etc would be helpful on this site. [2]

- When I click on the link to go to your repo, I know I'm clicking a link that leaves your site. You even say so. "But you probably knew that already." Don't hijack it, please. [3]

- The activity feed doesn't provide much value in its current form. Most of these GitHub events are completely without context. [4]

EDIT:

I've since opened the following issues on https://github.com/presidential-innovation-fellows/code-gov-.... Anyone who has feedback, definitely let them know (kindly!).

your post: no point
It's sad to hear that some statisticians don't think they need cross validation. It's not a vapid trend: there are sound statistical reasons to prefer it over other resampling methods like the bootstrap in many applications.
Sure. Though, C does nothing to help prevent you from creating that same garbage again.

So while there are excellent examples of C projects out there, there are many more that show why it's important to provide developers (even the good ones) with guard rails.
Yes. The problem is more complex than "democracy ra ra ra".
I've used a Hero 4 and bought the Hero 5. The 5 is better IMO.

The 5 also turned out to be a little cheaper for my use case than the 4.
> Last week I was playing Shadow of Mordor when all of a sudden the game crashed with an error along the lines of "Graphics device was removed or disconnected". The reason for it was Windows 10 had decided to update while I was gaming and a new GPU driver was installed as part of the update.

LMAO

No seriously. This could be straight out of a comedy piece.
Interesting, they're all media companies.
That sounds to me analogous to calling GNU an operating system. But then again maybe I misunderstand how GNU perceives itself.
Hey scientists, how much of your publication success is due to dumb luck?
Variants on that are also called Abstract State Machines (ASM's), Interacting State Machines, and Composable State Machines. Those terms have most hits on Google.
What do you think takes the most effort to make these projects open source? If this were the policy for all new projects, why would that be difficult?
Good point and it's my use of Visual Studio that kind of screws me. I've got ReSharper installed, which bogs down the editor quite a bit, as well as an extension that I wrote that isn't nearly as efficient as it should be (adds measurable overhead, but nothing close to what ReSharper adds -- I'm close to having a working update that corrects my mistakes there but it filled a gap I needed filled and I originally wrote it with no intention of releasing it -- plans changed).

Visual Studio is pretty ugly in a lot of ways, though. Writing extensions for Visual Studio exposes the ugly underbelly of the beast, which is basically WPF window dressing laid on top of a whole pile of COM Interop (not all that unusual for an application of its scope and history). There's a lot of legacy there. Generally speaking, I do avoid Visual Studio for a lot of things, favoring everything from VS Code to Notepad++. If I spend too much time in Code, or Sublime, and stay out of Visual Studio, returning to it really hurts. At the same time, for all of its complexity (and probably "because of"), I do almost all of my C# development in it and a good chunk of my C++ development there (even more so after Update 2).
