I haven't done the math (and I'm not a fan of the tax cuts) but trump is also offering bigger tax breaks for families with kids per his policy page(https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies, I haven't read this pdf yet). Since you didn't take that into account, does that change the numbers at all? It wouldn't surprise me one bit if when a republican says "middle class families" they mean literally "married people with non-adult kids".

Can you give us any hint about how much time is there until we can buy a Mill to play with?

From that security presentation, I've left with the idea that you wouldn't want a Linux kernel on the Mill. You'll more likely want something smaller, with a Linux virtualization layer for device drivers. That's because your security layer is extremely flexible, making it possible to push a lot of kernel space code into some less powerful context while keeping performance the same.

So are you working on a Linux port for it? (Maybe breaking it in pieces on the process?) Or do you intend on starting with something else? (Maybe building up from a microkernel?)

One interesting thing that this election showed was that race and gender are two fundamentally different traits. In all the talk about diversity, we lump the two together far too often when gender is really a completely different beast. Minorities, and African-Americans specifically, overwhelmingly turned out and voted for Obama. Clinton didn't get nearly the same effect with women despite her opponent being an unabashed misogynist. It seems that race > religion > gender when it comes to voting identity.
Wow, what a shitty human. Why would you post your paranoid ramblings on vanity fair? What does this add to HN? Get this hate mongering crap outta here. Sorry your candidate lost, but calling people racist is just as ignorant.
Its certainly doable. The monthly Vietnamese wage in manufacturing is $145 a month. Middle America would have to learn to live on $145 a month to compete against them.

In a way, it's the Democrats way of saying "to hell with DNC and corrupt super delegates".

The problem with Hillary is that she was seen as a messenger of whoever funded her campaign. That included the ultra rich Arabs, multinational corps, etc. She wasn't authentic.

On the other hand, trump was rich enough to not give a fuck and say things at the risk of alienating a large crowd.

He really appealed at an emotional level. Hillary was a robot.
Please, go find me the exact quote. This is the kind of fake news the whole Trump campaign was built on.

That said, most contronyms give absolutely no cognitive dissonance. That "to dust" something can mean to remove or to add something has rarely caused confusion. Only place I have ever seen it was in some old children's books, to be honest. Which is half the reason they are fun. Teaching kids contradictions is what keeps some of it interesting.

Backup shouldn't be something to do when the drive is exhaling its last breath or even showing first symptoms, it should be done often and in a transparent way. On a laptop the best practice is to arrange a sync with a server (NAS etc.) when one gets home. If done incrementally it requires from seconds to minutes and is fully automatic. Unfortunately making backups still isn't common practice; most users see a NAS or even an external drive as wasted money. They feel safe by "backing up" some data on a USB key only to discover how volatile and unsafe it might be when it's too late (breaks, washing machine, theft, loss, etc.)

Also bothers me people in tech are only now starting to worry about the data they collect. Seems like it was absolutely fine to harvest the hell out of their users and hand it on a silver platter to the government when someone they like is in charge. Now it's suddenly a problem.

AFAIK, it does not helps. He will work for few days, maybe months, then will steal something. I read quite few anecdotes about such people from USSR. After USSR was broke, they were able to leave country and land in USA, Germany, Israel, etc., but their mental barrier to not steal was broken in USSR, so even when they got a job with 1000x salary, they are still steal something, get cough, fired or jailed, and then returned back to Russia.
I get that social desirability bias is a thing, and that those with views considered socially unpopular are less willing to share them. But for a hypothetical Shy Tory effect to have an effect on polling you'd need something like all of the following:

* Tories to be unwilling to admit to voting Tory (plausible);

* Tories to claim to be voting for someone else, instead of refusing to answer, as if they refuse to answer then the demographic weighting will increase the impact of similar respondents who will tend to also be Tories (somewhat less plausible);

* The source of errors from the above to outweigh other known problems such as turnout modelling, non-response bias, demographic variations in telephone/Internet access, late changing of minds, anti-Tories in Tory areas doing the same things for the same social desirability reasons (I suspect it wasn't any more fun being a Hillary supporter in Trumpland than a Trump fan in Hillaryland this cycle), and so on.

Polling is not easy. Its statistical guarantees are only valid under circumstances that basically don't hold, and there is a great deal of variation due to design decisions which cannot be empirically grounded. You don't need a "shy Tory" effect to produce the misses seen recently, and the evidence doesn't support it happening on a scale big enough to have any impact at all.
Don't forget education. Early analysis seems to indicate that whether a person had a college degree or not was a better indicator than gender for how they would vote.

But the thing is people believed in it. And the media, as Thiel pointed out in a speech, thought that people would dismiss Trump on literal grounds, as in, they don't require him to literally build a wall. But they know that he's prioritized immigration (and theoretically, protecting American jobs) in a way that Clinton and none of the other Republican candidates did.

(Whether he imposes trade tariffs will be interesting though...)

The other part of it is that the ruling party rarely holds on for more than 2 terms in the presidency. If you feel the economy is going humdrum, you might desire the prospect of change that comes with a different party.
> Not too mention that Maggie Haberman and Mark Liebovich (and probably a few others too that I'm not aware of) can be found in the Podesta emails sending over their articles to the Clinton campaign for review, prior to publication.

Can you reference the source for this? I ask because much of what I've seen between what WikiLeaks tweets and what's actually contained within the email messages is severely taken out of context. (e.g. not understanding what news embargos are [1]) The New York Times were also the ones who originally broke the story of the private email server.

When I started using go (coming from rails), ORM was really the thing I missed the most. And this made me realize I actually didn't know much about postgres.

I started using pg functions, views, triggers, etc and found it extremely convenient. Now, my sql strings in go are mostly `SELECT * FROM func_name(<$params>)` and I'm happy with that.

I'm not saying ORMs are useless (active_record is an incredibly cool tool), but it's been surprisingly way easier to live without them that I'd thought.

This is our brand new unified API for enterprise cloud storage providers. It's part of the CloudRail API Integration Solution which consists of multiple unified APIs for different categories like social, payment, consumer cloud storage etc. Our value props are: A single API for multiple providers & No API changes since we keep the integrations up-to-date. All that without a hosted middleware. So we never touch the data. Looking forward to hear your feedback.
Thanks :)

Though in retrospect I think it should have been two separate series (and I need to write a few more parts; I'm very close to having it compile itself as of last night).

I think it'd have been better to evolve the initial simple language into an equivalently simple language to parse, and kept the long slog towards compiling Ruby as a separate thing.

Especially as that has complicated things enough to be in severe need of various refactoring (which I'm avoiding until it will compile itself, at which point I'll start cleaning it up while insisting on keeping it able to compile itself..).

The parser itself started out conceptually quite clean, for example, but the Ruby grammar is horribly complex, and I keep having to add exeptions that's turned it quite convoluted. I don't doubt it can be simplified with some effort once I have the full picture, but it's not great for teaching.
It's a nice feature-set, looks well-designed, and handy - but anyone using one of these APIs would find it super trivial to implement this themselves? I'm not sure I see the cost-benefit making sense here? I'm keen to be convinced, though - what's the killer use case? (I'm not aware of APIs changing or being deprecated in any big way)

Edit: ah, the other APIs make way more sense to me. You can offer multiple options to a customer. But this doesn't seem to have an equivalent?

Lisp, or any prefix or postfix language, is relatively easy to parse and execute (in the case of an interpreter) or translate (in the case of a compiler/translator) because its syntactic structure mirrors the abstract syntax tree (AST) that the semantic analysis phase (i.e. the last of the 3 phases identified in the post) will traverse as it either executes (interpreter) or translates (compiler). In other words, the parse tree is nearly identical to the AST. That isn't true of Algol-like languages, and so the syntactic analysis and semantic analysis phases of a compiler/translator of Algol-like languages is more complex. That's why Lisp, or really any prefix or postfix language, is a good first language to implement, as opposed to something like C.
Do you have an api?

Well, it depends what you really want out of the system. I'd argue that generalized computation is inappropriate for a permissioned blockchain. For a public blockchain, sure, though I'd still not go with Ethereum for a bunch of reasons (e.g. it's compiled so when you find a compiler bug you need to upgrade all of the contracts vs upgrade the interpreter, because it's a pita to develop in, etc...) EVM was a great first step, but like all first steps it is in need of iteration.

Also, I would note that "with a consensus protocol" is very, very tricky... well if you want BFT anyways. Rolling your own consensus is on the order of difficulty of rolling your own crytpo -- this is experts only, don't do it. It's not quite as difficult as crypto but you still need to formally prove it which is very hard. We didn't make our own consensus, instead we used Raft for consensus and figured out how to make it BFT which is hard but nowhere near as hard as making consensus from scratch.

Here's my off-the-cuff guide to figuring out if you want a blockchain and what properties it needs:

Do you want a distributed DB?

* No -> postgres.

* Yes -> you need consensus of some fashion.

Will some nodes for the DB be hosted by competitors in your space?

* No -> You don't need BFT, use hashicorp's stuff.

* Yes -> You need BFT, welcome to "I need a blockchain" territory

Will competitors be able to directly write logic that will run on the system?

* No -> regular language is fine

* Yes -> you need a smart contract language to write in

What type of scaling and performance do you need?

* 3-100 nodes + high performance -> PBFT/SmartBFT for consensus is fine, but keep in mind that if you ever need to scale beyond this you're screwed (maybe you can get to 200 but I doubt it).

* 100-10k nodes + high performance -> email us at info@kadena.io, we're literally the only ones able to do this currently

* +100 nodes + low performance -> Mining based consensus could work, but you need to lock it down and centralize pending transactions a bit to avoid incentivization issues.

* >10k nodes + high performance -> wait 5 years, maybe someone will figure it out.

What do you need to do with the chain?

* track allocation of things/conserve mass -> no need for a smart contract language, adapt a bitcoin approach

* conserve mass + run logic -> you need some type of language, though maybe not a smart contract class one

Assuming you need to run logic...

* and don't need BFT -> glue python/whatever onto consul, be careful to only write deterministic code

* need BFT, and want to be able to fold proteins -> use EVM (though I'd recommend rethinking your approach... why should you replicate massive computations like this?)

* need BFT, and want the system to work a lot like a very paranoid DB -> email us

One of my biggest complaints about ORMs is that I often know the exact query I need to write, and it is a pain to compose it with the ORM. Simple CRUD, sure, maybe. Beyond that though... Arguably one of the biggest benefits of an ORM is sanitization. You get that for free with Go. I've done quite a bit of work with DBs and Go, and I've not seen the need for an ORM, just some library helpers.

>She was unequivocal. “I believe strongly that in a democracy, we should respect the will of the people,” Hillary Clinton said, “and to me that means it’s time to do away with the Electoral College and move to the popular election of our president.”

From my time doing server backend python dev, it is only catching any problems at runtime, everything from missing arguments to typos in variable names that accidentally match another variable, turning your int to a string. Having a compiler catch these saves much time and hairpulling. And having unit tests as a final defense, rather than the only defense, does wonders for my peace of mind.
