It's "good" but good is a moral argument. We have to examine it on a deeper level, who wins and who loses.

According to economists, it's good because it grows the pie. It makes everyone wealthier.

According to labor, the pie grows but disproportionately the benefits accrue to capital. Without support, whether it be redistribution via tax or job retraining, labor can not react to shock as efficiently.
It's not just vote buying, it's pressuring. If you don't want your employees to unionize, insist they vote for right-to-work laws. You don't have to insist very openly. Just take them out to drinks and mention the election in passing, see who voluntarily shows you their receipt on their phone, and prioritize them for bonuses and promotions.
Does anyone actually think globalism is going to be stopped? My guess is it will be harnessed. Corporations fled the US to increase profits - both to preserve taxes and ignore environmental regulations. Given no regulation to prevent/dissuade the exodus, they outcompeted the ones who didn't.

It would now take a very large effort that would look like protectionism to bring all that back. Can Trump administration pull that off?
Not yet, but we are working on it. We use libssh2 and I'm working on a patch for that.
Hi, I'm Stephanie Kim and wrote the talk/post. Thanks for the comment! Yes you are correct I should have specified that it is the features of each input rather than the inputs that are regarded as independent from one another! I will revise that in the post. Again, thanks for pointing that out since it's an important distinction, especially for people just starting out!
For posterity, the tl;dr concern is one of the reasons I include the relevant chart at the beginning of the post.
I don't think it's elitism, it's people simply living in a different world.

If you have been left-leaning, you have been living in a world where Trump's policies are scary, racist stuff that belongs way in the past.

If you have been right-leaning, you have been living in a world where white people have been under attack for the last x years, and Trump is offering respite.

The left just didn't realise the extent of people that believed that lie. It's not elitist, it's just huge surprise - people are saying things and supporting things we thought were sorted years ago.

If a candidate came out and supported reintroducing slavery, and they got half of the vote, people would be understandably surprised. This is the light version of that.

No one seems to remember rule 41 in this thread. Did it get tossed out already?

We can all look at this and assume the FBI made a good choice here, even if they broke the law in the process.

But.. what about those of us who use Tor to browse perfectly legal content in order to simply attain added privacy from the prying eyes of our local ISPs? Or to host SSH via a hidden service? Etc.

You may not know it yet, but you need tor or you will need it sooner or later. Or you will need something else like it.
I agree that Hillary is corrupt. Trump is also going to be corrupt, and is already corrupt. I'm not sure what you gained here.
I'm sure that it so. However, for a story to spread it has to seem like it might be true to a significant fraction of the readers. So it can't be 'patently false'.

I believe you. I'm the only surviving member of what was our three member nuclear family (four if you count grandma, which I do). Even when someone is terminally ill and you KNOW they're dying, you still cling, without realizing, to some weird hope they can live, a hope demonstrated by the heartbreak that happens when they finally die. To have to be the one who makes that moment finally happen has to be horrible beyond all the rationale that a human being can muster.
Respectfully, I think you are being intellectually dishonest:

"Full Email Text:

SUBJECT: So... that happened... what's next?

I'm still trying to reconcile my own worldview with the overwhelming message that was delivered last night. Clearly there are a lot of people angry and scared as the antithesis of every modern presidential candidate won and will be our next president.

While demeaning, insulting and ridiculing minorities, immigrants and the physically/mentally disabled worked for Mr. Trump, I want to be clear that this behavior - and these views, have no place at Grubhub. Had he worked here, many of his comments would have resulted in his immediate termination.

We have worked for years cultivating a culture of support and inclusiveness. I firmly believe that we must bring together different perspectives to continue innovating - including all genders, races, ethnicities and sexual, cultural or ideological preferences. We are better, faster and stronger together.

Further I absolutely reject the nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics of Donald Trump and will work to shield our community from this movement as best as I can. As we all try to understand what this vote means to us, I want to affirm to anyone on our team that is scared or feels personally exposed, that I and everyone else here at Grubhub will fight for your dignity and your right to make a better life for yourself and your family here in the United States.

If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here. We do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team.I want to repeat what Hillary said this morning, that the new administration deserves our open minds and a chance to lead, but never stop believing that the fight for what's right is worth it.

Stay strong,
Matt"

Cherry pick and twist however you want but anyone with common sense who is paying attention knows exactly what this means.
Would you recommend using rkt in production instead of Docker? My impression was that rkt is even more immature, but maybe that's entirely wrong.
Interesting point... it seems to me that they ought to at least find the victims and secure their blessing to be used this way.
So this is kind of bizarre wording on the author's part. He describes that in fact Reddit does use time decay for exactly the reason you mentioned literally two sentences before what you quoted. It seems weird to state something as a fact then dispute it based on an anecdote without addressing the obvious tension between those things...

> Reddit’s ranking algorithm attempts to rectify this by determining comment ranking using both time and community voting; comments in a thread, by default, are ordered based on the points score (upvotes - downvotes) the comment receives, subject to a rank decay based on the age of the comment.

> In theory, this system should allow comments that posted later in the thread’s lifetime to rank much higher temporarily, then Redditors can vote on the new comment; if the new comment is good, it can now rise to the top and therefore the content which would otherwise be buried is now surfaced.

And then it continues on to the section you quoted. I'm not sure what to believe!
The post I replied to made the comparison:

> Muslims often say: "Stop calling all of us terrorists and stop saying Islam encourages terrorism because you are missing the real underlying issues. We want everyone to be happy just like you do, but we think your understanding of terrorism is flawed."

So this is the context I am responding to, the hypothetical situation of a Muslim claiming the above.

> because, when you accuse someone of being a terrorist

No, I'm responding specifically to the "stop saying Islam encourages terrorism" part. When I say "Any time I've seen a Muslim actually talk about the issue, and explain how Islam doesn't encourage terrorism", I don't mean in the context of responding to an accusation of being a terrorist.

> You've decided that a religion is guilty and want individuals to show proof of innocence?

What have I decided about the religion? I implied that if it's true that Muslims are saying "you are missing the real underlying issues", then I've yet to see one attempt to explain.

Also, If I had decided that a religion is guilty, who else but individuals could demonstrate otherwise? Religion has no life of it's own, it exists only in the medium of the individuals who decide to carry it.
As long as they receive no public funding I don't see a problem with it, but you don't get to take federal dollars and put up a no whites allowed sign on the door.
Dear GrubHub Employees
Vote inflation might serve as an interesting dynamic for allowing other's voices to be heard. While a new vote will always carry the same value, acquired votes may suffer from inflationary decay, providing a rotation on viewed comments. You could probably modify this inflation based on thread velocity.
You can: unvote and reupvote.
Also keep in mind, labor can't outcompete capital because capital outflows are not regulated but labor can't move easily, so is replaced by outsourced labor.

I wonder how many companies will now opt for corporate inversion (Hey, Trump won - we want to leave just like you want to), and whether there will be any real push to combat that from the US govt.
It is not the cache that causes the heavy IO. It is the SQLite DB at
AppData\Local\Spotify\mercury.db

See http://blog.scaleprocess.net/spotify-heavy-io-problem/

Besides that, a lot of times setting a diff location for your cache does NOT move the cache. I had to use a symlink.
Let me add to that: the FBI themselves and various Police forces will also need Tor, or something like it, as well.
But, as long as inflation measurements includes housing, we really hide the true cost of globalization. We have relative deflation in the cost of good produced overseas and cheapened by labor arbitrage, but loose monetary policy is not evident in those diminished captital flows. Instead, too much money is chasing a stagnant supply of housing and inflates the value further.
Net, central banks target
inflation, globalization and labor arbitrage cheapen goods, while the lack of any globalization or arbitrage or supply drives the cost of housing up and up. In the end we balance it all out, and it looks like monetary policy is a very low-res tool.
More importantly, with fusion, energy could become significantly cheaper allowing us to do things which weren't economically viable.

Make everything out of environmentally friendly, lighter and long lasting aluminium rather than steel + concrete.

Have street lighting that is as bright as sunlight over entire cities, allowing us to no longer be dependant on time of day.

Growing food crops indoors with artificial light, saving massive amounts of land.

Desalination to make all our water. No longer extracting it from rivers and aquifers. A cleaner, less polluted water source.

A single energy source - today we use petroleum (cars), natural gas (cooking and heating), electricity (lighting etc.), diesel (transport) and many more in industry. All of those need distribution networks. A single cheap energy source could coalesce a lot of infrastructure.
Perhaps this could be combined with a zero-knowledge proof? From wikipedia[1] with context:

zero-knowledge protocol is a method by which one party (the voting machine) can prove to another party (the voter) that a given statement is true (their ballot was cast, untampered), without conveying any information apart from the fact that the statement is indeed true. ... the definition implies that the voter will not be able to prove the statement in turn to anyone else (a vote buyer/intimidator), since the voter does not possess the secret information.

I have seem some talent, at various levels, some of which is even quite good. But I surely would NOT call it a "surplus" :-)
In that case it's unclear that it is a proactive step against terrorism (for the reason I said, domestic terrorists get guns more easily) which is a different kind of debate than cases where everyone agrees a freedom limiting step would prevent terrorism and the question is if it's worth it.

Affordable Warehouse Workspace in Mountain View
I run a warehouse-turned-workspace catered towards young startups who are looking for a place to work that doesn't kill the budget or hemorrhage investment dollars. The space has been occupied by a YC backed startup who worked at The Yard since April while they raised additional funds. They just moved to a new office in SF so the space is available again.

Here's how it works:

Membership is $300/person/month and includes:

-24/7 Access. Your phone is your key!

-Excellent Wifi

-Coffee and tea

-Free Parking

-Mailing address/handling

-Comfy chairs and work environment

-Printer/scanner use

-Whiteboards

-Phone room for private calls

-Monitor/Apple TV for presentations

-Darts and an arcade machine with 6000+ classic games

The space is quite flexible. I have space for 15 workers. I've had mixes of freelancers and small startups as well as teams who occupy the entire space.

All major payment methods are accepted and there are no long term contracts. Members pay by the month!

Transportation:
We're about a one minute walk from the San Antonio Caltrain station in Mountain View.
We're also 5 minutes from 101 (San Antonio Exit) by car and about 10 minutes away from 280 (El Monte Exit)

You are reading into this big league.

Are you familiar with "point-free style"? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacit_programming) The above crude table should be read as given: point-free. I don't care about the subject of [in]tolerance even slightly (opinions, smells, beliefs, quasi-scientific theories, what-have-you).

If you are tolerant I will tolerate you, if you are intolerant go screw.

As medicine gets better and we develop a better understanding of how our bodies work this question will only get more difficult. At some point it will be possible to program your cells to repair any damage to your body including regenerating limbs or organs. And when you can do that, taking someone who is "dead", hooking them up to the "autodoc"[1] and having it repair the damage and restart them, then the only question might be how many short term memories did you lose? And if you can download those some how then even a partly decomposed body could be the source material for reconstructing the original, not a clone per se because parts of the original are re-used but certainly a full retrofit. Then a lot of built in human assumptions get really challenged.

Cool, thanks. :-)

I just bought the app and play with it for few minutes, here's some quick feedback:

1. Love the fact the interface is just a CLI!

2. But would be nice if content of `help` was shown by default. `blink>` wasn't very helpful ;-)

3. Ability to bind Caps Lock to "ESC on tap, Ctrl on Hold" would be really cool.

Otherwise I really like what I'm seeing so far. Finally Mosh client on my iPad Pro!

Edit: and 4, ability to bind Alt/Option key as Meta (rather than iOS' default special character input, e.g. Alt-x should send M-x)
Revealing the multi-platform operational capability of Equation Group
Your comment really shows how weak this argument is.

No on is arguing that protests are not speech. No one.

If you are reducing to arguing that hypocrisy can't exist because freedom of speech is a thing, you need to pick a different battle.
Jan Van Halen’s Story
For binary content I would recommend serving those files directly from S3 via Cloudfront under a different domain. Lambda and API gateway really aren't set up to work with binaries right now. Even serving .csv files requires some workarounds.

FYI it is also possible to go directly from the API Gateway to S3 without going thru Lambda
I want to use Docker in production so I don't have to write hacks like this.

I want to put my application, any application, in a nice tidy box, ship it to a server, any server, an be confident that it'll work. That's the promise of Docker. To me, Docker doesn't deliver on that promise if I have to copy&paste a 12 line bash script from HN to be able to do that or else face out-of-space problems at surely the worst possible moment. If I have to jump through hoops like that, then what's the gain?

Might as well just install an Ubuntu VM, apt-get everything I need by hand or with ansible and add my app to the startup script. I'll have similar complexity in a more mature and well-understood environment.
No, you should be tolerant of people. You should also endeavor to note the distinction between saying something and doing something, because it's not even subtle and insisting it doesn't exist, for example by labeling a joke "sexual assault," does not convince reasonable people that you are on the level.
It was beautiful vision for corporations, get cheap workforce overseas. Invest billions into China and then wait for those billions to get back to USA. It was true in the beginning because China imported a lot of tech and goods. They didn't have their own tech. Everything would work great but Chinese were not so stupid, they thought we can create our own products with same quality with our own tech with money we got from west. So they built universities and took best minds from west to teach in those schools. Then they started to make their own products that started to compete with those that need mid-high tech knowledge to produce. At this point globalization stopped being golden egg of western countries economies. That's why you see decline in growth in high developed countries in Europe and USA.
Moreover, it's an undervalued question as to whether or not people want more pie, or a greater percentage of the pie. Utilitarianism is tricky at best, and money does not map onto utility; people who feel they're being screwed are not comforted by the promise that if things were more fair, they'd have less cheap stuff. Power over your own destiny is more important to people than consumer goods, and it looks like globalism might concentrate real power in the hands of the few, even if it makes us all able to buy more toys. (There's a reason the only people you see proposing universal basic income are those who wouldn't need it.)
Am I the only one that thinks every single economic article looks the exact same? Thing A SHOULD happen, so thing B SHOULD happen, etc

The whole article is just things that SHOULD happen...
I think you may misunderstand me as I wasn't clear

"Cellular level investigations are obviously important but getting a wire in somewhere is not going to happen at a level this small
It does happen, there exist small electrode array implants that can be placed in neural tissue to both induce (for example, cause sensations that one can feel) and read-out activity. Such implants are in fact used in some human subjects (there are issues such as development of scar-tissue however)."

What I mean - in a human subject the placement of any implant is not going to be guided by anything approaching a cellular level of imaging resolution. It will mostly use conventional radiological image guidance to get close and then measure electrical signals once close. Or is this in fact what you are saying?

Sorry about my formatting - phone.
I really wonder if intelligence services are paid to demoralize user groups when I see posts like this.

If you do all these things, your resistance to even NSA-level incriminating evidence goes WAY down, and your vulnerability to local LEO and hackers goes to near-zero.

This is, at best, a brick wall, through which an adversary would have to bulldoze.
Well, there are no pain neurons inside of the central nervous system, so they literally cannot feel anything when you record or 'clean' the tips of the electrodes. Besides, since electricity takes the least impediant path, the current can only flow locally, i.e. over the non-sensing scarring cells. There is not harm to the subject, only to the scar tissue.

Human electrodes can last a lifetime if they are properly done. Look at a pace-maker. They last decades. Granted they are not for individual neuron recordings, but they work great. The first deep brain stimulation patients are about 5 years old now and they seem to be doing fine as a whole, the Parkinson's disease symptoms are significantly lessened and their quality of life is very improved. It'll take more time and effort, but yeah, I think we can overcome the gliosis, though it is probably gong to be a drug interaction with the mechanical/electrical that will do it, not just electrical alone.

I agree some tests are a good idea depending on the project. Doesn't mean I have to like writing them!

> I assume that the code is smart and that my mental simulation of the code, which my brain helpfully and invisibly patches on the fly, is correct.

I try not to assume things until I've constructed associated proofs in my mind (and sometimes written them into comments). In fact keeping in mind what you've established (proven) and what not is a very important thing. Most of the bugs I've done are because I've simply forgotten to think about / prove something.

It's a completely different way of programming!

> Then I make those explicit statements executable. And then I run them frequently.

But I prefer to write down these explicit statements in the code itself, often as assertions. I can then prove them right on the spot!

This is correct. Technically the backtrace functionality and ErrorChainIter implementation come from the error-chain crate (the former as a re-export of the backtrace crate) so your linker will notice.

> Maybe it's worth offending on average half of your customers

I doubt that it is anywhere near half. GrubHub and similar services are mostly in cities. Clinton tended to do better than Trump in cities. Even in states like Texas and Florida, the major cities mostly went heavily Clinton.

In Texas, the counties that Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio went Democrat by 27%, 13%, 39%, and 13% margins, respectively. Fort Worth and Corpus Christi went Republican by 9% and 2% margins, respectively.

In Florida, the counties that include Miami, W. Palm Beach, Orlando, Tampa, and Tallahassee went Democrat by margins of 30%, 15%, 7%, and 25%, respectively. Jacksonville went Republican, by 2%.
