Thanks for letting me know. Was a specific thing in Firefox not working? I noticed double clicking to zoom was not working. I've fixed this now.
Trump got the same votes as Romney.

He shares approximately zero ideas with Romney.

Evangelicals voted for Trump, who has kids with 3 different women and cheated on all 3, because Republican. Free-trade libertarians voted Trump, the least free-trade candidate since the 1930s, because Republican. The only #NeverTrumpers who stuck to their guns were a couple dozen foreign policy experts, who's neocon base still voted Trump, because Republican.

Maaaaaaybe 1% of the voters were people who would have otherwise not voted or voted D because they were attracted by Trump's ideas. The rest of the election swings on anti-Clinton sentiment/propaganda and her inability to counter it -- depressing her own turnout and energizing unenthusiastic Trump voters.
there are browser addons that directly pass the current site's URL to mpv, which in turn uses youtube-dl to fetch the contents. so it's pretty much 1-click playback.
Both the RNC and DNC are screwed. Yes, the Republican candidate won (and brought a lot of senators with him), but he isn't "their man".

Both establishments put up their chosen people, and both establishments lost.

They've grown too insular, too much about the being "True Conservatives/Progressives", and less about representing people. Who are they to decide what we believe?
The answer is that false positives are a thing, and a test sufficiently specific to run a dozen times probably doesn't scale to a million times.

Similarly, you can hit phase transitions in capability where more of the same isn't just the same any more. That's why we let police look at things by eye from public space, but count it as a search if they use technology to enhance their view (such as IR).

The main concern is that technology is allowing police to expend more policing effort than we want them to. Their powers aren't supposed to be perfect, and pushing their success rate too high is dangerous for society.

Police would get their human staff cut if they sat them down to build a cross correlation database of citizen activity out of photos from all around town. They'd be called the Stasi and worse.

Why is it any different because they use computers instead of humans?

Ed: I think of modern policing in the US as a sort of autoimmune disease, prompted by a combination of natural proclivity and particularly nasty, if brief, shock to the system a decade-and-a-half ago. Policing in the abstract is good for society; policing like we are now is not.

The first estimate I see of worldwide Dutch speakers is ~23 million[0]. There's over 5 million Dutch speakers (Flemish) in Belgium alone.

So you're looking at somewhere between 15-20% of Dutch speakers have accounts, which seems more reasonable, particularly if some people have more than one account (very likely, I'm guessing).

The idea (which is now becoming law in some places such as Canada [1]) is that some people do not identify as male and female but rather as something inbetween. So if you refer to them using the words 'he' or 'she' then that is an act of violence against them. The laws enacted then fine you if you refuse to use whatever pronoun they prefer in place of 'he' or 'she'. [2] Some examples are ze,them, zer, etc.

Agreed. The default behavior for the web audio/video autoplay attribute should depend on a permission request for whitelisting.

Failover is useless when you have already increased your chances of corrupting data. Even with ECC there's some degree of corruption; doing without is suicidal.

Google figured quite early in its life that RAM was the one component not to skimp on: http://research.google.com/pubs/pub35162.html
Sorry but I think you are missing the point. Most of the time when people say they are doing objective analysis on islam or minorities what they actually do is just say a bunch of racist stuff. And then they complain that the people saying that they are being hateful and racist are censoring their right to free speech.
Ask HN: What hardware do you recommend for building a Linux PC gaming?
As titled.

I have a plan to build a PC gaming for Linux. The game that I will play mostly comes from Steam. Currently, I have a laptop that with Linux Ubuntu (ASUS U-series, Intel CoreTM i3, 4 GB of RAM, and Nvidia Geforce GT 520M 1 GB). I use my laptop to play my Steam games. But, I want to move from laptop to PC since my hard drive space is running low. I need your advice to build a Linux PC gaming.

Thank you.
I'd be more content with autoplaying videos, but muted. I was glad when iOS 10 introduced autoplaying video because it means people will stop converting every damn thing to GIFs, which are far more bandwidth intensive than videos.
That's very similar to the playbook used against Ron Paul in 2008. That's one of the reasons that the Trump strategy was so interesting.

Ron Paul focused on concepts, history, logical points and got a huge following because of it as well as a lot of money raised. He sparked a lot of the Libertarian movement that we see today...but he was largely blacked out by the media and especially Fox News. They even edited him out of debate rebroadcasts.

Trump on the other hand played to the media shock free press. He'd garner national attention as the media took opportunity after opportunity to shame him...and it worked. He got tons of free press because the media focused on shaming opportunity and sound bites while candidates with good points get ignored. It's an absolute reflection of how our media works.
But would it be rational to go?
The democratic party really needs to start prioritizing the needs of working class Americans. Too many policies clearly benefit corporations and the rich, at the expense of workers. Obama has been a huge disappointment, he talked of hope and change but delivered more of the same. Democrats also need to prioritize the needs of America over the rest of the world. Whatever else you say about Trump, it is clear that he puts Americans first.
Technically, yes.
Democrats don't filibuster republicans. Republicans filibuster democrats. They didn't do jack to stop NCLB or the Patriot Act or either of the war authorizations under Bush.
I do most of my HN tuning in GreaseMonkey. Then again, that's not an ideal way to share it.
I have edited my hosts file so anything from cdn.turner.com is routed to 127.0.0.1. Works like a charm for CNN.com. All the text, none of the media.
It doesn't have to be that way, flattr & the like do provide a viable path to monetary gain for the news industry outside of advertisers. What this means is just like you may have paid for a paper in the past, you should set a budget for flattr and add who you want to support so they are compensated and disincentivized from advertising to you.

Alternatively, if a site does non-aggressive advertising like Dslreports.com, that is quite tolerable. More niche sites are now doing delayed access paywalls too.
Lessons on Success and Deliberate Practice from Mozart, Picasso, and Kobe Bryant
You voted for an open borders, no Non-agression Principle libertarian who does not, actually, hold libertarian views?
To that end as an outsider looking in, it seems to me that the biggest problem the democratic party has right now is the ability to openly discuss ideas in a rational manner free from the chains of political correctness and its inherent biases.

What you are proposing has already been tried in my home country of Denmark. It doesn't work, because it legitimizes the rhetoric of the extreme right, which strengthens them, and makes people who were sympathetic to the left apathic. It also doesn't move any voters who were already sympathetic to these ideas, because why would they vote for the a watered down version of the same platform?
author here, hopefully some folks can comment on their own experiences and observations. i'm especially curious about those without Eczema, but with Asthma.
Flagging a post for the shortcomings of the commenting platform seems a bit harsh.
At 41 I have lived through the "little kids" era too. Three of them, first kid at 27, last at 31. There was a stretch before they went to school where our (my wife and I) friend's disappeared as we dedicated our time to the kids. Now that the kids are older, in grade school and involved in team sports we are accumulating a new group of friends from their friend's parents. We had a bunch over last night for games as a matter of fact.

If eight years ago, I decided to go on a guys trip with some friends I would have had no one to go with. That was depressing. Today that is no longer the case. I have many friends I would go with. That said its still work, you can't just expect to go out every night, party and meet someone new.

A dissenting republican is a far rarer creature than a dissenting democrat, in my experience.
Vagrant is for development, not production, silly goose!
Currently in Wellington. Was fucking shaky, seriously thought the building was about to collapse. This was ~500 km from the epicenter.

We were evacuated and let back in. All the planning in the world doesn't prepare you for the real thing, the first thing you're meant to do is keep calm, and I sure as hell didn't. I sprinted right the fuck out of my apartment building, I have 4 levels above me, hiding under a table wasn't going to do shit to save me.

The building has some cracks in the plaster and food has fallen off all the shelves, but nothing serious. The water seems to be running a bit brown though, so maybe some damage to the water pipes.

Props to the crew at Bizdojo (http://www.bizdojo.com/) for opening an invitation for us to come and chill there if we couldn't get back into our homes. Doing the right thing there!
This is true if you can always be calculating.

You can't.

For instance, CPUs have sped up a lot compared to memory. As a result, if you just calculate as fast as you can, you run out of data to calculate on. Suddenly it becomes more relevant how fast you can access memory. So now we have all sorts of complicated cache mechanisms to help us keep the data to hand. Coding needs to be cache friendly as well.

If you look at CPU prices, you can see the amount of cache increases with the price.
That's why I said most users. There are a small number of people to whom wifi doesn't mean unlimited data. I don't think browsers defaults should be be designed with those people in mind though - the default settings should be to provide the best experience for the maximum number of people.

Anyone who is outside the norm for whatever reason should be able to exert control over their browser, so obviously you should have the option to block videos autoplaying, or downloading at all, in the browser settings. Whether that should be in the settings page or a flags page is what browser vendors should be thinking hard about. Arguably this is a behaviour that enough people want to control that it should be in the settings page.
Oh wow, I understand that they are not important given how the electoral colleges work, but really don't the USA count all the votes within one day? Why is that? Seen from the outside it is very surprising.
Paradoxical, isn't it? Here are the reason heroin and cocaine, delivered safely, are safer than alcohol.

Part of this counter-intuitive claim stems from the fact that alcohol has common and dangerous side effects like domestic violence and automobile violence.

Another part of it comes from statistical evidence showing the other compounds, when delivered safely (and not by criminal gangs) are not as dangerous as believed.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/jacobsullum/2013/11/04/everythin...

http://www.rand.org/pubs/occasional_papers/OP325.html

Finally, consider the Iron Law of Prohibition: Prohibiting a substance drives out all but the most potent (easiest to smuggle) formulations of the substance. That makes the shit more dangerous.

Look, the claim is NOT that heroin and cocaine are not shit. They are. The claim is that the war on drugs has exaggerated their shittiness to justify itself.
Thanks for correcting that. Doubling checking halves the estimate to just over 40%. Still high, but more likely (given the already mentioned bots/spammers/double accounts etc).
Indeed why stop at 55. Why shouldn't a pensionado be on a swinger site. Who am I to judge ;-)
>If the left could openly discuss the relationship between islam and terrorism, the negative impacts of certain equal opportunity laws on the minorities they are trying to benefit, the conflict between gender pronoun legislation and free speech, etc. then the party itself would be on big path for improvement.

I disagree strongly. The problem is not that the Democratic Party says the "wrong" thing about minor cultural issues. The problem is that it fills its propaganda output up with minor cultural issues at all.

The party platform this year had a lot of positions in it that were good for the country: rebuild infrastructure, improve the health-care system, cheap to free higher education, better vocational education, etc. The Clinton campaign mostly did not actually run on those issues at all; it ran on "our opponent is a very mean, irresponsible, and socially unjust person". Why? Because those progressive positions in the platform were Sanders' positions, not Clinton's.

The Democratic Party needs to make one major change to be relevant again: care about the working class. Run on bread-and-butter issues of material well-being, not on which words people use on Twitter! But that can't happen until the Clintonist cancer is excised from the party.
Exactly. If you increase the clock frequency you will get more ops/s out of the CPU, everyone can see that easily. The only problem is that the anmount of electrons you have to push through the transistors has a quadratic* dependence on frequency.

However, It's also clear what gravypod is trying to say. The architecture itself has a greater influence on the "processing power" nowadays because the clock has reached physical limits and can't be increased much further without getting expensive (see IBM Power Sytems).
Bottomline is that you can't compare CPUs by frequency alone, but it was never any different, the architectures 15 years ago just sucked so hard that all of them were too similar regarding instructions per cycle.

I think we can blame AMD for that line of thinking, they had to push hard against Intel during a time where everyone used clock frequency to compare CPUs.

*edit: Sorry I remembered it wrong, the commonly used power equation is P = C x V^2 x f (capacity, voltage, frequency). Power is linear dependent on the frequency!
He said that the client wanted it, and I should just do it.

Ask him to ask the client if that's the behaviour the client would find annoying if every other site also did that.
I feel this is a defeatist stance to take; LFI's are a solved problem and we should be looking to how and why this happened and prevent it in the future.

Another angle: we're supposed to not do anything that requires any form of confidentiality online? can't book a doctors appointment, transfer money, send emails to family?
Because evolution.

After 30 you are dead to your genes. The machinery that drives you before then expires, and you have to find another way.

It's pretty hard.
I would be interested to see if it is possible to work out what percentage of the profiles are fake/bots from the data leaked. Is that possible or would they simply blend in too easily?
Unless you are more important to them than some aspect of their own children? Yes. That has nothing to do with entitlement; you don't deserve anyone's friendship.

Children require a certain amount of time, and are given some degree more by any parent who enjoys parenting and/or has higher standards for parenting than what is required. If someone can't find any time for you because of their children, it isn't that their children have been deemed more important than you, it's that every single thing that they spent an hour a month doing with their children has been deemed more important than you.

I'm not being bitter here; my friends with kids found time for me when the kids were young, and now those kids are teenagers, so there's tons of time. It's just that all importance is, is priority. If you can't prioritize something enough to maintain it at all, it's because it's not important to you. Importance isn't some inner strength of feeling; that's a rationalization of being all talk and no action. If you don't feed something, it dies.
Here's an interesting test case for "context-aware" machine perception: the UK's Hazard Perception test for new drivers. You sit at a computer and are shown 15 recordings of everyday road scenes, from the drivers view, and you have to click when a "developing hazard" appears. It's quite an annoying test, since what counts as a "developing hazard" is not clearly defined, but the intention is that practicing for the test trains your subconscious to scan for minor cues -- e.g., a car rapidly approaching from a side road (which will likely pull out without stopping), or two pedestrians finishing their conversation and one turning to face the street (they will likely step out into the road).

I'm sure there was plenty wrong with 1960s printing presses and the engineers working on them were looking forward to a radical overhaul of the technology, instead of supporting a cruft of legacy technology that was holding them back from designing fancier machines and fancier papers.

As we know, there indeed was a major overhaul in the way publishing works, just not in a way those engineers hoped for.

I think the same is true for the web. It's not an engineer's paradise, but it does a good enough job for the people who are using it, it gets gradually better, and it will probably experience a radical overhauled at some point -- just not in a way any of us hoped for or could even imagine at this point.
Completely on the contrary. As someone with a wife and kids, suburban home, a tech job and similar decisions to make (react or anguar2).
Never in my life I had so many opportunities to do fun things but I simply changed my preferences. I still like riding bikes and hiking and hanging out with friends (both couples with kids and just guys night out) however, I much more enjoy alone and quiet time than before. Reading, taking a Coursera course, hooking into my htc vive, finally learning the guitar solo from the wall part 2, learning to read music notes and play the piano.
I feel much happier now than in my childhood. I have more friends than I have time for. And much less urge for company. I feel perfectly fine with just my family singing me "Happy birthday".
>A better phrasing might have been "anti-left" or "left-critical" viewpoint.

Not really, considering that we on the radical left don't even consider the Democrats left-wing at all. They're just... liberals.
A common Prolog programming pattern involves creating a partially instantiated term (a "structure" with "holes") and filling in the details later. This can improve expressivity, composability, and performance.

For example, this code:

L = [_,_,_], maplist(p, L)

enumerates all three-element lists whose members satisfy the predicate p. This technique is impossible in Mercury because it does not allow terms with holes.

Of course you can still compute the same result in Mercury, but you will have to do more work: I think you would have to write a specialized predicate instead of using a higher-order predicate from the library.

Interesting, must be an urban thing. Personally, I lost a lot of my friends in the my 20's, but that was mortality for you on a reservation. Those that made it to our 30s, I am still in touch with daily. I would think technology would actually help this.
Definitely, there are a ton of libertarians here, to the point that my prior comments in threads like this would fluctuate up & down by 5 to 10 points for a few hours after posting. Was quite fun to watch!
youtube-dl can download lists of videos.

It also automatically doesn't download things you already have, so it can be used periodically to sync the list if you want.

It only really matters if you expect videos to go down, but I also have my small collection of "videos that were obviously going to be taken down".

Leaving a loophole will only invite more abuse. If the equity is worth $0 (which it is for all illiquid startups big and small), then it shouldn't count for anything.
Why they do it? Easy. You are not the customer, the advertiser is. So as long as it is tolerable for a sufficient % of the audience, it is worth it.

Case in point, circumventing ad blockers. Audience explicitly doesn't want the ad experience, but Facebook wants to make more $. Facebook just announced a record quarter on desktop advertising fueled by successfully circumventing ad blockers.

Pretty sure it is.
mobile ad-hoc ephemeral groups : you are at a concert/conference, and someone launches a group , others with the app are notified based on the various criteria (geolocation, interest etc.) . you can subscribe and unsub as soon as an event or session is over. This protects privacy etc. as only an avatar is shared with others, you can message and talk with them, but disconnect once done.

Can be used for announcements, notifications, 2-way comms etc.
> the campaign had no message whatsoever.

The irony of this failure is that heeding to the message "It's the economy, stupid!" was what put Bill in the White House to begin with.
If you and your friends have their shit together pick at most two: social life, family life, work life. Work and family tend to take priority for people in their 30s... and even if they don't for you, it takes two to make friendships work.

There's also the problem of geographic polarization: more enthusiasm among Clinton voters in California or New York doesn't actually net her any more electoral seats, but she doesn't seem to have cared at all to campaign in states like Wisconsin and Michigan that ended up swinging against her.
I believe youtube-dl is capable of downloading entire lists, but I don't know if the watch-later list behaves as a normal list. One way to find out.
This is spot on.

Both Sanders and Trump attempted to "hijack" the mainstream political parties.

Trump obviously more successful (to become the party nominee).

Sanders is not a "Democrat" and Trump is not a "Republican".
