You can churn out a complete HTML5/JavaScript game in 2 evenings. Granted, you have to import images and don't have the convenience of just drawing something and making a MovieClip out of it.

I don't get it either. Free Trade has improved the lives of billions of people. It helps prevent wars and binds people and countries together. I just don't get the Hacker News Hate on Free Trade.

I can't speak for HN posters in general, but a lot of people I know are pretty positive on globalization and open trade as a concept, but against these specific treaties because of the staggering amount of power they put into the hands of giant corporations.

This analysis doesn't mention lithium at all, which is odd considering Tesla's cars and solar panels both need batteries to be useful. Most of the world's lithium is currently coming out of Chile, Argentina, Australia; in the future it may be coming from Bolivia.

There are some domestic reserves; I'm speculating, but perhaps a less pro-trade, less environmentally-protecting, more pro-domestic-industry administration will try to de-emphasize international supply and favor domestic extraction?

In Haskell and PureScript, Monad is a typeclass just like any other.

They are an abstraction, effectful computation is not inherent to them, they represent computational contexts, e.g. the list monad is used to model non-determinism, the maybe monad represents computations that can fail, both of these are pure.

This is an excellent set of posts for building an intuition about monads: http://mvanier.livejournal.com/3917.html

I agree that free trade is generally a good thing but the TPP had too many serious problems to make up for that.
China is not part of TPP.
I've been revisiting this as I've been helping my wife with a class on it. I'd say free trade in general is a net positive for the world but agree that it's hard to explain that to someone in the US that just lost their job. Those cheaper goods help most Americans too. I don't know enough about TPP to comment on specifics.
The compensation of the sea motion reminds me of how Zelda Link's Awakening sea intro sequence was done on the Game Boy. It's suprising how two sea-themed games can make use of the same techniques accross vastly different hardware :)

I think abandoning TPP is a mistake. TPP is for curbing China influence. I think many Americans underestimate China. They are a lot more powerful than they show.
Harz 4 I think adds up to about 800 or 900 euros per month with all benefits combined, which is a lot less than 3000.

Our rent is 490 euros net per month (in Berlin) for a 1BR apartment but we're looking for a 2BR at the moment so our kid can have his own bedroom. This will probably end up costing about 800 eur/m net (not a central or hip location, but close to transit).

Also, while Germany has high income taxes it has lots of tax relief for being married and having kids. I think we ended up paying maybe 15% income tax last year (1 kid, wife earning minimally). Plus lots of subsidies for childcare & education (in Berlin even more than in other places in Germany).

You can definitely easily support a family of 3 or 4 with a single wage in that range.
IMHO Valgrind is immensely useful for debugging crashes.
25% does not make a mandate.

Edit: Only ~50% of eligible voters voted. Half of those voted for the winner. That's only 25% that actively voted in support of the winner.
2FA via an insecure channel (like SMS) is dangerous.

2FA with, say, a hardware token or even a phone app is generally pretty good.

One could say he's already done it.
Chappelle continued that what Trump said didn't sound like "sexual assault" to him and that the media "twisted" Trump's words. "He said, ‘And when you’re a star, they let you do it.’ That phrase implies consent. I just don’t like the way the media twisted that whole thing. Nobody questioned it.”
It's an interesting problem! There's a lot of pieces that are equally strong "personal identifiers" to a phone number, including your carrier tying your IP address to your IMSI. Add to that, if both parties of the communication are under surveillance, there's going to be strong time correlations.

You're describing a very different use case than what I use Signal for (discussing things that could be harmful for clients if it got out, not things where I'd want repudiation).

I think my use case is relatively well solved, but I'd be super curious to see how algorithms could be changed to solve yours.
Somehow in the context of the surveillance state I find myself arguing in favor of the FBI, but here goes:

Child abuse is the least defensible crime that could exist. As such, CP rings tend to be understandably paranoid and risk-averse. If anything appears to give the impression that they are being monitored, you can say goodbye to the arrest of another monster lurking in the shadows. That's why it's necessary to sting as many people at a time when the authorities get their chance, because once the window closes, anyone who gets away can either go off the grid or distribute in another ring, perpetuating their crime and thereby increasing demand for CP.

It's pretty ugly to think about a federal agency knowingly distributing child pornography. I often wonder what kinds of psychological effects it has on the Bureau's agents. But child abuse is a horrible thing, and it is difficult to consider anything but the swift and absolute elimination (arrest and elimination from the network, not execution) of producers, distributors, and the abusers themselves.
I have 6,000 karma. I agree with one sixth of your comment.
Trade is a tool. It should be used to further the national interests of the USA. Last election hinted that there is more to the USA than Wall Street, Silicon Valley and Hollywood.

People always talk about the last 100,000 years as though that is a good scale to talk about this issue. Reality is, current global warming is part of a cycle that has existed way longer than us. Our real problem is that we are speeding up a process, not creating it.
And this "open. ..." blog is behind the paywall.

What those numbers show, at first glance, is the characterization of Bush 2 as an idiotic war-mongering chimpanzee has finally worn off in the forefront of the national consciousness.
It is amazing to witness. Especially since free and open trade is unquestionably responsible for so much economic growth. It is especially important for countries like the US who were always going to need to move higher up the value stack as they had to complete with cheaper overseas labour.

The US is very much going the way of the UK. Slowly but surely moving towards irrelevancy.
On one podcast I was listening too they held a survey asking people whether trade deals were "good", "bad", "I don't know", "I think it's complicated". When following up, neither the "good" nor "bad" responders could answer questions about how trade deals worked (whereas the other categories had a better grasp).

Trade deals are hard, I believe one of the reasons we have been so successful at finding private tax evaders was in the same trade deal that killed Detroit.
Europe has a trade surplus, they aren't doing so well.

Australia has been running a deficit for ages. They have been doing splendidly.

Also, often a trade deficit is just a statistical artefact: if the Chinese ship a billion t-shirts to the US, and in return get a skyscraper in Manhattan, that skyscraper-for-t-shirts trade will show up as contributing to the trade-deficit, just because the skyscraper doesn't move.

(Some for them buying some silicone valley company instead of the skyscraper. And America is good at producing lots of those companies.)
Thanks for the clarification on TOR. I guess I should change "virtually impossible" to something more moderate like "extremely difficult" as colluding with a network to gain access to the network.

How reliable would this approach be if, say, 100x the number of people who currently use TOR start using it?
I meant that of all the feeds, a small proportion of the content is valuable. I have to look at the non-valuable content to determine that it isn't valuable. I would like it if an automated system could score the content based on my criteria and behavior, reducing the amount of non-valuable content I have to filter manually.

As I understand it, that's the functionality Winds promises, but it only does it with a predetermined set of feeds, which isn't useful to me.
Walk to a Target with $200 cash and no electronic devices on you. Buy a prepaid android smart-phone and a pre-paid airtime card, and activate them using said device.

Too bad meta-data and social graphs will screw you over anyways. Unless you don't use the device for interacting with people you know, in which case, what's the point?
I'd love to know what "super fast" means. Are we talking about ETL jobs that would take hours? We run our batch file processing jobs in Python. It's not the fastest. But in a world where we can bring up more instances/containers to help process the work faster, I'd love to know how much faster COBOL is at these jobs that it'd be interesting to consider against the alternatives.
I said a thing or two like that... twenty or thirty years ago. I've grown up a bit since then, though. And I'm younger now than Trump was when he said that.
I've been working with Go for 4 years and I've not encountered it. Perhaps there was an edge case where it was allowed, but I don't recall it.
The 25% is a consequence of the Electoral College system. And before someone says "well, we should just go by popular vote" - if the election was determined by popular vote, the campaigns would have completely different strategies, with different participation and outcomes.
If you don't think that exactly the same shit is happening in the West, you're just in denial. How do you know there is much much more of it China? Because the media said so? Because you know that first hand? Because... what?

The West has some of the best hackers on the planet... you don't think at least some of them work for the establishment ensuring that you're well identified, tagged, understood, documented, tracked?

Stop kidding yourself. You might think you're free, but you're just the product of the media you and your friends and family consume, echoing exactly what you've been conditioned to echo. Some of it is quite probably true fact. Much of it is probably some version of the truth you've been spoon fed since childhood. The rest is bullshit you've been fed in the hope that it'll continue to propagate the machine that keeps everyone towing the line.

Are you really free? Do you know that for sure?
> Globalism is good for people overall

Globalism may indeed be good for 3rd world countries, as their wages and the wages of 1st world countries will tend to converge. This is obviously not good for 1st world workers, who still have 1st world house payments, taxes, etc.

An argument could be made that the 3rd world countries also suffer, as they end up being dictated to by the much stronger 1st world countries, and give up much of their sovereignty. 1st world countries also give up some sovereignty, which doesn't sit well with the general populous, as the beneficiaries of that loss of sovereignty are the multinational corporations, not the man on the street.
I am sad to say that it seems many countries have gone in the same direction as the United States; the European Union recently rejected a free-ish trade agreement with Canada.
The other poster meant that China can make deals with these countries that were originally on the TTP list. And that their deal could lock us out etc.
Globalization is not inevitable nor irreversible. Pre-WWI the world was globalizing rapidly, but with WWI, the Great Depression/inter-war era, etc. it suffered massive setbacks. They were not pleasant setbacks for pretty much anyone involved.
Can someone explain to me why the sentiment on here has changed? If I remember correctly, when we first learned of this TPP, everyone here was up in arms that it was a secret cabal designed to infringe on innovation. I think there was an EFF blog post describing those sentiments.
That link is dead here... this works: http://kzone.winosx.com/posts/links-awakening-rendering-the-...

Edit: after reading said post, it's a great explanation of the techniques used in Link's Awakening's intro. That game looked gorgeous on the B/W Gameboy, it's cool to actually understand how they managed to pull it out technically.
It would be nice, if that person can find work. But I don't know what you mean by `should be given work'. I don't think we should force anyone to employ them.
IIRC manufacturing is like 3% of American jobs. Not sure why the American people care so much about it. It's gone and not coming back.
No, but losing the Rust Belt cost the Democrats the election. The loss of manufacturing cost a lot of jobs in that region.
> but 99% of the big vocal trump supporters at this side of the ocean are racist and xenophobic like there is no tomorrow.

Are you sure about this. I mean I don't know. But anyone you ask it always goes: "These people are scary and are Nazis".

When I listen to Nigel Farage - I'm like - it seems reasonable - but then someone is like "let me educate you...blah blah blah".

If someone is saying someone is a Nazi, then you back the fuck away from what ever you were just thinking.

There will always be some of the crazies like this. But on both sides. I mean there will be full communists on the left. But the white-supremist kind of crazies are definitely the worst.

I think these topics are too taboo that no one goes near them. And again I would say that this election was decided in the no-mans-land of race and religious relations that no moderate dare touch for fear of being labelled a racist for going anywhere near it.
It sure does. We're all going to have to live it. It doesn't get more mandate-y than that.
This detects a face and displays the attributes it calculated about it. That's pretty interesting though from the title I thought it was something that looked up people and displayed their name, etc.

Pretty cool though ultimately it just takes the Halo Lens input, sends it to the Microsoft Face API[1] and displays its results.

In that case, virtually no elected official in the US has ever had a mandate, and our government should therefore do nothing.

Yes, lots of potential voters don't vote. They made that choice. It's not a new choice. This election is not much different from any other. We'd surely argue that Obama or Reagan had mandates, but they also didn't clear 50% of eligible voters. Indeed, even in Reagan's "landslide" 1980 election, he won only 50.7% of the popular vote, and only 52.6% of voters turned out - numbers not radically different from this time around - 47.2% of the popular vote where 56.9% of voters turned out.
The problem with this argument is that numerous studies have shown that trade is responsible for a small proportion of manufacturing jobs lost in America in the past few decades.

Increases in productivity and automation have been shown to be responsible for most of the job losses, and those would have happened with or without free trade agreements. In fact, the US manufactures more things than it ever has before -- it simply does so with fewer workers.

This means that restrictions on trade won't bring many jobs back. If US companies have to manufacture things in the US, they will automate their factories as much as possible to save money.

These articles cite the studies I mentioned, and are pretty good in general:

Year End Tips to Increase Small Business Profits
Farewell, America
Just about the only thing Congress has been doing for the last 6 years is preventing the president from doing anything. Seriously, that's it. So if that's your criteria for congressional success, mission accomplished.

However, pushing back against the president is only one of many things Congress is designed to do. Other things include governing the country and dealing with its problems. These are the tasks they have been useless at. Long on obstruction, short on governance. It's what their supporters elected them to do, so in some sense they are doing the will of the constituents, but it doesn't make it any more adult or responsible or constructive.
Serverless? Err, yeah, right...
Just for now:

Obviously I disagree with the "out of bounds" analysis, and something has prompted Americans to buy arms at unprecedented rates, and for years with few breaks, more each month than the same month in the previous year. During a grinding recession.... And there's been no changes in concealed carry law for a full 5 years and 10 days; that's a factor, but it doesn't explain how the entire supply of rifles of military utility dried up....

Perhaps, with my being here, and you obviously not, we should agree to disagree on it?

As for the Nazis, you're confusing national with international socialists, and if we just view that as an internecine fight, we all know how nasty those can get. Plus Hitler hated the Weimar socialists with a burning passion, I'm told by one source more than the Jews, and come to think of it from my recent readings on the development of the atomic bomb (Rhodes especially), they were a higher priority target in the civil service, see e.g. Richard Courant.

As for your armed insurgency, from everything I'eve heard the AR-18 "Widowmakers" were more infamous (certianly a better rifle, Eugene Stoner atoning for the AR-10/15), and on that note, maybe the difference between subject and citizen also can't be bridged.
I am actually building this on top of Docker, so technically that's already implemented (I'm actually testing this locally).

However...it does have some current caveats (can only run on a single machine, and definitely not something you'd want to run in production).

But it's (with more features obviously) something I've considered for v1 as an enterprise/maybe OSS feature (as most enterprises would love to host it themselves/behind their firewall/on their private cloud)
I think perhaps you didn't click on the link? This calls the Microsoft Face API and simply returns back attributes about the face you're looking at.

If corporate america and the government had been less greedy and not insisted in rolling in corporate sovereignty and absurdly broken copyright and patent laws into free trade deals and considered providing some sort of relief to people negatively affected in the short term we wouldn't be having this backlash.
Yes. Everyone did.

Because globalism is not going anywhere. Trump can't isolate the US without dramatic, negative consequences. Trade war with the China ? Economists predict a worldwide recession. Tariffs on Mexico to pay for the wall ? Good luck to US agriculture.
Yep. /r/The_Donald is essentially the main distribution channel of /pol/.

Why should anyone have empathy for those that have no empathy for anyone?
The nostalgia! I programmed my first game in my early teens in AS2! Those were the days... Hehe. I think Macromedia Flash/ActionScript 2.0 were the perfect tools to get started with programming, I was really lucky. I don't think I would have done much with a mere C++ command line back then.
I like the simplicity of this solution, but it might be a good idea to combine it with other relatively simple measures that dampen the "first comment effect," such as randomizing which comments show up at the top, as others have suggested in other threads here.
Trade deals and transparency unfortunately don't go well together. Trade deals are negotiations — the government can't just decide what to do, since they're dealing with other governments. There needs to be a give and take. If negotiated in public it is way too easy for carefully balanced deals to collapse in the face of opposition from small subgroups even if the net impact is moderately good for lots of people.

The flip side is that it is not great that this results in influential industry groups having way too much power. Not sure how to resolve this.
I know a lot of people are down about trump winning but I don't think it will be that bad.

> "Come and cuddle" isn't really the same thing as not firing someone.

True, but it's not like he was gonna fire Trump voters just for being Trump voters. So not firing them is not enough. They also want to get listened to, and they want the feminists and the "SJW"s to accept that they are oppressed now as well. Which will simply never happen.
