Interesting enough the left, for example Chomsky, has been talking and opposing globalization / NAFTA for years.

https://chomsky.info/secrets03/

(excerpt)

---

The day after NAFTA passed, the New York Times had its first article on its expected impact in the New York region. (Its conclusions apply to GATT too.) It was a very upbeat article. They talked about how wonderful NAFTA was going to be. They said that finance and services will be particularly big winners. Banks, investment firms, PR firms, corporate law firms will do just great. Some manufacturers will also benefit-for example, publishing and the chemical industry, which is highly capital-intensive with not many workers to worry about

Then they said, Well, there’ll be some losers too: women, Hispanics, other minorities, and semi-skilled workers-in other words, about two-thirds of the work force. But everyone else will do fine. Just as anyone who was paying attention knew, the purpose of NAFTA was to create an even smaller sector of highly privileged people-investors, professionals, managerial classes. (Bear in mind that this is a rich country, so this privileged sector, although smaller, still isn’t tiny.) It will work fine for them, and the general population will suffer.

The prediction for Mexico is exactly the same. The leading financial journal in Mexico, which is very pro-NAFTA, estimated that Mexico would lose about 25% of its manufacturing capacity in the first few years and about 15% of its manufacturing labor force. In addition, cheap US agricultural exports are expected to drive several million people off the land. That’s going to mean a substantial increase in the unemployed workforce in Mexico, which of course will drive down wages.

Note at the bottom the connection between immigration (another hot topic) and NAFTA. I am not sure Trump ever mentioned that, probably not but Chomsky did. I remember reading that from him the first time.
The US$19.99 price is a bit steep to buy sight-unseen. That's more of an App Store problem than Blink's fault. Obviously the price is fine if it works better than Prompt.
Actually, the electronics analogy is apt for more difficult cases than the OP's. If communications are encrypted or signed you may be out of luck unless you can extract the software from one of the devices; sometimes that's almost impossible, sometimes it can be done but only by disassembling the device (frequently an irreversible process) and reading the data off an EEPROM chip or something. If the protocol directly involves hardware (e.g. hardware crypto), then the state of the art permits nothing better than experimentation, combined with some crude 'in vivo' attacks like differential power analysis. In theory, after decapping and delayering the chip (also irreversible), a scanning election microscope can show the transistor layout clearly enough to reconstruct its functionality, but no software exists to do this automatically, and with billions of transistors good luck doing it manually.

The current level you're playing at is: protect against script kiddies, XSS, and drive by server attacks.

The level that system would play at is: protect against other nations with sophistication at the level of the NSA, protect against other nations that compromise an employee of said system, and to protect against large scale DDOS attacks during a critical time in our democracy

The presidential election would arguably be the biggest target of hackers. With the right hack you're essentially directing hundreds of billions of dollars where you want to if you elect the right candidate.

Of course there are multiple elements of the ruling class with different interests. But I think it's also safe to say there are a lot of issues where Republicans and Democrats are in complete agreement and their constituents are not.
This is perfect! I have so many friends who would LOVE to switch gears into tech (and use web development to save the world).
Sure, that's true. Still, I don't think it's going to help do anything other than push the idea that white men are under attack, which is the lie that to me, seems to be fuelling the Trump train.
Can you point to any verified reports of her corruption?
The United States looks beautifully calm and crime-free in Chrome 54 (Mac).
A component, a la React, is merely an opinion on MVC. M are props, and V is a pure function of these props. React encourages both M and V to live in the same file, which is a deviation from best practices in MVC land. But there is still an M and a V.

C, in the front-end world, has less of a direct equivalent, but can be thought of as your router, which React also has as a separate entity.

What MVC does not have an opinion on, is that the M is really one giant object, where each component receives a sub object of it. Where MVC can go wrong is when many objects have dependencies between their state. React comes along and says that two objects with a dependency should derive this shared state from something above them, not inside them. This is a useful pattern. It is still merely an opinion on how to organize Ms in an application. It is not something "different".

In functional programming, in its purest sense, there is no M. That's different.

Straight-up wizardry.
I've looked at chalice very shortly, and it was really nice to easily set up an API Gateway -> Lambda connection, we haven't really looked at it for our non api-gateway uses.
I think a major problem with this proposal is that all votes could eventually be knowable. Let's be honest, the state of the art encryption we use today will one day be sub-par. New has become antiquated a dozen times over the last 30 years already.

Put enough compute behind that blockchain and eventually you'll crack it, or run Shor's algorithm on the first Quantum Computer and votes from a decade ago are now public.

My contacts in the intelligence community say this is their biggest fear with intercepted communications today. They may be 'secure enough' today, but some of the information moved around would still be devastating if it were decrypted 20 years from now by a bad actor, not all, but some.

The way you should go about this is little different IMHO. Have two blockchains, one that checks if people have voted, and one that records the vote. If you have not voted, then one anonymous vote may be added to the ledger of votes for final tallying. If you have voted, your request is blocked. Maybe you get a random key that gives you the right to add a vote if you pass the first checkpoint, but that key can not be associated with the record that you voted on the other blockchain.

Cool idea. I for one prefer physical voting. It sucks, but I feel safer with it.
Are the riots in Portland included?
Anyway, I wholeheartedly recommend reading Henry George's "Protection or Free Trade"[0], which both identifies why free trade is the right way forward, but also identifies all the suffering it is causing today. (The chapters "The real weakness of free trade" and "The real strength of protection" are amazingly insightful to what's happening to Trump's America.)

Some form of classification here might be helpful. Differentiating between yelling, physical alterations, and those that result in actual injuries as well as the nature of the event.
Facetious? Being flippant about a serious subject?
I've always wondered why the karma of the upvoter isn't weighed into the equation.

If someone like tptacek (with 259K karma) votes my comment up, I think that's a lot more relevant than someone with 300 karma.
The bulk of the reactor heat needs to stay in the reactor though, doesn't it? as that is essential in keeping the reaction going?

How does that affect the economics?
Typically political views haven't been viewed as a hate crime. So I believe that should be classified as just crime :).

A hate crime is generally one that is inspired by race/ethnicity and gender.
I can't believe this talk hasn't been posted yet!

Theory and Practice of Cryptography: Verifying Elections with Cryptography

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDnShu5V99s

This is probably one of the homomorphic schemes mentioned in TFA.

It's very old (2007-ish?) and the state of the art probably advanced, but it's very interesting and addresses a number of points that are not cared for in TFA (like secret ballots verifiable by the voter but impossible to prove to anyone else).
I still see people blaming Trump voters instead of the Democrats, so no?
Looking for Volunteer writer for a new and small Medium.com publication
If you are already writing about technology on your personal blog, let's write it together.

We are a group of writers on a newly made publication on Medium.com, we want to write about technology, productivity, self-improvement, travel and business categories.

I am not a good writer, I just want to have some other people to write to gather and also learn from them.

Please make a comment if you like to join us :)
Looks amazing - can't wait to try it!
FWIW, noticed a minor typo in www.blink.sh:

First of all, thank you. The effort of maintaining Qt in any way or form is ... nontrivial.

I've wanted to try this one out, but it looks like I'm maybe trying something too far off from mainstream. I like how the bindings can be built against incomplete Qt releases (iow. just the development packages available in debian sid); the build complains when some modules can't be found but continues nonetheless. Sure, it takes QT_DIR and PKG_CONFIG settings to build like this but I have no problem there.

So far I haven't found a way to build even the sample project against this type of custom build though. I'll try to find more time to dive in as to why this happens but I'm sure this is an error on my end. Once I figure that out, I should be able to provide a documentation update.

As to why? I have an old project which I need to revive, and being stuck in ancient GTK land with dubious bindings and even more dubious upstream practices sounds less appealing than porting things over.
That legend is 100% useless. I'm not even color blind but I might as well be given how many shades of teal are involved.

Please, please, put the labels on or near the lines if possible. I'm not asking for the full Edward Tufte treatment here, but something sane would be greatly appreciated.
just crime, or just crime?
I also don't see anything... I assume because there isn't enough data yet? "This map, along with other visualizations, will become functional after 25 crimes have been reported."
I like to tell this to people when they start gushing about Japan because of their cleanliness or law and order or whatever, but they didn't make private possession illegal until a couple years ago. Before then it was just production or possession with commercial intent that was illegal. And the new law still doesn't apply to manga/anime. Is Japan a hell-hole? Are Japan's children all psychologically ruined or at a much higher threat of abuse because of the prevalence of anime/manga porn? (Some quick googling on opened investigations suggests a mere 0.0075% of Japan's children are affected per year.) To me Japan seems fine. (Another odd behavior is that daughters bathe with their fathers, sometimes (like 6-10%) all the way up to high school age.)
Except no one knows who he's beholden to in his personal dealings, and he has effectively said that he will not place Trump Enterprises into a blind trust.
Fixed! Thanks :)
As I suspected, not a word about telling the truth or saying that reports will be validated. We've already had at least one incident where a person lied about a Trump supporter attacking them and committing a hate crime[1]. This easily encourages more lies.

Hi! I'm Stephanie Kim and wrote the article. This post and slides were from a talk I gave for a basic introduction to machine learning at a woman's programming conference in Seattle. I did update the language which was a mistake rather than a misunderstanding of Naive Bayes. I have professional machine learning experience and while I am definitely not an expert the talk was geared for web developers with no prior experience in machine learning. Thanks for your feedback.
I wish, I had a friend groped yesterday by a stranger who then screamed at her it was ok as it was trump america... WTF. I think the majority of trump supporters are against this shit, but yesterday was not fun to read facebook and all the stuff popping up from the alt right racists.
It'll be interesting to see whether you see many hate crimes with this - and whether they'll be different than the baseline before Trump was elected.

My gut tells me that there won't be a drastic upswing (in the belief of the basic decency of bulk of the American people), but let's see if that actually holds.

Edit: On a closer look - the data will be self reported, and the premise behind it is "there are serious consequences, and this is how we'll report them", which isn't necessarily the most fair way to go about things.
>> just crime

That's quite a witty double entendre!

If the revenue is local, you can tax it and provide a social safety net. Works using tariffs as well, but better to have the industry on your own soil.

His message resonated with a lot of people. His tactics exploited social media patterns and mass media patterns effectively. He also ran against a candidate plagued by scandal and widely disliked.

I would say that adding slashes is quite arbitrary constraint, and it is really language specific syntax that is limited to minority of languages (I believe it was introduced in Perl). If you do regexp in Java, Python, C you don't use slashes.

Edit: looks like slashes weren't even used in the example.

> We also can not overlook the fact that the market is already voting against US production with their wallets. The market is free to pay a premium for US made products, but clearly prefers lower cost goods.

So the rest of the country pays more food good and services in aggregate. Big deal. We do it with whatever tools are necessary, even tariffs.

EDIT:

> It would be much better to use the funds to re-educate this part of the population to work higher value jobs.

This opinion got Trump elected, and why drug use and death in rural America is epidemic. There are no higher value jobs coming to replace those lost to globalization. I know people with Masters degrees working at Starbucks and a Bail Bond shop.

Get off your high horse about market inefficiencies and realize "Let them eat cake" is what's taking us down the wrong path. Direct efforts must be made to help the most vulnerable members of our society, or they will burn the place down.
Thanks for the reply!

1. Loop detection does seem harder to implement but I'll definitely look into it (if the api service is used, it would be trivial to implement)

2. but multi-datacenter has almost been implemented (you can select from different service providers, regions or a combinations of each - and the functions would scale accordingly).

As for a database/key store...would integrating with database solutions from other cloud providers be of some consideration? (from GC / AWS / Azure?).

Keep in mind that all users would have access to environment variables (across projects/functions etc.) by default.
Great, let's put old authors into bankruptcy just because their publisher decided their work needed to be archived.

This idea is absurd. Classic copyright term limits, and patents being reserved for only specific implementations of an idea would fix these problems without taxing the hell out of everyone.

Ask HN: What features should the “ideal” RSS reader have?
I am planning on making an RSS reader because I don't really like the ones that are available. Most of them are freemium models which I always have some wariness with using since they usually get subsumed by bigger companies (flickr, delicious, instagram, firebase, instapaper, etc) and often discontinued.

I really believe in Pinboard's business model, and I think that an RSS reader using their business model (subscription model) would be really successful.

My question, What features would you want in a completely reimagined RSS reader? (Don't worry, I'm not planning on removing the proverbial headphone jack from the RSS reader)

It can be ideas that are totally from left field, or features that aren't even negotiable for an RSS reader to have. Don't worry if you'll sound pedantic. I really enjoy listening to pedantic feedback.

Thank you for your input!

In preparation to making this RSS reader, I built a clone of the FeedlyCloud product (https://app.pub.center). Basically it archives RSS feeds, offers a free REST api, and will charge money for push notifications. It's janky right now, but works.

This is also true, and does not contradict what I said. If people made all their choices about ensuring peace and prosperity, the world would be a heck of a lot more prosperous and peaceful. We do not.
Pretty neat, not that useful because non-interactive video visualizations rarely are. Also can be used to visualize other things. I've used it to show forum activity for example.
It's a pretty boring question if you don't make that requirement, though. The whole exercise is arbitrary, so it doesn't bother me.

If two commenters want to say the same thing, the first arrival will post it, and the second will upvote it (and maybe reply with additional information). So it's not surprising that top comments are weighted towards early arrivals. The question needs to be are there later comments that are objectively better that don't end up sorted higher when sorting by "best".

The "best" sort, by the way, does not use time as a factor, but rather generates a confidence score. Newer comments have less votes and thus less confidence (which ends up giving them a slight boost).
What with recent events, we need to realize the benefits of diversity.

Glad to see that there is a serious push to utilize tech more in social good verticals. Will keep this in mind.

It doesn't appear to be hooked up to a public database of hatecrimes, or anything like that (I don't imagine that exists). It seems to be 100% user reported, with no real proof required... just an optional link to social media where it was reported.
