> You're entitled to free speech, you're not entitled to a captive ear to hear it.

Ironically a captive ear is exactly what SJW's demand, and if you fail to oblige you're a (delete as appropriate) straight/white/male/able-bodied/cis-gendered/dudebro who is "part of the problem" and "literally Hitler". I'm so disappointed in how partisan YC has become, capitulating completely to prevailing meme of SJWs. It's becoming less about "make something people want" and more "care about what people think".
What do you mean? It meets all six goals:

- Be verifiable - you should be able to see your own vote.

You can view the print out of your vote before it drops into the secure box.

- Be auditable - anyone should be able to tally up the results of the election.

Anyone can count the paper ballots

- Be secure - it must not leak anyone's vote to anyone else.

It's on an unidentified piece of paper

- Be genuine - it should be cryptographically impossible to commit voter fraud.

Well, you have to rely on standard methods of preventing voter fraud, but since there have only been five cases of proven voter fraud in the history of US elections, it's not really a big deal

- Be tamper-proof - it must be impossible to forge results from the inside.

Since the paper is in the machine and verified by a human, you can't really tamper with it any more than you can tamper with paper ballots today, and since those or monitored by adversarial groups, it's basically impossible to tamper with them.
Why FiveThirtyEight Gave Trump a Better Chance Than Almost Anyone Else
Did not expect to see "cfdrake" when I initially clicked the link - nice port! :)

Agreed with e28eta - I actually saw RubikSwift demoed at Swift Summit a few days ago as well and enjoyed it. Definitely check it out if you're interested in the topic.
Ha .. not unexplained. I am part of a few "deals" websites. People inexplicably want to collect all of them! They have predictions on what Amibos will sell out, so people can buy 'em sooner rather than later. Lots of crazy stuff. I thought it was to make a profit but it seems there are genuine collectors out there.
Neither here nor there now, but would Obama or was Obama planning on giving up on it regardless of winner? If so, why wait till after election results?

Why not undercut one of Trump's platform items before the elections?

I've probably spent 2% or less of my programming career coding directly against Win32 and POSIX APIs, so I'm not the best person to be answering, but I find the other replies miss an important point.

Linux developers look at the Win32 API and think it's too complex. But Win32 developers might look at Linux (or any POSIX) and think it just pushes the complexity out into user code.

Someone in this thread brought up process creation (fork/exec vs. CreateProcess). fork/exec is simple, but there are a lot of pitfalls you have to be aware of. If you don't care about the result of the process, too bad, you still have to set up a SIGCHLD handler to waitpid or whatever or else you'll end up with a zombie process--which you probably won't notice, but your customers eventually will, at the most inconvenient moment.

Or if your process is running as root and you want to launch a child process as a different user, you have to do this VERY carefully (calling setsid, setgid, setgroups in exactly the right order--oh and I almost forget about seteuid and setresuid, setegid and setresgid).

Or take a look at writing to a socket; the individual APIs involved are all very simple but you have to know to ignore SIGPIPE or else your process will terminate if the connection is broken while you're writing.

Bottom line is that when I write against Windows I spend more time reading docs, and when I write against POSIX I spend more time googling and debugging.
Are you a copyright lawyer? I'm thinking not, because cases like Feist v. Rural Telephone make it pretty clear what "facts" mean in the context of things you can copyright.

Well, they did just get free advertising in the form of this TechCrunch article. Wouldn't be surprised if other news outlets pick on up on the story as well, with the spin of "the hot new Christmas toy".

From that perspective, having short supply on release day seems like a decent plan. Once they get the publicity, I bet the supply increases to match demand within the following month.
How to Prevent Falling in the Trap of the “Next Big Project”
Clinton's opposition was an election season aberration. Sanders, being an actual leftist and mostly uninterested in the concerns of multinationals, opposed it from the start, as he did NAFTA and others.
The US government already props up many of these industries too, like corn farmers and green energy. If you're in the corn business or making solar panels, you can bet you're gonna lobby for continued support.

Tech certainly started from a government investment, but at this point much of it is probably self sustaining. In-Q-Tel makes up a small % of venture investments (mostly in defense-useful areas), and most of the money stems from B2C or B2B.

> Above all we should not be imposing regulations to force these industries out of business

Agreed. I'd also argue we shouldn't be imposing regulations to play favorites, because that has the side effect of hurting other businesses. Should the government help taxi cab companies or uber? Greater regulation favors the cab companies, which powers lobbyists to keep things the way they are.

Part of this digresses into what you think the role of government should be. Personally I don't think government should try to be our parents: it should level the playing field, try to stay out of the way, and let market forces shape most of the economy, intervening only for the important stuff like environment. The reasons are varied and some philosophical, but if you're starting from different beliefs you'll see things differently.

Usually when people make this argument they're wrong, but not in this case. I'm disturbed by OP's low-quality trolling.

When you're a dissident or ideological minority in any context, it's absolutely essential at all times to be the kindest, gentlest, sweetest person in the room. That way, when they ban you for "feeling unsafe," it's obvious to everyone what's going on.

Obviously OP wasn't actually a danger to anyone. That's ridiculous. But there isn't any world where you can be a dissident and also be a dick, and get away with it.

While I agree that the EU is divided, I doubt Russia will rule over Europe. Russia is a lot weaker than it was during the Cold War, and Europe is a lot stronger. A lot.

That said, Putin plays a subtle game, and his ties to various European extremist groups is certainly cause for worry. He will continue to destabilize Europe, but a lot more than that is needed for Russia to rule over Europe. Though if the EU is sufficiently divided, the Baltics are definitely within reach.

No.

More accurately - probably not. It depends how the actuators work and whether they include optical monitoring of the twist.

If so, the solution won't need to monitor the colours, but it will need to make sure the actuators spin the sides accurately.

Otherwise - cube explosion.
Oh I see, that makes sense. Agreed. Thanks.
> Yes, this is bad. It goes against human rights, freedom of speech, globalisation and many of the principles of the free world.

I find it very interesting that you're putting the globalization in the same group as human rights and freedom of speech.

> We know this because it is what the media is telling us everyday 24/7.

No. We know it goes against freedom of speech by definition. We know it goes against human rights, because suppressing freedom of speech is one of the main ways to get away with violating human rights. We know being able to get away with violating human rights is bad, because we don't want that to happen to us. You don't need to blame media on what can be explained by reasoning and empathy. Media has enough to be blamed for already.

> And there is no way that intelligent and decent Chinese people support this, right?

Of course there is. History is full of intelligent and decent people supporting decisions that range from distasteful to downright horrific. Being intelligent has little to do with this kind of decision. "Decent", on the other hand, is hard to define and agree on. At best, it's a really low bar to clear.

> Whoever that support such censorship which clearly violates the principles that we hold so dear must be uneducated and uninformed deplorables, right?

That would obviously follow if your previous statement were correct.

> Oh now I see that you are being sarcastic and I am offended, let me give you a lesson on freedom of speech by downvoting you.

You seem to be under a false impression that freedom of speech means freedom of consequences. Just like freedom of speech doesn't protect you from legal consequences of falsely shouting "fire" in a crowded theater, it won't protect you from the court of public opinion.

I consider any downvotes to your comment rightfully earned, because it oversimplifies a very complex topic without adding anything to the discussion of it. Worse, the tone of it leads me to believe that it is meant to actively discourage discussion and disagreement.
They need not be refugees either. But Trump's new laws ban the "immigration" of Muslims. This means, a freeze on green-card approvals based on religion. If you don't have a green-card, you have to leave this country. Not all deportations are carried out by ICE.

P.S: Green-card applications could be active for over 8 years with no-fault. The system is just that screwed up.
This is very crass and I apologize in advance if you do not wish to answer. But have you experienced VR porn? I am not ashamed to say that I have, albeit through non-dynamic fixed position video in a google cardboard video (think, split screen from two side-by-side cameras at a wide angle). The experience was rather unpleasant and disorienting, not much of a clear advantage over regular video porn beyond the fact that it takes up much more of your field of view.

In response to more important parts of your comment, the most exciting applications of shared visions and unlimited screens I feel will come through mixed and augmented reality. The sharing experience is much greater when you can also see the person you are interacting with rather than just an avatar. The visual speed of communication will need real, emotional anchors unless you are willing to trade nuance and subtlety for the speed of digital visual communication, which could have disastrous implications for how we communicate with one another. Infinite screens, though, better hope that higher density VR displays will keep coming and processing power will expand with that. Text and traditional interfaces are very difficult in VR right now since everything is sharing what is really a small amount of pixels for how much of your FoV they inhabit.
Also this year's Fire Emblem Limited Edition (really frustrating, the box is excellent – they are now sold for at least 2x the original price) and probably any 3DS special edition.

But consumers with too much money are also helping this "economy" with their purchase decisions. That eBay NES Classic in the parent comment was just sold for $610, more than 10x the retail price, and there are many other offerings. Just take a look at the completed listings and the prices that were paid.
So I read these comments in the Wall Street Journal and wanted to repeat them here. I was pretty depressed but David Van Wie's attitude has uplifted me and I believe that I will follow his example. I'm the opposition now.

You better believe it is. Now, Mr President-elect, you are entrusted with the hopes and dreams of 60 million people who made you president of all 320 million Americans. In spite of everything they knew about your shortcomings and character flaws, they still chose you.

You made many, many extravagant promises, Mr. President-elect. Lots of people were paying attention and now expect that the amazing people you appoint to replace the incompetent idiots there before will stand and deliver for the country. You talked a good game, and now you need to put up your best stuff under a white hot spotlight.

More people voted for your opponent. Remember that when you say, "I won" as if you came into town with the wind at your back instead of through the mysteries of the Electoral College. It ain't bragging if you got it. Do you got it? Time will tell.

The job requires absorbing constant criticism 24 hours a day for 1,500 days in a row, unless you are reelected. Then you can have 1,500 more days of unrelenting criticism. The rap on you is that you can't take criticism at all. Show us what you've really got! Show the world that you are better than your critics think you are.

$610 was the selling price.
I don't think this is worthy of a response. Try again if you like.
I run an aggregator using wordpress, feedwordpress plugin, and related post plugin - it does a good job of "grouping" articles of a similar topic. So I get a good idea of what other news sources has said about that topic. - it took 10 mins to setup.
I can't imaging they would do that intentionally and on their own will.
It's too obvious and just provides more arguments for the anti-trust complaint.
> It's not hurting anyone, it's just a stupid retro console.

It's hurting the people who are forced to pay $600 for a $60 item because they need one (e.g. a must-have gift for someone).

It's hurting the people who wanted to buy one for $60 but cannot afford to buy one for $600.

So yeah, it's hurting basically everybody who had any interest in buying the product.
Agreed, but easier said than done. Also it's unclear if Trump will be able to sell it to his multinational corporate supporters.

Maybe the UEFI specification should have implemented a way to distribute keys, though that would have been seen as a way to lock out smaller Linux distros. Maybe the ability to self sign keys should be part of the specs, I'm not sure it isn't, but that adds an additional security risk with fresh hardware.

"Leave it to Beaver" families are not the only type, nor do children only exist in family contexts. It's rather conceited to make assumptions that assume only the best-case scenarios, or that problems only come from incompetence.

A more recent example I've personally seen is with a foster parent where several abused children were homed together. Their birth parent would consistently break visit rules, and attempt to establish side channel communications (facebook, email) with the kids so she could coach them on what to say in court. They agreed to do so, despite being extremely unhappy about the situation. They were happier in their new foster home than they'd ever been before, and yet they were overwhelmingly complicit with the demands of their schizophrenic birth mother.

Parental controls are useful in such scenarios where the children don't have normal baselines. Not only that, but when given unfettered access to a computer, kids will literally download anything they perceive as fun. Many games, game mods and the sites that host them include malware. Yes, parents should talk with them about safe browsing and downloading, but being a good parent and yet not understanding computers is entirely possible. Simple free software for controlling usage schedules and quantities should be baked into the system.
That's a grotesque misrepresentation of the article to change the title in that manner.
Why Should SEO Go Hand-In-Hand with UX (And Finding the Sweet Spot)
> Yeah, a business model is more important than the non-copyrightable nature of facts.

I fail to see your point. The law should be applied with a dose of common sense. The organizers are not barring anyone from the "facts" as you put it just trying to get a lead in broadcasting. The law upholds the rights of organizers of other sports eg football and boxing based on their peculiarities and in case you are not aware is frequently biased in defense of their commercial rights (one only needs recall the absurdities surrounding the olympics).

For years, chess has suffered from crises caused by lack of sponsorship for events. If this ruling serves to deter future sponsors and leads to uncertainty or cancellation of matches (which has happened before) then what good is that?
Anybody have a link to the complaint/application for a TRO? A lot of the comments here are talking about copyright law, but most protection or attempted protection of data is done with licensing agreements. I would guess FIDE could require the people viewing in person and on the FIDE website to agree to not disseminate accounts of the game as a condition of being allowed to watch. I'd be interested to learn if FIDE has actually attempted to limit it this way, or if the debate is truly over copyright issues. And also if they did ask for the TRO on licensing grounds, was it because their licensing scheme was invalid, or just because the type of harm they were likely to suffer didn't rise to the level needed to qualify for injunctive relief.

Market arbitrage is 'wrong' insofar as, if someone "deems [the product] worth that price", then the compensation for the created value should go to the people who created that value. To do otherwise is to deprive the market of the signalling tokens (dollars) it uses to propagate information about what things there should be more of, back to the people who make things.

The ultimate arbitrage, after all, is communism, where a central actor soaks up all the profits, and then is left with the responsibility of figuring out who should make more of what themselves, because hell if the producers know.
Nope, you are not alone. I have had many times when I had a question or thought and there was no one else in the company really to talk to. There is normally a larger engineering team, but a small data science/engineering team (of one) in the small companies I have worked in. It would be great in those cases to have a group of people to bounce ideas off of.

I think it's funny that Europe wanted the US off their soil since the end of the Cold War. Now that Russia is moving westward, they are all worried about the US leaving.

The thing you're talking about is, regardless of its accuracy, distant from this situation.
Sounds like Nintendo, along with a bunch of other companies, need to take a page out of USSR's book. The way it worked there is that you put your name on the list to buy, say, a car. And when the car is actually manufactured, you get to buy it. Big product launches like this could really benefit from a system like that.

I know some places already do this: x.ai comes to mind. They even had a thing where you could move yourself up in the queue by getting others to sign up.
