I wouldn't mind working with your coding style either: though I don't have the same standards for braces and array initialization, you apply your style consistently across the whole code.
Facebook is located in the USA, if Facebook institutes its own ministry of truth do you think its more likely that they will antagonize the government or work with it like they have done thus far and comply with the requests of Trump Administration?
Women are different. The moment they become mothers their role changes. It's more of a switch society flips for them. So single mothers are probably the most independent and competent of any demographic. Unfortunately high paying work is hard to come by with both ageism and sexism in the work place.

My conclusions are not half-baked. They are baked into my being. I was raised by a single mother in Japan, then was fortunate to travel the world. She is also a professor in anthropology.

"Delicate balance of paradoxes" is half baked. I would be more qualified than anyone to talk about cultural paradoxes because according to you I'm probably full of them. But being in Los Angeles now I can say with confidence there are no paradoxes between cultures or race. We are all just people. Paradoxes only happen between words, and words do not own us, except, for some people they do. But that is not a paradox. That is a mere hardship.
I may be missing something here, but what do your two paragraphs of axe-grinding about women have to do with his remark about American "alt-right white-nationalist thug media"?
Many early microcomputers (including the MITS Altair) used standard audio cassettes for persistent storage. The CUTS and Kansas City standards were common interchange formats for cassette data, far cheaper than punched paper tape or magnetic tape reels.

The computer/cassette interface converted binary data to and from audio tones, which were then written and read via the microphone and headphone interfaces (usually 3.5" jacks) on a cassette recorder.

Sending this audio over free air would have resulted in "wireless data transfer" ...

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City_standard
Why is the end goal to be a better software engineer? It seems like to me that life itself (and hence work/life balance) should the priority of anyone. If anyone disagrees, I would love to hear your thinking.
You don't need to do this anymore. She lost. We're all suitably punished already.

How about you spend your time making us LIKE your candidate instead, like for example explaining how Trump isn't going to enact racial cleansing or set environmental protection rulemaking back 20 years?

Do you realize how much power and influence a Senator like John McCain has? Are you not concerned about that?
It's seems pretty obvious to me that they replaced the human curated news section with a far (and intentionally) inferior product. They knew people would eventually begin complaining about the new system and ask for the old system back.
To answer your specific question, the federal government deals with the same security vs. convenience dilemma that everyone else does. There are classified communications systems but they have fewer client devices and are harder to use.

Quite a few of the emails in Clinton's inbox that contained classified information were drafted by other people in other agencies (including CIA, NSA, etc) who either did not realize that a particular piece of info was classified, or who wanted to get it to her quickly through the most convenient medium--they did a risk/reward calculation and hit send.

The other thing to know about classified information is that it does not get unclassified just because it's public. So if I email you a NYTimes article about a classified drone strike program, you now have classified info in your inbox. Again, that explains some of the emails she had in her inbox--forwarding news stories around.

Finally, the amount of classified information is staggering and detailed. Like everyone knows that the government flies U2 planes for surveillance, but their maximum altitude and endurance might be classified. So it's possible to have an email that is mostly fine but includes a few classified details. This complexity is why it has taken so long to review and release all her emails. Every single one has to be reviewed by relevant experts.

In short, people hear "classified information" and immediately think of something like the "NOC list" of covert agents from Mission Impossible. The reality is that immense amounts of information are classified, and it's easy to screw up. There is a reason the FBI said that no prosecutor would bother prosecuting Clinton.
Not only in social media. The trend of the news in what were once subscription-only papers is disturbing as well now that they're online and supported in part by online advertising and eyeballs. I agree. Great book, written by someone who's been there.
7sensors – Amazing Growing Tech on Kickstarter
Right, but this is still a far cry from Go's runtime/scheduler. In particular, the Go runtime completely handles threading and async I/O for me. I'm not sure what C++17 coroutines look like, but I don't even have to explicitly yield (which is the case in other C++ coroutine libraries).
Damn, I have two of those errors in my own collection..sweet
See, just like that. Would be more effective with sources, though.
What if they added a flag button labelled "This post contains misinformation"? Then, if sufficient people click it, it is reviewed by a human editor.
You are not talking about the average person here. It depends on what circles you frequent but I am sure that most people in France are neither hardcore leftists nor FN supporters. Extremism is wrong from all sides.

> Both are stupidly gross generalizations that no-one should ever say.

Except that FN says that about Arabs and other minorities, that and much more.

> Leftists want to close the Catholic schools in France

What they want and what they can achieve is very far. I want a lot of things, doesn't mean most people agree with me and that they will give those things to me.

> We can either match your hatred with FN

Or you know, take the approach a normal person should and side with neither of the crazies. As I said, extremism and hatred from either side will not solve anything. Hatred brews hatred, the only way to defeat bigotry, closed-mindedness and ignorance from one side is not by joining the opposing side. It's by taking the middle road and trying to find meaning and think with your brain.
> the fact that people have real, profound problems, eh?

What does that even mean? Gut bacteria not real and profound enough for you?
Weex is one of those technologies. It was running on TaoBao app actually.

Pressure comes in many forms. Certainly, being able to handle pressure is a good thing. But how often is it needed and what kind of pressure is it? What kind of relief have you got?

As I understand it, the more common form of pressure would come from having to deliver things in a tight schedule, and perhaps in certain kinds of meetings and presentations. Not from being forced to work in a foreign environment with foreign computers & tools and unknown people hanging around, watching and JUDGING you. If a company puts an engineer in the latter position very often, it might be doing something rather wrong. Whereas in the former situation, employers can find relief in at least having colleagues they are familiar with and an environment they're used to & comfortable with.
1. She won a plurality of the popular vote. Yes, it's winning but it's not even a majority.

2. You don't get to just toss out rules because you lost. 3 days ago people were shitting on trump for this type of rhetoric.

3. The fact that the electoral college exists fucks up the popular vote. A republican has no voice in California, and a democrat has none in Texas. Having it be an actual popular vote would change voter behaviour pretty drastically.

4. The electoral college is not a system which values votes equally. A vote in California is worth less than a vote in wyoming. Some people like that because of the idea of tyranny of the majority. Some people say that's ridiculous and a popular vote is the only good system. Figure it out for yourself, I say that geographic based representation is why we have the senate. Of course I like the democrats and the coastal population centers would be a massive boost.

5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Intersta...

6. Fight for an amendment. Ranked voting in a popular vote based presidential election? Guess what not you can vote for bernie and johnson first before your vote finally goes to Clinton, instead of being whiny and ruining things for the rest of us.
Twitter is losing a loyal user
Indeed. And two countries most emboldened by a Trump presidency? Russia and China. China, US, Russia are the 3 top contributors to global warming by a significant margin.

China has 60% more CO2 emissions than the United States, but Trump's promise to wage war on clean energy while investing heavily in coal and oil, there's a good chance US will be back to #1.

So I guess the question is will civilization ultimately perish from climate change or nuclear war? With Trump at the helm, it's hard to say which happens first, but we can conclude that we're all fucked.
No offense, but your pro-police-state cheerleading against "illegal aliens" is terrifying. They're not taking your jobs, they commit crimes at a fraction of the native rate, and they are a net benefit to the economy (contribute taxes and labor without drawing any benefits).

Why terrorize these people? A path to legal citizenship is infinitely more humane, intelligent, and beneficial to all concerned.

It Can't Happen Here
"Stop the spread of misinformation" is a subset of "stop the spread of information", which is yet one more way of saying that some people can't stand the freedom of speech.
In fairness, I should mention that by "auto snopes" I mean "implement an auto-debunker" or even just "auto fair balance" which automatically adds "the other side" to anything linked on facebook.

I have no hat in the ring with respect to which side publishes the truth, I just think that if something is FALSE facebook could alter their UI to immediately debunk something.

Like the other quote of Trump saying "I'd run as a republican because they're the dumbest" could have a big "FALSE - he never said that" right underneath.

People who thought it was funny could still post it until their hearts were content - but nobody would be FOOLED

There's Alpine Linux, which ships with a grsec-patched kernel. It is doing a great job and in fact has become due to its size the officially preferred Docker container base distro. I really wish more companies got behind it.
I see you deleted your initial response (I have cached replies that enables me to see posts that were deleted), which is fine, but I wanted to respond to three of your queries. To respect your deletion I won't quote from it.

1. Here I am using the colloquial meaning of the word propaganda, which is ideologically biased information, usually it takes the truth but then stretches it to breaking point and beyond.

2. I do not possess a Facebook account. I don't even have a mobile phone. I don't watch Fox News in case you were curious. I hardly watch any television at all since I don't have one. Many readers of Hacker News do not have them, it's a common demographic in geek circles.

3. Class warfare is a real thing. It is not an extreme concept, it's a descriptor. Europeans like me frequently complain that Americans don't grok class or that Americans conflate 'race' with 'class'. You don't have to agree of course. Perhaps America is the one nation on the planet that didn't gradually evolve a class system as it matured ;-)

Humour aside, I do think this (gradually evolve a class system as it matured) is one of the major reasons why many American intellectuals are increasingly interested in old European ideas and books from the 18/19th centuries. Their resonance is much deeper than it used to be.
Whose standard argument?

I always thought: we work 40 hours a week because we work 8 hours a day; and we work 8 hours a day because Robert Owen's mantra "Eight hours' labour, Eight hours' recreation, Eight hours' rest" caught on.
That, or a public reaction to their product (ie, clickbait fatigue - Facebook gets really good at local optimization for the most engaging news posts but creates a news feed that convinces people that Facebook as a whole isn't worthwhile).

It basically needs to be serious enough to overwhelm the internal incentives of maximizing key performance indicators.
and? The constitution has had loads of dumb things in it that have had to be changed.

Americans seem to worship this 250 year old piece of paper. They put in an amendment process for good reasons.
what were the big errors made by Bill Clinton's administration that made it worse than any other typical 8-year period in recent US history?

His murdering a hundred religious dissidents in their home for starters? Their disproportionate viciousness towards anyone who happened to be in their way, e.g. Billy Dale, or committed lèse-majesté? To get on Obama's IRS shit list you have to engage in political activism and it's a nothing personal, just your group thing, it took way way less for the Clintons. There's lots more, which I'm not going to go into, for the simple fact is that I can now relegate the Clinton Crime Family into the ash heap of history.

As for "FEMA camps" et. al., I'm talking about the pre-FEMA period (when we still pretended to care about our civilian population surviving, my mother was in fact a Civil Defense Block Mother, I still have the metal sign), when re-education was a PRC and Communist Vietnam concept starting in the mid-late '60s (Cultural Revolution).

And if you think that's all horribly irrelevant nowadays, our current President launched his political career in the home of two of the most notorious of those engaging in the Left's beloved Direct Action, who explicitly planned to liquidate the roughly 10% of of the population they guessed couldn't be re-educated.

However, I'd say that especially with your takes on current history, we just aren't living in the same reality, and should keep our discussion narrowly focused.

Or just put it in the ash heap Hillary and Bill are now in ^_^, really, at this point what difference does it make?

How do they define misinformation as many grey area's, for example religion.

So in such grey area's one persons information is another's misinformation and that gets messy for anybody, let alone AI.
You don't need crypto. You just need a machine that prints out a human readable receipt that the voter can see but not alter, which then drops into a secure holding area on the machine.

At the end of the day, you randomly select say 1% of all the machines and hand count all the ballots inside, making sure the counts and votes match. If they do, then you can be reasonably sure it wasn't tampered with, and if they don't match, then you can hand count all the paper ballots using the old system to verify the computer.
Agreed, much more difficult, but ultimately the same way we do so? We believe certain ideas to be facts (hopefully based on scientific sources), then we parse incoming information in light of those.

I can't imagine an unprecedented breaking news story that has no basis in any factual information. I'm not talking about an upvoter here, but primarily a downvoter (incongruence with accepted facts being easier to prove than vice versus).
For everyone flagging this and trying to pretend it doesn't exist, that's a pretty significant part of why Trump won in the first place.

Engage with it. Understand it. Stop attacking ad hominem and learn to find common ground. You don't have to like it, or even remotely agree on all points, but if you want to see any of the progress you're looking for over the next 4 years then you have to get involved.
Take a joke. I was not actually advocating for anything.
From GM, anyway.

I see plenty of small cars around, but they're the Prius, Civic, Accord, Corolla, Camry, Fit, Golf, and Mazda3.
I don't think one can find the same quality of life in a comparable US city for a lower cost of living.

Portland, Oregon might be the closest counterexample that comes to mind, but it is an order of magnitude bigger — population of the greater metropolitan area is 2.4 million.

There is a fair amount of inexpensive housing here but not in areas with the same cultural values. (Perhaps Wellingotn wasn't the best example, but it's in the only NZ city I've been to firsthand.)

Feel free to shoot me an email (in profile) if you'd like to discuss more.
One tiny thing that might help in your analysis: Nintendo accidentally included all the symbol names and locations on the Wind Waker disc in a file called "framework.map".

Doing some basic demangling on the CodeWarriors names gives you C++ classes and methods:

http://funny.computer/cloud/Random/zww_functions.txt

The "sea" animation is controlled by "daSea" -- "da" meaning "dynamic actor" in Nintendo's naming terminology.

It's extremely unlikely they used texture distortion for the sea effect, since the GPU they used didn't have fragment shaders -- the only method of texture warping is INDTEXMTX, which was only used for the heat effects in Dragon Roost Cavern.

They probably modified UVs directly on their triangular sea mesh.

Smoke effects and such use their in-house particle engine, "JPA".
Another place where Facebook's failure to detect fakeness has proved costly is in their social graph.

A lot of sites moved away from comments platforms like Disqus to Facebook in the hope that the quality of discourse would improve and trolling would decrease. Instead, clicking on some of the most vehement commentators' names would invariably lead to suspiciously bare accounts (and often suspiciously fake names) with a handful of friends themselves, all with similar characteristics. Unfortunately the people who are influenced by this sort of thing are not tech savvy enough to do even this basic level of checking.

There is a a sort of "uncanny valley" that a technically savvy and experienced person can detect when looking at a fake profile, that I daresay Facebook's algorithms just can't.

Then there is also the problem that Facebook really doesn't care about blatantly fake accounts until they are reported. The sorts of people who are trapped in some filter bubbles are unlikely to be savvy enough to know how to report these profiles (I've reported many-dozens at least-ranging from community noticeboards to cupcake businesses, all pretending to be people and missed by FB's much vaunted ML)

Of course, there is a certain irony in using a throwaway account to discuss fake accounts, but without a patina of "realness", it triggers a greater level of skepticism, which is a good thing.

When the history of 2016 is written, a large part will be filter bubbles and trolls expertly manipulating huge swathes of electorates enabled by the hubris and greed of Social Media networks.
Great, I can expect every New York Times and Fox News article to be flagged by people who didn't like it.
Falsely accusing Trump and Trump supporters of being racist was the reason why Trump won the Primary.

Doubling-down on the racist accusation was why Trump proceeded to win the President.

Now, you're going to triple-down on it?

LOL. Some people never learn.
doesn't believe... No, doesn't care, he may or may not believe.
I'm still waiting for the day that there's a responsible entity that only ever publishes things when they're 100% certain and is willing to bet their freedom (going to prison) on it. But given how information and influencing of opinions is a market and means control of the population, I'm afraid this won't happen with official support, and only be seen as the crazy lunatics news agency that publishes stuff a week or month later after having vetted things.

I'd like to say leave speed reporting to the Twittersphere and mandate a clear label on unvetted news reports on any network, but I doubt politics can have such influence on the media. I would love it if the news reports had a watermark that says fresh-and-unvetted just like "preliminary results" or "consult your doctor before taking".

First we have to encourage and support critical thinking, but too much of it may lead to some influencers misusing it to support causes which deny past and current crimes of humanity on itself and the planet.
If you do a root cause analysis of this election's result, much of it points back to Silicon Valley in one way or another.

Workforce automation created millions of unemployed people in places far away from economic hubs, with no hope of employment in their hometowns or re-skilling for the new roles, leaving them desperate. Proliferation of mobile apps lead to an explosion in use of social media. The wild popularity of this democratic social media encouraged a culture that allowed misinformation to flourish without a lot of consequences.

Bad actors took advantage of this, and reinforced distorted false narratives. Desperate people latched onto the messages presented to them, that gave them solutions repeatedly reinforced by social media, and many took an enormous risk - they voted against their best interests in order to solve their problems with the information they had available. And that is how we got here today.
On this side of the pond, The Guardian is also so biased, that it is not worth reading anymore.

Ask HN: Does anyone (seriously) plan on leaving the U.S.A. due to Trump?
I'm in a very not good position, as I'm black, an immigrant, and a Software Engineer. If I were able to leave, then I'd be long gone, but I'm stuck here due to being a Targeted Individual (or maybe it's a mental illness) and unemployment.

In reflecting on things, I realized that my time in the USA hasn't been that great. I was cheated out of grades and opportunities while in school (middle school, high school, and even college) (though that could've been more related to being smart, rather than being black) and I noticed that school was mainly about the indoctrination of compliance, being on time, and writing documentation.

When I graduated and began working professionally, I thought things would change, but it essentially continued just as it did during school (all about time, compliance, being miserable, going nowhere, and not doing anything progressive, innovative, or worthwhile).

Even while at the almighty Google, I noticed a lack of time flexibility (right out of line with what they advertise) and many other things.

Strange, but I would've clearly been very relieved by being out of the country (even more than I would know), as the women in Canada (based on OkCupid), for example, seem better quality and more attractive (and less racist/prejudiced), and Canada is very receptive to tech workers.

It's even worse, as I noticed I'd be very unlikely to get any VC funding (if I were to be realistic), mainly due to my ethnicity and having gone to a no-name college. I wouldn't have been the type to seek funding, but it's weird that I wouldn't have been able to get any in either case (especially when I consider why).
Exactly. So let's change via amendment, not via a petition website. Line up 2/3 of congress to propose, and then 3/4 of the states to ratify.
Please read on RBAC. If you don't want to learn SELinux you can use AppArmor or grsecurity's RBAC system.
I think it's a bad idea to change the constitution just because an election didn't turn out the way some people wanted it to.
