When a Prez says "we" it almost always refers to the American people
Absolutely: technological changes in "information technology" bring about social changes as well.
I wanted you to look at actual case law - the minimal amount of a "melody" that barred others from reusing it. Then to compare the amount of information (or constraint) in that melody, with the case at hand.

If you need a hint, see arguments e.g. here - http://gizmodo.com/5962375/is-it-possible-to-run-out-of-new-...

and elsewhere. While you say that timing between notes and note pitch and duration are all open, in fact there are relatively few choices in actual modern practice.
1) Interesting that you mention doxxing in the context of Chuck Johnson, since when he was banned for his tweet about Deray, he had already posted home addresses of two NYTimes reporters. That both a) indicates that he was a bad actor, and b) colors how you might interpret comments about "taking out" someone. It doesn't turn it into a threat of violence, but it does make it look a lot more like using Twitter to organize harassment.

The other thing is that this is just a tough way to argue. There's massive amounts of harassment on twitter, and enforcement is incredibly haphazard. Did Spike Lee get a pass because he's a liberal? Or because in 2012, Twitter was completely clueless about any kind of response to harassment?

2) Hashtags: as it stands, everything you've said is your own personal observation and too vague for me to even try and confirm. Rather than repeat myself, let me just reference my other comment about doing the work to prove your accusations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12936414

3) I will however, repeat my question from before: is there any political opinion that I can utter as an American citizen that will get me banned from Twitter?
And here we go. That is exactly what happens once censorship is not any longer based on legal evidence but personal judgement. The 'my feelings are hurt more than yours competition' starts.

Edit: Actually watched some of the videos mentioned. Totally amazed how anyone can get offended by prank videos and doesn't know about actors involved.
>So it doesn't have to do the 'minimum' moves as they say, might waste time working it out.

Maybe they're counting moving the top and bottom at the same time as two separate moves? I don't know why it wouldn't just be considered moving the middle but that might be what they're talking about. They mentioned that it doesn't do it in the minimal amount of moves on the basis that it would take longer so I'm assuming that's it.

As far as the computational time needed to do so, it's absolutely trivial. This thing is built around a single microcontroller and it can handle 6 stepper motors, solving the cube, vision processing, and state tracking all by itself. The only thing impressive about this is how fast the cube is being manipulated but even that might not be too impressive considering the fact that they just attached stepper motors directly to the center piece of each face as opposed to using an unmodified Rubik's cube.
It's a common misconception that the Gamecube doesn't have fragment shaders. The GPU (called the TEV) is almost a straight implementation of DirectX's ps1.0, the same as a GeForce3, with a few extras added.

At my old company I wrote an assembler to read text source and assemble the instructions into TEV format.
i think more likely the US would impose it's will on CA and not allow it.
No, because there's a law specifically about live musical performances: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap11.html
Ok I see. Tangentially, I remember when I graduated I would have hated work at home as the social side was important, and getting to hang out with other techies is a bonus. Now work from home would be good for the family life
Excess correlations.
There was a very good link submitted to an NPR article that simply took Trump's published list of things he says he is going to do in the first 100 days, and annotated the items with a short look at what it would take to accomplish them.

It did not advocate for or against the various items. It just looked objectively at whether they could be accomplished. There was nothing partisan or inflammatory in the article.

It was [flagged] and [dead] within minutes.

If a simple, nonpartisan, neutral analysis like that cannot make it here, no way is anything even remotely near political activism going to fly.
Thanks, excellent review.
I'm using both Solr and Elastic right now (on different projects) - second on those items above.

One other plus for Solr is it has a flexible replication and consistency model, out of the box - much better fit for large clusters and multi data center deployments (or multi region high availability AWS deploys).

Elastic lacks in replication area (although something appears to be coming soon, via again their paid plugins).
Hiring an immigrant vs offshoring has many more benefits. Tax dollars to start with, but immigrants also spend that money on food, housing, etc
If we keep the same caps and introduce a minimum wage for H-1B visas, this would be a strict improvement.

I don't know why this would even be controversial, it's basic economics. All developed countries prefer higher paid workers cause those workers pay more tax (and probably have bigger contributions to total surplus). Having a cap and letting it fill up randomly with lower income employees like those from contracting companies, instead of high income employees at big tech companies, is just leaving money on the table.
I think the social taboo is self-reinforcing argument. Animals have the same rights as humans. Indeed, we are animals. Those who draw categorical lines to justify their morose experimentation ought to be judged in the same light as someone who would cage a human boy and deliberately sever his spinal cord in the name of a higher good. It's the same. I don't condemn the science, but I do condemn the hypocrisy.
you don't see it in common parlance

I think one of the factors for that is the fact that most high-level scientists learn to be cautious about the claims they make. You're much more likely so hear a layman make strong claims about X or Y than you are to hear the same from a PhD physicst, on average.

What a lot of people who didn't go through the grinder of Academia seem not to understand, is that when one says "I don't know", it doesn't mean "I know nothing about this". If I say "I don't know", chances are I could discuss the subject at length, but my comprehension is not satisfactory to answer the question on a deep level, or I don't really grok the subject enough to feel confident to give my opinion. This is less present in laymen and can lead to some friction in discussions.
I would say it's similar to not using the same password on multiple sites.

If you use the same email, once that one is compromised, than all accounts related to it could be in jeopardy.

By having a separate account just for financial purposes, which isn't used for regular emails with anyone, it just decreases the chances of it being leaked.
Ask HN: How to install kubernetes on CoreOS
Hi,

Ive been struggling to install kubernetes on a coreOS cluster. Ive read docs after docs, but haven't found a simple example. Most examples either use ubuntu or start off with using a package manager which coreOs doesn't come installed with.

Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I don't want to read too far into the comments already made, but: a YC company sexually harassing strangers on the street doesn't seem to impact people's desire to do business with YC.

But if you do much less, but to people YC has to do business with, that has real consequences.

If they were motorboating Marc Andreessen without consent, for instance, they wouldn't need news coverage and video to drop them.

EDIT: I don't mean this to be cynical so much as derived from fiduciary duty.
This search for a better way to rank comments still, in my opinion, makes a large incorrect assumption; namely that it is desirable (and possible) to display comments in order from "best" to "worst". If you think of comments only from the prespective a viewer then yes ordering comments from best to worst makes sense, the viewer wants to get as much information as quickly as possible. But if you are looking at establishing a robust meaningful dicussion, part of that is that all comments should have a chance of getting responded to that is proportional to their value, not their rank. Realistically the top three comments in a large thread are about equally good, but the top comment is going the vast majority of views and replies. One system the facilities dicussion might effectivelly shard it's users into separate threads of managble size so they can have a real dicussion, though I'm fuzzy on the details.

Given all the worry we have about about how our online discussions work I think their is real societal (if not extrable monetary) value in discovering a better solution.

This is like a version of Certificate Transparency for software. Attempts have already been made to port CT to software ("Binary Transparency"), and I like them better than this approach.

Specifically, you can demand a CT receipt from your downloads, proving that the existence of the download had been made public.

Without that, and in this scheme, it's still possible to simply target someone with tailored malware and assume they won't bother to check hashes against one of these databases.

With CT, the download client itself can automatically refuse a download that has not been publicly announced.
For us the authentication options might tip it.
Also the ecosystem point is important; we're using Spark/Avro/..
One other cool part of attention is that you can attend to m-dimensional parts of a n-by-m matrix just as well as a k-by-m matrix. Objects (sentences) of varying size can be treated the same in a really nicely principled way.
We're talking about how an organization chooses who to boycott. Legal evidence typically isn't the standard here, but I think it's reasonable to ask what that standard might be.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "Faith / World view" ?
No risk of Mexico invading I guess.
I forgot to say that it was a great a post overall, and I enjoyed reading it. Very interesting!
Maybe we should start jailing people for watching films with guns in them.

It's hard to acquire guns for abuse in the west maybe, but they can always go to the Middle East and get it there.
The cosmic tally of bad deeds is exactly what's irrelevant.
A lot of people on the site are tired of the political discussion on the site, especially given what such discussions have looked like recently, and that political discussions are not generally in line with the site guidelines. I suspect a lot of submissions are getting flagged as a result, sometimes regardless of the tone of the article.
That just isn't true, especially on x86. I can and have loaded my own keys and made secure boot validate against my keys to force it to only run what I wanted it to. The standard actually mandates this so it's pretty disingenuous to state that secure boot on a computer prevents the user from running whatever software they want to.

The user is always free to control secureboot except for on windows phones, you might have a point about it being a bad thing for mobile.
"anywhere in New Zealand you can be 2 days walk from civilisation"

good point.
Other libraries are system libraries and BSD licensed like protobuf.
There are over 2000 negative reviews on the Amazon page from people complaining that they were there at 5 and go nothing but errors (myself included).
This article is simply not true.
I'm a bit annoyed by the name "Blink Shell" because I think this is a Terminal Emulator and not a shell? But maybe I'm wrong?

But maybe I'm just being too restrictive in what I mean by the term "shell", which has multiple uses (e.g. "Desktop shell")..... so I guess the command-line shell is a program that one runs in a UI shell, the latter of which might be a terminal / terminal-emulator?
You might get more responses if you allowed people to comment from a policy page, rather than requiring reading and remembering a while pile of them before taking the survey. Also just asking agree or disagree on a whole topic area seems hard - what if I kind of like most if it, but hate one point? You won't kniw which point is the stickler.
This is coming :) https://github.com/blinksh/blink/issues/141
They work for a chinese anti virus company Qihoo 360. I wonder who got the prize money, the hackers or the company.
We are now unable to discuss certain topics because the many of the words of language necessary to communicate on the topics are considered offensive. Communicating properly via talking is hard in the sense of transferring the exact same thought on my mind into your mind without loosing the context in which that thought is valid. It takes many to and fro clarification from both parties that are trying to communicate. If you add getting offended to anything, then the process of communication looses almost all of the original signal. I came across Milo's videos a week or two before election. It was in some article that reports it as being rude and offensive, so I went and watched the video. People are getting offended just because he support Trump. The reporter trying to interview him was trying their best to get him to admit what he says is wrong but could not. He stood his ground. Milo is also a human, he could get somethings wrong like all people, but he is genuinely trying to correct the problem of oversensitivity.

I was tracking both candidate's campaign and I couldn't even remotely say the results of polls published by media was correct. They all said Hillary leads. All most all traditional media channels and news papers all said Hillary leads. I live in a different country and even the media here were having occasional articles saying Hillary is leading. Each time I say in my mind "No its not true". I cannot blame the media in my country as they get the information from media in USA. Only in quora did I see someone almost accurately predict what the outcome of election will look like.

The woman being interviewed in CNN describes many of the problems. But the CNN anchor is not interested in getting into any details on any topic. Its like the media has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and jumps from one topic to another within seconds and does a poor job being a news channel.

I think they know exactly what they're doing. Selling out in minutes causes news stories, and here we are.
I can definitely increase the number of F keys either on the on-screen keyboard and the F keys mapping.

Blink also supports Cursor keys and remap of those (by default Cmd + Arrow).

My plan is to have some kind of "special keys maps", like iTerm does, to emulate any other key through defined combinations. That I guess should cover the rest of the special keys you might need.
Yes, I am kind of wishing I had followed my gut feel too. I had tried AWS's NoSQL system, but had interminable trouble getting it to integrate with BotKit - Then while researching things I saw that Orchestrate had a plugin which integrated easily, and we managed to get it working in an afternoon and were delighted.

Now it means we have to pull out all that code and integrate another NoSQL system in there for data storage. I am glad that we held off from launching our bot to the public this month - we were waiting until the new year. So fortunately I don't risk losing any real customer data - only beta tester data. Inconvenient, but not insurmountable.

It has made me a lot more reticent to consider other small players in our stack though - might stick with AWS all the way from now on.
A Lost World of Shipwrecks Is Found
I used to like and recommend Prompt until I found out that they came out with a new version and offered no upgrade path -- it was a separate app on the store. They never bothered to update the old version with post-iPhone-4S graphics, so all the buttons are huge and it's low-res. I didn't buy the new version.
I have to agree, though-- I replay Ocarina all the time, but every time I try to replay Majora's Mask, I get frustrated and quit a few hours in.
This!

I was tracking their polling aggregator in "real time" daily and all it did was give me a false sense of security. Now we have Trump.
Nothing? The base that supported Trump has a short memory and short attention span, though that's true to some extent of the electorate more generally. If Republicans implement their agenda incrementally (as expected), the effect will be delayed and culpability forgotten or deflected.

What the country needs are agents with institutional memory, which has been lost through the fragmentation and creative destruction of traditional journalism and large interest groups. The revolution in journalism needs no explanation. Unions are no longer powerful enough to hold the Democrats feet to the fire long-term, and business interests are sufficiently diverse that there's no unified voice to keep the Republicans (or Democrats, for that matter) focused on long-term outcomes.

Instead, what we have are pundits, lobbying organizations, and think tanks. But they don't actually have any real economic incentive over the long-haul to be rational and correct; not like unions or industry. Their economic incentive is to take in more funding. The way to get more funding is to be edgy and even radical. It's a recipe for disaster.

On a related note, it's sort of like the problem in academia (science, liberal art, and law) where the incentive structure for professors requires copious publishing of increasingly thin, contrarian, or radical theories, rather than thorough, concrete, and empirically grounded investigations. And that's because a school, much like a think tank, derives increasing amounts of their income by drawing attention to themselves (from donors, from students), not through substantive contributions to the body of knowledge.
Can you explain? I have many educators in my life and I'd love to share it, but not if it's BS.
This article gets all its information on from this article from the Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/finland-schoo...

I suggest changing the link to point to the Independent article (and also changing the exaggerated title to the more informative Independent headline).
But it showed in other search engines' results during the time.
Yeah, it's pretty disingenuous reporting / [intentional] misunderstanding to sensationalize headlines. I'm sure many dozens of hours of work went into each of these, more likely hundreds. It only impresses people with no familiarity with this type of thing.
Time for a new keyboard and mouse. This combo: https://evoluent.com/products/vm4r/
http://www.typematrix.com/ in addition to smarter keystrokes in vim solved all of my issues. This keyboard is probably a better option: https://www.kinesis-ergo.com/
Why do we keep hearing so much about Ramanujan? Of the greatest mathematicians, is he even in the top 10? 20? 30?
They meant if you close it and, say, want to read or follow along with a book in iBooks and not use split view, you have to multitask back to Prompt every 3 minutes or iOS will suspend the app, killing your SSH connection in the process. Since Prompt is closed source and on the App Store, they can't use mosh which solves this problem.
ah, I misread your statement. I thought you meant where in Canada would you go.

G Suite Email is a paid service that doesn't sell your privacy, doesn't serve ads, and has extremely good service.
From what I've heard most land-use in the world goes towards animal agriculture - mainly for growing feed. Don't quote me, but I think it's over 40% of all land use in the USA. On balance I'd be far more concerned about the destruction of habitat for already endangered wildlife.
iOS only allows background connections to be maintained for three minutes. That means if you keep the app in the background longer than that, for example while checking Safari, the connection breaks. Every app has this limitation (TeamViewer, etc...) and it is usually solved by showing a notification to make the user switch to the app again. It is described on Prompt's KB too.

Blink also has this problem, but Mosh is able to recover gracefully.
I don't think the plasma being too hot is a problem in a tokamak. The average ion energy is not enough for fusion; we rely on the high-energy tail end of the Maxwellian distribution. Any potential source of heat loss from the ions is a liability, including the natural predilection for ions to transfer their energy to electrons, not to mention radiative losses. Keeping the plasma hot enough is really the essential problem.
As you rightly point out, my reply was not meant as more than a factual rebuttal - which of course is valuable in and of itself if you want to make a coherent and sound argument.

You also conveniently cut out the point that the state will collect membership taxes for the Church of Sweden, just as happily as it will for the local catholic branch or one of two registered islamic congregations.

I'm not sure what the rest of your post has to do with mine.
By all means, I heartily recommend it. I grew up with an adoptive brother from the age of 8. I honestly think I'd be a less complete and more spoiled/selfish person if I grew up as a single child. He now has a wife and child and the rest of us have a new, extended family. Even though I have a degree in Economics, It's not hyperbolic to say that things like these are truly the priceless things that make life worth living.
Yeah, it makes no sense to me for Google to throw away their Nexus brand and all the good will they built up behind it. If the Pixel (phone) was really made by Google, it might make a bit of sense to keep the Pixel branding in the sense that it's manufactured by Google vs Nexus where it's not. But the pixel phone is made by HTC, just like the Nexus phones. To add to the confusion, they already had the Chromebook Pixel (small laptop), the Pixel C (tablet), and now the Google Pixel (phone). I half expect their next device to be the Pixel Potato, given their numbering sequence.
They just pop over to the search fixer dashboard and drag protonmail into the penalty box. Two clicks, boom, boom.
Simplicity: Software Engineering Wisdom
It's true you need a few extensions to make gnome shell usable, of which "dash to dock" is the most essential: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/

With these, I enjoy gnome very much. It's simple, vsynced, works well and looks very nice.
HSAs do very little to benefit the rich. Do you have an HSA? I do. The max contribution per year is less than a 401k. The rich care very little about sub 4 figure annual investments. Trumps policy says nothing of reforming contribution limits

There is no 44% federal tax bracket. The max is ~40%. Either way, I seriously doubt someone making $400k+ per year gives a crap about a sub $4,000 tax deduction. That's not even 1% of their annual income..

What's your definition of middle class? Mine is the kind of people that would benefit from things like 529 plans, 401ks and HSAs. Basically all of my co-workers.
