Please drop the partisan angle on this. This isn't a left/right difference. Obama campaigned with a similar promise and he still selected lobbyists for his administration:

Kudos for making it open source.

I wonder if the sales will increase if you make source code unavailable. The reason is that, as you said, it is very easy for people to just run unpacked extensions in dev mode.
Could you elaborate on what "AI-complete" means? I have not heard this term before. I am assuming it similar to NP-Complete but in the domain of AI?

If this correct I assume that there are also problem that are classified as AI-hard?
> and yet, 99% of you are frothing at the mouth over a man who said bad words 18 years ago.

There are multiple reports and videos of crowds at his rallies chanting "Kill the bitch, "Hang the bitch", and "Lock her up". Trump knew this and condoned the behaviour. He has actively singled out members of the "corrupt media".

I can respect political differences but this is not normal behaviour for a healthy democracy. It's playing with fire - a fire that may burn out quickly, a fire that may smoulder in the background, or a fire that could burn the whole place down. I'm NOT saying Trump is going to start locking people up (I think he is a populist who said what people wanted to hear) but let's not pretend that the concerns people have are only because of his crude comments about women and minorities.

As I said, it's not about the normal left vs right ideology - Obama and Bush both supported policies that greatly concern me (mass surveillance, drone strikes against US citizens without trial etc). But neither Bush or Obama used this type of rhetoric about their political opponents.
That has to be the most ridiculous line of reasoning I have seen.
Just as an historical counterexample: Leonardo DaVinci was gay but tried to keep that fact away from the Church (very influential at the time), doing otherwise would have prevented him to access many books, and therefore would have stumped his contributions to humanity. And there is a chance some people at the time may have assumed it was all to retain money and power (which he had), but that's irrelevant in perspective.
If this is the last election it guarantees Thiel not just 4 years of crony paydays but a lifetime. Trump doesn't have to make good on promises when there will never be another election. He can simply gave any one killed who complains about the inequality they nearly have fully autonomous killing drones and Trump will be legally empowered to have anyone he wants out to death at any time without trial.
Given the frequency with which the same mistakes keep on being made (SQL injection, IoT DDOS...) I don't think we did learn much, and the big headlines are still on the cards. Nice short story, though.
In Rust, I think it's more idiomatic to just implement the `Display` trait on you error type so that you can generate the string when you need it instead of at the time the error occurs
Is this sarcasm or are you just not aware that you are parroting Thiel's beliefs?
As a fellow gay man I can tell you Thiel clearly appears to be quite conflicted about his homosexuality, which is why he victimized Gawker so gratuitously for revealing it to the public. Unfortunately, because becoming a billionaire is often random, sometimes people with mental illness and deep emotional pain can rise to incredible power.
What Happens to President Obama’s Twitter Account When Donald Trump Takes Office
He's a climate change denier, it would appear.
Did you scrutinize Obama's picks just as heavily?

Please don't make generalizations about large groups of people. It leads to irreconcilable feuds.
Wait, aren't these the ones dems derided as uneducated non-college degreed voters? So, now that the election is over, we call them middle class? It's little wonder they felt disenfranchised and ridiculed and voted for the victor, including a number of democrats [1]

[1]http://iowapublicradio.org/post/app-saw-trump-winning-swing-...
I never said people on the left don't do it. Yes, Obama did it too. The point is Trump isn't what he appears to be, in fact he appears very similar to Obama in the sense that he convinced many people there would be change for the better but all evidence points to that he will just perpetuate the system which he rallied against (which Obama did too).
We love and use Sidekiq at our org. We even released a gem for it that enables concurrency throttling : https://github.com/sensortower/sidekiq-throttled

There is a bit of a feeling that the community version is somewhat 'nerfed', but it's really Mike's freedom to release the pro/enterprise version.

Though stuff like this: https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/blob/master/lib/sidekiq/l... scares me~ :)
Moral obligations cannot be constituted they can only be felt as a function of interaction between others.
>> Would it not be more appropriate, in this century, to realize that since indentation (and spacing in general) is essentially something that only pertains to the graphical representation of program's code...

False assumption.

Suppose a language exists which:
1.) truncates all characters beyond the 80th prior to interpretation;
2.) will throw an exception during run-time if tab characters are used for indentation;
3.) strictly defines, in BNF, valid cases for the first 7 column-wise characters, of which 7 spaces is distinctly meaningful.

Although it may be "this century", I think I speak for more than a few who continue to maintain the corrected mistakes of our predecessors out of economic necessity...and I'm not talking about reaping a paycheck either.
What do you imagine "shrewd" means?
I really enjoy the dynamic of large forums, where varying ideas can pitch in, and I appreciate that much more in comparison to family members who are steeped in facebook.

Global forums can end up with a fairly civil discourse, because everybody knows and acknowledges that there are differences in opinion. If you want your thoughts to be respected, you need to make them level headed, even if it is an emotional argument. The broader the forum, the better it tends to be. Of course, it also depends on good moderation, but even the self-moderation of HN and /. tend to end up being level headed and fairly moderate.

But there are no alternative opinions or moderators in facebook. People subscribe to small echo chamber radicals, which laser focus on some hyper exaggerated version of their outlook and there's no counterpoints in sight. Disagreements with what other people post ends up in unfriending, because it's too personally dissonant.

This whole blurting out of one's impassioned political, religious, and social ideologies is simply not appropriate public discussion!

You don't go out to social gatherings and start yelling stuff like this. Yet, on facebook, people share such content on their walls for all their acquaintances to see, which ends up being incendiary. These are subjects reserved for those you have enough rapport with to warrant deep controversial dives, not your personally public web presence. The very nature of the mechanics of social media tends to stoke and reward this behavior.
Wouldnt this problem sort itself out, if an area suffers a downturn because of vacant property, property loses value and then investors would pull out.

I remain very unconvinced on how this is a good thing, but i can see how easy it is to sell to capture more tax.
Wow, that's some faulty logic he's expressing there.

As an aside, what's wrong with his cheek? Did he have an accident or some bad plastic surgery?
His ideal form of government is minimal enough that voting is superfluous.

What about the vote to set it up in the first place?
Don't want to sound like an extremist, but I do support #Calexit. The economic impact of California is tremendous not only for US but for the whole world, therefore, it's a great bargaining power against Trump.
-Donald Trump has appointed a "climate skeptic," which means, "dangersous liar," to head the Environmental Protection Agency. He has already sent out many other signals that he intends to cease any US efforts to combat Global Warming, which will have the effect of destabilizing the various international agreements that might have ameliorated its effects. It currently seems likely that Trump will single-handedly prevent the world from achieving a viable response to this threat for another four years.

The president does not appoint cabinet level officials, the president nominates them and they are approved by Congress.

And there hasn't been a formal nomination, just a floating of the name.

Anyway, the point is that everyone who votes to approve the various cabinet officials should be held responsible for the things that follow, not just the president.

So why say "women" instead of "socialists"? You can choose to be a socialist or not, but a women?

But it's great you have realized the principal mistake here.
Just because he's gay doesn't mean he supports marriage equality. Given Thiel's political views I would guess that he thinks that the government shouldn't care about _anyone's_ marriage, gay or straight. So rather than fight for marriage equality for gay couples he'd fight for marriage deregulation for everyone, including straight couples (e.g. no special tax treatment, no special legal protections for spouses).
It is incredibly likely that GrubHub's employees knowingly, freely, and without coercion or duress, entered into contracts specifying their employment was "at-will" and that they could be dismissed at any time and for any reason.

Is it your contention that those contracts should not be enforced?
Those aren't ThinkPads.

The ThinkPads are an semi-independent division within Lenovo.
Letting people get away with harmful practices is a bad idea. Extending that from theft to politics is a very reasonable thing to do.

People prentend that politics is a purely abstract thing, but consider. Bush is directly responsible for well over 500,000 deaths. The blood of his victims is directly on the hands of everyone that voted for the idiot. Trump might not be as bad or he might start WWIII.
Seriously? 100,000 requests are far from enough for us. However, I am still thinking about the $20 option.
You're right, I mispoke. He was appointed to head the EPA Transition, which is different. Edited now.

And I agree, it's not just Trump. It is his administration and his party. All the more reason why YC must repudiate Thiel.
Looks like you're right according to the Wikipedia total. Last I looked it was expected she'd end up with a 1-2% lead once all the West Coast votes were counted. e.g. The NYT is still showing an estimated 1.2% lead for Clinton in the popular vote. http://www.nytimes.com/elections/forecast/president
A "thing".
This is true if the 40 hours that you spend is on deep work. You are pushing your intellectual limit all the time. Practically this isn't the case right ? Most of our work, whether we like it or not, falls into the realm of JSON parsing. 50-60 hours of such work is still fine in my opinion.
When the U.S. went to Iraq, I had a political opinion. HRC had a choice.
I don't think the "bias" of mainstream media sources is solvable, it's not that problem we need to solve.

The problem we need to solve is the sharing of hysterical, blatantly false information, presented as facts, from specific, intentionally propagandistic sites. And I wouldn't hide or disallow it, I would flag it with a warning message.
Hmm, you might be thinking of the second one, the RTS? The first had Earth struck by an asteroid that split in two when trying to defend. The entire game was on a far planet you travelled to, turn based strategy I believe.

I don't even see what your post is trying to say. The only charitable explanation I can come up with is you're trying to reinforce my point that those in the majority feel like they can be assholes without repercussions.

Take a long, hard look at both my post and yours and ask yourself what point you're attempting to make (and if you somehow don't come up empty, please share it with the rest of the class - I'd love to know at least).
It could be to care for a sick, disabled, or mentally ill relative. Or because the resident gets sick and needs to move in with a relative.

It could be some sort of seasonal work transfer, or an unexpected work transfer that you are forced into until finding a new position back home. Or maybe you are taking a sabbatical. Or a stint in the peace corps (I think that's usually 18 months).
I recently started checking out Rust and was quickly disappointed that it's near impossible to chain anything unless their signatures match perfectly. Subsequently, I found the `mdo` crate[0] to be rather useful, although I'm not sure how idiomatic it is. It's essentially a macro that implements Haskell's do-notation. Here's a snippet from the README:

let l = mdo! {
z =<< 1i32..11;
x =<< 1..z;
y =<< x..z;
when x * x + y * y == z * z;
ret ret((x, y, z))
}.collect::<Vec<_>>();

It's worth remembering that a Mac virtually never supports an OS released before it. They usually ship with a special build of the current version, and later point releases of macOS support the hardware directly. I wouldn't call that a scarce resource problem, but a convenient way of not having to create backwards compatible hardware. Just build hardware sensibly within your corporate world view, perhaps tweak it a bit for the latest version of Windows, and that's all you need.
> Because half the people of the United States are hypocrites with no strong moral compass.

Listen to Donald Trump's acceptance speech: https://youtu.be/-smetnW-k28?t=275

I prefer to believe that half of the people of the United States want to come together to build a better nation.

Edit: Hello downvoters. At almost the very top of his speech Trump specifically said he was reaching out to people who didn't support him, for guidance and help in unifying and improving the country.

Trump's prepared to work with you on unity, are you prepared to work with him? For better or worse dismissing him will not get your views heard, neither will calling him and his supporters names.

Sanders issued a statement saying “To the degree that Mr. Trump is serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families in this country, I and other progressives are prepared to work with him. To the degree that he pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-environment policies, we will vigorously oppose him.”

Obama and Hillary said, let's give him a chance and wait and see.

That does not seem unreasonable.

I'm sure there are at least a handful of Trump policies that you can support and agree with (see for example his ethics in government reform policy).
Wasn't Trump rallying against such crony corruption aka 'pay for play'?

He straight bragged about participating in such schemes from the other side.
> Manager threatened me, saying I would never work for IBM again in my life.

I would have doubled over laughing.
Super cool and fascinating project!
Here's a hint: this is exactly how many people feel about Thiel, Trump, and what's expected from the Trump administration.
Yes,

When Trump suspends the constitution and starts a continental war with Mexico and Canada. And sends Six million Jews including his own daughter to be exterminated in gas chambers then we can compare him to Hitler.

Until such events unfold (I'm not holding my breath) entertaining people who make these ridiculous arguments is like a slow, self inflicted lobotomy.
Track Donald J Trump's Electoral Promises with Trump Tracker
Of course they were: Bernie wasn't a Democrat until he ran for the nomination, why would they want to help an outsider become head of the party (aka the nominee?)
I think there was a miscommunication in the interview. He meant load/parse/compile time. See http://www.atdot.net/~ko1/activities/2016_railsconf_pub.pdf
Who is jailing whom for different views?

With the exception of Hillary-planted agents provacateur, as verified by DKIM-validated Podesta emails, who is beating up whom?
> Then why am I dealing with "President-elect" Donald Trump?

Because the candidate who LOST the popular vote won the electoral college, so his fewer votes were better allocated, as it turned out. He won fair and square, but it's beyond idiotic to pretend that nominating Hillary was somehow a gift of the presidency to Trump. According to insiders, even Trump thought he was losing going into election night.
Is social media really more of an echo chamber than traditional newspapers/TV stations?

* Most of the liberal stuff in my FB/Twitter feeds are from NYT or Washington Post

* Back in the day, consumers of traditional media probably zoned out of TV bits/skimmed over newspaper articles that they didn't agree with

The whole "echo chamber" thing seems like a meme to me. "In the olden days, we used to go to ye olde coffee store and have intellectual conversations with randos with different political beliefs."
What an idiot!
The value of american manufacturing has never been higher. http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NV.IND.MANF.CD

It just takes less employees to make the same value of goods. That is painful for people, but the solution isn't starting a cycle of countries raising tariffs. We want our goods to SELL.

You think tariffs and trade duties imposed on other products like jet engines, and servers and other high value manufactured goods isn't a problem?

Don't forget that trade barriers can affect the service sector too. Trade wars aren't good for anyone.

Trade wars start real wars.
Would seem to me Texas would be ready to go. Trump or no Trump.
Legitimate question: what could Obama have done better? Being Canadian I didn't take as close an interest as I would have in my own government, but it seemed from my perspective like he was doing everything he could to bring about change. The problem appeared to be that he had a very different idea of what that change should be than the Republican Congress, and short of utterly capitulating, I'm not sure how you unilaterally engender cooperation in that situation. I'm sure that I'm both biased and largely uninformed though, so I'm interested in the counter-argument.
I get 14 fps on their top example. New macbook pro. And this is supposed to be ready?
I agree with you. I would keep it simple and as transparent as possible.

"I manufacture T-shirts. Hand made T-shirts which are not spectacular, but kind of unique. I have been selling them for a long time, but in the past few years, people from other places are buying all my T-shirts, more than the ones I can make. I increased prices because of it, but I still sell all the T-shirts I have. Maybe i can make more T-shirts, but right now this is the amount I can make. Maybe, i should tell Bob to go check if my customers are using the T-shirt, and if they are not using it, well, they must pay Bob or Bob will take the T-shirt away. "
If you're really in the power game, it's assumed that you accumulate enough blackmail to destroy anyone who wants to harm you. And among other powermongers, that means the situation only appears stable because of mutually assured destruction.

So, in essence, no social policy or law is going to be of particular importance to Thiel; it's all positional in his worldview - all the rules are made to be broken.
Okay, let's stipulate that anyone with an opinion that differs from yours has no moral compass. What next? Do we disenfranchise them? Kill them? Sterilize them and their children and wait it out?

Your attitude is disgusting on a number of levels, but my favorite one is how it leads to nothing useful at all.
If we believe all the recently headlines about who he's bringing in it appears pure "pay to play". Lots of individuals who Trump "owes" through either money or support they provided to him; pure cronyism.

I'm not sure Trump realizes what worked best in business, or what he felt worked best for him in what business he has done, is not necessarily best for operating policy. I'm not sure he cares. I suspect he might though. Dude looked humble-struck in the video today with Obama; almost worried about what he got himself into.
I think most people would equate "tolerance" with "non-antagonizing" in the general case. It's hard to claim that actively antagonizing & stigmatizing somebody for their beliefs (not just reasonably arguing against the beliefs themselves) counts as tolerant of others' beliefs.

It exactly means that no matter how subjectively and personally odious somebody's beliefs are to you, you can still respect their personhood, and evaluate any associated business & products at face value.

"Tolerance" does not mean enforcement for or against selected beliefs. Waging a stigmatizing crusade against a belief is enforcement.

The moment you think you can deem and enforce absolute right & wrong upon others, you open yourself up to it happening to you without defense. That is not the path of liberty.
He's back to the REAL TRUMP after the acceptance speech and this is the real him. Protest is an democratic action and I don't see anything that is unfair though.
Palantir, one of Thiel's companies, will now be able to embed itself even deeper in the surveillance state. It's what Trump needs to "get even" with people who make fun of him or oppose him.
> I generally regard him as intelligent and thoughtful

Based on a YouTube video mentioned in another comment thread (https://youtu.be/CoxxGhLFbw4?t=2m30s), I wouldn't regard him as intelligent by any means.
You "own" what you own because the government protects it from the hoards of barbarians constantly trying to take it from you. In exchange for this protection, you pay taxes. Yes, it's a classic protection racket. If you don't like it, there are various places in the world where you're welcome to grab a gun, stake your claim, and pay nobody any taxes at all. You can enforce your own "property rights." But this has been done before, and inevitably people got tired of fending off the barbarians all day and decided they'd rather do other stuff, like read books or fix cars or whatever it is they like doing MORE than worrying about getting killed every day, so they form governments and pay their god damn taxes.

Also, a 1% "I'm rich enough to buy property in a really expensive place and not live there" tax is fairly minuscule.
As much as Tuesday night felt like the end of days, this seems a bit extreme. I won't say utterly impossible, as I already can't believe what's happened, but still very, very unlikely.
All of the landlords must pay the tax. This means a constant displacement of the supply curve from the untaxed state. The demand curve is unchanged. The new equilibrium depends on elasticity, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't end up with most of the cost passed on to the renter.
