Microsoft absolutely IS facilitating a fair choice, what they're doing is making it so that consumers are left "in a lurch" where they have to re-up their licenses or end up with a totally unprotected computer. Please read on, I will explain.

My experience just last month: you cannot run 2 anti-virus systems at once, they all aggressively lock out their competitors. McAfee causes Kaspersky to crash, and in the opposite case a lot of scary looking warnings go up. Imagine if insurance was done this way, or home security, or even physical security.

Most fields of personal security allow for overlapping coverage. Anti-virus products explicitly try and avoid this and then use that to their advantage to force you to re-up, paying for coverage. Defender is the default option that steps in so that consumers CAN take the time to make a rational and educated choice.

Because most consumers with anti-virus software didn't choose it! Anti-virus vendors compete much more at the level of securing hardware vendor contracts (or eking out an existence in counterpoint to them).

This is REALLY important and is a case where Microsoft is actually being very progressive and pro-consumer. Anti-virus software, of pivotal importance for windows users, is now on even footing with games and word processors. They must compete for consumer attention and affection and demonstrate value and cultivate consumer loyalty. Even if Kaspersky is one of the better actors in this space, it's a space fundamentally toxic to consumers.

Sorry, but this notion that Trump supporters are being unfairly criticized is a complete straw man. Vigorous criticism is what we should all expect for someone who fans the flames of mistrust and xenophobia in order to accomplish their goals. There are certain lines you just don't cross. You don't imply that 20-25% of the world population (Muslims) is unfit to enter the country. You don't peddle conspiracy theories. You don't mock disabled people. You don't brag that you can do whatever you want to women just because you're famous. You don't do even one of these things, but he did all of them and more. Trump supporters need to own up to all of this instead of whining about being called out for it.

You also shouldn't expect us to take you at all seriously if you comment with a throwaway account named after the Mason-Dixon line which, at one point in history, separated territories where slavery was either legal or not legal. Don't evoke civil war symbolism and slavery and simultaneously expect to have a calm, reasoned debate.

Why just them though? We don't treat humans that well a lot of the time, and if AI looked to us for an example, things are going to be rough.
let's put trump aside. There are nuances in the way we talk which have been lost. People from both sides use extreme language willy-nilly like racist, sexist, fascist. These words are serious accusations not mild epithets. This creates a culture where middle ground does not exist, you are either with us or you're the enemy, which is madness. E.g. I don't like smokers, but i don't hate them.
I thought this was going to be a link to [1], from a talk given at Swift Summit a couple days ago. I haven't really looked at the code for either one to compare them, but for people who are interested, here's a second simple genetic algorithm in Swift (found in RubikSwift/GeneticsSolver.swift)

Ask HN: Thanks HN
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate and value the HN community. I was reflecting this morning on the things that I'm thankful for and as odd as it seems, HN really is one of them. I genuinely feel that with you, I know a lot more about what is going on, in science and technology, but also in the world generally. I believe for the most part, HN is full of really decent humans, and I have learned an incredible amount from what is posted here both as external content, but also in the comments. In an incredibly volatile and evolving times I find a stability in this social network. I am a better person due to many of you. So, thank you Hackernews community.
Just curious what you would think if they cloned a monkey and then did the operation to the cloned monkey? Would you still feel sad for the monkey if you knew that the only reason it existed was for this one purpose?
I don't see value in half-assing it, which still costs you resources, but also annoys those users (including me!) when you get it wrong or disable features because you haven't translated them yet. And there are enough cultures/languages that doing it properly isn't a viable strategy.
That's the "Massive ViewController" anti-pattern (or just massive controller, if you're not in Apple land).

Classic MVC is really MVc, with controllers only handling a small set of interactions that are not directly between the Model and View, for example dialog boxes and such.

One problem with a "Big-C" approach to MVC is that whereas models and views are at least potentially reusable, the controllers are dependent on both M and V, and thus both proliferate and are not reusable.

I have been playing with docker for the past week, and its really hard to get started. I am only going to use it for integration test for now.
I wonder how one would establish a calculus of intent in such a situation?

It would have to be established that the accused was fully intent on the end goal and was of the belief that the steps taken would facilitate achieving that end goal. It seems intuitive that each successive deliberate step would compound, and even double the certainty of guilt. More steps, more certainty.

In this context, the first three steps would already have been taken. Firstly to acquire the Tor browser in order to hide one's identity, secondly, to learn how to search the darknet, thirdly, to have searched out and visited such sites. At this stage, the FBI apparently short circuited the process by providing the actual material, the viewing of which is a crime in itself.

Further steps could consist of following clearly labeled links, clicking on thumbnail images whose import was clear, even if they were blurred. This would show knowledge, and to a lesser degree, intent. Intent could be established by sending the perpetrator on a fool's errand of repeatedly following links and thumbnails without ever achieving their goal.
A Sane Guide to the Election and Aftermath
1) Seems like a fair question, but 2) just seems like a completely unfair analogy. Perhaps it's own lack of imagination, but I can't see how someone viewing an image is equivalent to someone having sex with a child prostitute. Is this really the argument? To answer your question, no, I don't think anyone would accept that.

I have no love for those who visit child porn on Tor, but in general I am now very wary of the FBI. I can't help but feel it's a powerful organization that's slowly turning into a dark oppressive one. The power grab from the CIA for the Petraeus affair. Using the sensitive nerve of terrorism to demand Apple unlock a phone. Throwing a last-minute wrench in the Clinton campaign. This is not going to end, especially under Trump.

Thanks for the compliments, that is very encouraging! And for the constructive questions.

You point out something very important - the json dump definitely is not scalable! That is why we warn people it should only be used for local development and testing, and never to run it in production (these warnings are littered through out the documentation). Your instinct is correct!

By default only a subset of the data is sent to clients - specifically, only the pieces of data that they are subscribed to. This is already built in so you don't have to worry about managing it yourself.

Using the Level storage adapter, you could plug into a SQL database. I don't recommend doing this (because you'll get consistency issues if you query SQL separately from gun) but it is possible - the one exception is using SQLite as a storage layer.

There is actually somebody building a P2P Trello app, I referenced his security/authorization gun framework in one of the other comments, if you are interested.

Hit me up with anything whenever. Thanks for being so constructive!

For those wondering why the heck you would make a web based text editor: browsers are actually very good at displaying text, and javascript is good at handling text.
No, but you should be tolerant of others who don't share your beliefs. Calling for Peter Thiel to be thrown out of YC or telling your employees to resign if they support Trump is being intolerant.
Your replies give the impression you are a subject matter expert which I find strange based on the topic. I also find strange you are making claims about the CP consuming audience with nothing to support it.
Yeah. Swift is unique in that it features both incredibly slow compile times (in the good case, in bad cases it can abort due to timeouts on one line, 40 character expressions) AND slow runtime speed, especially when not optimising.

Code without the optimiser can easily be several hundred to more than a thousand times slower than optimised code. And of course the optimiser makes compile times even slower.

It's really quite a spectacle.

I wonder if this is slowly changing as values change. In NZ there is a growing movement to eradicate pests to help protect native species. Cats fall on the wrong side of this goal. There have been public calls by high profile individuals to eradicate cats. Maybe someday birds will be seen to greater value than cats down here.

Brain death usually only occurs after severe injury, either from trauma or from asphyxiation. Large portions of the brain ARE dead tissue; search for Terri Schiavo's MRI (or CT). Most of the skull is filled with fluid.

On the other hand, rarely comatose or persistent vegetative patients do wake up, or, more frighteningly, were awake and aware for years. I did some of my PhD research with a person who had a brain-stem stroke in 1980, who lived in a care center, and they didn't realize he was still awake and trying to communicate until 1992.

OK, I suppose if I'm dismissing it because it's rare, it's due to our disparate histories, I'm much older, the first election I watched closely having come of political age intellectually was Nixon v. McGovern in 1972, and first voted in 1980 (Reagan v. Carter). So I personally have experienced it as much rarer an issue, and of course one in my favor (maybe, was W in office in 2001-4 a good thing? If the numbers hold true, will Trump be? ^_^).

But my bigger point are things that I think you must address, if you're to address my concerns, like how it will make half of the the Great Compromise non-operative, and change the election to a focus on 8-10 metro areas, none of which I or my family live in, even those in the Kansas City metro area (30th).

You feel disenfranchised in 2 out of your 5 presidential elections; do you think I want my family and myself to be disenfranchised in them forever?

Not a doctor, but, I imagine scarring occurs if there is damage. If half your brain has been replaced by scar tissue, it might not be 'dead' in the sense that all of its cells are dead, but no amount of shocking will make it work.
It's mostly single family homes that investors are after in Vancouver and that have appreciated the most in value. Vancouver is landlocked between mountains, sea, and river. You can't build many more single family homes in Vancouver. I imagine with most other cities building more would be either more sprawl or more density both of which can create problems.

Canada isn't densely populated so why should the Vancouver people need to squeeze into apartments while houses are sitting empty? So you're right. The middle class doesn't want it.

It's true that not everyone can have the "American Dream" house/garage/car any more but at the same time having a bunch of expensive houses sit empty is worse than them having someone live in them.

I think part of the solution might be building new cities, something that doesn't seem to be happening.
Boston does not have enough affordable housing. There is a ton of building in the city, but most of is it high end housing and very expensive towers/hotels. Good luck finding a freestanding house for under $800K.

When the market prices are high, and land is expensive, and you have the slow zoning/permitting process of Boston, developers are going to only build luxury housing, until the city changes the permitting/zoning process and requires them to build more affordable housing units.

IN the '60s/70, oil companies were mainly just companies that happened to do things oil-related. After the '84 crash, the character of those companies changed dramatically.

I don't know if that's inherent to that market or just a temporary phenomenon. If it is inherent, then that makes for a barrier to entry.
Okay, let's stipulate that the notion of "white privilege" is real. The shattered people who voted for Trump, who spend their lives being called "white trash" by "coastal elites," are clamoring for a share of that privilege. How do you address them?

I agree that he probably isn't much of a believer in the cause himself. But more Republicans than not support it, and plenty of Democrats are at least publicly beholden to Christians as well.

While not unthinkable, getting Christianity into the Constitution as the official religion is likely not going to happen. But that doesn't mean that plenty of things won't end up on Trump's desk which make Christianity effectively the official religion (if you already think that's the case, you ain't seen nothing yet). We have to trust Trump to be able to stand up to those who put him in power and veto this stuff? While he may surprise me, as they say, I trust him about as far as I could throw him.
Show HN: Introductory Akka.NET and Actor Model Code Samples with a Star Wars Theme
A trolley is out of control, barreling toward 6 unaware adult strangers, including 2 parents with children at home. The only person who recognizes the impeding tragedy is you. Fortunately, the lever for a switch is within reach.

Scenario #1: If you pull the lever, you'll divert the trolley toward a 6-month-old infant in a carriage, killing it instantly. Do you hesitate such that you risk missing the opportunity to save the 6 people?

Scenario #2: If you pull the lever, you'll divert the trolley to a 9-week-old, 1-inch long fetus in a petri dish (being transported and kept viable outside the womb due to new science). Do you hesitate such that you risk missing the opportunity to save the 6 people?

If you answered yes to #2, you're either delusional or a morally troubled person. The modern anti-abortion movement requires adopting a disgusting equivocation. Sane, honest people can value fetal life without equivocating it to an actual child.

Granted, the trolley problem has many flaws. There are many ways to legitimately weasel out of answering the question, but I think it fairly exhibits the senseless equivocation people make in the debate.
