>The timing is suspicious though

Well, there are elections every year [1] in India in some or the other key states. Not denying what you are saying but any timing would raise political eyebrows. IMO average citizens have no problem with politicians drumbeating things that has positive impact.

It's a funny thing. I don't mind a long commute, of say, 1 hour each way mostly highway. I can use that time to listen to podcasts, audiobooks, or music. Things I rarely find time to in my daily life. But if I have 1 hour commute in heavy traffic, I feel that I'm wasting my time. The former I'm okay with, the latter I avoid at all cost, even if the net result is the same for me.
The Nazis certainly didn't do anything for the Jewish supermanagers, besides robbing and killing them, and then unsustainably mass-murdering or enslaving their countrymen.

The electoral college discourages participation. People in California, Illinois and New York aren't saying they don't vote "because neoliberalism."

Equating the murder of Jews in Nazi Germany to Black and Hispanic mass incarceration offends the victims of both injustices. The article's equivocating tone about this equating is offensive too. It's like they know they're saying something incredibly flimsy just to push the drama.

List of polyurethane for the money
(from May 2016)
There is always a major election coming up in India. By the time we're done with Gujarat (2018), there will be Rajasthan and a few others coming up. Not to mention the next Lok Sabha (Parliament) elections in 2019.

Yes, the timing does mean that major political parties in UP would be hurt because their insane amount of hoarded cash is in trouble but really, is that a bad thing?

As pointed out in comments above, this step does make sense given what the govt. has been trying to do to fight black money in the past 2 years.

In fact Modi keeps mentioning that this is not the last of the steps and there will be more measures coming into affect soon. Keeping the hoarders scared was really needed here.

If you're on the ground in India, you can tell people are thinking twice before selling their properties for cash (it's very common for people to sell for 70/30 or so ratio for white and black money) / other hoarding activities.

This seems to be a personal opinion article. Much has been written about the Nazi rise to power. The first four years of Hitler's rule, starting in 1933, were good for Germany. He got Germany out of the postwar depression. If he'd left office after four years, he'd be remembered as the Savior of Germany. After four years, things started to go bad; two more years and WWII was under way.

The Nazi party was closely allied with big companies. That was by design, and there was no secret about it. That's what "national socialism" was all about - industry and government working together. It worked more like crony capitalism in practice, and less well over time.

One of the big problems in a dictatorship is how the second tier of control works. The leader can't decide everything. There has to be delegation. But how? Regional delegation results in regional leaders powerful enough to challenge the national leader. Delegation by subject area (ministries) sometimes works, but the military and security apparatus usually becomes the center of power. Delegating power to businesses is a bit safer, especially if you don't let them become monopolies in their sector. The Nazi Party used all three forms of delegation, which the author describes as a mess. It's not an unreasonable way to run things, though.

This is an interesting study on the subject. (kind of messed up, like the stanford prison experiment on schoolchildren). A teacher designates kids with blue eyes as superior to those with brown eyes in their all caucasian class. Resulting in:

> Those who were deemed "superior" became arrogant, bossy, and otherwise unpleasant to their "inferior" classmates. Their grades on simple tests were better, and they completed mathematical and reading tasks that had seemed outside their ability before. The "inferior" classmates also transformed – into timid and subservient children who scored more poorly on tests, and even during recess isolated themselves, including those who had previously been dominant in the class. These children's academic performance suffered, even with tasks that had been simple before

I purchased a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet from a surplus auction that included electro-optical equipment (big lasers and such.) The garnet is a nice pink color with a high refractive index. It's slightly bigger than 1 cubic centimeter and being lab grown it has zero defects other than the neodymium atoms which turn it pink.

I plan on having it cut and set into a ring. However one obstacle is that yttrium is considered toxic to humans as a dust. Proper safety, ventilation and cleanup must be observed which makes it difficult to find jewellers that are willing to accommodate this.

So Microsoft is treating the Mac more seriously as a professional platform while Apple is treating it less seriously? I'm not saying this in a snarky way; I mean it literally as a change of corporate strategies in both companies. Microsoft seems to be saying, If you are a pro mainly using the Mac for professional work, we want to do a better job of empowering you, and Apple seems to be saying, If you are a pro mainly using the Mac for professional work, you need to get used to the idea that we are deemphasizing your market--no hard feelings.

The most convincing I've heard is that there are no big shot asian movie stars to draw viewers in, and Hollywood doesn't want to take risks.

The reason is there are no big shot asian movie stars is that asian actors don't land big shot movies.

This might arise from the way roles are cast by race in Hollywood.
A performance mystery (part one)
whoa, interesting perspectives. do you have more?
Prisons should basically be a mix between a school and a mental institution. If you are a loser and fucked up, your personal issues should be treated and you should get into a position of not being a loser any more (e.g. get a regular degree, apprenticeship, on which it does not say "done in prison"). You should have to stand up every day and have a normal workday to get used to that.

You should have to stay there for as long as you are a threat to society or as long as your situation has not changed and it is likely that you will commit the crime again.

So everything that is already that should be kept, everything else we can get rid of. I would personally say, start with socializing them again, then we have an incentive to reduce prison populations by keeping people out, who do not belong there in the first place. As always, when I make this comments I am a hopeless optimist: Do not worry, it is already happening.

Also something to cheer you up, America: Where do you think ISIS comes from? If you look for a group of losers, just turn to your local (on HN often praised) European prison.
Visual Studio for Windows is written in C# with WPF, but your point is still valid since they are two different codebases

Not at all. Of all the reasons for wanting a diamond ring, the mere fact that it's expensive is relatively low on the list for many (most?) people, and even then the price is just a proxy for expressed commitment. If it were about the money, a million other things could take its place. Personal value is the sum of many different factors, of which finances, morality, tradition, etc. are all a part.

I'm glad to see more Microsoft dev tools on other platforms but don't lose sight of why this is happening. Microsoft is shifting their business to the cloud. They make their money off Azure and other services. In other words, they are making their money mainly off of developers now and its in their best interest to get on the good side of devs which is why they suddenly have a vested interest in open sourcing tools and helping Mac/Linux. Given the love and lavish praise I see heaped on Microsoft in every thread they do something it's clearly working. I'm not saying don't praise them when they do something good but don't be deceived into thinking they are doing it out of good faith.
Given that "Even core features such as C# editing, Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android and ASP.NET Core are implemented as extensions", I assume it'd be relatively easy for them to implement, especially since VB and C# effectively compile the same.

Presumably, C#, Android, and iOS are their top priorities to support, things like VB are less so, but could be added later.
Hmm I have been googling for the last 15 minutes to find the difference between visual studio and visual studio code and cant seem to find a concrete answer. I thought yours was actually a hint at what it is aimed for but when you go to:

http://code.visualstudio.com/

it actually says it supports c++,c#... I still dont get what the difference is..

Having only ever developed on linux I am actually slightly excited to use an IDE like visual studio after seeing some people at work use it..
If we're comparing Apples-to-Apples (seriously, pun not (originally) intended), Apple continues to rev on the XCode IDE every year adding more features to it. Most recently, they added a nifty visual memory debugger[1] and have taken another stab at device & certificate provisioning.

I was really excited until I realized that. A C# IDE on macOS is cool, but damn I would kill for a better C++ experience on Apple. Xcode is ok, but it's code completion is buggy and there is no refactoring support... I've heard CLion is cool but I'm kind of poor and don't have the spare cash for it.
In the U.K. they come with earthed plug.

However I still noticed "buzzing" in the MBP, MBA and even iPad when I would touched them.

Took the MBP in to the store. It didn't buzz there. They gave me a new power supply anyways and recommended I connect the plug directly into the wall socket.

Turned out that the power strip I was using is not grounded even though it has three pin sockets !

When I plug Apple devices directly into the wall socket I don't notice any "buzzing".

So now I don't connect the Apple devices via a power strip.

WRONG. The removal of a dozen keys from an already gimped keyboard is decidedly anti-developer. Oh, but if you opt for the one remaining Apple laptop with an almost-full keyboard, guess what? Apple will PUNISH you by deleting one of the USB/Thunderbolt ports. Yeah: Power users and developers, the ones most likely to use I/O ports and function keys, get pettily PUNISHED when they opt for one or the other.

And you can shove your "whining" canard and your judgmental "upgrade" term, because anyone who takes computers seriously will easily break down that strawman. This "touch strip" is an embarrassing gimmick that doesn't hold up to common sense, much less developers' needs. As a user, we're suddenly supposed to embrace this non-palpable display strip on the keyboard, compulsively glancing down at it every few seconds to see if some goodies have popped up based on the caprices of the app we're using or the window we happened to click on? And as developers, we're supposed to write extra code to support this bullshit that only exists on SOME keyboards and ONE platform that has 5% market share?

And all this on glued-together computers with soldered-in RAM, proprietary drive interfaces, stupid glossy screens with no matte option... yeah, this "whining" is well-founded in FACT and self respect. Try getting some of both.

Brief overview of first results of the MPTCP IETF97 Hackathon
I heard that reasoning forever:

* It's fine that Hugo Weaving used prosthetic eyelids to look asian, the movie is about reincarnation across different ethnicities

* Emma Stone can play a half-asian half-white character since the character is half-white anyways.

* Ang and the other 3/4 principals can be white in The Last Airbender, since...???

* Mickey Rooney was being funny in Breakfast at Tiffany's, don't take it so seriously

Imagine being an asian-american actor and losing a role for Motoko Kusanagi to a caucasian actor, when the industry already has a long history of preferentially casting caucasian actors in at least the past 20-30 years, and before that basically always hired caucasian actors to play other ethnicities, not always very respectfully.
