Thanks a lot for the feedback!!

You can actually do number 3. On Config > Keyboard select Caps as Ctrl at the modifier section, and also toggle the Caps as ESC. That will give you Ctrl on hold, and ESC on tap. :)
Secret questions are horrible when they're predefined, and what's worse is when the options are also predefined (e.g. United Airline's website).

However a secret question like "who did you have a crush on back in 5th grade" is limited to maybe 10 people the world who know and I'm comfortable with that (of course this changes with the over-publicising of our lives on social media).

But I'm digressing and agree TOTOP 2FA is great for the masses. Just be sure to have the backup codes stored in a safe space.
The difference between words and physical action only becomes apparent at the point fist connects with face, with is rather too late if you want to avoid being beaten up. This makes the mere threat of violence a very effective weapon. Look up the legal definition of "assault" sometime.

"Come and cuddle" isn't really the same thing as not firing someone.

I agree with your second point - but I don't see how that's solved by firing them - again, it's just going to reinforce the idea that "white men are under attack!".

I get what you are saying, but it turns out almost half of the voting population agrees with his ideas, so the fight isn't over. I, too, thought we were past this point, but clearly we are not. It's exhausting, but it's reality.

I'm hoping that it's just people believing the lie - hopefully people will realise that denying other's their rights won't magically solve unrelated problems they have. Enabling their victim complex by doing stuff like this definitely won't help.
Trump's position was the "Intel, not Infosys" one, where people like you wouldn't likely see a change, except possibly for joeclark77's point about entry level jobs.
Do you believe that any belief, however extreme, should be tolerated?
> If you are tolerant I will tolerate you, if you are intolerant go screw.

Of course the subject is relevant. "if you are intolerant go screw" - does that mean you are intolerant?
But doesn't this protocol make it impossible to prove what your secret key is? i.e. there are multiple (user-derivable) keys that look valid, as in deniable encryption?

(And I'm sure everyone's in agreement with the importance of making the ballot secret.)
I had a similar issue with my dad a year ago or so. Solved with a chromebook.
Zappa is a Python tool that can be extremely helpful for persons getting into Lambda. It basically handles everything except for code creation (You have to do that). You can make crontab like jobs or a website and then push the code up to Lamba with a single command. It handles all the temporary S3 buckets, IAM account creation, fetching the Lambda URL, uploading code and connecting Lambda to API Gateway. Deployments are super smooth.

pip install zappa

It supports all of the Languages for Lambda, not just Python.
> But it still stands that the core message of tolerance is that we should examine things for harm and accept those things that minimize it, not that we should accept all things mindlessly.

The recorder of that video has gone on to create a fundraiser with two goals: 1) to defame the man in the video, and 2) to seek general recompense from the public for her harm.

I'm sure you watched enough of the video to get the gist of what happened, and any common-sense person would immediately dismiss her claims of harm. But by giving her a benefit of the doubt, by choosing to "examine" that situation far beyond its merits, she is given the platform and the opportunity to play the victim and in so doing simultaneously cause direct harm to another person and personally benefit from it.

I commented about the HN behavior in another thread. (I did not comment about the HN behavior in the article because I have no statistical evidence of HN behavior.)
I code in Fortran 77/90 an average of 3 hours a day and I have a lot of fun! For science, the language is just vanishing and you can focus on the equations with at the end a crazy fast code.

The other 3 hours are in Python, Go and JS&cie.
Right, if you throw out the requirement of secrecy, it's pretty easy to produce a verifiable system. That's the whole problem to begin with.
The article is very slightly more nuanced but the conceptss the title purports is DANGEROUSLY INCOMPETENT for any security expert / discussion / context.

1) idea that security is something you check off and be done with is dangerously wrong. Security must be continuous, must be updated, reviewed, etc.

2) idea that you can "encrypt" [secure] your entire life is ludacris and leads to many dangerous security misconceptions. You don't even have control of your entire life, let alone ability to secure it. Most the data on you is owned by others and not even available to you to secure. The world is not private or secure. Everyone needs to know and think about this when they are tweeting, sexting, talking shit about future president and then being surprised when SS comes to investigate.

3) idea that security is either on/off, a binary, that you can be secure or not. Is False and leads to extremely poor security choices, over/under securing. Nothing is secure. There is not such thing as SECURE. Things lie on a gradient of security from easy to break to impractically difficult. Things on the impractical to break technically end are still broken due to social engineering, externalities (power consumption of cpu), poor practices surrounding item, etc. Security is making the effort required to get an item greater than the value of getting the item.

Yes, Nintendo games and games from a few other developers are probably the most pleasant pieces of software that I've ever used: well-designed interfaces, low-latency interaction, very few bugs, and tons of attention to detail.

I wish there was more information out there about Nintendo's software development process.

Let me ask you this: Why were people so shocked here that Trump won? Could echo chamber sentiment play a part? Trump win was clear for lot of people who did some research instead of outsourcing thinking to FOX/CNN/MSNBC/NYTIMES.

Considering common sentiment here is exact DNC/media has created ’Trump supporters are racist, sexist, homophobic’. 'Trump is x' when in reality he is the opposite its clear some voices aren’t heard.

One would think it would be more fruitful for sites like HN to know the other side of things.
Waterloo region's tech sector takes wait-and-see approach to Trump
There's a lot of academic work in this area, some of it going back 20 years. The keyword to look for when searching for papers is "receipt-free" voting.
Oh wow. That actually works. I think I just found a new default SSH client for my iPad. Thanks.
Can you not understand how that is not only ibtellectually dishonest, but a terrible analogy
Are you saying that grabbing somebody like that isn't sexual assault, or are you suggesting that Trump was dishonest when he claimed he did it?
Randomizing the top three comments.

Have three categories: New, Best (up:down ratio is high), Controversial (up:down ratio of 1:1).

Pick one from each category and then randomly make them the top three. For larger threads you can salt them into the top 10 comments.

New comments that are truly good have a chance of being picked up to Best or Hot, and Controversial comments spur discussion and moderate the self-reinforcing circle-jerk that threads descend into.
> in the cultural '60s, which extended into the calendar '70s, the idea that the menu of solutions for your political problems includes outright liquidation of a subset of your opponents.

> I cannot for a second assume the political struggle in the US is not existential for me and my family.

So, I once asked my Romanian colleague what it was like in the revolution at the death of Ceaucescu. It was, obviously, horrifying and chaotic, with all sorts of self-appointed street violence squads. Since then I've generally cut him a bit more slack when he rants about leftists. That kind of thing sticks with a man. And so I also have some sympathy with the Cubans who've maintained that Cuba is some great commie threat to the US, etc. etc.

What I cannot understand is the belief that there is going to be some kind of purge of white right-wing Americans. To me, the idea that "eliminationism" has any kind of base in the "left" (or at least the part that has the Democratic party in it) is just unrecognisable. To me, it is completely out of bounds already.

(Edit: I suppose the US does maintain an internment camp for political opponents, beyond the rule of law, and Obama has failed to close it. But Bush opened Guantanamo and put its inmates there. This is also why we campaign against the unaccountable drone murder programme)

I'm sorry I appear not to be taking it seriously, but I find it about as plausible as an alien invasion. Now, if you asked me who in the US was genuinely and plausibly afraid of eliminationism, I would have said the usual: ethnic minorities (not just black people and Native Americans, but bearing in mind the internment of Japanese people during the war), and non-straight people. And Jews.

I'm middle-aged enough to remember the Cold War. I also remember walking past a TV showing footage which I assumed was Beirut and turned out to be the LA Rodney King riots. And I know enough history to know that massacres extend a long way back before the French Revolution.

I'm baffled at the ascribing of the Nazis to the "left", given their explicitly murderous anti-Bolshevism and war with the USSR. The thing is, there are a lot of people on the left who believe that Trump is going to start exactly the same kind of eliminationist event. Aren't both sides afraid of the same thing? Has someone left their tu quoque mirror on upside down?

Tangentially related question. What deployment tools are people using to manage systems with many lambda functions?

We use SWF to trigger over 50 separate lambda functions in processing. We've got some very nice internally developed tools to identify which functions are out of date and help with deployment. I'm just curious what else is available to handle DevOps tasks in a Serverless environment (i.e. deploying library updates, etc).

That's pretty much the whole point, or at least that you have to assume that any other report from the organization could be equally inaccurate. Or worse. Or better; what it says is that their editorial process is fatally flawed.
The undivided support of the state, which has a legitimate interest in helping make it possible for stable, settled families to produce new generations of citizens and thus to perpetuate itself. From the perspective of any system of rule, this is the purpose of marriage. Homosexual partnerships, which are incapable of producing children, thus are of no benefit to the state, and can only be an unproductive diversion of funds which otherwise would be allocated to the benefit of heterosexual marriages which can and often do produce children.

In the case where it's considered desirable to ensure that homosexual partners receive the same benefits of familial status (e.g. the commonly cited hospital visitation rights), without also including such partnerships in the financial benefits of heterosexual marriage, a federal civil union statute would easily suffice. Such things have been proposed many times, but invariably have been shot down from the left, rather than the right, as representative of "second-class citizen" status, just like "whites" and "coloreds" water fountains - a risible claim, especially in light of e.g. GLAD's explainer [1], in which, discounting the two already disposed of here, every reason cited in favor of "gay marriage", and against civil union, is at its base about money.

Such, at least, is the primary reason why I oppose the idea of "gay marriage", to say nothing of the Supreme Court's having recently discovered in the Constitution that there exists an inalienable right to same. This puts me in an apparently contradictory position, being that I am myself homosexual, but that contradiction exists only in the presence of an assumption that identity politics are the only valid sort.

Of course, to hear "gay rights" organizations tell it, that is precisely true, and we are not allowed to take a stance such as mine, or indeed any other that fails to correspond exactly with the current party line. To do so is derided [2] or pathologized [3] - or, of course, both. The possibility that we might have evaluated the cases for and against on their relative merit, and made our decisions accordingly, doesn't really enter into the discussion - and neither does the possibility that those who claim to speak and act on behalf of all homosexuals need not have their claims taken at face value by anyone, not even we whom they insist they defend.

Donald Trump could be impeached within weeks, claims legal professor
We know how to make a simple, verifiable, understandable voting system: paper ballot, maybe with an electronic counter.

You can explain in about 30 seconds that the ballots shouldn't be individually identifiable, you have a record that is difficult to tamper with, etc.

How many people have a rigorous understanding of Zero Knowledge proofs? How many people would be able to audit the implementation of such a system?

The benefits that come from electronic voting are small, and we can get them in other ways. Why are people so eager to add so much complexity to such an important civic function?
I don't claim to be an expert on all these cases but I think I've made my point.

Regarding Bethesda, the linked Wired article indicates Gawker exposed both Bethesda and Buzzfeed for removing negative articles at different times.

I'm not necessarily anti-Silk Road but exposing it is still worthwhile investigative journalism
How does this solve the problem? Previously, if I wanted to verify someone else's vote, I would need their SSN and Voter ID. Now I also need the county's receipt.

If someone would so readily hand over their SSN and Voter ID, what will stop them from handing over the county receipt?

https://github.com/swanson/stringer -- I built an RSS reader a few year agos with the same ethos: "Stringer has no external dependencies, no social recommendations/sharing, and no fancy machine learning algorithms. But it does have keyboard shortcuts..."

It's not being actively developed (it's 'feature complete' and working just fine), but might suit your needs.
I did, and it states that electrons can hold one of two spin values. But within the mathematical framework of QM, that value is unknown before measurement - so it is ambiguous - which is interpreted (by QM) as a possible superposition of both values.

The physical experiment itself only detected spin up or spin down.

And that is the main question, how can we know this [electron superposition state] is not just a product of the framework being used, with no real counterpart in reality?
Maybe they start as office break rooms, but they turn into gated communities and ghettos. The way to stop ghettos from forming, is to do the opposite of building gated communities, and instead subsidize housing in the wealthiest districts. Intellectual ghettos should be treated the same way. To prevent like minded hate spaces from forming, dont cast people you dont like, off to the side. Integrate dissent into every place you can. It will make us less partisan and more prepared to change our minds when introduced to evidence.
I sympathize. Any of the the todo apps that have an Inbox feature that you can add to from anywhere would probably be most of what you want. I use Omnifocus, though something free/web like Todoist is probably sufficient. If you spend a lot of time on the command line, todo.txt type apps are nice and simple.

For me the main thing was: I want to hit a key, type something, and be done. Don't show me a bunch of other stuff or I'll get distracted. So like right now I can hit ctrl-opt-space and a little Omnifocus box pops up to capture my thought and then goes away. When I'm in the mind to sort through the list, then I'll look at all the gory details.

I think there's many reasons for this, but the top couple are imo:

- Linux trusts their users to know what they are doing. They do not build layers of abstractions to make things "easy". These abstractions create complexity and just get in the way, especially if you know what you're doing technically.

- There is significant influence on the technical decisions by nontechnical people for business, personal, and political goals. Quarterly profits are the main motivator for Windows development. If it turned out that abandoning Windows would make Microsoft more money, they would do it. With Linux, the incentive is to have a "good" operating system. Money is important in the sense that it keeps Linux dev healthy, but making money is not the primary objective of the project.

- Because money is the main motivator, Windows is beholden to the people with the most cash. Often this is large enterprise organizations which make poor technical decisions. Microsoft in turn, must provide support for these technical decisions, forcing Microsoft itself to make poor technical decisions. I'm sure Windows developers would love if everyone stopped using old crufty tech from 2001, but since there's a lot of money riding on that tech, the show must go on.
Queer can also mean strange, and indeed that was a historical meaning for quite some time.
The poor peoples campaign was one. They demanded an economic bill of rights. Martin Luther King was the founder of it, he believed that poverty the main issue in America at that time. A month later he was assassinated and the whole thing fell apart.

"The Poor People’s Campaign was motivated by a desire for economic justice: the idea that all people should have what they need to live. King and the SCLC shifted their focus to these issues after observing that gains in civil rights had not improved the material conditions of life for many African Americans. The Poor People’s Campaign was a multiracial effort—including African-Americans, whites, Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Native Americans—aimed at alleviating poverty regardless of race."

His assassination (by government or business interests) is the only conspiracy I subscribe to. I believe we would live in a different world if he had a few more years on this earth.

If I remember, fingerprint was verified using libssh2, but I do not think they do SHA256 yet. Tried to look in their documentation but didn't find it. Would be a great addition too.
It's insane that anyone didn't see this coming, because the whole ideological content of the cultural revolution dealt with how international capitalist enterprise can be used to remove wealth from a country, and how to fight against it.
You don't need more knowledge
I understand where you're coming from, and I empathize. I'd like you to try to see the world from my eyes, where that exact same statement applies, word for word, about Hillary Clinton's stance on gun rights.
The last 30 years have shown that growth through globalization mainly benefits the top few percent and hurts the rest. For most people wages have stagnated or gone down. You can get cheap T-shirts while housing prices explode. I bet with more automation even in China a lot of the factory workers that escaped poverty will get stuck at low wage jobs or get laid off soon and be poor again.

I hope people everywhere will develop an understanding that growth that isn't widely distributed is useless or even negative.
Most of the very wealthy people I've met work very hard indeed, yet they are not considered to be "working folk". Why be antagonistic toward powerful people in the core jargon of the party plank? Would honesty of language, or perhaps even inclusiveness, work better than emotional resonance and tribalism?
Some significant portion of the complexity in Windows is around having many ways to do things, because Microsoft has committed to strong backwards compatibility. Because Linux doesn't have a strong backwards compatibility requirement, older apis get removed fairly quickly after new apis come through.
Marvellous! I tried an iPad Pro about half a year ago, but the lack of a good ssh/mosh client made me return it. Perhaps I'll need to check it out again -- especially the smaller Pro seems like it could be a fine choice now for a portable terminal.

Trump Era Real-Time Hate Crime Mapper
Just looking at the headline(without the domain), and recent events, I thought this was going to be about Teams vs Slack.

The reality is that an organization as big and as talented as Microsoft could, if they put their mind to it, develop and release a software product in virtually any market covered by their ISVs, and unless it is really terrible, or the third-party tool is really good, displace it.
Going off on a bit of a tangent, it's interesting to think about how 100 odd years ago if your heart stopped, you were declared dead. Then we got defibrillators and CPR, etc. and suddenly if your heart stopped you could still be resuscitated.

Further, nowadays, if you have a heart attack and no one makes an effort to resuscitate you, and there's someone who knows how to nearby, most people would argue that that person has forgone a moral obligation.

This is one of the arguments made for cryonics[0], in two ways. If in the future it's possible that we'll be able to revive a cryopreserved body, then you can't really consider someone dead if they're cryopreserved within a certain timeframe after their heart stops (just as today you can't consider someone dead within the ~5 minutes after their heart stops, because of CPR, etc). What's more, the people of the future will have a moral obligation to revive cryopreserved bodies, because not doing so would be the equivalent of not attempting CPR on someone who just had a heart attack. This is the response given when someone asks why anyone in the future would be bothered to go through the hassle of reviving cryopreserved bodies.

Food for thought.
