I took the CWR tour years ago. My recollection is that Churchill had a funny sense of danger and would go up on the roof during a raid. The War Rooms weren't even reinforced against bomb damage until later when this big old slab was installed overhead.
They can claim these things but I am not certain such things will hold up in court.

Could you consider adding config sync via iCloud/Dropbox? It's quite a pain to sync host lists across several iOS devices.
Ditto. The idea of doing any kind of professional work in a shell via an iOS device doesn't make sense to me at all, and making the shell fancier wouldn't help.

I think in general people just want more stability as they get older, including protecting the wealth and status they've accumulated. Rightly or wrongly, this might encourage them to support the "conservative" side, which purports to want to protect the status quo and the way things were in "the good old days".

* problem-solving

* logical reasoning

* understanding of economics and personal finance

* self-regulation

* Critical thinking

* creativity

* Numeracy

* Computational thinking

* focus

* concentration

* responsibility

These are just random ideas, some things overlap or are not precise etc. I was just wondering what others are thinking.
The famous Toyota Production System is designed around getting a continuous stream of innovations from factory workers.
This is the likely result.

Google probably dampened the authority of many of the sites linking to ProtonMail, for one reason or another.

This most likely brought Protons rank down without them doing anything wrong.
Sorry, by "signing key" I meant "public part of the signing key", which is what is used for verification. Counterfeit hardware can also just ignore signatures on binaries.

Presumably Cisco is really talking about using trusted hardware to preserve secrecy of their binaries (as the march of software eats their custom hardware, too). Which as I said, is possible to do without privileging specific signing keys.
First off let me clarify that I'm no Trump supporter either. :) That said, I've been reading a book called "The Accidental Superpower" that I find very insightful, and the author makes arguments similar to the ones you mentioned. He argues that since WW2 the US has defended free trade around the world (through "the Bretton Woods system") essentially "for free" - even though we shoulder the defense burden for the rest of the world we haven't used this to negotiate treaties that are biased in our favor. The author sees this system ending in the next 20 years (i.e., the US will no longer defend the world's commerce for free) and he spends a large portion of the book discussing how different countries around the world will have to adapt.

A couple interesting notes: the author predicts that in a world with less free trade the US would do relatively well thanks to shale oil and our other natural resources (like rivers and rich farmlands).

He also talks a lot about demographic changes. He says in the US this will cause some pain from ~2020-2030 as the baby boomers retire, but we'll recover as millennials enter the most productive years of their careers (40s-early 60s).

However he also predicts much more dire consequences for Russia due to demographic changes, and suggests they might not recover from a decline starting around 2020.

Compare:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Russia_Sex_by_Age_2015010...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:USA_by_Sex_and_Age_2015-0...

I can't repeat the entire analysis from the book in this box but I've found the author's comments to be thought-provoking so far. :)

Of particular interest to the HN crowd, the author also argues that demographic issues mean that right now there is an unusually large amount of investable capital available, but this will soon change as baby boomers begin to retire and switch from accumulating and investing their money to trying to stretch what they've already earned to last the rest of their lives. He predicts we'll see much less money available for risky investments starting in the next few years, due simply to demographic changes around the world.
Ironically, I have to setup an SSH socks proxy through a third region to use Google (or DuckDuckGo but not Facebook, sorry), to get through the blocking and kinda protect my privacy. Sounds like a two-birds-with-one-stone solution?

Frankly once you pass the stage of the trouble that you get mad to find how to specify a socks proxy in your most frequently used apps and that you have to always open a window of Firefox which override systemwide proxy settings but kills your laptop battery, you'll just reach inner peace and get used to it.

This actually does happen with some car manufacturers. The one I'm most familiar with (having experience with the process) is Porsche with their GT cars and "collector grade vehicles".

Want the next 911 GT3 RS? The best way to guarantee you get one is to give a dealer a deposit (usually just $5000) for "the next GT3 RS" at least 3 years before the vehicle is officially announced. You do have to wait for that dealer to get an allocation (so often you'll place a deposit with multiple dealers who sell a lot of 911s), but when they pop you get yours assuming you were early enough in line. A few long-term repeat customers may get bumped ahead of you in line, but at the end of the day you'll get your car.

There was a lot of anger at the availability of the Cayman GT4, but despite never being a prior Porsche owner I had the opportunity to pass on it twice (for a much harder to get Boxster Spyder) because I knew how the process went, and had deposits for non-existant cars with multiple dealers years before they were announced.
I haven't seriously studied the Punic Wars, and all this is from memory, but the one with Hannibal pretty early on started with one of the worst defeats in Roman military history, I think you'd have to go to Augustus for the next one of that level or so.

But after that, he wasn't able to take Rome, and the Romans refused battle in Italy. Instead, they eventually kicked enough ass in Africa that Hannibal was recalled to there, where he eventually lost. I think that was the 2nd, and the 3rd was simply finishing off a weak Carthage so it would never threaten Rome again, "Carthage delenda est" and all that. Neither fits the pattern you're looking for.

The number 1 thing we should focus on is keeping the sea lanes open. Everything else after that is gravy, and indeed, no longer playing "world cop" now that the Cold War is over is one of many areas where Trump and the people who voted for him are aligned.

As for other examples, maybe the Norman conquest of Britain? But that's seriously complicated in cause, and I'm not sure Britain counted as a wealthy nation back then.

Ah, that's a key, look for battles where the king was a participant and got killed in it. Resistance tends to fall apart after that.

And an "all out invasion" of the US is physically impossible prior to e.g. taking out our hunter-killer subs and otherwise securing a logistics line, unless you think Canada or Mexico/Latin America are up to the job, and there "a rifle behind every blade of grass" suffices.
No, you can't copy facts, period.

You can copyright facts that have been 'fixed in a tangible medium of expression' as long as there's some minimal element of creativity.

Sheet music is copyrightable because the notes have been "fixed" onto a piece of paper. A recording of a band is copyrightable because the music has been "fixed" in the record, tape, CD, or other file.

You can copyright a specific description of a chess match, as I've fixed it here: "You could hear a pin drop as Kasparov proceeded with the Spanish Opening, a favorite for the Russian..."

What you can't do is use copyright to prevent someone else from extracting the facts from this description (e4 e5, etc) and presenting them in some other way.
The submitted title was "Y Combinator blacklists founder of Gab.ai for saying “build the wall”", but we shortened it because it doesn't sound like that was the reason.

(I don't have any information about this beyond skimming the current thread and looking at a few of the things people have linked to.)
> By the way, I think you are trying to gaslight us by using half truths. The same half truths you've used to convince yourself that Trump is good for the country.

I value rationale debate above all else. The ability to debate ideas is being silenced extremely effectively by the progressives and it will continue. For me, I prioritise this freedom of speech and ability to debate the issues with opposing viewpoints above all else.

This is my true goal.

This election revealed the true liberal media bias with their self-admitted inability to realise what was happening around them.

> Will you accept you screw up if he screws up the country?

Yep.

> If he doesn't leave the country worse off then what it is right now then I'll admit that I was wrong in thinking that he would screw up this country. If he actually makes it better then I'll admit that he was a good choice.

Okay!
When you talk about search, you have to talk about search keywords to put things in context. "How high do you rank on Google?" is a meaningless question, for instance.

ProtonMail said they weren't ranking for "encrypted email" and "secure email" [1] for a year, not just "email". How many "much more popular" than ProtonMail "encrypted email" services do you know?

And no, using StartTLS doesn't count. I'm talking about email services that have promoted themselves and in the media as encrypted or end-to-end encrypted email services, and would therefore get the ranking for those search queries.

ProtonMail wasn't talking about ranking high for the word "email". Obviously that would be quite difficult to impossible for a year old company.

Trump Says He May Keep Parts of Obama Health Care Act
A lot of the comments here on copyright seem to be looking for answers to distinguish this from other copyright issues. Rather than summing up every copyright argument for or against, I thought I'd link to a fairly relevant case: Feist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_Publications,_Inc.,_v._R....

Feist is a case where a phone book company stole the data in a phone book, and began reselling it. It deals with publication of facts, and is a situation where there's a reasonable public policy argument for incentivising the private company's work collection of phone number data. It's a commonly taught fundamental Copyright claim that is a great starting point for those interested in researching further.
How is this different than every other instance of signing for verification? Are you opposed to package managers, publicly posted hashes, GPG, and even TLS works with the same method. What about it verifying the operating system makes it more prone to being misused?

I'm not a Trump supporter. I didn't vote for him, and as noted in my previous post, I am truly horrified when I think about what his Supreme Court choices could mean for marriage equality ( among other things! ).

* We don't need to give H1-B guest workers negotiating power.

* We need to end H1-B and send the guest workers home.

* We need to replace the guest workers with American workers.

Access to jobs, and the economic mobility accompanied by it, is a bedrock social justice issue in America.

It is an enormous social injustice to make American workers compete with foreign nationals for jobs. Frankly, I don't see how it's possible read about American workers having to train their foreign worker replacements and not see it as anything less than deeply and tragically wrong.
Nah, we come up number 2 for a search for "reliable email" when I'm logged in and number 5 when I'm logged out - which sounds bad, but the stuff about it is all questions about how reliable email delivery is. Fair enough.

We don't even rate a mention for "professional email" because it's all about how to not come across like a n00b when writing emails.

(interestingly, bing search for professional email has an ad for Google's email above the search results)

I agree. Business leaders belong on the list.

I once worked a job that involved dealing with a lot of civil service folks. We worked on a land-locked Navy base which had exactly two uniformed naval personnel (that I ever saw, anyway), who were in theory the #1 and #2 people in charge of a few hundred civil servants and a similar number of contractors.

Now, everyone knew the Navy guys (a captain and his XO) would be there for about 18 months and then they'd get transferred or retire. If the captain wanted something to get done, it would only get done if the civil servants (who had been there 20+ years) wanted it to get done, because they knew how to gum up the works until he was gone.

They also knew how to undermine and embarrass him, which at flag ranks (or wannabe flag ranks) will end your career. You can't fire a civil servant unless there's a felony involved, so even if he figured out what was going on he couldn't do much.

That's what happens in Washington, too. Political leaders come and go. They put appointees at the top positions of giant bureaucracies, but the bureaucrats have their own agendas, and they know how to work the system. They're know which reporters to leak what to if the president upsets them.

In Congress the Congressmen (and women) come and go. But they all rely on staff for information, and the same people pop up on congressional staffs over and over. Those are the people who actually write the laws (or edit what the lobbyists produce) - the congressmen don't even read what they're voting on.

The point is there's an entire layer of people, what I've seen called the "deep state", that you don't get to vote on except in the most indirect way. You could say they're not very ideological, if you're generous, or you could say their ideology is power. They went to the same schools, they go to the same parties, they marry each other, they read the same books, watch the same TV shows, etc.

It's not some grand conspiracy. It's just one of those self-organizing aristocracies that pops up whenever a government isn't overthrown for a long time.

I'm an American and I work in tech with a bunch of people on H1-Bs, and I think your proposition is ridiculous. The people I work with are really good. We interview a ton of Americans as well, but there just aren't enough strong candidates to fill the positions.

It's not like American tech workers have high unemployment... Maybe some companies exploit the system, but your stance is extreme. We should promote importing talent. Maybe the system needs work, but it doesn't need to be eviscerated.

Not crass, its a reasonable question and the answer is "not really." The only VR app I've seen that was nominally 'porny' was a 3D app with rendered nude figures. If you ever saw the 'nude' hack to the nVidia "Dawn" demo that would be a good starting visualization.

That said, it is a stereotype that pornographers are the first to exploit new technology commercially and that was what I was going for with that comment. What I actually expect the first "VR" porn to be basically actors filmed with one of the new 360 view cameras as the camera person walks around them. Basically replacing the "directors" idea of what would be useful to look at with your own choice. Given my understanding of how these sorts of things are shot, I expect this to be pretty challenging for the actors. The only "degree of freedom" is where you are looking.

I'm a big fan of AR and I really love the CastAR stuff but recognize that what VR has is vomitness AR has in image registration and occlusion.

In AR, the registration requirement is that you have to keep things in the environment pinned in the environment or your brain complains. There were some Google Tango demos that have that issue. When their position is "jittering" or worse moving around, your brain starts rebelling.

The occlusion part is really hard for your eyeballs. Since the world is naturally pretty light anyway, in order to make a pixel appear before you that is "opaque" with respect to the background behind it, you need to either literally block out the pixel behind (using and LCD shutter or something), always insure the background is not "bright" (the CastAR solution with the retro-reflective cloth) or dump more light into your eye to overwhelm its notion of what color the pixel is (putatively the Magic leap solution). The "VR" solution is to put high definition cameras on the headset where your eyeballs would be with a similar field of view and sensitivity and then mix in the "outside" data with the generated data.

And as you point out on the plus side if you can see someone in "real time" its a much better interactive experience.
> LOL at the idea that they can't just wait for them to manufacture more of them. I mean, the games have been out for nearly 30 years now, right?

Assuming more are eventually manufactured, which many hope to be the case...in this instance.

On a related personal note roughly 5 years ago, HP released a limited edition of their 15c RPN scientific calculator[1], which promptly sold out and found their way on eBay listing for $100s more. Despite popular demand, HP never manufactured more. I was lucky enough to acquire two units direct from HP at original cost and actively use one--along with a 35s--on a daily basis; the second is a spare that I refuse to part with.

The moral bankruptcy manifests in a willingness to acknowledge that this behavior is unacceptable were the product "food, medicine, or housing" or any commodity that is generally classified as a necessity. In my eyes, the principle of the matter cannot discriminate.

It seems silly to me to allocate a product by the vageries of refresh rates and server responsiveness.

It seems like Amazon could come up with many other ideas for allocating a limited product. There's no rule that says it has to be based on the millisecond ordered.

For example how about a game of chance (or skill?) to let people compete for the product? It would feel a lot more fulfilling than an error page. And it would give them good brand interaction.
Something they definitely need a solution for is sanitation, since there will be a lot of reuse of the same headset. I've heard this is a big issue that people over overlook at conventions, and there has been cases of eye herpes going around.

How did you get these systems ?
If you don't mind me asking, why don't you set it up with a dial-up modem? Termination prices for Chinese phone calls are extremely cheap (meaning besides the obvious point of cheaper calls, you'll easily get higher quality routes that're more likely to reliably pass modem traffic), and SSH, let alone any sort of encrypted point to point serial data, over a modem isn't particularly painful to use unless you're transferring large files.
I get what you're saying. It's not constructive to simply shout "racist!" at someone and run away. (Although I did just that to "masondixon" elsewhere in this thread, but I stand by that: dude is a looney. Long experience has taught me not to waste time with a true-blue freakazoid like that.)

For communicating with normal everyday folks who don't even know they're racist you do indeed have to use a light touch if you want to get through to them. I totally agree with that and do my best to practice it.

------

As for whether or not the statements he made about the Judge indicate strongly ("big league") that Trump is racist (however latent or unconscious) I think we have to agree to disagree. For me, and a lot of folks, it was disgusting hearing something like that from a presidential candidate. I'm not surprised so many people are saying today that his election proves that middle America is racist. I've heard his election called "revenge for eight years of <African-American> president"! In any event, racists are having a field day.
