He's a feckless fool. Campaigns on deporting ALL illegal immigrants and building a wall. Says (on 60 minutes, this is not fake, he said it): he's only going to deport illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes. This is exactly Obama's policy. He just won an election, and he's pushing the status-quo.

Again, on ACA repeal, he was VERY CLEAR in the debate: "repeal and replace Obamacare" (just not clear on "replace" with what). On 60 minutes, he's walking that back and talking about the parts he'll keep.

Trump is feckless. And a fool.

And Hillary may have armed radicals, but you look at photos of McCain shaking their hands. This policy will not change under a Trump administration, I guarantee it. Because he will do whatever this Republican congress wants. This is also true for Trade deals.

I agree pumped hydro is good, but there are only so many places you can site it.

> Which is why hydrocarbons produce less CO2 per watt than coal.

No. It has nothing to do with water. Coal is a hydrocarbon as well. It has to do with the type of hydrocarbon chains.
I see that proof, due to Euclid, as simpler because it doesn't require any facts about trigonometric functions.

What if it's not the news that's false, but memes and public opinion?

A friend's opinion is many more times effective than a random, fake, news article.

Are we going to start silencing opinion, because it's not factual? Almost nothing comes down to just True and False.

It feels like we are stating to go into dangerous territory, where we allow sites like Facebook to determine the truth for us.
Not as cool as most projects here but this is mine:
https://github.com/gempir/relaybroker

It is a proxy for irc bots on twitch.tv because connections can die and more than 1 connection will make things possible like going around rate limiting. Also joining a lot of channels at once is made easier so the user of our proxy needs to worry less about what he is sending when, we handle that.

Made it together with 2 friends who of mine we all 3 use it everyday for our bots. It was fun to write and learn go while doing so.
I wanna improve it everyday but I'm never sure where or what.
I did, I picked HGST because of their reports. No problems so far.

When you buy hard disks ONLY buy from Amazon or Newegg directly - never buy from a 3rd party seller on their site. Especially for hard disks there is too much fraud, and for a hard disk especially the risk of data loss makes it just too risky (unlike other items).
It may also have something to do with the fact that the Persian empires were a constant enemy of the progenitors of Western civilization: Greece and Rome. They were an existential threat to Greece, blocked the expansion of Rome, and obstructed the trade routes to China and India.

The most significant mentions in the Western canon primarily have to do with the Greco-Persian Wars. As much of European understanding of that time period is filtered through Greek and Roman sources, we hear more about their conquests than their failures.

> I'm not asking why people aren't as smart as I am.

Not directly, but you are being condescending to someone who has legitimate issues. Just because someone is on HN doesn't mean they are great with linux, or that they are even a technical person. Maybe he's got a different skillset, and doesn't like dicking around with shitty config files, obscure error messages, and jerks that tell them they should be "embarrassed" for not being omniscient.

Can you tell me the best way to pull HE levels from a GE MRI's MM? If not, are you going to spend a lot of time looking it up just because? Why aren't you embarrassed that you don't know that?

> If I was interviewing someone for a role and asked them for their thougts on using linux and got "well I usually give up after a few hours trying to install it" I'd look elsewhere.

Depends on the role. If it was a linux-admin job, absolutely. If it was for a job in HR, then I wouldn't care at all.

> Instead of connecting it to the Internet I connected it to my computer over bluetooth and started monitoring the traffic it tried to send

How did you set that up? I'd be interested in knowing how to redirect/proxy cellular connections to something local, in a way I could read and monitor the data (is it encrypted?).

Based on what you say, maybe you proxied Internet connections through Bluetooth - do you have a way to know whether there was any leakage? For example, I've read, but can't confirm, that Android makes connections during bootup and before any firewall takes affect.

> I ended up making a linux-based whitelist firewall to access the Internet but it is pretty inconvinient because I have to manually enable every new host. And I can use it only at home.

A VPN with a firewall might be easier.

A quadriplegic has a body, they can move their head, mouth, eyes, etc, and those things can influence the world. That constitutes a perception action loop which is a basic requirement for intelligence.

An AI without any actuators is more like a fully paralyzed person.

A baby which was born totally paralyzed would in fact be profoundly retarded and they would be unable to communicate or form anything resembling intelligence. See http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-seriously-creepy-two-kitten-exper...

That works with well written docs.

Python standard docs are not great, trying to remember how to use capturing groups on regexes for example (which I use maybe once or twice a year), it takes wading through three or four screens worth of text to get what I want. The Stack Overflow answer is likely to be far more concise, and will give me the example I am needing near the top of the page.

There isn't much information online, but I found a local TV story claiming that "David Hahn, the man known as the 'Radioactive Boy Scout', died in his Shelby Township home on Sept. 27 at the age of 39." 'In his home' would seem to exclude a car accident: https://www.facebook.com/ShelbyTwpTV/videos/942897049150097/

Separately, the funeral home "tribute wall" has comments which would seem to imply suicide or drug overdose. In particular, it would seem very odd to say "I believe David finally has the peace he so desperately needed" unless his mental state played a role in his death: http://www.wasikfuneralhome.com/obituaries/David-Hahn-2/#!/T...

fyi: re: "I don't really know if the medical field has any use for text mining, graph processing and the like."

It does. Although the graph processing use cases that I've seen recently (and their developers) are better served by a faster query engine than e.g. Spark has provided.

Most people, if they can get away with Excel, won't use an RDBMS. (Of course this means that eventually someone will have to come along and scrape all the damned spreadsheets into an RDBMS, but...)

Most people, if they can get away with an RDBMS, won't use Hadoop. (Of course, sometimes you end up with something like DB2 file pointers, which really just say "hey look here's a pile of unstructured data that we couldn't figure out how to handle, and this is where we left it", and then of course someone has to put it somewhere useful, but...)

Now if you're moving around copies of the Internet, or trillion-row "databases" that need nearly instantaneous OLAP, then yeah, you'll be needing a proper distributed infrastructure. However, sometimes you can just rent that proper infrastructure from a vendor with that problem (e.g. Google or Amazon) and then you don't have to support it.

Things get really interesting (as in bleeding edge research interesting) when none of the above solve your problem. But they also tend to push the time horizon for results way out.

JMHO. Eventually software eats everything. It's a question of time scales. If you need results next week, don't rebuild TensorFlow or Redshift from scratch.
How do you know they don't make that much money? I didn't see that anywhere in the blog post.

I agree that they make an enormous contribution to the world economy. Joel really did knock it out of the park -- remember expertsexchange? His goal was to get rid of that and it worked.
I've lived here for 10 years and can see it from both sides. Nobody will pull you out if you don't want to go out. I've made plenty of friends here with people who share my common interests, because I involve myself in sports, music, conferences, meetups, message boards. If I get an invite I try to take it because it might not happen again. Seattle has been traditionally (before the most recent influx of tech) passive, so if people see you at the bar alone in your thoughts, they will assume you want to be alone with your thoughts. I can often be introverted especially when work is heavy so this resonates with me just fine.

People work really hard, there are a ton of small businesses and the success of Seattle is only making the cost of living higher, so we all keep working. Many of the tech workers work overtime and hang out in the same places near work, so I don't see them. I go to restaurants without wait times and places in my neighborhood, Seattle is very neighborhood-y which may be unusual for people who relocate from Midwest or rural areas of America (I've lived there too).

Another good way to meet people is friends of your-friends-who-don't-live-here, so many people have moved here that I'm often 1 degree away from someone with who I have a commonality. Many people move here and bring their friends soon after so they already are setup with friends. But I don't know where these people are who are 'frozen' out of our friend group. Shoot the whole city is watching Seahawks every Sunday and you would be welcome rooting in any of those groups that I frequent. But whereever the frozen are looking is not where we are.
Getting more than two parties into the game would help lessen the divide, although that's certainly a challenge in its own right.

More options than "Trump because the economy even though he said all that stuff" and "Hillary because seriously _that guy_ with nukes?!" might allow a majority of people to actually agree on something rather than focussing on who can more strongly disagree.

I was very hopeful about Johnson making a dent this year, but what little coverage he got made him look like a fool.

Most likely, you would have to deposit a cash bond with a reasonably reputable court system advertising jurisdiction over civil disputes under some commonly published standard, and you would have to explicitly agree to grant them automatic jurisdiction over claims not exceeding a threshold amount, before anyone would put any of their own money at risk to deal with you.

You would have a hard time getting a job or obtaining credit without some demonstration that you can be responsible and individually accountable for your actions.

If your neighbor won't go to court, you have to weigh the consequences of possibly violent escalation. There is no cure for bad neighbors, with or without government-run courts.

We just want you to read the manual - we did. Summarizing knowledge to people that can't be bothered to read the manual is not a good use of my time. Please don't take that as mean spirited, it's just a fact.

"Giving back" to the open source world in my case is done by committing code and documentation, not free support. So when you hear "go read the manual" or RTFM - we aren't insulting you or being jerks. We genuinely want you to better yourself and acquire education, and are pointing you in the right direction to do so.

You are correct, there are very strict rules so you do need to make an attempt at making money (the definition of a "business"). If you are actually making a profit (thereby paying taxes for your business entity "the LLC"), then it makes it much easier. Now that I think about it, I think I end up paying my accountant/tax firm about $30k/year mostly for tax returns (I do most of the accounting myself in Xero)
It's interesting how it evolved from relatively low tech beginnings. For the opposite approach, I once spent some time with the lead engineer on Pringles (we were considering hiring the firm he worked for for some non-food work). He was justifiably proud of the technical challenges they had overcome and how much work they'd done based on the initial spec. No agilenprocess, but definitely spiral rather than waterfall development.

I was fascinated but haven't eaten pringles since.

I also once worked with a guy whose first job out of high school was at a/the Velveeta plant. I'd never tried the product and after his stories the idea makes me sick.

"This election was extraordinarily close. Within half a point."

No it wasn't and you're extraordinarily ill-informed about the US's political system to even make that claim. The US is a constitutional republic, not a direct democracy. The Electoral College is part of a carefully drawn up system by the Founding Fathers to prevent power from concentrating.

Our system is hardly better than what the Russians have, but because people like your read sites like RT uncritically, you think we have some magical shield that can stop thousands of nukes and their countermeasures. Our system can perhaps drop a handful of launches from a rogue state like North Korea or Iran, depending on the sophistication of their counter-measures. Some analysts think it may not be able to shoot down anything by a determined rogue state. Its also been tailored via various agreements and protests by Russia to only have so much capacity and to be in locations where it can only affect N Korea and the Middle East. The idea that it invalidates MAD is hysterical.

Worse, if you worry about countries joining the EU and NATO, maybe Russian should stop invading its neighbors, annexing their lands, and stop blowing up civilians. Want friends? Be friendly.
As someone who regularly advises new users to read the minimum complete verifiable example (MCVE) doc [1], both with review flags and in comments, I really think you should!

Unlike most manuals, it's a fairly short and incredibly well written document. Anyone who reads and follows most of it will be a very valuable user to the community. In fact, following it's process might lead you to figuring out your own questions before you submit sometimes, at least that's how it's worked for me. Sure, it requires effort, but it makes for a better experience all around.

[Many questions that I see get downvoted are authors that make no attempt to follow the guidelines, or have asked a question easily answerable in the standards docs for that language or library. Still, I often answer these personally to provide a bit of hand-holding because what's obvious to someone who's been working with a language for 5 years might not be to someone who's been with it for 1. It's hard to draw a line around obviousness. In any case, if you follow the guidelines you're likely to receive help.]

They could, but Zuckerberg has invested years in saying that sharing information on Facebook is somewhat meaningful towards making the world more connected.

So when Facebook does what Facebook does, he can't just shrug and has to justify it.
