I'm finding about the same, including major sites like Mint.com and Amazon (or part of Amazon's CDN for images, anyway). I'm running a slightly older Ubuntu and as of now, Chromium 53 is the latest in the repos...

Unlikely. I would be very surprised if president Obama granted this request. And that's just one of many reasons why democrats did not have a strong turn-out, they lost touch with their base.

How did the Snowden Disclosures get completely dismissed by this report? US intelligence has been backdooring social and messaging apps for mass surveillance and propaganda (e.g. Zunzuneo) for decades.

Internet freedom was only a short, small blip of possibility. It died decades ago when control was consolidated into regulated corporations, its companies were infiltrated by intelligence personnel, and when modern communications became a specific military target (with UK and US leading the charge).

This story doesn't offer solutions (I get that it's not trying to). Rather, it repudiates specific countries for specific decisions while giving others a free pass for their own unsavory behavior.

It's cute that their map shows the former Soviet Union as "not free" and the former American Cold War strategic assets as "free" - but this cute glib approach to assessment is backed by a severe lack of security analysis and a severe lack of reasonable acknowledgement of basic facts.

Here's an approach: encourage technology whose transparency and control is centered in individuals & cede top-down influence over the networks of those individuals and their technology as much as is technically possible.

Don't like that solution? Well, you're in for a ride called "waning internet freedom". Color the map however you want. But appropriating the free software movement into some military geopolitical nonsense loses you credibility.
I was indeed picturing a mill setup. I guess the cost of the abrasive seems higher than the costs associated with material loss, coolant, etc at the hobbyist scale, but I'm also not particularly familiar with this domain.
Goods and Services taxes are regressive, that hurts the poor.
Which would more correctly be "a naught-day" anyway. "Aught" and "ought" are abbreviated, rebracketed forms of "naught" and "nought", respectively. But etymologically, their strict meanings may be interpreted as anything or everything. They are thus in the rare category of auto-antonyms or contronyms.

As such, I would only use them to give elven advice (that is, intentionally ambiguous advice). In the context of software vulnerabilities, an aught-day would either be a 0-day, or one with an indeterminate nonzero number of days lead time to patch. So, maybe something the vendor knows about, but it would take rare expertise crossed with obscure motive to exploit?
No, it'a not done to gut workers rights. The workers are still employees, of the franchise owner. It is done because expanding through franchises is a lot quicker and less risky than expanding company owners stores, because someone else puts up the capital and assumes the risk of failure.
Malcolm Gladwell (author of Blink, Tipping Point, etc) has an interesting podcast about Leonard Cohen's song, and how it took a couple of fortuitous happenings before the original was reinterpreted into a popular song.

Choosing Ember over React in 2016
> [...] the world needs lots and lots of code. In order to have lots and lots of code we need more programmers.

Nah, we can also have our programmes write code for us.

Snark aside, we are somewhat in agreement. We just have different personal preferences: I am happy to spend lots of time studying mostly useless theory for fun, and the ability to rescue me from endless tedious and unreliable hacking/patching every once in a while.

You are probably happier to deal with the tedium, and occasional blowing up of your software at runtime (Python, I am looking at you!)---in exchange for not having to waste all your time on CS theory.

The difference between a milkman and a programmer is that a programmer can build her own little robots to do all the tedious task for her. (And in most cases, by `robots' I mean little software tools, and not so much any hardware.)

The milkman can come up with some ingenious things too, eg a better route, or perhaps a particularly clever way to `tetris' the bottles and crates in the car---but it's not a core part of his job.

In contrast to the sibling commenters, I am happy about every milkman-programmer there is. That means less competition for my own breed of skills.

Right, but you could have done the same work remotely (fully remote) for Mapillary.com, which is using crowdsourced outdoor images to perform photogrammetry for 3D representation through their public site [1], as well as deep machine learning to tag the images for consumption by self-driving vehicles teams. Same work as HERE, but without having to be in Chicago.

No point in me ever sticking out a Chicago winter ever again. Challenging, exciting work isn't geographically constrained there.

* I admit this moves the goal posts a bit when I said there is no exciting work going on in Chicago. I never even knew HERE was in CHI doing that sort of work. I hope they consider remote workers in the future. C'est la vie.

My beef with Mapillary is that their crowdsourced imaging license is too restrictive compared to the competing OpenStreetView project.

> Keep in mind many of the people who voted in Trump also voted in Obama.

Evidence that this meets any reasonable definition of many voters? Even in the states that flipped, the numbers aren't such that mathematically many (or even any) voters need to have switched that direction. There's probably some, but I haven't seen any indictation in any source that suggests substantial numbers.
The very fact you can buy $0.1 watch(heh) battery that would operate said potential sensor for _two years_ while being smaller makes this startup irrelevant.
What's your evidence of him being a racist?

I feel like this exact attitude of shouting "racist!" whenever something doesn't go your way is what drove white men and women away from the left. I've been left-leaning my whole life, and the last few years have been disappointing, I no longer associate myself with the left, at least the American flavor of it.
[I] would love to see all of these costs unbundled, so that we each pay only for what we use.

If you don't like subsidies, why make such a show of arguing in favor of this subsidy? (Sure, from a particular idiosyncratic point of view, you aren't so arguing, but you've deliberately left that quite ambiguous...)
Just some anecdotal about my team at Google. I definitely do night shifts (we do 1 week long rotations), but with a 30-minute SLA on responding to pages. I've had bad nights where my first page happens at 11pm, then they keep going until 4am. The better part is that we are oncall once a quarter or so (12 people on the rotation).

The thing is, there is basically a waiting list to join the rotation. Compensation is nice for those that are motivated by it. But it also exposes you to a lot of the infrastructure that you normally don't deal with (so it's a great way to learn).

We have a higher-up-the-stack SRE team that does 12-hour shifts so it's not as bad for them. They handle the larger scale issues that are beyond job specific issues (ex: datacenter issues).

I can understand this sucking if you are on a small engineering team where you can't do things like this (I've got friends at companies that employ < 10 developers, I've heard the stories). I guess I wasn't thinking about it for smaller eng teams where the number of people available to support the product isn't there.
My point exactly. :)
I'm not a doctor but just had a loved one die of cancer, and what the parent has said is correct from what I learned. Here is a breast cancer survival breakdown by stage:

http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/type/breast-can...

Stage 1 they do pretty much exactly what you propose: lumpectomy (take out the tumor), radiation (zap tumor cells in a localized way) and chemo (poison yourself, but with a poison that especially likes to kill tumor cells). The survival rate after 5 years is 99%.

By contrast you have Stage 4 with a survival rate of 15% after 5 years. This is when the cancer has metastasized. This basically means the cancer isn't just in that body part (in my link, the breast), it's all over the body. For my loved one there were many many tumors on the lungs, kidney, liver, and tailbone. Even worse, it's in the blood, which means even if you could remove all these tumors (and put your body through horrible trauma to do so), they would still come back. At this point you don't cure the disease, you treat it and hope for the best. There are many many different types of treatment. Some won't work for a specific person, some will, but only for awhile, and if you're very lucky some may cure the person, but there are no guarantees and doctors play a bit of a guessing game.

Although there are many different types of cancer, in these later stages there are very few ways a person dies. The cancer breeds in places with high cell turnover in mission critical organs (lungs, kindneys, liver) and you die.
China Pumps the Brakes on U.S. Dealmaking After Trump Win
IIRC (8+ years ago), athenahealth was very open with internal data, as part of building an internal culture of honesty and trust. The Exec team walked the walk and showed us very detailed financial info during all-hands.
Your arguments are internally inconsistent. Up one level, you argue that newcomers should adapt to the norms of different cultures, rather than expecting everybody to conform to their own expectations (fine). rpcastanga points out that Linus is behaving according to the norms of the linux community culture, and by your own argument newcomers should adapt to that culture rather than demanding Linus conform to "professional IT culture". You then turn around and complain about the fallacy of "if enough people do it, it therefore is a good idea". See the contradiction?

As far as I can tell you have not successfully argued that Linus / the linux community have no norm of respect. Other commenters have pointed out that the community does in fact have norms of respect, but that those norms include a clause along the lines of "if you bullshit and command a position where you are expected to know better, you may be bluntly called out on it".
My general rule (I don't remember where I picked it up. Maybe the Chicago Manual of Style?) is that the verb form is that the hyphenated or single-word form is the noun or adjective, and the unhyphenated form is the verb.

- He will log in to the system.

- What's your login?

- Please sign in.

- That's the sign-in table over there.

Along these lines, does the button/link describe the action (click the button to log in) or the type of button (the login button).

The question of whether to to use sign in or log in is separate.

I go back and forth on prescriptivist vs descriptivist versions of language, though at the end of the day, languages that are in use change. I think it makes sense to create the equivalent of a stylebook for a publication or site so that there's consistent usage (prescriptivist), but understand that there are going to be inconsistencies across the use of language as a whole (descriptivist).

Ask HN: Best tool to visualize spread of a news article across the blogosphere?
I concur - quit Facebook 6 years ago and that was one of the reasons for me.

Apparently though this approach is contributing less to "engagement" of users - cue Twitter and its loyal user base vs majority seemingly not caring much. As per the article: that unpleasant feeling when confronted with different opinions/worldviews maybe really doesn't "sell" as well. Zuckerberg does a better job creating shareholder value (maybe) but I'm still a much bigger fan of Dorsey and his service.

I like to challenge myself and follow all kinds of people, even though those tweets often do annoy me - a practice in tolerance - why not?
As opposed to FPTP, which is almost always demonstrably worse and forces gaming the system by its nature. You can very seldom vote for who you actually want.

So maybe STV/IRV are bad, but they can't be worse than what we have now...unless you favor predictability over representation.

> People need to understand that the electoral college is working as designed.

The electoral college was indeed intended to ensure representation for all of the states, but it is definitely not working the way it was originally designed.

The original design assumed that the voters would vote for electors by name (i.e. the electors' names would be on the ballot, not the candidates' names), and the chosen electors would exercise independent judgment and vote for the candidate they thought would be the best president. We know this is the original intention, because the people who designed the electoral college wrote about this at length.

When some states started putting the names of the presidential candidates on the ballots instead of the names of the electors, James Madison and the other people who designed the electoral college were very unhappy about it. They felt so strongly about it that they proposed amending the constitution to require that ballots contain the electors' names rather than the candidates' names.

When electors are bound to vote for a certain candidate, it's clear that the electoral college is not working as it was originally designed.

What to Do with a Millennial Employee That's Bored at Work
In principle it can be done, of course, but it wouldn't be economical. The abrasive sludge that accumulates in the bottom of the machine is full of large and small bits of various different materials, which complicates filtering. Even if you only cut a single material, you end up with significant amounts of abraded metal from the machine parts (slats, fittings, clamps, etc.). You would also have to spend a significant amount of energy evaporating and drying the sludge.

In any case, the main problem is that the abrasive garnet particles become decidedly less abrasive once they've been smashed into a piece of steel at 75000psi. Think of it like one of those tumblers you use to smooth and polish stones to make them pretty.

EDIT: As someone else mentioned, it's also a QC issue. Even with brand new abrasive, you sometimes get the tiniest bit of something the wrong size or weight and the solenoid feeder gets jammed and has to be take apart. Recycled sand and who knows what else would be a nightmare. Waterjets are enough work to keep running as it stands ;-)

Your argument reminds me of one brought up in the P vs NP debate: what if we find that indeed P==NP, but the algorithms required take O(n^1000)?

The answer is: in that cause, the convenient shorthand of P ==tractable and NP==intractable breaks down, and we have to come up with a better way to formalize this informal distinction we care about.

However in practice, algorithms with running times in P usually have small exponents, like O(n^4) or so.

To come back to GDP: yes, it would be weird if California would get all the nations GDP. In practice this doesn't happen---but if it ever did, we'd need a new measure to correlates with all the good things we actually care about.

Progress Lost Issue on Dragon City Game
"Too many websites have chosen redaction incorrectly"

I purchased a Symantec cert from ssls.com for one of my sites. I wasn't given the option of redacting anything.. yet I'm seeing this error with Chrome 53 in Linux. (I also have Chrome 54 on another computer, and it's working fine).

There are clearly other ways of ending up with a certificate that triggers this.
The larger the effect of disenfranchisement via the electoral college is (and therefore, the less effective democratic participation is I resolving the concerns of the people it underrepresents), the greater the likelihood that it causes a crisis which gets resolved by means other than peaceful democratic participation.
I think the problem is not that they have a place for the bad/ugly code, but that Nautilus runs that code on any file it can with no sandboxing.

Side (probably useless) note: I think majority of people ARE paying for support because it IS open source. You don't pay for support for commercial software, because that is included in the sticker price.
I think you statement is true when people tried to follow MVVM with a religious zeal. In my experience WPF/MVVM worked far better for people who took a more pragmatic approach to the code behind.

I always found that WPF/MVVM made the 90% use case really easy, and the 10% use case ridiculously hard. So I usually used MVVM for the 90% case, and the code behind for 10% case. People I know who shared this philosophy with me had a lot more luck with WPF then the zealots.
I am assuming we are having this discussion on a more elevated level that obvious absurdities.

But even if you want to go down that road that I am pretty sure that there would be plenty of self correction happening unless you decided to stay isolated from the rest of the world right after you read that. Thats obviously not whats happening at all.

React Native is primarily aimed at writing cross-platform UI code. When it comes to performance critical code, or integrating heavily with native UIs (eg the media streaming abilities of Spotify) it's perfectly fine to drop down to native code. RN provides an easy way to bridge between the JS and these native components.
Can you explain that trick?
Steak can probably be cut without an abrasive.
I think the humans have been dividing themselves up into tribes for a long time. While technology isn't completely blameless, Technology does provide another avenue where humans establish and patrol boundaries via social cues. And those cues can maybe be magnified by tech and exploited by political parties on both sides.

I found this podcast particularly interesting (though maybe not 100% correct), but it discusses interesting urban/rural social and cultural boundaries. And I think it's fairly perceptive in the observation that completely unrelated political issues are bound together simply because they happened to fall on different sides of that cultural divide. I think that divide had formed long before the internet and certainly social media.

It was also recorded just before the election which additionally makes for some prophetic elements.

No solution. Non-retina users should carefully commit :(

I don't think I understand the problem. Nothing is stopping you from rendering just one of the view controllers alone?

I'm doing more and more in code nowadays, including constraints that are also rendered in IB. Makes it easier to change things like ratios or heights all across the app.

Using gpm=(hp x 1715 x efficiency)/psi and allowing for 90% pump efficiency along with max 1.93 hp continuous from a 15A 120VAC receptacle, we can simplify the pumping-water-with-a-North-American-receptacle equation to gpm=3000/psi. So 10k psi outputs only 0.3 gpm, 3000psi outputs 1gpm, and 2000psi spits out 1.5 gpm (the latter of which matches the output from the top electric pressure washers).

I would not compare a fancy NN algorithm to Bicubic interpolation, even as an example. Bicubic sucks. If someone really wants to get a decent high-res upscale of an image via "conventional" means (like GIMP) they would probably use something like Lanczos algorithm for upscaling -> Anthropomorphic smoothing for denoise -> unnsharp mask for clarity. And that's a simple pipeline, you can go even fanciers with masks, layers and edge-detection kernels.
I might be. I work at a well established and funded "startup" with the same benefits as the big company I came from, but with a bunch more perks.

I see a lot of replies insisting that big companies have the same perks as startups plus the standard benefits, and that's great. It makes happy for the legions of employees working there (and me if I end up back there someday). Our experiences are anecdotal, so I wonder if this is actually a widespread thing at large companies. I doubt it, but I hope I'm wrong.
