How long does that have to last for though? 1,000 years?

Until it stops being a clear and present danger to people of color.

Also, why is it so hard for you to understand that everyone doesn't agree with you on this and there are plenty of good reasons for that?

There are reasons, I would argue most are not "good". Most are based on an embarrassing lack of empathy on the part of white folks.

Oh boohoo.

Oh, the irony of making fun of people of color for feeling marginalized in a thread where white people are freaking out over a tweet. PoC should stop being so sensitive? Let's have white people get to the front of the bus for that trip.

People of every race are free to point out Twitters double-standard and Twitter is free to ban them.

And, I'm free to make fun of my fellow white people for being so sensitive to any perceived slight while they're loudly telling black folks to shut up already about racism.
Funnily enough in The Netherlands there's an aversion to curtains, to the point where people decorate the interior of their houses next to the window as some sort of diorama.

what good will that do if the suspect is using encryption. thats the whole point!
> Running away is counter productive politically

I agree with the gist of your post, but Sometimes the winning move is not to play. And if your safety is on the line, your life in jeopardy, or if proposed changes to government will soon put your life in jeopardy, "running away" is clearly the best move. Survival is far more important than achieving a political goal.

I'm of the mind that in 2016 we should be well beyond "regressing" to the 1800s as a society (but where I see "regress", some fascists see "progress" I guess....). If people have become disillusioned toward the fact that they will never change the hearts of fascists and bigots, I wouldn't blame them for leaving.

This project is motivated by my desire to tailor a news feed that finds pieces I think are worth reading, those that prioritize storytelling and the weaving of ideas. No day-to-day breaking news or clickbait. I thought the HN community would find the article curation of interest.

On the technical side, I used this project to play around with scikit-learn for machine learning and NLTK for NLP. Also, BeautifulSoup is awesome.

I'm aware this site does not conform to the ideal of progressive enhancement -- I'm learning server-side rendering :) Please be kind.
It will be interesting to see, over the next four years, if this insanely hyperbolic overreaction to as mundane a series of events as a Republican calling for increased scrutiny on immigration will actually end up bringing about the events they're pretending they actually believe are imminent.
"red flag" has a pretty strong connotation of "worth consideration all on its own".

Like in your example, I bet recent association with known drug traffickers is so much of a stronger signal that looking at encryption or felony history is basically worthless. Associating with known criminals is worthy of the label 'red flag'.
Yep, agreed; i could not have said this better myself! +1
I've seen this before but the edges join together cleanly: one of the edges "merges" (like a freeway on-ramp) with the other edge.

In the demo on the front page, there's clearly a pseudo-node that the edges stop at, and it's jarring.

Browsers do have mechanisms for filtering out known phishing (or malware) sites (e.g. Google's Safe Browsing (used by Chrome, Firefox and (IIRC) Safari), Microsoft's SmartScreen). Guessing based on the domain (without having any actual phishing reports or something like that) would probably lead to tons of false positives, which would both annoy users and desensitize them, so most people would click through the warning.

EV certificates can be a solution for some cases - knowing that "Apple, Inc. [US]" is actually operating the site you're looking at is worth something - but it isn't particularly meaningful in other cases - knowing that "CheapOAir, Ltd. [US]" actually operates "CheapOAir.com" doesn't mean much, they could still scam you.

So does every left-leaning outlet.

See what I did there?
Possibly not the best use of the term, but I believe you will find from legal precedent it has been used almost exclusively to address mistreatment of people of color. White folks so rarely experience racism in the US, and it so rarely holds any power when they do experience it, that the law and courts pretty much never have to step in on behalf of white people's rights. The right of white folks to exist is the default. It occasionally takes some legal nudging for people of color to experience the world similarly.
Terrible story.

A complete logic must take into account individual preferences, not merely species survival.

The opportunity costs towards an individual to willingly shift and adapt to climate change is fairly high -- until Pigovian taxes or some such are implemented the adoption rate will be small for prevention. We're likely in the stage now where policies around adaption need to be crafted and planned.
This is an honest question. If you think the questions are unfair, or off base, or phrased poorly, I'd appreciate a comment.
Yea they are actually.

I don't care about other providers I want my old gmail back.
Google isn't just Gmail and Youtube anymore though. Maybe it was 5-10 years ago, but now there are dozens of products. Music, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Android.

All of those require an account. You're basically implying that they should have a separate account for every one of their services, which makes absolutely no sense...

Then, back when there are just two things, merging them into one was maybe not so good of a decision, but at this point, having a single account makes much more sense from a user experience point of view.

it makes its money by selling stories and perspectives in the form of media narrative to its audience.

That's less and less the case as their revenues are collapsing. Facebook being the gatekeeper is one of their ways of not being defeated by citizen journalism.

I'm surprised by the points 1 and 3.

I started a company 2 months ago as solo founder and I work everyday on the product (a SaaS for small/mid companies). I really have no free time to do marketing yet or promote my idea. I just focus on having a MVP.

1. "Decline invitations from VCs to drink a coffee"

I've never received any attention from a VC, like probably most founders when they started their first company. It seems to me inappropriate to suggest this in "first point" of "how to start a company". Or maybe it's common in SV?

3. "Hire awesome people"

It would be really great but I can't even pay an intern.

Short of having a common / private repo (which is good advice for many other reasons), you can add it directly to the project so that it comes bundled with your source. This has the disadvantage of adding the JAR files to your source (which fattens things) but it has the advantage of working out of the box without any special config on a new developer's machine.

Here's a nice article explaining how to do it: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/local-maven-dependenci...

I credit my never having had typing-related stress with being a self-taught typist. My hands rest naturally with wrists straight, unlike "home row" position which would have the wrists bent, and there are several keys which I type with either hand.

Yeah, let's be honest, if you're running a scheme like this, you probably have a hunch that it may not be the most legal thing ever... why the hell would you use your real account with all your information instead of making a new dummy account?

They probably assumed it was a bunch of fake account and deleted them all in one big swoop, but once they realized a few of them were real, they restored them...

Just the media blowing things out of proportion, and for some reason everyone's defending these people who were doing something clearly very shady and wrong.

I do agree though that the thought of losing access to all your data is scary, and people should definitely do takeout and be more conscious about it, but in this case specifically, it was hardly Google's fault.

Google is at the end of the day a service, and if you go on their lawn and start shitting all over it, what do you expect will happen?
Yeah, it would need to reference package source files from Linux for code complete to properly work.

Down voted. I don't think this is a constructive question. Encryption wasn't even a minor policy stance of the 4 most major parties' nominees for president.

It's not very reasonable to <strike>blame</strike> pointedly question voters for actions their candidate didn't take a stance on.

[edit], thought better of using the word 'blame'. It's not an accurate characterization, but didn't want to erase the history of having initially chosen that word either.

It would be newsworthy if he didn't support expanding intelligence community powers...

Considering it was Hillary's core national security position, listed on her website, to do an "intelligence surge" and expanding the collection of data this is exactly what we could have expected from that administration as well.

It'd do the world a service if this was the narrative/reality that was being disseminated by the media rather than pretending it was possible the change would come from within the existing IC community or national security establishment. And as much as Trump has promoted 'draining the swamp' and talked of being anti-establishment, this never seemed at all about to include curtailing the current defense community.

Not really. I'm saying that it's one of many factors, some typically benign (like "gun owner"), and some not benign ("has a brother fighting for IS in Syria"). To do a better job at intelligence, our government needs to look at these holistically.

My argument also extends to things like the TSA. We all like to complain about having to wait in line for security at the airport. Why can't they do better threat assessment? Well, it needs a holistic approach. Why should I, chrissnell, an officer in the Army Reserve, with no criminal record whatsoever, be subjected anything more than a magnetometer at the airport? If the TSA would look at my profile holistically, they would see that I am not a significant threat and that should mean that I would be able to go on my way without interference.

I didn't see it mentioned but how do they survive? I am assuming that the mining is like freelance work and they sell whatever they find...but to who? The way it read this is a remote place, where do they get food (I assume not much grows in that terrain)[0]?

Even if people worked with other residents for favors/barters instead of money the food thing much be ridiculously expensive to import all of it.

I can imagine hitting that one jackpot find but at the same time not getting one seems like it would be impossible to survive for long.

Verizon has the most spectrum in NYC. For practical purposes this combination in the NYC market is great.
I don't believe they have in any way violated the letter or even spirit of the BSD license. It's extremely liberal, and should be.

I think it's pretty poor behavior from a company that's SO involved in intellectual property rights to just take something as valuable as a complete kernel and userland (not GUI) and then just sweep it under the carpet because no laws require them to do otherwise.

I traded opals for a while, but my supply was boulder opals from around Quilpie in Queensland. Not underground like Coober Pedy and White Cliffs, but still not a whole lot there![1]

One of the best introductory books about opals is Opal Identification & Value by Paul B. Downing. It's a few years old now (latest version 2002, first published 1992), but really does cover all the basics of different types and their value very well.

Will happily defer to you if you're a lawyer, but no one stopped anyone from transferring a device. An associated service was stopped, and I'm fairly certain that's allowed.

Not to pick on you specifically, but "Europe" is a pretty big place. The countries are all quite different from one another with different requirements and attitudes, etc. Your best bet, in my opinion, as someone from the States who lives and works in Spain and has no formal CS education -- save up, research the country you like, go there on a Schengen visa, find jobs and interview in person and stay there. You got 90 days on a Schengen visa. If you have experience in your field, you can find a job. That's how you get it done.
but do you really control your domain? if somebody hacks into your registrar or forges your signature or something and transfers it to themselves, they would get your email, and it might be very difficult for you to get it back. Or maybe I am being too paranoid about this and it's less likely that your domain gets taken from you compared to your mail provider deciding to terminate you.

You can also do something like using fastmail, where you don't control your domain, but being a paying customer you do have somebody to call if there are issues
Sue them under wiretapping laws to release the information and redirect the emails to a domain you control. It is a federal crime to interfere with communications.

They reversed because they got a ton of bad press for it. They've been banning accounts with no recourse for years now, and will continue to do so until people speak out loudly enough against it. Maybe then at least they could allow those banned to export their data.
If someone wants to use, say, LuaJIT to work on the $100k bounty for a 10x speedup of the Tcl language, they should go right ahead; prove that you can do it and claim the cash.

I got an RSI injury on my left hand and was unable to type normally for a few years. I went so far as to learn Dvorak RH which, even though I got reasonably good at it after a couple of years, was still crappy for programming.

After a very dark period of taking jobs that required less typing (Kafkaesque jobs at mega-corps involving mostly fixing other people's bugs), I'm better now because of:

1) Using an Apple keyboard, which even though it doesn't look ergonomic, the reduced key travel has helped immensely.
2) Using JetBrains' IDEs instead of vim. If you are a bash/vim/tmux (or equivalent) user like I was, try coding in your favorite language in a JetBrains IDE. Automated refactoring and code completion are your friends.
3) Try drinking red wine. The resveratrol in red wine is a natural anti-inflammatory.

Might also be worth using a very long (1 week - 1 month?) TTL for your DNS MX records. This is no guarantee but it should buy you some extra time over the default which could be only an hour or so.
So you're upset because they had a system that automatically banned people intentionally trying to break their system by running a massive illegal reselling scheme? These people were far from being innocent little bystanders who were hit collaterally. Yet, Google still pardoned them and restored their account EVEN when what they did was clearly not only against the ToS but actually probably against the law too.

Yes, I agree it's a scary thought, I will automatically takeout my data and keep personal backups, but let's be honest here, those people in my opinion very well deserved what they got. You can't shit on someone's lawn and expect them to welcome you in their house.
And amongst the options of ways to intervene which ones to choose? Some of which are probably mutually exclusive.
Now its dangerous?

Its been "dangerous" for decades, its really more about people paying attention now and people putting more and more things on the internet that shouldn't be there.
