I was not suggesting that they be so explicit about it, but the VCs could have a general policy that they will always back founders in their next venture if the founders create a profitable company. The founders knowing this will kill or hand over the zombies themselves.
FHIR is great. It's also a pretty complex data structure, but we use it internally and are generally happy with it. It has flaws, notably that it's not always clear what parameters to set on the resource (for example there are a bunch of different date fields that could mean similar things and could be set or not set depending on the implementation), but having a uniform data interchange format is pretty great for open source medical informatics.
Interesting that people are looking forward to racism.
Boy is this ever true. I had an early MVP of my product and sent it around to 3 or 4 of my geek/techie friends and asked for feedback. Not sure why, but I expected some in depth feedback (ex. This link isn't working, have you considered this layout, why do you have this paragraph etc). Instead it was "Wow - looks great man". Perhaps I should have asked for specific feedback (ex. What do you think of the layout? Can you navigate the site easily?). Maybe because I am in the startup field and know what it's like, but if I'm ever asked to give feedback, it's often more than they were looking for.
Why it awful? As an archive, seems decent.
I implemented Odoo ERP's MRP capability for a supply chain stretching from Norway to Shenzen. It worked really good and we god transparency in our manufacturing process. We spent a lot of energy in making our production staff update the ERP as each phase of production was finalized, but in the end it was highly worth it. End result? 0 spreadsheets, almost maximum transparency. Improved Quality Process in production, more collaboration et cetera.

We also got a lot of value out of the other modules that almost magically comes out of the box :).

Completely unrelated to the ERP of course, the company is now out of business, but the website still remains http://bergesolutions.com
Metaprogramming is different than compile time programming. I agree with templates being abused as a compile time programming language but they are used as Metaprogramming just fine (well, or not but that's their primary usage)

So my view for Snowden is that this is actually worse than what you're saying.

Snowden should fear for his life at this point. It's not enough to live in Russia with the weird Bro-ness that Putin and Trump have come to have of late [1]. That means chance for extradition goes up.

Let's say Snowden goes into hiding. What does that mean for a Law and Order type to run the CIA with potentially limited government oversight [2]?

Keep in mind the CIA can kill terrorists who are US Citizens abroad and has been given that permission since Bush 43. [3]

The question then just remains is Snowden a terrorist? It's probably not harder to justify than some might think.

I'm not sure why you chose to mock your unvle after your first paragraph. Am I missing your /s tag or are you missing the irony

.. of calling your uncle your white uncle. why is that so important to have it his main attribute?

.. of emphasizing those people - was that really his emphasis or is it rather you who turns around his words into something he didn't say?

.. of not trying to understand his point, rather to immediately accuse him of bigotry. I read it as a dissatisfaction with economical migration when already many domestic people (who have basically a lot of sunken cost in this society) are left behind. I read his first sentance as an assurance that he doesn't care about race or ethnicity, rather, it's natural in-group vs. out-group thinking. If anyone who does that is a bigot, then boy, everyone is a bigot sometime - and the distinction is meaningless.

So if you weren't sarcastic I suggest rereading the article.
I agree that exercise and sleep are keys, but I do believe chronically cold hands is a serious problem that needed to be remedied.

They need to be broken apart. Don't know about regulation.
RSI is one of those things (ADHD, autism and dyslexia are other examples) that start as a label some scientist puts on a specific set of symptoms that cannot (currently) be linked to a specific condition [1], becomes popular and then get used for a zillion things with more or less the same symptoms (Wikipedia lists edema, tendinosis, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, De Quervain syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, intersection syndrome, epicondylitis, tenosynovitis, radial tunnel syndrome, and focal dystonia as possible conditions underlying RSI)

Since 'RSI' may have many causes, it is unlikely a single treatment will help everybody. This article, in particular, looks like anecdata to me.

Having said that, the suggestions others give to sleep and exercise almost certainly can't hurt and if they may hurt you, you probably already know how fragile your body is.

Exercise breaks during work have the added benefit of introducing breaks. If I had to bet, those breaks are more important for RSI-like symptoms than the exercises themselves.

Might just be a bit too exaggerated, especially about the comparison with taxi. I don't think Uber is great but let's be honest, the taxi system is not great in a lot of places either and taxi drivers in a lot of cases are treated even much worse. In China the simple fact is Uber-like companies have allowed people to earn so much more than under monopolized taxi companies, such that huge swarms of taxi drivers just simply quit their jobs already. Most drivers I talked to are very happy with their income and flexible working hours (with many part-timing), so I'm not sure where the "15-hour-per-day" work applies to. Certainly not what I could see.

Of course, this could also be a result of the short-term boom of this industry, where big players are just investing tons of money. The long-term impact remains to be seen. I predict a lot of drivers will be out of job by then since there're way too many of them currently. But to say "we must preserve this job done by human beings because we don't have universal income yet" is sheer nonsense. I can't believe somebody so proficient with technology could say that. I'm all in for universal income, but for each technological advancement there're bound to be old jobs washed out. Artificially holding them does absolutely no good to progress and people's well-being. Honestly if that's what's been happening throughout the history there would be no computer boom, no RMS at all and he'll certainly be doing something else.

Also, Uber technically doesn't even exist any more in China (sold to its competitor in the form of its shares). Anyways, it's imaginable that some local government tries to contact such companies for data and certain crowd control, but it was unlikely to be something centralized. I really hate the "repressive China" stereotype being emphasized again and again. Remember even the US federal government bought tons of data from FB/Twitter/Instagram etc. to control protesters, so I don't see any difference here.
And this discussion is about setting up systems to automatically monitor/record everything spoken through that megaphone.

Clinton was down over 5M votes compared to even Obama in 2012.

Either the voting machines were hacked, or she did an abysmal job in outreach... her hiring of David Brock (of Correct the Record) to essentially character-assassinate Sanders supporters might have had something to do with her loss - she won the battle then lost the war.

> There are lots of people in the intelligence community that are appalled by domestic surveillance efforts as well.

[citation needed]. I've never heard anyone from the intel community say anything other than that they need more domestic surveillance powers and that we should shut up and stop complaining about the ones in place already.
I certainly fucking hope so. Your optimism is encouraging at least.
> Maybe I am not smart enough, but it's never clear to me what things should be cast in type. Type the one invariant, can't type the other - and the other way around. The choice seems often arbitrary. But it has a huge influence on the overall design.

I find it best to let confidence guide me. If I'm not confident something's right, that's usually a sign I didn't type it enough. If I think I know it already, then it doesn't need more types. It affects the design but it should affect the design, I would say; decisions about which invariants are important are design decisions.

> Is there a good rule for when to use a sum type vs distinct types?

If at some point you have a value that you know (and care) is one particular, well, type, make it a real type. If you only ever have values that could be one or the other and it doesn't matter which they are (or the section where it matters can be reasonably confined to a match block) then a sum type.

> but the choice of what gets to be parent and what gets the child is arbitrary and often turns out super limiting further down the line.

I find this is much less true in an immutable-by-default language. E.g. in the standard circle/ellipse example it becomes completely obvious which is the parent and which is the child.

> Tables on the other hand, supported by light usage of manually coded lookup tables, have been the real game changer for me. When I'm back in a normal imperative language I can be so naturally productive and write efficient programs without relying on black compiler magic. I don't see how most of the invariants in my programs could ever be codified in a practical type system. They are so relational - they involve variables with very diverse lifetimes and expressions depending on dynamic values.

Heh, this is the opposite of my experience. I find tables always confuse me, and are usually a sign that my model needs to have an intermediate entity - like the experience described in http://wiki.c2.com/?WhatIsAnAdvancer
I wonder why they chose ⌘{ and ⌘} instead of ⌘[ and ⌘]. With the later you don't need to hold down SHIFT (at least on US keyboard layout.)
Ask HN: What is the best place to sell a domain?
I have a domain name that is coming up for renewal in the next ~3 months and I can't afford to re-register it. The domain, blockchain.iq, was bought to make an alt-currency version of Bloomberg like site. Idk if it is worth trying to sell it, but it did cost $200 to register it in Iraq and was a hassle. I've never sold a domain before:

- Is it worth it?

- How/Where is the best place to do it?

- Is there any way to guage how valuable it is?

I just want to clarify, I'm not a domain squatter, just broke.
Your rambling was the result of providing context. You can be concise and clear when the reader is already knowledgeable. When that's missing, things get messy (witness any corporate email chain involving more than 3 people or 2 teams).

Lots of folks have resorted to footnotes, which isn't a bad tool at all, but it detracts from the core message Pascal was trying to relay: know your audience, and make sure each word is carefully selected to reinforce your message.
When it all goes smoothly, it's a technical problem that can be solved mechanically or with a schedule that you know by heart after a few months.

If you're curious, please don't hesitate to ask me how often things went smoothly.

I find the attack itself technically plausible, but where's the motivation? Why would someone go to the effort just to get some random personal domain? Sounds a little far-fetched, and I've never heard it happening to a personal domain of a non-VIP. Meanwhile, we know that Gmail accounts get terminated regularly, and appealing is hard-to-impossible.
Yea, I just stopped using alarms unless I'm going to get less than six hours of sleep. Sometimes with six hours I'll set one for six and a half hours from when I'll be sleeping just in case but the vast majority of times I wake up before my alarm anyways. I guess I'm lucky in that I fall asleep quickly the vast majority of the time but when my girlfriends cacophony of noises alarm goes off it is an instantly irritating way to start my day. Just awful.
You don't enshrine traitors who've helped you to take over. You execute them because they have proven they are ready to betray their masters and they'll do it to you when opportune.
Growing up, my family computer was set up with a very specific model of Logitech trackball, the one shaped like a standard mouse with the off-center ball that rests under your fingers, not your thumb.

It's the only trackball of its kind I've ever seen, every other model is either a tiny thumb-ball, or an enormous whole-hand deal.

They stopped making them years ago, and now you can only find them from scalpers on Amazon for upwards of $4-500.

It's frustrating, because I'd love to get back to using a trackball, but every other model seems less comfortable to me than a normal mouse.

Edit: It's this one: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Cordless-Optical-Trackman-US...
I was somewhat unnerved when I heard that -- my reaction being something along the lines of "Uhh, yeah, but who told you that?"

I'm curious how it determines these things, so I'm looking through the unminified JS, trying to understand it.

Now if it were to detect and call out that I was trying to reverse engineer it, that would be truly creepy.

doesn't this cause a problem similar to the "superbugs" epidemic? i.e., the population of malaria-carrying insects takes a big hit, but then the only ones left are the ones who have adapted to survive (found a new food source) and the population builds back up?

IANALE, but I think you can only be pardoned if you've been convicted of something. If you've not even been officially charged (let alone, convicted), what will Obama pardon him for?
You do. The good news is that it's not a lot of components. A good example would be what's going on in DO-178B space that requires strong verification albeit not necessarily formal. They subset things like networking standards then build partitioning and quite-static design into them. Resulting ones still have decent amount of features:

http://www.lynx.com/lcs-lynx-certifiable-protocol-stack/

The minimum I've seen are a few drivers, bootloader, partitioning filesystem/storage, partitioning networking, and language runtime (esp Ada or today Rust). That's not a lot to build given what's already available in FOSS or embedded. More than just a separation kernel but not much more.
> until you stop viewing /r/the_donald as an echo chamber and start viewing it as a staging ground for crowd sourced meme-based advertising that started as paid astroturfing.

Right!

I think there were important psychological differences, perhaps represented by Trump's retort 'Because you'd be in jail' and "I'm with you" in response to "I'm with her". The content doesn't matter but the wordplay does. I don't remember Clinton using his slogan against him or cracking a real joke. With the two examples I've given I feel like she walked straight into them.

This difference also exists with their supporters.

There is a humour element at The Donald (even the name) that I felt was missing from /r/politics.They often were playing caricatures of themselves as an in-joke e.g. copying Trump's mannerisms, making obviously absurd claims "ten feet higher!".

/r/politics was stocked with 'issues' and veryseriousstuff. I don't think the Clinton supporters were deliberately attempting to engage in theatrics beyond the lookatthisoutrage threads. The Donald is filled with outrage threads too but with a side of jesting/in-jokes.
Steve Bannon Interviewed: “It's About Americans Not Getting F–ed Over
I doubt Russia would take kindly the US violating its territorial sovereignty and carrying out a high-profile assassination on a political refugee minutes away from the Kremlin palace. In fact, that is pretty much a sure move for war and an obvious casus belli. If that sounds unlikely to you, please ponder what choices this left the Russian federation with: look weak and feeble, or escalate.

It would also antagonize a lot of countries and almost mechanically create domestic pressure for foreign leaders to take a stand against the US. There is literally no better way to make non-alignment a popular political stance. Not only that, but the second gulf war has already harmed the credibility of the international order that the US and its allies have worked hard to instaurate. The US did not ratify the ICC, ignores UN war laws, operates an alternative detention facility to escape its own domestic civil rights protections, performs extrajudicial killings all around the ME and now take down political opponents abroad. That could very well be the straw that breaks the camel's back. And if it isn't, what comes next should. Not taking a moral stance on either of the things mentioned above, just observing that the increasing dissonance between official US narrative on foreign policy, and its real-world applications can only harm its prestige and credibility.

I can't think of a more terrible move for the USG than murdering Snowden.

tl;dr: The harm has been done already, killing him would only make things worse.

Who are you to judge her priorities? Watching an infant can be brain numbingly tedious, and so can sitting in waiting rooms for hours at a medical office.

Maybe the startup gives her husband a positive distraction to focus on instead of his treatment and it gives them something good to talk about. You have no idea.

A startup might be the perfect antidote to balance out her other duties to her family.

Remember that all people are not equal, some people are in the top 1% of population for energy, or IQ, or organization, or even with a need for sleep. Aka do not attempt to measure this woman against the "norm", she is probably very very capable and can handle everything better than most.

All of us have a unique blend of skills and abilities, and it takes less effort for some of us to fulfill priorities than others.
Why is there absolutely zero focus on the lack of basic security measures that would prevent a large scale breach like this?

The government still doesn't know exactly what data he walked off with. And while you'd think they'd have stepped up security since then, now Harold T. Martin has again walked off with terabytes of secret data. In both cases, these secrets were stolen by contractors, not even full employees.

I have full admin rights to every server at work, but I can't gain access to customer data without tripping access alarms that notify our security team. How is it possible that the NSA has no similar controls? I realize that such controls can be expensive (in direct costs and ongoing operations), but "with great data comes great responsibility", and if there's any database in the country that needs exceptional controls, it's the NSA's database that is much more valuable than any other corporate database.

How many foreign powers have walked off with even more data undetected because they aren't going to publicize it -- they are likely siphoning off data right now, and the NSA has no idea.

Even under Obama, he was looking at life in prison, which is effectively a living death sentence. Personally, I'd rather get the death penalty than spend my remaining years in a federal supermax prison (especially given that Snowden is fairly young).

Putin will give him up in a heartbeat if it curries any favor at all with Trump. Most European governments do not look favorably on what he did either, and wouldn't harbor him anyway - both out of fear of reprisal from the US and fear of encouraging their own Snowden-type incidents. The end of Snowden's freedom is likely near, whether he gets the death penalty or not. It's not the end that many of us would like the see for him, but he did know the penalties well before he did what he did.

Not necessarily. I tried to integrate Google's services with a custom domain once before and the previous owner of the domain had done the same thing and I could not figure out how to dissociate the two. There was no way for me to contact customer support about it, and I eventually gave up trying so that I wouldn't run into exactly this kind of fucked up crap from Google.
