> had they not been complete dullards

Even if they were dullards, I'd prefer them to people who have shown tendencies to destroy countries. I think I saw this joke on 4chan: if Gary Johnson does not know where Aleppo is, that's one less place for him to bomb.

> Wehre we seem to disagree is that you believe that Hillary is worse than Donald.

Well, one of them is an egomaniac, talks garbage, has misbehaved with people, and has run shady charities and a university. The other one has received millions of dollars from banks and foreign powers, and has demonstrated that she will say exactly what her audience wants to hear. Not only has she threatened to up the ante against Syria, she has shown she can deliver, in Libya. I think the worst-case difference we are looking at here is a history of misdemeanor and fraud vs a history of fraud and felony. I prefer (peaceful) dullards to these.

> Wikipedia isn't as biased as you'd like to think.

Depends of the topic, I guess. Politifact is biased, and my recommenation for using both resources is the same.
You are buying into the author's conflicted statements and continuing to spread the dissonance. Dissonance is what got us into this stupid Trump situation. I'm telling you that you can't tell someone who says they are paid to write code they aren't paid to write code and then rationalize some weak argument why you are "right". You aren't right because op is telling you they are paid to write code. All that matters is that "op" is "writing" "code" because they said they were. You don't get to say if they are or not, and the author doesn't get to either!

It's completely asinine and blaming to speak for others actions. Stop doing it. It's ruining this place. <-- This last part is a blanket blaming statement speaking for all others and I really shouldn't say it.

P.S. I've flagged the article given it's making "you" statements.

That's a good point. He's anti-establishment which currently makes him very popular with the alt-right since they can rally around his conspiracy theories about democrats/Israel/whatever else they don't like. So not self-described alt-right but someone who has been lumped into that pile due to some of his views over the last few years.

Unrelated but I have a sneaking suspicion the alt-right will break with him anyway as soon as he starts focusing more and more on conspiracies about Trump.

> It seemed like the best idea was to let him try and learn why that was a bad idea

This is exactly why it's a good idea to try your own implementations. You get intimately familiar with the problem. You understand the trade-offs, corner cases, api design, etc. far better that way. And there might be a slight chance that you come up with a better solution.

I've heard that Feynman had a motta something like "If I can't build it, I can't claim to understand it."

Also, I like the idea of apprenticeships. At some point our academic culture seems to have shifted from liberal education to some kind of quasi-vocational preparation. This is probably in response to the death of apprenticeships when we started requiring a bachelor's degree for entry level professional jobs.
I think the main point the article makes, and maybe I'm willing to come around on it, is that the term 'overt racism' when referring to Trump is maybe exaggerated. Maybe it is 'only' 'subtle racism', while 'surrounding himself with open racists'.

But another issue that this article completely ignores is the subtle sexism that permeated the Trump campaign. Catch phrases like 'Trump that Bitch'; or when Guiliani says

"Don’t you think a man who has this kind of economic genius is a lot better for the United States than a woman, and the only thing she’s ever produced is a lot of work for the FBI checking out her emails?"

Note this was distorted by people on the left to show that Guiliani is openly sexist by ending the quote after 'woman', and pretending it didn't continue. But as a full statement, this juxtaposition of man and woman, one glorified and the other dismissed, phrased as a rhetorical question, actually reads pretty sexist to me.

I also tend to think the alt-right movement much bigger than the 50K that the author claims. It's not very monolithic, there are many related off-shoots. For example, the associated /r/TheRedPill has 170K members, and that's just one of them.
I don't think this should have been flagged -- it's tackling a controversial issue, sure, but in a well-reasoned and non-inflammatory way. It seems similar in topic to a lot of articles that were showing up here before the election. I'm not sure whether the plan is just to flag all political opinion pieces now so we can get back to talking about tech. It seems like it would be better just to let the community decide.

I definitely don't want to start a "flagging this article is censorship!!" flamewar, I'm just curious about the rationale. And even though I've been posting here for a while I'm still relatively new and don't know all the rules and conventions. This is the first flagged article that I found interesting and worthwhile. (In fact I read the article, then went back to read the comments here, and had trouble finding it again because it was flagged!)

Not sure why we are suddenly discussing what I propose instead.

All I am saying is that it's easy to forget that real people are effected by progress and that the narrative that we all benefit is kind of disingenuous from that perspective and I believe we need to think harder on what to do about that because it's only going to increase.

My brother was killed by a careless driver.

When I read your post I want to reach through the internet and strangle you.
I am a programming addict since early teenage years. I like writing code. But I also like that code to do something fun or useful.

One time, it came the day I was supposed to enter the job market. So I looked at what companies - around me and worldwide - are doing, I read the stuff about "solving business problems" instead of "just writing code"... and I realized that if I were to really care about this, I would be unemployable. Because most of the "business needs" in our industry are trivial bullshit stuff that's at best neutral (more often harmful) to society, and only exists to make money for some entrepreneur. I don't give a shit, and will never give a shit about those problems. So - through many years of depression and burnout - I learned to ignore most of the business goals and focus on doing my part the best I can.

For example, right now I'm paid for developing an application that shouldn't really exist in the first place, and makes little sense to anyone - not to developers, not to people who will end up uing it - except the management. But well, management decides. So if I'm making this application anyway, I'm focusing on making it as useful as possible. Management asks for features. I do the ones that make sense and politely suggest changes in the ones that are idiotic. They're happy. I'm paid. When they're not looking, I'm venting out on HackerNews.

--

So yeah, to people constantly writing about focusing on delivering business values: please tell me how to look for values worth delivering, in the sea of moral bankrupcy the current job market is.
What's crazy about the Veyron isn't that it's cheaper to ship it than to drive it. It's that it's cheaper to ship it and fly there on your private jet than to drive it. Your car needs to be pretty expensive to operate for that to be a net win.

Maybe there are still "a lot" of cars like that in the realm of million-dollar supercars. But I think it qualifies as crazy when the context is a family sedan that's fairly cheap to operate.

I don't know whether they do, but the data still is on your device, so if you change your password, your phone can overwrite the version in the cloud with a newly encrypted one.

Using Apple ID and password is (for the typical user) fairly weak encryption, though. That could be improved by having your devices exchange encryption keys.
You're still missing the point. It is a discriminatory agenda and he is appointing abhorrent people to his staff. I personally find most of Trump's agenda repulsive. I'm not denying this, neither is the article.

At the core of these issues you'll find people who are being sold solutions to a problem they personally have, regardless of the problem being valid. Labeling those issues and people as racist does nothing to help, and it's certainly not a solution. Especially when the labeling is wrong - I know a lot of trump supporters who want nothing to do with any of the discriminatory bullshit, yet people call them racist as soon as they speak out. This is a real problem, it's not something that's happening to a couple of guys out of 300 millions.
Honestly, I feel like if you start trying to game the system with some shady practices, you should be ready for eventualities like this. That's almost as careless as putting your real info up on an .onion site, and almost exactly like torrenting without any kind of proxy. I hope they get off with a warning, but these people were up to some shenanigans.
It's hilarious that they'd be jerks to their target market, the pro user. It's like they licked their finger, and are poking the customer in the eyeball, smiling, and saying, "please upgrade!"

> But even lower accelerations will glue you to the seat because gravity acceleration affects every part of your body. Where as the car grabs you by the butt and yanks you forward.

The feeling of weight we associate with gravity is not distinguishable from elevator-style or car-style acceleration (not counting vibrations; or tiny gradients in the field). You don't feel gravity gluing you to the ground, you feel the ground continuously shoving you skyward to stop the free fall.

I don't know of any relevant metrics at all for this sort of thing :-) What we did was mostly review the log of their thinking as they went, then talk to them more to work out if they think like a sysadmin. We want sysadmins who can think, and that's the opposite of a process susceptible to Taylorisation.

Note that in my example, I don't expect them to solve all the problems. I do expect them to have a good try at it, doing it as an open book test with Google to hand. (Open book tests are always hard.)
I think that it is the natural state of trying to build out a completely new product line (electric cars). They have to build out basically all of the infrastructure themselves at first (quality charging stations, power production to keep the utilities from overcharging their customers, batteries to vastly increase the supply, etc).

As the market matures, some of these businesses might be spun off.

One of my interview questions is if they prefer manual or automatic transmission. Most of our rockstars drive manual.
And yet while fake news is prevalent on Facebook, I think the big lesson we all should have learned this election cycle is that mainstream media peddles fake news as well. We learned most major media outlets were in the pocket of the HRC campaign from the beginning of the primaries onward. Major media outlets would happily broadcast an empty podium where Trump was waiting to speak for hours during the primaries during primetime while other candidates were giving passionate speeches to a room of cameras which were turned off. News anchors and pundits were essentially stenographers for the HRC campaign team. The news media televised 'debates' in which one candidate was leaked the questions early. On facebook you get fake news from your little bubble of friends, but if you turn on the news on TV or open the New York Times or Washington Post you get fake news as well, news curated by a tiny group of elites who have their own bias -- generally liberal, but first and foremost in favor of continuing the status quo, which is responsible for their positions of respect and power. I'm more likely to get a facebook post from a different viewpoint that I am reading/watching corporate media. I have mainstream liberal and conservative, pro-trump, pro-sanders, pro-johnson, and pro-stein Facebook friends. The media lied constantly this cycle, sometimes blatantly, sometimes not so much, and much more important than the statement of actual facts is curating the facts and subjects you choose to cover -- they shape the zeitgeist. If you run a hundred pieces called "Does Trump support the KKK?" it doesn't really matter that the answer to that question is factually "no". http://fair.org/home/washington-post-ran-16-negative-stories...

John Oliver split from doing opinionated, issue-oriented informational pieces with plenty of research to hackish hit pieces near the end of the cycle. Look at what he said about third parties: instead of bringing thoughtful attention to an often-dismissed issue, his sole purpose was to destroy support for third party candidates without regard for fairness, honesty, or truth and it was pretty clear to anyone who'd actually looked at them honestly before watching it.

If you ask any Sanders supporter (or Trump supporter I'd imagine) what they learned this cycle, it's that corporate media is not honest, not objective, and not to be trusted or even given the benefit of the doubt. Even NPR lied through their teeth.

I agree fake news on facebook is bad. But I'm not sure fake news from other sources is better. I don't know what the solution is.

I simply disagree about higher quality code. One of my junior colleagues once did a "let's apply a bunch of resharper recommendations". It was not pretty. Its suggestions are almost always pedantic and puerile that don't improve code quality in any meaningful way, at least in the out-of-the-box config.

It's nice when it picks up some stupidity like an always false condition, but the out-of-the-box instance has so many stupid rules that after turning more and more off it off, I gave up on it.

And this isn't the first time I've given it a go.

The interesting part of this article for me is the estimates for the tiny numbers of actual participation in Stormfront/kkk etc. Says nothing either way of course about more broad but lower-intensity attitudes nor of T's choices of associates and advisors.

Otherwise he makes a good point about some over-hyping of the racist tropes, but doesn't ultimately support his argument IMO. Other comments here have discussed that clearly though.
I agree, unfortunately there was no "honest man"/woman to pick from in the end (Bernie Sanders was eliminated early, and perhaps unfairly).

lolwut. GitLab offers for free most of the stuff GitHub makes you pay for. And GitHub is run by a bunch of SJWs that have gone so far as to remove repos because a comment in the code used the word "retard." And despite being a platform for sharing source that hosts many prominent free software projects, the platform is 100% proprietary closed source. They offer absolutely nothing of value that can't be had better elsewhere.

Note to media companies (and everyone else) talking about security: You have to put security elements in context to say anything reasonable

That means both: 1) Consider your audience, and 2) Do a 'risk analysis' (Meaning figure out where the security issue starts to outweigh the convenience and describe the actual impact of the issue.)

This article (and Forbes') are both severely damaged by a failure to do either. Without stating the contexts where this call logging is a problem, and who it is likely to affect you end up writing alarmist nonsense- especially when the audience is the general public.

I highly recommend everyone learns to drive a manual before it becomes a dead art, it's truly a lot more fun and engaging experience.

That being said there's obvious cause for the shift to all-automatic, just like we'll all be using self-driving cars not long in the future.

However what concerns me is that automatic transmissions are not only more expensive in general, but harder to maintain / less reliable. That a trend of laziness has created this demand, to the point where 97% of US consumers choose to pay more to automate the process I find so enjoyable.

To be fair a majority use case for driving is daily commute, and it's not nearly as fun to drive a manual in heavy traffic as it is to cruise windy roads on the weekend.
