That isn't what he was saying.

He is saying that the 'fact checking sites' are biased.

This is true. It's the old problem of "who guards the guards".

Snopes.com is supposed to be a fact checking site.

Snopes.com recently rated as 'mostly false' a notorious video of a Trump supporter being beaten up and suggested it was primarily about a traffic incident.

The guy who got beaten up actually offered his own testimony of what happened on camera later on. This is not mentioned in the 'fact check'. There is also the fact that his attackers are screaming at him that he is a Trump supporter and shouldn't be. They repeatedly shout "Don't vote Trump".

Then, just today, I see they have updated their rating to 'mixture' and added more text suggesting that the spread of the video is about racism. It's a pity I didn't take a screenshot from earlier.

This is the url: http://www.snopes.com/black-mob-beats-white-man-for-voting-t...

So no. I don't take the 'fact checking' websites seriously.

Imagine for instance a white nationalist walked into a store with a Mexican shopkeeper, got into an altercation because the Mexican "didn't give the right change" when purchasing an item there, and then followed that up by bringing his friends to trash the store.

On the store's CCTV there is audio recording showing racial slurs are used. Furthermore the shopkeeper says to reporter they attacked his store because he was Mexican and denies that he gave back the incorrect amount of change. He claims they were looking for a fight.

Then along comes snopes.com and they make an article claiming this was really about a shoplifting incident. Police sources say the white gang stole some items when they left.

That is what this is like. The fact checker is obviously biased.
True. But it has a lot to do with Islam which insists on keeping things exactly same as they were 1400 years ago and also insists on maintain distance from all other cultures.

I wish all people people such as Muslims of middle east, Christians of Europe/USA, Hindus and other Pagans of east etc. would look a bit deeper into their history and realize how much similar we have been instead only focusing on relatively modern superficial religious differences.

Not sure about this specific Lenovo laptop, but if anyone else is having a similar issue on a Lenovo, I'd suggest checking the BIOS settings; my Ideapad 700 had a setting there called something like "legacy function keys", which made the function keys act like function keys by default (and required using the "Fn" modifier key in combination with a function key to change the backlight, volume, etc.)

Exactly. How many times would you want to answer (or even read different questions and answers for) how to compare strings in Java? And it's not limited to one programming language. There was a time that I used to answer but then it started to suck.
Bring an alternative to reading the docs is the very essence of SO.

Why read the docs when you can google for the exact single question you have and be looking at the answer a second later?

Especially on technologies you are diving into just to quickly do something, and that you don't have time to learn in any depth.

We've banned these sockpuppet troll accounts, but you should know that we also ban the main account when behavior like this continues. Please don't create new accounts to violate the guidelines with.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
FWIW, you don't have to create an account to answer questions on Stack Overflow. We'll encourage you to do so, because it generally makes things easier... But if you want to just enter an email address (can be fake) and some sort of name (doesn't have to be one you use anywhere else), you can post without registering or revealing any personal details. We don't require folks to associate an account on another site, or silly "real name" requirements, or anything else that'd force you to identify yourself.

But, I'd guess what you're probably after is something else entirely: a way to have an account, and post answers using that account, but not have those answers associated publicly with that account. This has been requested a few times over the years, but... It's a bit of a troublesome idea:

- Spam / trolling (the kind performed by humans, not bots) often depends on being able to stay just a little bit ahead of the folks who are trying to stop you. Anything that can buy you a few more minutes of activity before being blocked can upset that balance; sure, we could remove anonymity for moderators, but there's a psychological impact here: if you think you can get away with something, you're more likely to try.

- Reputation is tracked on a per-account basis, and most of the accounting there is public: again, this serves multiple purposes, both for the author themselves (they're encouraged to become "invested" in the site by contributing in exchange for privileges) and for the greater community (privileges aren't handed out capriciously, they're earned in ways that can be tracked).

- What about things like edits and comments? Presumably you'd want to be able to respond to comments on your answers, or make edits that correct problems - for "unregistered" answers, that's solved by giving you a temporary account that retains edit rights, comment rights, etc. (at least until you lose the cookie); if you posted anonymously under a normal account, would your edits and comments also be anonymous, or would you show up incongruously as yourself?

- We periodically publish a full set of data on posts, comments, edits, etc. that anyone can use; we'd have to decide whether or not to preserve anonymity in this data, and not just for authorship but also for edits, commentary, etc.

It's a big can of worms, which is why we've so far avoided opening it... But I do see the advantages as well.

Disclaimer: I work for Stack Overflow.
Of course it has infinite sets, N is an infinite set, and the proof makes a statement about another infinite set, the set of primes.

This proof is non-constructive because proof-by-contradiction proofs that can't be changed into proof-by-negation proofs are not allowed in constructive math, because there's no law of excluded middle with infinite sets in constructive math, which follows from a lack of a strong axiom of choice.

This proof says that the set of prime numbers can't be finite. Only in classical logic you can deduce from this that the set of prime numbers must be infinite. In intuitionistic logic you can't deduce this.

This is interesting because most "normal" proofs and results can be written so that they are valid both in classical logic and intuitionistic logic. Only "crazy" results like the Banach–Tarski theorem are different.

An yet this is a trivial proof of a trivial result that can't be easily converted to constructivism. That is why it screams of axiom of choice.
Its the hidden nature of the self filtering that allows people to not be aware they are in a bubble. Just simply the awareness that this is an inherently biased source can make you think about other perspectives. You may go to brietbart because you agree with them, but if half the links are for infowars or other sites that you may not know the biases of it would be extremely helpful to know.

Hell, even a browser extension giving you a bias bar with a sliding scale for each source would be super neat.

Right wing outlets are typically the ones where you can easily detect bias. It's direct, whereas left wing outlets tend to be nuanced (leading questions, selection bias, omitting valid counterarguments, etc.) They tend to have a more sophisticated psychological approach.

For example, at NPR, contrast the neutral reporting of Greene vs McEvers. Greene remains neutral, McEvers wears her opinions quite visibly albeit subtly, and well delivered.
Stack Overflow is highly targeted tech content with a variety of detailed, popular and niche posts.

It's a 4-way M.2 NVMe raid card, which HP has ignorantly decided to populate with seemingly mediocre SSDs instead of the current gen flagships from Samsung or Intel.

You can remove the included SSDs and populate it with up to 4 960 Pro SSDs for what I imagine would be 14/8 GB/s sequential read/write performance.

Unfortunately there's no way to buy it without the included SSDs, so you're better off with the unpopulated M.2/mini-SAS NVMe raid cards from Dell, HighPoint, or SuperMicro.
I think that makes perfect sense.

At CoreOS, we use Packet to host the Quay.io build system[0]. Getting bare-metal machines from Packet that we can run our own virtualization on has saved us a significant portion of our expenses compared to our previous system which dynamical spun up EC2 instances. This is definitely not the traditional deployment, but if you're using things like dedicated servers on AWS, you should be evaluating Packet.

In my own personal ops experience with Packet, I've actually seen less failures than Amazon; it feels like more than once a week Amazon has degraded service on the EC2 API in us-east-1 that used to cause us downtime. Not to mention, Amazon waits like 4 hours before they admit anything ever went wrong (green with a tiny yellow badge). However, I'd take this with a grain of salt, as we've replaced the Amazon control plane with a Kubernetes control plane and only interact with Packet API when we tear-down/spin-up a new cluster.

Hi, Kevin here from team Rebelmail.

The long and short of it is this, we allow you to put interactivity directly inside of your recipients inbox. That means things like slideshows, hot spots, full forms and more.

Our API allows developers to send these emails programmatically, just send just the content of the email in a request. We then build the email on the fly and allow you to send it out.

And SES is already supported via SMTP. We should make that more clear there.

Right because their candidate didn't win. Same for the winners, they don't see an issue because they won.

Honestly, I don't think it affected the election. With all the anti Trump rhetoric on most media, it's hard to see the argument people for Trump got the better deal, from the media. [OMG his hand on the RED button, he's gonna grope the nation, legal immigrants are in peril]
Get your own affairs in order. Pay down some debt if you have any. Avoid large purchases. Make sure that you're going to be ok if the wheels come off and things come to a skidding halt.

Overall, are you ok with the job? Do you enjoy what you're doing? Are you learning new things? It's likely that you can't fix the situation with the higher ups, but you can certainly do what you can to make sure that you aren't going to be left stranded.

I felt the same way, but ultimately decided it's a good attribute for an interviewer to have, even though it didn't work out this time.

A good interviewer should understand his interviewee's work, have ideas about it, and then use those ideas to probe for deeper insights than surface details like "who influences you as a writer?". But deep probes are a little risky -- you might not find anything in that direction.

In this case, more than one of the interviewer's probes was a little off-base, but -- to his credit -- he didn't pursue those questions too far after Chiang's responses came back somewhat tempered. Kudos for trying, and kudos for letting it go.

Finally, kudos to Chiang himself for being clear about how he views his work. When faced with an enthusiastic -- but incorrect -- interpretation of one's writing, some authors would just "go with the flow", hesitant to dampen their readers' enthusiasm (misguided as it might be). But Chiang gently shot down a few of the interviewer's ideas, ultimately strengthening the original meaning of his own work.
Possibly for the same reason they don't ship Tk compiled versions. Why should they target every GUI toolkit and complicate their build process which they then have to deal with supporting?

If it's that easy, you can probably find some third party that compiles and offers it. I'm not sure why you think Firefox needs to do it themselves.

Some various work cultures I've worked in:

1) 70-80 work weeks. Get in at 8:30 leave at 11. Sometimes work weekends. This is typical for some of the more competitive jobs in law or finance. Definitely also applies to some startups, especially for founders and early employees.

2) 40 hour work weeks. People get in strictly at 9 and leave at 5. Much of the workforce operates this way.

3) Variable workweeks going from 40-60 hours. Most startup employees seem to be in this bucket from what I've seen.

In my first job, I did 70-80 work weeks almost every week (a bit lighter around holidays) and it was brutal, but by far the hardest thing were the unpredictability of my hours. I never knew whether I was gonna get out of work at 9pm or 2am or if I would have to work over the weekend, so I could never make plans. This was harder than the long hours themselves.

I worked at a company where people were pretty strict about the 9-to-5 thing. The work-life balance was great, but sometimes it's a hassle if people don't work at all outside of work hours; for instance, when you need something from someone and they don't check their emails.

In general, I think that flexibility and predictability is the most important thing for me in what I consider a sane workweek. I wanna know that if I make dinner plans with my wife, I can keep them. If I need to go to the doctor in the morning that it's not a problem. I don't mind going online for a few hours at night afterwards to make up for time missed, but I hate having to cancel plans.

GTK3 itself has various regressions and is slower than GTK2 despite the architectural refactoring lending itself to a snappier experience.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771708

Firefox GTK3 has regressions too, for instance the bookmark manager not remembering where you were last which works with Firefox ESR (GTK2).

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1267863

Also GTK3's file dialog is subjectively a huge regression, but others may prefer it, just like Apple's finder changed over time. I still haven't figured out how dconf and gconf work with GTK3, not using GNOME3 as a desktop.

There are more issues with GTK3 but these are the most visible for those of us who don't use GTK3 regularly as part of GNOME3 and have been forced to use it via Firefox. The way I read the GTK3 bugreport it seems like the devs don't test GTK3 outside GNOME3 and hence do not consider it a priority. That one dev has been stressing that a compositor is needed and multiple answers by the reporter that they're using a compositor seem to be missed during reading on the other side. It's a weird exchange. I'm with the reporter. If GTK3 is not supposed to or not tested outside GNOME3, then this should be communicated so that everyone can make an informed decision to use something else or revive the Firefox Qt toolkit code.
No, he was agreeing. We have a lot of projects on our map to shore up some of these types of issues, but our admins are in high demand, so some of the lower-priority tasks slip on occasion. Since we rarely have issues with the blog (today was an exception) it tends to be a "we know what we'd like to change, but we'll do it when we have time" type of silo on our website.

My colleagues looked into a 2-speed gearbox for EVs and they just couldn't make the case for it. Tesla was also going to use one early on and seems to have abandoned that idea.

For the Model S (or any EV), increasing top speed would mean either increasing the motor RPM, or increasing the gear ratio which would reduce acceleration. I don't know what limits their top speed to 155 and don't want to guess.
