You only know that in hindsight. The FBI didn't know if anything was there before they had a chance to investigate, and they also didn't know how soon the investigation could be completed. So, yes, they did risk a possible scenario of coverup accusations if they decided to not notify congress the moment they started investigating again.

> Today, the likelihood that you'll be shot by a cop if you're black is astronomically higher than if you're white.

This is not true. Not only is there no astronomically higher probability, there is no higher probability.[1] Other studies found that officers hesitate longer before shooting an armed black suspect than they do white or Hispanic suspects.[2]

It'd be great if companies would support this sort of use if they're not going to bother creating native versions.

I used to play games using PlayOnLinux but the company, Origin (IIRC), updated their game manager software seemingly in order to break the Linux compatibility. The games were paid for and worked perfectly well.

Annoying as hell when companies appear to be actively hostile to you buying their product.
If you look at the linked study they're careful to point out that they're only looking at what happens when you're already stopped by police. Blacks in America are much more likely to be stopped overall, so it's not definitive.

They're looking at P(shot|stopped by police and white) and P(shot|stopped by police and black) not P(shot by police|black) and P(shot by police|white).
Absolutely, our current way of life in the western world may not be completely sustainable. We're competing for a share of a shrinking pie with growing and advancing economies across the world, economies that we are also heavily and inextricably dependent on. I think to some extent we need to accept this and figure out ways to manage the painful transition to a long-term sustainable civilization.
I'm not sure who would be in such a position, but - to be fair, Snopes has indeed been for many years in the 'business' of observing and understanding how misinformation spreads.

So, to some extent, they do have some authority to theorize that fake news sites do not spread misinformation (because they supposedly know enough how it spreads to know this doesn't look like it).

You know when you're talking to a Trump supporter when they think that a preference for facts over lies amounts to a "close adherence to progressive extremist ideology". What a load of bullshit.
High US health care spending quite well explained by its high standard of living
My direct response to your question is: the same as when the NSA released theirs. Like I said in the very post you're responding to, there are arguments both ways, but to pick and choose which argument you're using in a way that always happens to disadvantage one candidate is a scandal itself, and likely a criminal violation of the Hatch act.

And as an aside, it was an update to the effect of "we don't actually know anything new, but we found something that might hold something new." And, as we know now, didn't actually contain anything new. There's a reason they call it the October surprise.

It would probably be some proprietary extensions in something like systemD. Increase the complexity to code about 10x to eliminate the small devs, etc. Nothing we haven't seen with the open doc standard, ActiveX, Java portability, etc.

You have to think more business like. Why extinguish Linux when every copy running somewhere can give you licencing income. Maybe they'll partner with redhat and provide them something that has to be paid. Unlimited possibilities really.
Brilliant site, thanks for the recommendation.
I do agree with you there. Twitter is great for immediate notifications like that.

For discussion, if people, say, tweeted a link to their blog entry with their thoughts, I feel that would be a great use case of Twitter. Unfortunately some chose to do the entire discussion on Twitter. That often ends up poorly.
I was involved in the alpha for QiuckSight and found it interesting. My feeling is that Amazon realizes that there is a market for data visualization and analysis for RDS, Redshift, S3 flat files, etc. There are many players in this space as well as traditional BI companies like Tableau.

QuickSight is going to be leveraged for more than just data analysis. They'll (probably) be using this for cost exploring and other features down the road (ELB Log Analysis, VPC Flow Log Analysis).

There are several limitations that I ran into. If you want to use a Redshift cluster as a data source it has to be a) publicly accesable and b) you have to whitelist the QuickSight IP range. QuickSight is launched in Amazon's infrastructure (their account and VPC) and that places limitations on what can be accessed (no VPC peering).

As an operations engineer, my biggest feedback was "let me launch my own QuickSight resources in my own VPC". Don't get me wrong, the fact that you get an AD instance, SPICE DB, and Web UI at a button click is nice, but I want to have more freedom to control and secure it. Just my two cents.
Project.json for .net core is gone, there's xproj file. How to change settings, like target framework, per-framework dependencies, build options, pre/post build steps, etc? I don't see any tooling support for that.
Any internal team at least slightly aware of the problem would not have a good performance review for the year if their biggest project was to reduce revenue by x% due to efforts to address this.
If you can, refuse. Tell them that you believe that you get into a big trouble, if this comes out and you are not sure anyway that it does not.

Based on your description they are looking for a scapegoat. If this comes out, they definitely point towards you while saying that they were not aware of this, must be interns initiative.

"...Because black crime is 4x greater"

Why is that? Why is it that every voice like yours stops the analysis there. "Black crime commit more crimes, end of story". Ask the 5 why's! You don't think there are institutional and socio-cultural (history driven) issues that lead to this?
It doesn't; as per usual it's just an SJW making a gratuitous leap to associate an innocent thing with a bad thing.

A really great short documentary on this subject is Louis Theroux's "Gambling in Las Vegas". His frank manner really cuts to the core of not only the length to which addicts will justify gambling but also to the lengths to which the casino employees justify their enabling.

I wouldn't exactly call Uber a piece of innovation. It's a phone app for hiring taxi drivers from a pool of cheap labor. You want to claim innovation? Let's find the people torching self-driving cars.
I completely agree—hope the article communicated that.

Although I think the ideal experience is one where its completely automated and out of mind for the user, I do think the next best thing is to turn it into more of a glossy, marketing-friendly competitive advantage. Something like "better peace of mind through enhanced security" or some other nice-sounding soundbite.

IoT security is a huge concern for me personally, especially in the wake of the Dyn attack. I'd love to see more strategies for helping make things better, especially in the consumer space.

Considering the US wasn't the only country with slavery, I'm curious if other countries have museums dedicated to the subject? It seems whenever someone brings up slavery everyone automatically thinks of America.

Slavery was very widely popular in China, south east asia, and most notably the middle east during that era.

I've also heard there's still as many slaves today in Africa as there were in the 1800's America:

> Forced labor in Sub-Saharan Africa is estimated at 660,000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_contemporary_Africa

Maybe it's a good thing Americans are so interested in the subject, as everywhere else that legacy, and in the case of modern Africa the reality, is not being confronted. But at the same time I feel like there are risks of seeing it as a uniquely American issue rather than a human one that the majority of the earths population's has had some connection to in the past.

The larger narrative about Jim Crow laws and state sanctioned racism in the modern era is still somewhat unique to the US though - at least in the western world.

Otherwise this is largely the consequence of America being the dominant media and news engine for the world. It gets the greatest amount of inward reflection regarding their responsibility for the guilt of past human failures.

It's neither fake news nor failing media, it's the Internet itself. The Internet has created echo chambers for just about any kind of crackpots and conspiracy theorist you could find. It used to take tremendous efforts to meet fellow ufologists, and the literature was not abundant in libraries either.

Fast forward two decades and you will have a hard time finding some weird worldview that does not yet have a forum and community with ardent followers.

Human culture is to a large extent based on knowledge by testimony, and unfortunately our processing of that is fairly simplistic. The more people in your peer group believe X, the more likely you will believe X, too (as a tendency). That can become a problem when you can choose your peer group as you wish online rather than being forced to get along with the members of your tribe whether you like them or not.
Why not? The science is far from settled. In much the same way that the media leans left, so does academia. Academia is not immune from corruption, and dare I say, academia is a worse swamp than Washington.
I use Flipboard for my news and RSS feeds, but really hate how Flipboard forces every feed you add into separate "magazines." I like all of my news in one magazine, all my tech news in another, etc. Fed up with it, I whipped up a Django-based app that lets me create collections of feeds and then outputs them into single RSS feeds in a Flipboard-friendly format. I can add and remove feeds in a collection from a simple web interface and see the results in my Flipboard app. It's not one of my most amazing creations, but it scratches a really big annoying itch and works great.
RFC 822 is what happens when you try to standardize a system in such a way that it is backwards compatible with every home grown system on the planet.

>The question is what can we do about it? How do we rebuild public trust in the institutions (science and education) that should guide the country in the right path even if the people are asleep at the wheel? Trust in experts is at an all time low. Fact checking appears to have failed = "The fact checkers are biased!". And people are retreating into their media bubbles.

Experts and institutions need to care about the people and stand up against the malign parts of the capitalist establishment.
Everything I've ever read indicated talking with a passenger was distracting but not as distracting as a cell phone. And cell phones are still distracting even of they are hands free. The most distracting activity is math problems.
You're most welcome.

I usually take my civic duty fairly seriously and try to stay on top of the candidates and their campaigns but this year I found the negativity and vitriol displayed by both sides to be so grating that I was just tuning things out these last few months.

This whole issue with Pepe really drove things home for me, as juvenile as that may sound. I first stumbled upon Pepe years ago when I was even less sure of myself than I am now and I found the image of Pepe staring out of a window as the rain poured down outside [1] to be a perfect illustration of angst.

I'm upset that such an innocent meme could be co-opted by literal Nazis, but to be honest, I don't hold neo Nazis in particularly high regard so I'm not really surprised nor disappointed. On the other hand, I'd like to think a major candidate's campaign would put a bit more thought into the issue than simply asserting that Pepe posters are all Nazis.

I think most decent people would be upset and hurt at being called a racist, sexist, homophobe, or Nazis without a concrete reason. Yes, Pepe is just a stupid cartoon frog and it's not the end of the world that I no longer have him adorn my backpack, but still I feel this is a good example of the effect falsely labelling people with certain isms can have.

Despite being a progressive far to the left of Clinton, this whole affair makes me sympathetic to all the Trump supports, many, perhaps the vast majority of whom are not racist and have legitimate anger at the way Washington has neglected their concerns, who now face being lumped in with actual racists by the media.

"Marketing is trying to convince you otherwise and I'm a little shocked you swallow it so easily"

I've worked in marketing and tech, I know the difference.

Snapchat is not a technology company, any more than Nike is.

Nike is a consumer marketing/apparel/fashion company, that invests a lot in 'sports tech' and used to be (in the 1970's) more of a purely sports tech company, but made the shift to lifestyle/brand apparel in the 1980's.

Snapchat is as much a 'technology' company as MTV, Pixar, Zara or Wallmart.

Sure, but can you at least recognize that conflating what's happening here to men (an internet campaign that has no signs of manifesting in the real world in any significant way) vs. what Jews have experienced is not a useful thing to do? It is a huge false equivalence. You can believe that both are bad, while also saying that one of the two is much, much worse to the point that the comparison is unjust.

Having a mid-career "stop/pause/sabbatical" is a really good idea if you can afford it.

You don't realize how much of your daily life is done in autopilot until you stop and have time to think about your priorities, specially your career priorities.

In my case it helped me to focus on what I wanted to do the next 10 years (DATA), and get more confidence on what can I do as a developer (15+ years without serious coding).

Just one suggestion: during that time play every contess/prize you find about your career. This forces you to work on deadlines and speeds-up a lot how you learn.
It sure would provide an example to other employees. Mike was replaced because he wouldn't write the code he was asked to write. Lesson learned: Write the code you're asked to if you want to keep your job.
