So suddenly it's not Russia anymore, but a "nation-state"?
Ah! Ok, that actually makes a bit more sense... thanks for clarifying! That's actually quite neat then.
It's funny that mainstream news sources were saying Clinton was basically guaranteed to win, they were sure, they had no doubts, then they were proven wrong by what happened.

Everyone for 1 day said "Hey maybe the news doesn't know what they are talking about?"

The next day everyone forgot, and now we get the same news sources that were so wrong, telling us again the problem is "this".

How come they were so wrong and we all knew it, then forgot, then will accept another one of their likely incorrect explanations for why all this happened?
just make C# a first class citizen on iOS also :)
I feel it's unfortunate that comments like this continue to spread the naive idea that anything but innovation will resolve the climate issue. Human nature is what it is. There is plenty of historic evidence to believe that innovation is our way out. Like we innovated ourselves out of material scarcity during the industrial revolution. Like we innovated ourselves out of the coal Industrial era using other carbon fuels. Like we have already started to innovate ourselves out of the hydrocarbon era with other energetic sources which by the way will need to be out-innovated again by our grandchildren because they are not perfect too.
Going to work each day worried that I might get hit by a brick and broken glass was very threatening indeed. And for the record I'm from a poor background and worked my whole life hard for that job. I saved the money I got from it so I could work full time on improving the lives of my fellow humans - which is what I do now.
You could disagree but when someone buys a Samsung device and realise it cant run their favourite app they are going to return it.

Microsoft loves Linux (the kernel), but they hate with passion anything userland that could ever have the dreaded "GNU" or "GPL" letters anywhere mentioned.

C# is a fantastic language.
Apple, make it a first class citizen for iOS also ;)
Luckily, we still have months of investigation on the Clinton Foundation to entertain us well into 2017.
It is deflecting, they were so wrong about the election, so rather than take responsibility they have to blame someone else.

It would be worth it just to have LINQ
The general argument I've heard that synthesizes both: They gave Trump too much credibility by treating him as an equal while attacking Clinton (were "pro-Trump"), but endorsed Clinton and crowed triumphantly at every step that she had it in the bag (were "pro-Clinton").

We should probably stop making absolute claims about anything regarding this election, as there are so many moving parts it is impossible to conclusively place responsibility at any one group's feet.

Then again, that may have been the point you were making :)
5 myths about enterprise software in a mobile world
For those that downvoted the parent, the NSA denied doing many of the activities that Snowden exposed. The US misled the public building their case to invade Iraq. Just two recent examples of where the government lied for their own interests. So, I think the OP makes a fair point.

Further, the gov. hasn't exactly offered substantial evidence to show that it was Russian government as opposed to hackers working alone. Maybe they don't need to provide the general public with all the details, but showing the evidence to a third party would go a long way to building trust.
> If this isn't the case a court can strike down the law as ambiguous.

Yea, that's why I was arguing that being able to sue the government is a Good Thing. I think we're basically in agreement...
> while Clinton would have maintained the status quo.

Much more likely to increase tensions between US and Russia (perhaps even to dangerous levels). Not saying Russia wasn't "looking for it", but Hillary's anti-Russia rhetoric to help her own campaign wasn't helping.
I don't know about that but lastpass is great imo. Also you don't need premium to use it on iOS or Android devices anymore. All of your passwords sync in every devices you have. You should check it.
How is it possible you haven't noted that these devices affect a subset of population in a manner that can be fairly described as 'mesmerized'?

"going 115 mph" on Snapchat. Isn't the mere fact that someone would feel compelled to chat at 115 mph enough? I remember my younger days when I edged closed to that number going from NYC to Troy on 95 and even adjusting the tune or lighting a cig was a very deliberate operation.

If you are texting at that speed, some part of your rational mind has been short circuited.
Nice of you to say but what about this:

Obviously Kaspersky isn't open source, but the tiger's stripes certainly haven't changed.

Also, Microsoft bundling Windows 10 upgrade malware into its security update channel has turned me off Microsoft, probably forever. Still don't understand why installing 10 after being told not to isn't a CFAA violation.
'They' being the media in that sentence.

An ordinary GPU can be made fanless with an aftermarket cooler. The Arctic Accelero S3 will handle 135w TDP cards without a fan. That's sufficient to cool a GTX 1060. You will need a large case with plenty of ventilation.

I believe 'they' in the sentence refers to the media. As in, info from Wikileaks suggests that "[the media] is in bed with the Clinton campaign".

Tacking on more anecdotal information, I'm a chronic pain sufferer and I've taken every OTC and several prescription NSAIDs at various points over the decades... in my case, ibuprofen was not only harsher on my stomach (roughly as bad as diclofenac), it helped less with pain even at huge doses - it helped more with tension and strangely was better at tooth pain, but far less with my particular joint and muscle pains.

I would have guessed similar to the article - Naproxen was the softest on my stomach for as long as I could take it, but over the years I both built a tolerance for it and it wasn't strong enough so I switched to meloxicam (the gentlest on my stomach and the strongest pain reliever of the group, but only available by prescription) and was on it for nearly a decade. I'd go back on it too if I were able - it was definitely the best thing I've ever taken for my pain. Celecoxib was just more expensive ($20 copay vs $4 generic) and didn't work as well. I'm very sad that NSAIDs are no longer an option for me, as they both reduced the pain and treated it, but unsurprisingly 20 years of taking NSAIDs daily caught up with me... medicine still hasn't come up with a better solution for long term pain management, despite the desperate need.
Several studies have been done on the positive or negative connotations of articles[0].
Various studies have been done on which candidate journalists themselves contribute to[1].

That journalists lean left/far left isn't disputable. Whether that colors their reporting on the other hand, might be. The biggest lie that the media can tell while staying in business is 'lying by omission'. It was on display during the recent 60 Minutes interview where Lesley Stahl asked Trump about his supporters attacking anti-trump protestors. That's a fair question by itself, but why if a few isolated incidents evokes their curiousity, why wasn't the media talking about the other 90% of the violence that was perpetrated by anti-Trump protesters? Lying by omission was a constant drumbeat this cycle and they won't be trusted by the average American as a whole for a very long time[2].

[citation needed].

The MSM needs some repair, but I'd say that repair should be moving away from the "both sides do it" and "two sides to every argument" mentality and delivering the truth. On issues like climate change, equal weight does not need to be given to the "it's a hoax" crowd.
Nope. In fact, that term is almost always applied to open technology. Right now Red Hat is doing it to Linux and Google is doing it to the Web. See the list of examples on the linked article for more.

The Goal of User Experience Design
I have been hanging around here on HN after the election and there was one group that IMO tried to portrait everyone but themselves as dumb half-humans.

And it wasn't the republicans. It wasn't people from flyover country laughing about their victory.

Edit: 2 down, no comments. And I have a weird feelings it isn't the republicans who are out to get me. ;-)

I have enough points so feel free to illustrate my point.
In theory (assessing it mentally) that sounds like a good pursuit. I'm not sure we can get people who are entrenched to change how they evaluate information/disinformation, however. It's not a right left issue.

People will complain about say Breitbart (that have opinion pieces which are to put it mildly, out of synch with most republicans) but then don't see the same kind of thing coming out of HuffPo or even some NPR programs like CodeSwitch which can also put out opinion pieces which strain logic.
I definitely used the wrong word -- I intended this meaning.
Open source means nothing and is same easy to extinguish, it's only more visible when someone is trying to. Microsoft, Google, Apple do open source work for publicity, if you as a single developer want a change in a projects, you submit PR... and wait weeks. First you need to write RFC, at some point RFC will be discussed behind closed doors by corporatisation members, you can have your vote in it on GitHub, but nothing else as we saw once already with MS. All you can do is fix documentation and tests for them, means they get free labour to improve their products, you can have an important repo forked on GitHub.
It is in the interest of every state to discredit Wikileaks, hence Russia "letting slip," they were behind the DNC leaks right after the election.

The intelligence community doesn't get an opinion. Arguably, any comment from them about domestic elections only reduces the legitimacy of their mandate.

You and I have very different definitions of racism. I'm using it as a synonym for "acts of racial discrimination" and not a system of oppression. I don't believe whether one racially discriminates or not is based on their race, is the argument I was making.

But considering your definition, do you believe this statement: "Our institutional and cultural processes are so arranged as to automatically benefit whites, just because they are white." If you do, how does your view contrast with the concept of affirmative action?

> reforming prisons, walking back the war on drugs

Agreed.

> White people dominate media, and this sends a message that the national narrative is white.

You've completely lost me.

> only see yourself as a token character on a show written completely without your cultural perspective

I am certain there are shows that exist as a counterpoint to that. It's difficult to do stuff like that, though, considering people would have to cater to a smaller market. Many shows today avoid focusing directly on traditional white or black life and instead pick some sort of fantasy or otherwise fast-and-loose setting in order to expand their total addressable market, so it's not unimaginable you'd see very little of your culture represented. But then again, mine is similarly unrepresented. That's why I watch streaming Polish TV sometimes.

> start taking hate speech seriously

That depends on your definition of "hate speech". Our definitions have differed before... so I'd agree with banning harassing, threatening, or libelous/slanderous speech. But as far as I know, those are all already banned, no? So I then assume that your definition of "hate speech" is "speech that is disrespectful to people based on the people's characteristics." And I'd disagree with banning that, because no one should go to jail for simply being disrespectful.

> giving everybody equal chances at training, education, income, and housing

If you can scratch together the funds to do so, can't you do any of those things? I come from a family of Polish emigrants (having been born there myself), and having immigrated to the US, we had very very little. But my mom started out cleaning rich people's houses day and night (with me in tow) and my dad applied his knowledge from Poland in a CNC shop. Now my mom is a dental hygienist, having studied at a community college, and now makes above the median pay for her field. My dad is far along in his career as a CNC machinist. We live well now, and I go to a university. I have lived the American dream and believe that "equal chances" are already given, for the most part.

And I agree that your view of the poor is extremely patronizing and reductionist. But perhaps state-funded training might be helpful in the coming years, considering Trump said he's bringing back manufacturing jobs, and most of those jobs now require technical expertise and programming/engineering/applied math knowledge.
Your Words – Our $300 Amazon Gift Card
I don't understand this critique. Though "influence election" sounds ominous, in this case it really refers to "influencing" voters by revealing true things, does it not?

One can argue that the means of obtaining the information (hacking) is relevant, but I'm not sure if that's something I'd accept without examination.
And do what exactly? make the car crash? If you want to do that just cut a break fluid line, don't even need to open the car for that.

I mean, I take your general point, but I'm almost certain that 99.9% of people breaking into cars do it to steal them, not to install a virus that will track your location or make your car crash. Both of those can be achieved trivially without even opening the car.
It was great watching NBC, CNN, et al election night.

Every hour or so there'd be a conversation like

A: "What did our polls get so wrong?"

B: "Well regardless, it looks like Trump's path to victory...blah blah"

Not even an ounce of introspection. Still haven't heard any answers.
"but unfairly singles out the alt-right movement "

The left version would be the passive-aggressive, censorship-prone bullies we call Social Justice Warriors (SJW's). You'll rarely see sites call them out despite them often being a minority within a minority acting like they speak for everyone where issues are often more nuanced.

Far as media reporting, corporate media work for advertisers. People hearing what they want to hear and hating who they want to hate keeps their attention. Those outlets will then selectively present information to maintain that feedback loop. Business is booming. Groups actually trying to inform people with the facts or present balanced information to let people decide themselves are rare. Often small.

My old approach was to identify the bias and reliability of various outlets then read them all. These days, I read second-hand info more often as I've found reliable, biased individuals or groups that pre-filter such sites to I can get to the meat of what they're saying. I still follow-up on raw data where it matters. The election cycle this year was the biggest pile of bullshit-producing, echo chambers I've seen in a long time. That Facebook, etc have algorithms preventing opposing sides from seeing each other as often as they would in the past is the reason imho.
Also, it's worth remembering that whether something is the right thing to do or not does not depend on whether you can prevent it from happening or from being carried out by someone else (you can note similar vile sentiments when people say things like "if I don't do it, someone else will" ). In other words, you should refuse to do something you know is wrong because it's wrong, end of story. The fact that someone willing can or will take your place is irrelevant. Concerns over prevention are distinct from concerns over where you should act in some manner. Where prevention is concerned, kareemsabri's suggestion is a viable option.
Of course it will impact billing!

Customers will be billed the same. Ok, I agree on that; but in better metrics means more accurate ROI calculations and in the medium/long term this means more business.
Chinese Scientists Become First to Use CRISPR Gene-Editing on Humans
I don't want to go down the path of who was oppressed, or how, or why.

I will say that advocating for genocide is wrong.

This shouldn't be rocket science. Advocating for the death or oppression of any group "just 'cause" is wrong. People shouldn't do it. Their behavior shouldn't be condoned, or excused as "they don't really mean it", or "they're not really going to do it", or "other people have it worse".

Personally, I've never advocated for genocide, and never defended anyone who advocates for genocide. The idea horrifies me.
Health Tracking without lifting a finger
While I can't seem to think of a solution of the top of my head....

Sammy had an older video [0] which showed a device that was not a keyboard acting like a keyboard & mouse. While that required an unlocked computer to function, I feel like adding exceptions to a rule would just make it worse.

Another solution would be to sign USB devices (for example, Apple keyboards etc.) and only those signed devices would work when the computer was locked.

> Buy local produce, and let your local supermarket or grocer know this. Educate others. It saves on all of the transport emissions from air or truck freight of goods.

This doesn't make much sense intuitively, and a quick Google search seems to confirm that most of the environment impact of produce comes from the growing efficiency and production methods, not from its transportation.

Feel-good measures that do very little are bad enough, since they encourage complacency, but feel-good measures that actually make the environment worse are terrible!

In terms of one's diet, I think the best one can do is to stop eating beef. It is terrible compared to other meats. In terms of one's overall impact, getting involved politically is probably the easiest way to make a change. Switching from Mexican tomatoes to greenhouse-grown Canadian tomatoes is not going to make much of a difference in either direction.

I also think Java is fine. Compared to C#, I find Java code easier to read as there is less magic. I also use Groovy for some corner cases like for example JDBC stuff or metaprogramming. I'm also a big fan of Maven and the development tools for Java, and most importantly the eco-system with rich libraries and frameworks. Is there an alternative for JRebel or Spring-loaded for C# yet?
