When the idea of "fake news" is used to discredit sites like ZeroHedge and WikiLeaks as "Russian propaganda", you know it's not about fakeness/truth, but only about control - in other words, propaganda.

(I'm not saying that ZeroHedge is a quality site, far from it - but they've always been anti-establishment, pro-conspiracy theory, and they haven't changed their stance during this election campaign at all.)

I was considering an upload gateway and administrative functions. You can't really just expose S3 on that scale.

Generally Sandisk items are restricted, i.e. only authorized resellers are allowed to list them on amazon. (There's also a $1000 fee payable to Amazon to be allowed to sell them.)

So for Sandisk specifically this isn't a concern, although your comment applies to other, unrestricted brands.

I use two thinkpads T560(win) & L450(linux) and just dock them when using either one for more monitors

Okay. I didnt expect that. Maybe they're stepping up their game ^^

Do they have a decent catalogue in Spain? and they have the series translated in Spanish as well?
It works totally fine on Linux, without any issue.

We just don't provide Linux binaries, except Ubuntu Snaps, because it is extremely difficult to do.

Just pull the code from the repo and you'll get that :)
There was no "claim" to disclaim by saying it's unsubstantiated. The original tweet was just that Clinton should be tested for poisons, not that she was definitely (or even likely) poisoned.

It's true that headlines like these cause people to become certain about what is an unsubstantiated idea. But it's also within the realm of possibility that Putin did try to poison Clinton. It would be far from the most egregious thing he's ever tried to do, and (as the story describes) he's done it before.
WalMart.com is very good. Same prices as in stores and for what I buy from it, staples so far, those have been quite a bit cheaper than Amazon/Amazon Pantry, reasonably quick free shipping for orders > $50 (several days but less than a week as I recall), double layer corrugated boxes (!), adequate packing in the two shipments I've received so far (albeit don't buy dry laundry detergent since they won't bag it and some will get on the surfaces of everything, although that's just annoying), and 3% off if you use one of their cards.

You'll pay local sales tax since they have stores everywhere. Wish I'd started using them when I recently bought a case of Sapporo Ichiban Miso Ramen, Amazon, which I think had a slightly lower price, was out, so I went with a 3rd party which a high rating, which had the brilliant idea of unpacking the case and stuffing it into a Medium size Priority Mail box, which can comfortably only hold half as many. As long as none of the soup base packets were punctured by this stunt I'll come out OK, but....
Agreed. I see posts like this not being dissimilar to posting a paywalled version of an article when there is an open version available elsewhere. Would be good to have the URL switched to the official link you posted instead.

I have a 2013 MacBook Air. I used to develop Django apps on a Windows PC and was perfectly satisfied. I had to switch because of a off-hand promise. I've never been happier.

I made a lighthearted promise one day, many moons ago, to my client. We were running our service on CodeIgniter in PHP. I found it difficult to move quickly. I was gently trying to convince them to move to Django. My client jokingly remarked that if we ever do change to Django I will need to start developing on a Mac. Knowing that it is not smart to just change languages and frameworks for the heck of it, I agreed to the promise. I did not really want to get a Mac. Some time passes and we need to do a ground-up rebuild for various other reasons. Other people recommend Django to him out-of-band and bam!

Promise made, promise kept. We switch to Django. I get a Mac. Both decisions turned out very well.

The main thing, as silly as it may be, my favorite thing is the multiple desktop and the three-finger touchpad sweep to change between them. I had a brand new 3 monitor set up, with plans of going to 6. All of a sudden I have as many "monitors" as I want in a super-portable package!

I like the Mac. It took about two weeks to get used to it, but it is nice. It feels very natural. I may go back to a PC one day, but not before I can have virtual screens and a multi-touch sweep to change between them.
If you detect something that can not (well, should not) ever happen, it means that state of the process is no longer within designed bounds.

The process' output can not be trusted, so it should stop processing. Detecting something you never expect to happen is almost tautologically stating the software doesn't know how to recover state.

This, of course, relies on an architecture where another process will take care of making sure an error is bubbled to the place it needs to go, pulling failsafe, etc... I will grant some environments and/or designs make this easier than others (eg. Erlang's error handling is all about letting processes die).
Well... there is at least some sense in writing a webapp in C. If you rely on operating system primitives for security (processes, Unix filesystem permissions, seccomp/pledge/capsicum) instead of language features (bounds checking, garbage collection, etc.) then just maybe you could get performance gains while still being secure.

But in reality writing applications in a hosted environment/virtual machine is more performant than writing it in C and locking it down with operating system features. And of course more secure.

The author's efforts would be better spent on improving the performance of OS-based security (processes, filesystems), than attempting to use that security as it stands. There are all kinds of tricks that could be implemented to improve things...
> because it lets people who don't live on the coasts have a say too

I'm from the midwest and I still don't understand this sentiment. Why should the power of your vote depend on where you choose to lay your head down at night? That seems extremely anti-democratic to me.

It's not that people who don't live on the coasts shouldn't have a say. It's that if someone wins a popular vote by 2 million fucking votes, then they should probably win the election.

We already have the senate. The house also favors less populous states, even if not by design.

And state governments.

People who don't live on the coasts have an enormous amount of say without getting an extremely disproportionate voice in the presidential election.
A consumer focused human parity ASR service will disrupt so many industries, including mine. I run a human powered transcription service where we transcribe files with high accuracy. I am just waiting for the day when our transcribers can work off a auto-generated transcript instead of typing it all up manually. I'll pay good money for a service where I can just send a file and get a 80-90% accurate transcript with speaker diarization.
Target.com has been pretty solid for me (Red Card required).
I think it would say "each way" if it totaled to 8. "Both ways" suggests to me that it's cumulative.
But, realistically, the power is there on any site featuring user contributions - Hacker News, Twitter, Slashdot, etc. etc. Humans are fallible; given infinite time, the same thing will happen on those sites too, and probably worse. If you push someone hard enough (I don't know the full story, but I believe the CEO was provoked) they will lash out and do something stupid unless they are incredibly serene or lack any emotion.

If that possibility is too much of a concern, maybe we need to come up with an alternative - like some kind of decentralised, mass-distributed reddit-like. Actually, wasn't that usenet? Is it too late to get that back?

My plan is to split my network in half, a lot of the traffic I send I really don't care about been monitored (steam/netflix/even work related stuff about programming) but other stuff I do.

That way I'll have a "plane jane" traffic log and some VPN data which is a profile that anyone who works for a large company from home would have.
It is highly unethical to flagkill every comment that disagrees with you. I suggest you stop doing it
I am surprised that anyone is surprised by this, honestly. Russian culture does not place even as much of a value on truthfulness as American culture does, and even that is not that high.

It should be seen as a given that there is significant Russian propaganda working all the time on every issue they care about. Of course they would be trying to influence the American election.
It's really hard

Yes, I'm very happy with that code, apart from one thing: how animations are done sometimes with tweens in JS, and sometimes with CSS.

I'm sure it could have been built with less code. In general, the more shortcuts you take and the less abstraction you use, the less amount of code you will have. But also, it's likely that you would mix concerns more easily. So in general, when separating concerns, you end up getting more LOCs. That's what I've perceived in my experience, not a fact that I can prove.

So I do feel like model-view-intent shines here. Model only has state concerns. I was careful in moving away DOM-related code from the model. So theoretically you could reuse this model for React Native or any other UI target. View only displays state in a visual representation, and intent only captures user events and represents them in a form suitable for the model.

About some TypeScript code, I think you referred to https://github.com/staltz/matrixmultiplication.xyz/blob/mast.... These could have been avoided. The only purpose they serve is to make inference work out for lines like these: https://github.com/staltz/matrixmultiplication.xyz/blob/mast... TypeScript knows that `action` is of type StartMultiplyAction. If we had only done `.filter(ac => ac.type === 'START_MULTIPLY')`, TypeScript couldn't infer anymore. So I understand those isFoo functions are very boilerplatey, but they serve the purpose to provide accurate typings. It's optional and depending how you write TypeScript code, you can use more type casting and more `any`, or you can go down the route of providing accurate types everywhere, which is what I did. This is not at all related to Cycle.js nor MVI.

Feel free to ask more architecture-related questions. I like these. What else feels like "too much code"?
Was intrigued by this comment so I looked it up.

North and South America have a surface area of about 42.55 million sq km or 4.58x10^14 sq ft (1 foot deep water is obviously 4.58x10^14 cubic feet).

Lake Superior has a volume of 12,100 cubic km or 4.2x10^14 cubic feet.

That's unbelievable!

Snopes has not "debunked" anything. Once, the couple who run the Snopes blog were good at investigating urban legends and such. In recent years they have gotten more political and more obvious in their selective coverage to fit an agenda.

Note, I am 100% against harassing the guy and his business, but you cannot deny his instagram had the pictures on it. Does that justify a barrage of internet hate and accusations of criminality? No. But lying about Instagram pictures being faked when they weren't is also not helpful.

Exactly, this is not "democracy". However, the USA is not a democracy, but a constitutional republic. Electing the POTUS via a national popular vote would be rife with more problems than it solves. This article does a good job explaining this topic. http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2004/11/the-elector...
And this definitely isn't a theoretical problem. People have had countfit items delivered by Amazon.com themselves because of the comingle issue (and third party vendors suspended because a different vendor tried to sell fakes, and they got comingled).
At the same time, I feel like we have to be approaching a breaking point where the internet will become less inherently global.

In these non-free countries, large American platforms are being blocked for the damage they do to regimes. Meanwhile, data compromises and state surveillance, as well as attacks on networks and, occasionally, infrastructure, seem to show that nothing connected is safe.

It doesn't seem out of the question that we'll see significant restriction of traffic flow across borders. Maybe the next time a major war breaks out, or even just when tensions rise, it will be a wartime measure that, like passports, never recedes.
As somebody who overcame a different but similarly awful mental illness (addiction to strong opiates, mainly heroin and opium), I can't even begin to pretend I understand what people with anxiety issues are going through. But I know I've been at a point where I thought I would just pack it in, just go into a forest in winter and freeze to death. Didn't obviously and am unbelievably glad I didn't.

You know the generic tips. Get help, believe in change, keep trying. I'm not sure I want to reiterate that because none of these things were what helped me. It was a close friend, somebody I can genuinely say saved my life. And there's what imagine to be the worst problem with generalized anxiety: not easily being able to ask others for help.

Believe me, it wasn't easy for me either. But if social interaction scares you, if going out of the door is an impossibility? Man, I have no idea whatsoever how that could be improved.

Still, and this is vital, giving up for good is never the answer. I was jamming two grams of morphine per day into my veins five years ago, barely still literate and pretty much waiting for death. Back to working, back to a social and romantic life, back to... feeling good. Sober. And I'm neither stronger nor cleverer nor better than anyone else, not by a long shot.
What the hell happened to the future?
I wrote this yesterday:

> Zuckerberg came to a compromise to be chums with the Communist party in China. I wonder if that will ever pay off especially when you are so invested now and the relationship is dictated completely on the conditions of the foreign government. If this is the beginning then I shudder to think what the next compromise will be that affects their end user. It sets an uneasy precedent for future prospects eager to capture the enormous market in China.

I'm really proud of Google that they just got up and left China once they realized it was a one way relationship with a lot of giving and giving.

I think this is a huge blunder from Zuckerberg and it definitely hurts Facebook's brand.

It also shows a more underlying urgency from Zuck, the stock price is tied to user base growth and without it, the perceived future value evaporates with it. That in turn shows how elusive this "zero-interest rate capital funded growth at all cost" is and it's starting to show cracks.

Recall the Porsche story during the 70s when access to capital was really great. The problem was they assumed capital would always be there but what happened was when they most needed it the market conditions have changed and Volkswagen swallowed it up.

Facebook's revenue models are coming under scrutiny as advertisers can't justify the ambiguous metrics and ROI.

I wonder who will buy Facebook, perhaps News Corp?

An unexperienced user might not know that the history is recorded and later can be accidently seen for example by other member of the family. A good software would not allow that.

technically they are providing value. they have better knowledge to more accurately price assets, therefore through buying and selling they are correcting the pricing of real companies.
DNS has always been one of the weakest links in security in my personal experience. From transparent DNS proxing, to DNS hijacking in local network attacks, to complete and quite transparent, often very permanent and undetectable hijacks of consumer-level network equipment, such as routers, through trivial UPNP hacks.
You are, of course right, that the privatization process wouldn't have ended up being magically perfect if foreign investment would have been banned. There is so much awfulness that happened around the privitization process... And I wonder, if škoda hadn't been bought, would it have simply gone bankrupt after having been tunneled.

But if škoda had gone bankrupt, then that wouldn't have been an end to the Kolín, Mladé Boleslav, Leipzig industrial triangle. Cars would still be made here, given the huge amount of equipment and expertise in the area. But with škoda owned by VW, it cements a market dominance which is hard to shake. In a way, capital ownership is perminant.

A worse case is that of the swiss owned coal mines in the north. We behave as though those are still state owned mines. We kick people out of their houses with the power of the law. But the profits flow across the border to the west. Personally, I think that the government should pass a law that would re-nationalize the mines, without paying anything for them. The Chinese would certainly re-nationalize their mines if they were in the same situation. Right now, we behave as if capitalism is absolute, and democracy is relative to capitalism. The people cannot vote to confiscate the mines, but the companies can certainly bribe elected officials into privatizing them. So privatization is a one way process which puts more power into the hands of capitalists and takes power from the voters.

And now the Chinese are buying assets in democratic countries, and we are sitting here with our hands folded, saying "well, capitalism must come first. Democracy must never be allowed to interfere with the needs of capitalism." Which will be the death of democracy, unless we learn to dissobey capitalism and vote for things that break the rules of absolute and perminant ownership.
Witch hunts and brigading are also against their rules.
I assume by 2012 MBP you mean the Retina model? I've never experienced anything like this on my mid-2012 non-Retina MBP. (Hard drive issues, yes, but not video glitches.)
> The lesson that a lot of anti-Trumpers appear to have taken away from this election is that the electoral college is bad because it lets people who don't live on the coasts have a say too.

The sarcasm in your post is, funnily enough, the opposite of the truth because they actually have MORE say than people living in coastal cities[0]

Not only that, but as populations in major cities increase, and number of electoral votes stay the same, this effect increases [1]

I've said this a few times here, but applying a simple filter of 98% feedback or so and at least 25 feedbacks will avoid 99% of the issues. You can also look at the expected shipping speed.

There are plenty of good, large sellers, and they didn't get that way by skimping on quality. You don't need to take a chance on smaller sellers if you don't want to.

(Also, many sellers use FBA which avoids most of the issues, the only concern there is really product quality, which again is something you don't need to worry too much about if it's an experienced seller. Commingling can cause problems, but it's very rare, if Amazon saw a significant number of problems from it they'd have stopped the program.)
Did the original WaveNet text to speech demo come with a paper or source code? (I didn't see either.) I'm interested in techniques, particularly neural network-related, to improve the quality of my Donald Trump text to speech engine [1].

Does anyone on HN do active research in this field? Could I pick your brain for a survey of the best papers (especially review papers) on the subject?

Nobody can call the new Macbook Pro "best in class" when they don't even ship with the best in class GPUs from Nvidia.

These machines are essentially build beautiful traps. So, please don't give Apple your money. You don't need the most recent Macbook Pro. Just wait 6 months and buy a used one. Please don't support a company that actively works against you in order to secure their infamous 40% profit margin for doing nothing more than severely limiting your choices.

I always buy used or third-party refurbished Apple equipment and I avoid buying apps from either of their app stores. I hope you do the same.
I have an "old" MBP 13'' from 2013. Works just fine for me, I'm sure I can get another 2 or 3 years with it. If I had to replace it now I would go either with a new System76 Lemur, or a Dell XPS 13. I'm a big fan of 13 inch screens since I'm always on the move.

Not really sure what you want to know re: configuration.
