> A young man approached me. He said, ”I know you’re faking it because I am an actor.” And then he acted like someone acting like they have Tourette’s.

As a sufferer of Tourrette's, this makes my blood absolutely boil. I grew up among relatively supportive individuals, so I never had to experience this level of blatant, ignorant naiveté. Never did I realize that sufferers still have to deal with this unnecessary torment. You'd think that social media would expand peoples' knowledge, open mindedness, etc, but clearly we have a ways to go.
> the individual states were essentially their own countries with individual governments and leadership

The debate over the scope of the federal government dates back to before the end of the revolutionary war, and was a central topic of debate in the drafting and ratification process for the Constitution.

Remember that our first attempt at forming a country erred toward a weaker federal government, and was more-or-less an abject failure.

> Where is it stated exactly what the purpose of the electoral college was, in the Founding Fathers' own words?

Federalist 68, in which almost every argument makes literally no sense when compared to direct democracy.

That paper is mostly arguing for the electoral college over e.g. the "Governors" or "congressional" plans, leaving the infeasibility of direct election as a foregone conclusion.

A lot of founding fathers would've preferred a direct vote. See for example Anti Federalist 72. Using google you can also find quotes from Madison, for example, arguing that a direct vote would obviously be best.

Which begs the question: why not just do the obvious thing?

> The only way they could make the deal work with all of them was to ensure that no one state could "overrule" the others

Why don't we come out and be explicit about it -- the only way to make it work was the make sure that slave states were comfortable that they'd be able to retain political power while continuing to subjugate a huge portion of their population.

> If smaller states could be bullied by larger states, the term "united states" loses a quite a bit of its meaning.

Larger by what measure?

The slave states that were opposed to direct election and are today characterized as "rural" weren't actually significantly less populous than the northern states. Virginia -- a slave state -- was the most populous.

It's just that a huge number of their men were black, and so didn't count in a direct election.

So, the whole "rural / less populous states need a voice in presidential elections" thing is complete and utter horse shit. The actual issue was that "very populous states that choose to treat a big portion of the population as sub-humans need a vote controlled by whites but with power proportional to their entire population".

Fittingly, your inability to partake in conversations beyond the strictly literal, combined with your kneejerk Daily Mail style reactions, renders you exactly the target audience for "literature" on the level of Fifty Shades.
No, lip reading was just an single ability of the machine. What distinguished it was, at least apparent, consciousness about itself and desire for self preservation.

That doesn't solve the problem of verifiable votes. If you are able to verify your vote you can be coerced the verify it in the presence of someone else.
No, the point of the United States is to unite the states into a manageable single government. It is not to provide a direct action democracy to the people.

We give states a base number of votes for being a state,2 , then add them based on population. This means that smaller states get a boost in power vis a vis larger ones but that larger states still matter more. This is not a bad thing.

States provide the basic block upon which Government in the US rests. It is in our interests to provide states with more equal power at a national level than population would dictate.

If you pass a constitutional amendment to adjust voting laws you can enable exactly whatever you like though, for any of your more hyperbolic suggestions you would need to override many of the existing protections as well but if you wanted to be an asshole along with the rest of america there is no reason we could not do so using our existing legal framework.

The argument is not about rural versus urban but about the relative power of small versus large states. This isn't a historical issue but a simple legal one. States actually matter in the United States.
When I had to make the choice it was simple - with Braintree you needed your own card acquiring agreement (with the bank), with Stripe you didn't. I don't know if this still applies though.
I wonder if someone found and exploit on their network and did this for kicks, or maybe a disgruntled employee with enough access left in a time bomb before he or she was let go.
Thank you. Look forward to playing with / using this.

Somewhat unrelated, but for me this is another argument in favor of renting vs. buying. Sure, most people won't buy a super expensive condo in a super expensive city that happens to be sinking into the ground, but if you taken that $1.5m (they go for much more[0]) and put it into index funds instead, you could pay ~$5k/mo in rent forever and just leave when problems arise.

Regulation takes away freedom is simplistic libertarian drivel. According to that malarkey the 13th Amendment took away the freedoms of slaveholders:

place subject to their jurisdiction
I have mild Tourette's as well, mainly in the form of body and facial tics. While I had some challenges growing up (nobody knew why I did the things I did) I can't say it was as bad as this recounting. I am a bit younger though (33). I do agree that most people just think of Tourette's as uncontrollable swearing since that's mainly how it's represented on TV. It sucks, but I'm lucky that it's relatively mild and people I know don't seem to be bothered by it. I think it's very hard for many people to understand because it's so hard to put into words. Many people think it's involuntary, but when you tell them that it's in fact voluntary, but compulsory they tend to downplay it and wonder why you just don't stop. Anyway, great article cheers.

Google has essentially the same relationship with the US government. It's departure from China had more to do with this than any high mindedness.
Honestly, it isn't. But I'm waiting until I can sort somethings that are related to my kid so he doesn't have to suffer. After that, I think I'll be out, but until then, I need to 'put up' with it for his sake.

The question I've had is why didn't reddit SREs stop the DB edits as an attack. Even using valid creds, the queries should've been anomalies and logging should've picked up the unusual access pattern.

There's three possibilities that come to me:

1. The CEO explicitly told reliability/security staff to ignore his edits. Policy fail of epic proportions.

2. The edits were performed using designed tools and queries, which means reddit had before now intended to make silent edits to user data as part of regular business.

3. Reddit lacks the internal safeguards to know if user data was unexpectedly written to. This option is dangerous to hosting code on reddit, because an attacker could silently, maliciously change examples without reddit ever detecting the damage (or users seeing an edit mark).

I expect that we're in case 2, followed by 3 and then 1 (in terms of likelihood), but none of the ways that a large tech company could have this happen are reassuring about P&P at reddit, or make me want to rely on them for hosting a community.
Every six months or so I start to wonder about my setup and how it compares to others and I try hunting down this site. It's surprisingly tricky to find if you don't remember the URL.
Twitter does censor stuff, and that's not a good thing. I mean no, you shouldn't be a bully/asshole/send death treats and that's a horrible thing to do; but the censoring and removing posts of people you don't like starts to create an echo chamber. People with non-hateful grievances can have their posts swept up in the same net.

When people are anonymous, they tend to be more candid about what's really deep down inside. The solution isn't to create A.I.s to censor everything. The tweets are a symptom of frustration in society. The real problem is much more difficult to fix.
The way I read it, the answer is more likely yes, but it's not confirmed yet, as it takes 5 yaers to get the first crop. This seems to be one of the precious few cases where Betteridge's law doesn't apply; the question mark is there simply because there is still a question, but all available information points to a positive outcome. Not to mention this is New York Times.
Yeah, but how are we going to reheat and spin up the core?
The founders also strongly opposed people who didn't own land from having a vote either. They're also all dead and have been for a couple hundred years.
"Even we had/were to go through IP level walled-garden/subnets, the world would have set on non-discriminating Internet."

It still hasn't to this day in private services. They almost all wall off whatever they build. Those that build connections charge out the ass for them with all kinds of restrictions and schemes. Many get acquired and then crippled.

You need to justify your assumption with evidence from the IT market. Vast majority of it works against your expectation. Further, something like the Internet would require vast majority working for that expectation.

"Think of this way, what Govt. created/helped-created intially was a local network and only after thousands of ISPs coming together, not because of incentives from Govt, but because of demand we have the Internet as we know now."

It was actually a combo of military needing survivable, distributed comms with universities needing to collaborate with groups that were basically self-less and highly cooperative at the time. There were private parties trying to do their thing with their self interests even at that time. It was called OSI and circuit-based lines. One failed entirely, the other isn't what Internet was built on, and itself diminished over time in favor of faster, packet-switched lines. Even in ideal environment the incentives of businesses killed their opportunity while incentives of groups not motivated by profit led to Internet.

"Facebook, Slack, HTML, IRC != Internet. Question"

They make up vast majority of Internet traffic along with Netflix and Google. That makes them the Internet experience for most people. A lot of the rest is walled garden apps on mobile. Sites and services purely building on Internet technology, like IRC networks or FTP servers, are barely used because private parties rarely invest in them. It's simply too easy to escape lock-in that way. We can't throw out how 99% of people and products use the Internet when discussing Internet regulations or issues.

"I am not aware of any IP level walled-garden. "

You should look up ISP's like Comcast policies on web servers or SMTP ports. Stuff exists even at that level to serve the monetary interests of private market. Most of the walled gardens are built on top of the Internet protocols with ecosystem effect meaning you have to work within them to reach users they hit with First Mover advantage in new markets.

What's the chance of this happening to a random person? I don't know, it depends of if someone has an axe to grind I guess.

In that sense you might be right, in terms of picking a concrete thing that has happened to a person, or someone they know to make this less abstract, this might not be the best approach.
Isn't this amazing? My wife still uses Facebook, and I think she thinks I'm just trying to be like a pushy vegan when I say life's better with no Facebook.

In general I have tried to remove myself from things that keep my attention on my phone rather than what's going on around me. Now I sort of get frustrated when people ask me what they missed or what just happened in the real world while they were glancing down.

I have friends and family who I think have completely forgotten what's it like to just be a passenger in a car watching the world go by, because if they're not driving they're looking at Facebook or Instagram.

I have, for the first time in 5 years, yesterday I opened up to someone with all of this. People around me know she has 'problems' but not what I'm going through or how I feel. As for my wife, we've talked about this many times, but due to her illness, even if she tries to take the load off my back, it just doesn't work and things go back to 'normal' in a few days. I rather have this so-so state even though I'm in pain and exhausted, but at least my son doesn't suffer for it than put more responsibility on her so I can get better and have my son be the victim of it.
Moving your community to another platform which has a better history of respecting their users isn't metaphorically similar to burning your house down. Its more like immigrating to Canada because Trump won.

I've used both extensively and in our mobile apps, we've switched back and forth. Stripe is noticeably easier to implement on mobile (including Apple Pay). Maybe not an order of magnitude easier but close. Part of the reason is that Stripe's documentation is much better.

I'm not saying that's a deal-breaker–and I do think Braintree does have an advantage in some areas–but I'm just attempting to answer your question.

Braintree/PayPal really needs to hire a serious UX/frontend team to clean up their docs and dashboards (monospaced font srsly?).
If it was $5b in 2006 and $10b in 2016 then you can speculate how often they raise it. Your prediction that $1 million would turn into $4.5b, and the fact that the fund sits at $10b clearly indicates they distribute profits more than they raise the cap.

I like that vouch goal, sounds great!

Makes sense about releasing more stats - how about internally then? Could you take a look at the number of pro- and anti-YC stories that you've turned the system off for and see if it seems unbiased? Often it's easy to judge each story one by one and think you're being unbiased. But we're all biased. Going back and checking those stats may reveal something you didn't think was happening. Or not. Not as any kind of placation, but more as an internal quality check so you know you're on the right track.
Well, I somewhat disagree about that. State-level slicing is a reasonable approach because then the units of comparison are typically more similar in size. And there are several U.S. states (New Hampshíre, Hawaii, Vermont, Maine) that have a lower homicide rate than Belgium, Lichtenstein, Taiwan or Estonia.

(Yes, comparing rather marginal differences.)

However, Venezuela is on a completely different level. Moreover, murder rates in the US are heading downwards; they are half of 1980's numbers. Venezuela is radically up, almost ten times of 1980's numbers.
> 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. I would prefer that the lesson were: "Gosh! The President has too much power!"

Maybe I'm not understanding this fully but I don't follow the people saying that Clinton should have won because she got the most votes. If the rules said the winning party is the one with the most votes, the campaign strategies of each candidate would have been completely different. It sounds like moving the goal posts to me. It's like you agreed the team with the most goals is the winner beforehand but then after you lost you want to argue you should be the real winner because you had more possession of the ball.

When China does it they just do it without mentioning it.

When we do it, we announce it in the Queen's speech then have a law be published, read and voted through both Houses.

As much as I don't like it, an awful lot of other people either don't care or are fine with it. I wish the result was different but this is what you can get when you have a democracy. I absolutely would not want to swap the systems.

That's interesting. I'm in California, so not sure if this is an option.

I agree that this might burn bridges, so obviously that's something I'd need to reconsider. It also speaks volumes about the problems around technical interviews that simply asking how your performance on an exam was scored is a potentially career limiting act.

Keep in mind, this is a company that was involved in a clearly illegal wage-fixing scheme. I do think it's worth treading carefully here.

Tech has a long, long way to go.
> Of course not, how would you show the comments to visitors if they were encrypted?

By encrypting them with a key before storing them, and decrypting them before rendering them. It's not difficult, but could put additional load on the server.

Protecting access to the key would be more difficult, but it's possible with security tools. If it's a file, the idea would be to restrict access to the key to the service processes so a user on the system can't use it to encrypt their own entry. If it's an environment variable then you need to protect where that is inevitably stored and called. Then you restrict access to the database so its only accessible from specific production servers, and restrict access to the servers to only people who need the access. It's separation of duties.

But I get your point about the right person being in the right position. Separation of duties goes to hell when you've got a CEO who's a developer and also works in operations. You can't restrict his write access to production data while allowing him to work on the code. Even if your processes are in place, surely the CEO of a company can get around them.
That's funny! I do all my dev work in emacs so it doesn't matter to me if I'm working locally or using SSH. :) I was very against running VMs for development until I tried it again a few months ago.

Have you considered just keeping your code on the desktop and mounting it to your OSX host via NFS? I was doing this up until recently (was running Atom instead of emacs) and it worked really well. Might be an option if your latency is low enough.

I actually tried "desktop Linux" last weekend to see if I could just ditch OSX entirely. The first experience I had was that the mouse cursor in 16.10 does not move in the installer and livecd boot. I installed 16.04, played with a bunch of the desktop environments, and was ultimately unhappy with the feel of them. They're just too alien and inconsistent compared to OSX.

I'm probably just going to keep the current setup until this MBP dies, then I'll get whatever the best Mac Mini equivalent is (HP Z2, Intel Skull Canyon, etc.) and switch to Linux finally.
