Trump supporters attacked:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=trump+supporter... (Just some of the Trump supporters attacked)

There were some stories popping up that minorities were also being attacked after the election. However, so many of them turned out to be made-up/fake, It's really difficult to believe that it's happening at any elevated level (especially with almost no video proof besides what someone said).

http://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-bans-fake-news-sites-fr... (fake news sites banned from Facebook)

Fake news sites are banned from FB advertising, yet they only seem to be right-leaning. Sites like the Huffingtonpost, which has some of the most click-baity and outright fake news stories I've ever seen still gets to post their sludge on FB and get paid for it.

I don't see any of the censoring happening with violent and vocal BLM supporters that call for the death of white people and police officers. In fact, Jack Dorsey is good friends with one of the leaders of the movement.

Examples: http://hypeline.org/minutes-after-dallas-shooting-blm-radica...

These are just a small sampling of the censoring and violence that has been happening before and after the election.

It's relevant because people get fired and companies get boycotted over a highly politicized interpretation of the results, which actually is usually do to many other factors.

This thought policing stops, however, when it involves something like the abuse and silencing of a political opponent or someone you don't support.

I didn't even mention all of the Wikileaks that showed that almost everyone in the mainstream media was conspiring against Trump, Sanders, and all political opponents of HRC.
As you point out, it's usually fairly straightforward to calculate the costs attached to a given tree.

When you say you're not convinced that it's possible to be really sure you've captured all of the benefits, do you mean captured their exact value? Or a hard upper bound of such? Or a soft upper bound with a given confidence interval? Or even just enumerated all of the benefits?

I think calculating an upper bound with confidence interval for the value of a tree in a city would be a really interesting exercise. To do it properly you'd have to account for everything from tangible benefits (shade, reduced CO2) to vague generalities such as residents who "feel happier living in a city with lots of trees". I think it'd be possible, but definitely not trivial.
Can you talk about some of the challenges integrating kinvey and stripe? Seems like if you can setup a webhook on kinvey for stripe to call, that's about all you'd need?
Ah yes, I would probably not call that a mystical experience per se then; more like a stroke of insight. Thanks for sharing the entire quote.
"When for children it is also the time in which they develop socially."

You mean by being bullied so much that "pulling a columbine" looks like a good idea?

Yeah, that "developed" really well.
>VW made a bad bet on bad Diesel technology

No they made a bet on their employees, like all companies do, and it turned out bad. The diesel technology works, we tested them extensively in typical testing conditions and we accepted the vehicles. That there was deception in the company to hide that efficiency and power are different sides of the same coin isn't a failure in diesel technology.

Known abuse happens through their service, and they shield the offending party. You like all of those Viagra spam emails? You like the scams run against vulnerable people? That's not net neutrality. If CloudFlare was an above-board player they would take steps to stop this abuse traversing their services when they are brought to their attention. Instead, they know about the abuse and give the big middle finger to those who report it to them.
Nitpick: DUAL_EC was adopted despite cryptographer's complaints; I don't think there any cryptographers vociferously supporting it.

I do agree that learning crypto is a good thing, because it gives you an idea of what your primitives should do, and when it is appropriate to use them. People should always refrain from using their own home-grown crypto, however.
I'm not sure why anyone uses Facebook anymore. I think a better plugin would be to remove any posts that contain remote content.

I suppose sharing of mitochondria would explain why the number of glial cells corresponds linearly to brain volume rather than scaling with the number of neurons. When you think about it extremely long cells like neurons do have a problem with control and intra-cellular tranfer of organelles would solve a lot of problems. I'm not at all sure about other aspects of that article but it's in the nature of man to be mistaken about some things while they are correct about others.

I've also been surprised to read about genetic differences between brain cells recently that are as large as the genetic differences between immune cells and far larger than the normal sort of somatic mosaicism you get by typical errors copying that you see in other organs.

This is both true and dangerous advice.

You must listen to your customers, but then you must conceptualize their needs, prioritize them, and think about how to solve those needs well.

There is nothing worse than a "Christmas tree product" where every customer has hung some requirement and there is no conceptual unity or design. Loads of "enterprise" products are hairballs like this.

TL;DR: It's not listen -> implement. It's listen -> THINK -> implement.

From everything I've read, the handshake deal on the show is meaningless. After the show the investors do real due diligence, and not every deal works out.

"First of all, the handshake deal that happens on the show isn't anything binding. Filming for each season is split over the start of the summer and the start of the fall. After each round, the Sharks and their teams do due diligence on each of the companies to ensure that everything within the company is how it was represented in the pitch room.

There are times when the numbers check out, but the entrepreneurs decide they no longer want to make a deal, such as when the founders of evREwares decided they weren't actually willing to sell 100% of their struggling company to Cuban for $200,000 as they agreed to in season six.

Ultimately, said Cuban's fellow Shark Daymond John, about 80% of season seven's deals made on camera closed, which is up from about 60% to 70% of past seasons."

Clearly, they are part of the problem. Perhaps even symbolicly the problem(s) itself.
There is some evidence:

For example this study shows that home schooled children are significantly less likely to drink or do drugs

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4652803/

but I will admit that studies comparing home school children to public school children are too few and far between to draw meaningful scientific conclusions. Also the large numbers of religious homeschoolers throws the numbers off.

I'm just relying on reasoning. A child who spends most of their time being raised by their parents is in a much better position to avoid negative outcomes than those raised by a paid supervisor, no matter how well qualified. Love makes a difference, parents love their children, teachers, while no doubt caring, don't have the same love and definitely lack the resources to provide the same individualized attention.

Further, public school, due to powerful teachers unions and parent counsels are anything but meritocracies. The good teachers are not always the ones that thrive and rise to the top.

Trump got way more votes than Romney did, nearly as many as Obama 2012, despite considerably more third party votes. Overall turnout was higher than 2012 too.

> A startup is usually expected to start profiting after 5 years and Uber is just far from that

There's obviously no hard-and-fast rule about 5 years. Other people value companies differently from you and have greater risk appetite. It's pretty normal for people to have different views on such things (like the morality of various tax arrangements!); that's not evidence of corruption.

That's not where it came from, that's where it currently is (according to you). Even so, a tax heaven is not the same as money that needs laundering.
rq is super great, it's been indespsible for me while working with CBOR. It's also way more useful than jq if you want to filter down your data. Some examples:

~> curl -s http://httpbin.org/ip | rq
{
"origin": "184.100.112.11"
}
~> curl -s http://httpbin.org/ip | rq 'at origin'
"184.100.112.11"
~> curl -s http://httpbin.org/ip | rq 'at origin | split "." | spread | drop 3'
"11"
~> curl -s http://httpbin.org/ip | rq -C
?foriginn184.100.112.11⏎

(These are a bit contrived, but that was the only public API that returns JSON I could think of.)

The only thing I haven't figured out is how to unquote string elements once filtered down to just that string.
democracy being the best choice is so ingrained in us from childhood, questioning it becomes painful. its like finding out about santa. cognitive dissonance comes into play, and any critical thinking is squashed. its hard for people to even question democracy in a hypothetical environment, it being the fairest is almost established as a basic law of physics.

even the title of the article ... "lost faith" seems to imply its a bad thing to question democracy.
Please look at https://www.plasticscm.com/version-control-for-games.html

We are. 2 man team and have our own hackeneyed way, some in house bunch of Python scripts to build our game assets. As we do this seriously as a hobby it works :). But now we are at a stage where the 2 games are coming along well and to go full hog, I would choose plastic.

It has integration with Unity and gutsync as well so migration is easy and with 7$ pm cloud plans for 5gb assets works for us.

Last when I had checked plastic it was out of reach out hobbyist / indie game devs. Hope this helps.
To be fair, a "transaction" here is probably a lot more complex than people give credit. Healthcare is a very sophisticated beast... it's a huge many to many problem, and though people keep trying to "standardize" details always prevail.
Paragraph "Development" (page 14 in the current version) answers your question:

"The entire Crypto 101 project is publicly developed on GitHub under the crypto101 organization, including this book: https://github.com/crypto101/book "

[...]

"The copy of this book that you are reading right now is based on the git commit with hash 3f89ec3 , also known as 0.4.0-22-g3f89ec3"

Then, looking at the commits, yes the book changed a lot since 2014: https://github.com/crypto101/book/commits/master
I am reposting this as, for whatever reason, JMESPath is not as popular as it should be. By the way, you can embed JMESPath queries out of the box in AWS CLI [0] via the --query switch.

> Two kids exchanging fire in the parking lot? Not so much.

Uh, no. Discharging fire arms at or around a school is taken incredibly seriously pretty much universally. Doing something like this would be more than enough for hard jail time.

This happened at my school while I was in high school (late at night, and had nothing to do with school -- it was just a shooting that by pure chance happened to take place right next to the school -- neither of the people involved were from the community or even school aged). There was a huge police investigation and the shooter was caught within days of the shooting.

e: If you think "two kids exchanging fire in the parking lot" is an example of tolerated behavior at schools, you should take it as an indication that you have a wildly inaccurate mental model of what schools are like.
Ask HN: What data do 'Snapshot' devices (auto insurance) actually collect?
In addition to the general question above, I am curious about data where the incentives might be mis-aligned with driver safety.

For example, I was told by my insurance company that they collect breaking information. Does that mean if I never stop, running all stop signs and red lights, my driving will "look better" to the insurance company?
And you think the B.S. detector was blocked quickly. There would be a pure vacuum left in the internet due to the quickness with which a third party remover would disappear.

I expect Facebook is saturated and or declining in the US due to excess BS. A few years ago it was rare that I would find a "fb free" person. Now it is much more common (maybe as much my age group as fb though).
Not a formal or philosophical thing, he's just used to feature development, and/or working on somewhat isolated things. Building out code on a project wide level, so it can have features built into it, is just a level larger than what he used to be comfortable with, I think. And also, framework building doesn't have ui design component, which is something he enjoys.
Ooh, he's playing the cynicism angle--that's a hot market right now. Very huge potential for profit.
A plugin like this would make FB usable again. Too bad it would get blocked asap.

I can't comment on the validity of Scott Adams claims on being censored, but he wrote a long post about it. His claim isn't that the posts never appear, but that is there was a singular point in time when his 'influence' acutely decreased. I imagine twitter has a 'relevancy' number that is required for a tweet to appear on a timeline, I suppose this could be done by upping the required relevancy for the 'lightly censored' users.
Probably not. The rest of your app aside, in the vast majority of cases, if you care about the file size you're optimizing the wrong thing (barring certain extremes of course).
jq is awesome, but what stands out to me in the article is the use of curl. You can shrink those ~200 bytes of curl by 2/3rds using HTTPie(https://httpie.org/):

HTTPie and jq go together like peanut butter and chocolate, except without the caloric bloat.

I guess I'm trying to differentiate hard values from soft. Hard values typically show a more direct path between the product and the action making that product.

Sure, XML-RPC not the best protocol. Compared to others it's pretty simple, and the mess and number of edge cases is smaller than SSL or TCP/IP.

If C isn't up to implementing an only slightly complicated network protocol, it's not much of a systems programming language, is it?

It turns out, C is fine for writing such systems and getting them working fairly well, but very poor at making them really reliable and secure, and that's no longer a good tradeoff.

I work from home and see this on a regular basis. During the day time when all my neighbors are out at work or whatever, my internet is usually pretty close to advertised speeds. But on evenings and weekends, the speed drops like a rock.

Windstream DSL is the only wired option available where I live, there isn't a cable provider - the closest I could get was someone at Time Warner estimating that it would cost over $20k to wire up my neighborhood and that they probably wouldn't be willing to spend it.

From the original article: " Which is why we still, today, have extremely popular languages maintaining compatibility with a language from 1969 — so old that it probably couldn’t get a programming job."

Yikes! How about "old enough to have a crapton of experience I'd really like to learn from/integrate with my company"? I know there is ageism in this industry (towards both people and tools), but sometimes the cavalierness with which people throw out the idea that "old == bad" and "good == new" comes as a shock.

And besides that, shouldn't we be proud of half a century of stability and compatability? Isn't "well-designed systems that stand the test of time" a holy grail to reach for, rather than poke fun at?
