I agree that the Democrats made their bed on that one, but they were at least holding hearings for most of Bush's senior nominees rather than trying to obstruct all his appointments. The refusal to even hear a supreme Court nominee this year shocked me. It would be understandable if Scalia had died close to the election but his seat has been empty for nearly a year now.
mach is the entry point of the build system. mach build builds it, mach bootstrap fetches prerequisites.

Solar+wind don't have to provide 100% of the mix. They has to reduce the daytime fossil fuel generation.
So its not targeted towards making "pages" more towards just making HTML5 banners. I guess just trying to replace flash banners with HTML5 ones

The templates are all for banners and the tools for making say a "div" are not there.
That's what he was saying he'd do a week ago. The Senate convened on Saturday without acting on Rosenworcel (http://www.politico.com/tipsheets/morning-tech/2016/12/tech-...) and Wheeler quit anyway, so Trump gets a 2-1 majority to start his term.
I'm inclined to ignore this as another game hitch hiking on the Mario name.

Have we reached 200 yet?
To be fair, facebook can, if it wants, put full blown nazi propaganda on their network and delete anything anti-nazi. Of course just because it's legal for a company to do that doesn't mean it's ethical and okay and we should just accept it. Similarly, while it's perfectly legal or facebook to select news stories to try and politically influence it's users, that would be highly unethical.

To be fair to facebook though, reddit has been actively caught doing this repeatedly so I don't know why everyone is harping on facebook instead of reddit.
Personally I think age discrimination laws are dumb. People who don't want to hire someone my age will find a reason to select younger candidates. I'd rather have it right there in the job req so I don't waste my time pursuing opportunities that aren't there.
For air conditioning, one solution is to make ice when electricity is cheap, and then use that for cooling. Here's an example unit:

https://www.ice-energy.com/

This concept dates back to the 1950s. The usual application then was to cool during the day using electricity delivered at night; now it's flipped, and you can make ice during the solar peak for cooling the rest of the day.
Would you pay for a publication that maintained something along these lines but for a variety of topics - energy technology, human lifespan, US healthcare systems, etc?

Assume that the pieces are well researched and the journalists have domain expertise, paired with deep reading of primary texts.
Ask HN: Why doesn't Google open up an API for Inbox?
I quite like Google Inbox, I really like the way there's the ability to create tasks (reminders) and sleep emails for a period of time.

It's the reminders functionality I'm most interested in though. I don't have a nice solution currently for managing a TO-DO list which works everywhere. I'm currently experimenting with Taskwarrior [1], but what I'd really like would be to interact with the Google Inbox reminders API, if such a thing existed.

So - my question - Why would Google not open up an API for this? Support & maintenance issues? Not that invested and it'll be another Google Reader at some point? Shame, I'd love to build some integrations.

If the machine is silently compromised, moving the private key one step away doesn't matter much; kryptonite will serve the signature regardless, and the attacker can cherry pick the active session keys. Yes, it's a partial break, but given the fact that the private key can be stolen from the phone too, using kryptonite just increased the attack surface overall.

Ofering no private key backup isn't a simple matter of 'just reupload your public key'. This works for services that have parallel user/pwd backup, but it stops there.

How do you stop the auto upload of the key to Apple/Google if the user has a global app data backup sync?

Overall, interesting concept, but perhaps rebrand the product to dodge the above and various others holes in the design?

Maybe advertise this as a convenience SSH sign on?

Please explain why you think this is of value. To me it seems like an explicit vs implicit thing; and I can easily imagine people not wanting their build step to magically touch their system setup. I have a pretty custom Rust setup, I would not be happy if Firefox would silently change that every time I built things.
You are a general intelligence ,but do you know why you are intelligent ?.Since you cant explain your own intelligence you cant improve on it, no such issues for AI unless its built using NN.
The meaning of a score is relative to the candidate pool in actual practice. This is not an issue in score runoff at all.

0 means "as bad as any candidate in this pool gets" and 9 means "as great as
any candidate in the pool gets".

There's NO need AT ALL for there to be some broader meaning.
Oh sure, a little bit. But then I'd be wondering about what if I'd done things the way I actually did them, so maybe I'm regretting that in some other time stream. I try to be stoic about it.

It really comes down to whether you have more of a drive to be happy or to be right. On bad days I often wish I'd opted for the former, but I enjoy cultivating my inner garden and it gives me pleasure to see ideas grow over time.

I am hugely skeptical that this ever happens. Do you have any evidence?

I believe no VC is going to invest $50 million dollars purely in hope of vaguely helping the rest of their portfolio. While at the same time vaguely helping every other startup in existence, thus negating any advantage that might accrue to their own companies.
I've tried a few different headsets with different control schemes, and I don't think it's even the immersion that's the problem. It's the motion sickness. If you're not walking, but your view is, that's a problem.
Depends on the OSX version on the Mac. Apple used to support RODBC's required libraries until recent years. Part of the problem with that RODBC package was that it was written prior to the cessation of OSX library support and continuity of RODBC package support was (is?) spotty.
Handles Chinese well, but Baidu still seems superior. At least this is better than Youdao though, and has an English UI.
Because Google isn't good at dealing with people, and running fiber to homes in the bay area means dealing with lots of cities, counties, the california public utilities commission, and probably more. See public spats between Google and pole owners in other states about drawings not to spec etc, and consider recent CPUC reports on improper pole loading leading to a major fire in Malibu in 2007, and major power outages in a 2011 windstorm: the pole owners are going to be very picky.

Also, consider that AT&T started rolling out their fiber to the home not too long after Google announced cities in the bay area, and AT&T is actually servicing homes, but Google isn't. I don't know what uptake Google was expecting to get in San Jose, but they're probably not going to get it if customers are already passed by AT&T Fiber and may already be serviced by AT&T. (Incidentally, inducing the market to offer 1G probably fulfills Google's goals for deploying fiber anyway)
Wow. It's awesome. I have never been seen project like this before. It seems very useful. Anyway, I think it would be better if they demonstrate the example of usage using asciinema [1].

I was hoping this would be like pokemon Go and push the trend of getting people out of the house. That's what the ad had me infer. Pokemon Go ---> Super Mario Run
any time a problem of this magnitude hasn't been solved AND you think the answer is 'blindingly obvious', consider that you don't fully grok the problem. I've been in healthcare analytics for 10+ years and it's incredibly difficult to measure outcomes. Take your example of 3 year outcomes, are you saying that the entire reason why someone is alive is because of the hospital they went to 3 years ago? There are so many confounding variables that even trying to measure outcomes 90 days out is difficult.

On top of that, the other commenter mentioned the unintended consequences of simplistic measurements like the one you describe. Look at measuring patient satisfaction - 'what could possibly be wrong with measuring patient satisfaction', people say! hold docs/hospitals/etc. accountable. but when you look at the data, patient satisfaction scores are weakly correlated with evidence based care and healthy outcomes but it is strongly correlated with things like how much time the patient sat in the waiting room or if the doctor prescribed them a medication.

The cognitive dissonance is now everywhere. It permeates our systems.

But you can build something smarter than yourself (or at least that's what we think we can do)... So this new entity, smarter than us, might be even better at building something smarter than itself...
What about a global power grid? Whichever side is receiving sunlight would power the other side of the Earth. We've already got communication cables running worldwide, couldn't we add cables for transmitting power? Perhaps, electric cables will weigh orders of magnitude than optic fiber comm links, but would it be infeasible?

What's the appeal?

You say you spent $10 on a game that you beat in an hour. I get that there's replayability but there's only so much in a game like that.

If I really wanted to play Mario I could go home and play it on dozens of different devices on a nice TV while resting comfortably instead of on a limited form factor in public where there's dozens of other things to do.

Much respect to Nintendo for making a good game, but it seems like a game that just exists because it can. No depth. What value do we get as consumers if we encourage the game industry to move further in this direction?

Ending aging will reverse this trend. The crisis then won't be population decline but the side effect of population growth.
Yeah, I thought about that and it definitely is an improvement, but IMHO it still suffers similar problems. In practice, you won't just have logging; you'll add grpc Metadata, user info and whatnot and each thing will slow down all the other things. Is my intuition. I'm skeptical of saving any data in context, for that reason (and this skepticism has prevented me from finishing my ctx-logging-package, that does exactly what you describe :) ).

I'd just like to see good'ol'benchmarks that this is not a problem, before I trust the Context for data :)

I am struck by how similar this is to knowing how to choose a good school for your children.
That's what I've always wondered. What the hell are those things doing with these resources? I mean if you take a step back and just look at what their purpose is - operating a light switch or reading the temperature - the amount of resources they use seems ridiculous.

I've been tinkering with the ESP8266 and it's got 64k RAM and that seems enough to get a TCP/IP stack, WiFi and even a simple web server.
You have to update the C++ compiler on your own, too. And the libc headers.

As an anecdote, I was called into a meeting with the CTO of a fairly large European bank, and a sales guy from GitHub a couple of month ago.

I got the feeling that they are selling rather aggressively right now.
They made a code-of-conduct. It pandered too strongly to the list-every-under-privileged-class attitude including explicitly rejecting the concept of "reverse discrimination" and so the reactionary folks who want to insist they aren't sexist and hate any moralizing or politics that challenge them etc. got up in arms. It was all a stupid side-show and had nothing to do with anything that matters to GitHub's basic services or business model. Most people never noticed either way.
I wish I could see the output of the translation. It's one thing to see your own language typed on screen, but the point of the tool is translation. I'm good enough in Chinese that I can tell if the translation function has gone haywire.

Quake is referred to as 'old' now? But it came out only - oh darn, two decades ago. Man there are young adults there for whom real time 3D graphics on the PC have existed through their whole life. Ok, I feel older now :)
This already happens in the form of the employer-employee relationship.
It wouldn't touch their system setup--that's the point.

You get reproducible builds because the build happens in its own sandbox, ideally. But it's not absolute.

There's a continuum here: it's not awesome to have builds from source for every library if you know you're building inside a defined Docker image, for example.
Because developers like GitHub?
This was a very convenient way to share files because links were direct. Some people even used the public folder to host small static sites.

Interestingly their help site lists the change as March 15, 2016 instead of 2017, but perhaps they got all the dates wrong there [1]. At least I got the same email.

As long as this version of android stays as open as regular android I think I'll be happy.

It is super sad that Mozilla decided to leave this space though (even if trying to pivot FirefoxOS was nothing but trying to buy time). Wish there was a less insidious company trying to get into all my devices.

Also, why "Weave" instead of just using Thread? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(network_protocol) )

[EDIT] - It looks like Weave IS built on Thread, though it's a little sad that it took me so long to figure it out:

https://www.silabs.com/products/wireless/Pages/nest-weave-th...

My knowledge of the Thread Group's management/scheme layout was lacking, it looks like it's INTENDED that thread is meant to be below one layer of abstraction, managed by different vendors (sillicon labs, nxp, etc)
Ideas to Rock Your Christmas Wedding with a Punch of Cool Winters
I thought, "ok let's try this..." hovered over the green button and then WOAH! "Download Web Designer Beta" wtf.. DOWNLOAD? Are we back in the 90s?
Likewise, but is not true for most using a translator. Baidu does a good job of showing you how they built the translation with key words listed aside from the translation, whereas this app wins with including pinyin. Both good, but I still think Baidu translations are a bit more sound. Maybe just a preference though?
But that is really hard to understand for a non-specialist. Means nothing at all for me.
Excellence comes only from competition.

I reject that premise as overbroad and dismissive of historical examples of artificially limited supply (eg craft guilds) or other arbitrary constraints which nevertheless resulted in high output quality, and I could point to examples of that in nature too.

You're inborn desire to find equality is beaten by natures desire for fitness

This sounds like a very individualist approach to evolution though. I think there's good reasons to consider the idea of humans as eusocial animals that can operate as individuals but are biologically driven to group up, and that groups themselves are distributed organisms capable of collective thought.

It's not that I'm against individualism, but I'm saying that there may well be selection pressures that do favor altruistic behavior, and there's certainly research documenting its persistence in the wild. Finally, it's rather odd that you talk of an 'inborn' desire but then contrast it with 'nature.' I feel you view of this topic is a little simplistic.
So all of my network-aware things are now going to have an excuse to demand internet connectivity so they can dial Google on a regular basis? I'm not sure that's worth the tradeoff.
Wrong. I don't even need to cite Snowden slides, congressional testimony will be sufficient:

> Turns out the data collection is not so limited. In testimony yesterday before the House Judiciary Committee, National Security Agency Deputy Director Chris Inglis said that the NSA’s probing of data in search of terrorist activity extended “two to three hops” away from suspected terrorists. Previously, NSA leaders had said surveillance was limited to only two “hops” from a suspect.

> Inglis said that the NSA looks at two to three hops from a suspect. To determine how many hops you are from Osama, for example, the NSA’s data analysis engine software constantly plows through information and builds a model of all the relationships between every phone number on record and every IP address. Other software robots query the graph to discover which “nodes”—phone numbers, IP addresses and email accounts—fall within three degrees of separation from an established suspect.

> If you have a direct relationship with a suspected terrorist or target (you’ve called them, you’ve emailed them, you’ve visited their website) that’s a “one hop” relationship; there’s a solid line connecting you to that person in the NSA’s relationship graph. If you talk with, e-mail, or visit the Facebook page or website of someone who’s got a one-hop relationship, you’re two hops away. Add one more person in between in the graph, and you’re three hops away.

> Under the NSA’s FISA requests, Google, Microsoft, and other Internet services companies can be compelled to hand over relevant data from their servers on any account that falls within the three-hop range and is flagged as belonging to a person of interest. If you’ve won this lottery, the NSA will get access to your e-mails on Gmail or Outlook.com as well as your chats and Web-stored contacts, your documents, your synced data from computers and mobile devices, your backups, and anything else that can be handed over—at least, so the documents Snowden leaked imply.

> Your raw Internet traffic will get more attention as well. Your IP address will be watched more carefully by deep packet inspection hardware at the NSA’s 'Net taps, and what you do online will get extra scrutiny.

I'm not sure if you're just a casual spectator, willfully spreading disinformation, or inclined to ignorance but the boogeyman dismissive posturing boat has long sailed. PRISM's only purpose is to fill in the gaps of passive collection by directly sourcing data, otherwise it comes in primarily from submarine wiretaps and the multitude of other various passive collection sources. Or associated five eyes programs.

And yes FISA warrants include 3 hops and if you know anything about the Internet you know that is a hell of a lot of data for a single warrant. And public data shows the FISA court only deny around 0.1% of warrant requests. Even rubber stamps have to pretend they are doing their job.
What You Are Too Afraid to Ask About Artificial Intelligence: Technologies
That's a good point. The best thing about technology is that it makes experimentation more practical without vast resources, eg the 3d printed magnets I mentioned earlier.

Last 10 years I am in the business of making WYSIWYG editors of various kinds. Yet I am an author of BlockNote.net HTML WYSIWYG editor (it is pretty old but works up until W7).

HTML/CSS WYSIWYG editing from mathematician point of view:

Second main task of a browser is: by having given HTML/CSS to produce set of pixels on window's surface.

On other side WYSIWYG editor is aimed to solve opposite task: from desired set of pixels (those ones you want to get) to restore/produce acceptable HTML/CSS combination.

The problem is that the task can be accomplished only with pure HTML. As soon as you add CSS to the equation acceptable WYSIWYG becomes barely possible: the same set of pixels (rendering on the screen) can be achieved in many different ways. Layout can use floats, absolute positioning, flexes and grids recently, etc.

Direct task (rendering) is perfectly formalize-able and solvable (HTML5 and CSS specs) - we have at least three independent implementations of these formalizations.

But opposite task (HTML/CSS structure synthesis from given image) has no determined solution.

And so different WYSIWYG systems use different approximations.

Like Microsoft Word, it produces HTML/CSS documents that are pretty close to what you just saw in it, but that HTML/CSS is barely readable and reusable as HTML/CSS.
Others produce readable HTML but rendering is far from what you want to see.

Therefore "ideal" WYSIWYG editing of HTML/CSS is not achieavable in principle. You need to give up something - either WYSIWYG quality per se or feature set.
Like you can have WYSIWYG editing but for editable text alike islands: content area of your blog site for example.

Well, a fair few smart TV functions only work if you allow the TV to phone home (and agree to them using the built-in mic and camera to capture and upload audio and video at any time and use it for any purpose).

This is another step beyond that, where your light bulbs have to phone home to Google and to their manufacturer.
