Yes, these are things people do. But these things are each different from each other, and different from a petition.

Some of them are not centralized lists, and others are not calls to political action.

Meanwhile others are discriminatory, in that they distinguish those who have proven proficiencies, as capable practicioners of valuable skills.

Simply affirming a willingness to act in a certain way only means so much. Refusing to act means less. Indicating an intent to prevent others from acting is yet another behavior.

Advertising any political intentions, regardless of actual skills or rationale, may carry sentimental value, and that's nice, I guess.

Meanwhile the possession of technical skills, which rest on the firmament of electrified silicon substrates, with open-ended usage patterns, which may eventually lead to these objects ...behaving with some semblance of ...sentient free will? Deciding thier own ethics? In ways not obvious to the inventor?

> Not agreeing with people's apprehensions about Trump is one thing, but ignorance of why people are apprehensive isn't credible. I do not believe that you are cognizant of privacy issues but unable to see any qualitative difference between him and Obama (or HRC).

The specter of Trump has been there the entire time. The danger of mass data collection isn't merely the current President, it's that we have an election every four years.

Go start encrypting everything now. Better late than never. But all the things you sent unencrypted during Obama's presidency, that you didn't stop them from keeping, now Trump will have all of it.

That little bit reminded me of the anecdote of a asynchronous CPU performing slower when a cup of hot coffee was placed on it.

We're slowly power gating our way to clockless CPUs.
Look at it this way,

There is at least one lane on either side of the road at full capacity. Always bumper to bumper. But, the cars do not move save 2% of the time when their operators remove them from the traffic jam, I mean parking spot. There are 275,450 streetside parking spots in San Francisco city limits. Assuming a pooling of some drivers, and an increased utility of roads due to size & traffic flow then we can look forward to a net decrease of cars on roads and a net increase of available land for expanded sidewalks and bike paths.
It's not optional, whether you believe it helps or not. Incivility on HN will almost certainly result in your comments being taken less seriously (especially as they plummet down the page and are ultimately flagged), and will eventually just result in your account being banned.

That's happening consistently to the alt-righters I do see on HN. Why own-goal yourself by calling them names? Call out their arguments, flag their comments, but remain civil.

Regarding moderate Republicans: I think we're talking past each other, and that we agree. It's the specific language of the pledge that I think is tricky for them, not the substance of it.

> Quality sounds fine to me as well

I would happily bet any amount of money that I can tell the difference between my nice pair of IEMs and the stock apple ones every time. It's not the bluetooth transmission that's the problem, it's the actual sound producing hardware. Customers like you dwarf customers like me, so Apple and Beats don't bother to produce great sounding phones beyond a certain point--it even appears AirPods have basically stock earphone sound quality.

I would love the convenience of AirPods, just upgraded with nicer drivers, and would be willing to pay $400 for them. There just isn't a big enough market, so I'm left feeling the pain of people that fall outside of Apple's inner circle.

This is even more perplexing to me because Apple consistently puts screen quality as a very high priority. I'm just flabbergasted at how much they could be dropping the ball for audio.
There is the supremacy clause. If state and federal law conflict, then federal law is applied. The state government cannot flat out prohibit the federal government from implementing a federal law.

Both serious and hopeful. Serious in that I know the technology is already in vehicles being sold, hopeful in that it's use will expand.

The current application is to non-critical systems, so you aren't stranded if an update goes poorly. The idea is to learn from this and expand.

As far as I know, there is no plan to charge for over the air updates.

All of this arguing about PGP is just bike-shedding.

OpenPGP is not going to gain any traction if it continues in the same vein it's already been in for years. There's a reason that there's a lot of really smart people writing blog-posts saying that PGP sucks, and the reason for that is pretty straightforward: Using PGP sucks!

The article says we shouldn't completely neglect PGP going forward, and that I agree with, but it's certainly not what I'd call the best path, and most definitely not if it's not receiving traction from the major email vendor that is used for corporate mail: Microsoft.

Like it or not, Microsoft Outlook (and Exchange behind it) is not going away. It's the tool of choice by a large margin in almost every single company I've done any consulting work for -- not a small number.

There are many other things we should be doing. TLS mail should be supported everywhere. Google providing a deadline to stop accepting mail via non-transport-encrypted SMTP would be a good start. The second thing to do would probably be to promote S/MIME. It's not as "good" as PGP, but any level of encryption is a hell of a lot better than none in this instance, and to my knowledge almost all widely-used mail-clients already handle S/MIME just fine.
English does have a great many more sounds than Chinese, and very complicated grammar relative to any Asian language. (The tones make up, to some degree, for the paucity of sounds in Chinese.)

A native English speaker, I have always been perplexed by the tendency of foreigners to use "the" incorrectly. A space ship orbits "the Earth" but not "the Mars", for example. But then I tried to find a guide to using "the"...it is one of our most mysterious words.

In games where there's no way to 'export' real cash (at least not without breaking the TOS), does it matter? I can see the usefulness of the rule in that case (although I still don't think it should be a law), but here it's the difference between making one set of pixels appear on your screen vs another. Could an unbalanced/unfair/opaque game be less fun? Yes, for some players. But I have difficulty grasping why even an authoritarian regime feels it needs to regulate how fun a game is to play.
Wikipedia has its legitimacy problems like any other political entity. It's legitimate as an informational resource mostly for lack of real alternatives. It fills a need that no other resource does.

And political evolution is not political revolution. Sure, the 100th generation after ours won't care how a bill becomes a law, but that doesn't mean the underlying political truths are going to become obsolete.

Revolutions don't really change anything, they just shuffle things around on the surface. Things might evolve after the revolution, but it's by no means sure.
Do someone know how easy is to use this in your project without recompiling the OS and whatnot?

I really want some good threads.h implementation, but musl is Linux-only, and the others I found so far are kinda hacky and have some problems here and there. (usually messing up your #defines and #includes in unexpected ways).

I gave up reading the comments, but just wanted to say that not everyone thinks like the person who started the thread.

I mean, you know that, but I just wanted to come out and comment here, lest the OP thinks that things like having single-stall bathrooms and keeping your opinions of how others dress to yourself makes one a social extremists.

What can I say - I admire your patience, and glad that there are places where you are not forced to exercise it as often.
Unrelated point, but I would do anything (even put school on hold) just to be able to work with a mentor like you. Being a solo founder for niche Saas products is exactly what I aspire to be, and learning from someone who's been there and done that would be a terrific experience

did you consider using EMR and Hbase? its not very expensive to run a provisioned 3 node managed cluster.
Can't you just pick the product that does what you want? If you need a WAF, use their WAF, if you just need a load balancer, then use an ELB. If you need a data warehouse, use Redshift, if you just need to make simple queries against data stored in S3, use Athena.

Having a wide range of products at a variety of price points and capabilities sounds better than a "one size fits most" approach.
seriously? You think a company willing to violate ethics will stop at you saying to them "you can't hire somebody who will."? This is why I think such "code" has absolutely no power or leverage when it comes to employer-employee interactions.

Following the Second World War, but even before, there was massive world-wide investment in instruction in English; and it has worked its way into the infrastructure. Air traffic control is in English -- and in feet and knots -- all over the world, for example.

Centuries ago, the same thing happened with Chinese; and that is why a Chinese can visit Tokyo and find their way around the train station without knowing any Japanese. Maybe it can happen with Chinese again. Many Asian people learn a little Chinese; and more western people learn it now, too.
All of the comments from the account are in line with what is being said here -- that the complaints over battery life don't apply to everyone, this commenter is happy with it, and they recommend people to try it and form their own opinions. What exactly is "shilling" about that?

Nevertheless, calling someone a shill isn't useful, nor is bringing up the age of their account (ironic that yours is also low, and that I would point it out right now after saying such).

This still doesn't have great support for Windows, if that's what you're hoping.

Mostly to do with MSVC's odd approach to C99, that having it is nice, but not a goal, so not all supplied functions strictly conform to the standard.
I suspect that it's that you can manually select which tomatoes you want. It's a bit harder to select individual microbes.

So essentially, the difference between the trait you want, X, and the trait that survives, Y, doesn't exist. Every Y is an X, since generations of farmers are the ones manually doing the selection.
The interesting metric is how many of their employees are getting worried enough to take collective action. And that number is not negligible.

The entire VR community is not against them. Certainly some are. They have the best VR now (modulo large room scale experiences), which has helped them lately.
This part is very good advice:

When processing requests to establish and change memorized
secrets, verifiers SHALL compare the prospective secrets
against a list of known commonly-used, expected, and/or
compromised values.

So, no rotation, no character set rules, but the password better not be already known. They specifically refer to comparing against a corpus of known broken passwords. Very good.
The interesting aspect of NSLs to me has always been authentication. One gets a fax, and one faxes some crap back? Trivially hackable. One contacts the phone number listed on the NSL? Ditto. How difficult would it be for the Chinese or the Russians to slide in their own "NSL" in the 30K / year "legitimate" ones?

In fact the feds make it intentionally difficult to authenticate requests; for instance they prohibit taking copies of federal IDs, they often won't submit them for actual inspection, and they have no directory of employees to consult. If one wants to confirm that one is speaking to a bona fide FBI agent you're looking at minimum an hour in phone tag, and then there is the issue of if they are relating a bona fide request or going off the reservation.
I think that what neuroscience has found out in the last 60 years is that neurons and synapses are more complex than they had ever dreamed.

That's differential privacy, right?

It's getting more attention now after the Apple news, and it would be a great start industry-wide. But it isn't cheap, and takes a real commitment from the business.

If there was enough support among tech workers to force industry to align with that sort of model, it might obviate the competitive efficiency problem.
Was this the paper that made Feynman the father of "nanotechnology"? This paper's spirit reminds me of Leonardo Da Vinci's futuristic drawings. Incredible that this was written in 1959. I keep thinking to myself when reading this -- only if Feynman was around to see AFM and STM. I think those were created just before he died. I wish he had more time to play around with those, he probably would have loved them. Feynman had truly a deep imagination.

I intended the arm-on-an-arm expression to be conceptual imagery, more so in-line with your link, less with OP article. What do you mean by "some functional versions" of this? Please link!
As a musician who uses in-ear-monitors weekly, I very much wish I had custom molded ones.

Posicionamiento Seo Lima
For clarification, these naming conventions aren't something that was just announced, but have been used since Angular(2) was in beta.

While it's slightly confusing given there is a clear divide between versions 1 and 2, it makes sense going forward to use these names.

Also, technically, there was a name change between v1 and v2, from "AngularJS" to "Angular".

Capital punishment is a good example, but also an extreme one, and slightly tangential. It isn't that doctors oppose capital punishment for the reasons the anti-capital punishment movement does (the government shouldn't kill people, mistakes are made, the sanctity of life, etc.); instead it is simply because it violates the doctors direct "do no harm" oath.

And it is a rare corner case. Overall, there are plenty of doctors across the political spectrum. I mention this because the ethics proposed in "Never Again" are not like that. They would need to be changed quite significantly to be. That's the issue here.

> As a society we've decided that some things are worth it despite being an economic cost (notably giving senior citizens access to medical care...)

I'm painfully aware, given that this number is broken out on my W2 stubs.

What I'm obviously doing here is arguing that "society"'s (meaning those in charge of tax code, who nominally take some amount of inspiration from the rest of society) policies are wrong.

Your argument is just "This is how we do things right now, so that's how it should be." At the risk of pulling a Molyneux, that is, in fact, not an argument.
Surprising is very subjective. I was playing chess in a cabin full of people and found the checkers game next to me to be more entertaining - most likely because of the people. My chess moves were not quite random, but because I wasn't really paying attention they were really frustrating my opponent because he couldn't make sense of what I was doing. My moves were either not very logical or so brilliant that he didn't know what I was up to and it was really getting into his head. Surprising moves? Yes. Good moves? Not so much.

>>I do not believe it follows that you can be investigated solely for [any] protected speech, which is what I interpreted your comment to mean.

Then you did miss my point. Often cops/feds have to investigate whether something is or isn't protected speech. When those investigations find nothing (normal) they then appear to have been an investigation into protected speech, but that wasn't clear at the time. We cannot make such investigations illegal simply because they come to nothing.
