I never said there wasn't any, but I did say that it's mostly the Left scouring the ends of the earth to dig up any kinda dumb thing that any 3rd or 4th string person ever said and shining spotlights on it to try and smear the entire Right. And that's nicely confirmed by citing a statement made by the "New York Co-Chairman for Trump's Presidential Campaign" published in "New York arts publication Artvoice". At least it was actually published today, so that's only 2 out of 3.

Fortunately, I don't have the time or interest to keep track of every nasty thing that anybody on the Left has ever said. But you will perhaps recall such things as Hillary calling people "baskets of deplorables", Obama calling people "bitter clingers", etc. Look at what they say about Peter Thiel, Sarah Palin and her family, any prominent black conservative, etc. Yep, they sure love LGBT people, women, black people, just as long as they toe the party line. If they dare to have their own opinion, you get to see how they really feel about diversity.
If you are interested in the "mound" people, I strongly suggest books by Charles Whittlesey. He mapped many of the works for the Smithsonian in the 1840s.

His books "Descriptions of ancient works in Ohio" and "Ancient mining on the shores of lake superior" are available for free on google play books. He has others as well.

There is some fascinating history that most dont know about. You can find mounds on google maps as well if you know what to look for and line up the maps etc.

Anywhere from 6 to 10 hours, with the occasional 5-hour or 12-hour nights. If I could, I'd sleep from 1:30-2AM until 10-11AM. I can get away with this every now and then when my schedule permits. I'll spend 30-45 minutes on email, eat a big lunch, and then work for 6-7 hours straight.

I haven't had much look finding sleep strategies. Screen or no screens, my mind will race while I lay in bed until 1AM or so. I've found it to be a great time for me to think about my work as I end up doing a lot of 'background processing' while I sleep.
Sure, keep adding many methods and make new functions every time. I totally get what you're saying. I just like the syntactic sugar of Template Literals :)

Your argument assumes that everyone agrees on what the interests of the nation are, and how to achieve them. In fact, there is vicious disagreements on just that point. That is the central divide in our politics. The Republicans and Democrats both think they're doing what's best for the nation.
Let's go back to the 1880's. From your list nine supreme court justice nominations did not have votes. That may come across as a lot. But seven made it on to the supreme court with another nomination (John Roberts, Jr., Abe Fortas, John Harlan, Pierce Butler, William Hornblower, and Stanley Matthews). That leaves three: Merrick Garland, Harriet Miers, Homer Thornberry. Homer Thornberry withdrew his nomination. He was nominated to replace Abe Fortas when Fortas was nominated for Chief Justice. Abe Fortas was embroiled by a few scandals so withdrew his nomination which killed Thornberry's nomination. Harriet Miers was nominated by Bush but there was bipartisan opposition to her nomination and her nomination was withdrawn less than a month later. But even then senators had planned on holding nomination hearings. That leaves Merrick Garland. I'd say that one person since 1880 not having a chance for a vote or hearing is unprecedented.
> I got dinged on a performance review for ignoring slack messages sent at 6pm.

Ugh, that's not reasonable on your manager's part.

> I have to refuse meeting requests after 3pm, and if I get pushback, I offer to reschedule for 5am.

That's also not really reasonable on your part. Of course it all depends on dynamics and mutual understanding, but 3pm is certainly well within "core hours" of a normal working day, and 5am certainly isn't.

Yes, that has worked so well for climate change.
A surprising amount of people feel like gay marriage was the final thing to implement for an equal society. There's an argument that equal treatment under the law results in equality in practice, which is of course incorrect, even if we did have equal treatment under the law (some things disproportionately affect minority groups, so just saying "we do it to everyone" doesn't help).

I used to sit in bed for like an hour just... trying to fall asleep.

Realized it was specifically because I was staring at my phone/computer/TV right before bed, which was both pouring bright light into my eyes at night, and even worse, giving me something to think about most of the time (work, news, etc).

I started meditating instead for about 15-20 minutes before bed and now I'm half asleep before I even lie down.
I am exactly the same way, and have been since I was young. I didn't wake up early for Santa: My parents woke me out of excitement. I feel better, physically and mentally when I sleep and wake at the later times. I sleep through alarm clocks at times as well, and it took me years to figure out how to minimize this.

I feel great right now, but I'm not working and waking around 11 or noon.

And as a side note: I'm 38.
The normal 8 hrs here. I don't set an alarm (unless getting up early for something) I just wake up when I normally wake up. This means I go to bed very consistently and earlier than most of my peers.

The main thing I need to sleep is total darkness.

Some years ago I read that people don't need as much sleep as they think. In an attempt to gain some extra time in the day I experimented with reducing the amount I slept. I found even a little less sleep has a significant adverse effect on me; lower energy levels, irritability, reduced attention span.
There's no guarantee a "single, unified global effort" will be better than multiple different efforts though, plus it sounds like putting all your eggs in one basket.

If events in 2016 has shown anything, it is that people are naturally divisive. We all live in our own bubbles and want to do things our way all the time, win all the time and be right all the time. Unless you're willing to compromise, it'll be hard to just tell people to team up with you and do things "the global way".
The reason 4k monitors only support displayport is because current HDMI can only do 4k at 30hz. DP is a better cable with more bandwidth. Expect DP to overtake HDMI in the future.
Global unity sounds like a dystopian nightmare to me. Are you sure you're not projecting here?

I didn't distinguish between borrowing for stocks and borrowing for agriculture. I see both as elements of the unsustainable debt buildup. I view the stock market crash as a symptom of the unsustainable debt, not as a cause.
Unfortunately, when it comes to politics, the only winning move is to win. Thermonuclear war serves no one, but political tribalism serves the victors.

Trump got fewer votes than McCain or Romney, and millions of fewer votes than Hillary Clinton, but he won because his tribe convinced the other tribe not to play in droves.

I'm usually in bed 7-9 hours. Occasionally I sleep less, and very rarely more. Right now, I don't work so I usually sleep around 3-4am and wake between 10:30 and 12.

I've always slept well so long as I'm not on a morning shift: In this case, I just let myself sleep most days.

If I have to get up early, my sleep quality suffers even with good sleeping habits. The difference between the waking times is stark. In these cases, I just suffer through it.
Hmm, does this relate to the article from 6 days ago about the inability to find proton decay? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13201065

Oh, here come all the comments explaining how everyone is oppressed except for fucking-white-males.
3-5 hours per night, depending on what I'm doing. I usually end up switching off the book around 0300, the alarm is set for 0620, children get up at 0730, I drive them to school at 0815, work on the farm and work on different projects between then and 1315/1415 when it is time to get them from school again, after that my time is divided between work, children, food preparation and such. Around 2200-2300 I'm 'free' again to do some more work, this time usually something IT or electronics-related. Bed around 0200-0230.

I never was much of a sleeper, not even when growing up. When I was around 12 I used to switch off the radio when the boring night programming started (I still hear the beginning tunes of those programs in my head and remember the dreary sensation which came with them: time to tune out and read a bit more...). Officially I don't get enough sleep and I should suffer from all sorts of ailments but... I don't.

The children are 5 and 12, I'm 51.

If I fall asleep at 2am I wake at 9am, and if I fall asleep at 11pm I wake at 9am. The latter is extremely hard, so generally I just try to work around my night-owl body clock. I am most productive in the evenings anyway.

It's hard though, because there are a lot of early risers, and there's always an expectation that you must fully conform to the norm or else must be lazy.
I disagree rather strongly with the implicit advice here: that HTML5 "applications" ought to rely on client-side processing first and foremost. This usually translates to "shove more Javascript down the user's throat", which is the opposite of "a better HTML5 user experience" IMO. If I trust you enough to want to run arbitrary Turing-complete code of your making, I'd be more inclined to download a native implementation for my platform; otherwise, I generally have better things for my CPU to do than burn cycles on things that should be done on your own servers.

I do agree, however, that the HTML "app" ought to be treated equivalently to native implementations -- that is, it should communicate over the same API (or perhaps an internal equivalent) as native apps. I like to think of this as "middle-end" web development, with the HTML-generating server working to mediate the browser's expectations (HTML and CSS and maybe some Javascript if it's really needed) with the actual business logic provided by the API.
I just realised after getting downvoted. Thanks for the heads up!
I wouldn't say this specific problem has anything to do with the free market / capitalism. When my country was socialist, this kind of division of labor was way more extreme, people would literally spend their entire "careers" doing the same job from youth to retirement.

The problem with capitalism these days tends to be the opposite. The world is changing fast and the economy doesn't really have a need for people who will only do 1 specific simple task for 40 years, to prosper in the long term it is important to be flexible and adapt and learn new things easily.

And a lot of workers dislike this, they would actually prefer the situation described in your quote because it provides economic security even if it's dehumanizing.
Hmmmm. I post the story 30 minutes earlier and it got flagged. Can anyone see it?

This is interesting https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/12/19/women... .

I imagine that if male doctors became so less preferred that one tried to pass himself off as female... The patients would robbed of their right to make an informed healthcare choice. That would be considered a type of fraud?

What of discrimination then? What happens when studies show females are better doctors than males? As a male, I would certainly feel compelled to choose a female physician in such a world in the absence of other quantitative data to make a comparison. Surgeons are a little easier to vet with well-documented outcomes..
We had one investor who asked and got this kind of model. It creates a ton of complexity (say if the investor takes some money out, you don't count the gains that this money would have earned since that point. Then imagine they put more in later - now you have to track the hypothetical returns on that new money, but not from the original investment but from the add-on time. Trust me the math gets heavy). It just proves unworkable for a fund with hundreds of investors to track everyone's benchmarks separately. Then imagine trying to show net of fees returns for the fund for marketing purposes. Do you show the returns of the guy who invested when the benchmark was low and may not have paid any fees due to relative underperformance? Or the guy who invested at the optimal time and got the biggest outperformance and paid a lot more in fees relative to the first guy? Good luck justifying your choice to an SEC examiner. This is why even the savviest investors don't ask for what you are suggesting.
6-7 hours. If I sleep for longer, I feel like shit.
9pm - 5am, ideally. But just as often, I get off schedule, and end up doing a split of 9-1, be up for 4 hours, then 5-9.

For the best sleep, I take melatonin, I exercise in the mornings, avoid caffeine after lunch, and avoid naps.
http://plugable.com/thunderbolt-3/ also has some good info. Apparently there are TB3 adapters which don't work with tbMBPs.

All I want is a single TB3 plug that powers my laptop and hooks up 2x4k displays at 60hz. A USB port or 3 would also be nice. Apparently this does not (can not?) exist.

From the Pluggable site: "Connect two uncompressed 4K 60Hz (4096 x 2160) displays (one via a DisplayPort++ port and the other via the 2nd USB-C port)"

Why can't I just have two real DP++ ports on the dock?

They do make one, but it's windows-only: Thunderbolt 3 DisplayPort Dual-Display Adapter for Windows (Plugable TBT3-DP2X)

Is there something about the new MBPs which prevents them from sending 2 HDMI or DP signals out over a single TB3 port? It seems like a huge step backward to now require a network of dongles, adapters, docks, and special cables just to replicate ports which other normal laptops have.
I go to bed at 2am-3am, alarm rings 10:50, I reset it to 11:10, wake up, get dressed and walk to office without breakfast to be there at noon sharp. Not feeling well. On weekend, I would go to sleep even later, wake up after 9 hours of sleep and still feel like crap.

While you are right that 5am is well outside of normal working hours, I have been at places that will do a 4pm meeting but won't do a 11am meeting because "a number of people won't be in, or won't be ready," and so on. I like the point that was trying to be made. This is why in organizations I run I actually restrict meetings to no more than 60 minutes per day as must be better 10am and 2pm. It's amazing how few meetings organizations really need to get work done.

I am not readily finding any of the things I want, but your website needs to LOOK trustworthy. It can't be too flashy. It needs to look conservative and banker-ish.

You need it to have the right kind of written copy and there can be no typos. You must clean up anything like that. It will signal to people that you do sloppy work and can't be entrusted with anything more important if you can't bother to clean up typos, misspelled words and grammatical errors.

You also need some explicit signals that your site is trustworthy, such as relevant "endorsements" or verifications by the kinds of organizations that do that kind of thing.

(There may be a few other things you need, but this is a place to start.)

Judging from the fact that people on this page are complaining about USB-C cables/adapters not working, and the non-compliant USB-C cable fiasco (e.g. OnePlus), I'd say it isn't that clear. For better or worse, you know exactly what you'll be getting with Lightning. The Lightning connectors are also mechanically very robust.

Of course, the one huge flaw is that now their phones and laptops use different connectors.
I feel that the younger generation has very little to no feelings of prejudice towards ethnic or sexual groups. I'm talking as a teenager myself. It's more the older people that generally discriminate.

It's possible that, over time, the problem will solve itself.
Not with app engine's default cert that matches *.google.com

Google has the private keys and would likely happily siphon off any data requested by said regimes.
Lightning came out in September 2012 [1].
USB-C was ratified in August 2014 [2].

If we put the iPhone 6S model aside (because the -S models generally do not adopt a significant change in features), the only model released since USB-C is the iPhone 7.

Given the short lifecycle of phones, adopting lightning rather than postponing until USB-C has given several generations of phones with a superior connection.

Should the iPhone 7 have adopted USB-C instead of lightning?
Perhaps, but USB-C support isn't exactly widespread (and it might in fact be Apple which ends up pushing USB-C support to the point of widespread adoption).

Is the lightning connection superior to USB-C?

Well, it's size is smaller: 6.7mm x 1.5mm (vs 8.4mm x 2.6mm for USB-C); a 42% reduction in height, and a 20% reduction in width.

For devices like mobile phones, I can see how the size of connector can be more important than bandwidth or compatibility. I'd like lightning to be a standard, but it's definitely an improvement over micro-USB, and in terms of size, it's better than USB-C.

You're not alone in needing very little. I myself need the usual 7 1/2-8 to feel good, but a long time ago I did martial arts with a guy who slept 4 hours a night, from 1am to 5am. He just didn't need more, and enjoyed more free time than most of us get.
I wish the state legislature would put a limit on the number of unsuccessful libel lawsuits a lawyer could file.

They file because they have the money to file, and some very bruised egos. I can't remember one they won.

In my state of California, a Plastic Surgeon managed to rack up over 70 bad Yelp reviews. She then tried to sue 12 of her former patients.

The judge threw the lawsuits/lawsuit out. Poof!

I don't think words are working and I'm not sure I understand your point fully. Could you draw a diagram? Specifically, the apparatus and where you think the requirement for information occurs.

I really do want to understand your point, because it's an interesting argument, even if I'm not sure I agree.
8 hours, give or take. In bed by 10pm, read for a bit, alarm at 6am. Doze a bit while my wife showers, then up and get myself ready.

I try to work out 5-6 times/week. Without it, I sleep lighter and inconsistently. With it, I usually sleep well.
I think this is a bit extreme trying to change words to adhere to your own worldview

Not really, considering that the "meanings" of words in everyday usage have already been deliberately reconstructed and promulgated by the billion-dollar PR engines of the tech industry. For example, how does the word "theft" possibly apply to a person sitting minding his own business on his own computer? It doesn't, so don't use it that way.

Which concepts you lump together under a single word, and which you split between different words, is important and also highly subjective - or transjective if you will (shared reality) - but it's a fallacy to think the delineation of concepts is an "objective" distinction.

For certain entrenched powers, it's useful to lump together carjackers with music downloaders into a single category ("thieves"). Others find it useful to distinguish, and avoid using the same word. Similarly, some find it useful to distinguish between licenses which are promote freedom, vs those which encumber freedom - rather than using a blanket term "BSD-like" that includes both.

It is weird, the article even says further down "The retailer seems to know what it’s doing, too. An earlier report from 1010data found that Amazon’s private label brands were taking over market share in their respective categories, including speakers (thanks to Amazon Echo), baby wipes (Amazon Elements), and batteries (AmazonBasics)."
Here's an option:

1. Secure, automatic update process that keeps user config where possible.

2. Default configuration that's as secure as factory setting can get plus without unnecessary services running.

3. Running on a self-healing microkernel if possible.

4. Code for key functionality written in languages like Ada, SPARK, and/or Rust for reduced 0-days.

5. Embedded firewall with rate limiting from host network in event ISP detects DDOS.

6. Optionally, more secure way to connect to admin interface comes with installation CD or software.

Those seem like nice baseline for router that would increase its security and availibility at relatively, low cost. There used to even be a vendor selling switches and routers with INTEGRITY-178 separation kernel enforcing POLA down to the ports. Rockwell uses AAMP7G CPU to enforce it down to the thread or process level with mathematical proof of its correctness. So room to improve further to high-assurance for that end of the market, too, on top of what my list already gives.

EDIT to add what just showed up in another feed. Case in point about how much better baseline could be with small effort.
