I think it's a generational thing. Americans of a certain vocation and certain age and older tend to have no idea about how this whole Internet thing works. No matter what their education level or achievement level

That is an impressively dismissive statement.
Almost no one is opposed to globalization, per se. We are opposed to globalization that drags down worldwide avearge income, and traps people in subsistence lifestyles, paying people 5cents of every $ of value they create, and then boasting about they should be happy they aren't dead.

The article doesn't even make sense! He's actually arguing that low wages are better than zero wages, while low wages are also better than high wages, and that the wealth creation whose impact he boasts about isn't even having a subsantial impact!

> First of all, even if we could assure the workers in Third World export industries of higher wages and better working conditions, this would do nothing for the peasants, day laborers, scavengers, and so on who make up the bulk of these countries' populations. At best, forcing developing countries to adhere to our labor standards would create a privileged labor aristocracy, leaving the poor majority no better off.

He doesn't even think to consider that, for example, a tax+entitlements scheme, that every civilized nation has, could stave off this "labor aristocracy". Nor does he explain why a Western labor aristoracy is OK, but an Eastern labor aristocracy is not.

The article is thin logically-bankrupt apologetics.

Krugman himself has walked back his old claims, he calls it "hyper-globalization" (~5minute mark).

I appreciate the idea, but in that case, it's simply a cost/benefit analysis. The benefit of not losing a few days worth of fees on credit card transactions a month is worth way more than the relatively minimal cost of good QA, testing, change control, and rollback capabilities.

Have you had any issues to report? If so, how quickly were they fixed? Knowing what the typical time is to address these issues would help us make a more educated decision.
It's convenient for the majority of people. There are regular downloads available (https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/other-installers.html) and you can probably also get Rust through your system package manager.
Can't one just buy a RAT?

Also, the WMI think they describe doesn't look like rootkit, more like cron analogue for Windows. I.e. on Unix it would be like installing a command inside crontab. That's not what is usually called a rootkit - a tool that is designed to conceals its presence (and other tools presence) from regular OS tools.
It wouldn't be their first UX dark pattern.
It is more like:

1. Hackers drove a custom built tank that has Moscow factory markings.

2. Similar versions of the tank were used in other campaigns attributed to Russian intelligence.

3. Crew in the tank has been associated with Russian intelligence operations going back ten years.

4. The tank left from a building known to be associated with Russian intelligence hacking campaign.

Thus, the hackers probably take orders from Russian intelligence.
Interesting that you say "provided we stay within the deterministic, logical setting" because Paul Christiano's work shows that if we move to the probabilistic domain (the real world) it becomes possible.

I have a friend at Facebook. Yes, they do understand that some data they collect is pretty ... private. But since it's good for Facebook -- it's good for them. In all personal discussions they defend the company to the point that I started feeling like there is some mind-washing going on. Of course it's just a feeling, but my point is -- they don't think it is bad.
This is answered right near the top of the README:

The fallacy propagated by racists is: genetics = race, therefore "genetic differences account for intelligence" implies "racial differences account for intelligence."

Which is obviously not true, but you shouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater. It's actually an open secret among psychologists that genetics is moderately linked to intelligence and other things like workplace success, though no one that I know will admit even to entertaining the idea, because that would mean career suicide and death threats. But it's not a white supremacist thing. In fact, it can even be seen as the opposite. Race doesn't matter at all as long as you possess those genes for intelligence.
IAP on mobile is mostly a disaster area, a wasteland of pseudo-gambling addiction mechanisms and timewasting. On other platforms it's not so aggressive yet and may be limited to cosmetic items (eg overwatch).
Journalists routinely do that - underline that whatever malfeasance is done, the perpetrator is not a usual random criminal but especially heinous one and thus this story is worth your attention.

With computer crime it's especially obvious because most journalists don't know enough to understand what's hard and what's not, so they take the word of law enforcement, and law enforcement has big motivation to make it sound as bad as possible, since it enhances their significance and their success for catching one. "I've caught a sophisticated hacker" sounds better than "I've found a 13-year old kid that sent someone an email saying 'give me your password' and the poor shmoe was silly enough to do just that".

So there won't be a lot of reports about catching unsophisticated hackers. Usually it's always "highly sophisticated" ones.

OTOH, I think the actual (claimed) proof was using of certain bit.ly account etc. not sophistication per se.

Also, it looks like there were at least 3 attacks on the DNC, and phishing was only involved in one. Maybe the whitepapers talked about the other ones.

Serena Williams Engagement to Alexis Ohanian
I agree that we're probably talking past each other, re: civil/software engineering.

The entire reason to do frequent, small updates, instead of large, spectacular updates is to avoid all the problems you mention in the last paragraph.

In that case, it actually does become quite a bit like civil engineering, in that if they keep relatively minor repaving a lane every year, without disrupting traffic completely, they can avoid the entire road failing spectacularly and having to be blocked off to rebuild. Of course I don't really know much about civil engineering...

Cheers, anyway.
All of those precautions are orthogonal to deleting your FB account. You can do all of those things without deleting your account (only log in using an incognito window). Deleting your account may or may not change anything with regards to FB's collection of information about you. There is simply no way to know because it is entirely up to FB what the semantics of deleting your account actually are.
>hat more sophisticated methods went unused should be a measure of efficiency and not necessarily execution. Why break out the trick play if your opponent can't keep from you running it up the middle?

I question how efficient it is to get caught red handed in the cookie jar of the worlds only super power.

Sure Vladimir Putin could invite President Obama to a state dinner and then proceed to blow his head off with an AK-47 but that would lack the subterfuge I expect from "state level actors". If this is indeed the Russians, they are as laughably incompetent as our elected officials in regards to infosec and thus a threat to no one.
Abstract algebra is often about studying structure on sets. That usually takes the form of studying operator(s) with certain properties and the elements that they work with. Some early examples that students see are things like rotations/reflections of n-gons, modular arithmetic, polynomials, matrix spaces, and fields.

It is different from regular algebra in the sense that often one starts with a set and operation one supposes to have a particular kind of property (perhaps it's a group, or perhaps it's a field, or perhaps it's a certain kind of field (maybe separable, or local, or ...)). Then from these assumptions one proves facts about the assumed algebraic structure.

It's different in that often particular elements aren't of much interest, and it's not as tied down to a particular context.
There are a lot of people who would benefit from the latter conclusion and not a lot of people who would benefit from the former.
I think the Samwer brothers have some experience with the second-to-market process.
The NSA doesn't, in general, publicly announce anything. They exist to supply analysis to other branches of government, and only very rarely to the public directly. So the absence of commentary from them in public doesn't indicate that they haven't drawn conclusions and passed them along.
Not all of them, but the others are signed up for cryonics.
> The whole "they know whats best for us and our only choice is blind faith" attitude is really disturbing.

This is so, so insulting. There is no way a fair observer could read the comments here and conclude that the people who find Russia hacking the DNC credible do so because they have blind faith in Clapper or the FBI or anyone else.
one should tell the child to quit being friends with them

My mom gave me advice like this when I was in the 3rd grade. I followed it. What she didn't tell me is that in school, the 30 kids I was with were going to be the same ones in 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade and 7th grade. I was ostracized by those friends, and having been shunned by that small group of friends (just 4 other kids out of 30), I was persona non grata to those others. Even when other kids joined the class between each year, they quickly found out that talking to me was a quick way to also be shunned. Between that incident in 3rd grade, and when I finally moved in 8th grade, I can count the number of other children who talked to me on 2 hands, and the number of total words spoken to me was less than a hundred. It's bad advice to ignore the fact that we are social creatures. Children can be exceptionally cruel.
Yay, the illusion of security!
This is a problem with shipping with Fedex too. There are a bunch of variable charges that aren't finalized until after the shipment has been delivered. In practice it is rarely and issue and using post paid labels instead of prepaid shipping labels is a better system for most businesses anyways.

Is the order cost variable with digikey because the shipping weight is not known or is there another reason?
What did you find complicated or terrifying there?

The fact that the code was complicated was sort of the point; the generic deriving code in the Rust compiler is in general a very tricky and confusing area and pretty complicated to deal with. In C++ I would have been very careful around code like this and not introduced new pointers. In Rust, I could do this without being afraid of memory issues.

You're not supposed to understand the actual code in the blog post; there's heaps of context and explanations of compiler internals I didn't want to do. I tried to make it clear what task I wanted to do, and how the compiler helped me carry it out; the code is just there to give a better idea of what was going on. If you read closely I do mention that a lot of things should be ignored, there.

The post also walks through the explanations of why the lifetimes work out that way, but that's more for the readers' edification -- I didn't need to actually figure anything out whilst working on it; the explanations are something I thought about later.
> "how does their nonetheless COL-adjusted near parity (still ahead!) vs. whites undermine the idea that minorities can succeed in the USA?"

The article never claimed to undermine the idea that minorities can succeed in the USA. It claims to undermine the idea that Asian Americans (and minorities in general) can be more successful than whites in similar circumstances. And it has done a pretty good job at that. As the article shows, after adjusting for COL, Asians make as much as Whites, and in fact, make less than whites who are similarly qualified. I've yet to see anyone dispute the math presented.
Things can have a purpose without a god being there to give it.
>This is such incredibly poor agenda-driven "journalism", with cherry-picked data used to (poorly) attack a sort of straw man argument

You just described the Washington Post.

I mean, they said in their "news" section that the Ron Paul Institute was Russian Propaganda, which was just a part of their McCarthyite agenda against political dissenters[1]

I'd avoid anything by the WaPo, it's corporate media fake news.

>mainstream liberalism is frankly bordering on fraudulence with its refusal to confront these topics.

I would say it is fraudulent. The taboo on addressing racial differences, especially intelligence, in academia and the media is only taboo if it concludes whites are superior to minorities.

For example, "white people can't dance," is a culturally acceptable racist remark. "Asians are better at math" is also culturally acceptable. Any comment that breaks that rule is unacceptable. It's the same in academia and in the courts. If you publish research or a supreme court opinion that minorities are of lower intelligence, like the book, The Bell Curve, or in Justice Scalia's case, you will receive ridicule (and whether just coincidentally or as part of conspiracy theory territory - will be certain of dying a premature death)[2]. Publishing that minorities are above-average intelligence is perfectly acceptable, though [3]. Teaching through a college course that being white is a problem is also acceptable - that's because it fits the rule [4].

Queue everyone calling me alt-right or racist or something awful just for pointing out the fact that everyone knows. It's like 1984. I really hate racism. My best friend I grew up with on my street as a child is black, and I can tell you, kids grow up color blind and are not racist. It's this toxic political correctness and government that perpetuates problems of the past. I have no idea what the further agenda is in perpetuating inequality and inciting further anger and inequality. Everyone should be treated equal, especially in eyes of government. Where we are headed is we are already getting close to Harrison-Bergeron'ing people because of their skin color and past injustice.

All racism should not be tolerated.

If the problem with government is even worse than I thought then I will end up on some kind of "political dissidents" list just for spelling out these problems.

A fun game is following the reference trail right back to the source works, often decades ago. Pick something popular, say convolutional neural nets. Do a brief literature review and try and read the most highly cited papers as far back as you can go. You'll usually hit some really interesting (and very readable) old papers that cover really groundbreaking things. Using the convnet example, at some point you'll come across the Nobel winning paper on how cat brains interpret visual stimuli (Hubel, 1963).
This looks really interesting but I just don't understand it. Can someone with more expertise explain in layman's terms what this paper is about?
Except that this is a sort of exclusion of the middle; you say "here's the alternative theory", but there are other even more likely possibilities. Here's one:

1. The DNC and their members are generally ignorant of good security policy and had an easily hacked system.

2. Some Russian intelligence agency hacked the DNC's email servers.

3. A bunch of other people/hackers/groups hacked the DNC's email servers, as it was "left out in the open", so to speak, and was a trivial target..

4. One group at least used trivial methods to do so and left behind evidence.

5. The FBI/NSA//DHS/etc found that evidence.

6. One of these hackers passed information to WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks has denied that it was Russians who did this.

7. The FBI/CIA claim that the Russians hacked the DNC servers.

8. The press and political opportunists jump to the conclusion that it was the Russians who released this information to Wikileaks.

9. The FBI/CIA classified what they found and aren't going to put it in a press release.
She's lying.
You should consider what this sort of exchange does to the reputation of MIRI...
If you're going to be actively involved in your child's education, it may not. This was a randomized test: it's not clear that means good early education is additive versus binary. For instance, it may be that for a significant number of students, the only education they receive is at school. And so for them a great teacher sets them up with a great foundation. But if you already set that great foundation up at home, it's not clear that the teacher will significantly affect improve upon it. Just that for enough students for it to show a significant correlation, the great early educator mattered.
I've had similar experience. Had a dream about my dead grandpa (at some point I realized he's dead and he turned into a zombie along with other people around - not very nice dream). Then I dreamt that I've woken up, I've seen the dormitory in which I really slept, went to open door cause somebody wa ringing, and it was the zombies :/, at which point I've woke up again, for real this time. My friend from the room said I've sat up on the bed and "looked at him" with closed eyes for like 5 minutes, before waking up.

It might have sth to do with drinking like 2 liters of strong tea and studying for exam whole night and day before.
From the downvotes, I guess the FBI doesn't typically keep information to itself, it just releases it on principle. How nice of them!
> There is no evidence that the NYT stole[1] Trump's tax returns. His ex-wife had copies of those documents and it's widely suspected that she was the one to leak them.

There's no evidence[2] that Russia hacked the DNC. It's "widely suspected" that murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich leaked the emails.[3]

Even if Marla Maples herself provided the returns to the NYT (and the NYT claims they were sent from Trump Tower), I strongly suspect it would've been in that case a violation of their divorce settlement.[4]

[1] Obviously the NYT themselves didn't steal Trump's tax returns, but their source almost certainly did.

[2] That we've seen.

[3] That theory is IMO ridiculous; my point is that it's also evidence-free speculation.

[4] If it were Marla, and it didn't violate the divorce settlement, why the anonymity?
> humans become immortal

The obligatory note: the true immortality is unattainable in principle without indestructibility (which is something that is hard to imagine even theoretically). Otherwise people will continue to die, en masse, from various unnatural causes. My guess as to the half-life of a human in the best of circumstances is just a couple of hundred years...

Ask HN: Anyone used Buoy? (Digital Ocean UI)
I came across Buoy (http://www.imgearl.com/) because I was searching for a UI kit similar to Digital Oceans.

I think DO's UI is spectacular and really well done, so far its inspired me on a recent project of mine.

Can't seem to find much info about Buoy, no scss or Ruby gem , JS files referred to on the site, could someone shed some more light on the project?

edit:
Found more information:

http://jessecha.se/work/buoy.html

I believe the kit was created by Jesse Chase. Really like his work with DO UI. Sadly can't find any more information.
Most of the time the same template with the same parameters are instantiated multiple times. If modules work, there should be only one compilation.
The offensive yet realistic version:

SV is a bunch of 20 years old who'll overworked themselves to death to deliver a car made only with the latest shiniest tools (because that's all they know) that will crash after 5 minutes (quality, who gives a fuck in web development?).

The traditional car maker will run on old stuff like they're used to, made by older people (experienced ex-SV folks who went back to their home state) who have a family and care about their children on the back seat not ending up in a tree with the car (quality or GTFO!), and they'll be delivered by their extensive network of dealership and partners around the world.

Well. That is unless the traditional car maker is run by old guys who've been there for 20 years because that's the only job in town and they really don't have the experience to deliver anything nowadays.

Looks like the first manufacturer to reconcile both workers generation along with industry experience will win. (That's no small feat).
