America hasn't exactly helped Europe out by displacing millions of refugees and creating a humanitarian crisis on their door step. Not to mention doing practically nothing to tackle climate change for the last 30 years.

Sure Europe is in a difficult place right now, but who knows, they might emerge beter off and more ready for space exploration down the track?
Some of it is geographic too. Apple/Google/LinkedIn impacts Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Cupertino. (Palo Alto is already through the roof) Less of an impact in the city where other dynamics are also in play.

Public transportation is a 20th century solution. If cities do nothing autonomous vehicles will revolutionize transportation wants within 20 years. Which is as fast or faster than major public transportation projects would take.

Additional housing will result in a larger tax base which will automatically cover additional schooling needs.

What Did and Did Not Happen in 2016
From where I sit it seems the left and mainstream media are determined to start a war with Russia, including attacking people who are simply trying to be a voice of reason. This behavior is a hell of a lot more worrying than Russian cyber warfare as the last time this happened we actually did end up going to war, in Iraq.
Solid point, haven't seen if they've updated anything on their faq for more transparency. But I doubt it.
tbh, I went for the "deep end" because your formula that one needs to "choose 2" as a fact of life is weird to me.

Your point of "choose 2" isn't anything more than a compromise you've made. That is, not something that is "correct" but a compromise you've settled on. I'm happy for you to settle on that as a baseline for your life, but it irks me to hear you spout it as a "truth".
Yea, it's been interesting to watch that evolve. The Snowden comments on the latest Russian sanctions were ... I guess unsurprising as well

I do enjoy your quip, but I can't interpret your second paragraph as anything but nonsense ramblings. The first sentence is held very dearly in American political thought, but that is unrelated to the second sentence second. I mean I think I can guess what you might be getting at but you're assigning blame to the wrong things. Both of your examples are GREAT things that are not really examples of "power" in that they are not unilateral.
God. Once politics is involved, objectivity and truth are the first casualties.

>I'm not sure how "working on a small, local level is probably more effective for individuals" is a liberal opinion

Sure, the overall message may not be liberal. But there are numerous liberal ideologies that the author subtly sticks in to his article as if they are untenably true. E.g., liberal views about

- Syrian refugees

- The European migrant crisis

- Globalism

- Pope Francis

He even uses these views to say "hey, you should care about these things and take my side if you want 2017 to be better than 2016".

Perhaps I should've pointed these things out in my original comment, since these subtleties might not be very obvious when reading them, if you are a liberal yourself.

> It should be understood not to pass user data directly to internal code without sanitizing it.

But how do you sanitize it? If you hadn't read this article and were told to sanitize a format string, how would you implement that?

Unless you know exactly what the problem is, you're basically reduced to writing your own string formatter. (Though see 'anderskaseorg's example, it's a lot less code if you do.)
You seem to be misunderstanding each other. The original post is simply phrased a little poorly in the spot you're arguing about, when it's clear to me that the author is only suggesting the malware is Ukrainian, but the users cannot be inferred from where the malware originated, because it is freely available online for anyone to use.
The article is mostly BS.

And it is a strawman attack

"Many people suggested that I could simply do some homework, on my own, and get to the bottom of climate science."

Obviously you can't get down to climate science, no serious person is suggesting it. The same as with LIGO, you can't get down to gravitational waves and understand them. The reason is that these people have decades of experience and studied some really hard topics - not liberal arts. To get to the bottom you need to take the same route into the topic.

I might be the last person believing in the usefulness of experts in these days - real experts on a topic not those "experts" on CNN and Fox. I know this is unpopular.

It's also funny that people want to understand climate change when from my experience with people many can't even add simple numbers or correctly work with percentages, e.g. calculating VAT. This is the illusion of I-can-do-everything-if-I-want-something. No you can't. Sometimes it takes decades of training, say piano, to do something. Everyone thinks today he is entitled to understand this and entitled to have an opinion that is as valuable as the opinion of someone who did something for years. THIS is the illusion.

Site note to Scott Adams: Reality - climate in this case - does not care the least what you think of it.

[Edit] In short: I don't care about the opnion of a comic writer about climate science.
Similar to Really Bad Chess - that keeps the AI intelligence the same and just varies the balance of starting pieces to adjust the difficulty.

With that attitude you can just pipe /dev/random to the comment section. What's the use of your comments if they contain nothing ob substance? Rhetorical question. I think /r/politics on reddit is far better suited for that kind of "discussion" than HN which aims to be of better quality.
Sorry, I just saw this question of yours!

I was an early adopter of EDN, and wound up rolling my own parser in Python. EDN is simple enough that you can realistically roll a parser for it, complete with tests, in one or two working days. I find this to be a huge advantage—EDN doesn't really have any corner cases, so implementation is very straightforward.
Yes, certainly label propagation type algorithms are more suited to Spark than TensorFlow (although of course the fast matrix operations in TF could work well for this).
In many webapps, there's a very easy way to go from a data leak to arbitrary code execution. For instance, if you have signed cookies that are pickles of data, the cookie signing key lets you execute arbitrary code (because pickle deserialization can execute arbitrary code).
Arguably Ruby is worse because you can execute instance methods in interpolation, but I still don't see why that's germane to this discussion other than to pick a fight about languages.
Citations, of course.

Or are you simply of the Nicholas Garaufis school of thought; namely, if the test isn't perfect, it can't possibly be used as a hiring tool? After seeing what Judge G did to the FDNY training program, I'd have half a mind to buy extra smoke alarms and fire extinguishers if I lived in the city...

Like a lot of people, I know some persons who would probably be excluded by the general approache I described upthread, and who ended up going into teaching and being really, really good at their specialty. That's why there should always be a way to make exceptions. That doesn't invalidate the principle that "book smart" isn't a bad criteria for new teachers, and that some tests can give a rough idea of how likely someone is to be so.

Cliched but true:

Tough cases make bad law.
The plural of anecdote isn't data.
Last time I was present for a pen test, the testers compromised a laptop, then moved laterally to compromise a other devices, which got them to a host that mattered.
Yes its a complex issue for sure, no doubt . I am referring to the act of exhorting morality and taking a 'better than you' attitude while doing so, not the actual act of taking money. Nytimes public editor Liz spayd herself said that nytimes is now a hive mind totally isolated in a bubble from people whose cause they are supposedly championing.

>Taking it to an extreme what would anyone think if a startup took an investment from Assad of Syria?

It is equivalent of startup called 'savior of people' doing so.

No idea what the downvotes are for, I've wondered about this topic for months .
Quackery. May as well toss in some Freudian penis analogy for rockets too.

An interest in the prospects of space aliens is definitely escapism, but most people interested in the scholarly fields of astrophysics and astronomy are rational enough to confront life without clinging to spiritual mysticism or superstition.

Metaphysical experience, ethics, and philosophy are topics of interest, but why should it be that the topic of space aliens must invade such tiresome and belabored subjects. What are they, Klingons?
The article is clearer, but the author of the article seems to not understand his own article.

It's a little baffling, really.

As far as I'm aware support for this is still not implemented in Elixir, I'm assuming the implementation would match Erlang, but as shown here, it doesn't necessarily have to. Personally I'm of the opinion that functions like this are better written as named functions, but the one place this is awkward is in iex, where you can't define named functions at the top level, so it has it's place.
From the article:

So I've resorted to amateur sociology to provide
justification. Unlike the countries of Europe,
America still resonates to its pioneering heritage,
and that heritage is stunningly recent.
Is there anything a politician could do or say that would make you conclude that they have fascist, racist, and sexist tendencies?
Sorry but that's ridiculous. Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" laid out the facts in an easily consumable way for the public over 10 years ago. We have photography showing massive ice loss over the poles. We have solid data on average temperatures and CO2. How much clearer could it be exactly?

There aren't any "sides". There's the science, and there's a propaganda campaign that's driven by energy corporations, and to a smaller extent deluded conspiracy theorists like Adams. Framing it as a debate at all is intellectually dishonest and just makes public confusion worse.

We are on the verge of being able to replicate organs at scale. I think that that harvesting them from donors who have destroyed their brains in vehicular accidents is just an unfortunate but necessary stepping stone.
While that is true as a percentage of the population, as for total number of religious people the US is in the top 5 just due to population size. [1]

Also, some US states are larger than entire countries and the percentages vary greatly by state. So depending on where you live in the United States it may feel like literally everyone is religious.

I live in a relatively liberal part of the country and I still feel the need to stay in the closet as an atheist for fear or being disowned by my community and family.

But back to the topic at hand, I think finding aliens would be definitive proof that at the very least the part about God creating earth as something unique and special is bogus.

In other words I think the origional poster is completely wrong. If you believe in God you should fear finding aliens. Philosophically many religious people have trouble reconciling with evolution, never mind another living creature on a planet other than our own.

I found when I switched to Affinity I was able to drop PS completely. I even had good luck working with client supplied PS files, though I didn't need to return the supplied files, just create a derivative deliverable.

One odd side effect of this is I'm more disappointed in Affinity when it doesn't do something as well as PS, whereas with the other tools I'd write it off to their smaller scope an size.
Lua has this feature as well and it's fantastically useful for this kind of use-case, or more generally anywhere where you want to allow scripting.
> your formula...as a fact of life is weird to me

Cities are defined by density. What makes them valuable is density. Density is people per unit of space. You can do some things going vertically, but there are costs and limits associated with that, both practical and political.

Lots of people in high density means low average space per person. If you want more space it will be expensive and eat into your cash. If you want to keep that cash, you don't have options in a high-density city.

Yes, you can have all three with lots of cash. But you can't have a city with most having lots of space, because that means they live in low density and are no longer in a city.

And I'm quite surprised that's true!
It's key to differentiate between watching the news and being informed.

I haven't watched the news in over a decade (except for when I'm over at someone's house being polite) and my life has been better because of it.

Instead, I pay for NYTimes, Wall St Journal and read Hacker news which I find keeps me more informed than the average joe watching news stories on "what's trending on social media" type journalism.
This visualisation makes a point regarding 'Brexit'. Look how much trade the UK does with Europe and how much trade is done with the rest of the world. Even though everything says 'made in China' far, far more trade is done with Germany and the other large European nations.

As long as we don't have self driving motorbikes, there will be an ample supply of young, healthy donors.

I have been told Motorbikes is what a surgeon, specialist in transplantation, has in mind when he rubs his hands when it is raining outside. "It's going to be a busy day".

Probably more relevant in Europe than in the US.
I had the same confusion when I watched this video:

https://www.ted.com/talks/paul_zak_trust_morality_and_oxytoc...
Government will mandate software be written that maintains a rate of 30,000 car accident deaths per year.

Gameify it and have the option to pay a microtransaction to reduce your risk for some number of miles. Or the option to increase your computed risk but double your driving speed.

Lots of opportunity for disruption here.
If you don't mind me asking, how much of that cost is colocation and bandwidth respectively?
In USD:

14 cent fee for anything less than $14.72

73 cent fee for anything $14.72 - $73.58

$1.47 fee for anything more than $73.58

This service reminds me a lot of craigslist but with a fee. Does India not have a similar service?
I'm completely baffled what you're talking about.

Is this the sentence you take issue with?

"Turns out it's a hacking group in Ukraine, anyone can get it for free (but if you're nice you'll donate to their BTC account) and the DHS and FBI sample was several versions behind."

Is the point of contention here not whether we know with certainty whether it was the Russians behind this, or is it something else?
Hi guyz, I'm the author of this project, but not the author of this post. Indeed the project is very incomplete and indeed it's "disassembler" - not "decompiler" :)
I plan to talk about it on HN when I'm satisfied with the results (and when the emulator starts outputting things)... today was a little early.

Thanks though for the upvotes and the kind remarks!

I don't know of any new constructs to support recursive anonymous functions in Elixir, but I don't know everything about Elixir either, so that isn't saying much. You could always create an anonymous function to accept a function, and then pass it into itself as an argument though.

Having said that, I've never ran into a case where I wanted to use an anonymous function recursively in Elixir. Come to think of it, I don't really use anonymous functions much at all, outside of Enum calls, which handle the recursion part for you anyway. What would be the use case?

On a side note, I think this article provided an outstanding tutorial for writing macros in Elixir. Since macros are how Elixir implements metaprogramming, knowing how to write them is a good thing. I typically use macros to write more expressive guard clauses, but you can do whatever you want with them. Chris McCord wrote an excellent book on macros, called Metaprogramming Elixir, if you want to know more about them.

Anyone can download it and check.

There is also a forum thread at https://rdot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1567 started by this software developer in 2011. He answers the questions from the users of his software and asks them to donate to continue development.

So it is a publicly available software, not a private tool made by some hacker group for themselves. That is why other people could find it in their systems.

Guarana energy drinks and (for example Scitec) pure liquid Guarana are two different things, that's the reason I mentioned some brand. You need to try pure guarana. For me it's like 5-coffees at one 40ml shot, few hours lasting effect and no shaking. But be careful, you can overdose pretty quickly (start with recommended dosage on package and gradually add few milliliters each day to find your optimal/maximal dosage).
How's Amazon's own delivery service going over there? In the UK it's pretty common to have amazon deliever via Amazon Logistics for my area (it's not nationwide yet).

As the side states it seems to be about selling in your local area so doesn't seem that much of a leap from what Amazon are currently offering. (I.e. Your sold item isn't going cross country. To the nearest depot and back out again after packing)

Note: This is just an observation on that Amazon already have a collection / delivery network in place with plans to expand. Not a comment on the quality of said service. I've had many miss deliveries (my items delivered to other addresses, other people's items delivered to me, a knock on the door then driving off. My home office is less then 30 secs from the front door but still had drivers climbing back in their vans saying no one was home during that time.) but I guess that's what you get when drivers are paid per delivery instead of per hour.

Aptdeco does pickup in the US (furniture and other design objects). Can confirm that it's expensive. But it's so much nicer than dealing with the super flaky people of Craigslist. The people who pick up are professional movers who bring packing material.

Another thing Aptdeco does is verify the condition of the item. They require the seller to post photos that show every angle of the item, including close-ups of defects.

For small things that anyone can carry on a messenger bike, I don't know if it would be cost-prohibitive. It seems to work well for food.
Identifying someone's race doesn't make you a racist.

No, you fail to understand the author's comment and then instead of asking whether you were understanding something correctly, you've jumped to conclusions and started attacking the author as a fraud and a spammer instead of recognizing that the summary here was written a little vaguely in a way that you interpreted as the author claiming to have identified who the attackers were, rather than the creators of the malware.
