Two things. One, he's used Twitter to post some seriously absurd but significant charges, like an fact-less opinion that there was widespread corruption in our last election cycle.

Second, I'm in the middle of reading the Undoing Project by Micheal Lewis, and your last statement is a prime example of how bad humans are at statistics. Months (or even years) of security have no bearing on the likely hood or ability of an account to be hacked in the future. Only hard data on many accounts over years can begin to allow us to estimate that, and even then it's just a probability.

You're a free market guy. What would you say about insurance companies deciding they'll only cover people who release all their data to them.

Now I don't have a choice to release my data, do I? (since I'm forced to have insurance)

How do I know what my doctor does with my electronic data? Legally, I have some assurances. Except we now know how much these legal assurances are in the electronic domain.

On the point of indexing what the user sees, we agree completely. On the statement that Google does this now, that's not actually true. The current fact is, obviously from the article content, that my browser can do things that Google won't. Namely, AJAX, which is critical to truly scalable pages that cache and perform minimal delta requests. Even the JavaScript required using Google-specific webmaster tools.

It's fairly clear that just by developing those webmaster tools, Google is effectively (and understandably to a point) saying that they won't try to create engineering solutions to certain problems. Or that at this point it's not a sound financial investment because, after all, people will come to them because they're the biggest game in town.

If you're referring to my alternate crawling strategy suggestion of mapping a deep link structure into a structured REST URL structure, that's just an optimization I'd love to see. Really, I just think that search indexers should index what my users see, regardless of my engineering decisions.
The parent claim was that there is no relationship, but they haven't backed that claim up. Unless someone does, it's an overstatement, especially in light of evidence that these reports (from well-reputed financial news institutions, not random internet rumors) do regularly turn out to be indicative of future performance (and no presently provided evidence to the contrary).

This new supply chain story also appears to be indicative of a true underlying trend in actuals as well, just as the previously cited one was. From the USA Today article on this same news: "Apple has hinted throughout the year sales of its iPhone would decline. Fiscal year revenue for 2016 dropped for the first time in fifteen years. Meanwhile, fourth quarter iPhone shipments were down 5% from the same time last year."

So, that's likey 2 for 2...

If you have a more rigorous analysis to back up the claim that there is no relationship historically between well-sourced reports by well-reputed and widely read financial news operations about iPhone supply chain dynamics to subsequent sales trends, then please provide it. If instead it was just an assertion from air, then it is an overstatement. One could reasonably say that the relationship is unclear. Or that it's hard to say how these reports relate to subsequent actuals. Or even that there are instances (if you can provide them) where these sorts of reports turn out to belie the trend in actuals. But saying flat out that there is no relationship meets the exact definition of overstatement unless it's backed-up.

I think we will start to limit our capability for diversity soon. Population control, anti-aging and direct genetic control will limit the opportunities for change. A case of our short term culture conflicting with our long term biology.

Had to upgrade bios/firmware (with Dell-provided download, via bios-integrated flash utilities, so no Windows or DOS boot necessary).

Had to use a custom kernel for skylake/nvme; 4.5-rc7 for wily run ok for me, though there are some boot warnings. Still having (rare, like once a month) problems with the touchpad. Battery charge lasts much shorter than Apple notebooks.

I believe Dell's developer edition has the slightly more expensive Intel WLAN option, but I have no trouble with mine (Broadcom?).

If you're looking for a developer notebook for Linux and can wait until it's delivered (1-2 weeks or more?) I think Dell's developer edition XPS 13 with preinstalled Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is one of the best, if not the best, option available.

Back when I needed one, this offering wasn't available in Germany, but cyperport.de had a plain XPS 13 available in retail store, and I needed it asap. I liked that cyperport.de shops had the XPSs and various Lenovos available in store (unlike eg. big retailers here which have hundreds of cheap/crap notebooks with glare screens etc. but not a single pro notebook), so they got my money.

I have the non-touchscreen variant (I hate glare screens). But I believe next time I have to reconsider because a notebook in that price range shoud have HiDPI today.
Here is an actual, biochemical take on the subject of refined sugar:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

Here is probably what happened to advertise fat as bad in the first place:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/13/well/eat/how-the-sugar-ind...

The first link I can't argue with, the second one maybe.

We do need balanced diets, but, natural balanced diets. Throwing pure sugar into it, isn't making it balanced of any sort.
I hear it. I feel the severity of the burns, the requirement for skin grafts should come into play, but I can put that aside.

It should also be clarified, it was not 700 previous reports of burns, it was 700 previous lawsuits. That implies that there were far more burns and spills that did not result in lawsuits. On your part though, the lack of infamy implies there were plenty of cases that were settled or where the judge agreed with McDonalds.

In the Too Much Coffee Man comic (if you'll forgive getting some info from a comic) others have posted: http://www.tmcm.com/tmcm/mcdonalds-coffee-lawsuit/ It's important to note the emotionally offensive arguments that were made by McDonalds, that actually helped tilt the case over to Stella Liebeck's side. Mainly, I expect, that she was asking for too much money because she was so old that she wouldn't get much more use out of her ahem parts. The awarding of punitive damages, I expect had to do with the 700 previous lawsuits which resulted in no change in behaviour.

Spilling a bit of coffee, especially when the cup is at its fullest and hottest, especially when in the cramped confines of a vehicle, is a common enough occurrence that I don't consider it unreasonable that McDonalds should have taken earlier action.

The Starbucks approach also highlights the liability - because you must request that temperature, it can more reasonably be claimed that you should know to take extra precaution. Certainly, it can't be claimed that you didn't know just how hot it was going to be.

For what it's worth, I've had to revise a little just how clear cut this is. But I still feel that the legal system was working as intended, that this lawsuit doesn't deserve its frivolous reputation, and that it's important for ordinary citizens to have these methods of recourse against giant corporations.
"Grit" by Angela Duckworth contains excellent examples of the unfair outcomes false negatives cause. She's also published research dealing with this topic:

http://www.pnas.org/content/108/19/7716.abstract

People can get bad scores just because they are really nervous, etc. Now you have a score, that does not display your innate abilities at all, but, it blocks you from several activities you might excel and enjoy.

To inject some qualitative opinions of my own, totally lacking of any refrences:

IQ tests can be used to sieve through populations - with false negatives. Their only utility in career context is as an arbitrary tool to reduce candidate population. The only sane motivation for their use would be a political or economic pressure to restrict number of candidates to make their evaluation and processing cheaper downstream. The downsides are: arbitrary unfair blocking of individual careers, potentially removing candidates that would excel. If the point is to reduce the population, then generally, if the cost function of candidate quality cannot be evaluated precisely, a completely random process would likely lead to a better outcome than some arbitrary numeric metric. (I'll need to dig through my algorithm resources to formulate a precise reference if someone wants for this last statement).
Thanks for that code. I don't know anything about Haskell so I attempt a UX test:

results is an array of Int, but do the double [[ ]] brackets mean something special? I hope they do, otherwise why planting doubts in people's mind.

<- is assignment or pattern matching, probably the latter.

the $ after guard is... what? Maybe a noop like Python's :

Maybe

guard $ expression
something

is equivalent to

if expression
something

If this is the case, it's much less readable because people are left guessing. The lack of indentation doesn't help either.

u is probably the variable that's iterated over in where u = [1..26]

Not very readable to put that after every use of u. This is easier to read

where u = [1..26] do

which is many languages is

for u in [1..26] do

I can imagine that where is more general and is used in other contexts.

Don't take these as criticisms of Haskell, only as a UX test. Python's list comprehensions have never been very readable to me. This Haskell loop is somewhat better.

I'm sure there are good reason for designing Haskell's syntax like that. Programming languages belong to lineages and tend to perpetrate the syntax of their parents. It makes them easier to adopt to developers well versed in their parent languages but that could also make them difficult to grasp for developers of other language families. Maybe luring imperative developers into the functional world is not one of the goals of Haskell and Haskell has achieved its goals as it is.

Still I believe that the first functional language that looks like an imperative language will move many developers from OOP to functional. Elixir attempted that, consciously or not, but it's not enough. The barrier there are the OTP patterns, which are not easy to use properly. There are many different choices for writing a process (what in OOP would be an object with its own CPU) and its hard to chose the proper one. GenServer, Agent, Task? Nobody is asking these kind of questions in Ruby or Python https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/elixir-lang-talk/DCT...

There is also the code to add them to the supervision tree (the cool systemd-inside-the-language thing of Erlang and Elixir). I can't help thinking that Elixir has to be streamlined.
I think the article describes a good approach because it sets you on track to improve your diet overall, by making you used to the relative lack of sugar in unprocessed (healthier) foods.

Not so - with UDP I know that the endpoint won't discard packets that arrive out of order, and won't bother me with retrans requests for stale packets that didn't arrive... different priorities, different kinds of 'guarantees'
This is basically completely backwards. Also, you seem to be criticizing this solution because its not perfect. Hint: there is no perfect solution.
That is, indeed, quite probable. But he did predict that Wikileaks would be a problem for her. That's non-specific enough that he could've been lucky.

But as long as we're wondering who might've leaked what, you have to admit that he's at least suspicious. He has had a longstanding grudge against them and I can totally imagine him hiring some hacker group.

Yes, but is unlikely that you overdose your daily sugar intake with fruits whereas with a can of coke or a bag of ships you're already overdosing. Besides that, fruits have nutrients and other elements that help fight the possible downsides of the fructuose.
I don't know how much of the HN community is old enough to remember Colin Powell just prior to the first Iraq war, getting up in front of the UN and the whole world for that matter, and asserting that there was ironclad proof that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (which we came to know as WMD). Different parts of the government had the same talking points and it was all presented as irrefutable facts. But the evidence General Powell laid out was not convincing to me at all, or to many other people. Grainy photos, reports of known arms dealers appearing in coffee shops or hotel lobbies at the same time as other key people.. it was all circumstantial and ended up being utter and complete bullshit.

This wave of claims with "incontrovertible" (but secret!) evidence that "Russia hacked the US" seems like the same kind of thing. I doubt they have proof, even if they say they do... even if their claims are made in good faith, they could be dead wrong. And more importantly I doubt the underlying premise, that Russia would even be so stupid as to try such a thing. The American people are stupid enough to vote ourselves into this situation; we didn't need any help from the outside for it to happen. There may have been hacks, but I doubt they were orchestrated by the Russian government and I REALLY doubt the credibility of the US government making claims about this kind of thing after their past record with things like the Iraq WMD.
You're asking the wrong question. The right question is how do you sell your service of building apps or thingiwhatever as a freelancer.

That's where it gets difficult, because you have services that help you sell like freelancer.com - that are easy to go through but you get market price.

Then there's selling your services at higher prices, which is finding clients and offering your services - no clear cut way to do. You'll also find its not as clear cut as being your own boss that is just illusory, it's like being in a job but getting no benefits with it and being able to be let go at any time. Also it is difficult to get clients.

Unless rates drop dramatically in a short-period of time (like in 2012), refinancing opportunities are rare. From the 1980s, you wouldn't have had a refinance opportunity until the mid 90s.
Honestly, I think the reason most authors tend to have so much success with the new fad diet of the week is that for the month or whatever that they run the diet, they're actually monitoring their food intake and making an effort to eat more balanced meals.

The diet itself seems almost irrelevant. Just the simple act of paying attention to what you eat (counting calories is an excellent starting point) will help more than anything, as you'll more easily recognize poor trends in your food choices, and the awareness will encourage you to diversify your diet.

As a German, I cannot begin to explain how much I despised the guy's work and public persona. A life's work dripping with perpetual delusions of moral high ground contrasted by the very late revelation of having been one of those he so colorfully looked down upon. Apologetic rambling on behalf of the general populace who didn't know anything about what was going on and couldn't have done anything, either.

Grass was a supreme example of everything wrong with this nation and that's not even mentioning his repulsive, monotonous style of writing.

Well, you may be quite right. We'll see if they can create a critical mass to keep going.
From the article:

result = [x
for sublist in nested_list
for x in sublist
if x % 3 == 0
]

I rarely nest comprehensions, but I will occasionally have more than one condition in the filter at the end, or some condition in the selection at the front.

Except for the simplest comprehensions, I tend to write mine similar to above, with indents to highlight what part of the comprehension is what.

The utility of a comprehension is not so much concise notation. Instead it's that a comprehension is an expression (that has an associated value), rather than the for loop which is a statement.

Similar to the trinary operator: its advantage is not merely that it replaces an if statement visually, it's that it's a directly usable expression (that can be composed in a (preferably short) chain of trinaries).

This highlights the four things that fizzbuzz requires:

print '\n'.join([
'fizzbuzz' if x%15 == 0 else
'fizz' if x%3 == 0 else
'buzz' if x%5 == 0 else
str(x) for x in xrange(1, 101)])

Gratuitous demo filter conditions:

print '\n'.join([
'fizzbuzz' if x%15 == 0 else
'fizz' if x%3 == 0 else
'buzz' if x%5 == 0 else
str(x) for x in xrange(1, 101)
if x%2 == 0 or x%2 != 0])

If nested comprehensions make things harder to understand, I'll sometimes move an inner comprehension out:

subrange = {x for x in range(1, 101)}
print '\n'.join([
'fizzbuzz' if x%15 == 0 else
'fizz' if x%3 == 0 else
'buzz' if x%5 == 0 else
str(x) for x in subrange
if x%2 == 0 or x%2 != 0])

EDIT: OCD forces me to rewrite:

subrange = {x for x in range(1, 101)}
print '\n'.join([
'fizzbuzz' if x%15 == 0 else
'fizz' if x%3 == 0 else
'buzz' if x%5 == 0 else
str(x)
for x in subrange
if x%2 == 0 or x%2 != 0])

FURTHER EDIT: argh!

subrange = (x for x in range(1, 101))

Original was a set comprehension. That it worked "in order" was a happy accident. Further edit is a generator.

This is ridiculous. Flash is a hack on a cludge, 20+ years of legacy code, fiddling with raw chunks of memory for speed and with no type system enforcement. You couldn't do animation or FMV with javascript in the past, these were features only recently supported by browser or standards. The only spec for flash is the implementation.

Google went to significant efforts to sandbox it, but that still caused problems, not least with additional complexity. As for this idea that NPAPI should continue to live... Yes "security" is a problem with NPAPI.

As for Google fixing Java... You may have heard of Oracle? And the fact that they are .... not nice?
