Yes. This is one of the most ridiculous PR fails of the year.

There's no way to contextualize or get around that statement.

Well, when it was $1,000 one of my friends was waiting to sell until it hits $1,200, which it never did. The peak is only evident in hindsight. Still glad I sold at $900 considering I bought several years ago after the last crash.
You're welcome. Glad it ended up helping people. I didn't really follow up on what people suggested yet. Your comment reminded me that I should look into that again, so thanks :).
Looks like a good update. Thanks for sharing this wonderful case study in user experience!
Well it's a better time.
> in practice the closure syntax and logical or do not lead to confusion (imho, ymmv).

That's true. But put your self in the mind of a C developer looking at Rust code for the first time:

if a || b {
println!("True");
}

Cool.

Then:

thread::spawn(|| println!("Hello from a thread!"););

What? What is the logical or doing there?

IIRC, there are also cases where you have to write `& &`
instead of `&&` to not confuse the compiler. That's
a design/practical issue.

Both those issues would have been avoided if literal `and`/`or` were used.

I find it interesting how the only thing that momentarily confused me, as a C developer, about Rust syntax, was caused by Rust authors not wanting to syntactically deviate too much from C.
Maintaining a list of bot useragents would be a pain, but I guess testing if the useragent contains 'bot' would work for most.

I spent the last decade living in a struggling city, and I was actively involved in city government. In my city, it was a case of limited resources more than anything else. There were something like 300 miles of roadway, but only enough money in the budget to pave three miles a year.

No, I totally agree that founderkit is useful, I'm just saying it's not the tool that I personally want or need. I have a clear vision for the site I really want, and am surprised no one is doing it yet.

I'm not sure if those are the right way for us to grieve? Personally, I found the Jewish mourning ritual of Shiva to be more fulfilling than funerals.

We might need to change the way we grieve too? The book "On Death and Dying" points out that advances in science have made it harder to accept death in our modern age, since a "cure" could legitimacy be just around the corner.

This comment fails to distinguish clearly the differing situations and attitudes in re West Bank vs Gaza. Israel (including Likud) is far along a path of disengagement from Gaza

The evidence of Bill's sexual harassment is actually much thinner, since there is no tape or anything except several women's accusations (his confirmed affairs are a different matter - they were consensual and Trump also had plenty of affairs and these weren't the issue). And in one case there are several other people who testify against that woman.

Preponderance of evidence is there is a greater than 50% chance of it being true. One person's word against another never meets that standard.

Broaddrick denied her accusations in an affidavit, and later retracted that denial. That destroys her credibility.

Edit: The only legit accusation is Paula Jones's, since Bill settled that case. Regardless, this is Bill Clinton. There is no evidence Hillary attacked Paula.
Those quotes were preceded by, and intended to emphasize this statement:
--
"Mr. Thiel shows, again and again, how he likes to “flip around” issues to see if conventional wisdom is wrong, a technique he calls Pyrrhonian skepticism.

“Maybe I do always have this background program running where I’m trying to think of, ‘O.K., what’s the opposite of what you’re saying?’ and then I’ll try that,” he says. “It works surprisingly often.” "
--
That clearly provides more context in that Theil was trying to demonstrate his contrarian mindset.
It's true I use and see unwrap more.
Well, mysql was started before 2000, so it gets a pass. But I'm also pretty sure mysql doesn't allow unauthenticated writes, so it doesn't need one?
It's evidence that he's willing to talk about a wide range of topics, not that he has great knowledge in those areas.
Should I have respect for Peter Thiel in him trying to help Trump? It is odd, maybe he is playing Trump, maybe Elon is too?

I feel like even talking to Trump validates his lies and just disgusting moral integrity of what it means to be American.
Well, I think the main thing Founderkit IS doing right is targeting the small startup.
Many people dream of having children, of raising them and caring for them with their spouses, of helping them be kind, happy, healthy, educated successful people, of sharing triumphs and defeats with them.

When they learn a child is coming, they're joyful. They work and sacrifice in anticipation: everything from the mother's morning sickness (which, contrary to the name, can happen all day long) to preparing a nursery to finding a day care (which in crazy places like Silicon Valley people often have to do in advance of the birth to secure a spot). They share the happy news with friends and family and coworkers and strangers, have a baby shower, etc.

In some cases, they've been trying to have a child for years. Maybe they're getting up in age and worried they're losing their chance. Maybe they've spent a lot of time and money on fertility treatments. Maybe they've had previous miscarriages.

I've never experienced a miscarriage and hope I never will, but I can imagine some of the disappointment and sadness of never getting to know this new little person, of knowing the sickness was for nothing, of seeing of all these items they bought that now remind them of what might have been, of telling people it didn't work out, of undoing all that work done in preparation of something that won't happen, and of wondering if it's worth it to try again.
In this case, it's https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/b9637f79e261d0b90d23b...

So, specifically. Rust has "traits", which, for these purposes, work like Ruby modules. But. Rust has "coherence rules." That is,

You can only implement a trait for a type if you defined either the trait, or the type, or both.

So, because libstd (well, Rust itself, but you get the idea) all three of FromStr, &str, and SocketAddr, it's allowed to do this. You, in your own package, could not define this, since you wouldn't have defined any of them.

In tokio-core, they bring SocketAddr into scope: https://docs.rs/tokio-core/0.1.3/src/tokio_core/net/tcp.rs.h...

However, I was thinking of a slightly different case when I said that, which is methods. That is, you couldn't call methods unless they've had their traits brought into scope. But parse isn't on a trait; it's defined on `str` itself. In that definition, it also has to bring FromStr into scope.

So basically, this is very muddled by the fact that this particular example uses the standard library heavily, which already implicitly brings a lot of things (like &str) into scope for you. External packages don't have that.
That's really fucked up.

I made a couple of replies to some comments, but i thought i would do a little post of details about something like this.

I worked on a similar system for star citizen, using the inbuilt windows voice recog system.

At it's core, systems like this are primarily voice activated macro's. They are a lot more useful for twitch/combat based games (specifically flight simulators).

I would listen to microphone input, do a comparison for a specific string and emulate a keyboard press(or a combination of them for x amount of time) based on what was said. (Mouse too some times - although i spoke to tech support for star citizen, and had to be careful of how complex some commands could be, to ensure i did not break the eula).

Side note:
I have stopped production of mine until star citizen gets a little further along (and i am also working on a natural speaking system, to detect what you mean for the system to do, instead of specific strings - eg if i said show shields, show me the shields, lets see the shields it would differentiate between that and say putting the shield power forward).
All basically true and valid, as far as Clinton's behavior is concerned.

However, it's also a completely immaterial to the subject of Donald Trump's behavior. And and to the subject of FB board member, and YC advisor Peter Thiel's attempt to obfuscate and normalize that "behavior" (i.e. sexual violence) -- even more so.

You appear to be the one and only person that this worked for. As I stated in my original comment, clicking over from Google (which is the entire point of the "web" link) doesn't solve it. I don't know why it solved it for you, but judging from the comments on this article it literally only worked for you. This is a problem on all FT links. From here on out I will simply automatically flag any FT link on HN.

When you say "some are not," you actually only mean "I am not". Please show some regard for other people.
It's a shame anyone has to do jobs like these. But forcing people to do it? (I assume the alternative was not to have a job there at all.) That's ridiculous.

I also tend to believe the former employees about the rest of the working conditions. At the very least, the employee has a clear history of having problems with the work, and the company should have been better about handling this. There's no way they could fail to foresee that this work could have terrible effects on someone's mind.

Optimizing for future use would generally lead you to purging most older books altogether, as newly released books generally have higher readership. With few exceptions its unlikely for popular taste to switch to a classic book en masse at the same time.

The only exception is if you knew a school were to assign the book as required reading to an entire grade - but that's really a rare and special case.

FWIW I think there is room for curated "should read" sections in a library. Optimizing purely for use is more the purview of a bookstore. But to support that the bulk of the shelf space should be serving the broadest use possible.
That is a bit harsh. Go outside of any large city in the US and you are basically in Trump supporters' territory. Even SV is basically Trump area with their third world billionaire enclave. SV basically develops and sells the services and tech that empowers candidates and Americans such as Trump.

An aunt of mine had two (or three?) miscarriages before having her first child. Each time she was absolutely devastated. Honestly I'm pretty surprised that anyone would find that hard to understand. I'm not really big on children (and am childless myself) but trying hard to intentionally get pregnant* , anticipating a child for months, preparing yourself emotionally, and even making space in your home for a child, only to have a miscarriage has got to be one of the most traumatic things I can imagine. Short of losing an already born child or a spouse. In the case of my aunt she went through a really rough time where she blamed herself and later God for her suffering. I don't think that's cultural at all. I think that's just part of being human.

As someone who isn't really interested in having kids it's easy to forget that some people really want them. It is baked into our DNA and has been since before we as a species walked the Earth. If the pregnancy wasn't an accident then it's no wonder people mourn over a miscarriage. As far as they were concerned it was their future child. And I say that as someone who is very much not pro-life.

* Conception is not as easy as abstinence-only education would have you believe. Some perfectly fertile couples try for years before successfully conceiving.

Being informed isn't a passive state, but an active one. One of the dangers of getting a reputation for being knowledgeable is that it creates the risk of buying into your own mythology and slacking on the activity on which the reputation was built.

Coupled with the fact that knowledge is often much narrower and more domain-specific than the reputation for knowledge that it produces, and it's quite easy for someone who has, due to time and energy invested in one domain (plus generally-applicable rhetorical skill), built a well-justified reputation for knowledge to end up turning out to be quite ill-informed (if still rhetorically skilled) in other domains in which they have an interest and choose to be an active pontificator.

“But there’s a point where no corruption can be a bad thing. It can mean that things are too boring.”

No journalist would just change topic after hearing this. It's a very controversial and ambiguous statement, and Thiel must have elaborated a great deal on it. But there is no further mention of any of that in the article.
Being contrarian is being contrary for the sake of being contrary.
If its non American does it show up on your American credit report? If it doesn't it won't effect your American credit score at all, close it.

FICO 8 calculates "average age of accounts" as total months of all accounts on your credit report (both open and closed) from the open dates to the present, divided by the number of all accounts on your report. "Average age of accounts" is what they use in their scoring algorithm. They also factor in "age of oldest account" in their scoring algorithm which is why you shouldn't close your oldest account because it will drop off your credit report after 10 years. Closed accounts only stay on your credit report for 10 years.
Google tells me Dowd's done this at least once before, with André Leon Talley:

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/21/fashion/confirm-or-deny-a...
"Maureen Dowd: California should secede.

Peter Thiel: Confirm. I’d be fine with that. I think it would be good for California, good for the rest of the country. It would help Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign."

I don't see how the world's ~sixth largest economy succeeding from the world's 1st/2nd largest is good for the latter.

"You like “Star Trek” more than “Star Wars.”

Deny. I like “Star Wars” way better. I’m a capitalist. “Star Wars” is the capitalist show. “Star Trek” is the communist one. There is no money in “Star Trek” because you just have the transporter machine that can make anything you need. The whole plot of “Star Wars” starts with Han Solo having this debt that he owes and so the plot in “Star Wars” is driven by money."

I hope he's just trolling here. Preferring a future of the same old debtors and creditors as today, to one where plentiful energy can be transformed into any kind of matter the human race needs, eliminating the need for money?

Edit: actually he didn't say anything preferring one future or the other, so maybe he just likes Star Wars b/c it's more relatable to present day.
While this case is really tragic, and improvements can be made, I don't think it's fair really to say these people were _forced_ to do this work.

You say that the other option was to not work at Microsoft, well, this means they aren't being forced. They had the choice to not work that job role. Workers are not entitled to shop around within a company for a role that suits them, and companies are not obliged to offer the job role that an employee wants.

A coverage tool will not come remotely close to showing you untested paths. Array indexing, for example, is an implicit branch between every possible element in the array, but most coverage tools I've seen count just evaluating the indexing expression as covering the line. On the other hand, judicious use of indexed data types can guarantee a data path for all indices into the array. Simple sum types like Maybe and Either guarantee a data path for the more simple use cases of null or errors.

Uses of undefined functions and variables are not what people are talking about here (though those do happen in dynamic languages); we're talking about stuff that can't be checked locally (like "is a null allowed to come into the function at all, and if it does are you covering it") that are hard or impossible to catch with coverage tools.
China should simply go into another jurisdiction and start investigating it's nationals? It doesn't work like that.

They already have an annual limit of $50,000 that can be transferred out of the country, they also ask foreign countries for help in identifying corrupt officials and individuals transferring large amounts out of the country, rich Chinese have strategies to avoid the law.

In my own country i've seen that request largely ignored. The benefits are simply too high, the Govt here is well aware that sizable portions of this money is likely dirty money, but the bottom line for the economy eases that discomfort.

The push to crack down on foreign housing investment in cities across the world lately has been driven by angry locals and soaring house prices, despite the Chinese govt asking for something to that effect for over a decade.
Ah, yeah -- I debated putting these two paragraphs into the quote, but figured my post was getting a bit long in the tooth :)

How does this mindset influence your interpretation of his statement that a nonzero amount of corruption is good because otherwise things are "too boring"? To me, the preceding paragraphs seem to only confuse his intent -- it makes it sound like he could either be not taking the conversation seriously, or saying that he really does think that some corruption is a good thing.
