I think it's a feature of having a populous and very geographically large country. There's simply too much politics going on for any individual or even bureaucratic control to track and keep sane. Most politics in the mass of issues always swilling around doesn't really affect you, being targeting to specific industries or localities, though they have messy long tail effects as they're constantly over-applied.

I recall seeing a snippet of the Prime Minister of the UK being asked about a mail box on some particular street corner in London, in an open forum. He knew exactly what was being discussed. Smaller countries have their politicians more tangibly connected to people, as opposed to local representatives being seated thousands of miles away as is the case in the US.

People also forget that the US is set up kind of more like the EU, rather than most other countries. It's a federation of independent states, with deference of law to those states, except for those powers specifically granted to the federal government (at least on paper). This is a yet another abstraction level layered on top of politics that many people in other countries don't conceive.

So propaganda easily overwhelms people's natural gleaning of what's going on.
I have heard that it's impossible to prove. Sweden cannot say "this will not happen" as they cannot see the future and the US cannot say "we will not issue a request" as they cannot issue one until he is Sweden. The US could say what their intentions are though.

The most accepted usage among those sensitive at all to gender identity (since the person is the same) seems to be to use the current pronouns for all references to the person, even if they are to times before their current gender identity was generally recognized by others (or even formed clearly, though only the former is arguably relevant in this discussion of Manning.)

> At the time of the leaks Chelsea Manning identified as Bradley, a male.

Manning's first discussion with a gender counselor about identifying as a woman was a couple months before her first contact with WikiLeaks; presumably there was some time lapse between recognizing the identity and talking to a counselor. So, from the evidence available, I don't think it's correct that Manning identified as male at the time of the leaks.

There is a public API to get them out on the Mac — the Notes app is scriptable via AppleScript. You could loop through folders, notes, and attachments to get things pretty close to where they are in the app.
Precisely. Except i don't think it's a "mistake".
> She was always a she, even though she was presenting as a man at the time.

Sorry, I don't agree. Gender should not be retconned. Please do your activism in a different forum.
the white house comment about snowden is incredible. Snowden basically released evidence of wrong doing on the part of the US agencies and he is made a scapegoat while the agencies continue business as usual. Oh and tough luck he happens to be in Russia which is now on the official enemys list, while it is completely irrelevant for snowden's actions.
I'd like the answer to that, too. From everything I've read, this seems to be FUD.
The term confirmation is a bad one. It gives people the impression that they have to wait 10 might.s to an hour to know if they have their money. The moment you see a transaction in you wallet, you have it, you just have to wait 10 mins to an hour to spend it. So to compare this to legacy systems which take 3-5 days and claim its too slow seems unfair.
> But there are also interpreted interpreters aren't there?

I mean, not in use.... What would be the point? Every other interpreter worth using is AOT compiled, it's hardly something to boast about.

One exception might be JRuby, I suppose. Kind of a strange comparison to go out of your way to disabuse.
This looks great. Exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks.
As I pointed out in my initial comment, I personally value your comments when you're civil. I think they add to the overall discussion. I don't think anyone on Hacker News needs a "particularly disapproving Greek chorus" of any particular opinion. Less charitable people might argue it's indistinguishable from trolling. It's distracting and leads to bad faith and flamewar discussions, and is explicitly against community guidelines. I sincerely wish you the best and hope that you continue to engage constructively and positively, even when you disagree or believe people to be unreasonable. Best wishes.
Agreed. There will probably always be specialty and high end restaurants, where it's more about the experience (in some way). If you want mass produced, a robot is great for that. But they're not so great for limited runs. Which is to say that general purpose robots (for any application) are a long way off.

I think we'll adapt as a race, but it'll be mighty uncomfortable for some (say those reliant on low skilled jobs, truck drivers, fast food workers, etc.). It's not to say that the way things will get done will even look the same as the transition occurs. I suspect many things will look different. For instance, rather than speaking your order to a person at McDonald's, you make your selections from a menu and a machine creates it, and then you pick it up and take it back to your table. Redbox already does this for movie rental. Think about how they've changed what we expect of renting movies... Same for home construction, particularly of the cookie cutter variety. Rather than a crew of people going through the motions to excavate a hole, lay a foundation, frame the house, put up drywall, paint, etc., Maybe it'll just be 3D printed with a huge machine (this tech actually exists, if in its infancy). Or maybe we'll switch to brick houses because they make brick laying robots (not humanoid, more like boxes which can move around). The next decade or two will be interesting!
Ahh, learned something new. Informative comment.
Ok that makes more sense then.

Still, I would recommend implementing some crappy UI only enabled on dev to do this.
> Photo labs (places where physical photos were developed and edited) were replaced by digital post processing.

Not at all. The mass of work was not done for professionals, but for the mass market. And that one totally disappeared, almost nobody gets photos developed any more compared to hundreds of millions (billions ?) of people before. Of course it was already automated, but now there is isn't anyone left to feed the machine, to check the result, to send the photos or deliver them at the desk, since even the machines are gone...
I'm not referencing any fleshed out theory that I'm aware of.

>Why are assault and murder treated differently then?

Well, assault covers a wide range of violent actions, some of which are very unlikely to cause death and others that are highly likely to cause death. Thus it makes sense to treat the actions differently because the likely outcome is different.
Rather than being an example of Godwin's law, though, this is a historically analogous comparison of US war crimes justifications in Iraq to the Nuremberg defense and doesn't suggest impending ethnic genocide where there is none.

>Why do 77% of IT security professionals think that their information security policies and teams are slowing IT down?

I work in aerospace so my experience is perhaps not as on-point as a netsec pro, but my gripe is that the "IT professionals" are more often than not 50-somethings who still doubleclick hyperlinks and tell stories about 2 guys that "picked up a virus" by "emailing back and forth", seemingly not understanding that one guy got malware and it spread via email, as if malware attaches itself to passing packets in the nether regions of cyberspace as it travels down the tubes.
I'm probably out of date. Used to be, you had to have plugins to open exotic formatted files like "pdf"; initially the plugin for that just imported the flat bitmap. But that was long ago.
I completely disagree with this. I am also a few years shy of 50 and way ahead compared with 20+ year old self-styled "ninja" developers. They simply don't know what they don't know. They truly believe that they are "experts" or "ninjas" because they have read a few tutorials on the latest soon-to-be-forgotten fashionable language/framework. Or believe that framework/language X is truly something new because a "hello world" web application is easy to write. And then a year later, when things get tough and the realise that the wonder framework/language has limitations, they jump ship to yet another shiny "silver bullet" framework/language that will save them from having to actually learn the hard stuff, allowing themselves to still believe that they are "ninjas". Meanwhile, people who actually know their stuff take over the ruins of their efforts and make it work. Rewriting it step by step to fix it.
Does anyone here have any context for whether the concerns about AES and Tesla batteries is at all founded or is it just journalistic hype?

I find it hard to believe that those companies haven't thought through battery management at this scale. They both have pretty solid engineering records and ability to deliver--not saying new things don't have teething problems--but fires and explosions?
I just took that part out, after thinking about it for a little bit. Our default pattern of speech is to choose "he" or "she" if we know one of these pronouns is correct, so the use of singular-they is nearly always deliberate.
Which means Assange knew it was a double bind when he said what he said. They never tried to extradite him, even if it was implied. This now means that everyone expects the US to extradite him, which is what they were trying to avoid to begin with by extraditing him to Sweden. And, if they do extradite him, the US will have to come up with a reason why they didn't to begin with.

Brilliant move and interesting timing. This chess match is just getting going.
I've been surprised to not find anything for ctrl-F "Bayes". It turns out that traditional deductive logic is simply a special case of applying Bayes rule in order to find out the state of some binary variables given the other variables in which the probabilities are only 0 or 1. See for example these examples from Barber's "Bayesian Reasoning and Machine Learning" (p. 39):

>> It would be frustrating to go through all of this free highly specialized work

Give me a break. He didn't perform "free highly specialized work". If only I could walk uninvited into any business of my choosing, do whatever work I feel like doing without being hired - or even talking to someone first - and then demand attention, recognition, and/or payment.

Anyone who releases security vulnerabilities to the public without acknowledgement from the company is an unprofessional parasite on society. Even moreso with there being less than a month between discovery and public release.

Consulting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Venus the atmosphere is mainly CO2 and molecular nitrogen, neither of which reacts with sulfuric acid. The clouds are at 10km and up, so they don't interact much with the surface, which has a tallest mountain peak of 11km.
I really like this approach from the dotnet world but with one caveat. The language server assumes a project layout and doesn't allow for any variation from that. This has problems when you're generating code, say a web service interface or some lexx/yacc source. I like these to go in my build output (because they're build artifacts not source material), but AFAIK you can't tell the language server to also look at these files.

Another example is when you want to share code between projects without a seperate dll, like with a client/server model. Easy enough to do with make et al but not with a language server.

Neither problem is insurmountable though.
Site works great on my Nexus 5X. Works almost as well as a regular PDF opened in a native app.
Interesting. Admittedly not a native speaker, I never found pitch accent used to distinguish between homophones during my time in Japan, nor was it introduced in any of the courses I took on Japanese while I was there, including the examples you provide.
Pay per use sometimes works well and sometimes doesn't. I don't think I've ever seen an intellectually rigorous analysis of what factors may favor all-you-can-eat vs. pay-as-you-go. Pretty much all of us have examples from daily life that are more toward one end of the scale or another.

By and large, it seems that once you get to $1+ per unit cost, people are willing to put at least a modicum of thought into whether they want to buy/rent something. For a long period, people had no problem renting a film (or going to a theater) for $5 or so. There wasn't a lot of demand for unlimited passes. (Of course, now we have Netflix as well.)

I suspect it's the literal nickel and dime-ing that's the problem. It's too small a transaction to want to fuss with. Think if you had to go through some sort of transaction process every time you flipped on a light switch (which is pay-as-you-go but the financial transaction is largely opaque). And I strongly suspect that, at the end of the day, the dollar amounts involved just wouldn't be large enough to be interesting.
The 'cloud' is still composed of physical machines which somebody is responsible for. Many of those people (as compared to the general public) read Hacker News.
>If you feel a whistleblower who also causes unrelated data to be leaked "doesn't count,"

Again with the mischaracterizations! You should stop that.

I feel someone who had no knowledge or suspicion of wrongdoing and no intention to just reveal wrongdoing does not count as a whistleblower. Pretty simple.
Just that you can toggle between a Markdown preview. I see how it can be ambiguous. Markdown though is going to be decoupled from the main app and served as an extension instead.
I'm the original author of pixie, and yeah, I'm a bit surprised to see this hit HN today.

It should be mentioned that I put about a year of work into this language, and then moved on about a year or so ago. One of the biggest reasons for my doing so is that I accomplished what I was looking for: a fast lisp that favored immutability and was built on the RPython toolchain (same as PyPy). But in the end the lack of supporting libraries and ecosystem became a battle I no longer wanted to fight.

Another goal I had was to see how far I could push immutability into the JIT. I learned a lot along the way, but it turns out that the RPython JITs aren't really that happy with VMs that are 99.99% pure. At one point I had a almost 100% immutable VM running for Pixie...as in each instruction executed created a new instance of the VM. It worked, but the JIT generated by RPython wasn't exactly happy with that execution model. There was so much noise in the maintenance of the immutable structures that the JIT couldn't figure out how to remove them all, and even when it could the JIT pauses were too high.

So anyways, after pouring 4 hours a day of my spare time into Pixie for a full year, I needed to move on.

Some other developers have commit rights and have pushed it along a bit, but I think it's somewhat a language looking for usecase.

And these days ClojureScript on Node.js could probably be made to handle most peoples needs.

And how do I know this by the way? Because I have done it many many times in my career. Taking over a ruin build by "ninjas" and making it actually work and bug free in production. Meanwhile the "ninjas" have jumped ship to another company, building a new ruin with some new "better" framework/language. Until of course things get tough and they again jump ship, leaving the ruin to somebody who actually know what they are doing.

Yeah, exactly. In my observation, even when people are trying to use "they" - like if they're telling someone a story where they're deliberately obfuscating someone's gender - folks often slip up midway through.

No that's something completely different. travisl12 is talking about the 'exploding head syndrome'.

Secrecy and deception. Advertising and corporate PR are open about their interests, purveyors of payola and positive-reviews-for-freebies are usually recognisable and the people involved often admit it.

Outright fabrication of big lies by paid PR/psyops operatives who pretend to be "one of us" is a different kettle of fish, and if it is repeated thousandfold, even people who are normally skeptic might at least perceive it as a plausible mainstream view.
Two implementations, not three.

It was originally implemented in WebKit, rather than Chrome (heck, it predates Chrome being public). As far as I'm aware, there were lots of politics behind closed doors (i.e., inside the companies involved) that resulted in there being no attempt to even specify a dialect of SQL (whether it were SQLite or otherwise), hence the inevitable failure of any SQL-based standard. Something not-SQL was the best that could get standardised, sadly.

That is a fair way of looking at it (and consistent with prevailing definitions). However, Manning strongly suspected wrongdoing, made herself aware of it, and leaked a video in which it was blindingly obvious. She doesn't fall under your exclusion at all.
What I'm hoping for is self-previewing Markdown -- where you use the equivalent of syntax highlighting to approximate how the Markdown will be rendered. Lines starting with # are bigger, links are links, and so on. Bullets don't even need to be changed, except possibly in color.

The split-pane approach, with one Markdown pane and one WYSIWYG pane, is such a waste of screen space, when self-previewing Markdown is all you need if you're not trying to create a published document.

A former Show HN project, bluedocs.io, offered this by default. But now it's defunct (and my notes are lost with it).

What do you mean in your experience? Summing integers can take two orders of magnitude more time and it doesn't matter? I think it goes without saying in discussions of performance, we narrow our focus to performance sensitive applications and not CRUD database web frontends. I can tell you in the vast majority of performance sensitive numerical applications, that would matter. It would have to be massively disk bound for it to be overshadowed completely by I/O. Just saying. :)

You are not going to convince others by insulting them. Also, HN is not the place to try and convince anybody to think the way you do, because that leads to flamewars (if you have an opinion, you'll stick to it, no?), and guys here detest flamewars.
