I'm still unclear about which particular Wikipedia page you would like to direct me to.

You've posted:

The incident had been reported and covered by the press, there was
no 'government cover up'. The new bit was the video itself.

You've then stated:

you can just read the wikipedia page

You've gone on to say:

As to the page, the page about the incident.

You've then stated:

You want me to direct you to basic information…you can trivially look up yourself

At no point have you given any source: neither primary, secondary, or other. It is hard to understand which material you are referring to, when you repeatedly will not source the material which you referring to. Your posts do not seem to contain any source material, so you seem to rely on third-party sources, but so far, you haven't identified any of those sources.

It would be great for everyone reading this thread, to understand the material on which you're basing these claims.

In my experience, almost every time someone leaves someone regrets it and someone doesn't. The manager who supervised the person will usually say it is for the best. I have worked with great managers who clean house and terrible managers who drive people away, or treat them as scapegoats. In either case it may be identified as healthy turnover.
What part of it can be attributed to Manning..? And what part of it can be contributed to food insecurity, economic downturns, the despots running those countries tightening the screws, the CIA's involvement, a civil war in Iraq, the Department of State jumping on the opportunity to stick it to Putin by destabilizing Assad?

Are any other architects of these disasters serving 35 years?
Zim[0] (open source) has a lot of these features. It saves your notes as plain markdown files, but has a WYSIWYG editor. You can link between notes. Add pictures, formatting, etc.

There is also a huge number of extensions, back when I was doing math stuff I used the LaTeX one pretty often. Another useful one is the calculator extension, which can evaluate simple expressions like 3 * 5 =.

Since it's just plain markdown files, you can save to Dropbox, git, NFS, or anything else really. There's even a built-in plugin to automatically commit to git periodically (useful for standalone notebooks, since you don't really want to be opening git manually).

I've yet to find anything better, although I do wish it had better support for "anonymous" notes. That is, notes that I don't really feel like organizing or naming.

It does both things. Pitch accent is the only thing distinguishing some homophones (hana, hasi, ame, kumo) but it's also got variation in dialects including a handful where the Tokyo and Osaka versions have the same distinction between two words except with the opposite meaning (sorry, I don't have examples off the top of my head).

Fortunately there aren't that many sentences where it's equally plausible you meant both spider and cloud.

It is wrong to misgender people. It is unacceptable. Why is it somehow more terrible to point that out than it is to do it in the first place?
Yet you continue to post. In all honesty, why do so? This is not meant in any way as a criticism. You've expressed this opinion of the HN community many times, so I'm genuinely interested why you continue to do so.
This looks great, but unfortunately unless Apple releases a way of exporting notes (including images, styling and categories), I will not be able to use this.

I have hundreds of documents within Apple Notes, and as far as I know there is no public API to get them out. :(
Haha, so to use extensions I have to download the source code, manually download the extensions with an npm package I have to install, and then use actual code to register it.

It's nice that it supports extensions, but I probably would have skipped the blog post before there's a more convenient method.

Also, the only distinguishing features mentioned seem to be a built in Adblocker and Https redirect?

> so that automation can make our lives easier and provide higher quality of life to all?

No one has explained to me how this is supposed to occur. I agree that if you were building a civilization from scratch and had this sort of automation available, you'd probably come up with a nice idealistic solution.

But as it is, starting from the world we live in today, these sorts of efficiency savings just seem to concentrate wealth in the hands of the robot owners.

I feel like companies would say "Oh, look at this, our production went up 10x at no increased cost. Now, should we use that increase to maximize our profits, or should we just raise wages and cut working hours in order to selflessly do our part towards creating a utopia?"
There's obviously no objective truth to whether pronouns apply retroactively; it's just social convention.

Clearly, it's polite to respect someone's wishes when talking to or about them, whether it's pronouns, nicknames, personal space, or umpteen other things. If you're introducing Chelsea to another friend, it seems only civil and natural to say "she [not he] was stationed at Fort Drum!"

However, I don't think a person can unilaterally require that the world around them retroactively change all references to a historical event, particularly when it renders some of those details nonsensical or wrong. History is written: documents were released by a person calling himself "Bradley Manning" and identifying as (and meeting biological criteria of) a male. Other aspects of the story -- from Manning's all-male combat team to his quarters in the USDB -- hinge on that fact. Manning's presence doesn't imply that the military unit was mixed-gender. One version reports the story as it was known to everyone involved; the other modifies it after the fact according to the unilateral wishes of the subject being reported on. That's not a good pattern, I don't think.

As an outsize example, if George W. Bush transitions to a female this year, the US will not celebrate that we've had our first female president.

I'm completely sympathetic to interpersonal civility, but empathy goes both ways; I think it's beyond the pale to expect society writ large to scramble, under penalty of being called bigots, to conform to what's frankly an unverifiable declaration of internal personal change on the order of a religious awakening (which oddly doesn't enjoy the same umbrella of unquestioned sanctimony).

I suspect that the key thing is making an employee feel valued or valuable (based upon the employee's motivations) rather than making them happier.

An employee that feels as though they are not valued by the company or feel as though they company does not feel that their contributions are valuable will probably see their job as insecure and will look for better opportunities.

I miss old PGA CPUs like that. They'd inevitably get bent, and you could almost always use the tip of a mechanical pencil (with the lead removed) to bend things back into almost exactly the right place and boot the machine. Nowadays everything is LGA and if you bend one of the tiny in-socket pins you're just sunk.

Another powerful animation library for the web with the same issue they all have: I can't give this to my graphic designers to use.

Am I the only one who thinks we killed Flash and left a void which no one has filled yet it terms of animating with an intuitive UI?
No, the correct way to do this is to use the individual's pronouns. Please note that the AP and the NYT have basically adopted the GLAAD style guide on this issue: http://www.glaad.org/reference/transgender

The NYT correctly stated in the parent article, "Ms. Manning was still known as Bradley Manning when she deployed with her unit to Iraq in late 2009." See how that works? She was always a she, even though she was presenting as a man at the time.
This exactly. Governments do need to be held accountable for secret crimes, secrecy should not be allowed to enable continuing those crimes. Exposing them was necessary, even if it was illegal.

I do think Manning was naive and sloppy for handing the whole thing over to Assange, though in her defense, Assange seemed fairly reasonable and responsible at the time. It's only after this enormous leak that he seems to have gone mad with power.
This post is a quintessential example of why blockchain discussions are met with negativity. Your response to criticism is to castigate the critics as unimaginative and averse to "out group" technologies rather than counter the criticism with substance. It's also telling that you suggest people use their imagination to find uses for blockchains; no other technology has such backwards expectations. When you start with a solution and have to brainstorm imaginative ways to discover a problem that fits your solution, you know you're dealing with a cargo-cult instead of an effective tool.

> I've recently had conversations with companies working on solving two big problems in large media buying agencies - bot-based fraud, and auditability of programmatic trading. These problems are being solved using the bitcoin blockchain.

How is the bitcoin blockchain solving these problems? Please offer some kind of details or explanation. I could be wrong, but I'm betting that you're going to offer an example of how the blockchain could, in theory, maybe solve some of these problems but there are practical barriers to implementation and no real solution to be seen. That is exactly what creates a negative response towards blockchains, big talk and nothing to show for it. Cryptocurrency is literally the only thing that blockchains have been demonstrated to be useful for yet we're constantly bombarded with claims that blockchains are going to solve countless problems and it never pans out.

It would also be interesting to know if "voluntary unemployment" was due to a family-toxic work-life balance from employers (ie, not choosing to work because working would mean 100% childcare time which may not be offset by the e.g. minimum wage income).

>> I wish people would see this manipulation

Is it really manipulation? Most/all world leaders have done a lot of good and a lot of bad. You can be angry at both the outgoing and incoming administration. There is no need to pick sides. Hopefully commuting this sentence will decrease any deterrence the administration has given to whistleblowers, because we need them to hold our governments accountable more than ever. Any checks and balances we think we have don't seem to be working.
Manning was in the military regardless of what and how it was released there is no possibility for "public interest" defense in this case.

Safari has. There's no green on the address bar for a DV cert, just a little grey padlock. But with an EV cert you get the green text and the legal name (in addition to the domain). So that makes it easy - if there's green, you can trust it to tell you the legal entity that you're talking to.
There were no filtering last time I've checked.
Now, it looks like they've fixed the problem by completely deleting search results page, it's returning 404 :)
How do you test database calls?
Pretty simple question, but I've never really known the best way to test something like this:

def get_results():
body = {"match_all" {}}
return elasticsearch.search(index='myindex', doc_type='mydoctype', body=body)

Should I run Elasticsearch locally, put in some test data, and test that I get back correct data from get_results()? Perhaps it's enough to mock the call to elasticsearch and test that it was actually called.
Can you talk a bit about how this compares to GSAP as a designer tool?
Solving a problem by experimenting is rarely useful. I'd call it accidental solution. You can improve by doing it the hard way. Do not write down anything unless you understand why you do it. As a test, try to answer the following question: "Why will it work?"
It is also useful to think about other solutions before committing to one. Try to come up with pros and cons.

You can improve your reasoning skills by fixing bugs. First observe the bug, try to make a hypothesis. Try to support it by reading the code (do not run it, don't use a debugger at this point). Once you have a plan, find evidence that support your theory. Once your theory is right, find a solution, and answer the question "why".

It will take time, but you will improve over time. For me, the key is patience.
I'm fairly sure that 'Open as Layers" allows you to open multiple files at the same time as layers in a single images, instead of opening and adding each individually. Open will open an image with all its layers as you would expect, it won't flatten it. Feather and Distort operate on the selection, so being under Select makes sense.
"Even if you assume my comments are pointless pedantry..."

Where did I use those words?

Responses like this make it hard for me to learn from the other person. Maybe you feel like we should all already know these things, but that simply is not reality. It is not always because the person is "transphobic", as you put it, but simply uneducated on a particular topic.
So HR has a vested interest in doing a poor enough job in hiring people that will not stay long (i.e. churn) so that they maintain their need to hire more people? Interesting thought.
For example: people who learned lisp years ago are now laughing about the hype higher level functions (lambdas etc.) are getting. It is ancient technology. Same when Java introduced garbage collection. Yet another ancient technology. However my argument is not that you should learn lisp today to get a job. You should learn it to understand the fundamental technologies that future fashionable frameworks/languages will use. Same goes for type theory. Rust is also using ancient technology (linear types) that you would already have known about long before Rust showed up if you learned type theory. The next step after Rush is of course dependent types.
Dictionaries are reflections of usage rather than arbiters of it -- but yes, generally speaking, singular "they" is for use in situations where people's gender is ambiguous or unknown. And in particular, calling trans people "they" is often a tactic that is used to implicitly deny that they are "really" their gender.
But anyone could transition from farmer/craftsman to factory worker. It needed less skills to repeat a small set of gestures all day long for months and years on an assembly line (being a cog in a machine) than were needed by the craftsman who excelled in his craft (highly skilled in one domain) and by the farmer who had to know and be able to do a bit of everything (not deep, but wide skills).

But for the current/next transition...
No, not "now," they've been considered an adversary for a very long time.

Worth noting that this article is for developers wishing to assist the Brave team in determining whether an extension can be supported straight-away. This is not intended for your average user.
This comment made me smile. Mostly because it threw a new a new light on what I was already thinking; self-host (love how my phone assume I mean "self-hatred", not "self-host", btw) the whole stack, and avoid new security issues that come with forced hosting in hostile jurisdictions.

But take a new daemon that talks a cross product of tls/ssl and three(?) protocols, is supposed to parse random emails, expose it to the Internet - and claim "no new security issues"?

Oh, how I whish that could possibly be true.

5 Skills You Need to Develop to Be a Better CTO
Sorry, I don't understand your point. Each vendor already defines it in their own way. The point of the article is that without proper guidance you end up guessing. I'm afraid the guide you linked to doesn't help much.

Intel confusingly tells us "TDP: Thermal solution should be designed to dissipate this target power level. TDP is not the maximum power that the processor can dissipate."

So according to Intel [1] - "The best way to measure a server’s power consumption is the power meter, an inexpensive tool that is plugged into the wall, and then your device, like a server, can be plugged into the power meter. The meter displays the wattage drawn "at the wall" and allows you to analyze the power consumption under a variety of different utilization levels.". Strange.

I was looking up docs on AMD. They seem[2] to kinda get it: "To allow optimal reliability of the AMD Opteron and AMD Athlon 64 processor-based systems, the thermal and cooling solution should dissipate heat from a processor operating at its maximum thermal power.". I could find some old docs[3] that did give the maximum power, but can't seem to find any on their recent CPUs.

You say "or" but it can be "and". Best is to be an expert in one, "and" having a jack of all trades experience. I.e. you can specialize in front-end work with framework X, but doesn't mean you can't have experience with optimizing db queries. I think a big part of how to do that is just to stay curious and learn new things for the fun, while having a go to language to get things done efficiently.

Vectors eval to themselves, while lists eval to a function/macro/special-form call.

Vectors also differ from lists in that they are ordered and indexed, so in macros and special forms they tend to be used to represent positional bindings.

I'm always torn on these things. Chelsea Manning did break the law. If she hadn't at least spent some time in jail, it could have potentially turned into a much larger political nightmare.
I'm well aware, which is why it's totally inappropriate usage here.

Chelsea Manning's gender and pronoun are arguably among the most well-known in the world, since she has very publicly made them explicit! The only reason anyone in this situation is using "they" is because of a desire to avoid saying the correct pronoun "she."
> Nobody's made micropayments work (yet?).

It's okay to call her "she", you know. "They" is a little... odd, when referring to a person.
I feel like by 2017 if someone hasn't become aware of trans issues it's because they're deliberately staying ignorant. I mean, this stuff is all over the news. Transgender people are constantly getting murdered and beaten, and people are even trying to prevent them from peeing in public bathrooms all the time.

There are so many good resources about trans people online, and i expect a bunch of Smart and Rational and Educated people (like HN commenters collectively think they are) to actually fucking educate themselves.
Yeah, never going to happen, he would never pardon Manning .... oh wait ...
What I find interesting about Freud from a humanities perspective is that psychoanalytic theory can be understood as a non-theological means of discussing topics hitherto reserved to religious inquiry. It's essentially a vocabulary that enables people to discuss spirituality, existential angst, and subjection to higher forces without appealing to the supernatural.

Incidentally, Freud seems to be incredibly popular in circles that either take a highly analytic approach to religion (ashkenazi jews, particularly in NYC) or that exhibit an ascetic rejection of religion (Paris).

The influence and value of Freud's work in the humanities is difficult to understate, but none of this changes the fact that his theories don't yield testable hypotheses and don't predict behavior.
Yep, totally agree. And I think the more experience you have, the easier it gets to filter out the crap.
