I think the main example of fake votes found in Ohio would be legal, in the sense that no (real) person's reputation was harmed. But the article about "NYPD Looking to Press Charges Against Bill Clinton for Underage Sex Ring" seems like a strong libel case. In the U.S., public figures (like Bill Clinton) have a higher standard of proof for libel, and they can't sue just because something false was printed about them. But knowingly publishing falsehoods is something that a public figure can sue for.
I think there's a lot of bad auto loans out there. I just bought a new vehicle, and when applying for the loan I couldn't fill out half of the required information (I didn't have it readily at hand). The business office person just kept saying "that's OK, just skip that part." All in all they had barely enough information to let me prove I was who said I was, much less that I could repay the loan. This behavior reminded me a lot of what I heard up the mortgage bubble, where there was basically free money floating around.
So what's the difference between that guy and the Onion? Both make money selling fake news, as do the tabloids.

Sun going back on promises about x86 in the earlier days didn't help.

I used to do Solaris SysAdmin stuff, and was a very strong advocate for it even on x86. Sun made guarantees/assurances that it'd be available for free download for x86.

Some months later (did someone look at the download bandwidth costs? ;>), they completely reneged on that and stopped allowing people to download x86.

That was (literally) the last day I did any kind of advocacy for Sun or Solaris. After that it was FreeBSD and Linux, and "fuck Sun". ;)

But seriously: intent. To just name one.
I'm going to answer but I should preface by saying I'm not going to try to proselytize you to Swift. If it doesn't work for you and you're happy with Objective-C, then by all means do what makes you happy and keeps you productive. I have a couple of apps that have about 50k lines of Swift, one also with 60k lines of Objective-C and another with 40k lines of Objective-C. We use MVVM as well as a fairly involved mechanism of VM abstraction with intercommunication using RAC. Common code is in a cocoapod as well as other third-party dependencies otherwise the other target is the iOS app itself. I think LOC is a poor metric to measure complexity, but it does have a relevance to compile time. Others have also said that Swift and Xcode are not perfect, but as an engineer programming in Swift makes me quite happy.
Exercise feels great. It wears you down but it makes you feel alive! Exercise is the time during the day I am most at peace and relaxed. No work bullshit, just me and my goals.
I wasn't even aware that curl had a logo.
I think Swift got almost everything right, except for not having a GC maybe. Especially everything related to exceptions: the combination of "throws", "defer" and "try"/"try!" gets rid of most of the classic problems with exceptions.
Interestingly, one person's time can be worth more than another person's money. For founders, this is sometimes factored in, but usually not for employees, even when they take a reduced salary. At best, if you are taking a 100k job for 50k, you are, in the eyes of most founders, only investing 50k in the company. But if you are putting in beyond 2k hours that year, anything beyond that is an investment and can be worth far more than the extra time put in by founders themselves. Such invested time is usually completely unrewarded, it's assumed to be "factored in".
I would like to do something similar but I would like markdown support and the ability to link to other documents/media.

My view might be classified as 'odd', but this is how I look at this problem, and this is what I ended up doing:

I do not mind living a decade shorter than those ones who are more active than me.

I have tried to be active, but could not fit it into my mentality. Note that I did not say my lifestyle, I said my mentality. I am unable to be active. I was not an active person a a kid, and I am not one as an adult.

If I aggregate all those activity hours together with all the stress about being more active (including following the effectiveness of standing desk news), it could maybe worth a couple of years of my life. I subtracted those years from that one decade, and decided that I am ok with not having that part of my life.

I continue programming 14 hours a day in the sitting style.

Part of the problem here is the obesity angle. Obese people are sick, they have a serious disease, they cannot pursue fitness until they fix their underlying weight problem.

> Theft, warmongering, and exploitation by your ancestors (and peers) you mean?

The reason you're facing a backlash, and the inherit problem with your position is that you're stereotyping every Caucasian as a being born with a silver spoon in their mouth and completely dismissing any and all hardships they've faced. The entire basis for this entitlement you feel is built around the premise that we're all privileged and could stand to be brought down a couple pegs.

You pretend that there isn't a lower class or that those in the lower class are still privileged by comparison because to admit otherwise would question your sense of entitlement.

White privileged is our Original Sin I guess then?
I think a standing/adjustable desk is a good solution, but you should be able to sit down and, more importantly, put your feet above your waist for a while, occasionally.

> Rust is a formalization/codification of idiomatic C++

Idiomatic C++ favors values and copy semantics. Rust favors references and move semantics. C++ has function and method overloading, and Rust does not. There are so many places where Rust chose exactly the opposite of "modern" C++ that calling Rust a codification or formalization of C++ makes no sense at all to me. Rust has some great features, and C++ has a lot of warts, but Rust is definitely not an improved C++.

Rust seems like a reaction to problems in C++, but for many design decisions I think they erred on the side of doing the opposite of C++ and ignored the things C++ does well.
Yes, exactly. The increased cost can also let Japanese lawyers avoid doing the work - by pricing the client out - without saying no. Providing services in English is a lot of work for a Japanese lawyer. Can't easily use off-the-shelf memos or leverage past work, etc. Not many are eager to do it.

There are non-Japanese lawyers in Tokyo (I'm one) but they're not allowed - or usually competent - to advise on Japanese legal matters. And the supply of Japanese lawyers itself is limited, so unfortunately there aren't many options. Lawyer-to-population ratio in Japan is close to 1:3000 as opposed to 1:300 or so in the US.

Interestingly, someone pointed out in another discussion that women are more apt to be found in careers that have educational barriers to entry. Women also obtain college degrees at a rate that is meaningfully higher than men, presumably in part because they want access to those restricted professions.

Is the social problem that the discriminated are pushed to 'over achieve' while the rest have no expectations placed on them and are more likely to fall into whatever work is available? I think this definitely holds true for the tech profession where for many of us the jobs appeared as extension to hobbies, not something we actually sat down to plan to do.

If we were pressured to go to school and get a good, well respected, job above all else – which I think we can say certain segments of the population are – the path into tech would have been far less obvious. Especially when you go back several years ago, before tech was 'cool', but even now doctor or lawyer sounds better than programmer.

> I know the Go folks don't like exceptions, but this is an example of them learning the hard way that about one useful thing they lost by deciding to not do exceptions.

The first thing I do in a Go project is reimplement exceptions it seems. It isn't even so much the stack trace, but that the _cause_ can be chained on. Often times one error causes another and the error interface in Go is too weak to capture it.

Rob Pike has his blog post about errors being values, but it's basically useless because the standard library hardly uses the more advanced error types. Pretty much every library returns error instead of MoreAdvancedError, which means you are doomed to speaking the lower common denominator.

(for the record, promising in the documentation an error will always be some type is pretty weak).

I think less people know about curl than mozilla, not to mention that curl has a logo (I had no idea).
Things don't just work automatically. Some idiot can throw a design in that doesn't just synthesize.

After synthesis, your RTL becomes a gate level representation. You then place your logic i.e. Your memory logic near your memories, I/O logic near your pins etc.
You then make clock trees for your various clocks. You don't want related logic clocked by different parts of the clock tree. Once you have stuff physically located, you back annotate and do your static timing analysis.

You generally run simulation on the different stages of synthesis. Someone has to debug all these simulations. They never just pass.

There is a big difference between RTL and gate level simulation. A test passing in RTL is only the 1st stage. RTL doesn't have any wire models so no delays are in there. Gate level sims can run with delays in there.

Synthesis tools can also tell you it doesn't pass timing through static timing analysis but asynchronous parts of the design can't be analyzed. You need simulation there!

People learn. I still believe more in people than algorithms to debunk fake news. This election was step 1 in people's learning curve about it.

Of course, if they don't want to learn, they won't. But no algorithm or laws will change that anyway.

> [...] openvpn can run in purely TCP mode which is more likely to survive shitty wifi connections and aggressive/stupid captive portal wifi and firewalls/NATs like you might find in an airport [...]

That's contrary to my own experience, hence my original post. Obviously I've not been to every airport, but I've been to a handful of different ones over the last decade, and I've never had problems with IPsec. And IME airport / coffee shop / hotel WiFi are usually not the ones most locked down, but corporate guest WiFi. The last one I used blocked everything except TCP port 80, 443...and UDP port 500, 1723, and 4500.

I used to run OpenVPN to my home network, since that's the general recommendation, and Cisco VPN to the school, and later work, networks, and I've had more connectivity issues with OpenVPN. Switching to one of ports 53, 80, or 443 generally works, but Cisco VPN always "just works"...connectivity wise anyway. The client software broke like every other minor OS update. I even switched to PPTP for a while, because it'd also always worked, plus support was built into the OS. And that's what drew my attention to L2TP/IPsec.

Finally, when Tunnelblick stopped working after one of the OS X major upgrade, I looked into setting up L2TP/IPsec, and have been using it since.

Maybe IPsec is more often blocked in Europe / Asia / Africa?

It's the other way: standing is necessary but not sufficient. Exercise doesn't cancel out sitting and blood pooling in your legs.
Don't forget illumos, which forked from OpenSolaris.
But the problem is that you can't change your study visa to a working visa (BTW, this is not legal advice! Make sure to check what I'm saying with a lawyer). So you will lose residency when you change visas.

Potentially the easier way to go (assuming you are doing some high tech thing and you are getting an equivalent to an "engineering" degree -- CS should be fine) is to get a job and have the company sponsor your visa. At that point you can start your your company no problem and hire yourself. This is one way to avoid having to sponsor your own visa (which will have capitalisation requirements).

I was in a similar situation before I got married. I was teaching English and I wanted to set up an IT consulting company. My visa was as an instructor and there was no way to switch it to an engineering or business person's visa. So I would have had to sponsor my own visa. As it turned out, I got married, moved to the UK for a few years and then set up my company when I returned.

Edit: Even easier approach (though time consuming) is to get a job and stay long enough to get permanent residency. Then you have no issues at all. Minimum time frame is 5 years IIRC. Normally being married helps a lot, but I suspect if you have gone to school in Japan it will help equivalently.
After insisting on it for quite some time I am at a point where I love working out and hate missing a day in my routine. But I definitely DON'T feel great after exercising. I get this horrible feeling like I'm close to passing out, my whole body shakes and I just want to curl up in a corner and wait until that feeling is gone. I look forward to exercising and making progress but definitely not to how I feel right after it.

Ask HN: Jr colleague promoted, is now my manager. Best way to talk to our boss?
I have been at the company, a 50 - 60 person startup, for about a year. I was hired into mid-level position running a program with strategic importance. Company pivoted into an area where I have less domain knowledge, but where my technical skills are still valuable.

Recently, a person I previously managed was promoted and is now my manager. They have more domain knowledge in the new focus area, but have never managed a team before, and have limited work experience. I plan to talk to our boss about the changes, but do not want to make this about my ego (though if I am honest, mine was bruised slightly). My larger concern is that this indicates my future at the company is limited. I also work remotely (1 of 5), and though the company constantly says this makes no difference, I am not so sure. Any advice on how to raise my concerns in a productive way is appreciated.

Not as strong a case for libel as you would think considering the relationship between Clinton and Epstein, who was convicted of soliciting underage girls

>The relationship between Clinton and Epstein has been chronicled previously, and flight logs show that the former president flew on the financier's private jet more than ten times in the years before Epstein was accused of having sex with underage girls.

>Between 2002 and 2005 Clinton took numerous trips including to Epstein's Caribbean island Little St James where young girls were supposedly kept as sex slaves.
Clinton was deemed to be so close to Epstein that he was nearly deposed during the investigation into his pedophilia, legal documents have shown.
A phone transcript filed in a lawsuit includes references to 'favors' that Clinton owed Epstein.
