How could a private organization violating their charter extend to criminality?

Most of the leaks showing the DNC "favoring" Clinton came after it was clear she was going to win the primary, and most of DNC wanted to focus on the general election. On top of that, individual staffers having a preference for the person they are very close to over the guy who joined the party just to run shouldn't be that surprising, but I haven't seen any evidence that it translated in substantial action to tilt the field in favor of Hillary. I'll concede the debate question issue was a bad look, but again, what advantage was conferred by telling the HRC team that a debate in Flint would feature a question about the Flint Water Crisis?
I get that all the time too: Someone slams a door when I'm laying down, and it's like a flash going off in my face.
That argument doesn't necessarily make sense. You can't budget properly and allocate funds if you have no funds. Look at all the countries with a high level of social services. They collect a lot of tax.

If people really think that the government can maintain roads with no money, assuming they don't have that money, I don't know what to say.

Part of Brave's adblocking was replacing site ads with their own ads, and then a slice of the ad revenue back to the user. So you'd get a 15% cut of the revenue and only see Brave-provided or Brave-approved ads. You could then choose to reinvest that and give the money back to the sites that you visit.
And yet I see multiple HN commenters discussing this topic. It may not be how you would prefer it be discussed; however, this is how people become educated. I think the mistake here is to reply to civil comments in an uncivil way because you don't feel that they are appropriately aware of trans issues.

I would think anyone who wants to help educate others on these issues would welcome such a discussion.
Very cool. I left Evernote last month after many years of pro use. I was spinning around and around but ended-up just (last weekend) going with Notes sitting on my personal NextCloud install. Downside currently is the lack of image support, but that fact that I'm hosting it makes up for that. There is also an Android app.

You should read the beginning of the thread.
Or type 'collateral murder incident' into google.

The beginning of the thread references https://collateralmurder.wikileaks.org/ which is a wiki leaks URL, rather than a wiki pedia URL, as you suggested when you said "you can just read the wikipedia page".

Googling "collateral murder incident" does give a number of results, which does include a Wikipedia page, but it's not one that has been referenced in this discussion.

It's important for honest, rational discussion, to cite sources - especially those sources you depend upon. Unless you specifically state your sources, it's hard to understand the argument you're presenting, and the basis for your argument. Without a citation, it's essentially arguing that the Emperor's new clothes really are golden, and we have to believe that, because they really are golden.

>If decentralisation were more efficient than centralisation, systems aiming for efficiency would naturally centralise; this is not what we observe.

I'm going to assume you mixed up your words there. I'd argue that we see lots of decentralization on the web. I don't see why it has to be one or the other, they seem to work fine in a hybrid state.

>the code is controlled by just a few people, the mining is controlled by four miners

Code is available on github and you can fork it. Mining centralization was the result of competition and some ambitious Chinese living next to dams. There is nothing preventing this from changing in the future.

>Bitcoin decentralises things that don't need to be decentralised, wastefully, then naturally recentralises anyway.

I'd say that money should definitely be decentralized.
Not strange at all. The main language inspiring pixie is clojure, whose interpreter runs on the JVM. I might even go so far as to say that the main reason to use pixie is because you want to write clojure but can't afford to use a JVM for the task at hand

I'm not sure what you are saying here. Using a euphemism doesn't make torture any better.

"China" is an aggregate of consensus and cannot act "alone" as an irrational actor. If they colluded to change a transaction, there would be a net split and everyone would know. Again, I'm standing by the cost analysis of acting as an irrational actor indicating those actors will not act unless the aggregate itself is irrational, which is a rare and separate issue as that being discussed.

I don't think California is the relevant jurisdiction here.

The quote from ZeniMax in the article is "With the start of the trial of our case in Federal District Court in Dallas [...]"

Carmack lives and works in Texas. In fact I think (though I don't have a citation for it) Carmack's choice to stay in Texas is the reason Oculus has a Dallas office. Of course Oculus and Facebook headquarters are in California. ZeniMax headquarters (according to Wikipedia) are in Maryland.
The volume of downvotes and hate comments you are getting for standing up on this issue is disturbing. I hope some of those commenters eventually reconsider whether the acceptance of disrespectful pronouns on HN is truly the cause they want to be known for.
Not sure how much the Iraq war ended, when last year they bombed it as much as they bombed Syria, and they were actually trying to wipe out ISIS in Syria (or was it Assad? I lost count on which side the U.S. was there) after the attacks in Paris and whatnot. So that tells you a lot about just how active the US military is in Iraq.

You can't say you "ended" a war where you're still dropping 1,000 bombs a month in a country, or more than 30 every day. Imagine 30 bombs being dropped every day in the U.S. by another nation. Would you feel "not at war" with that country? And the U.S. is a huge place with the population spread around. The Middle Eastern countries are much smaller so the impact (both physical destruction-wise, but also psychological to the population) is greater.

I have occasionally remarked, you can't gain more weight than the weight of the food you eat, because conservation of mass. This is sometimes my response to people who don't eat a single donut on a special occasion. Naturally the pound or less of food you might eat in a day is not permanently conserved. I also think that a pound of food sounds like an enormous amount, but it really isn't. If you like hamburgers (and let's say you make your own so they are wholesome) you might cook a third of a pound of ground meat to make one.
What I use for making notes is my CatWiki program ( https://github.com/cabalamat/catwiki ).

This stores articles in a wiki in Markdown format as files on a local filesystem, enabling:

- portability. Any ascii text editor can read the files. One goal of the system is that I can still read the files if the software isn't set up (e.g. if installing on a new box).

- longevity. Python, Flask and Markdown are not going away any time soon. Even if they do, the files can still be read.

- privacy. The files are never transmitted across the network. This is also a disadvantage, of course :-).
That’s how I ended up briefly moving to [Vivaldi](https://vivaldi.com). It’s basically chromium with new browser chrome. It was fun playing with the new UI, but it seemed to suck down memory like no ones business. It is compatible with all the chrome extensions though.
Anybody's guess.

Seriously, .deb or .rpm is okay, but what users will really want is a proper apt/rpm repository, which is for sure more effort.

I honestly prefer zip or AppImage. Distribution independent, and it's super easy to get auto updating in Electron.

There's more to Non-Destructive Editing than just a fancy 'undo'. It allows you to go back later and adjust/refine/tweak the alterations you've made to each layer in your image, individually. You would need to be saving dozens of copies as you went along, covering every possible permutation [number of layers x adjustments per player] to allow you the same freedom to re-adjust that non-destructive editing provides.

Then, you'd have to keep all those multiple copies in case you ever needed to make adjustments to that image in the future. With non-destructive editing, you have one file which contains everything. It's not just a gimmick!
Zim is great. The only thing it is lacking is something like Evernote clipper.

True, it was the same process for me, that's when I started looking for ways to avoid that, such as clearing cookies at every session or using incognito tabs; I was (unfortunately) working in the SEO space at the time and having personalised results was completely unacceptable.

I find your comment not confusing and not a rant, your "10-years-ago-me" analogy explains very well what I meant with the "unplanned trip" analogy in my previous comment, except it's much clearer because not everyone is a traveller while, I guess, everyone is subject to the process of growing up and/or learning.
The issue is it was clear Clinton was winning before the race was over based on polling, superdelegates, and what states were remaining. The DNC wanted to discuss (privately) how to limit damage to HRC from Sanders attacks before the general.

These sort of private discussion are totally reasonable for an organization like the DNC to have before the primary was 100% over cause they could see the writing on the wall. I didn't read every leak or anything like that but what I did see was mostly of this nature. This of course pissed off Sanders supporters (the point of the leak in the first place) but it really wasn't that bad imo.

The Brazile thing was though and I'm amazed she's not hiding in a cave somewhere in disgrace.

AES just landed an even bigger battery storage deal in Hawaii:

http://www.utilitydive.com/news/hawaii-co-op-signs-deal-for-...

In California and Hawaii these storage projects will mostly be used in tandem with intermittent renewables. But batteries can convert any slowly-adjustable (or non-adjustable) electricity source into serving daily peaks. If nuclear plants could store some of their low-value output at 3 AM to serve the early evening demand peak around 6 PM, for example, it could increase the revenue they get from the same number of megawatt-hours. At today's storage prices that sort of electricity arbitrage isn't profitable but if storage gets cheap it will have broad impacts on the engineering and economics of electricity systems. It's not just about enabling higher renewable penetration, though that will be a big story too.
Yep. And it's also worth remembering that FiveThirtyEight's thing is that they do analysis based on data as opposed to punditry. Yes, they apply corrections and otherwise filter the data sources. But some people seem to think that Silver should have gotten up a couple days before the election, state that he had a bad feeling about things, and dismiss the best forecast he could make based on some shaky polling data and gone with Trump based on gut feel. Sure, he would have ended up being correct. That would also run counter to the fundamental philosophy of the site.

I think the optimal route is to not bother with (extra) abstractions and interfaces, but try to avoid using things that is unreasonably tied to vendor - unless you save a lot of time.

If the code base is not a pile of dung anyway, the cost of find/replacing and refactoring obsolete or replaced api:s once is so much smaller than the running costs of maintaining an extra layer of leaky abstractions for many years.

It is guaranteed that the abstraction will not work without a lot of changes anyway, and what typically takes the most time is the regression testing.
> again, the use case I made up is not important. And to argue the use case would be missing the point.

This is precisely the point. Blockchains are met with negativity because enthusiasts keep trying to evangelize their merits without having anything to show for it. If blockchains have uses besides cryptocurrencies, point to a practical example or build something and Show HN, but the incessant proselytizing of blockchain vaporware is tiring and makes non-enthusiasts roll their eyes whenever the topic comes up.

> However, for argument's sake. People can counterfeit drivers licenses, or passports. Good luck trying to counterfeit something on the blockchain.

This is another example of how blockchain enthusiasts commonly misunderstand how their technology interacts with the real world. Creating a counterfeit driver's license or passport has nothing to do with computer systems. Today's counterfeiters don't hack into a mutable database and modify identification records, they simply create a physical passport or ID that looks authentic enough to fool a human being who doesn't exist on a blockchain.

The blockchain phenomenon is akin to when a star-eyed developer writes a 10 page blog post about their FPS-RPG-RTS-MMO hybrid with a physics and chemistry simulation system that offers unlimited possibilities! Except the project usually fails after debuting a few misleading demos, and if the project ever escapes the alpha phase, the reality is hugely underwhelming and not at all resembling anything close to what was advertised. That is the blockchain in a nutshell.
Yes, sorry, it wasn't the animation curves, but the workflow, of having them editable on the page, storing their data b/w reloads, and asking them for their own replacement code when done. That's very cool, and applicable to a lot of cases. In fact,makes me wonder if it isn't a better way of doing live coding generally: rather than inferring stuff, have a simple API for exposing inline editors.

The writing is on the wall, in terms of $/energy going down with Li-ion. Perhaps pressure to be first is pushing companies to shave margins a bit too much? Perhaps, it's a case of being a bit too soon?
Frankly, the company deserves hate because they lied.

In the migration to 15 they promised they'd implement most of what Opera 12 had. They didn't even get to 10% or so.

They haven't even implemented the ability to switch tabs by holding the right mouse button and scrolling, one of the most basic things.

It's a challenging issue; Extensions run in multiple contexts. As such, some gaps in support may be realized in the browser's engine, the browser's chrome, or in UX/UI artifacts.

Indeed! He has a fun anecdote on his website [1] about the throttle control routines, which he was responsible for. His account of it is worth reading, but long story short: The ICD for the descent engine specified that its throttle response time was 0.3 seconds, and so that's what the simulator hardware implemented. Don discovered, through testing, that he only needed to code in 0.2 seconds to get a clean throttle control, and so he opted to not give it any more compensation than needed.

At some point, though, the throttle response time for the descent engine was improved from 0.3 seconds to 0.075 seconds, but the ICD was not updated. So at least Apollo 10-13* all flew with 0.2 seconds of compensation. As it turns outs, the throttle was just barely stable with this much, and if Don had implemented the specified 0.3 second compensation it wouldn't have worked.

Apollo 15-17 (and likely Apollo 14) all had this issue corrected. You can see the difference in the constant THROTLAG comparing the Apollo 13 [2] and Apollo 15-17 [3] lunar module source.

* We haven't yet found a copy of the Apollo 9 or Apollo 14 flight software, so I can't definitively say that either had the error. We do have Apollo 5 source, but THROTLAG, the constant in question, does not have the same name there, and I'm not sure what the equivalent value is.

No, what you're missing here is that I wouldn't swear unless I had a good reason to, and a good reason wouldn't likely turn up in an interview. I don't go around swearing in interviews for the fun of it. But if I do swear, and you think it's a major problem, then your priorities would be wrong.

I do realize that judgement goes both ways. I'm not going to blame someone for being foolish, but I will blame them for hiding it when they could instead learn from it.
I think you're absolutely correct. A good example in the context of this discussion is pizza places with conveyor belt ovens: they take the timing and risk issues out of the hands of their minimum wage workforce.

But high end pizza places still don't use them and instead rely on stone / brick / coal pizza ovens instead.

`mojs` definitely was created to support old and slow computers(it supports FireFox from version 4 and IE9).

The problems usually with the Chrome browser because it updates frequently and the Chromium team changes it a lot, so what was recently woking well might not work well right now. And problems like these are usually regard rendering performance and CSS transforms. So the issues you might see are related to the demos itself(not library) which were highly optimized for recent browsers' engines and those changed. I will revamp the demos shortly to keep them up to date.

Also, I often found that heavy animations work much better on mobile devices like iPhones than at my MacBook Pro mid 2012.

> Bitcoin's slogan is 'be your own bank' which means you're ultimately responsible for your own security.

And this gets back to my original point. Security is hard enough that it's common for seasoned security professionals to not follow best practices. Regular members of the public don't have a chance if they have to assume all the responsibility of their own security - this is why they outsource that to banks right now. Hence: in order to manage your own security properly with bitcoin, you have to understand the underpinnings of it. How can a person be ultimately responsible for their own security if they aren't aware of even the most basic of security issues in tech?
I would say that makes it worse. Don't you risk making it a token/pandering act instead of doing what is (arguably) the right thing to do?
