Well, there is some wiggle room here because the EFF is a private organization with no duty to defend anyone, and the defendant already has adequate representation. Everybody has the right to a defense lawyer, but nobody has the right to a nonprofit helping out, that's a privilege. To put it another way, I support the ACLU defending the KKK, but I probably wouldn't support an organization dedicated solely to defending KKK members, even if they always operated within the law.

That said, I still agree with EFF's decision, but I can see both sides.
Is Wikipedia getting worse - No

Is Wikipedia losing editors - Yes, because it's 99% done. The work is not there.

Do people not like the fact what they think is important gets rejected - Yes

Do they blame that on harassment - ?

I really think this is solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Wikipedia is winding down not ramping up.

Regarding the WP's headline:

"All four, career officers serving in positions appointed by the President, submitted letters of resignation per tradition at the beginning of a new administration.
The letters from the White House said that their resignations were accepted and they were thanked for their service. The “entire senior management” team suffering this “mass” obliteration consists of Assistant Secretary of State for Administration Joyce Anne Barr, Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Michele Bond, Ambassador Gentry O. Smith of the Office of Foreign Missions, and most notably Undersecretary for Management Patrick Kennedy, who tried to drag the FBI into Hillary Clinton’s cover-ups. Also, while most news reports described the four outgoing officials as holding their offices under both Republican and Democrat administrations, to promote the impression they were nonpartisan fixtures of the bureaucracy who just couldn’t handle the arrival of President Trump, that is really only true of Kennedy, and he was only in position for two years before the Obama administration began. Joyce Barr was appointed in 2011, while Michele Bond and Gentry Smith were appointed in 2015. The Hill reports that these four joined “a number of other officials who have departed since President Trump took office last week,” but goes on to cite only two names: Assistant Secretary of State for Diplomatic Security Gregory Starr, who retired, and Bureau of Overseas Building Operations Lydia Muniz.
CNN notes that Starr only came out of retirement in 2012, and planned all along to retire at the end of the Obama administration, even if Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election... The New York Daily News falsely implied Tillerson’s visit to the State Department on Wednesday actually prompted the “walk-outs” that didn’t happen..."

I really don't understand why people don't care more about conflict of interest. Certainly his base seem to give zero fucks about it.
Misleading title, Google hasn't brought AI tools for RPI; they are taking a survey on what they should bring to the community. Those who are yet to take survey, be informed it's a long survey. A coffee would be helpful.

Yes, it's the alphabet website.
I've watched both plenty and they do things differently. CNN brings on a panel of "experts" who hold extreme opinions and have them argue for an extended period of time, on the basis that this is "objective". It's almost always useless - providing David Axelrod on the left and Corey Lewandowski on the right doesn't bring both of them to the center, it just leaves a hole where the center should be.

Fox, on the other hand, doesn't do any of this. They simply don't cover stories that don't fit the narrative the network bosses want. So watching it, it seems objective. But unless you're actively comparing it to other networks you have no idea what information they are omitting.

And it's hardly as if Fox has no opinionated coverage - if you object to Van Jones then you ought to object equally to the likes of Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly, who present shows much like Van Jones now does, and spout absolute gibberish.

Native iOS developer (worked at Facebook/Apple) who's currently doing a bunch of contracting at the moment. I think React Native is great.

I think the biggest pros of react native are:

1) Not having to compile to see UI/Business logic changes (Swift compiler is slow).

2) The ability to push changes over the air after you switch.

3) Large parts of your app just work cross platform with minimal changes (I've shipped two iOS/Android apps).

4) If you have a react web team, they can now review and help out with your mobile apps.

5) It's easy to keep product in synch across multiple platforms (i.e android/iOS release at the same time).

I think the big cons are:

1) It's Javascript.. ES6 + babel makes this a lot less terrible than it was in the days of web apps wrapped as native apps but it's still Javascript.

2) If you have to do long running background tasks (network polling, bluetooth, music, location, etc) you basically have to do it in native code. This can be a big architectural pain in the ass depending on what your app does.

3) Ramp up time. Learning about React and all the third party libraries (Redux, etc) you will need to be productive takes time.

4) Cross platform testing. I.e if you share code with your web/android engineers, they will need to be disciplined about not breaking things (npm and versioned shared libraries helps with this).

5) Third party library quality in Javascript land can vary a lot. This requires you spend quite a bit of time vetting them.

Many people care. I think saying people don't care about the conflicts of interest is the propaganda of normalization at work.

Thank you, that was a delightful talk, I did not know Wadler was so enthusiastic (but I have to say, most logicians and theoretical computer scientists are).
"Linux" meaning all desktop environments -- including Cinnamon, which is very nice in some ways, but developed by a small team and therefore sort of inherently "caveat emptor" -- will never be "really there yet" because backwards compatibility means that someone will always be able to write an app that screws up. But IMO if the laptop is sold by KDE, it's reasonable for them to sell a HiDPI screen assuming that you can use the computer fully with KDE specifically, because why should KDE have to hold their hardware back to wait for the five-person team behind the Lorem Ipsum toolkit? Of course the definition of "fully" may be subject to review, and one of the problems is that Linux reviewers are too nice: if KDE's VLC replacement works on HiDPI but won't play common formats, the laptop should lose big points for video playback; unfortunately, reviewers let this kind of thing slide too much, and the community suffers for it.
I can't even count the number of times I have received free things on the street. Sometimes they just jam it into my hands, I don't even want it, and have to give it back. This is standard operating procedure with companies promoting samples of new products, or trying to broaden the appeal of an existing one.

Not once have they forced me to do anything to recieve it. There are exceptions like alcohol give-aways where they card everyone, but they don't write down names or collect data from that, simply verify for legal reasons. It is always a transaction where they just give you the thing without hesitation.

"...value they generated for you?"

What "value" are they generating? They're asking me to try their product in the hopes that I might like it and buy more of it in the future. They're asking for my time, for my attention, to consider their product.

I don't know, take this as you will but this wikia disagrees that Sauron could feed "bad information" via the Palantiri:

I got a Pebble for Christmas and it has solved this problem completely for me. I now no longer need to check my phone at all - there is no reason. If I have a text or email, I'll know instantly - there's no missing that wrist vibration. And because you can't reply from your wrist, there's no compulsion to - you know instantly if it can wait or not. Usually it can. Low-grade anxiety dismissed.
It's not that people don't care enough, it's that not enough people care. No matter how hard you care, your vote still counts the same.
I think not having access to the latest platform feature is a little bit overstated for a number of reasons.

1) An example: It wasn't too long after iMessage apps came out in iOS 10 that tutorials emerged telling you how to use react native to build them, see:

https://medium.com/rendez-voo/messages-app-app-extension-ios...

2) It's really not that difficult to wrap native components and expose them to react native, see:

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/communication-i...

I would say that Android is a little bit more work right now, but it's really not that big of deal.

3) It's easy to embed react native in an existing iOS app. This is great for things like sign up screens, call to action pop ups or other Areas of the app where you want to iterate quickly.

Also animations with react native are pretty nice. I haven't come across anything that I haven't been able to do yet. See:

https://medium.com/react-native-training/react-native-animat...

The biggest issue with react native is that its Javascript which a lot of native developers don't really like especially when compared to Swift.

My comment is not a criticism at all! There is a point of diminishing returns on such projects where a pedantic correction can require loads of work. Great work.

A similar-concept project was posted here on HN this month:

It is Cmd+Q for me. Tongue in cheek here, but you have the power. You have permission from me, bitexploder to close Slack and work for focused periods of 1-2 hours. Seriously though, it may be a little uncomfortable. If it seems to cause friction with colleagues just explain it. Ensure you block out time to be responsive, respond, and help others out. Slack should be a "help if I can" avenue not demand of your attention. I call it digest mode. Open once every hour or two when I am thinking hard. Email the same. Some mornings I let everyone know I am heads down and will come up for air and help out with things in the afternoon.

Our addiction to instant and easy answers can be very problematic. It is the only way. Some of the time when I feel the urge for distractions or chat or email I just sit with one or two apps open (Editor and music) and I sit there until the boredom wins and the task becomes more appealing. Once that hurdle is overcome things are great.
42% of Trump voters think he should be allowed to operate a private email server while President: https://www.buzzfeed.com/stephaniemcneal/trump-voters-think-...

Which is to say: politics is based on tribal feeling of belonging, and not factual information. Hillary having a private email server is awful because she's Hillary, but Trump having one is fine because he's Trump.

In this particular case there isn't any provable corruption here, just coincidence. Given the rest of the openly corrupt move the administration has already pulled, it's just not worth making a huge fuss about this in particular.
Nice project. Mine isn't quite so ambitious (yet). I just need to monitor water pumps. Does anyone have a suggestion for a water flow sensor? I need to detect if there is water present at the pump input. So far the only thing I've been able to get my hands on is a water flow meter [1]. But it's overkill because I don't need to measure flow rate, only presence of water.

This is a great donation by Craig. I fully support it. I also think there should be more legitimate alternatives to Wikipedia and some more competition, but there is not unfortunately.

I've tried to edit Everipedia which bills itself as an alternative to Wikipedia like other alts like rationalwiki etc and although they have a long way to go to get their software and UX up to par, their premise is pretty cool. They want to have a live updating branch of wikipedia always on their site in real time to edit and fork by their own community. I'd say the best alternatives so far are Everipedia, RationalWiki (if you can call this an alternative), and smaller projects that are niche like Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. There should be more legitimate ones in my opinion though.
That's what we're hoping to find out. I think if you give it a try, you may notice some ways the web interface is less awesome ;)

It's my understanding that it doesn't store a file, it just sychronizes a transfer. You have to trust that this is the case, but you can look at the source code that it's based on (on Github).

So I think we both need to be online at the same time for it to work...

The documentation states: "FileTea does not store any file in the server. It just synchronizes and bridges an upload from the seeder with a download to the leacher."
I'd have to take a look at their statements to see, but it sounds like they had some one-time charges that resulted in a tax benefit thereby reducing how much they had to pay in taxes, ergo the 5% rate. And since those no longer apply(being one off items) their tax rate is back where it should be.
While I don't know of any resources in the style of __why's writings, open.gl, learnopengl.com, and others are preferred reading these days. WebGL is really just standardized bindings to OpenGL interfaces, and most people working with WebGL in any meaningful sense have C background understanding of the API.

Those sites are fantastic in making OpenGL approachable in my experience, and I write graphics software for hobbyists, so I also have to actively create consumable APIs that are easy to understand.

I don't buy it. Addiction isn't well understood, but free will isn't even well-posed. What kind of argument is "people sometimes give up their addictions, therefore addiction has no descriptive power as a concept"? Is that not the expected state?

Having owned an Eye-Sight Subaru and AP Tesla at the same time I can attest they aren't nearly the same.

For one Eye-Sight turns off if you come to a complete stop and won't re-engage until you get over a threshold(I believe 18mph). It has a pretty limited HUD to communicate what the system is seeing.

In comparison the Tesla will do full rush-hour traffic flawlessly and does a much better job of communicating what it's seeing in the vicinity of the car. It also bounces the radar under the car ahead of you so it has the ability to see heavy braking conditions much sooner.

C&D did a pretty good comparison recently[1], it didn't include the A8/S8 but most of the other competitors but Tesla was far and away the better system.

It's not easy to execute, but it's easy to figure out one of the key drivers of increased costs in the US.

Compare drug coverage in the US vs. Canada or the UK. New drugs are often covered immediately post-FDA approval in the US. Heck, look at Exondys 51 for Duchenne's. The FDA barely approved it and pretty much every US insurer is paying for it. That doesn't happen in other countries.

A great example is the diabetes drug called Jardiance. It has better efficacy than older drugs and every US insurer covers it. It's not covered in many Canadian provinces.
