The comment said they could detect it but they are doing user agent sniffing because it's how their code already worked.

"Doing feature-detection of a U2F API instead of User Agent sniffing would have required additional engineering effort due to how our system already works" (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1065729#c264)

I don't think this would work for coatings. The dimension and geometry of the material matter a lot and this is evidenced by the fact that they know that VO2 has normal behavior in polycrystalline thin-films. The VO2 they studied is single crystal and shaped into a nanobeam, meaning that already by geometry there's a huge shape anisotropy that I'm sure influences the properties. The beam is essentially suspended as well so it's relatively free of strain. Honestly I don't think this is going to leave the lab, you're not gonna find this behavior in bulk, only in nanoscale constructions.

Also the title of this submission is wrong, heat does flow, just at a lesser magnitude than expected from the Wiedemann-Franz law.
I dunno if flagging is right here, but you can't downvote submissions on HN.
That is the opposite of what reporters would do. You immediately tell them you're a journalist and they give you special treatment. You don't want special treatment, first you want to write a story about what they do to non-special people.

I don't necessarily agree that you should move early and often, but you should absolutely be checking the market at least annually. If you care and you find that you're underpaid then you should find a new job immediately.

While I don't disagree in principle, this is impossible to enact. Consider the case where this person who has chosen not to have insurance is in a car accident and render incapable of communicating. Responders and those at the hospital must act under the assumption that the victim has insurance and do everything in their power to save them.

In this situation the person in the accident can later claim that they didn't want to be saved and thus owe nothing. We, that is the rest of us who participate, are then forced to carry this cost and they free ride.

Yes and his clothing he sells in America but made in Mexico will be more expensive.. so maybe he will give himself an exemption
And that right there is the sad part. People actually believe that line makes a news piece fair and objective. It's lazy journalism, especially given the headline.

News flash: when asked about these kinds of things, it's very common for the police to decline to comment. The job of a reporter doesn't (or shouldn't) stop there.

Sorry, you don't just get to say, "this side of the story was easy to write, so we wrote it; it was too hard to find anything for the other side, so we're publishing anyway and that's a fair representation of the facts."
The cops don't need to be told from the top to make journalists lives hard. They've been at odds since basically forever. After all, the "shoot a black guy, get a vacation" system was working well and the media threw a wrench into it (I'm exaggerating but you get the point). They're just jumping at what looks like a chance to be jerks. They don't need to be told "the president wants you to treat the media badly". It's pretty obvious that their interests align.

I think we'll see more behavior like this as they test the waters to see what they can get away with.
From The Fine Article:

> Mr. Engel, a Brooklyn-based journalist who writes for Vocativ, a media and technology outlet, was among those charged with felony rioting and released. He said by email on Wednesday that he was unable to comment on the case since it was active, but that he was looking forward to the day he could say more.

The Church disproves you, quoting older texts, even from the second century of the Church:

See "Declaration on procured abortion, 18 November 1974," it can be thankfully found using your search:

http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/docum...

"Athenagoras emphasizes that Christians consider as murderers those women who take medicines to procure an abortion" [(c. 133 – c. 190 AD) he was a Father of the Church, another author quoted is Tertullian c. 155 – c. 240 AD, moreover, Synod of Elvira, the fourth century, and on and on through the centuries...]

"In the course of history, the Fathers of the Church, her Pastors and her Doctors have taught the same doctrine - the various opinions on the infusion of the spiritual soul did not introduce any doubt about the illicitness of abortion. It is true that in the Middle Ages, when the opinion was generally held that the spiritual soul was not present until after the first few weeks, a distinction was made in the evaluation of the sin and the gravity of penal sanctions. Excellent authors allowed for this first period more lenient case solutions which they rejected for following periods. But it was never denied at that time that procured abortion, even during the first days, was objectively grave fault."

To repeat: "the various opinions on the infusion of the spiritual soul did not introduce any doubt about the illicitness of abortion."
There seem to be a lot of these on the market already https://www.amazon.com/Roomba-Lawn-Mower/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh...
And it's this kind of reporting that fuels the need for 'alternate facts' because the facts presented so often leave a lot to be desired.
A journalist has no more rights then any other citizen for a lot of obvious reasons. They should be treated with the same due process as any one else for a lot of obvious reasons. It's really time to end authoritarianism in the USA.

Yeesh. I've seen the company discussed but hadn't really looked into what they were doing differently than other data-driven campaigns in recent years:

> Trump’s conspicuous contradictions and his oft-criticized habit of staking out multiple positions on a single issue result in a gigantic number of resulting messaging options that creates a huge advantage for a firm like Cambridge Analytica: for every voter, a different message. Mathematician Cathy O’Neil had already observed in August that “Trump is like a machine learning algorithm” that adjusts to public reactions. “Pretty much every message that Trump put out was data-driven,” Alexander Nix explained to Das Magazin. On the day of the third presidential debate between Trump and Clinton, Trump’s team blasted out 175,000 distinct test variations on his arguments, mostly via Facebook. The messages varied mostly in their microscopic details, in order to communicate optimally with their recipients: different titles, colors, subtitles, with different images or videos. The granularity of this message tailoring digs all the way down to tiny target groups, Nix told Das Magazin. “We can target specific towns or apartment buildings. Even individual people.”

> In the Miami neighborhood of Little Haiti, Trump’s campaign regaled residents with messages about the failures of the Clinton Foundation after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, in order to dissuade them from turning out for Clinton. This was one of the goals: to get potential but wavering Clinton voters—skeptical leftists, African-Americans, young women—to stay home. To “suppress” their votes, as one Trump campaign staffer bluntly put it. In these so-called dark posts (paid Facebook ads which appear in the timelines only of users with a particular suitable personality profile), African-Americans, for example, were shown the nineties-era video of Hillary Clinton referring to black youth as “super predators.”
I'm investigating doing the same for my town, also inspired by Strong Towns.

There might be tens of us!

I plan on documenting what I learn as I go. Will you do the same? Do you have anything I could subscribe to to stay in the loop?
Then don't be surprised if these "journalists" get detained like the non-special rioters.
Well then, how would you report on it in a way that is appropriate?

Just... don't tell anyone anything until March when we have more information?

Come on, don't just complain. It's easy to complain! Everyone complains, all the time. It's totally non-constructive and achieves nothing.

What's the right way of doing it, if this is the wrong way?
Rejections should teach you something.

I think of it like the sculptor: Rejections should be like the process of removing all the material that is not part of what you are sculpting. Each rejection should chisel another chunk off.

If it seems like it's been a while since you learned something from a rejection it's time to review.

Even after refining to the point of having a finished sculpture, you still need to consider the possibility that you've got something good, but simply haven't pitched to the right person yet. Look for comments like, 'that's a really compelling|interesting|novel|worthy idea, but it's not what we get involved in'. In those cases, ask for referrals to people they think might be interested.

The point to cease then, would be when you're not learning anything new, and you're not getting references to someone who might be interested.

Each of the examples you listed would have a different protocol. If you get a no when asking for a raise, or pitching investors, you should be able to get an explanation for why. But if you get rejected asking for a date, you'll likely not get a reason you can use. So some intuition is always going to be required.

So this is what the NY Times know:

- In a certain area, protest turned into riot
- Cars were being set on fire
- The police does a sweep, arresting 230 people
- 6 of those 230 people were reporters

And they chose to run a headline like this? They make it seem as if the journalists were targeted because of their profession, and that isn't what happened at all.

What is this - Trump lies all the time, so as long as we anti-Trump people lie a little bit less than Trump does, we're good? Fight fire with fire?

I'm slowly losing my faith in both sides of this fight.

Summary of your summary: Poor management.
Good thing you read the article instead of rushing here to defend an authoritarian threatening freedom of speech.

The journalists were not involved with the limo burning... they were caught up in the literally hundreds (yes, hundreds) of people arrested... when everyone knows only a tiny fraction of them were involved with the limo or the few isolated incidents of vandalism.
Ya this is a very aggressive use of the present tense.

I find the tone of the article a bit confronting, but I agree with the points.

Most of the time, raises in your company do not outpace the market pay.
Also moving early and often keeps you sharp, learning new skills and focus on delivering value.

The only thing I'd add is "don't be rude" and "don't be an ahole".

Leave a company as if you're a senior member...with class, grace and minimal interruption to the team.
Leave a trail of good will, not burned bridges.
> This is a false dichotomy, which assumes that the only possible alternatives are Obamacare and no insurance at all.

No it isn't, the parent poster made no judgement about the system available, just that one must participate. What that system looks like is an entirely different debate to the "I should be able to not have insurance" debate.

> Also, what about the people with expensive preexisting conditions? Virtually all of those people are consuming far more resources than they will ever pay in. Are they also "moochers"?

That is the entire point of insurance. Some will pay more than they take and others will take more than they pay, but in the end, both sides of the ledger for the collective is balanced and both individuals had the same* access. *for some loose definition of same.
So no one can report on anything when the authority with power refuse to comment on why they imprisoned a citizen?

How does that work exactly?
Scooping up multiple journalists implies that they were arresting people indiscriminately. And charging them even.
Typically credentialed journalist would be treated differently so yes, that is the news worthy part.

It does seem like there isn't any room for measured responses between the two extremes of the political spectrum. And the two extremes look a lot alike. Horseshoe theory is something I'm seeing more of all the time.
Precisely that. Change in Google's CPCs is a great example of Simpson's Paradox. CPCs on every property separately are growing, but aggregate is declining due to much faster growth in areas where CPCs started low
If, you chose to gamble with your life, and end up not being able to afford medical treatment in the future one of two things ends up happening. You actually notify your doctors before hand that you don't have money, and will elect to not receive any treatment and follow through with your gamble, or someone else will pay for your treatment for you. Most likely every other person who can afford to pay for their treatment via raised prices (which will, in turn, remove more people from the market, more people will gamble, raising prices further in a spiral).

Which option do you think is more likely to happen?

Yea, and calling yourself a journalists means jack shit now days. I see no mention of a journalists from a reputable news source being charged. I mean just look up their profiles.."More gonzo than investigative", "This is why I'm an anarchist"...
Sometimes programs you write for yourself get the biggest response from others
So because the police refused to comment on felony charges and imprisonment of journalists and citizens... no one can report on anything...

AND this apparently excuses the President's Press Secretary to spend his first press conference insisting on and threatening news outlets over grotesque lies about the size of a crowd?

Is this like a joke thread?
As far as I know, there are no topic-specific filters on HN. (There are some that filter out spam: see the [dead] submissions in https://news.ycombinator.com/newest for examples.)

If you think a submission is inappropriate for HN, please flag and move on.
But if you look at trend on each individual property separately, CPCs are not declining anywhere. It's just effect of Simpson's Paradox on total number
Nothing wrong with comparing apples and oranges. How else would you decide which is best for any given use case?
This is significant because in order to collect the story, journalists have to stand next to people doing illegal things. Since the journalist wouldn't be there otherwise, and is not a participant, if they are mistakenly charged, then the charges are dropped. Pretty straight application of freedom of the press. This is significant and will impact coverage of many many protests if it carries thru.
I've got very conflicted feelings about it myself. On the one hand, precision drone bombing is preferable to the older approaches of using bombers or conventional ICBMs. The ideal would be to simply stop bombing people, of course, but that would only last until such time as there were a substantial terrorist attack on American soil. As long as military engagement remains a political reality, I prefer it come in as low a cost in human life as possible. But it's arguable that the second-order costs end up being higher. At the same time I think it's inevitable given the available technology.
Data Science Reveals Trump Tweets Are Written by Two People
Hear hear. Email if it's not important. Call if it's important - but it better be important, and not a "quick question" or "I just emailed you something...".
How do you know the journalists were cheering?
I was there. Protests were peaceful, until the cops started throwing grenades and arresting folks. I took some photos from a distance[1], and also posted a couple videos to twitter[2][3]. There was a heavy police presence on Friday (inauguration day), which was in stark contrast to Saturday (the Women's March), in which the police were noticeably absent. Not surprisingly, there was no violence during the Women's March because there were no police to antagonize people.

I remember watching a journalist who'd been pepper sprayed by police wash his eyes with bottled water, just outside the restaurant we'd stopped at for lunch.

We live in troubling times.

While Trump's views on the First Amendment are disturbing, these arrests do not seem related.
>Since the journalist wouldn't be there otherwise, and is not a participant

Do we know this is the case? Journalist and riot-participator are not mutually exclusive groups.
This seems suspect. This article seems to poke some holes: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-12-08/no-big-da...
Just a few ideas off the top of my head (I'm sure there are a lot of other sources as well):

- Interview people who were there about what the journalists were actually doing and what happened when they were detained

- Mention the political background of the reporters and/or any history of participating in protests

- Explore legal precedents and ask experts to help explain why they may have been arrested

- At least mention the fact that if we don't know all the facts, we can't assume they were wrongfully charged

EDIT: If you disagree with my comments, please explain why you disagree rather than simply downvoting (ironically, downvoting for the sake of political disagreement only serves a purpose aligned with one-sided journalism - i.e., silencing opposing viewpoints in hopes of advancing one's own political ideology rather than promoting healthy dialogue). Thanks!
I grabbed it from the Erlang Wikipedia for what it's worth. The language creates reliability by isolating running parts in millions of small heaps that can independently fail and immediately restart. It's not automatic, but the way that the language is designed makes these types of numbers much more feasible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlang_(programming_language)

It also had this along the same lines though:

>As Tim Bray, director of Web Technologies at Sun Microsystems, expressed in his keynote at OSCON in July 2008:

"If somebody came to me and wanted to pay me a lot of money to build a large scale message handling system that really had to be up all the time, could never afford to go down for years at a time, I would unhesitatingly choose Erlang to build it in."
That is not how the news business is practiced. The assumption is that journalists are not participants and therefore are not prosecuted as such. Similar to a security guard standing near a protest.
Which is, of course, exactly what happens: those with insurance subsidize those without. Why do you think a simple bandage or ibuprofen costs so much on insurance? To cover those that walk into hospital ERs, uninsured. It's a hidden tax, highly inefficient, but quite real.
Looks like it'll be a few months before we know if it's metastable at ambient pressure; they're planning to do the pressure release experiments at one of the national labs [0].

They have no ability to bring a criminal case against anyone without the cooperation of the executive branch, which Trump controls.

Citizens could file civil lawsuits against the federal government to get injunctions against him. But even then I believe the only repercussion for him not following those injunctions would be Congress impeaching him.

Basically, in order to get charged with a crime the executive branch has to do it. Since the president is the head executive, there has to be a special case for him/her: Congress can bring charges I.e. impeachment proceedings.
