> you're going to get those comparisons

Comparisons are one thing. There are a lot of leftists who truly believe that he's a Hitler figure, and as I've shown in my last comment, that's hardly the case.

> The only new "news" outlet he wants to give access to is Breitbart

[Citation Needed] It's clear that it's more than just that one outlet, which is a great reversal from the policy of the last 8 years.

> I'm not sure how background checks [etc]

Don't be coy. The left have been clamping down on guns for years, and many of them would like them to be outright banned. Hillary Clinton wanted to make gun manufacturers liable for anything that happens when using their guns, essentially destroying the civilian gun industry. The candidates also fought over which candidate was most hated by the NRA.

> the biggest problem with the economy today is the unparalleled levels of inequality

I love that the left like to accuse everyone else of being unscientific, but that they've become the greatest deniers of all. But even if it were true, what's the left's proposal? That we give all that money and power over to the government, the same one that they complain (rightfully so) is in an unholy alliance with corporations and special interests? What do you think the incentives are for those people in power are?

> In the age of nuclear weapons, guns are not useful in overthrowing a tyrannical government.

Hopefully gun owners will be willing to depose of a government before it gets to the point where they've become so evil that they're willing to nuke their own people.
Using crowdsourced ADS-B data to spot surveillance
This is the best description of data flows used in functional programming I have ever seen. Really well done.
Sega just made a must-listen playlist on Spotify
Cartoons are way more expensive to produce than these videos.
there are so many libraries trying to be helpful in the Android ecosystem that it's sometimes hard to know which ones to employ, which ones are worth the time and effort to learn.

this tool seems like it provides some useful data to help developers answer that question for their projects.

that said, i think some of the most interesting info is about the libraries that are not published by Google. it might be neat to have an option to filter those out of the results.

>This is just bad advice, I'm sticking with the competition (which may not always be [product]).

This is my thinking as well. Microsoft's virus definitions are often worst in class and the agent itself only seems to update its definitions daily or, at most, twice day while 3rd party applications do so hourly or more. I've never seen MSE or Defender stop any ransomware attack. Not once. It just can't move fast enough to keep up.

Avast, Sophos, ESET, Panda, etc all trounce MS. Most of these are free for home and are largely trouble-free. Just because the author had a bad experience with Norton and McAfee doesn't mean the MS product is superior. I suspect the person who wrote this isn't a sysadmin who manages many users. The level at which MS can't keep up is embarrassing. I'm surprised to see this kind of thing at the top of HN.

My only compliment for MS is that SmartScreen is very aggressive in Win10 and will often flag suspicious executables correctly. I suspect the author is confusing SS with Defender. SS works because its heuristics based. Defender sucks because its signature based. The nice part is that these are two seperate applications, so if you run Avast or ESET, you still get SS.

Its also worth mentioning that a lot of Win10 "privacy" guides, often linked on HN, recommend disabling SS. I can't stress how much of a questionable practice that is. SS is a proper security layer and if sending MS a hash of an executable is such a problem for you, I suggest getting off Windows, as Windows does so much worse in regards to privacy even after following those guides.
Spreed WebRTC implements a WebRTC audio/video call server and web client
How do you figure? Why should my boss care about unit test frameworks and the relative merits of various TDD strategies. If he has some useful advice from previous projects then great. But otherwise, as long has we aren't having major problems, I don't expect him to interfere with those sorts of decisions. And if we are having major problems I expect him to sit the relevant people down and go "look, we're having too many regression bugs. Whatever you are doing with regards to testing isn't working, so let's come up with something better".
My guess is the former since there aren't any 32 bit Apple platforms anymore.
I've been pretty excited about this since APFS was announced, but I think I'll hold off on the first beta release on my phone. Let the potential hysteria blow over first.
The only effect it might have to slightly alter the overall bias of the site. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

HN already has something of a negative bias towards the work of the various security services (that is, the mood is largely pro-Snowden and anti-NSA) - having a better balance of views may well be a positive effect.

Similarly for the pro-capitalist bias here, and what almost amounts to a religious veneration for VCs and the very wealthy. Then again, HN is a bit of a chimera in the topics it covers. So we do have some diversity of interests and opinions.

What you paint as a fault might be an asset: C++ is multi-paradigm. There is more than one way to look at something and there is a joyous chaos of varied abstractions from which to choose from.

Yes it takes a certain openness of mind and a long learning curve. But then, you get to operate at a level that other platforms can only dream.

In full disclosure, I do NOT consider myself a good C++ programmer. But I've always respected the fact that it's one environment which fosters using the whole toolbox instead of just a hammer... no matter how elegant that hammer may be. In that respect, it reminds me a lot of Perl.

Interesting that you mention Rust... I am one of those "modern C++" kinds and I am quite curious and excited about Rust (haven't quite jumped boat yet though). I feel that there are quite a few others in such position.

And precisely the reason we like Rust is because it is like the new C++ (moves, lean lambdas, templates, on-the-stack values, borrowing) without so much of the old stuff. What do you think? What do you expect from Rust?

Equivalence proofs with SAW – Exploring formal verification
I still wish most companies knew/had a better "best practice" than just MITM interception certificates, because that is potentially brittle and is an threat to corporate security. If you already have all of your machines MITMed, then an attacker could gain access to the existing MITM certificate and who would ever know.

I know I'm a relative minority in the corporate IT world, but as a software developer downloading/uploading dependent libraries or the outputs of my development issues, corporate MITM interception certificates absolutely scare me for my personal threat model and the threat model of the projects that I work on.
How easy it is to start to sound like our parents' generation eventually! Video games were ruining society once and, before that, discotheques, TVs and rock music.

I have two young children who enjoy YouTube more than TV and while they do watch a lot of weird (kids') channels, they've learnt a lot too and I haven't seen it play out in any negative way so far. At the least, they've seen people with many more opinions and of many more cultures and races than I had at their age - a good thing, to me.

Let's keep an eye on this and continue to be observant, caring parents who don't give up responsibilities to an iPad, but at the same time let's not be the parents who say the Smashing Pumpkins' lyrics are scrambling your brains when they aren't.
> Should each immigrant put up a $20k bond?

Compliance with wage requirements is the duty of the employer, not the employee. According to your retarded logic, we should punish Americans who are not paid the $7.25 federal minimum wage by asking them to pony up $20,000 instead of punishing employers who fail to comply with the minimum wage law. How fucking idiotic...

> Adding and expanding infrastructure to a dense city is incredibly expensive. It cost my local government $100 million to widen a few hundred meter stretch of road.

Wow, that's your argument? If your city overspent on roads, that's a result of corruption and/or government inefficiency -- a different and unrelated problem, and a straw man argument. The cost of increasing infrastructure is paid for by the taxpayers. Immigrants pay taxes, and thus increase tax revenue. Any gap in additional cost and the additional tax revenue generated by immigrants is likely a result of corruption and government inefficiency.

> I am arguing that a lot of the working poor will be worse off under your economic free for all.

By your theory, the working poor should have been decimated by the mass immigration from Europe that occurred during much of US history (until the mid-20th century). Please see this study that I referenced in my earlier comment: https://www.nap.edu/catalog/23550/the-economic-and-fiscal-co...

Your use of the straw man argument (e.g. pointing to your city's horrible inefficiency at building roads), and the idiotic thing about the bond, makes me wonder about your real motivation for holding the positions you do. That's why my accusation of xenophobia and/or racism is fully substantiated. If you actually had a defensible argument, I'd be on your side. But you don't. Instead you provide some pathetically illogical and fallacious arguments. Talking to such people is as useful as talking to a pile of rocks.

The real problem I have with immigrant-hating people is that they're advocating for the use of violence (i.e. "immigration enforcement") against peaceful immigrants. Libertarians believe the use of violence against peaceful immigrants is wrong: https://www.lp.org/issues/immigration The Libertarians whom you so callously dismissed as "ideologues" are people who are motivated by a strong sense of morality. I know people who were brought here as young children, who've lived here their whole lives. (Not that I think this makes them more deserving of being allowed to stay -- any and all peaceful persons should be allowed to stay.) Anti-immigrant folk want to send men with guns into their homes, drag them out forcibly at gunpoint, throw them in a cage at some detention facility, and then ship them off to some random country. And for what? They were living peaceful and productive lives here. These anti-immigrant people want to use violence to destroy the lives of peaceful immigrants. This, I find repugnant and immoral.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Holds World’s Largest Public Blockchain Vote
As someone who's worked on corporate web proxies, I can also tell you there's usually someone who knows what they're doing administering them. Besides the "implied consent" of being on an employer network, you also have people at the company who know how to ensure bad SSL from the proxy -> website will not be permitted.

If the MITM function of bitdefender isn't advertised, how can anyone consent to it, or knowlegably ensure it's still enforcing connection resets on bad SSL certs?
That was the thing: starting with C++98, I was able to pick up C++11. But starting from scratch? I'm not sure.
I'm not sure I understand here: are you objecting to a lack of evidence that Asian-American students are penalized for their ethnicity, or a lack of evidence for the claim that this is unjustifiable discrimination?

The first point is easy to prove - every admissions-rate breakdown suggests that many colleges apply a substantial penalty to Asian students, equivalent to ~100 points of SAT score. (Elite colleges also have distorted admissions percentages for Asian-Americans, but this SAT penalty can't be calculated cleanly; scores are bounded at 2400 and many applicants are >2300.) Other people have linked plenty of sources here, and I'd like to hear a counterargument if there is one.

If you mean the second point, it shakes out of affirmative action arguments pretty directly. The question is whether we accept affirmative-action-as-erasing-privilege (which shouldn't penalize Asian students) or affirmative-action-as-increasing-diversity (which I suppose would try to mirror population percentages regardless of privilege). Plenty has been written on that, but I can see how one might accept the "Asian penalty" on a diversity argument.
While it's certainly true that there are some interaction effects between government regulation and the market that cause inequality, its naive to draw the conclusion that this is true for all or even a majority of regulation.

If you read the OP, a primary counterexample is mass mobilization (e.g. government efforts to support WW2) which are a great leveler.

Any engineer who has built systems should understand how complexity increases non-linearly with scale and that interaction effects are complicated to reason about. Debugging the performance of a large system is often really unintuitive. So it is surprising when these same people think there is a simple black and white diagnosis that explains away our socioeconomic challenges, which is a more complicated system than anything we've engineered.
Amazon Dash Buttons, I Hate You
The norm in the game industry is usually to expect some kind of background in low-level programming (maybe C, maybe some version of C++), and then teach new employees a very specific, restricted subset of C++ that's the in-house dialect (and every company has its own, different subset).
Really depends. CPU mining is like trying to mine a diamond with a toothpick and will only get worse. If your machine isn't above at least some threshold (unless you have a massive farm of them), you're really just wasting CPU cycles and heat.

Kim Dotcom Reveals New Launch Schedule for BitCache, Megaupload 2
Example with .exe files isn't good one. Modern AVs may do better job than just blocking them. I use Norton AV, which shows a report summary on new downloaded files, based on which I can make informed decision on whether to launch it or not (I personally launch immediately only trusted executables and google for any issues of the rest). The same can be done with all threats: AVs warn, provide some details and let users decide what to do.

I love reading the comments on stories like this and consider these comments to be a bellwether as to the current state of inequality in our society. Unfortunately I tend to consider myself one who exists on the lower part of the wealth distribution logarithm within the western world, globally it's a different story. Just as anyone tweeting on their smart phone or tablet claiming to be part of the 99% might want to rethink that in a global context, most of us in the west are global 1% ers. Could it be that the rise in terror incedents recently may in fact be caused by this inequality and not just radical religious zealots? Even if this is not the case we may want to make sure that our empathy does not diminish to the point where we suggest that the starving people of the world eat cake if there is no bread.

Err, that kind of thing isn't unheard of in Western countries either.

It's just a matter of "is the person motivated enough?", which is more an individual thing. :D
that's because it is impossible. it takes years to master the language and that was before i lost touch with it around 2010 back when C++11 was TR1 or whatnot.

i understand that what is usually considered good form is trying to completely forget about C features like pointers and arrays and use their STL counterparts like unique/shared_ptr, std::vector, std::array and iterators. this gets you a nice modern subset of the language that makes it relatively difficult to shoot yourself in the foot.
> Is there any evidence government cronies are mining Bitcoin en masse?

I'm not quite sure why people who have contacts in the government would need/want to run bitcoin.

If you do have reliable contacts, the best way to make money (as I understand it) is from import/export fraud, as well as exchange rate trickery.

Bitcoin seems like it's something you can do without government contacts.
Oh gosh... how come does anyone not realize what a dead end a language has become once this kind of article needs to be written ?
You have to consider wealth over a historical time frame, and how it has changed, to understand why people think war might be a mean towards wealth and how that's changed over time.

Wealth used to be food, livestock, people (because they can make food and manage livestock), and things generally coveted by all, like jewelry. It was easy to imagine how going to war might increase one's wealth; you simply take their food, livestock, jewelry, and enslave their people. You have to whack their warrior class to do it, but beyond that, conquest was a pretty good deal.

Nowadays, actual physical conquest is not that useful for wealth acquisition. Bombing a skyscraper does not give you a skyscraper; it gives you an enormous mess to clean up. Too much modern wealth is in people's heads, or immobile infrastructure, or even just embedded in the ambient relationships between companies and people. A lot of that wealth is so fragile that it can be destroyed by a bad tax policy or poorly-conceived regulation, to say nothing of being literally bombed.

Modern wars are still about wealth, of course... it's just a lot more subtle than it used to be, and no longer has much to do with redistribution. Now it's about suppressing a rival, or enforcing your economic will on another country (like what appears to be our current war in the middle east because we wanted a pipeline to go here instead of there, which has since spiraled out of control), but to a large degree even these actions are the exceptions. A lot of what used to be armed conflict now happens in treaty negotiations and diplomacy, threats of embargo and threats of tariff, negotiations in the UN, stuff like that.

So it depends on your point of view. The really old ideas of war, that involve actually violence, is generally wealth destructive. If a war is going to stimulate an economy, it's going to be a subtle sort of economic stimulus from producing real goods and providing an impetus to reorganize the economy, not because of the spoils of war, which are all but useless in the modern era. But if you look at war in the broader sense, it has been almost entirely about redistribution, albeit mostly of future wealth (since current wealth is generally too expensive to move around). For instance, you don't really understand modern international climate negotiations if you think it is truly just about "climate"; it may be about that, but it is also a battle on the redistributive battleground.
More so than that, animals contribute in a positive way to vegetable production.

Chickens are great weeders.
Sheep and goats graze down grassy areas (or woody if goats) including areas that are in rotation but currently fallow, so it doesn't need to be mowed down with fossil fuel machines.
Pigs are great at rooting up uncultivated areas. And are wonderful waste disposal units.
All livestock make great fertilizer. In the case of pigs and chickens at least they make great fertilizer out of stuff we consider garbage.

But yes, meat consumption likely must be curtailed significantly.

>The largest voting blocks that have low turnout would make that gap larger, not smaller. Also, in urban areas where most of these protests are happening the gaps were enormous.

There is no proof of that. "If this person who decided not to vote were a person who decided to vote then they would vote in a similar manner to the other people who decided to vote" is stupid reasoning because that person decided not to vote.

In D.C., Hillary got 282k votes. The population is 659k. That's not even half of the population. Cool it with the 'massive majority' crap.

The US operates on an election system reflecting the house and senate. This should be basic knowledge for most American citizens. Throwing fits because it didn't go your way is pretty childish since it's exactly how the electoral college works.
