Absolutely agreed.

Depending on whether that 'you' is actually me or a general reader, I think my comment may have come off wrong. I'm not suggesting that the current tone in US news is a clear improvement, I'm just rejecting the claim that with this election we're in an unprecedented death-of-news situation.

The state of most media in the US is deplorable. 'Fake news' sites aside, sources have been abandoned for access, and optimizing cost per click metrics has been interpreted as a reason to run unverified nonsense and press releases under the guise of actual journalism.

That's even without the complete failures of domain knowledge, context, and objectivity; the NYT recently left my jaw on the floor with a piece about how US involvement in Honduras is making "the most dangerous place in the world" safer. The legacy of US coups there, and CIA backing of brutal paramilitaries, was not mentioned even once - an unfamiliar reader was left to believe that the country was hellish by its own efforts, and saved by American intervention. Passing that sort of myopia off as a feature story is an ugly reminder of just how bad "good" journalism gets.

Good journalism still exists, with some effort. There are sites like The Intercept which report thoroughly and carefully, and which approach stories with a clear and predictable viewpoint - something I greatly prefer to the mock-neutral tone many groups use to bury the inescapable ideological choices of reporting.

If we're lucky, Reuters just means they're going to refuse a personal stake in covering US political news. I wouldn't mind a movement towards a more distant, anthropological style of coverage. If Trump's 'opponents' line reminds reporters that good journalism is adversarial to power, we might see some of the old style come back.
> The problem is not "fake news". The problem is people are treating the news like a product in the capitalist paradigm.

I would say a huge part of the problem is that news is no longer news. It's all commentary. News organizations are not only incentivized to to sensationalize stories to make money but they are also ran by people who have extreme political views and want to essentially mind control the population. They don't want to report the facts of a story. They want to make you accept their interpretation of the facts.

A great example is how different news organizations cover the recent executive order on immigration. Depending on where you get your news you were told there was a Muslim ban, a ban from 7 Muslim majority countries, only accepting Christian refugees from the Middle East, 7 countries that harbor terrorists were banned, etc.

Wherever you fall on that issue there is a news org trying to force you into a certain viewpoint one way or the other.
I agree with most of what you say...AOT is far more of a competitive advantage for phones and other devices.

But I'd argue that there are very few benefits of JIT that can't be achieved by AOT + PGO. A sound static type system nullifies the need for most of those benefits (like speculative type optimizations and deoptimizations). But it might have the upper hand in cases where profiling can't capture all of the possible optimizable workloads that the binary would see. Databases or other large programs that continuously specialize over the lifecycle of the process. But that is far more niche than most people realize.
> I believe Bouncycastle supports it, but am not sure.

Yeah I know Jetty, Tomcat and Undertow all support it. But they are either terrible hacks or bypass Java crypto entirely.

> Java crypto has lagged for years for the residual effects of legal restrictions.

Nope, long keys were (and still are) are disabled per default. It is and always was just a config change. I agree with you that's is lagging a bit (e.g. TLS 1.3 will likely have to wait for Java 10 or later) but legal restrictions are not the cause.
I wasn't interested in whether you're using them, I just want to know if you can define the term.

Or, if you'd care to share any interesting papers or resources related to the cryptography you've implemented!
>stay out of the illegal drugs business and you'll be fine.

It's not that simple. Imagine if you have a relationships with the daughter of someone in the drug trade (or one of your children do) - and have a bad breakup. Imagine if someone in a cartel decides to take a liking to your daughter - it happens all the time in certain areas. It can happen in America or anywhere - you or someone in your family can get in an abusive relationship - but in Mexico, cartel members are used to getting what they want and acting very violently when they don't.
Great article overall, but I wish it went a little deeper in explaining how we should interpret the statistics it recommend.

It basically says "don't use the normal numbers, use these instead, because they are closer to what you would expect them to mean"

However I don't find all of these statistics super obvious.
Hart | Orange County, CA | ONSITE | https://hart.com
Hello, its Eric (eric@hart.com) from Hart. Happy first of the month. I come in here every month and post the jobs we are looking for. Right now we are looking for several open positions. We look for highly talented technical enterprise level engineers and staff to meet the requirements of our partners in the healthcare world. We keep things very casual around the office, with our own professional chef, drinks, and snacks, your own custom workspace, insurance packages, 401K perks that can’t be touch, and I can’t even list all the perks here. Anyways this month we are looking for the following positions.

It's more expensive to get the subscription even if you do upgrade regularly. And I don't think most people buy the latest version of Office with every release. And what "monthly improvements" are even needed? Office seems pretty feature complete for most use cases.

The linked Reuters article said their polls showed a 90% chance of a Clinton win, but the polls across all boards proved to be unreliable after the fact. What they did that advanced the idea of unbiased journalism is twofold:

First, they reported on early election numbers in North Carolina which directly contradicted their poll numbers and showed Trump performing better than predicted.

Second, they outlined a clear and realistic path to Trump winning. While their own poll numbers did not support this fact, they ultimately included it. They also did not rule out a Trump win in any way.

It is always important to note that a 90% chance of winning is in no way a guarantee, and I do not believe Reuters ever truly ruled out Trump as a contender. They used the only early data available, polls--and when every poll is wrong, and psychics are still not a real thing, they did what they could with the data they had. At least, in my reading of the article you linked.

Regarding the polls you linked, those are not the Reuters/Ipsos polls of 15,000 participants. Those are much smaller polls (850 users) with far larger margins for error.

While I cannot speak to the censoring of the 11/6 poll mentioned in the second tweet, having Trump leading in popular vote nationally (eg: what polls generally check) was ultimately incorrect, regardless of what you believe. Polls need to be carefully read, interpreted, and corrected for -- which is why fivethirtyeight gave Trump a much higher chance to win than any other body.
How do you start a startup if you're at least a few years from getting out of existing debt? Is it even remotely feasible? I've been having urges to give it a try but I'd be starting in the hole, which seems like a really bad idea.

When you follow Reuters method of manipulation you end up with this analogous example: If a stranger said she saw you at McDonald’s eating a cheeseburger; and your neighbor said he also saw you eating a cheeseburger at McDonald’s; well…….

Yes and if you've actually paid attention you will see that a high salary signals other workers to flood the market with a lower salary thus starting the race to the bottom :)

Programmers have largely driven themselves to zero, just take a look at the workers on freelance websites and how much difficulty a native English speaking freelancer has against an army of commoditized labor.

There are still six digit earning engineers and always will be but you can't look at that as a metric for the massive commoditization that has occurred with generic programming in the past 15 years.
They will do this. Tesla branded panels, inverters, batteries, car chargers, apps. All seamlessly integrated from one company. I'm curious whether they'll get into DC optimizers.
Not again this story. This is a very sensationalist take on the impact of micro-targeting. It probably has some impact, but every political campaign has been doing this for years and there isn't something inherently special about Cambridge Analytica's approach (other then being funded by the Mercers and hence Trumps go-to firm).

I agree with the parent but I began reading the New York Times every morning at the age of 12, wondering to myself "why is there so much speculation going on around Iraq and WMDs? We haven't found anything so why does everybody want to invade?"

I still like the Times to an extent, but they like many other papers get it wrong from time to time. Doesn't mean I should leave and never look back, but instead I have taken to critically thinking about every story I read from every source to come to a conclusion about an issue.

I don't think fake news or poor journalism is a problem. The problem is people and their lack of critical thinking, often substituted for blind acceptance of a narrative that fits their preferred reality.
Really interesting, thanks for sharing.

They seem to work really hard. Every obsolete / dead political movement in history (religion, too) was staffed primarily by honest and genuine true believers. I don't think they're lazy or stupid or unmotivated. They just hitched their carriage to a dead horse, that's all.

People involved in current day ascendant political movements and modern religions like to think they're somehow different than the dead past, but sooner or later they find out the hard way they're not. (edited to add, in my study of history I've never found an aspect of human nature quite as cross cultural and universal as this, nothing, nothing comes close, not monotheism or the golden rule or dualism or progressivism, nothing so universally human)

Agreed. Also, given the nature of his lofty goals at Spacex, they're going to take a huge amount of his time to make happen.

Musk is very much motivated by progressing humanity. At this point, the electric car and solar revolutions are well underway (thanks in part to him). But if he were to die tomorrow, it's very possible that a lot of his dreams for space travel would die with him. The industry just hasn't reached the same level of competitive self-sufficiency.

Is some support for turnout being a problem. "Wisconsin tells the same numbers story, even more dramatically. Trump got no new votes. He received exactly the same number of votes in America’s Dairyland as Romney did in 2012. Both received 1,409,000 votes. But Clinton again could not spark many Obama voters to turn out for her: she tallied 230,000 votes less than Obama did in 2012. This is how a 200,000-vote victory margin for Obama in the Badger State became a 30,000-vote defeat for Clinton."

My thoughts where people would have been more willing to hold their noses and vote for her if they thought it was going to be a very close election. Few democrats in Michigan really thought the state was up for grabs at something like 78.9% vs 21.1% https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/...

More support for this is new-hampshire (70-30) was predicted as a closer state than Pennsylvania (77-23), but ended-up very comfortably with Clinton. Remember, Pennsylvania (20) + Wisconsin (10) + Michigan (16) + 227 = 273 and a win.

Now, I am not saying the effect was huge, but in tight elections it does not take much. Further, both the Senate +2 and House +6 shifted toward democrats though maintaining republican leaning.
So after effects is controlling the shared element transitions?

> The other reason why I wouldn't touch a site like Gigster is that those sites almost always turn into a race to the bottom for low-value jobs for the most difficult clients.

I've never actually taken a contract from one of these sites, but having looked at them before, this has been my observation every time I've considered it. Spend 20 minutes browsing posted contracts, getting increasingly frustrated, and then just write off the entire site.

The thing is, these sites aren't well-suited for creating contract relationships. To make money, they want to keep you at the site. Plus all of the commissions, etc. It's just like Homejoy, etc -- the value add is in the initial intro, but they're trying to make money off of you perpetually. It's not sustainable and it's never that successful in the first place.

Word to the wise: if you want to build a site that does something like this -- any potentially long-term arrangement where money is being exchanged for services via contract -- start by building a cross between Craigslist and Yelp, and then, once you're established as a good way for clients to find contractors, offer them some kind of long-term value add (automatic invoicing, timekeeping, whatever). Monetize the latter, but keep the former free.
