I agree that strict voting is important. I'm just waiting for evidence of widespread fraud before passing judgment.

Most recounts end up with different numbers just due to human error. This is "expected", and that should be fixed.I just read the book "The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives" and he mentions that there was an election in Washington State that was recounted 4 times with different outcomes each time. That's crazy. And as far as we know nothing to do with malicious intent.

> How much money would you like to bet...
I wouldn't bet any money because I have no idea. I assume there is some baseline level of fraud in most elections. It wouldn't surprise me if there is SOME fraud, but as most of the hullabaloo around fraud seems much more ideological than evidence based, I have no idea what to actually expect.
You forgot the premise of the 'outrage'

1) any entity, corporate or otherwise, must act without flaw or be dismantled. Big talk from one whom I doubt is running a top 5 company in arguably the most influential sector of the global market. The fallout of 'ending' VW is the forgotten factor. Try a little tenderness, who don't you?

2) the infrastructure that sustains VW is not a logo, or a brand name, it's thousands upon thousands of individuals, women and men who work hard to sustain that company so that vehicles are provided for a myriad of purposes. 'Ending' something if it has a flaw is like throwing away the baby with the bathwater. Why not change what needs changing and be less vitriolic? Are you shorting VW? Are you invested in Mitsubishi? Are you a Renault shill? Do you like speaking in hyperbole so as to clarify something without having to do the heavy lifting?

Obvy responses to poster above you if that wasn't clear to someone.

While Yates is a hero, she didn't merely disagree. She actively countermanded a directive from her boss.
> pretty much everyone who has a normal cycle will tell you that you just have to "be more disciplined", "just wake up the same time every day and you'll get into a better routine", etc

I feel your pain. Been there many times. The way I solved it was to become the boss.

Daywalkers will never understand. Even if you're an owl rather than a lark it's looked down upon - and the standard trope of "you're just lazy" come out; but delayed sleep phase syndrome where it's possible to go in and out of sync with the day is a real killer for the regular office hours.

I now get significantly more work done than at any time in my career because I sleep and awake when I want. Of course occasionally I need to be in-sync with someone (meetings, etc.). But it's relatively easy to have a few things to get in-sync with if I get good sleep the rest of the time.
I despise Trump, but I don't think it's it's acceptable for a civil servant to insert themselves into the news. If you're getting an unlawful or unethical order, you follow the process, suck it up or resign in protest.

By going rogue and making yourself the story, you're attacking the office of the president. It's a bad idea, bad precedent and will have bad outcomes.
Yeah, but people just hear "flouride" and think "OMG That's what they're putting in the water!" Just like they hear about mercury in vaccines and assume they cause nerve damage.

The masses understand at the soundbite level only. I don't know what to do about this.
>The major worry for me is Trump's seeking to punish anyone who shows disloyalty.

This shouldn't be surprising nor worrying. This is how hierarchical leadership works and it's fully expected that anyone under the President may be forced to do whatever the President wants. It's the entire reason there are 2 other branches of government.
The EPA's restrictions were mostly arbitrary and too restrictive, in my opinion. The European rules are more than sufficient. I don't think there's much moral issue with breaking more-or-less pointless regulations.
American left is willing to "forgive" and even embrace murderous "communists" like castros and che guevaras of the world for a variety of [misguided in my book] reasons so no wonder.
I mean who in their right mind would be willing to escape the "communist paradise" :)
> violating the environmental laws of every western country.

European nations aren't "western"?
I think the point is that it's not a printed medium. You can do anything you want with paper... It doesn't give restrictions to what you want to do. You can doodle, make a mind map, sketch an amazingly detailed human eye, or actually take notes and brainstorm in your meeting. Paper is flexible. Software is not. They think they've made a good attempt with "Paper" at providing that flexibility online.

You will fit right in here.
As true as this is, the symbolism behind this action is really troubling. If the attorney general claims that something may be illegal and unenforceable, people should listen. This comes off as purely political and makes it seem as though Trump will just fire anyone who disagrees with him, regardless of whether or not it makes sense to do so.
You serve at the pleasure of the political official. Forcing people to resign is more about saving the boss' face than the employee.

I've never heard of any of these. So the mainstream media has not really picked up on them and they pretty much have no steam on Twitter. Is anyone actually following through?

"These are five examples since November"

These are boycotts of very large companies, which happen all the time. I'm talking more about the harassment of individuals, the trolling of their employers (to get them fired), and the boycotting of small companies. Most of the info leading the charge for these are based on half-truths, libel, and rumors.

The Mozilla CEO was harassed and fired for donating a small amount of money years earlier to a political campaign. He wasn't harassing or being prejudice against anyone and a reporter had to search long and hard to find out about his political donations. I've never seen anyone on the right single out an individual and get them fired over something like this.

This sort of behavior needs to stop and another problem is that nobody will admit it's an actual problem.
I wasn't arguing that drivers could afford them. Just that lease prices for drivers would drop.
You cannot do that. Each deployed function corresponds to exactly one entry point in code. You can however pipe multiple HTTP endpoints through the same entry function like a router.

So let's say you do that.

If two clients request the same function at the same time it will run the function in two different containers. One for each client. They are isolated (think multiple instances of Node running in multiple Docker containers). They might as well be on different machines entirely.

The platform will not reuse the same container unless the previous request to that container has finished.
Sales don't factor in returns. If you sell a car and it's later returned, it still counts as a sale on the books.

In terms of bookkeeping, VW knew how much it roughly had to write off as soon as April 2016.
It was helpful to me, it put these algorithms in context and explained why there are useful over other methods. Were you expecting a graduate level course embedded in the post?
We're all wrong about some stuff: cognitive biases are baked into our brains. I mean yes, you're right that the left engages in that, but I definitely see it from both sides because we're all human at the end of the day. The most dangerous people are the ones who don't know what they don't know.
>He doesn't care what people think of him.

I don't know about that..
Banks hardly lose money on loans, they have an infinite capacity to go after delinquents. Try to default on your loan and see what happens to you. You'll be a slave of the bank for the rest of your life.

Of course, individuals bear no such power. So please don't use banks as an example.
I do that if I know it isn't right. You may argue she should just resign. But perhaps, and I don't want to make any assumptions, somebody just want to give him a hard time and stand up for his/her belief against Trump for as long as possible. The old saying, you can't do anything unless you are in the position. You can resign and next person take over can kiss Trump's ass. Do something while you are in the position that can do something.
Shocking, and also politically/tactically very stupid. Why not just use his base's newfound dislike of Yates (the fired AG) as leverage to get Sessions (his AG nominee) confirmed? Which confirmation was all but assured; but now...

I thought his campaign was brilliant, tactically; but this is amateur hour.
So the eventual result might be huge gains for new medallion owners ;)
>Were those not acquisitions that withered as opposed to Dropbox new product ventures?

Why on earth should that make any difference to the end user? Bottom line is they shipped them and then canned them.
I'm concerned we're going to see unprecedented levels of constitutional and legal violations from this particular executive branch. Checks and balances are great, but not when they happen after the fact. And no, the president is not elected dictator, there's a degree of insubordination allowed. It's not the first time an AG has said "we cannot fight this ruling, nor should we".

I guess you are right, I guess he doesn't care what his workers (people he hired for the jobs) think of him. He just cares about HAVING his audiences and his followers. He really doesn't care if they love him or adore him. He just wants the attention.
I'm well over 200,000 miles on my '98 Land Cruiser and looking for a replacement, but frankly, Toyota's current offerings aren't looking too hot...

The 200 series land cruiser is trending towards a suburb-mobile and is basically unsuited for offroad use, whereas the 70-, 80- and 100-series are awesome for offroading, even in stock off-the-lot configuration. The 4Runner is a decent offroad vehicle, but doesn't have the same legendary over-engineering as the Land Cruiser.

I might just try to keep my 100-series going for another few hundred thousand miles.
That time is very interesting to study. The economics of it are mind-bending. I think California has a ways to go before it becomes that economically powerful.

"in 1860, the value of the slaves was “roughly three times greater than the total amount invested in banks,” and it was “equal to about seven times the total value of all currency in circulation in the country, three times the value of the entire livestock population, twelve times the value of the entire U.S. "

I don't understand your point. Trump has dismissed the acting AG for refusing to execute the laws. As far as I know, Ms. Yates's job as acting AG is to preside over the enforcement of the law, not to decide whether it is constitutional (there is a process for that, and Ms. Yates is not in a position to make that determination) nor to decide whether it is good policy (as she is neither a legislator nor the chief executive). Would Democrats be pleased to see the same latitude offered to Senator Sessions once he's installed?

Note this is not an instance of prosecutorial discretion. Ms. Yates is not refusing to prosecute people under the law; rather, she is instructing her subordinates to refrain from doing the necessary work that would allow the government fair representation during hearings on the law.

If she is unwilling to fulfill her job duties for personal reasons (and likewise instructs her subordinates to stop fulfilling theirs), the appropriate course of action is to resign, is it not? If she's unwilling to do that and wishes to make a spectacle of herself, wouldn't a dismissal be the expected resolution?

How is dismissing an acting AG who refuses to enforce the law "purely political" and not an expected, appropriate response to someone who has refused to execute the laws of the country they're supposed to represent? Does it make sense to allow an acting AG to remain in place after she intentionally and explicitly declines to recognize the president's authority to direct the executive branch?

Yes this is great advice, I have since found an independent shop that I trust. They are actually the place I went for a second opinion on the engine replacement. I also found a third-party warranty company that does not require service at the dealership.
Technology has also created a market where the number of high quality films available for movie goers increases at a constant rate. If someone has a collection of high quality movies to watch, a new film coming to market is competing with the previous titles. It wasn't too long ago when an improvement in CGI meant the movie got an automatic increase in quality.
I am also a TiddlyWiki user. I use it as personal note taking + bookmarking + daily reading log. The best feature it has is a Wiki feature, not any TiddlyWiki feature: backlinks. I could make the backlinks show up in the footer of every page (tiddlers) and this reminds me connections I might have forgot. Tiddlywiki is also a great system for bookmarks. If I read something written by or about,say Roosevelt, I just add [[Roosevelt]] and I click on the link and just add a one line description like: Roosevelt was a [[US]] [[president|POTUS]] <year> and it will create a nice connection to the POTUS page and the US page. This is different from restrictive categories.

I keep software links, configuration, track-list for stuff I want to track (great new product/bookmark/book/service, just add [[TrackList]] when creating that page and can see it later in the footer of my TrackList page. Most Wikis can do this, however, in TiddlyWiki it is easy—no need to edit PHP files or plugins; it has a nice filter syntax that allow anything to be queried in a myriad ways tags, date, custom fields, title and so on, I just place that filter right there in the text and get the results.

It also supports other syntaxs such as Org-mode and Markdown if you use them; in retrospect I should have chosen Org-mode as an Emacs user, it would have been easier to get the data to other programs.

Couple of problems I face:

+ No converter to convert files to other Wikis or formats:

Not a TW problem, Pandoc and other tools cannot convert this to say, MediaWiki or DokuWiki. So as a non-programmer I am stuck with this as of now. But I am slowly trying to make work a Perl module[x] to convert the HTML to wiki form.

+ Static pages has awful URLS:

It double encodes the URLs and it is filled with "%2520". I wish they make a setting to replace that with hyphens or underscores.example page:[y]

If they could get this to work I think this has the chance of being the best static site generator. Easy to use and extremely customisable (or may be I am coloured by my non-programmer experience with static site generators).

+ Duplicate titles:

'Notetaking' is different from 'notetaking', so occasionally, I link to a non-existing pages for less frequently linked pages; there should be a setting for naming policy.

+ Data corruption:

I've seen few cases where people lost their data completely. TW warns about this in their page and advice people to use backup (I backup it to Dropbox). Example:[z]

I don't know if you can claim as facts that Trump represents American workers over the elites or that Rubio was bought by Disney. Those are hypotheses and opinions that can only be strongly or poorly argued to the rest of us.

I would declaim your first contention of Trump favoring workers over wealthy elites, merely by the long sordid history of wage theft perpetrated by Trump[0].

The claim about Rubio needs more evidence to be considered a fact. I would agree, given the circumstantial evidence, but it wouldn't yet be a fact unless direct evidence could be presented.

The question was about .NET Core, and I wrote about .NET which likely is closely related. It is likely that my use of .NET is also use of some of what is in .NET Core.

So, I answered based on what I know about .NET which should be relevant to the question.

Others can be more clear on what is the same, similar, or different between .NET and .NET Core. Then the parts of .NET Core that are also in .NET can get something of a clean bill of health from me.
Cicada 3301 Secret Organization Recruiting “Highly Intelligent Individuals”
Not much interesting in there it seems. TL;DR: Let's all review everything and decide on ways to improve things.
Google and Facebook are not employing the vast majority of H1B workers, the large BPO consulting firms like Wipro, CapGemini, Tata, Infosys, and Cognizant are (Source: http://www.myvisajobs.com/Reports/2017-H1B-Visa-Sponsor.aspx). Just because Google treats their H1B employees well doesn't mean everyone does, it's a small sample.

My experience is more in line with the previous poster. The workers can be terribly treated, at the mercy of their sponsoring company, and underpaid. There is the constant threat that you can be sent back to India at any time if you don't tow the company line. Many of these folks have moved their lives and their families to the US for these jobs, so this is a very serious threat.

We had one extremely talented lead engineer from Wipro that was so overworked from 10-12 hour days in the office and then another 6-8 at home on calls w/his team in India that his hair literally started falling out from the stress and lack of sleep.

Let's not kid ourselves, H1B is a source of cheap(er) skilled labor that the tech firms love because they don't need to invest in training and can exercise a level of control over them. The company can reduce or eliminate the risk that the worker will quit for a better position, unlike if they took a US worker and spent the money to train their skills up. We all know salary is just a small part of the overall cost of recruiting and retaining talent.

Personally, I'm in favor of opening up the restrictions on immigration. I believe that immigration and growing a country's population is essential to the long term viability of a nation. From my personal experience, I've seen that the H1B program has been abused and distorted to the whims of the big consulting firms at the expense of the workers in the program.

>It was an executive order in 1942 that created the system forcing Americans of Japanese descent to live in internment camps.

Funny how often I see this roundabout way of framing this. They'd rather not come out and say that FDR, the president, took this initiative. It was a piece of paper that did this.

Congress, the usual suspect is not to blame. Nobody voted on this. There was no public debate.

So we tiptoe around calling out FDR, maybe because he is one of our golden boys.

And we call them "internment" camps, to soften it a bit.
The tool bar is modeled as a separate computer, that talks to the laptop not over USB, but a network interface.

That actually opens up a huge can of worms, as networking as a host of security issues. One example is with a VPN connection. For obvious security reasons, when a lot of VPNs are active, they force all networking to flow through them. That is problematic, because the remote side has no way to route the toolbar traffic back to it.

So, VPN software is now busily building out exceptions to their routing rules. Don't worry, I'm sure this won't lead to bugs or future security holes...
