> the many people calling Trump an actual fascist

The Holocaust statement, which was pitch-perfect Holocaust denial of the modern weaselly style, should genuinely terrify everyone.

People are still desperately trying to act like everything is basically normal when it's incredibly not. Every idea you had about political engagement and norms, throw it in the garbage and start from scratch.
I don't think I agree with your sentiment. It's not hysteria. It's just waking up slightly from your slumber. American politics is in dire need of course correction and has been for some time. The way it is going sooner or later the masses will elect an actual dictator to run the country, because the various chilling effects on activism and the lack of reform and looking out for the needs of the public. If anything the hysteria against Trump is a warning sign. As was electing Trump in the first place. It means politics is not working, and course correction in politics is not working as well.

Is it supposed to be a joke?
Anyone knows how far is Apple from getting the following desktop system as one SoC?

- 4GHz 12-core 64-bit ARM OooE with 256KiB L2 cache per core

- 12MiB of L3 cache

- Integrated graphics with 128MB eDRAM

- PCI-Express buses

- 35 GB/s DDR4 memory controller

- 5-65W power usage
what does it mean that it's "officially"?
Apple isn't going down this road again because it's "in their culture", they're doing it because it puts them at an advantage and because they can. Changing the architecture means changes from the silicon level to the application level; it's not so much about engineering talent as it is controlling the entire stack. Still, 30 years later, Apple is the only company that could pull it off.

A lot of corporate political posturing is just marketing. For example, Bud Light sponsors gay pride as marketing presuming that it's a positive ROI. Even if investors have anti-gay politics they don't object because they're in it for the money and they trust that management knows what it's doing.

If part of the idea is to find differences between the working and non-working environments, does RunKit include a way to diff two containers, or something?
I appreciate and commend that you're willing to act on your convictions. I suspect your concerns of a political litmus test is unfounded. Your business ideas and their feasibility are likely much more important.

One of the things that concerns me is how we work together when there are differences of opinion or politics. I want to believe that we can, while still allowing us to express our opinions. You yourself have effectively tested Sam and YC in just this way and found him wanting. That's of course your perogative, and I respect whatever decision you make.
From brief exposure to various death-bed regrets, I get the impression that people generally regret what they didn't do. I.e. if one had a family-focused life, they'll regret not doing anything useful. If they worked hard to help their community or the world, they'll regret not spending enough time on relationships or not starting a family. Etc.
As mentioned below we only used Slony to upgrade from 9.2.something to 9.6.1. For regular replication we use PostgreSQL's streaming replication.
You might be right about things, but there's plenty of time.

Part of the issue, for me, isn't so much what Trump has done so far policy-wise, it's the environment this is all occurring in, and what Trump is setting up and what he has done in the past. If the legislature was in Democratic control, I wouldn't be so concerned. If Trump had actually divested his business, I might rest easier. If Trump weren't so much in the pockets of Russia for obvious reasons, it might not be so bad. And so forth and so on.

Instead, we have all of it happening simultaneously. To summarize:

1. You have a white supremacist in a central position in the white house.

2. There are concerns about Trump's vulnerability to Russia, with reports of his involvement in hacking, and evidence prior to the election that this is true.

3. To make (2) worse, you have a visible schism developing between Trump and the people who would know about those things, the intelligence and military communities. The president is actually essentially siding with Russia and distancing himself from US military and intelligence.

4. At the same time, he's bringing the FBI, who is in charge of domestic enforcement, more under his control, and eliminating segments of it that disagree with him. He rewards Comey, who arguably was complicit in using his position to sway the election.

5. The FBI itself reports concerns about white supremacy in law enforcement. So now you have white supremacists cuddling up to the people who are supposed to do something about white supremacy.

6. The other person who might be in a position to do something, the AG, also has a history of white supremacist positions.

7. Trump refuses to actually divest of himself of his business interests, creating huge conflicts of interests.

8. He places people with massive financial conflicts of interest in certain cabinet posts, essentially letting foxes run the henhouses.

9. He's actively hostile toward the press, who are simply doing what they should be doing and holding public officials to the high standard of scrutiny they should be held to.

Do I need to go on?

Essentially, there's no checks and balances anymore. At all. The person in the white house, who lost the popular vote, is behaving as if he's an organized crime boss. And the GOP is acting as if the ends always justifies the means, even if it means dismantling democratic processes. See NC for an example of this playing out.

This is why some people are freaking out. Because even if it's not currently fascism nationally, it's feeling very similar to it. I know those terms were used by those on the hard right about Obama, and maybe diluted the meaning of the term, but at the moment there's too much unchecked power. Way too much.

My political beliefs actually don't align well with either major party, but to me this is a very very very bad situation.

We shouldn't have to worry about whether or not we're jumping the gun. That's the point.

Hey HN! One of the organizers here- let me know if you have any questions!
FYI

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/err_on_the_side...

Just in case you ever use that phrase in critical correspondence. Better to err on the side of caution.
What if CA could not, in fact, influence the outcome of the election, but instead predict it, and then they just made the bet to approach the winning party and got $$$?

And then they just keep doing this at each election or referendum and claim each time to have been influential?

What if?
Exactly. I see where the author is going with his article (and I think some of the points he raises are actually quite valid), but he's playing both sides of the "heavier than what?" point.

Yes, the JVM is slimmer than many interpreted languages with external dependencies (Python, Ruby, etc), and yes it can be slimmed down through manual labor, but no it is not something you can call "not heavy" with a straight face.
I'm not disputing that...but like I mentioned in the post; I'm ruthless not spending time on things that aren't our core service. I don't host our own mail either, I pay for GSuite :-P.
Microsoft has over 100,000 employees. They're not pulling resources from other teams for Microsoft Research.
I totally agree with you there. Most online news articles use those annoying click-bait titles and try to make the story seem bigger than it is (in a misleading way). Even weather.com does that crap with weather stories.
These types of arguments cause many intelligent people to headdesk. They're hardly an apples to apples comparison.

Of course "Go was Faster". It's because you started with a clean slate!
If I was Putin and I was trying to interfere in US politics, then after seeing that dossier I would have done this anyway just to mess with people, setting up a bunch of shell companies and essentially selling a 19% share of the company to itself.

Gonna need more hard evidence before being concerned about this.
As Tim Cook said, "if you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock."

If you don't like what the company leadership says or does, you always have the option to sell your ownership and start a new company with your values and opinions.

In the meantime, public or private companies that take stances on issues like this can empower their employees, gain new customers, and enjoy the freedom to express their values.
I don't like the fact that American society is becoming so heavily politicized. I have family members, cousins who are brother and sister, refusing to talk to each other because of this nonsense.

This needs to end.
Because the idiot (i.e. ME!) had pushed on his home computer and wanted to pull his work on his office computer. Don't ask me why they're different ATM...work in progress.

That is bull. Everything about what tech is creating is political. Software cannot "eat the world" and not be political. Ignore it at your own peril.
I think there is a lot of truth in your comment. But I also noticed that are drawing connections between things and presenting them as evident and exclusive, apparently without thinking about other effects. For example you say

> danger is highly correlated with sexual arousal for evolutionary reasons - hence the epidemic of rape during wartime

I doubt the premise. But more than that, doubt that the epidemic of rape is really dominantly caused by fear-induced sexual arousal. The much more likely explanation is that in war, traumatized men with weapons who haven't had sex in a long time meet women that hold no power against them. On top of that, rape often goes unpunished or is expected.

All of these are better explanations than yours.

This is just an example for the issue I have with your way of reasoning.
I would be surprised if most startups arent doing something similar behind the scenes.
How is it far more complex than C#? Both have been designed at about the same time and VB.net has broken backward compatibility precisely to get rid of legacy design decisions. But both have evolved since. And yes you can use a generic and non generic version of a class. Yes you have old style async and new async/await versions of methods. Yes you have explicit typing vs type inference with two ways to do the same thing. And yes you can use lync as an expression or as chained functions. How is that different from C#? Both have evolved pretty much side by side and have as much legacy.

The one thing in my opinion that has been preserved from VB6 and is dangerous as ambiguous semantically is the following:

Dim x as Integer

Means declare a variable x and instantiate it to zero

For i = 1 to 10
Dim x as integer
x += 1
Next

The second line means declare x as integer but only instantiate it to zero the first iteration, the second iteration the instruction will be ignored.

That to me is unintuitive.
That sort of was the point I was trying to make...they have a lot of big picture "features" but their foundations are crumbling...sadly. Don't quite agree with you on Docker = prebuilt image. We do loads of cool stuff with Docker containers. We're microservice heaven here :-P
> Same with racism: he wasn't in any way called "racist" by anybody until he ran for president

Pretty sure people were calling him a racist when he was running around promoting the Birther hoax - I know I was - or even before that when he called for the death penalty for the falsely accused Central Park 5 in 1989.
So do immigration laws affect a company directly? Like the existence of a H1b program? How about requirements to cover same sex partners of your employees with your company health insurance? How about laws on maternity leave? How about proposals for public transit that your employees could take from SF to mountain View? What about data privacy laws that conflict between the EU and the US? What political topics are you thinking of that are irrelevant to most companies?
From the comment you're replying to: "The sketches are so intricate they look like a photograph."
I'm fully on the Zenimax side of this one as well.
> I read New York Times, Washington Post, The Atlantic, Slate and Salon

So you admit you are only reading from sources with a similar bias/narrative on this issue?

This happens in India too (replace drug lord with politician, someone influential) that hasn't stopped companies having offices there. And BTW, contrary to what seems common knowledge, there are a lot of expats in India (probably not as many as in the US).

Maybe Mexico is radically different, I don't know. But this seems far fetched to me.

That was obscene. It's sadly true that the nazis committed acts of genocide against many peoples. The holocaust specifically refers to the genocide of Jews specifically.

My skepticism was the secret orbits, not the shared multiprocessing.

There's no such thing as a secret orbit.

It means that the Flynn was looking for an intensifier to underline the saber rattling.
Technology just means applying what we know (science) to making tools or systems for solving our problems. Ultimately we cannot avoid using technology in that broad sense to solve societal and political problems.

I must once again challenge readers of Hacker News to consider the possibility that the popular news feeds do not provide an accurate view of the global political situation. This is because information control is a critical aspect of warfare, and that comes in the form of propaganda. And, whether you believe it or not, the United States maintains its position in the world through deadly force that requires projection. This projection comes in the form of extensive, connected military campaigns that have been ongoing for decades. This warfare makes it important to shape information around it -- hence American propaganda.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_exceptionalism#Critic... as a criticism (I suggest that America is _not_ an exception to history, but much confusion comes from the belief that it is).

In the context that I am trying to make accessible, my own worldview, the fact that these countries are largely Muslim is in a way a distraction from the real issue, which is: the US and overall current geopolitical order is dependent upon control over distribution of fossil fuels (with much, much more resources allocated to US and closest allies), that (unequal) resource control requires military force to protect key areas for extraction and transport, military control over much of the territory of the affected countries is unavailable/not secure, and those areas are all critical in relation to maintaining the resource control and current order.

Look at a map https://www.google.com/maps/place/Somalia/@21.0767185,36.995..., see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Hormuz, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_oil_consu..., compare to map of affected countries of recent immigration action https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-trump-immigration-ba...

In my opinion, religion is not the real issue, and although (obviously) immigration actions against these countries is likely to mainly inflame the situation more, the problems are much more severe than people want to believe. Its not just that we have some people who are prejudice against other religions, however nice it would be to believe that is the whole problem. The root of the problem is really the unequal resource distribution, unresolved military security issues (or in some cases, undeclared war against) (with) those countries, and the reality that the global order is maintained by deadly force and propaganda.
"Plan to throw one away; you will, anyhow." First version to understand the problem, second version to solve it.

But deployment, gc pauses and startup time (jvm vs go) are orthogonal to program quality. I would also expect go to have less memory usage.

> deployment was simpler and faster, memory usage was slashed..., request/response times were much more consistent, startup was practically instant
But there is much more domestic political gain from having an external enemy than a friend.
