I might be missing the point, but a lot of the responses sound emotion driven, with the overwhelming emotion being the fear of change. So, it seems patronizing to attribute any sort pro/con formalism. Basically, Trump has a lot of fear driven rhetoric, and if you heard one of your fears, then regardless of the validity, you felt that someone was taking your side.
Thanks for the feedback! Will fix those in the next release.
Trump alluded to himself being Hitler the other day with "enemy of the people," so that doesn't really seem all that problematic. I do agree that the Democrats desperately need to get their shit together overall.
How to Bury a Major Breach Notification
Nothing will work unless we do a complete remodel to all our assumptions about money, society, a person's worth, etc. We need to take a big sledgehammer to all our old ideas, and the time to do it is now.

It's an entirely new world ahead of us. The changes will be tremendous, unprecedented in history in a literal sense. Now is not the time to be ideologically lazy.
That's kinda hilarious. If I talked about virtues of small govt, and the guy next day hands me a one way ticket to Somalia (or some stuff like that), I would find it extremely hilarious.

Keep in mind, giving a framed photo of Stalin is totally different than screaming "You're effing Stalin!" (which he didn't do).

What a useless and unhelpful comment? This whole article was about figuring out why people voted for Trump so it doesn't happen again. Moral of the story was that comments like your's have drove a lot towards Trump. Some one makes a comment about why they support Trump, contributing to the article, and you immediately jump to an -ism that will probably push them farther towards that side. Do you not realize that you are part of the problem?

> What can we do to make this a more sane process for everybody involved?

It probably doesn't involve starting from the premise that they're "bad people".

My answer would be more along the lines of "ok, you can come and work, just register and complete this background check, and you'll be good to go in a month". It might involve a longer wait for citizenship or no access to certain benefits, which is something that is, of course, already in place for legal immigrants, or other compromises, but making otherwise honest people 'illegal' isn't really working. Letting honest people go through an easy process also has the benefit of 'separating the wheat from the chaff' - if you see someone who is sneaking around or otherwise not documented, you have a much stronger reason to think they're up to no good, rather than simply washing dishes on the sly.
Watch it be something far less exciting than the vagueness would lead one to believe.

Like when they promised "a discovery about extraterrestrial life" that turned out to be arsenic-based life in a pond which turned out to not actually be asrsenic-based
I wouldn't want Trump as dictator but believe institutions and laws constrain what he can do in most of the other areas where I disagree with him; improving 2A rights is more complex and discretionary.

(I'd be supportive of both some kind of pre-purchase background check AND of some way to trace a physical gun used in a crime to a registered owner provided it also did NOT build a registry of all guns owned by a given owner, or a way to identify that a given person was an owner of guns or not. There are some technical ways to implement this, especially the latter.

There have been technical improvements to NICS over the past few months which have made it both more efficient AND more accurate; there's a lot of potential to improve the existing background checks used for all sales via dealers, and once it gets good enough, it's a lot easier to provide access to it for private party transfers as well. If I were in a state where I could privately sell a gun to someone w/o going through an FFL, I'd be uncomfortable selling to anyone I didn't know personally, and given that I know how hard it is to validate physical credentials well without checking a centralized database, even something like LE ID wouldn't be as comforting as being able to make a NICS check. Outside of known-person transfers, I'd generally rather just spend the $10-25 to let an FFL handle the transfer for me, although this is already legally required in WA state.)
What OS/browser are you running? iOS 10.2.1 with safari seems to work as expected for me.
All I can say is that the first two things I tried on the Windows Linux Subsystem didn't work, mainly running Elixir and Debootstrap. It's okay that they aren't (yet?) supported, but something that looks & smells like Ubuntu, yet isn't, doesn't inspire confidence that it can be trusted to act like Ubuntu.

An alternative approach would be to call it Winbuntu, Winux, or simply Ubuntu for <windows subsystem architecture>. Then aggressively maintain a list of known compatibility issues, and stay on top of fixing them. Maybe even open source it?! A close sourced, not-quite-what-I-wanted solution is simply less interesting to me.
> the biggest loss was your media [...] The stern, respectable, dignified leader that the hero must protect...

After the Obama Spider-Man cover in 2008, I've been carefully watching Marvel comics for any appearance of the US president. I've seen a few phone-call presidents which the reader can imagine as anyone, and one appearance of the president shown in silhouette, from the back, with a glimpse of darker skin. This was published after the inauguration, but likely drawn during the lame duck period.

No comment, just some anecdotal notes on how some creators are handling this.
Common theme: conservatives are afraid liberals will laugh at them and maybe make them pay a bit more in taxes.

Liberals are afraid conservatives will take away their healthcare, starve the poor, kill black people, start foreign invasive wars, etc.

Yet conservatives are baffled when liberals feel so strongly about their politics.

I also find it baffling that the self same people arguing that political correctness is wrong want liberals to be less "mean". Strange.

What gets my goat is the kind of shouting down I get whenever I take any contrarian stance on non-GMO foods, or God forbid, vaccination.

I know that vaccines are critical and that there is nothing wrong with them. But to not even admit the possibility that there might be a link between vaccines and some health problems is, to me, very anti-science.

My understanding for science has always been to question all assumptions, even ones you think are your sacred cows.

If it's not obvious, it's probably because you've slightly misunderstood the problem somewhere. You have a finite list of items, and you want to create matches between them based on how many of each letter they have. Now it's simple, right?
1. That's really funny, actually, as long as it didn't lead to you being fired or marginalized at work. You can give each other a hard time while still getting along.

2. Was the picture frame any good? Worst case, free frame!

3. OK, serious this time, who brought up politics at work - you or the bosses? I work at a big company and people generally avoid politics and religion, and people do seem to actively pretend they don't hear it when someone tries to go there. At a smaller shop, who went there?

If you don't see how these comments prove his points, you should reread over and over and over again until you do.

Every analysis of "How the hell did he win?" that I've seen has basically been that no one else listened to the people outside the population centers, or outside mainstream thought. He did and crafted a campaign based on it.

So listen. Just because you disagree or think they are lies, or whatever, doesn't mean you won't learn something about why those people think the way they do. No one is saying you have to agree. Credit to the author for actually listening.

> "well, ACTUALLY, you're wrong because..." or "well, TECHNICALLY, I'm right because..."

Can you point to a timestamp in the video during which I said either of these things (or adopted the attitude which you say they represent)?

Yes, of course many thousands of people have seen this video. For years, I spoke to people about it all the time. It has been shown at several conferences. I have received feedback of many stripes from many people in many contexts. And, as you can see, there are detractors even on the comments page who make similarly dubious critiques to the one you're making; we've heard it before.

I surmise that, had these police officers happened to have different occupations and they had stopped and detained me as haphazardly and chaotically as they did, your critique might adjust.

I was direct, clear, and professional. The only fly in the ointment came from the apparent unwillingness to hear the simple, direct, clear statement that I was not going to show identification. There is no reason for me to have to say this over and over again to adults whose job it is to listen and perceive the language of civic dialogue. Yet I did, and I did so with precisely the tone and attitude that I think is reasonable in a civilized public square (again, give-or-take my nervousness, which contributed a few awkward laughs and such, but did not veer toward "smart alecky.")
The article describes evidence that an educated member of the Persian elite was employed at an academy that trained officials of the Japanese imperial government. It's not at all clear how the researcher in the article makes the leap from this limited evidence for elite-to-elite contact to the conclusion that "...this suggests Nara was a cosmopolitan city where foreigners were treated equally.” Consider the conclusions that would be drawn from the modern-day scenario of a modern-day Persian employed at a government training facility in, say, Pyongyang...

> People start throwing link after link of facts and don't want to even reason about ideas. It's hopeless and I end up keeping my mouth shut.

So, you take a contrarian view. People respond with facts. So, where's the problem? You don't like the facts? Don't want to hear them or what exactly?
I doubt they've gotten worse. BUT, they shouldn't have been legal in the first place, especially for American citizens. The whole notion of "Constitution-free zones" is ludicrous.
CLion is pretty spiffy IMO, though it uses CMake as the underlying build tool which may or may-not be your thing (I prefer scons.. but nothing's perfect).
> I'm not, which is why I'm not okay with Capitalism. Being forced to sell your labour in order to avoid poverty, destitution or death or, in the case of the modern welfare state, the degrading feeling of having to live a poor life from charity of the State is one of the ultimate forms of slavery.

Capitalism is perfectly fine with you detaching yourself from the system and surviving off the land.

> The idea that Capitalism promotes human value is ridiculous.

Capitalism helps us quantify human productivity. That's about it. Humans have transcendent value. Capitalism defends everyone's right not to be forced into slavery by threat of force. There are no other systems that can make that claim.
Congratulations! You have now improved the recidivism rate to 100%. Because seriously, what's an ex-convict going to do after leaving prison in that system? No UBI and no prospect of a job (look at employment rates for ex-cons today, do you think that's going to get better?) will very quickly lead people back to crime by necessity.
A "fact" is just a statement with a probability distribution attached to it. If your prior is different than someone else's, your posterior is going to be different as well.

Yeah, he's vain, and above all else he is about building his personal brand, and with that come the incredibly inflammatory "feminism is cancer" sound bytes, but if you ever actually watched some of the talks he's been doing on his tour, he brings up a lot of valid grievances with today's society and culture.

If you won't do minimal research on the opposition, and instead think violence is the answer, then you're already beyond help.
I did something like that for multiword anagrams: scoring them by their probability in a word-bigram model of English. It's expensive because I had it pick the best permutation of the words, by brute force. It's far from a measure that could really judge "this is a great anagram", but there are so astronomically many boring ones to filter out that it's still a big help.
It seems like the GOP picked her as a target when she was First Lady and never, ever let up on demonizing her. Unsurprising that 20 years of destructive characterization stuck.

She did herself no favors by being more or less a typical politician in a lot of regards. When you're trying to defeat that much mudslinging, it's helpful to behave above reproach.

I think more people would have respect for the plight of Syrian refugees, if broad support of immigration weren't a hallmark of the democratic platform.

If the platform was utterly protectionist (or at the very least pragmatic), but made a moral exception for Syrians then it'd be easier to listen to.

Instead today, it feels as if supporters of immigration are simply cherry picking the most sympathetic candidates and using them to prop open the door for everyone else.

No one lacks sympathy for war refugees, what we all disagree on is where, when, and how such sympathy should be expressed. There are wars happening in our world constantly. Should there be an open door policy to all refugees? Should they ever be expected to leave the country? (some say yes, but I'd argue that after building a life for 5+ years in the US, you ought to given permanent residency). Should there be any kind of screening processes? (after all wars do not erupt from nowhere, some civilians will always support the 'bad' side, even if they eventually become refugees).
As someone who works in the field, I can't imagine automation would show up in either labor productivity of capital investment noted in the article.

In the case of labor productivity (by my understanding), if someone were to lose a job to automation and then begin working a less productive / lower paying job (because it's all they could get) then GDP would stay the same, hours worked would stay the same, and only the individual would be screwed, no?

In the case of capital investment, hard robotics is a photo op. The real job destruction is coming from soft robotics + initial deployments of AI. I can't imagine the procurement costs of those are falling under the capital ex budget. The departments we typically deal with are almost exclusively business-operations units (typically ones ill-served by the company's current IT).

Anyone who performs a process that follows a definable set of business rules is going to be automated away in the next 10 years. Some will last longer (OCR), some will go sooner (Excel), but it's an inexorable tide.

If your job doesn't require using your brain to make a complex, fuzzy-logic judgement call... I'd start seriously looking for one that does.
This is simply not accurate. The ACA is a deep, deep compromise compared to what liberals wanted, and was in fact largely modeled on the Republican plan crafted by Mitt Romney in Massachusetts. If Obama had crafted Obamacare without any regard for Republican thoughts, we would have government provided universal healthcare. The fact that obstructionist Republicans decided to oppose the bill in the end does not reflect the fact that it was passed after much consultation with the right and is, indeed, a compromise.

An NDA is meaningless if you have no intention of suing the party that violates the NDA.

So you need the legal fees to come up with the NDA and sufficient capital to be able to fund a lawsuit should the other party violate the NDA.

Finally, you need to be big enough that the other company is interested in signing an NDA for the business. For a solo developer, this is unlikely to be true.

I'd like to point out - the increased participation of people in "soft harems" reduce the number of mates available in monogamy relationships. The resource "Exclusivity * attention" (what a lot of people value) is being destroyed by the increasing number of people engaging in polygamy; the number of monogamous mates available is reduced in the sense that it makes it harder for monogamous mates to find each other in a polygamous world. And inequality is increased - "superstars" have 365 mates instead of just 1.
I"m sorry, if you think it's black and white about abortion then you are as close minded as the worst Trump supporters.

Do you think abortion for no reason at all 3 days before birth is the same as abortion within 30 days of pregnancy for the health reason of the mother?

Is it black and white or different shades of gray?

What brings you to the conclusion that global warming could be a hoax? Do you have a reason for not trusting the experts? Who could be interested in spreading the global warming hoax? Wouldn't it be much easier and profitable for them to e.g. sell oil?

These are questions I haven't seen answered so far.

"The researchers urge antivirus vendors to stop intercepting HTTPS altogether, since the products already have access to the local filesystem, browser memory, and content loaded over HTTPS"

They're illegal because what they are doing is against the law. Broken system or not, it's still illegal.

No, but it does make it the law, and breaking it is still illegal. Morals are grey, while law is much more often black and white.

Portability, compatibility. The system should not set environment variables if there is a reasonable default action. Env is intended to be set by the user.

In general, the timezone is set during OS setup, and the system is left in a state where it's up to the applications to figure out what to do. For example, you might configure Apache (yes, I am old, leave me alone) to use a particular timezone. But if Apache senses an env var it may choose to override the configured value with what's in the env var. Or SSH might be configured to pass along all env vars, including TZ, which in all honesty it probably won't even if you tried, but it could, and then the destination server's application has the wrong timezone.

Point is, it's safer not to mess with env vars unless you need to.
