> Swedens tiny population of 10 million can't handle immigration of tens of thousands?

Depends how you define "handle". If by "handle" you mean "avoid cultural erasure", then maybe not.

I'd also like to point out that it's tens of thousands per year. There are almost 100,000 Syrians in Sweden.

> Upwards mobility will happen

On what do you base this claim? Has upward mobility happened in the countries from which these refugees originate?
Mull Meets Rust: Implementing Mutation Testing System for Rust
I doubt any reviewer makes a perfect recommendation for a particular person. But honestly, for most things, Wirecutter, Cooks Illustrated, Consumer Reports (though don't use this much any longer), etc. will almost always get me to a good to very good choice quickly. And they're all transparent about their methodology and reasoning.

No one has time to do all their research from scratch themselves. (And I have zero interest in doing so.)

Yes. Something like:

We would send a request off to multiple services, wait for all the responses and then the front end would sometimes need all of the lists and other times need it flatten.

How would I do it?

I completely agree with your opinion on the FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) crowd being the same boat. It's not a great feeling to have your business built on someone else's platform and I'm doing everything I can at the moment to reduce our reliance on Amazon.

I'm surprised that you felt that selling things via FBA is scammy. I have a full-time job but I also own a business that (currently) grosses about $150K on Amazon. I can honestly say that I don't feel like we've out-manipulated anyone or have done anything but create a very competitive product that we're able to sell at a competitive price.

I agree that it quickly turns into a very painful race to the bottom when dozens of vendors are selling variations of the thing (e.g. silicone grill gloves or meat claws), but it's completely different when you're able to take the time to create a really great product. It's been a rewarding experience; I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind answering the occasional support email and is completely committed to excellent customer service.
I haven't read their paper, but the usual way to test the accuracy of your N-body simulation is to check to see how well energy is conserved. If your simulation is going crazy due to numerical errors, this will be reflected in the energy changing wildly. If the change in energy is very small, it is likely that the chaos you're seeing is real.
You mean most of the mainstream, genpurpose languages in usage today which were initially designed 20-50 years ago. And those which don't actively look for opportunities to shoot themselves in the face with sidestepping changes to break the language? Then no, not that consensus.

But if you were to find any sensible designer of new language with skyrocketing, runaway popularity- such as Rob Pike, they'll tell you differently. Or even Guido van Rossum, if he were to be honest with you. While Pike's colleagues at Bell Labs like Dennis Ritchie may not have designed C this way for obvious reasons, they did design Go that way.

There's two types of situation on that one, though - one where the unbranded product is being sold through Amazon but still comes as un branded product from China.

The other is the product is being sold through Amazon (often shipping from the US) and either unbranded or "re-branded" by a more... reputable entity.

In the second scenario, it is absolutely worth it to me to purchase from Amazon. I get my product faster (since it's shipping from the US) and I'm not stuck holding the bag if it turns out to be a dud.

> Traffic shaping of saturated links sounds like a waste of time and resources when it's so much easier to just upgrade the hardware. It's cheaper too! It also happens to be the fucking purpose of the ISP (to provide adequate bandwidth for their customers).

Google Fiber got to a couple of nearby communities before they put the brakes on.

I'm left hoping that's close enough to branch out wireless service in short order.

Otherwise, I'm left screwed, between an AT&T that refuses to upgrade its local network (and it's a dense, accessible, suburban neighborhood -- hardly the boonies), and a Comcast that has doubled its rates for basically the same service. Both with caps that will quickly look increasingly ridiculous in the face of the wider world of data transfer.

This is one reason why I go out of my way to avoid floats and instead use Decimal whenever I need to support non-integral numbers.

(and from playing around with Perl 6, I love how decimal literals are of type Rat instead of Num; I wish Python decided to do something similar in Python 3)

Edit in response to Zed's question, in 3.6 I always just do:

print(f'{foo:.2f}')

Works with Decimals and floats.

Netflix Have Launched an Open Source Security Tool Called Stethoscope
First, portage and ports are OS-supplied mechanism for installing software.
They are nothing like pip or gems or npm, which only can install things
written in their respective languages of choice and fail miserably for modules
touching any library external to them (unless you manually ensure the
library's and compiler toolchain's presence, that is).

Second, ports and portage have support for and networks of mirror servers that
keep copies of software available through these packaging systems. It's
trivial to switch if one of the mirrors goes down. For pip, gems, or npm you
need to plan ahead for the problems and deploy your own package cache, from
what I know.

Third, I was using Gentoo with one of these "battle tested systems that work
well in production" for several years. It was doable, but it wasn't pretty,
could lead to breaking software after updating some random deep dependency
(if it was recompiled with different flags), and generally required more work
and attention than APT would, all that for very little gain (if any gain at
all). Oh, and it ended up working with binary packages, after all, I just
needed to compile them myself instead of having a half an hour downtime of
production MySQL because it needed to get compiled (which could fail, leaving
me with no working database installed).

Ask HN: What steps can one take to increase security and privacy online?

I currently use 1Password, have 2FA enabled on all available sites, use a VPN when using unsecured WiFi, and have attempted to disable tracking on my Google accounts. What else can I do? I don't mind doing a lot of legwork! I just want peace of mind in 10, 20, or 50 years...
It's better than fully self-managing it, but GKE is still less managed than I'd personally like. I just want to submit containers as jobs to be executed in "the cloud", with the cloud provider figuring out the details of where they get executed. On GKE, have to create a cluster in the cloud, then submit your jobs to your cluster, and set up logic to manage provisioning/resizing/etc., rather than just being able to submit your jobs to a giant abstracted cluster managed by Google. Joyent's Triton container service basically does that, so it's possible.
I've started ordering two (or more) of everything I buy from Aliexpress, just in case one is damaged in shipping, lost, or whatever. A lot of times both items end up being fine and I give one to a friend. Sometimes I take one apart to see how it works.

What is really interesting is that a lot of things that appear identical on AliExpress are actually fairly different when you open them up. It's weird, because there is innovation going on, but they go out of their way to hide it.

What really bothers me is that Amazon allows people to sell things that are shipped from China without making it blatantly obvious it is coming from China. I'm not saying it's hidden, but I use Amazon because I want stuff in a few days. If I wanted to wait six weeks I'd order from Aliexpress.

There is cyg-get:

Trump's tactic is clear as it is effective. He behaves exactly as ridiculously as the press makes him out to. The press look like they are exaggerating and making him look bad because if they report true facts, those true facts are so ridiculous that people assume they are the product of bias.

Trump really did say he wanted to murder the children of terrorists. He really did say the press is the enemy of the American people. He really did trash American war heroes who were captured in combat. Et cetera, ad nauseum.

How do you write a story about that without making it seem biased? Nobody would believe he said those things. It must be an exaggeration. It must be unfair reporting. And look, that's what he's claiming. That must be it.

But you can actually watch him speak and it's horrifying. What will it take for people to accept he's an actual threat to the country? Will he have to grow a tiny mustache before you believe he's Hitler-in-wait? He'll just muddy the waters by explicitly lying and blame media bias no matter how bad the things really are.

Maybe in 4 years when we have an election and he refuses to step down because the election was illegitimate -- he actually won, the media lied about the vote totals, millions of illegal voters tipped the scales -- after having replaced the entire national security/military apparatus with rabid loyalists.

Perhaps a terrorist attack will happen and he'll execute a power grab, declare the courts irrelevant or martial law during these trying times where national security is the utmost concern.

Maybe then people will accept it. Or maybe they'll say "how do we know? There must be something to what he's saying, I'm sure he's not really that sinister. The media is biased too, we had better listen to both sides I'm sure the truth is somewhere in the middle. "
This would be really scary if it was relatively eminent, but its like so far away that we would have 5th dimensional technology if we survived as a species by then and could slip into different parallel dimensions where issues don't happen or way more likely before would have already populated many exoplanets rendering this not even an issue.

5 Social Media Marketing Fundamentals  You Need to Revisit
Obama had tried to do the same thing with Fox News.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/president-obamas-feud-with-fox-n...

The difference in this case is how wildly inaccurate their reporting has been. Nearly everyday they're misrepresenting what President Trump has said, and sometimes they outright lie. It borders on hysteria. Which is ridiculous, because if they didn't ratchet everything up to 11, they could make serious points against Trump.

For instance in the latest Sweden nontroversy, Trump misspoke when he tried to make reference to a report he saw on the Tucker Carlson show. Instead of having articles that would point out that a President should speak more clearly and that we expect more from him, instead they stated that he made up a terror attack! Really?! Instead of making a point that we could all agree with, they made themselves look bad to those of us who are non-partisans.
Absolutely, you basically get good at what you do, and conversely you don't get good and what you do not do.
What makes things difficult is that the legitimacy of corporate media was seriously in question before Trump was elected. There seems to have been massive collusion between the mainstream media & the DNC to keep Bernie Sanders a fringe candidate. And it's tough to say "the mainstream media is rigged, but a president saying so openly is bad."

Everything You Need to Know About the Cloudflare “Cloud Bleed” Bug
I played Action Quake 2 that way, for about a year. I was in a clan, all of that nonsense, and you're absolutely right. We literally spent hours training each other various tricks we'd found, virtually all of which exploited the geometry of a map, or strafe-running/jumping. We were at a level filled with young, skilled players... we wanted an edge.

It's exactly the same in sports... at least swimming and fencing, in my experience. In both cases (as with games) I realized that the fanaticism and total dedication required wasn't for me. I still enjoy games, I still enjoy swimming and fencing, but I'm done with the treadmill... it's only for the very young, or athletes of some description.
