Ok, we removed the errant plural.
Your point that every person in the then India carrying a weapon would have prevented a British Invasion is downright dumb.

The whole idea of current united India came from opposing the British Rule. Before that, India was just numerous bunch of small kingdoms ruling their own tiny part of current India.

British entered India as East India Company, a trading arm of Britain, which I think is wholly independent of Britain in its ability to rule (politically and military wise) the parts of the world where it had trade operations.

You should also note that Britain had America under its control before US gained independence. If we just extend your logic, then you mean, US got independence just because all of its population were carrying a gun, and not because of strong will shown by personalities like Washington to have an independent nation.
And then it could be repealed now. For the same reason the the FCC approach will be.

Do you want swing states to no longer have votes that matter? Or do you wish that the kinds of issues that result in swing states would no longer exist?
Not technically bricked bit needed hard reset. It is pretty interesting that what seems like a false positive integrity signal on your Google account appears related.

I am sure some will hate this but the elephant in the room is embedded devices including network device are incredibly insecure and do not get updates.

Google appears to be taking security and home networking to a new level. But most "techies" know far easier to do insecure then secure. Nobody complains when internet works even if insecure. Seems like a bump in the road for Google in pressing forward with this.

Some will think crazy for a Corp to be basically running my home network but for me I have better things to play with so go at it. But last night glitch needs to be a one time thing.
Well that's factually incorrect. Democratic turn out was down in 2016.
There is significant difference between the press crew that travels with a candidate during the campaign and an official white house press briefing.

>The administration has taken increasing steps in recent weeks and months to isolate the TV network, with some Capitol Hill veterans recalling no such similar steps by any president since Richard Nixon’s retaliation against The New York Times and The Washington Post during Watergate.

>“The point is this, and it really needs to be made: Fox is not just another television network,” said Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), a close Obama ally. “Fox has become the official/semi-official voice for the Republican Party, in opposition to the president. And I think calling them out is the only way to delegitimize them as political propaganda.”

If the only questions that are asked are softballs, then the only clips that CNN, etc, can air from the press conferences are well-prepared, pat answers. Which will tend to make the administration look better, rather than spluttering and indignant.
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/#id16 It is anticipated that there will eventually come a time where the third party ecosystem surrounding Python 3 is sufficiently mature for this recommendation to be updated to suggest that the python symlink refer to python3 rather than python2 .
> this is quite a serious vulnerability in Subversion

I rather believe it's a minor bug, and that once it is fixed, they can actually keep using SHA1 as before, without having the denial of service when somebody tries. Then, for example, if somebody actually tries to put two files with the same SHA1 but different MD5 they can reject the second one before accepting it. Or they if there are two different files with same SHA1 and they accepted both and they store only one content, SVN can still continue to work. So you can't get the second unless you, for example, put it in some archive format first and then put in the SVN, OK, your problem, the SVN would still work for anything else.

In short, it sounds like a denial of service at the moment, but I think that DOS can be avoided without changing the hash algorithm.

However, I'm sure that SVN is not the only source base that was never up to now tested with two different files that have the same SHA1.
Respectfully, this is begging the question :)

You're correct that neural networks don't encode information in the way current digital machines do (i.e. with explicit records/files/etc encoded in bytes). I would disagree that this is the only useful view of information. And certainly, from a Shannon information perspective, the network structure contains information (in the Shannon sense) about the environment or problem for which it was optimized.
I tried searching for the thread you referenced and couldn't find it, but found this one from today on the low 2nd page (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13724990).

It's good that people are becoming aware of the reddit manipulation; if Reddit is being manipulated and HN uses such a similar design, I have to imagine people are trying to manipulate HN.
> It's not like the press secretary is going to answer a question that he/she doesn't want to answer anyway.

Even when the press secretary refuses to answer a question, it is good because it draws attention to the topic at hand and this helps drive public awareness for important issues. Denial of comments is often as revealing as plain answers. Actually it is pretty good when they refuse to comment on something because you can make this a part of a larger article on a subject and then quote their refusal to comment. This helps make pressure on a sensitive topic way after the press event is done and then in the end some answers might be provided if sufficient attention is focused.

This is not the action a strong, secure ruler would take. This signals that they're afraid of what they may ask and how their readers may react.

What does this accomplish that ignoring the reporters in question would not?
Well the flask security architecture (about 10 years of research that culminated in what is now SELinux) was written specifically for Information Assurance by IAD so... Blue Team.

It would've had to be a game-time decision by an individual reporter- I would give those organizations a little time to figure out what they want to do in response. This just happened.

How startups can hack the toll free industry and get a great vanity number

I know this may be a tired question, but why is this falling on the front-page when the points are continuing to increase?
Does anyone actually believe we will "run out of bandwidth" to the point where traffic shaping will become essential?

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).

Think of how much it costs to pay people to manage an incredibly complicated traffic ruleset--not to mention the massively increased CPU overhead--versus a one-time hardware purchase.

What you're talking about is either an ISP that's dying and can't afford to upgrade their shit or a greedy evil monster that simply wants to extract more profit from existing infrastructure in the most obtuse and invasive way possible.
(1) He didn't say that all Mexicans were those things. He said some illegal immigrants have committed rape and deal drugs, which is absolutely true. That isn't to say that Americans don't also do those things, but we have to put up with Americans, good or bad. We don't have to put up with people being here illegally doing those things...we have enough problems with actual citizens.

(2) I'm not sure how that supports racism

(3) I disagree with the travel ban. However, the vast majority of large-scale terrorist attacks - the kind that shake economies and make people scared to travel and shop - have been committed by people from one specific religion who tend to be from very specific parts of the world. It isn't racist to make that factual observation and attempt to at least curb it.

(4) Again, I disagree that I have heard any "hateful rhetoric" from Trump. I've heard a somewhat dire worldview, but he isn't entirely wrong about that. There are many things that are out of whack in this world. If you're referring to his stance on immigration, we have immigration laws that previous Presidents refused to enforce. He just wants to partially enforce them. That isn't "hateful rhetoric" - that's just what Presidents are supposed to do.

I said that I, personally, wouldn't have chosen Bannon for a cabinet postion. Further, Trump isn't "my president". I predicted that both Hillary and Trump would be disasters. We were screwed when the primaries ended. I just don't like to denigrate people without facts, and all I see in the media and in your response is "I'm pissed that my side lost, so I'm going to take everything that Trump or anyone associated with him does or says and interpret it negatively".
That logical fallacy is not equivalent to what I'm saying.

Assume attribute X is overvalued.
Object A has attribute X.
Object A is indicated to be overvalued.

This may not meet the strict requirements of a college logic class as stated, but I still believe it is true.

I'm not making a statement here about exactly what attributes are overvalued (fabric, paint jobs, bus stops or otherwise).

An argument of the article is that "image" is overvalued. I don't think the author did the best job supporting this argument.
AFAIK Level3 a few years back offered AT&T to pay and do the upgrade of the links on the AT&Ts side, which they refused.

At this point its blatant monopolistic anti-consumerism.
This is a huge loss for independent reviewers. Sites like The Wirecutter almost certainly would not have existed like the did without it.

I'll admit that I am surprised youve managed to find an election influenced by fraud, unfortunately the proposed solution of voter id laws dont seem to address this situation.

How would voter id laws prevent an american citizen from voting in a different district?

For example the texas election ID doesnt even include your address.[1]

Duly noted. Is there any way to report vote thrashing, or do you have tools to detect it?
That wasn't the original source, nor was it discussing the same issue. This is a very different issue, which I do think was a case of overstepping by the Obama administration. However, your comment was entirely out of line for what the thread was actually discussing.
It's not that similar. Fox wasn't barred from the briefings. It's just that folks weren't willing to be personally interviewed by them or go on their panel shows. The latter requires active engagement from the establishment, as people have to do a lot of prep work for interviews; the former is just another reporter in the scrum.
As nobody seems to have posted a Java solution yet:

import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.Stream;
import static java.util.Arrays.*;

public class Flatten {

public static void main(String[] args) {
List<Object> nested = asList(1, asList(2, 3), asList(4, asList(5,6)));
List<?> flat = flatten(nested);
System.out.println(nested);
System.out.println(flat);
}

public static List<?> flatten(List<?> nested) {
return nested.stream()
.flatMap(x -> x instanceof List ? flatten((List<?>) x).stream() : Stream.of(x))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
}
}

I would say it's a bit of an odd question if you mainly target Java as it's very uncommon to encounter such a construct there, alone because the type system can't handle it properly.
Bothers me a bit with "32 cores" listed when they are 16 core/32 Thread machines.
Peering and transit links simply shouldn't ever be saturated. If the parties can't come to terms then the government should set the rate at zero (Judgment of Solomon style).
In this case they were more expensive but not more valuable, since it was just the difference between bulk and individual prices. If the company buys every employee the same chocolate bar, it doesn't matter if Brad's cost $0.10 because it was part of a bulk order whereas Jane's cost $1.50 because it was bought at the retail price.
Isn't the idea of network neutrality to prevent discriminating between traffic sources, not quantities? I.e. providers can still charge an arm and a leg for heavy users, and allow 'light' users to pay significantly less (maybe based on some non-linear scale?)
With this and https://quickdraw.withgoogle.com/, whether I want to play super-obscure-trivia or draw stick figures, google has me covered.
So there's "internetworking, peering and transit contract negotiation", etc.

And then there's "Comcast allowed to bundle internal video streaming platform with bandwidth in order to compete against Netflix"

It's completely trivial for the FCC to allow the former and clamp down hard on the latter.

Those are fairly new and most projects do not use them. If a project was started before Bash on Windows was released, it will most likely be built with Visual Studio.
Anything similar to this for Canadians?
I haven't heard about the programming conference effect. That makes sense. Proving it out involves exposing the theory to a wide range of adversarial inputs to demonstrate robustness.

There seems to be a similar trend in mortality with respect to getting treated in a teaching hospital vs nonteaching hospital:

http://health.usnews.com/health-news/patient-advice/articles...

At teaching hospitals treatments, may be very conservative as well (perhaps even more so than at non-teaching hospitals) with residents whose teaching is freshly learned.
Simple process improvements that make Skylake faster will just be "there" -- some code will just be faster with no changes!

For the numerical, AVX stuff -- it should be mostly automatic for you, if you're already using optimized libraries at the core -- MLK, BLAS, that kind of stuff. They'll be transparently upgraded for you -- ideally -- to take care of these things. They normally check what your CPU is at runtime, and pick the fastest implementation among a few different choices it has.

You will need toolchains to support this all, but for the most part that likely won't be a burden unless you want to get your hands dirty and start it yourself -- inevitably, this should all mostly be "pre-canned". Your optimized linear algebra, vector, and math libraries are what will mostly concern themselves with this, not you necessarily. In fact, several of the things already available can probably use these new extensions! I bet if you're using Intel MLK for example, it will probably "magically" get faster on these Skylake machines by using AVX512 automatically.

If you want to understand more: you can always go grab an SSE/AVX reference, check your /proc/cpuinfo, and write a few simple things on your own to get a feel. Your toolchain will definitely support it :)
Never; ISPs are much cleverer than that. As long as neutrality advocates are fighting the last battle ISPs will run circles around them.
I guess I never found the <- syntax odd, because that's all I know. Not using = for assignment kind of makes sense to me, as equals has mathematical connotations.

I always thought there were plenty of options for parallel and high(er) performance computing with R.[1]

Data sets which don't entirely fit in memory can be stored pretty much anywhere and queried. Simplest would be an SQLite database. Formats like Feather[2] and fst[3] are also really useful. There are multiple R interfaces for Redis.[4]

R has a library to interact with the Tensorflow API[5] and many other machine learning services.

"Multiple legacy object semantics" doesn't really mean a lot to me. Knowing nothing else, that's just the way R is, plus I don't think there are that many really strange ways of doing things. Mostly there's a discernable pattern across functions.

Sounding like a fanboy sure, but as I said I just don't know anything else and while Julia sounds nice (speed, way of the future etc) it doesn't have the breadth of library support, stability or community that R does yet and I don't see a compelling reason for me personally to spend time learning Python.

Not saying R is best to the exclusion of all else, but for data analysis, generalised scripting and some web based reports/reactive apps, I can't find a compelling reason to switch, and I guess don't really understand the criticism of the language.

Ya, well the press's treatment of Trump has been a bit one sided. And well out of proportion to his actual comments and deeds.

You might not like Trump, and you might have good reasons but the above is true all the same. And, he is sitting president of the USA right now, irrespective of how you feel about him, his platforms and his supporters.

The amount of vitriol involving Trump is ridiculous. It really is. I'm not saying Trump has good manners (because he doesn't) but the press hasn't been many steps behind in utter nastiness. And they have, in most cases, stopped even pretending to be objective. It's gotten where I can't even watch or read the news anymore. It's just irrational nastiness from one side or the other with zero nuance.

I don't know where this all ends if we stay on the trajectory. Gang warfare and cutting off heads maybe. Seems the veneer of civilization indeed might be pretty thin. Maybe we might have to relearn the hard way about the things we take for granted in the social order.
Interestingly, Electronics are the area where I'd recently noticed Amazon was least competitive.

I stopped by the local Microcenter (which is, incidentally, has a nice assortment of hobby-oriented electronics items for sale) and they beat Amazon's price on a Samsung EVO SSD by over $20. Since they price match, I got a $3 discount on one of the other pieces of hardware I bought that day.

All in all, the time I spent driving there likely make the savings irrelevant, but I was surprised that they were so much more aggressive on the SSD pricing.
Sweet tool recommendation! Bookmarking that :-) Thx
It requires people to do reporting. It does not require them to show up at a press briefing - that doesn't happen in a lot of countries, or if it does, the press is a mouthpiece for the government to say whatever it wants to say whether true or false.

It's certainly helpful for the White House to distill information into an easy-to-digest press briefing. But the AP, Time, and other barred and protesting organizations are certainly capable of reporting on what actually happens rather than what they're told at a press briefing. Reuters described it aptly here:

> Don’t take too dark a view of the reporting environment: It’s an opportunity for us to practice the skills we’ve learned in much tougher places around the world...
This is great. More ammunition to build a case against Trump. This type of behavior doesn't benefit him, but scares a lot of independent voters. He will be in for a rude awakening in the next election cycle
