So this tweet here: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/839105996429668352 this 141 characters is misleading? Here's the whole tweet just so we can be clear:

> CIA hacker malware a threat to journalists: infests iPhone, Android bypassing Signal, Confide encryption https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/#PRESS

If the argument is this tweet is misleading, this 14 words of content, a link and a hashtag. If that requires a 5,000+ character response to show how, I'm cool with that argument. I really am. I can see how it is misleading.

Equally, if you can read into those 14 words something misleading, I think a non-misleading interpretation is equally valid. In which case, the argument "the 14 words set the wrong agenda it's no big deal" is a little less compelling, and reads exactly like what I wrote. But what do I know? We are all free to disagree.

The new "App Engine Flexible Environment" seems to support most things, including Python 3 and libraries with C extensions. Are you perhaps talking about the old App Engine environment?
Appears to be C++11, which is contained twice in your list. C++20 doesn't exist yet. C++17 isn't finished either.

It doesn't appear to use new language features, only some library things like std::unordered_map, from what I gathered in a quick look. Most things will probably work just fine with C++03.

How would switching to a merit based immigration system - copying Canada's system - unseat the Bay Area as the startup capital? It won't, at all.

The rate of single parenthood (particularly low income single parenthood) has been exploding in the West, concurrent with rising social welfare spending.

As for the general birthrate, that seems to be affected by income, not the availability of welfare. This is indicated by examples like Hong Kong and Singapore, which have much lower levels of welfare than most developed countries, and much lower birthrates.

It's so far out of line of reason to believe that the US is going to basically end all - or any meaningful portion of - legal immigration, as to be nearly impossible to reply to. Where to start?

The US will switch, if anything, to a merit based system. Canada already uses just such a system. Nobody seems to be outraged about it, or proclaiming the end of Canada because of it. There's far too much emotion in this thread.

Yes, the goal of encoding all human languages into bits is one that's near impossible. Unicode tries, and has broken half-solutions in many places. Lots of heartache everywhere.

This is completely irrelevant to the discussion here. The issue of code points not always mapping to graphemes is only an issue because programmers ignore it. It's a completely solved problem, theoretically speaking. It's necessary to be able to handle many scripts, but it's not something that "breaks" unicode.

Thanks to the other poster for linking some studies. My comment draws from discussion with a leading researcher in the area as well as background awareness of research developments, but I don't know studies off the top of my head without doing a search.

The question of pavement vs soft surfaces is AFAIK open from an injury standpoint. Many people would expect that soft surfaces lower injury rates but I don't think we have evidence to support that.

There's also a difference, which may play a role, between short-term knee problems like runner's knee and underlying damage like osteoarthritis.

What follows is just my opinion/interpretation, but might be helpful. Knees in running are a bit like bearings in a car wheel. They don't generally go bad on their own (unless they are overloaded when not ready), but instead because of imbalanced forces around them, like mis-aligned wheels or tire tread wear. The knee has a lot of outside forces acting on it, mainly from the quadriceps and the IT bands, and if these forces aren't in harmony, they will pull on the knee and affect the way it tracks/moves. Since the knee has to move thousands of times over the course of a single run, a small imbalance can add up and cause injury. So a lot of times the fix lies in stretching or strengthening the quads and IT bands (e.g. I find sometimes that a knot in my quads can cause knee problems in running that go away soon once the knot is worked out).
As a Mac user who loves to game, the situation can be incredibly frustrating. It seems about half the games I want to play are available (and great!) but half either remain PC-only forever, or take an age to get released on Mac — I've been waiting for The Witness for over a year now! Still, if the alternative is adverts in my file explorer, I'd take absolutely anything else instead.
Your daughter will be glad to hear that she's in good company, in noticing the "Vergence-Accommodation conflict"[1] that is unavoidable on two-view stereoscopic displays. You're correct that light field optics don't have this issue -- other options are volumetric displays and "super multi-view" displays (which are, to a certain interpretation, a type of lightfield display).

> and being non-white isn't illegal

You sure about that? Canada is, 78% white, 92% white + asian, only 1.2% hispanic and only 2.9% black. 700 million hispanics in the Americas, and Canada somehow only has ~300,000. The US is around 15%-16% black by comparison, and 20% or more hispanic. Sure sounds like it may be illegal to be non-white in Canada, how else to explain the lack of diversity?

Ask HN: What SaaS products do you use?
Hey HN!

I'd like to discover some new or maybe lesser known SaaS products or services.
What SaaS products do you or your organisation use?

- Why did you choose it? What is the main problem it solves?

- Where there any competitors at the time you had to choose? If so, what did they lack over your choice?

- What is your experience so far?

I am not working for any SaaS related company. I am just curious to see "what's out there" and what services are used for what purpose. Products/services which one does not think of immediately (e.g. uptime monitoring) but still help a lot.
For me, the best known or most important ones are e.g. GitHub, Trello, Slack, Google (e.g. Analytics), AWS, Pingdom. But I'm sure there are a lot more out there which could be helpful.

Thank you for your input and time in advance! :)
Sweden is now the rape capital of the West, with a rape rate twice that of the US. Its violent crime has skyrocketed the last 20 years and looks to keep getting worse. How do you consider that pretty normal?

Further, Europe on average has a higher violent crime rate than the US. Europe's largest nation by population - Russia - has nearly four times the murder rate of the US.

>AirBNB has greatly increased the supply of housing in each city

They've created some supply by opening up some empty rooms and temporarily unused housing to short term renters. But a significant proportion of AirBnB's listings aren't new supply, they're just reallocated from long term rental properties. This will likely have caused hotel prices to drop, but it also causes long term rental prices to rise.

Is this the 3rd or 4th post about some random Google Cloud thing today? I'm losing track.

No news here, just the usual business model of the "cloud": cheap in, expensive out. They rope you in with a fee tier then charge you 9-18x more for egress than you pay for it running your own hardware with IP transit (or going with a VPS provider like Vultr that charges you the correct prices for it).

An interesting idea for a few reasons.

Users don't have to remember passwords, which is a strong benefit, but the user's security is now dependent on the security of their mail provider, or their own security practices in relation to the use of that mail provider, and in all likeliness their smart device.

With the ubiquity of smart devices, this works from a UX point of view and could be really streamlined, but I wonder how much the meme at the top of the article is actually betraying - this is the service provider not wanting to be responsible for your security in relation to their service.

I'm not suggesting that this is unreasonable per se, but the ultimate evolution of this model looks like it could (potentially dangerously) increase the value of a smaller surface area (the smart device) and put a fairly huge onus on the end user understanding and being responsible for their security.

And whilst that seems ostensibly ok, we already know that the weakest link in security is the end user...so this could be putting all your eggs in one basket.

Whats the rationale for banning even one? Were there any actual threats? There were certainly no attacks by immigrants/refugees from those countries.

According to you we should wait for things to reach peak bigotry before reacting. Would you have the same "oh no big deal" reaction if a single Christian country was banned mainly for being christian?
A third perspective:

After living and working in California for 6 years, I was considering a job as third engineer at a startup in another state. I was a bit anxious about side projects, and asked about them after receiving the offer. The response was basically what you said, a pleasant surprise, not scary like Joel warned. But for piece of mind, if I took the job, I would still want to find a lawyer in the new state to review the paperwork, which is a drag.

In the end I chose to remain in CA, and it's nice. It's nice to completely not ever have to worry about this issue at all. So I get why Joel is resentful after working for years in states where unreasonable invention assignment clauses are enforceable.
And these "how to stop Microsoft from pissing you off" tips are really a losing game for users, and Microsoft knows it.

Sure, maybe 0.01% of the market will always stop whatever Microsoft is pushing, but let's face it, most don't have time to learn all the tricks on how to stop all of Microsoft's tracking or advertising and whatnot. Plus, I bet Microsoft will change how this works in a near-future update, so this tip will become invalid. It did something similar for the tracking features that were getting stopped by people and tools early on.

Password-less login is a bit of a weird naming. I'd call it one-time passwords. And then I'd maybe not use email, since this clutters the inbox. Instead something like Google Authenticator or SMS passwords would be a good solution, the latter maybe being a bit expensive for the service provider.

Con: Greylisting.

My primary email uses greylisting to combat spam. This means that if we receive a mail from an unfamiliar mail server, it's getting an error message saying the mail can not be delivered at the moment, and to come back later. Properly configured servers try again several minutes later. Spam bots seldom try again, so it works well.

I can see how greylisting and tokens that expire quickly can be a problem. Particularly if you have multiple servers for outgoing mails, so that the second mail attempt may come from another IP than the first.
What a negative attitude. You seem more interested in preventing others from benefiting than anything else.
