I don't think it's a bad thing to bring up the negatives of what happens when nationalism is at its worst. I agree that we can't lose sight of our accomplishments -- not all is dire, and the United States is quite far from a Germany scenario as of now.

But a bit of nationalism has crept up in the politics of the United States and several other European countries. Bringing up what happened when nationalism ran wild is relevant.

After all, even with the current policies Trump enacted, it is not impossible that our nation will lose out on being the home of the next Einstein, just because they were born in the wrong place.
Korean doesn't use IDSes, it's a fixed algorithm (not specced by unicode, but a fixed algorithm) for combining jamos into a syllable block. Korean syllable blocks are made up of a fixed set of components.

IDSes let you basically do arbitrary table layout with arbitrary CJK ideographs, which is very very different. With Hangul I can say "display these three jamos in a syllable block", and I have no control over how they get placed in the block -- I just rely on the fact that there's basically one way to do it (for modern korean, archaic text is a bit more complicated and idk how it's done) and the font will do it that way.

With IDS I can say "okay, display these two glyphs side-by-side, place them under this third glyphs, place this aggregate next to another aggregate made up of two side-by-side glyphs, and surround this resulting aggregate with this glyphs". Well, I can't, because I can't say the word display there; IDS is for describing chars that can't be encoded, but isn't supposed to really be rendered. But it could be, and that's a vastly different thing from what existing scripts like Hangul and Indic scripts let you do when it comes to glyph-combining.
One possible issue with the Nordics usurping the US's lead is their Janteloven which can work against entrepreneurship. However, other European countries may be able to take advantage, the UK, DE, FR (to a lesser extent due to regulations).

>WikiLeaks just publishes with minimal editing - any narrative from them is completely separated from the leaks

Wikileaks in king of clickbait and creating false impressions of what data they are and aren't releasing. Just look at their twitter account. There are even reports of withholding entire data sets when it doesn't fit their narrative.

I am on board for the premise of WikiLeaks is trying to do, but they have flatly failed in the execution.
This has been my biggest barrier to going anywhere near it. Support (well, the lack of it) for adwords has been utterly shite.

But anytime this comes up on HN there are a slew of comments saying that support is top notch for GCE, so it's worth an evaluation at least.
And not one of them respects your privacy
Because that's a nonsensical strawman; those things aren't even related.

Personally, I see any employer advertising for a position with stricter requirements than what they'll hire as advertising their own dishonesty. It just makes them look bad.
I've really been wondering about the long term effects of marijuana smoke, in particular the bewildering strains that have been bred in response to market forces and growing constraints over the past 50 years. I have a feeling that it is going to be the Millennial generation's "why didn't anyone tell us!" chronic health problem.

Much like your inclusion of this typo, maybe it's the criteria for the "eventuality" that is problematic. Does the VC industry have a means by which to take imperfect people seriously? Before they're a CEO with $10B in funding, that is.
> The thing that frustrates me the most about Unicode emoji is the astounding number of combining characters. For combining characters in written languages, you can do an NFC normalization and, with moderate success, get a 1 codepoint = 1 grapheme mapping, but "Emoji 2.0" introduced some ridiculous emoji compositions with the ZWJ character.

No, no, no, NO.

Please stop spreading this bit of misinformation. Emoji has not changed this situation.

Hangul is one where NFC won't work well. Yes, we actually already encode all possible modern hangul syllable blocks in NFC form as well, but this ignores characters with double choseongs or double jungseongs that can be found in older text. Which you sometimes see in modern text, actually.

All Indic scripts (well, all scripts derived from Brahmi, so this includes many scripts from Southeast Asia as well like Thai) would have trouble doing the NFC thing.

I am annoyed that the unicode spec introduced more complexity into their algorithms to support Unicode, but this is because they could have achieved mostly the same task by not introducing emoji-specific complexity and reusing features that existing scripts already have and have already been accounted for.

We have a few partner shops across the city that we'll get the car towed to in the case that we can't complete the work at their home. That being said, we've completed thousands of repairs and less than 1% have needed the tow service.

Off rim tire changes and wheel balancing are the only services we offer that are non-mobile. These are 'experiments' for now, but we have them on the site because we have other mobile partners that will bring a large truck with the balancing machine and complete the repair.
Thank you! We're trying to change the way consumers see this service. Our mechanics dress clean, bring you your favourite coffee, and teach you a bit about the repair as well to educate you about the trade. Our customers range from low to high income individuals who just want to save time and effort and spend that time with their family or on their hobbies. We've seen a ton of our customers build strong relationships with our mechanics and request them over and over again. I do agree that working remotely is tougher to do then at a shop and that is why we compensate mechanics 3x more than a shop and provide them the independence of a business owner. We've seen happiness on both sides of the equation so we will keep pushing!
I was wondering the same thing. Inhaling smoke is just not a smart idea if you like oxygen, but that does not implicate cannabis per se as being a causative factor for cardiovascular trouble.
Well done and well explained.
Great thing to share your thoughts in open-source as well.
I wish you the best with your job research, companies like Advance or Octo would be great places for you in France, based on the skills you showed.
Let's get serious for a moment here. Beyond relatively simple home garage fixes, how do you plan on addressing larger issues that a mobile service could never handle. Something that requires a lift for example? Exhausts, transmission, basically anything under the body. Are teams available? How did you handle mounting / balancing with TireSwap?

100% agree. I actually just backed out of a GC implementation this week because their product simply didn't stack up at all compared to their competition. Google has a looong way to go in the cloud space and it starts with their support.
>But, there's a substantial amount of evidence that if you pair up a woman and man in the same situation, the man in contemporary society has a lot of intrinsic advantages.

Are there no advantages women possess in contemporary society?

>He has easier access to relevant education

Women are significantly more likely to go be college educated than men. What "relevant education" are you referring to?

>His applications, work, and words are judged more highly simply for having a male name on them.

I agree! This is a complete embarrassment (especially in STEM fields).

edit: I want to be clear—I am in complete agreement that there are many problems women face in society (especially in the workforce). My grumble is the over-simplification of it. I think we'd be more effective in addressing these problems if we spoke accurately about them. Complaining about the privilege of people based on their DNA is not helpful.

It's ridiculous. I shouldn't have to pay someone to tell them their shit is broken.
"Poaching" is an odd word for it when those people were fleeing for their lives.
Plex allows sharing though. So it's a fine line. It's probably a small enough userbase, and it's personalized sharing as opposed to general p2p sharing. So it's under the radar. If it goes mainstream, Google/Dropbox will be forced to comply by the studios.
Except somehow they managed to completely hide the "make a phone call" button on the web - which is pretty much the most important use case. So, first thing I do is go to the "legacy Google Voice" menu item; it re-loads the page and there's my old friend...
I tried to be neutral, but c'mon, that's ridiculous. Given the vast array of Android hardware and price points, I refuse to believe there are "tons" of hardware problems unique to iPhones. I'd be surprised if the quantity is greater than one.
It's a lot like equality. Same pointer? Same value? p and q point to different nodes in a circular list. Does p equal q?

You and hundreds of thousands of others. US tourism is experiencing the so-called "Trump slump" right now. New York city downgraded its estimate of international tourists for this year by 700,000.
I gave up on most Google instant messaging some years ago when the stories appeared about how enabling Hangouts was somewhat of a one-way process, with many people complaining about their existing functionality being hosed in one or another fashion. (E.g. Hangouts wants to take over SMS responsibilities, but borks them.)

Google Voice languished, with message forwarding sometimes taking many minutes or even a few hours. Then this year, a new Voice push of some sort was announced, and now message forwarding is mostly back to nearly instantaneous.

One fucking product, Google. That works. Fine, add new functionality to it, but don't make me keep chasing down and and installing new apps, wondering whether and how this integrates with what I already have and what is going to get hosed. (By the way, do you guys ever try to use your public help pages, yourself? Hahaha...)

So, that little sidebar in Gmail? I'll still use that, when it happens to work and to be convenient. I recently used Hangouts -- setting up an entire account under my domain for the other party -- in a case where Skype had proved to be crap in terms of quality and holding the connection (what they typically use, and what I've refused to use since moving to a new machine).

That's about it, for my current Google IM-ish experience.

Gmail, I use. Calendar, I use. Docs, I use. They change -- I can keep up with this.

Pick a name, and a front door, and leave that the fuck alone. Your schizophrenic branding -- and sometimes dueling functionality -- is not doing you any good, here.

Cheers.

I'm sure all browser designers out there would love it if we could switch JS over to UTF8, or in general have any system where JS uses a well formed encoding when it comes to unicode. We can't, because of backwards compatability.
One thought that occurred as I read this: stress is a known cause of stroke/ heart attack. Perhaps stress-prone individuals seek out cannabis to handle it. Thus, the cannabis use and heart disease are correlated, but not caused by each other.

Perhaps the paper addresses this, the article did not.

It seems this article was written using only the press release about this.[0] The paper would actually provide support for these claims, making it fit for actually reporting on. But the paper will not be released until March 18. So it seems no critical thought was put into the article. My expectation is that journalists report on news once it has been verified, or at least clearly communicating this lack of fact-checking.

I think it's a classic case of clickbait headline and low-effort journalism. If they didn't report on this now, some other news outlet (with a lower standard for news) would, and then by the time it was verified, it would be "old news". No ad revenue for you.

Nobody is actually enabled to have a discussion about this potential issue because this reporting is so shoddy. The headline parrots the claim made by the researcher with no supporting evidence. By the time the facts come out, the headline has already made its way through the media. So now, we never have a productive conversation about it, and consumers walk away misinformed at best.

They don't hire remote? I remember they have a strong bias to recruit for Bay Area companies but I remember being asked if I'm looking for remote work too. So maybe they do.

"Vitality default swaps?" ;-) I'm sure someone on Wall Street is already working on it.
Ya no kidding. This free tier is actually pretty generous. I imagine they found that these limits enables most people to start on GCE for free and only start paying when things become real. I do wonder, however, how much that long tail will cost them. 1GB storage / day can quickly add up, for example.
I do not deny that she was an instigator. In fact, I nearly explicitly mentioned it by using the word belligerent.

I contend that it's irrelevant.

If some guy on the street is calling me ugly, fat, or stupid and I walk to him and clock him in the jaw, it's still assault and I would still be charged. The same should apply to jail guards.
I think some of it is a branding fail on Mattermost's part (or a branding win on Slack's). Case in point - I was recently in talks with a non-tech company who are HUGE users of freemium Slack. They don't want to actually spend money on it, but they have a person whose (partial) job description is to monitor all 15+ Slack channels for 'anything that looks important, and archive the conversation wholesale into the company wiki'. If they paid for Slack, their annual cost would be $10k+. I proposed to build them a Mattermost server for a flat rate of $5k and they're responsible for the hosting costs (~$20/mo for a VM somewhere). For a small recurring fee I would handle regular updates, etc, to the server. CEO's response was "Nope, we like Slack", with no further explanation or elaboration. The rest of the teams had been demo'd on Mattermost, agreed it did All The Things(tm), agreed it was the superior solution because then Jim in shipping wasn't tasked with copy/pasting convos into the wiki, etc, but in the words of the CFO, "<CEO> is irrationally attached to being a 'Slack user'". Not so much that they'd be willing to pay money for it though.

tl; dr - people are strange.
I couldn't find it.
There are a few ways! For example when the user signs in, you could assign them a random chat room https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/auth-events lets you trigger on initial sign in.

You can also hook up to regular HTTP triggers, and make it like an API call: https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/http-events
Yes, but it's somewhat informal and only used in writing (it sounds a bit weird if you say it out loud).
The area bordered by US 101, Willow Road and the Union Pacific tracks is an exception. However, the rest of EMP makes Vancouver's Downtown Eastside or even the neighbourhood of Whalley in Surrey look like the most peaceful, crime-free utopia that has ever existed. At least we don't have Nortenos and Surenos blowing each others' heads off like in adjacent East Palo Alto.
This is spot on. TONS of people are using Slack in their personal lives because it's a good chat app. It doesn't matter if it was originally built to support business teams.

Server side or client side? If client side, the only vuln that matters is (DOM) XSS, is it the case? If not, that's not worth patching.
Sorry for repeating myself, but why bring gender into it at all?

If we have collectively decided that helping people with low self-confidence is a good thing, why not leave it at that?

If more women than men get helped in the process, then I'm fine with that.
Seems like tons of nice changes.

Google Cloud Shell: Not sure that was free before? Looks like an excellent place to run ansible playbooks from. I could swear I had thought that before, but rejected it due to costs.

They assume the job requirements are real expectations. That is not uncertainity, that is taking people by their word.

I would also point out that many good programmers don't like uncertainity (notably those with asperger), it is one of few jobs where it is a good thing. Not implying they are all rock stars, just that un certainty here is red herring.
I think the point that is really crying out to be made is that college campuses and the backs of ambulances/squad cars are two very biased sets of places to attempt to collect a representative sample of the immigrant population.

In fact, if you were to collect samples of natural born American citizens in the same two sets of places you'd reach the exact same biased conclusions about Americans.

Seconded. I don't use LinkedIn or recruiters. When I was looking, I was applying manually to several companies, and setting up phone screens and so on was very exhausting and timing things was complicated. Triplebyte allowed me to combine the primary stages for a couple of companies and helped a lot with prep.

Being fixed width is not an advantage. Code points aren't a very useful unit of text outside of the implementation of algorithms defined by unicode. All of these algorithms generally require iteration anyway. O(1) code point indexing is nearly useless.

I would suggest you check out Discord, which works well for both the team and individual use cases in one user interface. The way they accomplish this is by having "Friends" (a familiar analogy for anyone who has used chat applications from the 2000s and current social media) as well as "Servers", which are akin to teams.

Joining servers is very easy, creating servers - they are perhaps inaccurately named - is instantaneous, and each server can contain groups, voice and text channels. Adding friends is easy, and from the friends menu it's easy to message or begin a call with anyone and create ad hoc group chats and calls.

Perhaps your belief that they are entirely different problems and necessitate different solutions is based in the fact that they the market has thus far assumed that to be true.
