What number is "a reasonable amount?"

Seems that it wasn't that they were taking money off the table it was how it was structured.
> I'm not sure how we can square, "we are neutral", "we are optimizing for impact", "our goal is to create conflict within the government".

I don't see any real conflict here.

> There are even reports of withholding entire data sets when it doesn't fit their narrative.

I highly doubt that's true simply because nothing prevents a leaker from going to another source and saying so if they're refusing to publish. We'd certainly hear about it if it were.

> I am on board for the premise of WikiLeaks is trying to do, but they have flatly failed in the execution.

I think that's more your personal political opinions showing than anything to do with WL's actions. While they've had slips, overall they've been very successful. The recent CIA leak and their handling of it so far is an excellent demonstration of this.

I think inhaling smoke is the key here. Do nicotine patches increase risk of heart disease and stroke?

I imagine wood smoke is full of carcinogens too. Same with plastic.

We were just not built to inhale smoke chronically.

Phones are a luxury, what percentage of the poor demographic do you think can afford a smartphone? Much less, know how to operate something they've never had experience with.
I appreciate your comment. I also wanted to mention the "feminine" thing but feared it would look overly sensitive. Personally I don't think confidence is a masculine or feminine quality at all.

why doesn't it make it invalid? there are many situations where considering the mean is so deeply distorting as to make any conclusions drawn from it either unreasonable or outright false.

I think calls for greater clarity and attention to detail when doing data analysis are well-considered and we should be _deeply suspect_ of claims made based on statistical aggregates, and particularly the mean average which is one of the most distorting and lossy aggregates there is.
I'd like to see some practical examples of exploited vulnerabilities in client side JS libraries. I always think of everything client side as happening in a context of total insecurity- in the sense that I make no assumptions of what the client will do in relation to the server.

Is this more about libraries that expose the client to attacks from code on other sites?

Perhaps I'm complacent about this but I often think of this as the responsibility of the browser...
I've definitely had mixed experiences with AirBnB. When it's genuinely someone renting a spare room on the side, it tends to be a neat experience; I had several of those traveling in Australia solo and it was a good way to get to know the area. I also had positive experiences in Rome and LA with similar arrangements.

When it's just landlords short-term renting a furnished apartment on the side, the experience tends to be subpar. The worst experience I had was in Chicago, when it was clearly a condo owner breaking the terms of the HOA for their building--they told us to say that we were 'just visiting' the occupants of the apartment, not to unlock the door if an actual resident was nearby, etc. The general feeling of "sneaking around" was unpleasant.

It's a mixed bag--the original idea of home sharing is a great experience, but clearly not the most profitable aspect of their business. I wonder if they could figure out ways to support that better...
My main reason was type safety; getting early feedback from the compiler is really valuable to me.

"...when marijuana use was illegal in most states."

"It identified 316,000 patients - 1.5 per cent - where marijuana use was diagnosed in the notes."

I'm not a researcher but I would suspect there are massive holes in this research. How many of these people would not voluntarily reveal MJ usage given it's illegality or stigma. The amount of MJ usage/duration during the patient's lifetime etc is also a huge factor.

I've gone through exactly the same discovery process when implementing faux stamps (something between images and Emoji) in my xmpp app yesterday.

My idea was to increase the font size of a message that only consists of Emoji, depending on the number of Emoji in the message, like this:

The code turned out more complex than first expected, mirroring the same problems OP encountered:

> Chat with a cop, ambulance driver, or immigration officer from a sanctuary city if you really want to "get" it.

Cities don't have immigration officers (especially sanctuary cities, which are cities that refuse to have their law enforcement act as immigration enforcers for the federal government.)

And local law enforcement is usually the biggest proponent of sanctuary city policies, because their job is made vastly more difficult when immigrant communities see them as immigration enforcers; cooperation with law enforcement in those communities (and not just by undocumented immigrants or even just non-citizens in those communities) drops radically when they are sending in that light.
Is there a way to route hangout messages to Google Voice?
Does anybody know what happens when an add-on augmented e-mail is opened outside of Gmail (or, presumably, Inbox)?

There is a huge difference between:

Google is enhancing e-mail in a way that makes e-mail better for everybody.

and

Google is migrating GMail to be another walled garden collaborative workflow tool that happens to have a very good e-mail client build in.
You are of course accepting completely that a belligerent drunk woman had sufficient unbiased recall to fairly assess the ordering and significance of events. If you're a belligerent drunk, its usually because you believe everyone is being belligerent with you, regardless of whether they are or are not. If drunk people had good powers of decision making and memory, we'd allow them to drive.
> There isn't any such thing as "characters" in code. In documentation when they say "characters" usually they mean bytes, code units or code points. Almost never do they mean graphemes, which is intuitively what people think they mean. The bottom line is two-fold: (A) always understand what is meant in documentation by "length in characters",

This is because languages usually have a built in char type.

> don't try to use graphemes as your unit of length, it won't work in practice.

Swift does this and it's a really good thing. Everything is in graphemes by default -- char segmentation, indexing, length, etc.

There are way too many problems caused by programmers interpreting "code point" as a segmentable unit of text and breaking so many other scripts, not to mention emoji.

I knew about the free tier, but until I saw this page I had never really thought about all the free tier offerings together.

We live in a really cool time to be programmers. 5 years ago most of the services on that page were unimaginable to the average dev. Today they're not only easy to deploy but free for lightweight usage. Makes me really excited to build things over the next few years.
Agree. And even vaporizing the plant would have all sorts of chemicals beyond THC and CBD. A better study would test synthetic THC and CBD, either oral or vaporized.

I did refer to the data, and that article gives about the same numbers. FERC and EIA are 'sibling' components of the Department of Energy, I suspect EIA's information on new generation comes directly from FERC.

The article you link shows that wind and solar combined add up to a bit less than twice natural gas. This is because, as I said, the three dominant forms of new production (natural gas, wind, solar) added up to about one third each, with natural gas being the largest portion.
> Instead of being polite and reasonable I am now combative and uncooperative in any encounter.

Just remember: they can get away with anything. It's their word against yours, and they will always win. If you are lucky enough to have any evidence against them, it will just get lost eventually (your case in point).

> They can taser me all they want, Ill just use it as a public campaign against them.

No one in a position to do anything about it will listen. You'll just be adding insult to your injury.

When encountering law enforcement, it's best just to "yes sir"/"no sir" them, and hope you don't come out of it with a charge, or worse. Every question they ask you is an attempt to get you to incriminate yourself. They are not there to help you. It's in your best interest to do everything you can to end the encounter as soon as possible.
my thought was that "where marijuana use was diagnosed in the notes" means the patient volunteered that information, which they likely wouldn't do unless they were moderate/heavy users. But it's just too much to guess about without seeing the detailed methodology.
> Your support for gender equality in tech should not depend on how inclusive and understanding feminists are

who appointed you the gatekeeper of what another thinking, feeling human being ought to think or feel?

maybe you should interpret this as a call to introspect certain trends in feminist politics and communication strategies. if someone tells you "I am feeling alienated because of X" rather than thought-police that person and tell them "no you're wrong and you WILL feel the way I tell you to feel" perhaps it would be of greater utility to consider what the other person is telling you.

I'm really interested in hearing how many interviews take place in Vancouver for the intended reason (as opposed to, for example, personal protest).
The thing is that they have less expectations than civilians in many cases. If someone was restrained and I tazed them three times I would be arrested immediately.

I did read the article. Maybe I'm using a loose definition of "confidence" but it still all comes down to confidence. Applying to a job when you don't strictly meet the guidelines is a form of confidence.

Side note: I noticed the article was quoting tired old tropes like "women are socialised to follow the rules", without evidence.
I've heard it said that to kick an addiction, you have to achieve a mental change where you stop wanting the thing you're addicted to. Consider someone who is addicted to overeating. He could go on a fast for a while, as long as he has the willpower, but eventually the willpower is going to run out and he's going to cheat. By contrast, if he were to make a positive decision to become an athlete, or a bodybuilder or model or something, he would be able to control his diet not as a strenuous act of self-deprivation but because he now sees himself differently, as someone with a mission, and snacking starts to seem really irritating to him.

So my unsolicited advice is that you need to come up with a way to see yourself differently. Maybe as a man of faith. Maybe as a mountain climber or something. Consider giving yourself a mission that will get you the heck out of your apartment and take up all your free time, so that your addiction becomes an annoyance that you won't want to bother with.

And good luck!

Cloud Dataprep – visually explore, clean, and prepare data for analysis
It sounds like you guys are on the right track, but small input -- the coffee bit is somewhat campy. I think it's kind of unnecessary burden on your mechanics that will be tough to uphold as you scale. Additionally, speaking from personal needs, I couldn't care less if I got coffee -- I just want a professional mechanic who won't fleece me. Stick to making that your value prop, and I think both sides of the marketplace (techs, and consumers) will be better off for it.
This! And I hope that they fix the "calling now" issue. I still don't get why they did not make a small desktop app and voice only calling to destroy Skype. So much potential wasted.
This is most definitely not a solved problem, because graphemes (visual symbols) are a poor way to deal with unicode in the real world.

What do you think how text editing controls work? You cursor moves one grapheme cluster at a time, selections start and end at grapheme cluster boundaries, and pressing backspace once deletes the last grapheme cluster even if it took you several key strokes to enter. Grapheme cluster are obviously useful and certainly not a poor way to deal with Unicode in the real world.

Sure, grapheme clusters are neither the most common way to talk about strings, nor are they the most useful one in all situations, but nobody claimed that. If you have to allocate storage, you of course use the size in bytes after encoding. If you translate between encodings, you may want to look at code points. The right tool for the job, and sometimes the right tool is grapheme clusters.

There isn't any such thing as "characters" in code.

Sure, there is. Actually characters exist only in code, they are not used in any field dealing with written language besides computing. A character is the smallest unit of text a computer system can address.
Wow, you are the only commentator in this thread to mention the ObamaPhone; I guess most HN readers here don't interact with less well off society. I know a fair few people that have one and love them. The program, from my anecdata, really does help out the less well off get a job, find information and opportunities, and generally interact with the larger world. Yes, some are just wackos and lazy, but from my view of the world, the taxes that are used via Obamaphones are very out weighed by the increased taxes from when people get stable jobs through the program. If the world is becoming increasingly automated, networked, wired, whatever, then a smartphone is the 0th step in getting people at least up to date with today's zeitgeist.

First of all, thanks for InboxSDK!

Looking at it now, it's actually mostly InboxSDK extensions that are conflicting with Gmelius and some other custom extensions.

Curious to see if Streak will switch to this new official way, although it seems that a lot of the stuff you're doing won't be available to Add-ons.
Good news. More competition the better.
Since I learned the lesson, there has probably been at least 7 different times in my life, that a rule/qualification was bent or changed that benefited me, because I simply tried for it.

If you are "the wrong kind of person," the rules are much less likely to bend for you. If you are the wrong skin color, wrong gender, wrong religion, whatever, going for it can get the rules thrown in your face while everyone accuses you of being an asshole who is trying to break the rules while, at the exact same time, they make exceptions for "the right kind of people."

So, maybe consider that is what a lot of women are complaining about when they decry male privilege.

> "UTF-32" which has the advantage of being fixed width

It's fixed width for now. It can not hold all the current available code-points, so it will probably have the same fate as UTF-16 (but it will probably take a long time).

I'd stay away from it.
Nicotine is a known stimulant and vasoconstrictor so one could imagine that it's not great for long term cardiovascular health. That said, it seems consensus is that it's better than smoking [1] (quite old I know).
