A presidential veto is a big deal, especially going against his own party whose support will be critical for getting anything done (or staving off those pesky ethics investigations).

I don't think Thiel has that kind of juice. Maybe Bannon does but it really seems like this would have to be an issue he cares deeply about personally, and it's hard to think of one where there's much space between the president and the modern GOP.

If you knew the first thing about economics, you would know that the natural, regulation-free state of ISPs is for them to merge together into a single company the way that oil companies merged together to form Standard Oil at the turn of the 20th century. In that scenario, what you would get is the choice of one product, and you would pay an unreasonable amount of money for it.

Of course, since you don't know the first thing about economics, what we're treated to instead is some false ideological platitudes about the free market.

The irony of course being that "being that" in the way you've used it is one of the examples of "incorrect English" given by the op. And you're using it to support the idea that these things are important...

You have some unorthodox ideas about how language came into being.
Hum, to be honest, I don't like the Apple development flow. I don't like the Apple developer center, I don't like the Certificates, etc etc. In my case, I need to use XCode to find out the right places to link the react-native lib to my project...
Absolutely right. Though in India we have been charging the regular call center model for our cloud call center, http://cloudagent.in, we knew the model will not continue for long, especially in the US. So for our US product getkookoo.com we did away with the per agent pricing. We went with a zero agent rental and fixed monthly cost model with free minutes included[1].

Perhaps I should clarify that I am not discouraging the use of VPNs, but I am encouraging more involvement in the policy process. Indirectly, I guess I am encouraging a better understanding about the intricacies of VPN services.

A hybrid approach as you suggest seems agreeable to me.
Just because "Particles are epiphenomena arising from fields." You are completely missing the point that the bumps in the field are what we call particles. There can be distances between the bumps/particles and that means that the bumps are "separated", because it matters whether the bumps are next to each other or far away... This is what we mean by separation. No one is saying the field itself doesn't fill all of space (which it does)

Furthermore you can still speak of particles just as you can speak of atoms, because it's useful to call the bumps something other than bumps all the time.
“Were you ever fired or terminated?” “What was the reason leaving your last job?
How would I explain this in both cases -- on an application and on an interview.

The story is below.

Hopefully I can keep it short and to the point…

[business] is a placeholder for the type of equipment the company manufactured... and there is little competition in the market, so blanking it out is for my privacy.

In summary, I was on a call with [business] Owner -- he wanted me to make changes to two locations. The call center manager (she) told my team and I to finish my call/notes and go to lunch.

After my notes were submitted, I called back the customer and told him everything was done. The call center manager saw me on the phone and was mad.

She talked to me about it, said it was insubordination because I was told not to take another call and head to lunch, but instead was on the phone. I told her that after I submitted my notes, I was updating the customer on the call and telling him the work has been finished; but now he wants me to do something else… I politely said “I know we’re busy, and I’m okay without taking lunch today because we’ve done that in the past when we were busy like this…” She told me to tell my team leader to have someone else do it and go to lunch.

I gave her no problem and went to lunch. I came back and did more work than most technicians did all day.
Sometimes we would skip lunches when things were busy to avoid staying later as this is how some of us would work before she was hired. If we take an hour lunch, we stay an hour late. If we didn’t take an hour lunch, we could leave on-time. This is how it was before.

We always had close and private conversations and never had anything against each other. Her and I were probably the closest during her first few weeks hired.
That day after lunch, I was terminated.
here we go again, at some point google "deprecated" code.google.com which was great for developers in china because of the gfw. now they're going back to a google source control service, this means that i have to develop with a vpn which is a simple pain in the ass.

Can't agree more with the Bose QC35 suggestion. My team of 8 went from 0 users to 5 users in under three months. Absolutely amazing.
The perspective is simply that it isn't the job of the media to say what's right or wrong, just to report what happened. They're not saying "these aren't terrorist attacks" only that the word "terrorist" is editorializing, which isn't their job.

My perspective is that it's unclear to me what you gain by describing something as a "terrorist attack" as opposed to just an "attack." I'll make up my own mind whether it's a terrorist attack or not.

I find Reuters fairly unbiased, although at the end of the day individual editors and reporters all have individual biases. If you have a recommendation for a less biased news source than Reuters please share.
Your definitions are not the common ones. Dropping the Linux from the full name Linux Containers doesn't make it a different fundamental. Containers, Zones and Jails are all OS layer virtualisation :https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating-system-level_virtu... . The style of application packaging that came with Docker compliments OS virt but the prior art demonstrates that it is its own innovation. "Docker will do to apt what apt did to tar"

1,2 are consequences of semi-socialist policies. Also, coffee breaks?

On the other hand, most Swedes will pay between 49 and 60 per cent through a combination of local government and state income tax. No thanks.

If they're underappreciated, they can switch jobs.
If they're overworked, its by choice or a consequence of bad decision making.

And if some people fail to take advantage of that, its not the system's fault.

Specifically how? The only reason I don't use it is that Facebook has all of the users.

Hence my argument: what is the barest "barely" that can keep you afloat?

8 acres is your fair share of Earth. Here's a $20 bag of assorted nutritious seeds. (If you're really uptight about this, I'll throw in a $40 sack of rice as enough to get you to first harvest.) There we have the stark reality of "barely keeps you afloat" and "cannot really afford to lose": subsistence farming. Harsh as it sounds, that's the real-world baseline.

Capitalism gives you the option of doing something other than self-sufficient farming. You can put in the same effort, with the equivalent "cannot really afford to lose" work-or-starve option, and leverage the available contract - or not. The notion that you're somehow not "free" to accept or reject the contract (if living at that bare edge of survival) is practically no different than subsistence farming.

I acknowledge that "freedom" seems rather moot at that level, but so long as the effort required is little different from the effort for subsistence farming, that's the hard reality of being a human living on Earth. If you're accepting the contract because of "work or starve" in the context of effort I'm harping on, and you have the liberty to pick between whatever contracts are available ("start digging & planting" always being one) then yes that's "freedom". If you're compelled under threat of abuse/injury/death to work for a disproportionately meager return, and/or literally confined with no options, then that is an immoral denial of the "freedom" I'm referring to.

To wit: the natural law of "produce or starve" is not to be confused with, nor equated to, compulsory hard labor within incarceration sustained with a scant moldy loaf.

(I'm writing this much about the subject because I'm trying to sort thru & refine ideas, bouncing 'em off HN for insight.)
Making a good diff algorithm
As much fun as it is to pile on Uber these days these are employee resource groups, created by and run by the employees. I've had these at lots of places I've worked, for women, LGBTQ, etc and they're mainly a mailing list, maybe a slack room these days, and maybe a monthly meeting/meetup. This is not some huge corporate racist conspiracy.
You've probably done some churn analysis at this point -- do you know what % is passive churn (i.e. payment-related) versus customers who are explicitly canceling?

I'd consider spreadsheeting the biggest leaks and getting super aggressive with multiple approaches. Empower your team, consult with professionals, leverage third party tools, outsource... all out offensive.

It's difficult to know the ONE THING that will increase retention, but improving many things by a percent or two will give you noticeable lift.

And by compressing it into a short timeframe, you'll reduce the number of variables around cohorts, seasonality, etc.
Which desktop environment are you using? I have used the redshift-gtk package (for gtk based environments) and the KDE redshift plasmoid at various times. Both provide the option to autostart redshift in their GUI.

The arch wiki[1] has a good entry about redshift autostart as well.

The only other problems I've faced running redshift in the past, were related to geoclue.

Common Lisp has a sequence type that includes lists and vectors (and because strings are vectors, strings). Ordinary functions like sort, remove, find, reverse, and length operate on them.

Clojure's seq extends the abstraction to include maps and sets and other types implementing the interface.
Clojure is tied to the Java environment. Someone who has no use for or interest in that environment has no use for Clojure.
Your average internet user doesn't even know what a VPN is, let alone the significance of this law.
I'm going to be captain obvious here and let people know that the post I'm replying to is being extremely sarcastic. The author of the article is extremely well known in the Linux container community.
PGM seems to me harder than neural nets, but the trend in the last couple of years is to include probabilities in neural nets, so they're hot.
When you paid for a newspaper, you paid for the lurid headlines, the coverage of local politics, the funny pages, the investigative journalism, the sports reporting, the crossword etc etc. Nobody in management was entirely sure what part of that mix actually sold newspapers; editors had a large degree of discretion over what went in the paper and who got paid.

Ad-supported online journalism has unbundled news and precisely quantified each part. Management know exactly what each piece of "content" earns. Editors can no longer pretend that the prestige of serious reporting is a worthwhile investment.

Ad-supported online journalism is now almost entirely dependent on traffic from social media. As we have learned from the "fake news" imbroglio, reputation means almost nothing in this arena. You're only as good as your next clickbait headline.

As I see it, the only future for quality journalism is subscription-based, one way or another. Adsense is killing journalism.
> third party voters can wind up choosing which of the two parties win. in 2016, they gave Trump the win, because they equated him and the Republicans with Hillary in terms of deleterious effects.

This is a common line used by leftists who are angry that Trump won and are looking for someone to blame. Third party voters make an easy target, and the left has long felt entitled to the support of third-party voters.

But this entitlement assumes that third party voters would otherwise have voted for Clinton, which is a pretty strong assumption that also doesn't really hold up against the polling data from late in the election. Johnson took more than half of the third-party vote, and had he not been running, most Johnson voters would either have voted Trump or not voted at all.

Trump didn't win because of the few voters who voted third party. He won because of the 63 million people who voted for him. If you want to blame someone for Trump's victory, blame them, not the 7 million who chose not to vote for Trump.
I have been wishing this to be true during the better part of the last decade. Unfortunately for me, Facebook has reached a critical mass, and its black hole holds all those I know captive.

It's not that the Democrats are pure good. Far from it. It's that the Republican party of the last few decades is horrifically awful in basically every possible way.

Maybe on which programming language or framework is best. Most articles regarding race/gender discrimination even if they directly involve major tech firms are flagged and downvoted by large portions of the community. If they survive the initial wave, the top comments are usually pretty dismissive
These container and container like solutions are not 10 lines of code, no implementation will be 10 lines. Therefore solutions which have had time to stabilize will be better since 10 lines of code isn't even a valid solution. New code causes new issues and increased complexity, thats the only point to be made by the meme.
'use WhatsApp, use Signal' ... warning people away from VPN's probably isn't going to help.

When you put it that way, I think we should warn people away from "VPN" just like we (now) warn people against "military-grade encryption" because that term is more likely to indicate snake oil than working privacy. So there needs to be a brand like Signal that delivers what VPNs promised.
Such condescension. But I don't think you've added anything. It's pretty clear on this page that we were amongst those paying attention, but didn't have much company. Thanks largely to Snowden, now we do.
tencent has 2 primary competitors in china, primarily alibaba and baidu. baidu's business model is to copy everything google (so google maps, youtube, self driving cars, etc), but these 3 companies are converging on a lot of these things as baidu gets into self driving cars, was an investor in uber, etc. i think because they have a huge amount of capital, that they can make these types of investments to prepare themselves to take on alibaba and baidu head on in the future.
> Meanwhile the story itself is crap and wholly uninteresting in itself. It's pure gossip and speculation and unfounded assertions. I can think of a hundred reasons why a magazine might've decided not to run a story on this guy.

The Republicans are clearly more corrupt.
I agree completely. Taking an interest in the laws is important because if the technical solutions are made illegal then there is no real solution.

We can't assume VPNs will always be legal for individuals with the horrible direction things are going.

I would like to add however that it would be really nice if the super-intelligent programmers on HN could come up with an open solution that is super easy to use that actually preserves the little guy's privacy. Like just a tickbox in Firefox that makes your whole PC untrackable.

Something so easy that anyone can use it, yet as secure as all the complicated technical solutions that are being presented in these comments.
Do you say good riddance to the dead ancient Greeks and their ideas? The Persians? The Romans? Good riddance to the Islamic Golden Age, and everyone in it? Are you glad Pythagoras and Plato, Archimedes and al-Khwarizmi are all dead?

These peoples all contributed a lot of the world, and were all avid practitioners of slavery, as well as their own "racial and religious superiority".
Nobody owes it to you to make sure you keep surviving.

Imagine yourself back in a time where a flood or some random "act of god" could destroy your harvest and make it so you and your whole family died of hunger through no fault of your own (or anyone else's).

Today, thanks to centuries of improvements, one doesn't have to know how to build a house or even how to acquire food or clean water.

These things are given even to people who do nothing but drink and play video games all day on government dime.

Do you realize? We live in a time and place where not being basically given food, water, sanitation and shelter, even for contributing absolutely nothing of value is seen as shocking.

And then, some of the people from that time and place go on this crazy thing that allows them to communicate with half the population of the world in realtime and complain about "barely keeping afloat"!

The very notion would have been laughable 100 years ago. Hell, it's disconnected from the reality of even a large part of the world TODAY.
If they're using serialized EPCs (which track a unique item, not just SKUs) then this won't work because need to ensure each physical item is uniquely tagged, and that two tags with different serial numbers aren't on the same item (though duplicate tags with the same serial are fine) and that no two items have tags with the same serial.

If they're using non-serialized EPCs (so just logging SKU) then they need to ensure exactly 1 tag is on each item - no more and no less - otherwise inventory counts will be inaccurate.
You must have voted for Trump. The spin is good.
not entirely true, i imagine wechat is a huge advertising platform for the as well.
That being a worthy juxtaposition of my "8 acres" point: it's not hard to find, acquire, and move to enough land to survive on independently. Fire up zillow.com, pick a state (assuming USA here), set a very low maximum price for search, and you'll likely find something somewhere useable for homesteading.

Contending that "freedom" somehow requires others to associate with you, or requires an effort-free poverty-line income, is to grossly misunderstand the nature of "freedom". Your "freedom" starts with the bottom-line obligation to work hard enough to sustain yourself, by whatever means morally available without compelling others to comply or supply.
nitpick away. but to counter nitpick - I can find no evidence of the Qin Dynasty outlawing slavery on any level.
In addition to what's been mentioned:

Did they respect your time in the interview process?

-Good: schedule a full day of interviews and make the offer within a day or so.

-Bad: ask you to come into their office several times, or make you wait outside the CEO's office for 30 minutes (feel free to replace CEO with department head, partner, etc)

Did the interview involve a reasonable number of people to make a decision?

- Good: mixture of peers or management levels, each interview session has a clear point

- Bad: lengthy HR gate keeping, meeting with multiple non-technical people to evaluate your culture fit, seemingly everyone in the org needs to sign off on a hire

In general, I've found that organizations execute "real" projects the way they execute interviews.
