I hope he succeeds! This is far better than having the landscape littered with bird killing windmills and solar farms that incenerate birds.

Nuclear is the best source of large scale energy IF safety were guaranteed. The safety of nuclear energy seems like a solvable engineering problem -- a difficult problem certainly, but then again so was manned space flight.

I am not saying solar and wind are worse than fossil fuels -- but I am saying that nuclear could be the future. Combining nuclear generation with advanced batteries seems to be an ideal energy future.
I think the phrase "$60 billion in value" is roughly accurate, considering it's the tax-basis the IRS would use for shares sold. Any accountants on HN want to chime in?
In the case of a platform like Twitter, blocking certain types of speech is also a meaningful expression in itself. Telling someone to leave is a form of speech in itself. But telling (for example) many environmentalists to leave would also express a view on environmentalism because of the effect it would have on the overall conversion. Shaping the discourse on the platform is similar to a media outlet shaping the discourse it drives with selective reporting.
When your application is just some views plus some routing - then that would be a fair comparison.
But in most real world situations (SPA) it's much more: Form validation, Data Fetching, Unit Testing, Component styling, Translations, Modularization, ...
Nobody questions the attack - the only unknown is who perpetrated it. Whoever planned it knew very well that using a chemical weapon, especially on civilians, is likely to meet a very strong reaction. We've seen it in the past. That raises questions why anyone would do it, especially Assad who is now winning the war.
There are so many possibilities here. One of them is that Trump is being manipulated by the intelligence.
React is, of course, a work of a genius. But may I suggest another option in the same spirit, which is Riot.js? It is more elegant, compact and better syntactically polished, while retaining React's convenience and performance.

(I had approached React right when the infamous Babel5->Babel6 transition happened, and was seriously burned by it.)
AP ~2-3 hrs ago:

"The U.S. strikes —59 missiles launched from the USS Ross and USS Porter — hit the government-controlled Shayrat air base in central Syria, where U.S. officials say the Syrian military planes that dropped the chemicals had taken off. The U.S. missiles hit at 8:45 p.m. in Washington, 3:45 Friday morning in Syria. The missiles targeted the base's airstrips, hangars, control tower and ammunition areas, officials said.

The attack killed some Syrians and wounded others, Talal Barazi, the governor of Syria's Homs province, told The Associated Press. He didn't give precise numbers."
Milo was not banned for "free speech". He was banned because he was harassing people, which he very much was doing. If you want to say Twitter was banning people solely for their beliefs, find a better example.

Additionally, protecting your speech from the government is not the same as giving you a platform on which to speak. Twitter protected their users under the Obama administration as well, they were not one of the tech companies that shared data with the NSA according to the Snowden leaks.
Well, he did. If you recall carefully, he had wmd that he failed to register with the un inspection team. (He had made them before, they were cataloged by the un and he was supposed to submit to periodic inspection to make sure they were still under seal). After the us invaded, those and were found, of course still under seal and not a threat to anyone. The us quietly took them away to be disposed.

Basically, either Hussein was incompetent or he was trying to play a game of brinkmanship with the international community that he lost. Whether or not his actions justified invasion by the us is debatable (I do not believe so). Also the us repeatedly blatantly misrepresented Hussein to paint him as collaborating with "terrorists". but the fact is he did have wmd.
Maybe the reason for wait is that there's few fresh technologies upcoming that need these 2 year to mature to be viable - remember, they wanted Pro to be future-proof to some extend.

One can argue that current iphone/ipad is not future proof due to non-usb-c port, for example.
It's really disgusting when domestic politics spills out into the outside, resulting in wars and misery. I wish this vestige of imperialist times, the practice of "short victorious war" would finally die off.

This is shortsighted attitude that, in the long run, will be toxic for Apple. It's one thing to not give developers what they want because you can't ( doesn't fit the technology or the product, don't have the resources or whatever). It is quite another to do that simply because you won't (e.g. for strategic lock-in reasons).

Yes, the iPhone gives them all the market power they need with some developers, even many devlopers. But others don't care about the iPhone for various reasons. Those developers, grumble, moan and eventually buy computers that aren't Macs. And when those developers make great things they're outside of Apple's ecosystem, encouraging other developers and customers to leave it as well...
Headline is clickbait. He's talking about the majority, headline implies any.
Aurelia beats them all by the aggregated, somewhat obscure "Code Quality" metric but is beaten by all of them in every other way. Except Ember, of course: https://js.libhunt.com/project/ember-js/vs/aurelia

No matter how accurate the metric is, a framework/library's value lies not in how perfect its code is. Nobody actually uses Aurelia (yes, that's hyperbole but even Ember beats Aurelia in every popularity metric except Downloads).

You can't simply define Aurelia into relevance, even if LibHunt backs it up. Also, who even uses LibHunt?

No. Imagine a stock that's at 50 dollars today (T0). Over the next month it doubles in price and goes to 100 dollars (T1). A month after that its doubled again and the price is now $200 (T2). On a linear chart the difference in price between times T0 and T1 looks much smaller than the difference between times T1 and T2. However, an investor that bought at time T0 and sold and time T1 would have made exactly the same amount as someone that bought at T1 and sold at T2. If this was two different stocks and they had both gone up 100% in the same time frame the linear scale would make the more expensive stock look like a more impressive gain.

Another way to think about it is that you don't really care if a stock moves $x. You care if it moves x%. Logarithmic scales let you visualize this more accurately.

Of course we can't trust them. That's why we have a free press and free speech - so that there is no central authority controlling the media. Anyone who wants to set up an independent media, or carry out any form of independent investigation or reporting can do so. It's strength in diversity. Anyone who has reason to doubt these reports can do exactly what these reporters did, and in fact there are plenty of cases of incorrect reports being exposed. That's the system working as it is supposed to.
I completely understand you, because I'm in the same boat. It's hard to tell what is the right approach. I think that people should be tested. I'm still afraid to do that because I'm 31 years old and already started to experience some symptoms.

Yes, it's not easy decision but if you are not tested you can ruin life of your partner. It's better to prevent passing this terrible disease to your children.

Anyhow, 23andMe cannot tell you whether you have HD or not because they don't have sequences for that.

> And the React ecosystem tends to either lack typings or provide poor/broken typings.

React integrates really well with flow[1] (which is not surprising because they're both developed at Facebook) and in my experience flow's typesystem is more powerful (OCaml inspired) than TypeScript one (C# inspired):

- non-nullable types by default is a big deal (they added support for non-nullable types in TypeScript 2, but enabling it with `--strictNullChecks` is a breaking change, so I don't think many users have done the switch).

- the type checker is sometimes not strict enough to be sound [2].

Are multiple rotor blades more or less efficient than a single large rotor?
Also, could a normal helicopter be adapted to use these control systems to make them easier to fly?
Yeah, because the Syrians are so mind-dead that they'd give the NATO more reasons to stomp in and destroy their nation.
Russia and (by proxy Syria) were given advance warning. The target was military, so presumably no civilians live there.
Absolutely right. We shouldn't use the same methods to fight terrorism, though. If one of your opponents plays the centralized-government military game, play by those rules, if another plays by the decentralized-guerilla warfare game, play that. At the end of the day I think it's the US's responsibility, as arguably the most powerful military force on earth, to defend humans caught in the crossfire of other military actors. My support of unilateral action against Assad does not preclude my support for fighting the smaller repressive regimes he claims to be chasing.
This wasn't much of a rebuke. The message to Assad is that killing innocent people is fine--just don't do it with chemicals.

I find Trump's sudden reversal on this very suspicious. This seems to be mainly a politically motivated action that 1 - makes him look tougher than Obama on the 'red line' issue and 2 - deflects from the Russia investigation.

Things will get interesting (in a very bad way) if Assad calls the bluff.
" Banks has to have an open api" are you sure about that ? I thought there was some criteria to be able to use these APIs
There are countless "liberals" who have called for the murder of straight white men on Twitter (as a very simple example see the #KillAllMen hashtag). They weren't banned, despite being against the fabled "terms of service". But if someone criticises a feminist or other "liberal" group, they are likely to get banned.

To pretend there isn't a clear bias by Twitter is just being disingenuous. I say this as someone who very left on most issues, its quite depressing seeing everything descend into authoritarianism.

I think the most interesting paragraphs is this one:

"We (US) have created a society where you can sue anybody for anything," "That's (autonomous vehicles) going to happen first in Singapore or China, most likely China I would say, for a couple of reasons," Gurley said.

Unfortunately, in Europe we are moving to a similiar state of the society / law, with strong incentives for people to initiate lawsuits for personal compensation.

On a side note: I heard rumors that skiing in the US is so expensive, due to the high insurance premiums that the skiing resorts have to pay. Given the amounts of lawsuits that they are facing.
But first they were conquered by Macedonia -- was Greek in many ways, but it did not have the political culture that Ober says distinguished the Poleis.
There quite different scenarios though. We never saw WMD's or saw them used. Iraq had show no agression to the western world especially compared to some other countries - and yet we believed the lies. In this case we know for a fact Syria had chemical weapons because they agreed to decommission them. We've seen evidence of several chemical attacks on Syrian people. There's been a civil war going on for 7 years. The only question remaining is who launched the chemical attacks? Given the horrors that have been happening over there and the reluctance of any western nation to get involved I think that, although the public should remain vigilant when it comes to evidence for going to war, this situation is very very different to Iraq.
I actually like the Azure portal more than AWS. The speed is annoying yes, and n-level menu structure was overwhelming at first but the ability to manage all services from single SPA makes it much better than the way AWS console handles it, also the ability to minimize and do multiple actions at the same time balances out the slowness.
This is the man who has taken the company from zero to $60bn.

There's no reason to assume someone capable of taking a company from zero to $60bn is necessarily capable of taking it from $60bn to $120bn, or even just maintaining a $60bn valuation. Quite often the skills needed to start something are different from the skills needed to grow or to maintain something.

That isn't to say Travis can't do it. He's clearly incredibly capable of doing some amazing things. I'm just questioning the idea that he's automatically the right person to run Uber using a basis of the fact he started Uber. While he has done some astounding things he's also been CEO while Uber has done some very bad things too.
> 75x whole exome sequencing (very good quality even for a clinical test)

You say that, but at the lab where I work, that level of quality would be a big fat fail - re-sequence the sample and get more data. They further describe their sequencing quality as "≥ 90% loci with 20x or more coverage AND ≥ 99% loci with 1x or more coverage". That's poor quality - very poor quality. We aim for 97% coverage at 20X and routinely get 98.5% They only get away with saying "Genos yields 50 times more data than comparable services" because they are comparing against 23andme, which uses a completely different test methodology.

I would caution against believing any media reports until a similar analysis is done for the current incident. Assad has no reason for jeopardizing his current favorable position.
I was probably a bit harsh here in retrospect comparing agile to communism ;-). I do feel agile culture though, or XP in particular, tends to to encourage a lowest-common denominator approach where individuals can't really shine.

1) They probably did something terrible to kids. They have been doing since the beginning of the war on Syria, the difference is the news coverage this time. Yes, that was manipulated. But the gas attacks had been repeated for ages. For christ sake, read some news outside of american media. Have you seen what has been hapenning to kids in this war since the beginning??? "claim they did something terrible"

2) Bombing some random country is not the solution. Americans. You are the only country in the world that did not perceived your military is stupid and invasive and destructive.

I don't think ME is a performance related feature
Bearing in mind Assad has already previously used chemical weapons, and Trump's campaign vow not to intervene was well after that, one really has to wonder what his thinking is on this.

I'm not saying we shouldn't intervene, I don't see how the international community can let something like this stand, but how can he justify being against intervening after the previous chemical attacks when he was a candidate, but order intervention after chemical attacks as president? Russia and China are going to have a field day arguing this point in the Security Council. It seriously weakens the US position.

Theranos comes to mind.
See the section in the article with the heading "Dependency Injection". It talks about a specific scenario where there is one component that needs to show the state of the entire system (an activity light turned on, for example), where any component can trigger this, but the last component to become inactive turns the light off.

That' a completely different thing, as it is based on nuclear fission ('normal' nuclear power), whereas the technology metnioned here is nuclear fusion ('what happens in the sun'). According to the German Wikipedia, Integral fast reactors (or breeders) have specific risks, e.g. they use a large amount of plutonium: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutreaktor#Gefahren_und_Gegen...

This startup is about nuclear fusion, which may be able to deliver 'clean, safe, limitless energy" ( https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/dec/02/after-60... ). It has been researched for ages, but it was unclear whether it can deliver. If that works eventually, it would be a big thing.

Scott Ritter (not exactly a gwb apologist):

"There's no doubt Iraq hasn't fully complied with its disarmament obligations as set forth by the Security Council in its resolution. But on the other hand, since 1998 Iraq has been fundamentally disarmed: 90-95% of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction capacity has been verifiably eliminated ... We have to remember that this missing 5-10% doesn't necessarily constitute a threat ... It constitutes bits and pieces of a weapons program which in its totality doesn't amount to much, but which is still prohibited ... We can't give Iraq a clean bill of health, therefore we can't close the book on their weapons of mass destruction. But simultaneously, we can't reasonably talk about Iraqi non-compliance as representing a de-facto retention of a prohibited capacity worthy of war"

I wouldn't expect master to be stable, for Android or any other project. If you were setting up a new Linux machine and compiling the kernel yourself, surely you wouldn't build master? AOSP has release branches and RCs like android-7.1.1_r38 which will have gone though a bunch of QA.

Most users wouldn't like stock AOSP though, since the built-in apps are very primitive.

Just because an anti-Assad militia is Muslim doesn’t make it a terrorist organization. Approximately everybody in that whole region are Muslim. Of course the rebels are Muslim. A few of them have links to or are affiliated with terrorist organizations, but when you’re involved in a fight for survival you take help from anyone offering it. Fights like this are messy and dangerous and no good ever comes of them. But they still need to be fought. Trump is about to learn this.

Nothing you just said supports that slavery ended because of the "free market".

1) The Civil War was absolutely about slavery. Here's a professor at West Point talking about: https://youtu.be/pcy7qV-BGF4 (and PragerU is a very conservative source too).

2) The Emancipation Proclamation didn't end slavery. It ended it in states that were still rebelling. It took amendments to the Constitution to end slavery once and for all.

3) I agree that keeping prisoners is very expensive in the US and that most of that cost falls on the taxpayer. But it is very much still (essentially) slavery that the "free market" uses.
