This is the kind of brazen backdoor which makes all other security moot. How can anyone depend on security if the cpu is backdoored and anyone can remote your machine irrespective of OS and even whether it is running?

Given the sheer brazenness and scope I wonder why the security folks have been so muted, what can be more important this this?

What ever the benefits of this backdoor for enterprises or any single group imposing it on all users makes it look like a fig leaf. The fact that it is done in consort with AMD and ARM can only lead to the conclusion it is some kind of a mandated NSA backdoor.

There is a huge unresolved dichotomy now of 'democracies' with governments completely and singularly obsessed with their citizens' speech. Having hundreds of thousands of government employees working on monitoring citizens and doing things like backdooring CPUs is the furthest you can get from free societies. Infact it's the opposite.
To be fair "Executive" means "A person or group having administrative or managerial authority in an organization."

Seniority of the product manager role depends on a number of factors. Sure, most FB product managers are not considered execs these days, but he was their first Product Manager responsible for ad targeting and then their advertising exchange all the way back in 2011. That probably brought with it a team, a good salary and a lot of sway.

Unlike the cookie-cutter 9-5 corporations of yesteryear, startups have been pretty loose with standard job naming convention. You can be fresh out of a BA and get called "CMO" or you can be a 20-year veteran leading a team making executive decisions and just be a "Product Specialist."

The responsibilities and compensation define executives far more than titles.

I'm Dutch, so no. Discourse is the only tool I know I have here.

The reason I'm invested in the U.S. political system is that it produces something resembling international jurisprudence ("if the U.S. is doing it, we should too!"), because it influences our policies through trade agreements and the U.N., and because many U.S. companies are very influential internationally.

That, and Trump's climate policies affect every conscious being on Earth.

worst experiences were probably Austrian Nazi guys investigating repeatedly my wife's passport, while at other border with Hungary they let freely roam across Europe thousands of illegal immigrants
This is correct if I understand you. Basically, when people add something new to a schema, they're generally tacitly also admitting it's optional. Optional fields should not exist on the same table as non-optional fields, because then you have to allow everything to be null or a specially designated value.

> Semi-related: we were in the market for a new car. One of the factors we decided to go for a European car this time (we had a Ford Focus before) is that we'd like to support Trump America as little as possible.

What an exciting new world we live in, in which, before we do any kind of business or trade with a company which has a presence in a foreign country, we must consider all of the policies of that country's current, democratically elected leader--and if we don't agree with them, we refuse to do any business with that company, thereby attempting to punish the citizens of that country for exercising their right to democratic self-rule. How dare they have a different opinion. We'll buy local instead. That'll teach 'em to disagree with us.

What a sad state of affairs our world will be in if we all stop doing business with those who don't agree with us on everything. We might as well organize ourselves into separate entities and only do business within them. That would be...something like nations, without trade, no? But then here we are trying to force these other nations to do what we want, thereby erasing the distinctions between them.

And that's the real goal here, isn't it? The world becomes smaller every day.
Say the majority went up to 55%... We'd still need a lot more than that to change the electoral college.

And honestly, having big states control who becomes president just because of their population, given how independent states should function, is a cornerstone of the electoral college.

It's definitely not as simple as RGB. Displays use an additive color model (you start from black and add more light), whereas paints use a subtractive color model (you start from white and add pigment).

The standard model for subtractive color is CMYK -- cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Calibrating RGB displays to offer a reasonable preview of CMYK color is quite tricky due to the completely different color space and dynamics.

Wall paints are an additional step removed because you can't buy them in CMYK, and the vendors don't provide a mapping from their private color names into a standard CMYK space.

> Traveling to the US is a breeze for Europeans.

No, it isn't. I am European, travelled twice to the US last year. Each time multi-hour wait for the USCBP check. From take-off in Brussels to landing in NYC took less time than getting from JFK to Manhattan.

If I can avoid it, I will not be travelling to the US any time soon.
Their collective capacity is to low (as there are to few electrical cars) to appear on the radar of the utility companies yet, but as their numbers increase, they become important parts of managing the grid.

Most Parliamentary representation I know do still have seats allocation based on districts/political areas, and thus the biggest issue people have with electoral system would still be there. Even the EU with the EU parliament have degressive proportionality system where the larger the state the more citizens are represented per seat.

In the end, the idea that low population area have more impact-per-voter comes from the need to keep people united and making sure that high population areas don't completely out vote the needs of the other areas. The obvious alternative is independence, so instead of one united states you would have several smaller countries based on common needs.

> I have always wondered how hard it would be to switch to direct voting rather as opposed to the system with an electoral college. Is it impossible because the current system is codified in the constitution, or does it 'only' require an amendment. If so, was there ever a serious attempt to change this system?

The constitution simply says that each state gets to appoint its electors as it sees fit.

Wit that in mind, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact [0] commits states that adopt it to appointing their electors in line with the national popular vote: e.g., in the 2016 election, had it been in force, every state that had adopted it would have chosen electors for Hillary, regardless of how the vote in that state fell.

So far, it has been adopted in principle by 10 states and the District of Columbia. However, it doesn't come into force until adopted by enough states to achieve an absolute majority in the electoral college; currently, it's 105 votes shy.

I really can't believe all the negativity here towards traveling to the US. You're taking a few admittedly awful anecdotes, and turning them into giant statistics about the country.

You know that thought experiment where you have scientists debating global warming, but to make it clear just how much consensus there is, instead of having 1 scientist against and 1 pro, you have 1 against and a whole crowd pro?

I run this thought experiment every time I enter the states. I can usually see around me many thousands of people in the airport, getting along just fine. I can imagine the many tens of thousands who go through those airports every day, and the probably millions all across the country who go through the airports without trouble.

These millions are what you should be stacking up against the dozens of anecdotes you get on the web.

(For what it's worth, I have had very easy experiences with immigration, with mostly people being very nice to me, but a few times someone was rude/mean to me. Nothing more than that.)
It's certainly worth its price but I wonder how many people would pay for it. Nice work! I like the design.

It's always been a problem. It's just that now main stream media focus more on these issues to force the anti-trump agenda. (I'm not a huge fan of Trump btw.)
If you're delivering what you promised to your customer or end user (without compromising on speed) then great!

As a developer, I avoid Electron apps because of the battery consumption. But that's just me. Your end user might not even know the stack or have no idea about it and only cares about the work being done. So yeah, I guess it's great for something which needs to be there as a desktop app.

From a dev's point of view: It's like how React Native is growing as an easy native app development tool. If a team can focus on one codebase instead of multiple, that's a great thing.
There are multiple standards for this.

- RAL – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAL_colour_standard

- Pantone – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantone

- some others, often with military roots (FS595, British Standard, …)

Pantone has different charts for paper/textile prints etc. RAL is mostly used for paint. It's common to have RAL codes on spray cans or wall paint buckets here in Europe.

There are tools to approximately convert RGB (and HSL and others) to these colors, eg. http://rgb.to/. But since the color models and intended use are different, there are some colors with no equivalent.

Pantone even provides RGB/CMYK mappings for applicable colors in their sample books: https://www.pantone.com/images/pages/19890/Pantone-Extended-...

There are also palletes for graphics software like Adobe Illustrator. But some colors look weird on the RGB display obviously.

(Source: i worked as a backpack designer for years, we did a lot of pantone prints)
It's really interesting. My wife and I have done lots of painting at our house over the past year and we never get exactly what we expected. Most recently, we spent a long time selecting a light gray, which looked very much gray with a group of other grays. Then we painted the first portion of wall, stepped back and both said, "well, that is blue".
Though if we look at where the majority of the population lives (NY/CA) and how blue those states are he has a point here.

Speculation nonetheless though.

Perhaps you could add a mention of the license on the project page and/or at the top of the file?

If I'm understanding you right don't have a former license yet. You could use something like MIT, Apache 2.0, CC0, GPL, LGPL or WTFPL, that would fit your comment.

I think MIT or Apache 2.0 would be the safest choices (if you don't have a preference for GNU/copyleft licenses).

I'm afraid a HN comment won't hold up in court as proof I have a license to use a work.
No, they cannot except for the few users who actually understand what it is all about. I probably did more harm than good by advising clueless OSX-users (as in "ordinary users") to use the Little Snitch. Now they browse as careless as before but they are "safe" because they have a "firewall" (in which they always click "allow forever" anyway).

If you know what you are doing it is a pretty useful "pf with desktop notifications".

It doesn't really make a lot of sense. If anything, Chinese people have more credibility than white people when writing about Chinese food, not less. That is not a new phenomenon either, since people like Ken Hom and Martin Yan have been doing it since the 1980s. Is she really claiming she was "bullied" for eating pig intestines? One minute she claims that everyone thinks Chinese food is cool, then the next minute she is complaining about how she gets funny looks for chewing on jellyfish heads.
> I decided not to bring a computer at all

I also prefer travel without much electronics, since it's easy to get it lost or stolen. But it's not always an option - if you're traveling for business, you have to take the computer, and also everybody has a smartphone these days.

> I just state that people seem to hype the evilness of the border control.

Maybe to you it seems like a hype. But I was born in totalitarian country, and while it was pretty benign for ordinary people (I was a child), it's not something that I want to live through regardless.

Asking about trip details or looking if I don't have weapons and so on is fine for a visit.

But looking at my social media accounts (although I have almost none) and data on my devices - these are totalitarian practices. I understand that you don't feel that way, because you perhaps never experienced totality, but please you should also understand that many people feel differently (like the guy with the top comment).

"That's been in place for 100-200 years"

The gerrymandered system with even more party control is not the system that has been in place for anywhere near that amount of that time.

The parties in place dont have that kind of history either.

Our voting laws are different, even non-white men can vote now! (though they are disenfranchised as much as possible.)

Basically, the system is constantly in flux, ad yes, we get to complain about it all we want and change it (again.)
Large parts of Scotland are privately owned and run purely for hunting - grouse moors and deer forests (although not many trees in a Scottish deer forest).

I let you support your vocal 'false' with data.

As for Canadians in Trump era: 'Refusals of Canadians at American land crossings dropped 8.5 per cent between October and the end of February compared with the same five-month period a year earlier, according to U.S. government statistics.
The total number of Canadian travellers denied entry also dropped: 6,875 out of 12,991,027 were refused entry, a refusal rate of 0.05 per cent.
Between October 2015 and February 2016, 7,619 out of 13,173,100 Canadian travellers were denied entry to the U.S., a refusal rate of 0.06 per cent.'

Hi, HN!

Really excited to share my little project here. Being a colorblind designer, it was often hard for me to figure the color names and decide which colors to use. Hence, I decided to make this app.

Cone lets you pick colors in real time using the phone's camera. It lets you build color palettes while on the run, capturing and recording color for later comment/discussion, sending the colors to someone else quickly and efficiently, and of course translating a physical objects color to a usable set of information without having to get expensive colorimetric equipment.

Really excited to hear feedback from you all :)
It's because when you look at whites alone, they are underrepresented in favor of Asians. Since whites are oppressors and never victims, Asians get added to their category to keep up the narrative.
