Putin is not the only autocrat or autocrat-wannabe. Not even close.

There's shades of a tech anology: remember teh 1990s when Microsoft was the big bad monopoly, and it crushed competitors such as democratic Linux, and also... Apple, who would have been the same monopoly or worse, if only they hadn't lost to Microsoft
Yeah, I'd open it on my chromebook. And if i see a login screen on the way to open said spreadsheet, i'd immediately start worrying and recheck things.

Good luck.
I'm always a little wary of the robustness of sentiment analysis; in my experience, if you take the time to check sentiment analysis results sentence by sentence, you will find a high error rate.

I haven't confirmed by looking at the source, but my suspicion is that either most sentiment analysis implementations are rule based or are not well tuned.

My go-to example is IBM Watson's sentiment analysis service rating "I hope you die" as very positive because the sentence is categorized as "hopeful". Which I suppose it is, technically, and perhaps this is a case where I'm expecting too much because recognizing this particular example as having a negative sentiment requires much human abstract reasoning and inference, but the example remains nonetheless because real-world language usage that isn't dry and technical is rife with these sorts of linguistic usages.
FYI, for deep wells you generally have to switch to supercritical CO2 instead of water, for the corrosion issue.

How is he labelled as "liberal"? He's been a member of the French socialist party. He only left it last year for his campaign.

Yes. Phishing is ineffective against most competent Internet users. I used to be against it, but more and more I favour the ideas of a basic internet license being a requirement to use the internet.
Well, Trump supporters believe it benefits the US, Le Pen supporters believe it benefits France, and Brexit supporters believe it benefits the UK. You and I and most of HN disagree with them, but it's not as objective as you make it sound.
in comparison to Le Pen, nearly everyone is a flaming liberal/socialist. What exists to the right of Le Pen? Actual swastika wearing nazis?
It's actually perfectly fine for many small server roles, as well.

>I think it is in society's interest to arrange for there to be a number of job-vacancies of the Panera-kid-type available

I completely disagree. It's actively making things worse to not use more efficient methods. Now if a restaurant wants to keep one of those people around for people who don't like the kiosks, or maybe to talk to if they have a question about something or want to ask for something the kiosk can't do, then that's great, because that's where people are actually useful: for handling things that automation can't, like special cases. Of course, you don't need as many humans this way, since there aren't that many people who the kiosk can't serve.

But having people employed just for the sake of employment is nothing more than make-work. It's just like the Soviet factories where they built wooden crates on one side of the factory, then moved them to the other side of the factory where another team disassembled them for recycling, then moved the wood to the other side of the factory where it was used for building crates, .... There's no dignity in make-work. If you're worried about there not being enough jobs, the answer is the UBI: give people a regular stipend and let them spend it however they want. At least some of them will find some new enterprise on their own, whether it's writing a book (like JK Rowling, who was on welfare when she wrote the books that made her a millionaire--she's worth almost $800M), or writing a phone game, or just doing odd jobs and not having to worry so much about having enough for rent because of the irregularity. The other answer is to get the government to invest in its people by providing education, and by financing important projects (like replacing those bridges). There's plenty of work to be done without resorting to make-work.
Yep, and if you look at the carders in Russia, they have some very close ties with government. Perfect infrastructure for this shit.
Right before the election is far more dangerous. Fake or out-of-context portions will cause immediate outrage and take days/weeks to research and explain (and the French campaign blackout means the campaign can't explain until after the election).

As an example, 538 makes a compelling argument that the Comey letter - later found to be essentially a false alarm, but after the damage was done - influenced the US election. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-comey-letter-probab...
It's funny that they are being honest about the likely contents of the cache?

"both authentic and falsified documents" was speculated in the DNC/Russia hacks, and also claimed to be the Russia Today strategy abotu news, and whether it was true or not then, it's clearly a clever idea for any future crackers.
> considering the ongoing total operational budget on a yearly basis for all of the facilities and support structure in Strasbourg

You're conflating parliamentary budget and staff with a campaign budget and staff. These documents came from his campaign, not a parliamentary office (be it EU or French). For obvious reasons the two don't mix. Campaigns generally operate on extremely restricted budgets, and are naturally transient in nature.

Also their definition of "google contacts" is extremely broad. During the time I allowed LinkedIn access to gmail contacts, I suddenly noticed a ton of my neighbors in my building being suggested to connect to. People I never had any direct mail conversations with. Turns out our tenant mailing list was sent out once by accident as CC vs BCC, so it seems even the CC field contents count as "contacts".
Of course there are tradeoffs. I'm not arguing that self-teaching is necessarily ideal or preferable. But both the article's premise (or at least the tl;dr people are taking away from the headline...the text is a bit more nuanced) of "can't do code school therefore can't learn to code" and the assertion that someone isn't qualified to comment on self-teaching if they have an education are ridiculous.
No. Those people are all on IRC and have been for decades.

Honestly, I think the biggest difference is in expectations. Look at this graph [0] from an NPR article.

The amount of disposable income spent on food has almost been cut in half since 1960. The example of darning socks is a good one. When people darned socks it was not really because they were poor, per se. It was because socks were expensive. Now socks are considered to be disposable items.

When I grew up, my mother had a carbon steel kitchen knife. Singular. I wander into people's homes and it's rare that I see less than 5 or 6 crappy knives that are, again, basically disposable. How many people have a sharpening stone in their house (and I'm not talking about the next-to-useless honing instrument that people buy and also don't know how to use)?

You've got people spending over $100 per month on cable TV, internet and cell phone. Not just one cell phone either. Every single person in the family needs one, so that they can play Candy Crush and take pictures of their breakfast (pancakes made from a mix because people have lost the ability to add baking powder to flour). Darning socks? Who has time for that???? Socks are free anyway.

Look at this graph for real disposable income since 1929 [1]. Money is like computer memory. The more you have, the more inventive ways you will find to use it. There is never enough. I wonder how many people would actually be better off spending an evening darning socks instead of stressing about how many "likes" they have on Facebook.

I've worked within spitting distance of these types of areas for 10 years now. I liked to joke that when I took the first job, they only hired during the winter, because if people knew what it smelled like in the summer, they'd never take the job.
Yes, you have a point, though the reality is even more complicated.

There are physical limits to the heat capacity of the rock, and the heat flux into the region. Deeper wells are not necessarily hotter. Going hotter adds other costs (drilling mud, water=>co2, casement, etc), so its a big multivariate optimization.
Well most servers ship with IPMI and a default username/password of admin/admin or something equally guessable. There's some assumption that a competent administrator is managing them.
And other times you can "see" w/o finding anything.

In Brazil, when you were supposed to meet a friend at a certain time and they aren't there, you call/text them and ask where they are. They'll usually say: "já estou saindo" (I'm leaving already [from their house]), but according to the cultural norms, this actually often means "I haven't left yet and I'm getting ready, or thinking about getting ready".

Likewise, if you're out and about, and pass by some acquaintances, you make quick chit-chat to be nice and then make plans to get together next weekend. Both parties generally know this will not happen, and it's only being said for appearances.

This leads to a joke I like to imagine where situation 2 leads to situation 1. That is, "let's meet up next weekend!" and the response, "Ok, I'm leaving my house already". Everyone knows it's BS but they say it anyways.
It seems to me that would just make the programmer the central planner.
Is there an objective, global "right wing" and "left wing", is this relative to France? Compared to the US most European politicians seem pretty left.
okay, true, even so. In a nation the size of France I find it really doubtful that major political parties would go begging for the budget to hire infosec/netsec professionals, considering the amount of money spent on all the other expenses of a major campaign.
I'd say it's both!

If the recipient is in an "us versus them" mindset, then they are going to be biased toward poking holes for ideas on the "other side". See also: "Why you think you're right -- even if you're wrong", by Julia Galef [video] https://youtu.be/w4RLfVxTGH4

There are obviously ways to present facts that cause people to be predisposed to rejecting them. I would argue that there are also techniques that can help pull people out of this mindset (for example, acknowledging that the listener's opposing view is a valid one), which can improve the odds of them being receptive to new information.

I recently saw an article on HN (don't have a link, sorry) that said that cold did not, in fact, do anything to make us sick or help us catch stuff[1], EXCEPT that it made it more likely to spread something due to running nose or other contact with body fluids.

I find the competence of government employees quite acceptable and even at times commendable given my quality of life. But then I also understand how the rest of the world has to get by which makes me appreciate what I'm fortunate enough to have.

The weird thing I've noticed is that some people in my country will express your sentiment, but then turn around and tell you they live in the best country in the world and would be offended were anyone to say otherwise.

I guess they don't see the connection between the government workers and that quality of life.
heads up: On page 15 it feels like the questions are not written from a user-centric point of view any more, while the previous ones were excellent. "The Rust project" has an unclear or at least less significant meaning to me as a user than probably to someone working on increasing Rust adoption, which I gather the first 2 questions on p. 15 are about? ("Rust project" could also mean "that thing you're working on using Rust", to me as user/dev. Usually you folks call it "Rust language" or something with "community" etc.) Great survey otherwise, just about to finish it!
Not really. The publisher and/or the developer is not diverting revenue from the mod creators to themselves. They created a platform that someone decided to extend...they are a passive beneficiary of someone else's elective work, but they aren't actively rent seeking.

Here's an interesting thought: do you find the notion/anecdote regarding the returned servicemen insulting?

Because to me, he's applied an analogy describing a certain behaviour to both groups: but you find one "a political insult" and presumably one "an accurate description, or at least an acceptable anecdote".

It appears to me, as a non-american, the analogy is not only apt but accurate, but i understand how one may find it insulting.

But then, I also understand how a returning veteran might find this entire thread/idea insulting when applied to them.

But in both cases...that doesn't make the point deviate or approach the truth any more or less.

Personally, I believe there is a "rational voter paradox" at play in both of our societies political cultures (I'm australian for what its worth).

We find certain ideas insulting and degrading when applied to the notion of "voter", because we carry a political ideology of sanctity (the rational voter) around the voters decision. Because we are partisan, any attempt to analyse voter activity that draws away from the rational automatically puts you in the camp of "the other", which makes you an enemy, which makes everything an insult.

Hint that voters voted for trump because they were anxious and threw their lot in with someone giving out soothing epithets and its an insult.

That same idea however, returned service men being anxious about the future and being duped into throwing their lot into schools that make grand promises...and its an observation. Even a completely legitimate thread.

I've had the same thing happen to me a few times: express what I think is a fact, and been told that this is not the place for such hostile speak, insults, or comments.

I will leave HN today with this thought from my professional experience: If you're an analyst, and you actually have to predict these things, don't give anything but politeness to the people who find such observations to be insults, even though you know they're wrong, and use them if they're predictive :P

I think this might be a confusion between American Liberalism and European Liberalism?

The main difference between American and European concepts of liberalism is in economic philosophy. While American liberals favour government regulation of business and social welfare programs, "economic liberalism" in Europe is about free markets and laissez-faire.[1]

It seems like every late night comedian doubles as a political commentator these days. Perhaps my memory is hazy but I didn't recall previous late night hosts having to resort to as many partisan jokes for laughs. IMO it's lazy humor that lacks originality and plays on people's hate. Its like making fun of the outcast at school because it's vogue. If we want harmony in this world, we can't go around calling everyone we disagree with a moron.
I wish. We're still trying to get tech companies to prioritize security.
I think OP works for a member of parliament, if I understand them correctly. Their offices are actually not that sensitive. All the secrets are held by the executive, and the EU doesn't even have the sort of military and intelligence institutions that are usually most secretive.
Why the clickbait? Use the right tool for the job.
United States, Britain, and France benefit most I'd think. Aren't each large and powerful enough to strong arm neighbors into favorable trade deals if the EU dies? Along with NATO renegotiation?

Trump campaigned on slogans like "We don't win anymore". I think he's trying to choose and court a winning team (Britain, China, etc.). Once the gang is together they'll go raid the world economically. So in my opinion not isolationist, but I could be all wrong.

edit: Since it'll probably come up...I don't support this plan.
This should not come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to recent elections... well, anywhere.

"Seemingly skeptical (and rightfully so), Podesta forwarded the email to his chief of staff, who then passed along the email to the campaign’s IT team.

Not quite. The IT aide did say that the email (which was an imitation of a real "You've already been hacked" email template) was legitimate, but did not directly recommend clicking on links in the email.

He recommended visiting a correct URL. He should have said "I'm not sure, but don't click; to be safe, go to this URL instead"

Amusingly, the IT guy uses bit.ly for his surveys, and the phishing link was also a bit.ly link.

I expect Russians to interfere in our elections just like anyone else but that also doesn't mean I find it acceptable. I don't approve of US meddling in free and democratic elections either.

I'm not one of the folks who thinks we should go to war over something like this, but it leaves me with no illusions about Putin's aims nor should any limits be placed on punitive actions targeting Putin and his cadre.
I want you to consider the way you phrased your statement, and compare it to the way I phrased my question.

You: "[The] reason for wage stagnation is that women hit the workforce"

Me: "because women weren't expected to have jobs"

The way you phrased your statement can be interpreted as saying that women are the cause of wage stagnation. Surely, that's not what you meant at all.

The way I phrased my statement implies that society, and the change in society's expectations of women, are the trigger. This shifts the "blame", if you will, from women, to everyone.

I realize I'm being nit-picky about words, but in my experience, women and minorities care about words a lot, and so taking care in the way you use words can help them be more receptive to your facts and ideas.
Well, the reason for the success of Trump, BrExit, and perhaps Le Pen is that the standard political elites (Dems and Republican in US, Labor and Conservatives in Britain) and the media ignored the harms to the working class from globalization through global labor arbitrage (exporting labor through trade, importing labor through immigration of cheap labor).
What about those of us on HN who think you can't just segment fields like that?

I can't stand startup and entrereneurship talk.

I'm on HN because its a place that attracts smart people that talk about a high diversity of intellectual topics with a common ground of tech experience. These days its often the high-tech savvy community from whom the experts in those other fields are likely to be found. (and partly why i'm here). And at the very least, I would argue you can't separate tech in any meaningful way from policy, policy making, society or governance.

I think the biggest issue is the short campaign time. You have to pay a pretty big premium to get someone to quit a job with good stock bonuses for 45 days of work. It’s also very challenging to implement a full security Implementation solo in one week (or whatever aggressive timeline is needed to prevent hacks from day one). Hiring a team is cost prohibitive in most countries.

I did understand the water to be piped directly into homes from a natural source, which is what my original comment reflected. However, in retrospect, that may have been a misunderstanding on my part rather than what my host literally told me. I perhaps combined the concept of municipal hot water and the sulfur smell into a concept where the hot water was actually geothermal water -- rather than normal water heated by geothermal power.

I did see one of the very large geothermal plants, but am having a hard time remembering where it was. Either on my way to/from Thórsmörk, along the golden circle, or on a drive to Snaefellsnes.
