Part of the UK have been very badly hit by globalism - which arguably was one of the major factors in the Brexit vote. Similarly, the support for National Front in France was, as far as I understand it, largely in areas where there have been steep downturns in traditional industries.

Edit: I was a Remain voter - but I can completely why so many people were angry and wanted a protest vote. Just that I don't think the EU really caused many of the problems people were complaining about so that coming out of the EU is unlikely to actually resolve this issues.
Climate models back in the 70s were very crude. There were only about two decades of atmospheric CO2 measurements. And, as I recall, predictions were stated with far greater uncertainty. So I wouldn't be surprised if some high-end estimates are clearly wrong by now.

Edit: But maybe initial models were decent enough:

No to mention the increased input into the local economy.

That allows others who may be doing something more directly for society to continue doing so.
There are plenty of companies who perform pen testing and security. Their biggest deficiency right now is understanding new emerging cloud technologies. We have been working with some pretty big name security companies around the globe and very few of them understand AWS or Azure adequately.
I doubt that more technology is the solution. What worked for me was to build up strength in my wrists, hands, and forearms again, with free weights. (I'd actually recommend dumbbells rather than barbells. If I were advising myself 22 years ago, I would tell myself to start really light, and don't work too hard to begin with.) It took a lot of work, but I didn't cause the RSI to flare up again, and within a few months I was able to type at full speed for indefinite periods.

Something else I learned was to not overdo it.

So, that was almost a cure for me, but whether it'll work for you or not is an entirely different thing, depending on what the root of the problem is. You would probably also need to address posture and muscle tension issues, like I do, and you just plain should not attempt any kind of serious rehab without a good physiotherapist helping you.
If you're interested in fixing the problem the article discusses, this is pretty much exactly the wrong approach. You would actually be hard-pressed to find a solution more diametrically opposed to fixing the problem.
At some point someone discovered that reporting on a fictional version of reality that confirms the audience's biases was more profitable than reporting on actual facts.
GraphQL will be available in GitHub Enterprise 2.10, and GitHub Apps will be available in 2.11. For Marketplace, we will be researching how to solve similar problems for Enterprise customers after this initial launch.
Note that if you opt out of Google keeping this history, I believe Google still keeps all your voice recordings, you just lose the ability to review and "delete" them, and they aren't tied to your account anymore.

This is one of the crazier notions I've seen in a privacy dark pattern: "Let us track you or we'll keep your data forever".

Pork barrel spending is special interest funding. It's not viewed as a good thing
I don't buy it. The last election saw relatively wealthy cities voting to increase taxes, increase equity, and make life better for the poor. And rural areas voting the opposite way with national identity, lower taxes, and lower community spending being their important things.

This is very different from third world nations where the middle class wants lower taxes and the poor vote for more spending but don't succeed.
The problem is that America has become a socialist country which is a recipe for poverty. It wastes such an insane amount of money paying people to not work, to not contribute to society. we pay well over 200 billion dollars a year in just interest on the debt

Placebo isn't used because there are treatments that are effective (even if the effect is small). Therefore, the placebo comparison is (for many cases) unethical. The appropriate comparison is to the standard therapy, not to no therapy at all.

If there is no therapy that is known to be effective for a particular illness, then placebo control remains appropriate.
On the other hand, the US has a legalistic style of politics which you could blame on people relying too much on the constitution. The US is like an oppositional court room, with each side tearing at each other to get as much benefit as they can. It does diminish the shared duty to do what is right and good for the country and the democracy.

Although of course the US is also a relatively fractured country by its nature, so perhaps can't rely on a vague, shared sense of what is good and decent, in the same way as a small European country, with more or less a common ethnic and cultural identity.
Indeed, and a slavish adherence to Neoliberal Capitalism as the ideological answer to all questions.
I don't 100% agree with that. doesn't have agency true. not designed not so sure. There are plenty of treaties and other contracts between countries that effect how money etc. flows to countries. world bank and others.
My notes from working at a pentesting consultancy during an internship (in the UK):

- There are plenty of SaaS offerings, but they aren't VC-backed with flashy websites, they are much more corporate.

- Lots of the SaaS offerings are just an automated Nessus or equivalent, and only really look at servers/operating systems, not actual web apps.

- The consultancy side is pretty saturated, but most of them are crap, new-grads, pentesting Java/PHP apps.

- There is a strong market for the trickier stuff – hardware pentesting, pentesting more interesting environments/languages, etc.

- Pentesting is ridiculously expensive, to the point that the startup I work for would never consider it at our size – making that more affordable is a hard problem, but would be very valuable to lots of companies.
> I don't really get the thing about "too flexible". According to Wikipedia there is apparently some myths floating around regarding the science history of epicycles, but I assure there is nothing magical about them - at least they are not any more magical than Newtonian mechanics.

I think we may be talking at cross purposes here, but I wanted to give it another shot. I do not think that there is anything magical about epicycles, and my objection to them is scientific; it has nothing to do with their history. My claim is that a scientific tool is valid science only to the extent that it has predictive power. If your model has so many parameters that, by setting them to appropriate values, you can fit any outcome, then (absent some other data telling you which values of the parameters to use) you'll never actually predict anything, only scramble setting them to 'post-dict' existing observations—which is, effectively, useless.

(For example, any finite collection of observations can be 'post-dicted' by a high-degree polynomial, and we can accommodate more observations simply by increasing the degree of the interpolating polynomial. This is not magical, and mathematically totally sound; but its very flexibility means that it is scientifically useless, because there's no reason to believe that our perfect fit to the `n` values we've seen so far says anything about the (`n + 1`)st value we'll see next.)
There actually aren't. Not as immediate and direct. Occupy Wall Street made a lot of people in power really uncomfortable. Also see the recent president Park protests in South Korea.
One quibble, by definition a housewife doesn't have a full time job (taking care of the household is a full time job). Otherwise good point about outsourcing everything that isn't work.
Selling the service to end customers has a high barrier of entry, in part due to chicken-and-egg problem of reputation and connections.

Doing work for/with someone who is doing the sales part well doesn't have a big barrier of entry IMHO.

According to DeVos, we need it to undermine public schooling by directing tax money to private schools.
In which the real incomes of billions of the poorest people are significantly lower thanks to decades of compounded lower economic growth?

TANSTAAFL.
Globalism isn't so much about helping poor countries as it is a matter of self-interest. First, most nations are not self-sufficient in terms of natural resources, thus they need to trade. Second, productive specialisation and trade results in larger economic output and higher standards of living than could be achieved by not trading and producing everything locally.
Because we still suffer arrogance of various decisions of that company in past (windows breaklines, anybody?). If somebody f_cked you over bad say 15 years ago, would you be friendly to him now?

Btw similar attitude can be expressed towards Facebook or Google or whatever for various reasons, but in my personal view those haven't reached the 'evil' state that MS gained in the past yet.

It's hard to win trust back, and MS has a looooong way ahead even if they did some initial baby steps already. Plus some pure evil steps like forcing Windows update to Win10, and complete loss of privacy. It's really hard to like them, and theirs is the blame...
Studded tires on a 2 wheeled vehicle require real skill to handle. Like near snowboarding levels with generally worse crash consequences (pavement not snow)
SO shouldn't be used as a gauge of popularity of a language or framework. Well established languages/frameworks will not see a lot of new questions being posted there since they have an established set of answers. Newer frameworks/languages will see a lot more activity there building up a base set of questions/answers.

The other angle that SO can misrepresent is that inexperienced developers are using the site more than experienced devs. If you know your language/framework/libraries pretty well, then you are mostly going other places for help like API docs or maybe directly to the Github repo for a library and asking committers since you are much deeper into the language.
All the video games blizzard makes specially Starcraft 2 and Overwatch. They just seem to not struggle in lag department as other games. And for the massive world World of Warcraft it keeps state amazingly compare to other mmorpg's. Plus the networking seems to be a step above most.
Thanks! I forgot a constraint: we must use exactly the digits 1 through 9 (of course, each once). I assume that could easily be incorporated?
Indeed. The emergence of the black and baltic seas 8000 years ago were comparatively rapid events. Escapable, but extremely rapid. Jökulhaups can also have enormous and rapid effects, like the Missoula or Spokane floods.
New to UI Design? Get Yourself Noticed with a Redesign
The problem appears to be how to sort the bad security assessment firms from the good. There are thousands of firms out there that make grand promises, but how does anyone without the required knowledge to not need such a firm know which ones are good and which one are bad. Rather than add yet another firm, it would be better to work on a startup than can objectively sort those that already exist.

Edit. If anyone wants to work on this problem I have a clever way of solving it (I of course don’t have the time to work on it myself).
Looks great on mobile too! Kudos to Paul Graham for tweeting this out.
Good for you. I think you should back up your words & plunk down some cash on some ocean front property somewhere.
Atlassian takes 25% fee. If Atlassian takes 25%, GitHub does, if Atlassian has a marketplace, so does GitHub. But Atlassian makes money, while GitHub lost $66m in 9 months of 2016 ( https://developers.slashdot.org/story/16/12/16/1639222/build... ). GitHub is the fallacy of a valuation based on monthly users (33m) instead of based on actual invoices.

Wouldn't it be better to log that traffic from outside of the client? There's nothing that prevents Windows/Process Monitor from hiding this traffic from an application.
Yup, it's awful. But it's not some nefarious new trap to steal all your data- this has been needlessly difficult for a decade.
I would recommend some Metasploit tutorials on YouTube. There's already a metasploit module for some of the NSA stuff that got released. Topical.
Ask HN: How do you extend a programming language?
I want to know how do you extend a programming language?

For example, if I want to implement new set of operators or introduce the idea of group(a specific method to collect variables and functions), How do I do that?
I don't think the fundamental premise of this is correct although I understand the reason why it's being proposed.

Machine learning will mostly remove the need for UX expertise as it will allow us to worry less about manually interacting with machines as a way to get them to do things. Instead ML will do all the in between interactions behind the scenes and present us with results.

If you think about Machine Learning as a feedback loop where only the input and result become relevant then you are back to something more akin info graphics which used to be called information design.

A much bigger problem to solve UX wise is to think about how machine learning will design things and how humans will deal with the results.

https://twitter.com/Hello_World/status/861735184990961664

In the shown example the result created by ML is many times better than a human could have done but for it to work it also requires the ability to take this design and implement it into real life as the result is extremely complex.

A lot of things to explore in this space but I think we do ourselves a disservice to speak about is as UX.
The problem I described happened many times these last 6 days. I made extra sure it was on silent each time (it was). I was pretty sure anyhow since I pretty much perpetually leave it on silent.

Maybe it's a quirk of this particular model (iPhone 5), or some sort of bug, but it's definitely making the low battery sound while physical switch is set to mute.
What your remembering from the 70's was actually happening then. In Florida 50 square miles of wetlands were disappearing each year. Thing was it was caused by erosion and frankly we changed how water flowed across much of Florida and rearranged a lot of the coast to keep it from happening.

But, this is not just limited to Florida. We now do a lot to keep coastline looking like you're used to. The barrier islands around North and South Carolina are largely man made structures at this point.

However, beach houses are built on stilts and you can keep moving sand so it's not that noticeable. But, the larger context of what's going on is flooding keeps getting worse. NYC for example was underwater in a recent storm doing a lot of damage and largely shutting down the city. Such events are going to become more regular as it goes form Massive storm surge, to normal storm surge, to unusual high tides, to regular high tides. But, NYC is on bedrock so they can use dikes and keep things ok. Other areas like Miami with different geology can't use the same approach.

PS: Also, don't forget, Chicago Was Raised Over Four Feet in the 19th Century. So, if you’re willing to spend a lot of money we can keep building in swamps.
You have the assumption that is will be bad as long as it happens. It won't be bad if it happens slowly. 100 years or a few generations is more than enough to get out of the way. Just look at the population growth in the past 100 years. All those extra people somehow found a place to live and fitted in. We can find them a new place to live just as slowly and just as easily.
How did you become a frontend developer? Did you get a CS degree, did an internship, graduated then landed your 1st job?

Well, if that's the case then this is the answer to your question. How do you switch fields? Forget about CS, it doesn't make you any better regarding other fields. You have to start from scratch there is no shortcut unless you have an amazing network.

So to answer your question, pick up a new field then re-apply the exact same process. Go to school or train for another field. Get an internship then land your 1st job. The main difference is that you should pick something you do outside of work. Don't think about your career, income, etc. pick something you'd be wiling to do for free. If you happen to make money out of it, you'll never burn out.

So the calculations are so simple you won't share them? It sounds like you're worried someone will find a mistake in your simple calculations.
My initial instinct were to agree that while changing the voting system is obviously theoretically possible, it would never happen. Why would the parties vote for solutions that would destroy the duopoly they currently enjoy?

Then I actually researched it a bit, and it turns out that quite a few countries have actually moved away from FPTP. [1] That's interesting, and something to be hopeful about.

Indeed, I design similar equipment for industrial use. Non invasive blood glucose has been a holy grail of analytical technology for decades. Lots of smart people have gone bankrupt trying to solve this problem. The sensors are probably good enough already. Algorithms for sorting out massive libraries of spectral data exist. It's a hard problem. That's not saying Apple doesn't stand a chance, but that they're entering a very mature space.

services like penteston.com will make bank doing this. It should be free, but I'm very biased. It's geared toward smallest pentesting consultants or people who don't know what they are doing. Seems to do a lot of the heavy lifting. Saying nobody has 'bottled' it is silly. People here in YC have done half the work, or will figure out how to do half of it for you as a pentester. The rest is validating those results, which is where a bulk of pentesting comes in.
It's a big piece of it, seemingly.

The US has an interesting constitution:

- First past the post. Such systems tend to favour fewer parties. The UK (also FPTP) barely has more than two parties. In most of continental western europe, there's considerably more, due to proportional representation. On the continent you end up having a bunch of different opinions, and you don't have to squish every issue onto a liberal/conservative axis. For instance you get socially conservative big state parties. Or socially liberal big state parties. Or socially liberal small state. And there's other axes too.

- A separate executive. In the UK even though they have FPTP, they have a government formed by the leader of one of the parties, and they "whip" the MPs to vote according to the party line, subject to various forms of sanction depending on how important an issue is. In the US, you choose two legislatures and a separate president. If they're not in agreement, it de facto entrenches the existing status quo by making it hard to change the law.

The google OAuth flow rolling out now has a more conspicuous account choose. Before when installing/authorizing the app selecting the account was virtually hidden.
Oversaturated as hell. Everyone & their mother that thinks just because they can code or use a computer, they can use metasploit or (insert tool here). There's more to it than that.
My belief is that post-scarcity society with very high technological unemployment and universal democracy are fundamentally incompatible. People who are net recipients from the government, should not vote, or they will vote the society into collapse. Can they ever vote for anything but more free stuff?

Other problems are fixable with more attention/funding to law enforcement, and yes using all the AI toys: crime prediction, drones, etc.
But they don't really function like favelas.
As the economist Bjorn Lomborg has been quite vocal about, we have lots of global problems and fixing climate change isn't the biggest problem.

It depends on the equipment. There's a spectrum from things like oxygen tanks one on end to fitness trackers on the other end. I think a glucose measuring Apple watch would be clearly on the fitness tracker end of things.

So if you force Apple to make iPhone in USA with USA workers and materials then you know the other countries would also do the same and will not buy the iPones or but a huge tax on them, then you get less iPhones made so in the end you don't get that many wrokers/materials used. For Apple case it may be possible that much more money are extracted from non US countries then put from US in those countries, problem is where the profit is spent.
