Agree with this. I've had a couple of questions on Elixir & while I use SO for looking up answers to other languages, for some reason it never even occurred to me to ask Elixir questions there. Possibly because the folks on Elixir Forum & the Slack channel are incredibly welcoming. They also have areas specifically for those questions you know/feel are very beginner noobish levels.
Mike from Percy[1] here, we're one of the 4 Continuous Integration launch partners in the GitHub Marketplace.

Behold President Trump and the mysterious glowing orb
I don't disagree on this, but the mentality of pentesting (as I have seen it conducted) is wrong. Typically a firm wants to find a way in, and snatch the Crown Jewels. Once they achieve that, the level of effort goes way down, and they often leave a lot of surface area unchecked.

Or maybe more succinctly: they are incentivized to find SOMETHING quickly, rather than EVERYTHING.

I think it can help if the testers are internal and not quite under the same time pressure / engagement limits though.
Yes it's a pretty disturbing message that actually goes against the ACLU's opinion on free speech.
Also it worries me I'm seeing more authoritarian traits in silicon valley elites.

Those who make peaceful protests impossible make violence inevitable.
You can buy the ticket and the costumes, show up, and hide in your camp the entire time. I've seen people do exactly that.

The ticket and the costumes just give you the opportunity. From there it's up to you to step up and create your own transformational experience and explore new ways of being yourself.
Even an online life without facebook and twitter is still fun. I think we're at a point where social networks are kind of pointless. At best, they're an easier to use alternative to the rolodex/black-book and email client. At worse, they make it harder to keep tabs on actual friends and family. So, I think everyone should weigh the effectiveness of their utilization of such products rather than being driven by fear of not being fashionable (leave that to the teenagers and celebrities).
Or actually mean free market when we talk about "free markets". That is, we should make it very clear that the market rules shouldn't change to benefit specific corporations.
> I think the fundamental problem you have here is that you're assuming you're on the unemotional side of the argument.

You had me . . .

> Actually, you're proposing the anti-science, knee-jerk cruelty of the American system, which is as far from a rational prison system as a first world country gets.

And then you lost me. You pack a lot of shallow, sloppy thinking into that second sentence.
We can also teach them to recognize clickbait.
Yup, adalimumab is another name (naming of biologicals is weird). That data suggests about 500 people in the UK are on Humira; a bit lower than I expected, but I gather they only prescribe it as a drug of last resort.

However, if you click to get map data in the second link you give it's really weird. There's basically no subscription in most of England, but very high in a few small pockets, and not in any sensible pattern (e.g. if you scroll back a couple of months there's none in all of London, and these items are prescribed in a very regular way). Maybe this search somehow doesn't get all the data?
I would call this a mix of consumerism and marketing failures.

People used to buy CPUs based on how many Mhz they advertised, but Mhz is just a proxy for what you really care about: performance. This resulted in sub-optimal CPUs like the Pentium 4.

At the same time, I don't see why anyone would trust a "headshot" benchmark; that seems too subjective. For gaming, consistently high frame-rates of accurately rendered scenes might be a goal; GFLOPS is just a proxy.
Got it - still I've had to use laptop - I would go with one of Chromebooks with Crouton or System76 laptops
Not won't share them, just want you to put in the effort to do them yourself. I am not mummy to tell you how to count on four fingers. If you are so lazy that you cannot take the time to do them for yourself then so be it.

They are simple enough for you to do, so do them and then come back and tell me that I'm wrong. I have given you enough information that, if I am wrong, you will be able to simply refute my end figures by you doing the calculations.

Consider it an exercise in helping you practice appropriate mathematical processes.

I should add that it took me about half an hour to collect the relevant information and do the calculations.
The ACA is great. Sure as a self employed person i can't afford the maszive premiums, ($22,000 a year for a $5,000 deductible) but I simply don't pay premiums. If I, or anyone in my family, gets seriously ill one year, we can sign up for ACA coverage at year end and they can't refuse us because it doesn't restrict pre-existing conditions.

And until that happens, I let the suckers pay premiums.

Edit: Corrected my misuse of AHCA.

So she was lied not only by doctors, but also by her parents. She was underage so doctors didn't have to tell her, and couldn't tell her if parents prohibited them... soo... yeah doctors lie.
Thank you Microsoft! Everyone will start licensing your technology so that now there will be only a single point of failure. And, because you're Microsoft, there will be a failure.
No, this is how it is reported. The context is a hostile press, which he snubs in general. Trump did not answer the question.

Who asked Trump if he leaked classified information, in which interview? Anything specific? Or selective reporting?

> He was asked if he leaked classified information and responded by defending his right to do that

He was defending his right to [release] classified information? He does have that right, but:

"I have the absolute right to [share] facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety"

I can't see the mention of "classified" in that particular statement.

So to summarise; the press claimed Trump gave the Russians classified information - Trump nor McMaster has confirmed or denied this. The press heavily imply this means their original claims are right, but again, the burden is on the press to prove their original claim, by their original source; you don't just get that as a reward for making unverified claims. My original point is no one has gone on record to affirm it, it's just insinuation games.
"Naica Mine" brings up some results
Ah okay, makes sense.
Check out the book "Deep Work" by Cal Newport.
I thought Google's Project Aristotle [1] nailed the problem.

TL;DR: They propose two traits of an effective team. First, long term everyone speaks about the same amount even if the meeting to meeting amounts differ. Second, there is a general awareness among team members that if they take interpersonal risk (i.e. say something that may turn out to be wrong) they wont be embarrassed, rejected or punished.

And I think this paper's results fall in line with that train of thought. If "risky"/creative ideas are shot down on sight your sense of psychological safety and probably your average amount of talking is going to take a big hit over time.

While I'm a very long time vi user, and I'm completely at home with the keybindings, I could never get into using "set -o vi". For me it falls into the uncanny valley of being quite like vi while not actually being vi.
Why haven’t I read the proposed proof of a famous unsolved maths problem
The interplanetary file system [1] comes to mind. Not direct comparable to TFS, but its feature set could inspire a local file system, too:

- historic versioning (like in git)

- deduplication

- authenticity through cryptographic hashing like in block chain

- distributed delivery like bit torrent

I don't think, that we need another ZFS or btrfs competitor. Just my 2 cent.

I'm not sure I've heard the claim that adding capacity actually makes traffic worse other things being equal. It's more that, as you say, people will time-shift, take alternate transportation, take a different route, move, change jobs, etc. to keep a commute under a particular time.

It's sort of another version of the "work expands to fill the time allotted to it" maxim.

And if it's not commuting we're talking about, some people will just choose not to drive into a city for dinner, etc. because it's too much of a hassle.
That is supposed to be Apple's strength though, isn't it? They never do anything first, they just do it right first.

> If you declare that no one should get rich off of bread because it's A Basic Necessity, you're going to find that the bread biz is going to stagnate while endless innovation happens in the Twinkie and tortilla chip biz

This is simply false.

We've declared water A Basic Necessity, such that clean water is piped into everyone's home, by the government, at effectively zero profit.

And yet, there's still over 100 bottled water types and brands, carried at almost every retailer nationwide. There's 6 dozen flavoured water types, there's an entire industry of water pitchers, water purifiers, carbonated water drinks, and much more. Clean Water is now a crazy innovative industry in large part because we made it a covered fundamental human need.

You absolutely can declare housing A Basic Necessity, and it wouldn't hurt any meaningful industries, it wouldn't prevent any innovation, and it would largely improve the finances of most citizens, strengthening the economy at large.
"Easily" is relative. If you work in a union friendly state and are in a union, cause usually has to be documented and there is often an appeals process. You may also be required to provide an opportunity for the employee to correct their behavior (which they have to document). If they fail to do that, you can dismiss them, if they succeed, you have to start over again when they start screwing up again in a year or two. Pros and cons. I'd rather have the protections of a union than not, but it also allows people to abuse it.

In a Right to Work state, you can generally be dismissed very quickly for very little cause, with little recourse.
This Is the Best Way to Do IoT Broadcasts
The 'idiot light' is not based on miles, but on how much oil is actually in the engine. There's a sensor in there that if it touches air, essentially, the light goes on. You can trip this on certain VWs if you turn very sharply & you are low enough on oil.

I'm talking about the "Service Required" indicator/message that appears in the central info display, not the "Check Engine Light". Two different things in the VW, Lexus, and Jeeps I've owned.

I'm a software engineer, working remotely, and still prefer face-to-face conversation over phone or internet-video chats.

I'm glad that our representatives meet to discuss things. If they didn't, I imagine there would be more miscommunication about what's best for America than there already is.
Being born in a third world country probably blinds one to some issues though, as they don't have a historical basis within the US for comparison -- they only compare with their own country.

Of course the US wont be a "third world country" anytime soon. But it can regress closer to one than it was before.

That said, there are places in Mississippi, South Dakota, Alabama, Colorado, the Appalachia, etc. that are not that better of (if at all) than some developing nations.
A full set boolean queries, while useful for specifying a query, are likely far too computationally expensive at scale. The reason you don't see most major search engines abandon them is because the resources are better spent investing into heuristic algorithms that benefit a majority of the userbase.
You could also ask: Is the market saturated with electronic calculators or guitars. It's depend on what you do with such a tool and if you are able to decide between the several variations.
And sure there experts and there are experts. Some are better to impress other are better in doing.If you make a good and honestly job you will not fail. Mostly.
Actually, Google has published papers and have presented talks (many of which are available on Youtube) on the type of gear they have developed. I don't know what their latest versions are, but recently they were using OpenFlow style infrastructure to provided fine-grained control (security, balancing, analysis) over flows through out their network. OpenFlow style constructs also provide a micro-segmentation style control (ie distributed firewall) over ingress/egress of traffic at the individual container/vm port level.
use self::itertools::join;

This is the free function version; leave it out. I haven't tried this myself, but I'd bet that's what's going on; https://docs.rs/itertools/0.5.6/itertools/trait.Itertools.ht... is different from https://docs.rs/itertools/0.5.6/itertools/fn.join.html, though.

Ask HN: Should I use OpenVPN or Algo?
I've used OpenVPN to tunnel to my home office when out on the road for about a year with great success. However, there's a new kid on the block and my googling suggests it is more secure and flexible. Which is more secure for an intermediate user? Use case: I typically connect with a Macbook and an iPad.
The work by Hayashi published last year had derived precursor egg cells, but the sperm was from normal mouse testes as usual. As described in the article, they did successfully create healthy offspring, though the success rate was very small.

Not invented, right (but I didn't say exactly that). However in the context of Sgt. Peppers:

According to David Fricke, the album was a major influence on The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Paul McCartney regarded Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as The Beatles' Freak Out!

Can you?

With the American primary election system, legislators are driven to cater to their most extreme constituents. With transparency, they can't work across the aisle AND also win a primary. At least with pork barrel, they get a tangible thing to point to while campaigning to attempt to appease constituents.

Facebook was the one who started the OCP (Open Compute Platform) concept. Quite a number of companies have climbed on board. And there is a yearly conference in the March time frame in where quite a number of companies get together and show hardware based upon the open standards and concepts developed through OCP.
>Americans love capitalism because it is the best system known to distribute resources.

Well, as far as "distributing resources" goes, Swiss or Nordic capitalism (which Americans would call "socialism") is far better.

Ask HN: Best way to find an IT job in Canada?
I am a software test analyst currently working in the UK. Being doing this for around 7 years now with experience in fin tech and utilities fields.

Currently looking to find a job in Canada (have been looking for a few months) but it is proving very difficult i.e. nobody responds.

Anyone recommend the best way to find a job in the IT field in Canada?

Sorry but Paul Krugman is biased trash.

Requiring employers to shop for and provide health insurance is only going to complicate the already complex system and lead to crappier less competitive outcomes.
It was an intentional decision, not a bug:

Yes, it's not like the ACA isn't stunningly badly designed. I used to insure my family for $400 a month until it banned the use of pre-existing conditions for determining rates, and now the cheapest available insurance is $1800 a month, which my family can't afford.

Remember when Obama said we could keep our existing plans?

Edit: corrected my misuse of AHCA.
Well, if the issue is some "cyberattack", then consider how many Android users would have died...

If anything, here's where the "walled garden", signed and sandboxed, etc nature of App Store makes much sense...
I feel the same way. I may try and implement some Kotlin on my next Android project, but I don't have a compelling reason to merge it into anything existing. Plus, I find Java just fine to work with.

Swift was a giant improvement on Obj-c, imo. It was apparent in every way when I first looked at the language. I'm not getting that same vibe here with Kotlin.
Demographics is destiny, so yes. Particularly demographics of the youth.

If you import your population from 1800-Ireland and 1800-Germany in the 1800s, in 2017 you end up with a country like 2017-Ireland or 2017-Germany. In other words, pretty nice.

If you demographically replace the existing population (and what, precisely, was wrong with the existing population, such that we have to replace them, other than their race?) then you end up with the immigrant's country, but located here. Surely Somali in 2117 is not going to be a paradise, likewise USA in 2117 will be the same as Somalia, no paradise, thats for sure.

There is no magic dirt. Anglos taking over Hawaii didn't turn anglos into Hawaiians. Anglos taking over the midwest USA didn't turn the anglos into native americans. Likewise the replacement of native cultures with imported cultures means the annihilation of the former cultures and replacement by the invaders. The USA will be a moderately poor Spanish speaking hispanic nation. Europe will be a moderately poor Muslim caliphate.
I find Socialism quite a broad name and depending on which shade we look at it through, it can mean collectivism, absence of a free market, centralized decision making, bureaucracy, and the potential for an authoritarian administration.

A Welfare State on the other hand covers the things you mentioned, and has fewer negative connotations. I'm saying this here because the state providing a minimum welfare guarantee to its citizens should be an unquestionably accepted idea, but the confusion with socialism often undermines it.

> I don't have the data at my fingertips, but IIRC Seattle housing prices were historically lower than SF, but higher than Portland OR. I think that could make it hard to assess the effects of bringing more housing on line in Seattle, at least comparing to SF would be misleading. However the history of housing costs in Seattle might be informative.

Not sure why you think historical prices matter one bit. Seattle is proof that you don't need San Francisco prices to continue building. Developers from LA and SF can and regularly do build in Seattle where prices are lower but regulation is less obtuse, and many times they end up using Californian general contractors who prefer higher utilization over higher rates with more downtime.

> The problem in the building industry is that financial commitments are made years in advance, meaning even if things are in a slump, units may be built anyway because the project was on track to happen well before the slump came about. It's also occurred that units are constructed just before a slump hits and as a result the completed units sit empty, the developer goes bankrupt, etc. Overbuilding can and does happen and it can take many years, even decades for a property to finally break even.

Overbuilding may occur, but units don't sit empty. They always end up renting out, until the rent is so low that they can't cover variable costs like maintenance. If the rents aren't high enough to cover debt servicing, they'll still rent out...the owner will go bankrupt, they'll lose the property and the lender will take a loss, but the property will be sold by the courts at a price where someone can make money off the current rents.

Despite what you may think, developers will continue developing if prices move downward. Downward price movements primarily impact landowners and lenders, not developers. If developers see downward price movements, they start bidding less on land.
That incarceration rate is there to keep the blacks off of streets and away in prisons. It's the modern form of slavery and one in three black males will be put in prison once in their lifetime. Not sure that it has anything to do with evolutionary biology and all with a fear of a black person.
To be fair, that's just Kuenssberg. Plenty of more leftie stuff too.
I wonder if that is based on Knights of the Forty Islands, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_of_Forty_Islands ... sounds like a great map, there are some similar ones in 0AD (play0ad.com), it's quite a challenge when the resources are unbalanced on each island and you need to figure out which one is worth the gamble to explore/exploit.
how is this related to technology?
It seems to me that our social norms – including women foremost expected to get an education and a career – are inevitable moving our societies in the direction of artificially creating babies, if we want to survive longer term. To an extend this process have already begone with screening babies for disabilities and other invasive fertility treatments. Soon this will involve screening for a variety of hereditary diseases. And from there why not go the next logical step and improve the human body by modifying the genetics?

This is currently meet with reservations in much of the Western world due to history, but it is doubtful that will China or India will show the same hesitation. On the contrary their population might view it entirely positive, who doesn't want to have a tall light-skinned son performing well in school. In such a scenario we will be forced to partake or be overtaken.
