The providers are responsible for their customer's privacy, to whatever extent is laid out in the contract, so I could see a grounds for some sort of liability there. But I don't see how the company is responsible for their customer's constitutional rights. I would think that that question should be more about whether the government actors can ask for and use that data.
Another example of why explicit is better than implicit.
That's an interesting recommendation that sounds valid. I'm unsure of the user experience - in particular whether a user is likely to be confused by being thrown back to the system unlock. Any notes on non-techies dealing with this in your experience?
With capacity of 10 tons to LEO, 4 tons to GTO, it's somewhere between the Titan II (used for Gemini) and Titan III.

Would have to be a pretty lean moon mission.
humor with the intention of ridiculing something by using its own tropes to the point of absurdity to show the wrongness/badness of the thing is a well-established form of satire and commentary.

a satirist is emphatically NOT in concordance or agreement with that which they are satirizing. I find it unreasonable that you are arguing against this basic premise. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. I hope I am because If I am really understanding you correctly it seems to me like you are making something far worse than a fallacious argument, but really something that rises to the level of destructive of the meaning of words.
Here is the full launch video:

It's gained much more momentum over just the last year from what I can see.
The author provided no context for the sun rising in the west comment, which in every usage I've seen is a metaphor for a fundamental societal shift, not a literal astronomical prediction. The principle of charity applies there too.

The reality that a large number of Gora Sikhs practice the faith they were raised in undermines the new-agey argument, unless one is singling out their actual religion which is centuries old in it's current form.

The only other explanation for the comment is the appalling idea that a person should be ridiculed for adopting the culture of which they don't share the dominant adherents' physical phenotype.
You defeat bad arguments with good arguments. By the way this is the ONLY way.

Silencing those you disagree with will only enrage and mobilize those people, and those people vote. Hence, Trump.
I am also uncomfortable with compliments. About the only praise I can stand now comes with a bonus check attached, because that confirms the [additional] value that person placed on my effort. Even if you're faking that enthusiasm, I still get to spend the money.

Otherwise, if you valued my performance at the cost of printing up a certificate on paper that is slightly heavier and more cream-colored than normal copy paper, and with an injection-molded bit of plastic that has an engraved plaque glued to it, I would feel about $25 worth of honored.

That crap works on my father, though. He likes everyone to know how great and interesting he is.

For me, nothing is worse than getting a compliment when I don't think I deserve one, and if I already think I deserve one, I don't actually need to get any, because I'm already feeling great.
Understood, thanks.
Then don't lie about what you're praising, make it clear and focused on the actual positive.

If you're going to have a ribbon or something, make sure that it's for seeing the task through, for "being there". Not something to try to artificially rival or nearly match 'being the best'.
Yes it's a classic and very well written. When I read this more than 25 years ago it was a real eye-opener and made the workings of recursion clear to me. Curiously acquiring an understanding of recursion in programming allows me to "think recursively" in regard to many other matters as well, so important for thinking "outside the box".

I'd venture that besides recursion, the other key concepts in programming have been pointers and first-class functions. Getting a grasp on these 3 ideas has been essential to learning.

The cost to deploy a Stingray is still significantly higher, which may be a factor.
Here's the full benchmark suite from speed.python.org showing what is faster and what is slower in 3.6 as compared to 2.7:
https://speed.python.org/comparison/?exe=12%2BL%2B3.6%2C12%2...

It would be very hard for someone to say "python 3 is considerably slower". Startup is significantly slower, yes, but that's about it.
>Has this ever been beneficial?

If you want to write secure code it's necessary. Otherwise you just end up with PHP web apps that have remotely exploitable memory corruption bugs because the developer didn't understand that he absolutely has to sanitize all user inputs to certain functions.

>If the code really is horrendous nobody is going to be using it

This just makes it pretty clear that you haven't ever looked.
I'm cautious to say this is a good idea, but I'm also optimistic the private sector would be more efficient than the public sector.
A post's ranking is penalized if it gets significantly more comments than upvotes, because generally this indicates a flame war is taking place.
Sometimes moderators downvote posts that are inappropriate for HN even though people may like the content. This is really important for keeping the community decent because the crowd does not make good decisions for the future of the community. My guess is the post encourages an anti Harvard circlerjerk or something stupid about memes.

If you've been on Reddit for a while, you would understand that the moderators having that power here is a good thing and that curating content is the only way to keep an online community from becoming a sensationalist hellhole.
From my reading, it appears off of any standards track it might have had -- it remains something Apple made up and can change however they like.

Which would be a great reason for not implementing it in an open browser.
Blue Ocean Strategy
I have no idea and for all I know, dropping it wasn't a choice of the moderators but a mistake or an unforeseen outcome of some algorithm, but if they did drop it on purpose I support the decision. There are countless other websites to debate that stuff on, I would rather have fewer of the incendiary, purely political discussions make it to the front page of HN.

Come to think of it, I do recall hearing something about how HN's algorithm nukes topics with tons of commenting but not very many votes, so it is probably that.
Apple File System coming to mac as the default!
HN seems to do this with some regularity. I have made similar posts once or twice, noting how a link that is less popular in all metrics is substantially above another.

Mods almost surely have a weighting button, though I don't know if your question is affected by it.
Yeah, pretty much. There was an application process to go through as well, but if it's your trademark it's pretty much yours. (Though who knows when the next round of application opens..)

I believe we own our TLD as well, but don't use it, yet - it's for brand protection. If you have a look at my comment history and deduce my employer, you might understand why with our name...
We punish speech all the time, in certain limited and well-defined ways, and is not particularly controversial. Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exce... . Threatening someone with bodily harm can be punished, as can libel. These don't cover this particular case, but your statement is vague enough I think this response is warranted.

In general, it's important to note that the separate between speech and action isn't as clear cut as you assert, especially speech made in a public forum. Speech affects others, and words can be used to cause others pain or discomfort. Speech has direct consequences on others just like any action, and this must be considered. Which isn't to say that speech doesn't deserve broad protections, of course.
That's a shame. I think many people honestly forget to upvote an article but will comment.
On a similar note, it's safe to assume college admissions officers are checking social media profiles, so prospective students should make sure to scrub all high-risk (read: republican) political affiliations and statements from their profile, and maybe pile on some PC-friendly ones.
I keep a text file open in my text editor and set up a macro to expand `tt` to the current time, so I end up with entries like:

02:52 AM - 03:24 AM Plan

03:25 AM - 03:37 AM ProjectX

04:16 AM - 05:17 AM ProjectX P

At the start of a day, I rename the file to the day's date, eg. 20170605.md and archive it. I can write scripts to figure out things like how much time I have spent on a project over the month, years, etc. Also things like how much time was productive (the trailing P).
I would argue that Trump is a manifestation of the exact opposite, that no matter how good the argument is, it won't beat a bad one.

Freelancing Trends: Insights on Finding Clients, Setting Rates, and Landing Gigs
It's well documented that the overall catalog is shrinking (http://www.businessinsider.com/netflix-catalog-size-shrinks-...) and has been for some time.

You can't replace quality content with mediocre netflix originals. At best, 4 or 5 of those you listed are watchable, while the rest are just space fillers, trying to distracted from the loss of a huge number of popular shows.

Hulu, Amazon, HBO, etc all provide more quality content per dollar than Netflix at this point.
Video has always been DRM free, if you know where to get it. DRM does not prevent people from pirating. This has been proven endlessly. It only hurts paying customers. Even in the 80s I could get a DRM-free copy of a movie because the DRM had been stripped out.

I never said that video wasn't always available DRM free. I said that the content distributors never distributed the video DRM free.

I should be able to do what I want, with my software. If it's not my software, great, don't give it to me. As soon as it hits my device, though, it becomes my software. Your legalese does not change that.

It is your software. Just like a PS4 game is your software. When you bought the software you bought it with known compatibility constraints. Why would you expect commercial proprietary software to run on hardware that they don't support any more than you would expect a PS4 game to run on an Xbox One?
humorously; google for "kale grub eggs" -- and it returns nothing but recipes!
Quoting a release note from 8 years ago to represent the current state of the project is disingenuous at best.
Are you not in control of your PS4 software just because it can't run on an Xbox One? In either case the software you bought was not designed to run on your chosen hardware.
this will fly likely under the same rules as red light cameras which send a ticket to the owner regardless of who is driving. you "car/phone/spirit/thoughts" were there so you are considered there.

going to be interesting if the government loses the case if rules and regulation are pushed through Congress mandating availability. they could try to declare it public property since it does pass through public airspace/radio space. all sorts of angles they can push. (its coming, just when and with what protections for our privacy will be most important)
Yeah that reply was stupid. I understand good commit.messages are needed but to fully understand the code - READ all of it. Sorry.
I didn't see an anti Harvard bias in here. I think it was a useful discussion on social media use and its impact on society. Certainly HN worthy.
I don't have a favorite, but this is the one I have gifted most.
I don't think you'll see anyone arguing that 3.0.1 was a good version of Python, but we are talking about 3.6 here.
Making Photos Smaller Without Quality Loss
I think your concern is actually going to be the same on all platforms. these days we work in a lot of repos. a lot of services that depend on services. almost every one I work in now has its own environment set up. each Python project has its own version of Python. Java projects can share a jvm but get all their own jars. a few services only run in docker locally so it can do further set up. with this in mind, I don't see anything running natively for work anyone. it's always going to be packaged up in a manager/container/vm. the times I do have service specific stuff at an OS level it's actually bad and bites me later on
x265 makes me the _most_ excited. The faster it goes mainstream the smaller my Plex library will get. Thank you Apple for pushing things forward again.
And also (I say this as a left-wing/liberal), I myself want to have a space where I can just say what the fuck I want, without consequences. "It is not my revolution" if I can't say idiotic things in private.

This wasn't particularly private. There had to be some sort of invitation, but it wasn't like the participants all knew each other. The offline analogy isn't a few friends over your house for dinner, it's speaking at a birds of a feather session at a conference.

Do you think Harvard would have rescinded the acceptance of an admitted student, if one of his high school friends forwarded a one-to-one email the admitted student had sent him which contained one of these memes? I tend to think not.
I wonder if this also signals, perhaps, a withdrawal for an Apple TV.
I've used both extensively. In my opinion Flask is more suitable if you want everything to be exactly how you want it to be. A Django project won't ever be as clean and minimal as a Flask project. However, if your focus is on getting shit done and delivering stuff then Django is much better. Especially django-admin is a very practical tool.

Caveat emptor: It was about three years since I used the frameworks last and much can have changed in that time.
Yes. Free speech only applies to government censorship, not what private individuals or institutions choose to use to filter those they care to listen to, associate with, or otherwise give the time of day to.

Likewise, privacy isn't really a concern here, since it isn't like the organization broke into their accounts to check up on their privately held conversations or beliefs. It was posted into a group with many other loosely associated members, and was brought to the organization's attention.

In your gum spitting example, it's like spitting out gum in your back yard behind a privacy fence versus spitting out gum in your employer's parking lot and having your boss step in it moments later. It's not private, and it may have consequences.
I can't imagine a more painful concession than requiring that Amazon be forced to include a competitor's eBook platform on their device if they want to use an app store. I don't think that's hyperbole at all.
I too look forward to the grand efficiencies that can only come from upholding share holder value above customer safety. Flying will be so much more exciting.
>The state gets more taxes from your higher-paying job.

That's if you accept the higher-education-as-training model. Under the higher-education-as-signaling model, the primary effect of education is to choose how to allocate a fixed set of high paying jobs. If there's 100 slots for new lawyers this year, then the difference between sending 150 and 151 students through law school is an additional unemployed lawyer.

But this isn't web development, this is a native-ish app. One certainly doesn't need to us JS to make a native-ish app.
The thing that makes that one praise at the table meaningful at all is the fact that there had been dozens of times the kids behaved just as well, or mostly as well, but the parents choose to not make a big deal about it.

The same argument works for negative reinforcement as well. The most convincing argument I have heard about avoiding harsh rising of children has nothing to do with the intrinsic rights o kids. Instead, it points out that one day, not that far away, you may find your teenager consuming drugs, or engaged in unprotected sexual intercourse, or commiting petty crime; and if by then you have not left yourself enough room to escalate short of corporal punishment (or not even that) then you might find yourself in a fight that you cannot win a hormone loaded young person that never learned to respect you and surely won't start today.

So, I think this has a lot to do with signal to noise ratio. Whether you praise or you demean, the point is to make it rare enough to be noticed when it happens. I did not always do it that way, but I have got better results when I began following that advice.
agreed, even a little surprised, that it wasn't a Harvard pile-on.
I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think the situation is to be as censorious as possible. Such things tend to backfire (this is my favorite explanation for the rise of the alt-right), and there's a good chance that the humor was meant ironically (as is all dark humor), not sincerely. If we must punish hate speech, can we at least make sure it is actually, meaningfully hate speech?
When did we decide efficiency was the goal of air traffic control? I want the thing to be effective and reliable, efficiency is way down the list here.

"what's the difference between spending Bitcoin that would otherwise appreciate 5% value per year, vs. spending dollars, thereby foregoing the opportunity to invest in a 5%/year mutual fund?"

Risk. The decreasing yield of mining ensures that the future value of bitcoin will appreciate (assuming demand stays flat). There is no risk that supply might suddenly increase.
Then why use electron? Electron's entire purpose to let you use JS to build native-ish apps. If you want to use a typed system, then use a typed language that supports apps.
I'm simply not having children unless I have a reasonable plan for alternatives to age-segregated schooling. The entire system is deeply, fundamentally flawed, and definitively not in the best interest of the child.

Like most recreational sports like triathlon and marathon have finishing medals. It feels ok when you get it, but clearly people getting these don't think they are winning anything.
Salesforce somehow manages to house 7000 of their employees in San Francisco, and Wells Fargo somehow seats 8000 of theirs. Nobody is suggesting that Google should move all of their people to SF, but I am suggesting they should consolidate into larger offices in the centers of principal cities: San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland.
your presentation was visually interesting.

it was also a bit slow to load, on my machine anyway,
maybe due to my typical dozens of tabs in dozens of windows...
but i'd explore whether the .svg approach was the offender.

of course, lethargy won't have any impact in the course of
actually presenting the thing to an audience, but there is
much value to be gained by the after-the-fact mounting of
a presentation on the web for later consumption by others,
who will thumb through the slideshow at a much faster pace.

this is also why a presentation full of bullet-point slides,
void of the accompanying speech, is not very compelling.

so even if your show does end up being a little bit slower,
i think that's offset completely by your step-up in design.
Based on the numbers wound that signal a rather weak algorithm trigger?

I believe education lies beyond the walls of a classroom.

One anecdote: i once taught kids multiplication and speed with walking and running as the base exercises... They understood in no time,
of course tech could have helped making it easier but there is hardly any tech which the children conceptualise,would be great though

The community is not divided anymore. Anybody who knows wants to use 3. Anybody who doesn't is told to. The only people using Python 2 are now people stuck with legacy code base. It's an important part, but the situation is very clear.
Python 3.0 was released December 3rd, 2008, 8.5 years ago.

I don't really remember all that clearly, but my recollection is that numerous caveats were made fairly clear (like the new IO not being optimized and so on). I guess something needed to go out the door but I wonder if the biggest mistake was calling that release the 3.0 release (rather than something that would have better tempered naive expectations).
