That's an interesting question. I think there are pretty big bubbles that have formed in terms of ideology -- that clouds perception of the greater country/world/etc. For whatever reason, that annoys me. I don't really know why.

Other subjects, generally, don't have an ideological bubble around them.

Another user on this thread is saying I will get banned for my comment, which is a good illustration of how the problem is exacerbating.
Some great pictures from the climb: http://elcapreport.com/content/elcap-report-6317-special-edi...
As a fairly experienced climber, this is a very difficult route; one that only the most elite climbers can free climb. But, free climbing it isn't necessarily rare and even as Honnold did this free solo, other parties were camping on the wall.

There's little data on this sort of topic, but I'd estimate that less than 0.25% of climbers achieve the level of physical skill and technical expertise required to free climb Freerider.
> It doesn't matter how much education you have

Critical thinking, on the contrary, can be learned.
Not sure were that was stated (or even implied) but since you ask, no, particularly with the modifier "anything other than".

We are born in blood. And we return to mud. That's the essence of our beginning and our end. Nobody likes this. So, we sanitize with (very important) abstractions. To make it so life is more than a reptilian struggle. To allow civilization, working collaboratively, a degree of security, care for the weak, all the things that make it possible to transcend the law of jungle and live beyond our biology. But the underlying reality doesn't go away just because we have abstracted on top of it. People sometimes forget why abstractions are important. Or, sometimes they forget there is a hard reality underlying.

The nature of the abstraction named "commerce" and the nature of the abstraction named "human interaction" is that of give and take. Not give and give. And both abstractions depend for existence on trust, on integrity, on honor, and on the willingness to part with something in exchange for something.

Point being, sometimes it takes getting down to primal gut level emotions to understand abstractions are abstractions, why they exist and how they relate to underlying reality.

Along with integrity and self sacrifice, respect is an important virtue that seems to be increasingly lacking. It won't be for long. These things will come back again because they are vital to any useful abstraction layer.
Yeah, good point, somebody pointed out this on the github repository. Do you have any idea of which license I could use instead?
Yes, that's what the poster above you said.
Asimov's poor dialog, writing style, and character development were recognized from the beginning. His writings stood out because of the ideas they contained, which admittedly are not as impressive 50 years later because they are not new anymore. Similarly, William Shatner's bad acting does not change the fact that Star Trek caught the imagination of a generation.
I'm sorry about your friend.

However, your statement about trad climbing is inaccurate. People project hard trad routes all the time, fully expecting to fall.
But people have a reason to know those abbreviations, just like Unix programmers have a reason to know names like "stat" and "fctnl" and "ioctl".

Even if free climbing this route without falling once is well within someone's skill, free soloing it is likely not. It'd require serious mental preparation.

The hardest & most valid exam I ever wrote used the same technique. Every single question on the exam was novel. I flipped through each page looking for something familiar, got to the end.

The class required about 30 hours of homework per week, but we were told we could do it while walking, showering, etc.
Not that I have any idea what actually happened but hiring someone at a low level, who seems kind of unreliable, allowing them access to something who's leakage you might not care about, letting everything play out the way it did, seems like something a spy agency would be reasonably adept it.

The women was a contractor, not an agent, so they aren't sacrificing someone they've invested in. etc

Again, what actually happened, who knows?
Relatedly, "Mathematics for the non-mathematician" is a great book that talks about the stories of math: history of how certain ideas, techniques, and discoveries happened. Recommended to anyone that wants to learn / review math in a more story-oriented way.

I got started by bouldering at the gym, which is an incredibly fun physical and mental challenge. It's all low-height (sub 15') climbing without any ropes over soft pads so you can fall without hurting yourself. After a couple of years I've built up the confidence to start rope climbing, but I know plenty of climbers who only boulder.
I don't think the poster was implying that they don't do anything, just that they are working on something the public doesn't know about.

The real question is: did senior people in HR have to walk? If they did, you can feel reasonably confident their replacements won't repeat their behaviours. I'll remind everyone that we're talking about an HR department that repeatedly lied to its employees and did their damndest to shield bad people. If that isn't fixed, you can be guaranteed it'll happen again, whether or not another Fowler decides to do the world a solid and go public.
Well, one thing I noticed was an inconsistency with "thy" and "thine". Which one you use depends on if the following word starts with a vowel, with "thine" before vowels and "thy" otherwise. For example, the article has "in thy own case", as well as, "output thine data". Some investigation seems to lead me to believe that this a more a matter of style, but I still think it sounds wrong.

I think on potential problem is that your brother may be able to do some things that are in a legal gray area. This happens a lot in many countries, but you don't want your name on the company if something goes sideways.

Also, there are many climbers more skilled than Honnold at climbing hard routes. Honnold is not even in competition for climbing the hardest grades.

However, there is no one close to him in his confidence and security off-rope on difficult grades.

Aside from mad rich, how about basic income? Everyone has some employer in their past they loved but having to borrow money from dad to fix my car was so not cool. If I could feed my family and provide medical coverage using a basic income maybe I'd go back to "cool employer" lifestyle.

My kids are moving out "soon" and I won't need the expensive house in the best school district anymore, I wonder how many people would downgrade life a bit with a basic income. I won't need the best school district for 4, I'll just need somewhere safe for 2, probably much cheaper.

I get it that a BI means poor people get to eat, and thats very nice, but it also means something to me too, which would probably be a purely fun job.
All the big John Deere tractors are drive by wire. The steering wheel has no mechanical connection to the wheels. We (I'm an employee of Deere, though of course I don't speak for them) do some things I cannot talk about to verify that only authorized devices can steer the tractors. How to do this has been given to at least one university interested in self driving tractors - after verifying they will take care of that knowledge (exactly what this means I don't know)

I think part of the response you're getting is that "I don't care" is still vague.

It could mean you don't find it interesting or relevant to your life. Or it could mean you don't think sexual harassment is morally wrong. Or something else.

For example, I could say that I "don't care" about cholera deaths in Africa. I think it's a tragedy and hope the situation improves, but I'm not seeking out news about it or basing life-decisions around it. I "care" but I don't really care... at least not to the point that it changes my behavior.

Then again, I'm not jumping into discussions on cholera stories to tell people how much I don't care about cholera deaths. So, it feels like you're trying to make some big statement, e.g. taking a stand against "political correctness" or claiming sexual harassment isn't morally wrong.
What I find interesting is that the email from the Gmail account on the work computer was able to be intercepted and logged. What mechanism might they have used, an SSL proxy with a pre-loaded root certificate? How long is this data logged?
This route, called the Freerider, has been free climbed by a lot of people. It is arguably the easiest free climb on El Cap. That being said it is out of the range of most climbers. I will assume you are not familiar with climbing grades, here is an overview:

http://www.coloradomountaineering.com/2012/01/guide-to-yosem...

The Freerider is rated at 5.12d. This is a grade that most people will struggle to attain without a huge amount of training and effort.

Also, keep in mind that the route is very long and takes most people multiple days to complete. Honnold did it in under 4 hours.

Can you elaborate?
After the mandated increase in pay and W2 obligation, a lot of people just shuttered their home care businesses. Now the employer is no longer in business, and the employees are left jobless.

Would there be similar results if the minimum wage increased for low-skill jobs? McDonalds employees want $X, but McDonalds can just build those autonomous cashiers which are already all over the place here in Miami. Suddenly no more jobs for people.
I followed homehero and some of its competitors movements for a bit. Home care is not an easy business, and there are many local vendors in any given community.
There's always this argument as to whether going "full stack" (providing the workers, technology - the full solution) is a better option in healthcare than just providing a software product for clients to start using. The argument Kyle makes, that is worth noting, is that existing homecare agencies started deploying software more readily than homehero may have anticipated.

Thay being said, some of the messaging and marketing may have been off as well. I found it odd when they started advertising their workers as W2 heros, or something to that effect.
Sooner or later you've gotta decide who to believe. The person with nothing to gain by reporting it, or the company with everything to gain by denying it.

Question. Does DO log access to a clients vps in some way if they do not have the cloud firewall product?

In other words if a VPS has traffic to http https ssh ftp and so on coming in from all over. Does DO have logs that show that traffic where it's coming from and where on DO it's going to? Or does DO only know who has spun up and requisitioned the VPS?

(Same question for the firewall product as well).
> Could many good free climbers do what Honnold did, but just like the added bits of safety?

"Many" people climb that route with protection.

However, to better put this in perspective, it is plausible this feat will not be repeated for decades, if ever. I would qualify this as the greatest sports achievement of all time.
> it's a solution that can't be fully cross platform.

I call B.S. on that. There's nothing stopping Apple from creating an API that anyone can register with, or even providing an XMPP gateway to allow completely non-Apple platforms to connect.

Apple is choosing to keep their walled garden isolated. It's absolutely a choice.

> Large companies can afford to spend the resources on a custom, more cross platform-y solution.

On scale: Cross platform is cheaper than coding twice. Small companies "dedicated to iOS" are Doing It Wrong. In 2017 it should be considered a best practice to use cross platform development environments for any app development. Between React Native, NativeScript, Xamarin, and yes, even Ionic/Cordova, there are a ton of great options, and there's no compelling reason for 95% of apps to go completely platform-native. And it's worse: Environments like React Native make it cheaper to create for a single platform, much less two platforms. And additional features and ongoing maintenance are also half as costly. It's a win-win-win situation.
That's... a vast (and very inaccurate) over-simplification.

Ask HN: White Labeled SSO for Developed Apps
I'm looking for a white labeled SSO experience that I can use for applications that I develop. Creating user management screens is a waste of time. I know there are cloud IAM systems. But I'm not sure if any provide a white labeled experience for all aspects of user management. User creation, organization hierarchy, organization admin creation, user self management, optional 2-factor setup, etc. With a clean API for quick integration into any apps I build.

I mainly want to do zero UI work for all things user creation and management related. I hate building auth screens and user management screens every time I build a new app, and I want the SSO experience. White labeling is not a requirement, but would be nice.

Weird programming analogy that works for me: it went from being a library to being a framework. For your life.

As in, Facebook used to expect you to have to come and poll it. There was information there about the current state of things, and that information was replaced when people updated their status et al. You had to look, and look often, if you wanted to keep up. It was addictive, in both the good and bad senses of that word.

Today's Facebook is active, making your interaction with it passive; it keeps up to date on things for you, and notifies you when it thinks you would be interested in knowing something. You're the delegate module. You don't talk to it; it talks to you. You never actually have to check it or look at it.

Actually, for another analogy: today's Facebook is almost like a secretary. (It'd be one for real if it could guess your intentions well-enough to automatically accept/reject event invitations.) Like a secretary, there's no reason to go bother them. Nothing useful to be gained by polling. Zero addiction potential.

If he started as a competitor, he would likely did out that he needs a lot of people on non programming positions.

Also, even if you managed to do similar with less people, it still would not be enough unless he would also be willing to break the law as uber is known for.
Of course not. I'm saying that once we have a machine that can build any material using nothing but energy (the Star Trek replicator, basically) and once we have sufficient access to for lack of a better word, infinite energy, then material goods no longer have value.

Capitalism is built on the idea of scarcity, once scarcity is obsolete, I see no reason why Capitalism would not also be obsolete.

Example: Platinum is a valuable metal because the supply is limited and the process to acquire more is difficult, costly, and dangerous. If for example you invented a machine that could turn, I don't know, wrought iron into platinum, then the value of platinum decreases. So, once you have this deus ex machina that can create matter from energy, anywhere, at any time at very little cost, then any and all material goods that were once scarce and therefore valuable now are worth whatever the energy cost is to get them made by the replicator and no more.
It's only out of the 200 or so reports they had, I think a lot of people didn't bother because they didn't think it would be taken seriously. Once it's clear it might actually work more will come up
Spring Cloud Services Config Server Users: HashiCorp Vault and Multiple Repos
I think tanderson92 is claiming that the source was actually identified via other methods, so the material provided by the Intercept played no role in identifying the source. Hence the Intercept did not accidentally reveal their source but is being portrayed as such in order to discourage people from leaking to them.

Personally, while that scenario doesn't sound impossible I think the likelihood is being overstated due to motivated cognition: if you like the Intercept you would like to believe they did nothing wrong, but in reality people do make mistakes.
I hear you on a lot of these issues, and as someone who uses Apple everything, I too rely on GDrive. But my girlfriend pays for the 200gb plan and loves it. She doesn't know what a root partition is, and she doesn't want to understand how syncing works. She just wants her stuff to be everywhere as she has come to expect it. This is where Apple shines. I wish they would open it up a bit to allow power users to really fiddle with it, but I would argue that they nailed the intended functionality which is specifically to abstract away all of what you mentioned.

Excuse me, sir or madam. You seem to have accidentally included sexual harassment in the category of "minor things."

I think he misses the point entirely.

His business only worked if the country continued to insist that the vulnerable (elderly) can subsists off the backs of the disenfranchised and disadvantaged (home health care workers). Even if he won, the world would be a significantly worse place for it.

The problem is that people are entering their later years without an appropriate safety net. Demanding that a subset of Americans work in poor conditions or at a discounted rate to cover the gap isn't OK.
