Don't try to negate his point with a Godwin flag. This is not about you or your posting intentions; it's a fact that data like this can and has been used for precisely such purposes in many instances.

Yeah yeah, that'snot what you are about, but citing your own comfy idealism to avoid dealing with unpleasant realities is exactly the mechanism that political bad actors seek to exploit.
I totally agree with you in this regard, and the point of my comment is not that we should blame them, but that it's silly for them put on this facade of being morally responsible.

If they were to simply say "we're just selling stuff, and what people do with these tools is none of our business" I'd have a lot more respect for them. But instead, they say this stuff about only selling to goverments that promise not to do anything bad. It's a joke.
While I think there may be something to that pov regarding "whiteness", I think that pov about masculinity is quite wrong.

"Masculinity" is an appropriate idea, and masculinity is not a bad thing.

There may be some cultural associations with masculinity which don't need to be there, but I maintain that there is a sense of "masculinity" which ought to be recognized as appropriate in some circumstances (primarily among people who are male)
I completely misunderstood the headline going in, expecting something to do with the "current times voltage" sort of power and wondering what sort of gruesome experiment electrocuting brains was going on.
> Most likely the changes they measured are good for the group's survival.

Unless I've missed something it seems much more reasonable to assume that the changes they measure were good for the leader's reproductive success, historically. That's a very different thing though...
Rain is no problem, I commute everyday in the rain (SF Bay Area). I could see it being a bigger issue when I lived in the midwest and had much heavier thunder storms and might not want to be biking but I would usually walk or take the bus. Snow is definitely more of a challenge but much of the danger is due to poor infrastructure, the snowplows pile the snow on the side of the road which removes what was left of the little space bikes have on the road. You can get studded tires for bikes if its icy.
I had exactly the same problem ... I was disappointed especially since the DHT11 is something like a super common standard sensor that is used in nearly every maker 101 course.
Yes, "default ethnicity" might be a better term for what I am referencing than "white". Thank you.

It's worth researching, and indeed 50+ years ago, other communities were scapegoats. How and why these shifts is important.
Yup - did that, and it was a lot faster on an Archimedes A310, I recollect minutes rather than hours and that was without the FPA unit.
erikpukinskis, did you read the article? There isn't a single mention of race (at all). The article is about people in power start making bad decisions, and it's clear this is not restricted to any single race/gender group. see: any conflict, ever, in any country.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but it doesn't seem like your comment is responding to the article - it's responding to the headline, and you're projecting some things onto it and responding to them. Please don't do that - it's what we see on every other news forum/website, and it degrades the quality of the conversation.
And yet it is one of the highest bike rates for a major city in the US (having fairly good weather for biking certainly helps). So far, more and better infrastructure has led to more biking, just like you'd expect.

Plus, with the steady rise of ebikes, hills are only going to matter less and less over time.
While cycling is obviously much, much cheaper than a car, I'd argue its a myth to say it's 'free'. Start commuting a _reasonable_ distance regularly by bike and you are going to incur running costs, as well as often not insignificant investment in essential accessories you might need depending on where you live - clothing, panniers, lights, helmets, locks...

There's a fair amount of things on a bike that, like many other mechanical things, can need looking after to keep running well - new tires and tubes, CO2 cartridges if like me you are too lazy to manually pump, chains, cassettes, lubricant, wheels (eventually), brake pads/discs. If you don't have maintenance skills for adjusting things like derailleur cable tension/brakes you will probably need to budget for shop servicing too. It's often considerably more than non-cyclists expect, and often scales with use. If you ride regularly in foul weather, many of these items need attention much more often - there's nothing like road salt to prevent ice for causing just about everything on a bicycle drive train to rust if not cleaned off.

Not doing essential maintenance like chain replacements usually just increases costs in the long term - worn chains in turn accelerate wear on the cassette etc.
> its way easier to park than a car

On the other hand it’s also easier to get a bike stolen than a car.

Well, women enjoy many privileges versus men. For example, men are profiled by police after violent crimes. They are more likely to be sacrificed in war, to be homeless, to be in prison. Women are ushered into clubs without paying, while men have to get $300 bottle table based on their gender.

If any of the above was done by race, it would be an outrage today and obvious racism. So, does that mean, in some aspects, you can just manipulate symbols from the article and claim women have similar forms of brain damage simply from their being a woman?
If I jokingly suggested to the gov that AWS S3 be categorized by all firewall vendors as "Anonymous File Sharing", would I get a yuge response?
You're right, the domain wasn't cheap, but we had it prior to YC. We bought Solve.com at my last company (n/k/a StudentBrands.com) for a math-related product we were going to build, but we decided to focus elsewhere and didn't use the domain. Anyway, we were able to work out a way to use it in a way that worked out for everyone.
Not the first time they did it. Now they have been on "IoT" and "Machine Learning". Beforehand it was about "NUI" and "AppStore". Before that they also tried in other areas. What happened to their cross platform endeavor with the XDK?
I travel a lot and to many different places and I can say no, this isn't a useful service to me. A local SIM card yes, and those are the first thing I do upon arrival at airports (I have a pouch of 30 or so I keep as momentos).

My wife was just in Accra and received an Android device like you described at her hotel. My advice to her was not to use it for anything that involved logging in, because honestly, that just sounds shady.
I'd hazard a guess that most people don't differentiate between race and ethnicity.

I'm not sure why you'd conflate the two, to be honest—understanding your race is fairly necessary to understand how you're viewed in the US, and how you might be expected to behave. Understanding your ethnicity is an entirely different thing—e.g. legally, nobody cared if a person was french, german, or english if the question was 'black or white'. But you might care.
To me what you hint at is that since the 15th century, europeans were into the imperialism race. They were the most recent and largest default ethnic group.
Yes, the people grant the power to Congress. If Congress chooses to not use that power, then the people can put new congresspeople in office.

By your definition, passing laws is a privilege too, because Congress can choose to not do it. Perhaps that's correct usage of the word privilege but I don't really see it
What is KeePass Professional Edition? When I Googled for that the best thing I could find is "Professional Edition" on this page: http://keepass.info/download.html

Is that what you mean? It looks like it's written using Mono for non-Windows platforms. I might have shied away for that reason. What platform do you use it on? I'd love to know if it works well on non-Windows platforms (OS X, Linux).

Comparing Clojure and Brutalism
Right, in Japan you don't need dedicated lanes quite as much because of the narrowness of the streets, plus it being accepted to bike on the sidewalk when there's room. And of course density being high in Japan helps.
You're implying that all white men have a sense of entitlement and power, an assumption that is racist and sexist, much like saying black people all like watermelon or women all are overly emotional. You're blurring the line between cultural differences and racial differences which, if left unchallenged, lead to discrimination. There are millions of white men that aren't in a position of power or don't get ahead because of their skin color. In fact, due to affirmative action policies, if anything white men are being pushed out. What makes you think white men are privileged when as a whole, they've been seeing a decline in income?

Edit: to those downvoting me, could you please explain why?
I ran all the usual suspects (memtest86 etc) for 24 hours after I built it, not had a single issue in 2 weeks under Linux (Fedora 25) though I've seen people having a lot of issues with various RAM configurations.

I went for 32GB of Corsair Vengeance over 2x16GB at a conservative timing (the newer beta bios for the mobo I have supports more memory options as was as clocking) since it's a machine at work.

> In this respect, nothing's changed in Mongo

I honestly don't understand this though.

MongoDB is a schemaless, document database. That is exactly what it was designed to be and one of the big reasons people are using it. And many of us aren't working with relational data.
If you look historically, “white” was still the label of the default ethnicity, but people that today we'd think of as “white” (and who would fit the use of “white” as a racial identifier, as in fact Hispanics quite often do) simply are not thought of as “white”, but rather as some distinct ethnicity.
Google Drive (especially to expand Gmail storage)
Yeah, and that's a Bad Thing. Turns out our institutions do not magically immunize the USA from authoritarian ideologies or operations, which is rather worrisome because if the USA were devolve from democracy to dictatorship then there's no other country that's going to ride to the rescue, so the likely outcome would be an extremely unpleasant civil war.
It gets a lot lower effort than downloading a list, popping it into Excel, and sorting on a column (really, how many non-techies would do that?). Get on the subway, find girls with brown skin, start screaming obscenities, pull knife when confronted, murder.

Look, I don't want to minimize the impact of hate or harassment on victims. It really is terrible, and should be challenged whenever possible. I do want to inject some realism into the discussion of the likely consequences of this breach. The people who would go out and harm other people because of their ethnicity or religion don't particularly care if they get the ethnicity or religion right. (I'm reminded of a time when I was carrying my wife's purse while she went shopping in a nearby store, I walk by a pickup truck, and the guy inside is loudly muttering "Fucking faggots" over and over again. And then I met my wife in the parking lot, give her a kiss, hand her back her handbag, and he laughs a big "Ha-ha!" of relief and drives off.)

And the people who would do mass harassment over the phone have much easier ways to get this data, like e-mailing their state voter registry and asking for it.
[I was the original author of much of html5lib]

Yes, http://speed.pypy.org/comparison/ has html5lib parsing (an old, static copy of) the HTML5 spec as a benchmark. It's about 3x faster than CPython, which is to say, still very slow.

I agree there's a good argument that writing new parser code in C is not a great idea, but I don't think it's possible — or at least easy — to get reasonable parsing speed in pure Python. My ideal solution here would be bindings to a Rust parser e.g. html5ever, although there is a tradeoff there in terms of ease of distribution.

The main missing feature in html5ever for these purposes is the ability to construct the final parse tree in the rust code (c.f. lxml), without which the performance bottlneck becomes constructing the Python objects to represent the document. Of course a streaming API like SAX can be even faster, but often isn't all that useful.
I'm guessing you don't live in a bike friendly country.
I believe the word you're looking for is "kiosk." :)
basically its easier to go by bike than walking in NL when there is snow. Bike paths are cleaned up way faster than anything else :)
There are many factors, but IMO it has a lot to do with urban sprawl. I'd never consider living somewhere where I'd have to own a car to be able to do my groceries and to go work. In the same idea, I'd never take a job that requires me to do more than a 30 minutes commute by public transportation/biking distance. That makes me a perfect candidate for biking, unfortunately I'm more of an outlier. Most people, including my own family, would think that this way of thinking makes no sense. They all own a car (or two) and have an hour commute each way to be able to afford a bigger house/different lifestyle than they could in the city. Just look at any suburbs: the inhabitants clearly disagree with me.

I don't assume that sociopaths just want to pick on individuals. I assume that the ambitious sociopaths drawing up plans for ethnic cleansing are the people who compiled this database in the first place.

Bitcoin Is the Most Stable Store of Value in History
Mailing lists are kind of terrible beyond a certain point of complexity. First, they lead to a lot of self-spamming, with internal conversations. Second, if you're not on the thread, you'll never see it. Email depends on enormous duplication of data.

And in practice, at large companies, forced expiration is used to control email storage space, in part because of the duplication.

So at very minimum, you want something threaded like email, but stored in a single location, so storage/duplication/deletion aren't problems, and indexed searching is available. This also allows things like tagging someone into a thread after it already started.
mod_proxy_http2 is still experimental though :(
First of all this is a great service, and congratulations on the launch.

But...

After checking I am a bit disappointed:

- Istanbul: $235.00 Not including "Fast Track Immigration/Customs" for 2 passengers
you can get local fast track card (I think it is around $500 for a year) which grants fast track on immigration/customs and also for all security checkpoints for 2 pax

- Amsterdam: $345.00 Includes fast track vs Privium Basic €121 yearly incl. VAT

- London: $220.00 Includes fast track vs AFAIK it is around 50 GBP for fast track for one time

Also I think if target is business travelers, a lot of airlines provide complimentary fast track for business class travelers. I don't recall not using fast track when flying business.

TBH I dont think Meet and Assist has big value, unless you provide some added value there.

Also at least I was expecting some lounge access on departures.
None of these costs have anything to do with location. It was the same when I lived in Copenhagen - arguably doesn't get bike friendlier than that!
A general purpose computer, or a very locked down thin client. Like the world of AOL users.

Supporting a fork, or even a patch set, is a lot of work. Especially if you know full well that it's never going to be accepted upstream.

And unless you support it solidly and long-term, nobody would really use it: paid support from Ngnix is much less risk.
The research does not support this article (surprise).

- The researchers primed subjects on "power" by having the subject write an essay about a high, neutral, or low power situation. It's not clear that the intervention maps to what the article calls power.

- The researchers did not find statistically significant differences between the low power group and the neutral group. They also did not find significant differences between the neutral group and the high power group. If the neutral group varied this much, are we tracking meaningful differences?

- Is reduced mirroring "damage"? Is reduced mirroring necessarily undesirable? We have no idea.

>?A careless programmer makes a bad choice and the CEO has to go to jail? Come on

An institutional failure of review, testing and security that will lead to tens of billions of dollars of identity theft goes unpunished completely?

Come on.

A CEO is responsible for his organization. If you ruin lives, you have to pay the price.

Can't handle the heat?

Don't take the job.

I hate how CEO's get hundred million dollar parachutes because, the risk and danger and difficulty of such a position warrants such extravagant pay.

But, then, we ask them to be responsible, bear responsibility for the organization which paid them a hundred million dollars to be responsible,and we say "come on?"

Utterly ridiculous.

CEO's bear responsibility for their organizations, or the organization should not exist. There must be responsibility for private organizations, lest the concept of private organization be nothing more than a cheap trick to remove criminal and civil liability from wrong doing.
So what assets do you have on the ground at each airport you serve? Do you really have offices at all those locations? Or are you just a booking agent for the companies with those shady-looking web sites?

I think it needs to be mild, flat, and dense. And then AFAIK the government made a concerted effort to exploit those traits by building good cycling infrastructure.
Oh no, not snow!

> Not many cities can boast 27 percent of cyclists continue using their bikes several times a week all year-round, especially not in cities with eight and half months of winter or an average of 256 days of thermal winter and snow. Oulu, Finland (population 191.000), however, is no ordinary town. It is a town where 98 percent of the cycling network is maintained all winter and all routes have street lighting.

With the right infrastructure and services, snow is no obstacle.

I primarily rely on resets, oddly. Drives me crazy when folks think I will actively try to remember a password that I do not use daily for more than a few days. If you have my email, you have everything you need to let me initiate a reset.

Which, I fully cede is also a single point of failure. Basically, I think we have plenty of weak links in the chains. I'm not too keen on codifying any new ones. If you have something that increases the strength of everything, I'm game to try it. And I am highly interested in studies that look into different strategies.
I live in Brazil and commute by bicycle daily, 10.5 km each way (6.5 miles, mostly cycleways).

Not without problems however: the air polution in Sao Paulo recommends against physical activities, the cycleways are of very questionable quality and the Pinheiros river stinks as hell.

I can spot some capybaras (they are like giant guinea pigs) in the morning, have to dodge their excrement in the cycleway (they shit like a horse, no kidding).

No. I don't stay at hotels, I stay at airbnbs. Most hotels / airbnbs have Wi-Fi, so you don't need the separate device.

I'd rather just have a SIM card. I buy these at the airport anyway.

I believe this has nothing to do with the workplace. The same thing never happened on email.
If the workplace or culture would have been like that then, a group email sent by the boss/CEO would have solicited the same response.

On Email always worked like, it was email, for those it mattered, they responded and rest carried on with their work.
Super cool!

Dubai airport has a service called 'marhaba' which basically does this but only in Dubai.

It's great for helping someone who is older or disabled figure out their connecting flights through an airport.

Smart to bring this to more places.

Your pricing is pretty spot on too, it's a bit less expensive than marhaba btw.
To be sure - and in fact people seem to debate the idea that the same bridge would even be built at all these days. It was apparently quite the political undertaking.
I wonder if this is a common feature of leaders rather than a degenerative disease. Very competitive environments make way for sociopaths to get up to the top more frequently than normal people.
I think non-cyclists underestimate how much headwinds slow you down. Wind resistance is proportional to the square of (your velocity + headwind). It's a major factor in cycling speed, which is why velomobiles can be so much faster than normal bicycles. A strong headwind feels like riding up a hill, and flat terrain typically has stronger winds.
The issue isn't that a user can run their own code that can stack smash, rather that a user can exploit the smash to run their code in a privileged context (set-guid, i.e. sudo, su, etc.).
I went through a similar process recently, and ended up getting the Spindle: https://spindlemattress.com/. It's also an "assembly your own" latex setup, although instead of shopping for layers individually, they sell 3-layer sets. I'm pretty happy with it.

I liked that the layers stay separate - you can break the mattress down to make moving easier, and you can replace layers individually, if you ever feel the need (with a 30% discount if you buy from Spindle again inside 25 years).
