It's easy to ignore because even Sanders proved himself a sellout in the end, and the people who control the purse strings similarly don't pay him or his ilk any real attention, because they have the power to stop him or anyone like him from doing anything substantial.
This is an online service that makes it easier to authenticate to Kibana on AWS.
AWS only supports request signing and IP whitelisting as authentication methods.
With this online proxy, you can store your IAM credentials and log in with a simple password.

What do you think about it? Feedback is very welcome.

I think the service is useful for a small niche, but I am afraid that it doesn't communicate that well.
IMO, trip insurance mostly makes sense if you have a large non-refundable pre-pay in which case the insurance is also covering you if you have some injury or other covered reason for not being able to go. There are also some trips that have a greater probability of injury and expensive evacuation, e.g. treks in remote areas.

Some argue that you should always buy it because there's always the possibility of bad things happening that could be very expensive. But personally I (like I assume most people) am very selective.

I like this perspective, it's the right balance between privacy and effective policing. If the data persisted over a long period of time, you could use it to determine where someone travels and subsequently what activities they engage in and who they are connected to.

As for automated law enforcement, I find it just creates a private market for subversion and doesn't really improve safety (e.g. many GPS systems will warn you about speeding cameras placed along the road so you can slow down in time).
It's more than a small convenience. It's a big feature that we can use when designing traits and APIs.

The thing for me is, I never watched it for the contact. Its always been a rooting interest type of sport and if I wanted contact I'd go watch boxing or MMA.

The thing they don't seem to get(The NFL) is that most people don't care about the hits and they could eliminate them. I'd watch highly skilled athletes from my university or city play FLAG FOOTBALL at the highest levels of skill and athleticism as often or more often than I watch them now.

We need to think a bit about why people watch team sport as a society and realize that if flag football was the highest level we'd ever known we probably wouldn't lose a viewer.

Skills are skills and team rivalries and rooting interests remain regardless of whether its hockey or football or whatever.
It is, but the initial claim was that this would basically convert the millions of rupees of black money that's hidden away into worthless paper. That was the promise on which millions of poor Indians were asked to stand in long lines—that even if it inconveniences them, it would inconvenience the rich and corrupt even more.

Clearly that did not happen.
This is true, but it does mean we have drag people past thinking about free speech strictly in terms of the 1st amendment. All too often people respond to a situation like the OP with "freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences" and consider the discussion over. Parent poster has clearly experienced this.

See also: Marsh vs. Alabama. Relates more to platforms like Youtube and Twitter but is still relevant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_v._Alabama

Marsh v. Alabama, 326 U.S. 501 (1946), was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court, in which it ruled that a state trespassing statute could not be used to prevent the distribution of religious materials on a town's sidewalk, notwithstanding the fact that the sidewalk where the distribution was taking place was part of a privately owned company town. The Court based its ruling on the provisions of the First Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment.

> and get pay checks that many would trade even more of their health for.

In addition to the other comments about suppressing information. They have led you to believe this is the case. You should really find out how compensation in the NFL works because it is mindblowing. Do they get paid more than most bluecollar jobs? Absolutely.

A lot of NFL contracts are back loaded and the NFL tries everything in their power to make sure their players don't see the full payout. Most of the non-famous players are paid weekly and can be cut at any time.

MLB and NBA players have much stronger protections when it comes to salary.
Pragmatic enough that he bought a third home with all of that tasty donation money....
The starter decks are pretty solid actually. I come from a very aggressive magic community (in terms of play style, the people were super friendly), but every so often I was able to out do them. These are players who have dedicated years and plenty of cash to creating their decks and honing their minds for the game.

Occasionally, careful planning can be beaten by a good hand. ;)
It's an exaggeration, yes, but it does correctly summarize how I felt when I had to work with node.js code bases before stuff like promises became mainstream.
> Football is such an intrinsically contact sport that I don't think a safer game would even be recognizable.

And yet, rubgy and Australian football have just as much contact and do not suffer from an endemic injury problem.

Maybe something related to the padding?
"They are just getting too big and have too much information."

Don't you find it funny how an article about Google "losing allies across the political spectrum [in America]" would not even even mention the fact that Google is one of the main spies on the online behavior of Americans?

I guess everybody must be ok with that, because it doesn't seem to be important to the criticism that Google is getting.

The message from the critics as portrayed in this article seems to be: "Spy all you want, as long as you don't try to control what we say or compete unfairly."

Is that a fair way to characterize the position of Google's main critics?
Plenty of people like the hitting in football, both people who play and and those who watch. Lots of people have complan about how quarterbacks are protected nowadays. In fact, I've never heard a football fan say they would like to get rid of the hitting. Not once.
> WA would have much better infrastructure

Supply and demand does not care whether your state votes red or blue. You've put forth two common misconceptions here -- one stems from a lack of economics training (that increasing prices always increases revenue), the other is naive (that the more money the government receives, the better the results).

If WA raised taxes (analog -- prices), demand decreases and fewer people like me move there for the tax benefits. More immediately, fewer large businesses headquarter there. Residents spend most of their money in WA so this reduces sales tax receipts, and transitively, the entire WA money supply. In the immediate term, it's obviously going to raise their tax receipts significantly. But in the long term, the effects could be quite negative, eventually even reducing inflation-adjusted tax receipts, if they really mess things up.

> Per Logic of Collective Action, the reason tax regimes should be normalized (local, state, national, international) is to minimize cheating (defecting).

Exactly what I disagreed with in my original post, but I guess we can agree to disagree... I do not think it is cheating to go somewhere that more efficiently spends your tax dollars. I suspect you think you would rather live in a society where you do not have as many choices.

This is because defensive scoring opportunities (turnovers) are so valuable in American football that defenders are pushed to do whatever they can to get the carrier to fumble, and this usually means launching themselves "at the ball" every time.

Tackling the ball itself and not the player.

Whoa, long time since I've seen such a clearly misleading / politically charged headline on mainstream media. TL;DR Apple comes out for net neutrality.

He's pretty polorizing. I don't think I could vote for him.

How about a well know centrist? That's what our country needs.
I did read the article, thanks for asking. Doesn't change the fact that those 3 persons I mentioned are opposition leaders. And hence I don't take their (Singh, Chidambaram and Dikshit) words at face value. I'm not even questioning Singh's credentials as an economist.

Edit: I didn't realize that you mentioned 5 people in your comment. I stand corrected on that account.
An interesting point: it's not at all clear to me that Schmidt actually made any statement about funding.

This says "Schmidt, she said, was threatening to pull his name and substantial funding from New America in retaliation", but previous articles have said that Schmidt simply mentioned his displeasure and Slaughter took care of the rest.

I'm not exonerating Google here regardless; calling the head of a think tank (as opposed to, say, the essay writer) to express displeasure is obviously a display of power. But it's interesting as a taste of how authoritarian behavior works.

Schmidt couldn't have ordered the article spiked, and he would have looked terrible if he expressly said "I'm pulling funding if you criticize Google". So instead, he calls and says "I'm unhappy about this article". And Slaughter, not being an idiot, recognizes that she got the call for a reason and needs to act. If she hadn't been so blunt about her internal message, everyone could have quietly insisted the firing was "for other reasons" and left the whole point unproved.

In one sense, the news story here is that an explicit message was sent. A sensible person ought to expect that soft power and unstated implications cause similar consequences every day.

I learned about Qadium last spring. Not sure how under the radar they were then, but I heard about it through a referral of a referral working on cyber risk.

If they are able to credibly provide a baseline for number of connected devices and percentage that are vulnerable, it won't be a huge step up from zmap, but it could provide some interesting data for security pros, regulators and insurance. Not sure how they get to the part about vulnerability of devices.

The cyber kill chain provides a nice jumping off point for a hierarchical model, but the kind of data necessary to really flesh it out is just so damn hard to find at the quality levels necessary.

We have plenty of alternative sports that don't offer the hits, they just haven't gotten as popular. I would argue that goes against your point.

We have the equivalent of "think tanks" with real intellectual rigor, they are called universities. Yes, you can take issue with the way that university research is funded, etc., but tenure makes a difference.
Mathematics is not a language. Your question is like asking if database-backed web applications are typed.

Mathematics is often expressed in language, That language us usually a mix of a human natural language English/French/German/etc plus symbolic extensions, and that is very poorly typed.

In the recent failed proof of P!=NP, the flaw was a type error:

https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/38803/is-norber...

Type errors are rather common in math proofs that end up retracted.

But it's hard to call them type errors, because it's not like a computer program where the typechecker detected the collision or failed in some way: the proofs make very little mention of types at all, and it's up to the readers to apply a type-system from their own heads.

Right, I tend to avoid any non-required warranty or insurance due to expected value of the coverage being negative.

That said, if you've been planning an African Safari for a decade, and everything is pre-paid to the tune of $20k, the $100 on trip insurance is probably money well-spent! For example, I did a long motorcycle trip where I paid $250 for a year's worth of medical evacuation coverage, which was nice peace of mind.

Of course, the more "stuff" a policy covers, the more expensive it is, but you bring up a good point about pre-paid expenses. My last trip was on airline miles, with $25/night AirBnBs that could be cancelled the day before.. train tickets weren't bought until I was in-country, and naturally no food/drink/museum entry/subway passes were prepurchased.
That's not weird. Navionics presumably had your email address. They then likely uploaded that as part of a list of customers into what FB calls a "Custom Audience List" and promoted some post to that audience.
Does this description of Typescript match up with the experiences of others? Typescript is usually spoken of positively on HN, so I was surprised to see it:

> The main thing we didn’t like and we still don’t like about Angular 2 is Typescript. I know Angular 2 can be used with Javascript but again, the decision to use Typescript was already taken and from what I understand, using pure Javascript with Angular 2 is not the ideal way you should be using Angular 2. In any case, getting rid of Typescript meant a full rewrite of the project.

> I didn’t feel Typescript added substantial value and even worse, we noticed that our coding speed was reduced. With Typescript things that were really easy to do on Javascript like defining a simple object were more complicated to do on Typescript. I highly recommend you to read the following articles before you start using Typescript. It is not the right solution for everyone.
It's also possible to be a forgery. Forgeries run rampant in the world of antiquities.
It's more than that, in the NHL at least.

Why are scuffles around the net tolerated? They are disgraceful. Almost every game you will see someone get punched or cross checked in the face with no consequence, as long as it's after the whistle or the victim is an asshole. Which leads to my next point.

Why is general assholery tolerated and even celebrated? There is a thing called sportsmanship and there is none of it in the NHL until they put someone on a stretcher. They bang their stick on the boards for 5 seconds then it's open season for the other guy.

Why are fights only 5 minutes penalty? Any other sport they would get suspended for even half attempting to punch someone. The NHL and PA say it's some sort of anarchy-on-ice bullshit but we all know it's because it sells tickets and have otherwise poor players make the cut.
It just surprised me I guess - without looking deeply at it I saw at least two "levels" of street workers, along with some smatreringnof online and mobile booking that smelt of enough tech to "qualify" for VC, with a lot of competition in an industry that does not strike one as profitable - new bikes being rented with what looks like an eye on turnover not profit just "smelt" VC.

Clearly my radar needs updating
Or if this site was written properly, the moderators could merge the two together and edit in a note as to why.
Out of all the internet giants, at least to me, Apple has time and time again demonstrated to be reasonably ethical. Their position on encryption, net neutrality (granted, a bit late), gay marriage, their willingness to fight political positions which they disagree with... It could certainly be improved in many ways, but it's still one of the few companies I somewhat trust. Their innovative character is also something I really like (again, granted, it used to be much more so in the past).

I used to feel this way about Google too. Given the current events, I don't anymore, and I'm seriously considering DuckDuckGo.

>true but I don't see a whole lot on that front in the JVM world either. There's a few libraries that pop up here and there, but most Java work I've ever seen is done using existing tools and frameworks, unfortunately.

I still don't understand what the problem here is. Can you explain a concrete business problem you were trying to solve and found Clojure inadequate for. What was the scenario where you couldn't find a library for a specific task, or couldn't solve a problem because the language was deficient.

>I look at it the other way around: In an incredibly short time span, NPM has pretty much covered every library that the JVM has.

Threads is a great example of something that Java has and makes a huge difference in the developer experience. Having to chain async calls for every single thing you do is absolutely insane in my experience. Following code becomes a lot harder, debugging is a nightmare, and passing errors around has to be done explicitly in error prone fashion.

>From a technical perspective, Node is probably inferior to JVM in most ways, yeah. But not in ways that matter significantly.

See above.

>Lately I've been considering social aspects to be a lot more important than technical aspects, though.

Sure, let's talk about social aspects. Clojure community is primarily composed of very experienced developers and that directly reflects the quality of tooling and libraries available. Last I checked Clojure community is very active and it's not going anywhere. It's used at places like Amazon, Boeing, NASA, and Walmart for mission critical tasks. I certainly value quality over quantity here.
> Yet, in practice, the cost of maintenance often dwarfs the cost of initial development.

However, funding the development is sometimes harder than funding the maintenance: You need the system to operate in the first place in order to get the benefits/money/revenue/etc.

Once the system is in place and brings benefits, it is easier to fund further investment on the system, be it maintenance, extension,etc.

I grew up in Pittsburgh watching Steelers football. My dad died a couple years ago and it helps me feel close to him. He played football in college at a D1 program, but luckily didn't incur any brain trauma and was incredibly sharp until his last moments.

With that, I just can't stomach the damage this sport does to its players, all while the NFL continues to try to sweep the issue under the rug. I think I should stop watching and implicitly supporting this sport until something is done.

And sure, players are probably aware of the damage they can do to themselves; however, humans are bad at evaluating long term risks. I'd bet that many players either consciously determine that 'it won't happen to them,' or they ignore the risks in search of a big salary.
New America is a think tank and civic enterprise committed to renewing American politics, prosperity, and purpose in the Digital Age. We generate big ideas, bridge the gap between technology and policy, and curate broad public conversation. Structurally, we combine the best of a policy research institute, technology laboratory, public forum, media platform, and a venture capital fund for ideas. We are a distinctive community of thinkers, writers, researchers, technologists, and community activists who believe deeply in the possibility of American renewal.

Very hard to argue against free speech with a mission statement focused on ideas, research, and "public conversation"

For fun, the Open Markets division in particular:

The Open Markets program at New America was founded to protect liberty and democracy in America from extreme concentrations of economic and political power. We do so by researching and reporting on the political and economic dangers posed by monopolization—in the United States and in the international system—and identifying ways to reestablish America’s political economy on a more fair, secure, and stable footing.

Google gave money to a non-profit with an anti-monopoly division and then got mad when the anti-monopoly division praised anti-monopoly legislation that just happened to hurt Google.
