Recently, after some corporate IT crap required handing over my laptop for a weekend, it came back with a post-it note attached that said "your caps lock key is broken, let us know if you want a new computer."
But it is exactly what you said. "Human capital" was conceived in analogy with physical capital as the stock of knowledge and technical ability embodied in human workers which can be used to produce wealth.

What else you wanted it to be?
Is there any evidence that Manning was able to express herself at such a high level before becoming a public figure? I can't help but suspect that someone is just using her name for their own political ends.

> The simple approach is to simply add a children() method to the interface and implement it in every kind of node. Very tedious, and boilerplaty as hell.

The best approach without boilerplate would be to generate this at compile time, not runtime. You could use an approach like in http://hannesdorfmann.com/annotation-processing/annotationpr... to create at compile-time, using reflection, a ChildWalker class that accesses the relevant properties for every class annotated with @Node. At runtime, the JIT should get this down to a vtable lookup and field lookups - just about as optimized as you can get.

EDIT: Always remember https://xkcd.com/1205/ - if it would take 5 seconds to write each children() method, and you write no more than 5 Node classes per day (amortized), then you shouldn't spend more 12 hours writing the code for this blog post ;) Unless, of course, that was the point all along!
> there's a gain in both wealth and employment if some of those chaps get organized and start fixing windows.

This is the core of the fallacy. There'd be more net wealth without breaking the window in the first place, leaving the guy free to spend that money on someone else's goods/services, who would cause the exact same amount of growth but you'd still have a window.

Spending that money that would have been spent replacing broken windows elsewhere may even generate jobs for the guys who are slack.

You can never stimulate a growth of wealth by destroying wealth. If you're saying the window is already broken, that's not the broken window fallacy.

>It prevents clients from using me as a bank.

Not clear what you mean by this, please explain.
posting my response above but I am with you...
Is the answer ever to release all of the firms data about all clients to the public, including ones who have completely legal and legitimate business with the firm? Because that's what Manning did.
I read this, as a recovering addict that went through my own hell mostly from alcoholism, and wondered where the "science" part was?

For instance this sentence "More than 13 percent of its participants died after treatment,1 mainly of overdoses that could potentially have been prevented with evidence-based care." The argument is that they "could" have been prevented but how do they really know that? How many people in general die of an overdose after X number of stays in a rehab? Through my own experiences going to rehab, I have known of many people who die. The fact is you can't predict which people will "get" it any better than you can predict if it will rain next month.

I also disagree with this notion that being on suboxone or methadone indefinitely is a legitimate solution. Like what? You're advocating to stay on a drug the rest of your life? That isn't recovery at all, it's a band-aid that will likely lead to relapse and promotes a perpetual notion of being sick.

I also disagree that their supposed evidence that CRAFT gets twice as many people into rehab has much relevance. How many of those people relapsed? How many of the people that didn't go to rehab ended up overdosing OR recovering? We don't get the whole picture so the "evidence" is mute.

They knock 12-step which is fine but it turns out that it works for millions of people.

There is no silver bullet here.

While I have mixed feeling about the "tough love" approach, I can tell you from personal experience that the only reason I'm not buried right now is because at a certain point the floor dropped out too low, my family and friends abandoned me, I lost everything for a moment, and the pain and horror reached a level that finally I had a change of psyche on my OWN and realized I wanted to get better.

In my own humble opinion the only "science" that matters on this subject are the opinions of those whom have lived it and recovered. Go survey the opiate addicts that didn't end up dead and find out what worked for them.
Having worked at a helpdesk: "computer says no" is effectively the same as "my company/boss says no". Most of those systems are intentionally set up so that you can't override them for an edge case. It's not a smart way to do things, but it's the way things are done.
> As Osborne learned when she started selling Beanie Babies, middlemen like Joyce are often the ones who turn a fad into a sustainable business that creates jobs.

So the NYT is saying that beanie babies were a sustainable business that creates the ever elusive "jobs". It was sustainable in that it lasted longer, but beanie babies are not still a sustainable business. If the metric of success is ~7 years of business then Maddoff was running a sustainable business.
For whatever it's worth, given that:

1. Manning's leaks didn't really reveal anything useful

2. They weren't carefully released or curated in the same way that Snowden's were.

3. Manning can't be negatively impacted by my words on Hacker News

...I don't really respect that person enough to give a flip how they want me to refer to them. Bradley was the name I heard in the media throughout most of this, Bradley is still what's stuck in my mind, I don't give enough care about their opinion or PC-ness in general to mentally correct myself every time the thought comes up.
I think the biggest issue is that you've shown you're willing to modify traffic for license control. If you'd simply released commercial support for $500/mo/instance I'd have gladly paid for it in my products and think many others would have too. Showing such obtrusive forms of DRM makes me not want to ever use any of your software again. I've spent the past couple of hours migrating from Caddy to nginx and I've contacted them about buying support. I guess the silver lining was the nginx was was easy to migrate to.

I was under the impression that CloudFlare removed them not due to their content, but due to the site beginning to act as if CloudFlare was a collaborator or in support of them. If that was the case, it only seems logical they would want to distance themselves from that site and the ongoing drama. We also arent equating the response of their customers. Didn't Godaddy's response generate from a Tweet to them about it? Trust and believe, support tickets were sent to registrars asking for a clear stance on this.

One big difference is that digital searches aren't limited to stuff you're bringing with you -- they want to search your entire past history in terms of email, social media, etc.

Another big difference is the purpose of the search in the first place. We search for physically dangerous items to protect people, or unlawful items for customs reasons. The case for physically dangerous data and unlawful data is much less clear cut.

The real reason for searching your devices seems to be related to profiling you as a person in order to determine if they want to let you in, which is a completely different purpose than searching your bags.
I agree. The writing style is just completely textbook NYT commentator style. Either she spent her 7 years in jail studying and practicing NYT writing style, or she wrote the bones of this article which was heavily edited by a NYT editor, or she didn't write this at all and just put her name on it.

It's largely irrelevant though, because this article has nothing to do with the reason behind her popularity. This article could have just as easily been written by Joe Blow from Minnetonka without materially changing the article(cf. Edward Snowden articles, where he writes specifically about the system which he became famous for defying)
The wonderful thing about the list provided by your parent is that it's optional. Pick and choose the pieces you want. Those may not be the same pieces your parent wants. Fortunately both of you can choose without inconveniencing the other.
A function in Python takes two kinds of arguments: positional arguments, and keyword arguments.

def foo(a, b, c):
pass

# Arguments passed positionally:
foo(1, 2, 3)
# or passed by keyword:
foo(a=1, b=2, c=3)

Now, say you want to make that second call somewhat dynamically, and you have the dict:

a_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

You can make that second foo call:

foo(**a_dict)
# because of the value of a_dict, expands to:
# foo(a=1, b=2, c=3)

Functions themselves can take only positional arguments, only keyword arguments, or really, any combination of them. Here is a decent SO question and answer[1] that might help, a bit about it in the tutorial[2], and last, the formal documentation[3].

Haha sorry to offend you, I meant to say like Username/Password is kind of old-school in this era where the importance of digital identities are realised and there are many startups around it, Twitter uses an Authorization protocol (OAuth) which makes them "new school".

> Standard Oil came about through mergers. This is the one where antitrust fits -- you break them up, problem solved.

Problem solved if they're actually broken up. Exxon (Standard Oil of New Jersey) and Mobil (Standard Oil of New York) merged in 1999. Chevron (Standard Oil of California) did not merge into this behemoth, it's been busy over the past 20 years sucking in companies like Unocal and Texaco, in addition to the other oil companies it sucked up over the past century.

The ability to build primitive synths in a few lines of code (w/o library dependencies) is fine and well, but should not have been a priority for becoming a web standard. What's desperately needed is a well-designed low-level API. That could have been done years ago, and then if there was still sufficient demand for built-in nodes, those could have been added later.

As far as potential audience, in the time I've spent lurking in the Web Audio community, it seems like developers fall into one of two camps: 1) building toy projects for their own edification/learning, and happy to have the Web Audio API 2) trying to build a serious product (DAW, game, whatever) and super frustrated with the API. It seems pretty clear to me that end-users would be much better off if camp 2 had a good low-level API to work with.. camp 1 is not making much that gets used by end-users.

> It's not "serious business" but this is the browser after all.

Modern JS performance is actually quite good, and WebAssembly is only going to make it better. I think you underestimate the potential of audio processing in the browser.

> It's like a modular synthesiser.

I own hardware modular synths, and I built a proof-of-concept modular synth environment using the Web Audio API (https://github.com/rsimmons/plinth). The API makes it hard to build even simple things like well-behaved envelope generators or pitch quantizers. So even if you viewed the API as a sort of code-level modular synth environment, it's pretty unsuited to anything beyond trivial use cases.

The browser-based experimental/modular audio stuff that has any traction (e.g. https://github.com/charlieroberts) doesn't use the built-in nodes for these reasons.

What a great opportunity for a lesson in fake news. Let's get to the meat of the claim in the article you link to (https://www.buzzfeed.com/jasonleopold/secret-government-repo...):

Regarding the hundreds of thousands of Iraq-related military documents and State Department cables provided by the Army private Chelsea Manning, the report assessed “with high confidence that disclosure of the Iraq data set will have no direct personal impact on current and former U.S. leadership in Iraq.”

How strange! The article is trying to give the impression that Manning's leaks IN GENERAL harmed no one, but when they get to the heart of the matter, they only reference the situation in Iraq. Manning's leaks included information about our diplomacy around the world. Iraq-related material were only part of it.

Further, it is widely believed that Manning's leaks contributed greatly to, if not sparked the flames of, the Arab "Spring", which has most certainly been a disaster for America (and the people in the region too).

The best known example is that the CIA did in fact support nour al din al zinki, who were literally fighting side by side with nusra in Aleppo (and now in idlib) in the same operation group. So you have various groups coordinating and working together with some light delineation between them. That's how technically the CIA can deny that they ever directly armed al qaeda.
There are many "error correction" mechanisms at play in a computer. Perhaps a computer is constantly trying to exert its will, only to be inevitably thwarted by noisy channel coding schemes.
I would like to see more of the performance issues addressed by browsers. It seems to me that a lot of what webpack does (and maybe more with direct access to JS engine state) in terms of chunking the dependency graph are absolutely optimizations that browsers could do in static analysis stages in module loading, figuring out what to load immediately in the fast path and what to defer. Those sorts of optimizations may not be there on Day 1 of ESM support in browsers, but they could be eventually addressed.

I think HTTP/2 does help a lot, but it's also hard to tell right now because a lot of our collective development environments don't support HTTP/2 well (partly because of the security requirements). Also HTTP/2 could help with that from the other direction. Instead of a tool like webpack bundling chunks, it could offer the chunks as metadata for use in HTTP/2 Server Push.
For anyone who thinks this is a legitimate concern, just click through and read the full text of the bill. It's like one page long and has zero mentions of pronouns. All it does is extend the same protections to gender identity that already exist for things like race, age, religion and disability.
Not being able to find a place to live (rent, in this case) is merely an inconvenience? Or, if you do manage to find a place to live but can't get access to your money to pay for it? If you can't obtain housing or (your own) money, I'd imagine that most other aspects of your life aren't going to be very pleasant either.

Personally, I would consider having to forego food and/or shelter for an unknown length of time -- while a bureaucratic morass is being sorted out, because "the computer said no" -- to be much, much more than just a "temporary inconvenience".
No, you're injecting data into traffic. That's way worse than a text editor occasionally reminding you you haven't paid.

It sounds like the only input is video. Video plus the user's controls might be much more interesting; there's a huge archive of input recordings available at tasvideos.org that could conceivably be used as a source, rather than making people actually play the damn things.

Or you could just take some of the other AIs designed to play games based on video and wire them up. Then just let your system learn to play AND run Mega Metroid Brothers.
A large part of that IP is the massive amount of work that went into it right before its downfall.

It has legs, just too much debt and as you said the debt is gone. I'd let it run for a little while. If I were to change it again, or even roll it all the way back to the 90s (rose tinted glasses I think). Then all you'd really be using is the domain name which is a waste.
The ACLU, using from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, says that "for-profit companies were responsible for approximately 7 percent of state prisoners and 18 percent of federal prisoners in 2015"

I don't think that count's as "highly" privatized. I personally think the incentives involved in the private prison system present major ethical issues, but I think we need to look at the incentives involved with the our legal system and governmental prisons, also.
There's a big difference between caring about what someone says and looking for information. Your comment implied your article was mostly compiled information. At the very least I think you should consider releasing a research sheet of sorts with the sources you used/found, and which people can investigate themselves. Sure, the collection still has a narrative, but if you avoid all bias, you will avoid everything. Everything has a perspective, and whats important is that a reader can properly parse and consider that perspective, not that content is devoid of it.

It's okay to not agree with an approach or argument you used before, or even the why of the existence of either. But it doesn't mean all of the content is useless.

The EULA specifically states that this isn't permitted.
> Let's face it: They realized their product was popular, took advantage of tons of interest and documentation/blogs/hype in the community, then decided to charge for binary distribution. It's a bit of a burn.

Or another way of looking at it: Open source has to be subsidized (either through free time or commercial backing) in order to continue to contribute to open source. The amount of time and effort to maintain a popular open source product is insane. They are creating a business model to continue to subsidize their open source contributions. Whats the alternative? Burnout and stagnation which would just result in forks and fracturing of the community if they are lucky.
RHEL provides a stable kernel ABI. "Once a symbol has been introduced into the Kernel Application Binary Interface (kABI) for a particular major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux it will not be removed, nor will its meaning be changed during that kernel major release's complete life cycle." SLES is another distribution with a stable kernel ABI.

Additionally, in practice a module (driver) that ignores the kABI will usually work for all patched kernel versions on a given minor release (~service pack). e.g. A minor release 6.X introduces a new kernel X' (2.6.32-X'.Y) and a module built against X'-0 will work for all Y.
Yes. And this is tiny compared to what's there in mathematics, limited mostly to people who write Haskell fanfic (from Haskell proper to Scalaz), and, to be blunt: the terminology is used more as a shibboleth than as an abstraction tool. Contrast this with F#'s terminology ("computation expressions"), for example. I mean, if your goal is to have adoption levels for Haskell rival that for abstract algebra and to keep the unwashed masses out, then the more arcane and unrelatable your terminology is for the average person, the better.

To give another example. "Strength reduction" as a compiler optimization relies basically on the fact that the distributive laws apply to rings. Yet you won't find a mention of rings in compiler textbooks that explain the technique. It's unnecessary to convey the idea and confuses more than it explains, unless you're one of the few people who already are familiar with rings as algebraic structures.
I've been given a ride in the passenger seat of a RHD car in a RHT country, ie the steering wheel is on the "wrong" side.

It's actually quite stressful before the driver (hopefully) stops at a zebra crossing after you accidentally caught eye contact with a waiting pedestrian staring at you.

The best strategy is to just look down, but that feels a bit stupid too when the pedestrians are clearly looking at you.
