A less weaselly way to say it would have been to say "	Rep. Loudermilk, Barry [R-GA] along with 13 republican co-sponsers proposed ..." and then linked to the list of who they are, like you did.

Further, this was filed long before the breech, yet the piece tries to say that these representatives were doing it "despite" the breech was made public. Some of those listed may still be backing this, and it was (likely, I haven't read it myself) terrible legislation to begin with, but based on the evidence available, it is stretching to make the claims that the opinion piece does about them doing it "even as" the fallout from the breech is settling.

While I am glad they are covering the proposed legislation and bringing it to the publics attention, the piece is worded in a very weasely way.
I use my pinky to press shift and tab already. I press ctrl with the side of my hand. This way I can press both ctrl and shift at the same time, which is important for RTS and FPS games. Maybe I should map it to backspace like was suggested by WorldMaker.
Interesting statement. From my perspective this has been true of well run and poorly run companies alike.

Perhaps part of the difference is that well run companies allow the employees to prioritize, and poorly run companies don't. Either due to lack of trust or lack of clear/aligned company goals.

Additionally, poorly run companies/departments, and their employees may not realize this tacit agreement exists, leading to employee burnout, poor outcomes, etc.

Personally I've always known there would be more work than can be done, and part of my job is to "manage up," expectations. However, I've known many many colleagues over the years who have not been able to prioritize work in the same way. Wondering if more openness around this concept would lead to better outcomes.

Travis is still on Ubuntu 14.04, but that ships with clang 3.4 and gcc 4.8, both of which support C++11 just fine, so yeah, I'm confused why 'ksherlock needs macOS. clang 3.4 even supports C++14 (gcc needs version 5; also you might want gcc 5 for the C++11 ABI changes to std::string and std::list).

'ksherlock, if you really want a newer compiler, I'd use http://apt.llvm.org/ . Specifically do something like

sudo: required

before_install:
- curl https://apt.llvm.org/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
- echo "deb http://apt.llvm.org/trusty/ llvm-toolchain-trusty main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/llvm.list
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install clang-6.0

which will get you the latest nightly build of the not-yet-released clang 6.

Alternatively I think you can do it like this without sudo: required:

addons:
apt:
sources:
- llvm-toolchain-trusty-5.0
packages:
- clang-5.0

but clang-6.0 isn't on their whitelist https://github.com/travis-ci/apt-package-whitelist . Maybe send in a PR!

I, and almost anyone else, would consent to it for the sake of getting on the flight. Yeah, I don't like it either. It doesn't happen a lot, but when it does I imagine these outcomes:

1) Handover unlocked device, let CBP knuckle-dragger browse through it, in front of me, until they're bored and they hand it back. Get on flight. This is the best case scenario.

2) Handover unlocked device, CPB knucke-dragger takes it to back room where he may or may not download all contents and store it, enabling NSA to play seven-degrees-of-keven-bacon, Osama-edition, forever. That's the worst scenario, but very unlikely that anything comes of that.

3) Laugh at CBP knuckle-dragger, keep phone locked, miss flight, go to airport detention for an indeterminate amount of time until I give in and handover unlocked phone, be subject to scrutiny and "commentary" from CBP official, and maybe, get put on a list somewhere which will cause this to happen every time I fly.

Well, except that the default behavior pulls the background color into the irregular areas, which will probably yield some unexpected and less than desired results for sites that don't expect the background color to fill space to the left and right of the content.

I think a more sensible default would have been to fill the irregular space with black to create a letterboxed appearance. Basically reduce the irregular space to inactive unless specifically requested by the site's designer.

Ask HN: How to organize marketing projects?
I'm a solo founder looking for a better approach to managing multiple marketing projects and tasks.

I'm not looking for tools, but rather ways of thinking/frameworks that allow me to track and breakdown multiple marketing projects.

Right now, I'm going at it in a disorganized, inconsistent manner. And I end up wasting time and money.
A better methodology might be to pair a rememberer and an artist (like for forensic artist mugshots). But that would be a ton of work if you wanted to get decent sample size.
Don't they have the HPV vaccine Guardasil?
The value of a company is not equal to it's revenue - that doesn't make sense. To give an example, let's say someone offered to sell you a magic bean which caused $10 to appear magically every year. Would the bean grower sell it to you for $10? Probably not unless they needed cash immediately, since they could make $50 from the bean in 5 years.

Instead value of a company is the perpetual value of the cash flows to the buyer. The problem is for startups we have very little idea what their cash flows will be in the future. Their revenues could be anywhere, we have no idea what their costs will be (how many sales people do you need, how much R&D, etc.), etc. So because of that valuation becomes a very imprecise art.

Outside of the cash flow approach, another approach for valuing a company is to consider future buyers. Suppose you have a magic bean that returns 50 cents each year in perpetuity. However, the magic bean is called MagicBeanAI and since AI is hot you know you can sell that bean for $50 to someone else. In this case you would be willing to buy it for <$50 regardless of MagicBeanAI's cash flows. This is what happens when markets start to behave irrationally. Eventually people realize they don't have any more suckers to sell to and their MagicBeanAIs value goes to almost nothing. This is essentially a market crashl; google "tulip mania" for more examples.
From my experience the speedup is more around 20x-50x.
I suspect that's the minority view. For most people (myself included), mirrorless (Fujifilm X-series) gives us most of capabilities of a DSLR in a far smaller/lighter package. But get above 135mm (35mm equivalent) focal length and those savings effectively go away.

Don't get me wrong, I use my Fujifilm camera more than my full-frame Canon DSLRs. But it's almost solely because the Fujifilm is smaller and lighter to travel with.
With that said, they lose the plot a bit when the iPhone X's safe area adds unnecessary padding outside of the notch, and then double down on that mistake when they talk about their brand new `min()` and `max()` functions.

More likely "Graal" was derived from "Grails", since the English word grail came from the Old French graal. And from http://openjdk.java.net/projects/graal/ :

"The aim of this project is to expose VM functionality via Java APIs. Namely, we want to make it feasible to write in Java a dynamic compiler and interpreter for a language runtime. [...] Building on the compiler, we aim to develop a multi-language interpreter framework. Java will be just one member in the family of supported languages. The use of partial evaluation will allow the framework to deliver competitive performance."

This compiler and framework sounds like an attempt to provide a foundation for more Groovy/Grails-style ecosystems to be built on the JVM.

According to many articles that's a common misconception - that younger people empowered by Tinder can bang each other more and casually.[1] From my own anecdotes Tinder is actually a hindrance, since it creates a picture-oriented, extremely competitive environment where lack of physical attractiveness effectively shuts down the world of dating to the majority of men and women who aren't 8s, 9s, or 10s.[2]

I mean, on the net you'll often hear stories about kids scoring big but that's survivor bias. You don't hear anything from those who didn't bang.

I think you've got this exactly backwards.

In forty years a slightly better image will still be slightly better, but a 5MB vs a 10MB file will be as meaningless as comparing a 50KB vs a 100KB text file is today.

It's covered in school history classes, sufficiently anti-colonially for a certain slice of conservative talking heads to decry Britain 'talking down its glorious past'.

My class covered the Jallianwalla Bagh massacre in some depth at age 15; a lovely example of late Empire brutality where one of our army officers ordered machine guns turned on a non-violent crowd who were demonstrating in breach of government order.

So it's not covered in any depth, but the empire certainly isn't celebrated uncritically in school or in other official contexts.

This is an inversion of the sentiment being expressed: the suggestion is to use languages that allow you to shift more cognitive overhead to the compiler and tooling. If anything, I program in Rust when I fear that the keeping track of all the little bits Go doesn't help me with will take up too much of my puny human brain.

If there is no significant chance of untreatable disease, it is not 'irresponsible' to have a very active sex life. The irresponsibility stems purely from the danger. Without it, it becomes a moral issue and is quite different from 'irresponsible'. And yes, there are people who actively oppose any development of an HIV vaccine or cure due to their moral fear that people will start having more sex. The chaplain of the CDC announced in the 1990s that he would do anything in his power to prevent any research into an HIV vaccine, for example.

The most likely significant health threat as far as STDs go in the future are anti-biotic resistant gonorrhea. There were a couple of those spreading in Asia a couple years ago that were positively nightmarish.

It is possible to run macOS on beefier hardware (if you ignore the license) and run more VMs per host (again, if you ignore the license). In Apple's case, they don't have license issues to worry about and thus can do their SaaS/CI stuff in VMs on as many of the beefiest servers that make sense to buy instead of having to fight with Mini's or racking Mac Pros. I expect that most likely they are currently doing that on beefy machines from a cloud hardware vendor like Quantas or Dell.

Device specific extra pixels were a bad idea. Further modifying web design standards to account for them is making the problem ten times as bad. Where's the CSS declaration that tells Safari to make those pixels black so no one has to care about this? Unplanned sections of background color around your header bar is not "displaying existing websites beautifully".
But in any case you can do that by making your website a little smaller on iphonex screens.

That's not the problem! That's one line of CSS.

The problem is that now we are expected to design for this non-rectangular screen, taking "advantage" of the little gaps at the sides, and perhaps fill them with little buttons in creative ways.

So that's the real problem.

This will cost us (developers) extra time.

Instead, I think Apple would have done a better job if they filled those corners with system icons.

The 'sexwave' was all of human history up to the Industrial Revolution... then another in the 70s with development of the birth control pill and no known significantly dangerous STDs. Interestingly, the USA was viewed as the vanguard of sexual progressivism in the 1970s and places like France were seen as provincial backwaters. There's a great book about Frances attempt to modernize their views to be more progressive called 'Good Sex Illustrated'. If you're interested in the ways in which sex education can be stilted to promote extremely conservative antiquated mindsets, it includes a multitude of examples. It is remarkably relevant because it's basically exactly what American educators and parents inflict on kids today.

My bad. However it was closed source too, and abandoned rather quickly.

> True but WASM hadn't had much of a life so far, so we will see.

It uses the same security model as JS, which is much more mature than VMs not designed for so much exposure to random third party code.

> from what I see I think it's ugly as well

Ugly but not slow. WASM memory can be read and written directly from/to a typed array, instead of converting strings. Since it's fast enough, one can make less ugly APIs wrapping that behaviour.

> Java was designed with a sandbox and a bytecode verifier from very early on.

They probably protected the code itself from escaping the sandbox, but not the environment (all the API in its complex glory). WASM on the other side is exclusively allowed to talk with JS (for now, at least), therefore the only API level bugs are in JS, not in WASM.
That really depends on the platform. If you're willing to go with a higher crop factor you will see real world size reductions in the lens.

For example, compare the size of the Panasonic M43 35-100/2.8 to the Canon 70-200/2.8 or Canon 70-200/4.0

http://camerasize.com/compact/#333.7,333.294,521.366,ha,t

There's a noticeable reduction in size and weight with the M43 gear if you're OK with the compromises of using a crop sensor.

I used to have an APS-C DSLR and carried a few lenses with me on trips. My main system now is Nikon 1 and in the same space in my bag that my DSLR and lenses used to take, I can put two bodies and five lenses.

While I know that many people consider the Nikon 1 system a joke, I chose it because it works very well for my specific needs (I also have some M43 gear but I still prefer my N1 gear because of the size). Obviously, I wouldn't recommend it to most people, since their needs don't necessarily line up with mine.
