> the "Basket of Deplorables" (ie: white America)

That phrase didn't refer to "white America"-- it referred to white supremacists.

The problem was that Clinton rankly speculated that half of Trump's supporters were made up of white supremacists, in a futile effort to divide his base. And later in that same paragraph she said this:

"He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people -- now 11 million."

Even if Clinton's statistics were even close to correct, it was a counterproductive statement. Trump voters who were white supremacists were energized by being attacked directly by Clinton. Trump voters who were not white supremacists were energized by the likelihood that Clinton was exaggerating the numbers to spread FUD and misdirect from her own historically low polling numbers as a presidential candidate. And Bernie supporters who were on the fence wondered why Clinton was name-calling Trump supporters when a large part of Bernie's appeal had been the exact opposite kind of behavior-- instead employing care and caution when referring to the grievances of Trump supporters-- as a primary candidate.

But more importantly, presidential candidates don't just improvise new phrases like that in the middle of speeches. Has there been anything written about who authored that phrase for Clinton and why they did it?

While I don't disagree that speculation is the primary use case, I think the criminal side is way overstated. I use Bitcoin monthly to pay bills in my origin country, and I do it because the banks there suck and transfering money is bureaucratic and online access basically doesn't work from abroad (you get frequently blocked due to "suspicious access" and told to unblock "at a nearby ATM").

Nobody writes articles about people like me because that story doesn't attract clicks.

Totally agree; it was too obvious after the upset Trump victory when the Dems immediately started going down the list of scapegoats – especially Russia. I really don't think Russia's influence comes close to domestic influence, especially after looking at the billions spent by the U.S. campaigns.

And I've been very disappointed in U.S. mainstream press for repeating these partisan talking points with very little objective analysis. They complain about RT meddling in our election but our own consolidated media has opened the door to all of this IMO.
When leadership trusts their teams, they're trusting the manager. Combining these uses means that the manager has support from above and below to execute their projects.
Yes, all devs should stand up to their moral beliefs. Web analytics isn't necessarily evil, but something like this article is pointing is definitely coming pretty close.
So if Alzheimer's is the degeneration of brain cells leading to memory loss and breakdown of other mental functions, and sleep is typically touted as a way to consolidate memories, does sleep aid in the process of repairing/healing cells in the brain? Does the lack of consolidation of memory (lack of sleep) lead to some kind of disjointed collection of neurons, leading to a condition such as Alzheimer's?
If a person with teardrop / neck tattoos shows up with a gunshot wound on a weekend night, I have enough confidence to say "get out of this emergency room or we'll call the police".

The whole point of negotiation under duress is rendered moot when the person under duress gets to pay prices that are presented to people who aren't under duress.

Let me craft an analogy - once upon a time I was going on a road trip and forgot to get my oil changed until the day of the trip. I called up the dealer and asked if they could sneak me in - they could, and I got to pay the same oil change price as someone who scheduled it two weeks in advance. The dealer didn't jack up the price because I needed an oil change immediately and they couldn't because they list their prices and are legally bound to honor them.

I think healthcare should have the same thing - every medical facility should have to publish their prices and they should be bound to honor them.

And in my system, if you can't pay, you're not going to debtor's prison. You get to go on your way and you might see less social security or tax refunds until you've made good on your debt.
I wonder if there are cache effects involved as well - continuously using the same SSD most of the time may reuse cached metadata relevant to the SSD innards that the kernel FS cache can't help with.
I've seen it go both ways enough times to know better than thinking code reviews are a silver bullet, but still be glad to have them and still prefer having detailed review be part of the culture over having it not be.
It was definitely not obvious at the time. Those people spent years experimenting with alternatives to the status quo before they could even really articulate the common direction.

And I'd say it still isn't trivial given the number of places that fall short of the vision as expressed in the manifesto's values and principles.

I would agree, though, that things have changed as it has been sold. That was much less about what programmers wanted to happen, and much more about what managers were willing to buy from consultants.
Verizon on the first link worked just fine here, but they made up porting dates and a few other things.
Looks interesting! Anybody using it? Couldn't find the answer on the web.
Same here. On Fi and don't see any personal information there.
But that's not even significant when you look at the billions spent by U.S. campaigns and orgs. Few hundred thousand from Russia isn't enough to do anything.
Same here, I'm on Google Fi and none of my information comes up. Only a "Joe Consumer". Ironic?
I use it every day against a (multi-tenant) Prometheus back-end. You have to put in quite a lot of effort to design the right queries and charts, but after that it works great for my needs.

We prefer to have dashboards under source control so generate them using grafanalib - see https://www.weave.works/blog/grafana-dashboards-as-code/

I think this approach shifts the need for roles and permissions as we never save dashboards from the UI.
"So I don't think one can generically fault 'regulation' for a poorly performing health market in the US."

Well articulated counterpoint: http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/08/29/reverse-voxsplaining-dr...

Also, we live in a country where most places they don't even allow opening a new hospital without the permission of surrounding hospitals, and all of the recent healthcare regulations have encouraged a seriously problematic consolidation just like the big banks.

As an industry, healthcare is so over-regulated it isn't even funny. The good news is that drug prices are still generally falling outside of big examples like Daraprim and Epipens and there are fairly effective solutions to the spikes we could have if the FDA would get onto more reciprocity with other nations: http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2016/02/the...

Also relevant, the US Cost disease: http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/02/09/considerations-on-cost-...
This is very complicated. In my country we do have a progressive/popular left wing and a liberal/conservative right wing, but people following the discussion in the US thinks the liberal right are left wing. It makes our political discussion go very low.
Not true. If you refill using a credit card then they collect the info at that time. I use T-Mobile prepaid and they have all my info except my name.
So you want reviewers to drop what they’re doing and take the time to pull in your changes to fix the typo, break up commit history by adding their change, instead of you fixing the mistake when it’s found, especially if it’s newly introduced? That’s pretty inconsiderate/lazy.

Don’t be that teammate please.
Kind of reveals how they think of us. If I were writing a story about a hapless, mindless, shallow, gullible idiot - basically an open wallet with eyeballs, who blithely spends and leaves devastation and waste in his wake, I'd call him Joe Consumer.

Sad thing is, I used to be John Q. Public - someone who votes, pays taxes, someone with rights. Now I'm just Joe Consumer.
But if I show up with a better club then all his stuff is now mine.

Bingo. Ownership exists without government - ownership exists to the extent others respect the claim.

Government is the difference between property rights and might-makes-right.

Governments are legitimate because of their might. Why do you think the basic social contract between authorities and the governed is "obedience for protection"?

I general I admire Zuckerberg's work, achievements and philanthropy, but his VR pursuit terrifies me. "One billion people in VR" - his goal for the next few years - is nothing else than what we've seen in Matrix the Movie.

Does anyone want it to happen? Really?
Yes, the electronic structure community is rapidly moving away from Fortran.

In my opinion, Fortran will fall behind as newer hardware, libraries, etc, will drop Fortran support. Also, newer grad students are all much more interested in C/C++/Python. I think this is in part because the newer languages are widely used outside of science and therefore there is much more documentation and tutorials/guides. Not to mention that skills in those languages are transferrable to other areas (data science, machine learning, etc).

As a side note: Wow someone working on the ECP on HN? I'm tangentially related to the project (and just visited PNNL last week)

That idea that reading is inherently virtuous has bothered me my whole life! I read a lot (well, at least I did before I had children) and have always been complimented on it which annoyed me to no end because I knew much of what I read was pretty trashy. I've had to explain to people so many times that a good portion of the books I read are no better than the movies or TV shows they watch, I just happen to like reading to relax.

And by the way, I don't believe in giving up on junk books. I think a good mix of fun but trashy and serious books is better. Just like anything in life: I wouldn't want to have only deep meaningful conversations or eat only fine dining or only write computer programs that do something useful or stop playing basketball just because I'm terrible at it or learn only prestigious fields of math... I think it's OK to do something just for fun, not everything needs to be edifying.
And any white man who voted for Trump was labeled a white supremacist and went in the basket. Just like any vocal supporter is labeled a Nazi. It's a joke.
Is MS Fortran still a supported product? I'm not sure I'd call software that depends on unsupported and unmaintained other software properly maintained.
I've found the opposite to be true, once you get into the knotty gritty there's so much that can be customized to different use cases. You can have different organisations and 4 levels of user roles. Lots of ways to handle authentication, a great API so everything is scriptable and lots more. It may not quite fit your needs but there's been a lot of effort put into the details. I'd been interested to know the specifics of what you couldn’t achieve with it?
I'd use Plan 9, if I could. And yes, Linux is the closest thing right now.

As someone who's worked on multiple teams that used TODO comments and then had a regular type of sprint in which they were grepped and cleared (these weren't perfect projects, there were other organisational problems, but this particular thing was handled well), I was actually quite surprised to get into a discussion recently here on HN about projects where this doesn't happen and TODO comments end up being largely aspirational.

However, I think code and life are slightly different contexts here. I get what you mean about separating aspirations from near-term actual intents but I generally use the word "todo" to refer exclusively to the latter (which still doesn't help a whole lot with ensuring execution as the list still grows quite large).
It's full of stuff like

flipPlayer : Player -> Player
flipPlayer currentPlayer =
case currentPlayer of
X ->
O

O ->
X

which is 8 lines where idiomatic Haskell would take 3.

flipPlayer : Player -> Player
flipPlayer X = O
flipPlayer O = X

I don't know if Elm encourages or mandates that verbose style but it's not some sort of "FP" requirement.

I mean you could just explain why you're not going to do that, and if he still refuses to sign off because of it, find another reviewer or escalate or both.

I agree that it's no good having a reviewer with bad priorities hang you up over them. But you're the one whose task it is to carry through if you can, and parsing blame doesn't ship code.

I would like to see universal basic healthcare in the US and genuinely affordable housing. I am not for basic income. I don't think it provides any kind of security. I think basic income amounts to a big fat fuck you to the little people.

I am for viewing our current crisis as The Second Industrial Revolution and trying to find a way to better distribute work, not welfare checks under the name of basic income.

I talk about that fairly often. I try to not harp on it. I didn't really see any reason to state it in the above comment.

Your concept of security and mine are not the same.

I rarely see mpls lines decreasing ttls. What I do see is traceroutes which are something like

2ms
3ms
38ms
5ms
8ms
9ms (target)

That 38ms showing packet losss too. I suspect it's the control plane that doesn't prioritise responses.

As I have no access to intermediate hops, nor even a business relationship with the owner, traceroutes, and things like bgp.he.net, help me work out where problems may be occurring and sometimes let me reroute.

Even on private wires it's hard to explain to network providers what an outage means. Sometimes a 10ms outage can be the difference between your application working and failing. Had a mikrotik at one event this year that I think was bouncing the queuing process from core to core. Looking at the rtp before and after showed it often throwing 30 packets out of order - about 15ms. Occasionally it would simply drop them, and that causes a major problem with broadcast video as normal FEC can cope with 20 losses on the trot at most.

Had to change ISP in kiev a couple of years ago because of a frequent 136ms drop. I'd isolated it to the next upstream provider from our existing isp, but nothing more could be done as it seemed that was their only real transit provider, and 130ms doesn't really stop Facebook from working.

No, this doesn’t work on Wifi.

The claim is you need to be on the carrier’s mobile data network, the carrier gives you an IP address, then a website owner asks the carrier who is at that ip address and then the carrier gives the website owner the data that it has on you (your real name, the address where they send the bills, the phone number they assigned to you, etc)
MEO does that in Portugal. With your phone you visit (probably) an ad on a website and you're automatically subscribed to some 3rd party service that charges 3€ a week from your mobile operator credit.

Then you call MEO to cancel the service and then you learn they're not refunding your money and that instead of this 1€ call you could have disabled the 3rd party services through their web login.

It's incredibly hostile, and there are more dirty tricks they use.
Not actually true; SSDs experience "read disturbance" caused by application of read voltages. Essentially, the cells being read, and those nearby, experience a little wear on each read operation. It's a lot less wear than a write, but it's still there.

When I last looked at this, devices could suffer (say) 3K writes, and once written a cell would have to be re-written after 3K reads in order to maintain proper voltage levels.

I moved for work last year and now live 7 hours from all the roots I had growing up. Until personal teleportation exists and I can be with my extended family and friends in the evenings and weekends while at work during the week, VR seems like the next closest thing. I get that there’s plenty of cons to VR, especially one controlled by facebook. But the draw here is similar to that of social media to begin with for me anyway, to reconnect with people lost by distance.
FWIW, both sites showed my real information initially, and now one of them shows that bogus info. I think they're just showing that default data due to load problems.
It's different being the top-management vs working there. You can't generalize all of them as not having soul or is evil. Seriously. Unless you have been in their situation, you cant judge. Not everyone would get the freedom to work at their dream role/job/company.

"Canonical has done amazing job considering that the Artful release date is just 6 months after the announcement to switch their desktop strategy."

Realistically, why would the answer be no? We've not established thoroughly that programmers have a duty to refuse to commit crimes or at least carry out morally bankrupt plans, but I don't think that people will or should be less critical when the hammer comes down. Just look toward the VW case. Is it worth risking your job to do the right thing?

In my opinion, the answer is never no. I speak as someone who has actually refused to implement functionality on the basis of ethics before.

I think 2 reasons:

1. They already have a lot of accessories for lightning and they would kinda lose that sweet 30 % MFi for 3rd party lightning accessories

2. A lot of people who don't know why USB C is great will probably bitch about how Apple is changing the port on the iPhone _again_, like they did when they switched from 30 pin to lightning. Could be a PR nightmare

Why would any potential buyer search that specified term instead of going to Apple's official tech specs page[1], which said absolutely nothing about the differences between the 4 ports? > 95% of the users won't have the need of more than 2 full bandwidth connection might be true, but a lot of them might have the expectation of using that two ports on either side.

Actually on that official tech specs page Apple bluntly claimed that:

Four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports with support for:
Charging
DisplayPort
Thunderbolt (up to 40 Gbps)
USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps)

There's even no footnotes to say that 2 of them actually cannot reach 40Gbps bandwidth. If this is not false advertising I don't know what is.

I don’t see what recursion/loops have to do with constructing output or dividing and conquering input.

For one thing, all loops can be trivially unrolled into a tail-recursive function that most languages will trivially transform back into a loop. Clearly these transforms have no bearing on the nature of the computation.

If asked such a question, I’d probably just use goto. (Bonus points if candidates use a goto on one part of one question I ask, since it saves a minute or two of whiteboard cut and paste, BTW).

Gold has use value in that even if the commodity speculation activity drops to zero, I can still turn the gold into jewelery and sell that. Or I could sell it to somebody who needs it for industrial purposes. Heck, I could sell it to the people who put gold leaf on candy.

Bitcoin has no such intrinsic floor. It only has exchange value. If people stop accepting it as a medium of exchange, you're left with bits. Bits are approximately free.
GP is saying the contrapositive for Fortran: you can have runtime bounds checks during development instead of disabling them for production builds.

I'm not sure which feature you're referring to, because while GCC has -fbounds-check, that's for the GNU Compiler Collection and only for frontends that support it (to wit, Fortran and Java). I don't know of any runtime bounds checking that ever made it into vanilla. Clang and GCC both have some limited array bounds checking, but it's static, and there are plenty of issues it won't catch. People maintained third party patches for a long time, but these are obsolete now. Perhaps you're thinking of ASAN/-fstack-protector-*?
