I haven’t watched the testimony, but I don’t think the suggestion is for the government to make the judgements for the labels - at least, that sounds like an epically terrible idea, especially (but not only) given the current president’s predilection for calling any news he doesn’t like “fake”. Rather, I think social media platforms would be expected to do that themselves, maybe by contracting with external fact checking sites, like Facebook is already doing in order to label specific articles (as opposed to entire sites) “disputed”.

But yes, creating any centralized pseudo-authority on what counts as truth - even a private one committed to neutrality and limited to a specific social media platform - carries significant risks. I think some existing sites, such as Politifact, currently do a pretty good job of distinguishing “this is false” from “this is political spin I disagree with”. But they’re not perfect - they clearly have a bias, like everyone else - and other fact checkers tend to be somewhat worse, from what I’ve seen, ranging from Snopes to fact-checking articles in WaPo, NYT, etc.
Is this actually saying anything other than that government should get out of the way?
Reliability, mostly. Also some strange cases where it would just plain fail (but then work if re-run).

We do use private scoped packages a lot so that might have some bearing on it.
How hard can it be to send an email? Why pay $$$ for it?

For deliverability, which is pretty good on Mailchimp.

However I think that send emails out using the gmail API or the Amazon SES might be the way to go. Also depends on what you are doing, I think that those that over analyse the mail openings are getting it wrong, focusing on the wrong metrics. You should be focused on the sales metrics not be navel gazing in newsletter software. Content is king, get that right and again, focus on that, not the analytics.
Not really, because of https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=15596604. Why would you like to self-host? (Not implying that there are no valid reasons, just curious which reasons are important to you.)
There's the BioLite stoves: https://www.bioliteenergy.com/products/basecamp

They are high-efficiency, low-smoke wood stoves and the company actually tries to make a difference to people that rely on fire for cooking: https://www.bioliteenergy.com/pages/mission

I've had the camp stove for a couple of years and it works really well. I wouldn't recommend using it indoors (the monoxide risk if nothing else), but it definitely fits in with the off-grid movement.
Haha - classic. I've done that before too.
Which dynamic language did you use? Like statically typed languages there is a huge variety. I don't group languages whether I like them based on whether they are static or dynamic.

I hate JavaScript, PHP and Perl which are all dynamic. While I like Python, Lua and Julia. But I also like static languages such as Swift and Go. I have a certain fascination for Haskell, but I can't be bothered to invest the time to get any good at it. Which kind of suggest to me that Haskell is a dead end. If programming language geeks like me can't invest the time, why would the average developer ever bother.

My work language is C++, which I actively hate, but I can stomach it because we work on interesting software.
This has crossed my mind. I’m a G Suite customer (paid Google docs / gmail etc) and Google makes me nervous the way they shut things down constantly.
That's the same as the lion telling the tamer how safe it is in the cage. Needs to be independent firm or NGO or company internal team. Ideas and solutions please!
9P2000 is available on Linux with the CONFIG_9P_FS and related kernel compile options, which say things like:

"If you say Y here, you will get experimental support for Plan 9 resource sharing via the 9P2000 protocol. See http://v9fs.sf.net for more information."
I'd say that they accepted the risk, and that they can't accept the risk without accepting a share of the blame.

> But I find placing blame on a cyclist for accepting this risk to their safety from reckless motorists absurd.

I find knowingly riding a bicycle in unsafe conditions absurd. It's why my bike has sat in my garage for 5 years; I can't ride on the raised sidewalks, and I think it's suicidally stupid to ride in the bike lanes that are separated from motor vehicle traffic by a few feet and a white line. Frankly, I don't care who's to blame, if I wind up dead. It's not a risk that I'm willing to accept.
Using a static type checker means that an error doesn't creep across all my code. The worst case you describe pretty much never happens, and the smaller instances I get are reified to a generic form I am trained to analyze and solve quickly.

> It's better than the alternative, which is allowing Russian disinformation to determine facts.

No it's not better. "Russian disinformation" is a bullshit term to describe overblown and mostly ineffective tactics used by just about all governments.

Disinformation clogs the web. From WaPo to NYT to Salon to [insert media outlet here]. The very same bozos who sold you the Iraq war.

The dumbness of American discourse is almost too much to bear. Your shining city upon a hill apparently can't handle $100,000 worth of targeted ads. It's embarrassing.
I thought cracking a bitcoin wallet was technically beyond the limitations of today's computing power??
In the short term, probably more revenue. But once they race to the bottom of deliverability rates (like SES, for example), MailChimp will forever have lost it’s major defining feature: emails that actually make it to the inbox.
What policies have you created? How are those enforced? Are they even enforceable?

Depending on how they are worded, either the share, and/oor the sale, and/or neither will break the policy

If you have enough of the bitcoin wallet, cracking the rest is possible with todays resources.

If he was able to crack any random bitcoin wallet, I don't think he'd be sharing it on this website.
I wonder if this was five years from the deal closing? Usually the deal doesn't close until after regulators have agreed to not to file a lawsuit (which is what happened on the April 8th 2011 date).
I can't register. Getting "there was an error" message.
Well I would use it, but I wouldn't contribute, because I write all my code in a test driven programming way. AFAIK Chuck Norris writes the code first, never the test.
The website is not, but when you open the app, the background should cover your whole screen. I'll try to fix the website.
A "minimum margin" is needed anyway, even with perfect perception, because in general you don't have perfect actuation.
Permit my inquiry but whenever i see comments like this, I can't help but think that your main reason for believing in this train of thought is majorly because the negative effects of U.s military industrial complex has pretty much never affected you. because if you were perhaps an Arab who watched his/her home town bombed to shit by a us drone and had the us write off the human casualties that resulted there in from this act as collateral damage you most likely will not feel this way about a single country trying to amass absolute power, particularly when it is a specific country that seem to have a very itchy war finger, which also just elected a very racist man as president.

If the table were turned will you still feel this way, i wonder.

And p.s i am not an Arab, I am African so yes i do sympathize somewhat with what they go through. I also do not hate the U.S but i do feel it that it was time the rest of the world closed the military and technological gap the U.S and the west really had over the rest of the world as this will stop a lot of their bullshit.
Right so there's a difference between the dictionary definition of capitalism, and the current system in the USA where money has replaced democracy and you can get away with anything as long as you're rich enough. Look at AirBnB, Lyft, Uber, Carl Icahn, oil companies, etc.
A test-driven approach to developer communication
I know no Linux admin (good or not) that does that. It's 2017.
The problem wasn't enough options (though not enough transparency still is). The problem is the one option that anyone wants and is still not available: do not send anything. Zilch. Nada. Nothing. Null. Radio silence. As if the computer wasn't even connected to the Internet. I don't believe it is a difficult concept to understand, except for those that do not want to understand. (the Enterprise version exclusive option is not that either. The "Security" level still collects and sends data).

Meanwhile, all the new options look like convoluted way to not change anything, but being able to demonstrate to regulators and PR, that something is being done. An effort for show, do not care about the result.

The reason, why Apple can do one checkbox and everyone is happy, but there is a higher standard for Microsoft is very simple: Apple has demonstrated, that they can be trusted, while Microsoft has demonstrated exact opposite. Dragging their feet doesn't exactly help. Even Canonical when they did their misstep with Amazon, had a lot to do to repair their reputation. But they honestly tried; Microsoft didn't start yet.
Correct - they state you can still use double opt-in if you want to.
I'm interested to know which simulation feature provides the most information. Sort of a random drop out of features on the scene graph. Include lighting vs. no lighting, color vs monochrome (brightness only), shadowing vs non, texture vs untextured, monocular vs binocular, etc...

You can test what simulation features are informative by measuring the resulting real world accuracy with the arm.

How simple can the simulation be? How informative is each feature?
The store of value is a myth, as the value requires buyers on the markets.

The unregulated exchanges are able to act in fractional reserve as they're not required to audit their deposits. The exchanges are also able, and have been wash trading, front running, and spoofing orders, creating a false sense of volume and activity.

Transaction volume took a cliff dive once Chinese regulators forced exchanges to charge per transaction.

Bitcoins are produced for a nominal value, it's not magic or limited in supply, it's reproducible software. The same service is offered by many other blockchain networks.
Mind sharing your process?

I have been having issues setting up my project structure with TypeScript
It's faster because it's doing much less.

You're just mimicking babel with `babel-preset-typescript` + `babel-transform-object-rest-spread`, but without support for:

- babel-preset-env
- babel-minification
- or any of the other dozen or so plugins that make development easier
- any bug fixes or polyfills

I don't get why people think that they're doing something special by not using babel. Pre-babel life sucked.
Yup, the "Spam" button is a true signal. A company I worked for had problems with the number of times people hit 'spam' on the emails (not even a newsletter, but transactional emails), and AWS SimpleEmailService put us on probation. I got to write a worker task that would consume the queue of "someone marked you as spam" from SES and remove them from our email list.
You are correct, but I feel compelled to point out that the average person should be hesitant to hold bitcoin personally.

Crypto is hard to get write, and people suck at key management.

If you're going to store your own bitcoin, please do several 'test runs' depositing tiny amounts and practicing retrieving it. Understand potential attack vectors. Too many stories of "I forgot the pin i used to encrypt my private key" or "I saved my private key in gmail and lost all my bitcoin when my email got hacked" or "I used a malicious wallet software and it stole all my coins".

It seems like holding down a key does different things in different language alphabets. I can't seem to hold down a key and have it type the same character repeatedly in English, however (e.g. press a, expect aaaaaaa... until key up).
Well, the question is why did Google wait the 2 non-required years before shutting it down? Seems like something they wouldn’t just forget about.
To me and many early investors of F# (loyal Windows developers), the current direction is the worst thing that happened to the language.

UWP is not just a nice to have, it's the backbone of client Windows development right now and going forward.

I used to be a huge F# advocate and all the people I converted to F# over the years have left, due to the lacking Windows support. And the VF# program manager siding with anti-UWP, anti-Windows, anti-MS detractors isn't helping the situation.
> Also count "impressions" as the number of times something appeared on screen.

I was under the impression that this was the standard, widely used definition of an impression which you are correct differs from the normal definition of impression.
Afaik, they use the same underlying data - this is just Google cutting off public access to this data via the API.
That is not problem of Mailchimp, it's problem of culture and "best practices". It's really annoying and it became annoying long before this change.

I receive lots of such emails not only from Mailchimp. At least Mailchimp has one-click unsubscribing, most custom-built mailing list systems don't have it, requiring to log in or just not working.

The problem with Mailchimp is:

- Spam filters work mediocre, despite AI hype. I think they are still based on linear regression on bag of words or something like that. Instead Gmail blocks your server if it sends mail for the first time instead of being large company's server that already sent 1e100 emails.

- Mailchimp exploits this. You can't send email on your own and have to buy their service. It also spreads additional FUD that you must use it, otherwise all your mail goes to spam.

- Gmail treats Mailchimp as privileged sender so if I mark promotional emails from hottest startups as spam, new similar emails are not sent to spam folder.

- Hottest startups know this and subscribe you to all their mailing lists each time they got your email.
> If the drivers of these machines are unable to "dodge" or "stop" appropriately, it is their fault if someone is hurt.

Yes, and I don't give two shakes about who's right or who's at fault of the result is sending another car across the double yellow and killing me or my family.

Listen, I get that it feels great to feel like you have the moral authority to tell us how cyclist aren't actively harming anyone but they are creating situations(large deltas in speed, cars having to pass) where there is a higher chance of a serious collision.

Unless you're telling me that there's no statistical difference of collisions when 5mph bicycles are on 55mph highways?

FWIW they're building a separate bike path along large sections of 101 by Port Angeles which is the right way to address this, and I fully support that. The idea that having a large delta in speed on a highway doesn't contribute to accidents however is absurd.

Spring Tool Suite 3.9.1 Released
Absolutely right!

We should definitely shut down all Department of Education educational minimums as well! Those are just used to control the populace anyway.

And the FDA? That's just a way to control what we put in our bodies!

The SEC and financial regulations? When's the last time they helped anyone?

...

That was sarcasm, in case someone is experiencing a Poe moment.

In all these cases, the rules and regulations help some more than others, and may even be abused to help those with connections. That doesn't mean the institutions do not impart a net benefit to the country, and in many cases many orders of magnitude more than the problems they cause (in my opinion, at least).

A n agency with clear and transparent rules as to how to score institutions and what is considered true and what is considered false could do some real good. It could also be abused, but I don't think the idea should be immediately discounted before we explore how it might work a bit more in depth.
Also, if someone is confident BTC will fall, they should short it and make money on the way back down. But people tend not to do that.

Seems more similar to tinc[1] than to OpenVPN. How well does it overcome firewalls?

I've gotten used to just setup tinc on all my machines automatically with puppet and it's really nice to have an overlay VPN over the internet that is peer-to-peer instead of having to route everything through a central server. The only thing I miss is better firewall piercing. The easiest way is to just move tinc to 443 but that won't work for servers where I actually want to serve HTTPS.

I've had major trouble with the fact that the new package-lock.json doesn't sufficiently lock versions. In one working copy you can run "nom install" and everything works with no files or package-lock being changed. Yet, in another clean checkout, "npm install" brings in a different set of dependency versions despite having a -lock file, and things start to break. Yarn's yarn.lock seems to get this right.
Fedora doesn't support APT right? It needs to be packaged separately? So it's a whole bunch of work for a small user base.

When you inject cold water into hot brittle rock, fracturing can occur.

You'll notice western Oklahoma is now replete with earthquakes, when they were never there before. From fracturing.

I liken this idea to defusing a bomb with a circular saw- sure, you might chip away at the explosives, reducing the yield when it goes off, but you also might short the detonator out and trigger an eruption.

Luckily, looks like the economics of this are prohibitive and likely to stay that way.

I don't know whether choosing to highlight the flaws in a product is honest or hostile. In any case, Apple is within their rights, and so are others to express their opinion. Relax! Nobody is taking your toys away!
You're not wrong. Hiring has just become a numbers game and I think this is part of the problem. Recruiters blast a thousand engineers with the same dry email. Engineers apply to a hundred different companies. A lot of companies don't consider applications without a personalized note or cover letter, and for good reason. They too want a personalized message.

Let's compare it to dating. A lot of people like dating apps where you can rifle through hundreds of options within minutes. But most people would agree that a matching process that is more personal and human leads to longer lasting relationships.

Despite how many people play the numbers game, there are tons of people who don't, myself included. (And I happen to mean that for both my personal and professional relationships.)

> 56% of total ad impressions were after the election.

> Most of the ads appear to focus on divisive social and political messages across the ideological spectrum, touching on topics from LGBT matters to race issues to immigration to gun rights.

> Many of the ads and posts we’ve seen so far are deeply disturbing—seemingly intended to amplify societal divisions and pit groups of people against each other.

"Deeply disturbing". The contrived pearl-clutching really is something else. Disturbing for whom, exactly? One ad apparently talked about saying Merry Christmas again. This is the 'meddling' they speak of.

And this is what the media does 24/7. Every day they shove divisive social and political messages down our throats.
