> I needed to have solid proof, and so did Bernie. So I followed the money

I wonder what she followed when she was passing debate questions to Clinton.

> as a cache of emails stolen by Russian hackers

What Russian hackers? What's the evidence for that. It keep getting repeated, I still haven't seen anything convincing on it.

> Individuals who had maxed out their $2,700 contribution limit to the campaign could write an additional check for $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund—that figure represented $10,000 to each of the 32 states’ parties who were part of the Victory Fund agreement—$320,000—and $33,400 to the DNC. The money would be deposited in the states first, and transferred to the DNC shortly after that. Money in the battleground states usually stayed in that state, but all the other states funneled that money directly to the DNC, which quickly transferred the money to Brooklyn.

How is that not a clear case of fraud and maybe money laundering?

> Yet the states kept less than half of 1 percent of the $82 million they had amassed from the extravagant fund-raisers Hillary’s campaign

So she is directly responsible for not having people on the ground in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin? Russians hacked her agenda apparently too and diverted her plane from there.

> Bernie was familiar with it, but he and his staff ignored it.

Why didn't they raise a stink? I am guessing the administration at the time who would investigate anything was headed by Obama and he was campaigning for Hillary. So stuff like this would have been squashed pretty quickly.
This article has a chart of the Mac's average selling price and fairly constant its been: http://www.asymco.com/2017/07/31/how-much-will-the-new-iphon...

It ticked up a bit recently because of the MacBook Pro with TouchBar; the iMac Pro[1] ships next month at a starting price of $4999; we know there will be a revised Mac Pro[2] in 2018 that will be similarly priced for starters but probably go significantly higher depending on the configuration.

[1] https://www.apple.com/imac-pro/specs/

[2] https://www.macworld.co.uk/news/mac/new-mac-pro-2018-latest-...

So the average selling price and units will continue to increase due to the pent-up demand for pro-level Macs.
America's extreme leftists (AKA SJWs) aren't center-right. They want socialism, they want to silence everyone who disagrees with them, they are willing to use any tactic (including censorship and even violence) to get what they want, and yet, in a startling lack of self-awareness, they consider the center-right half of the country "Nazis".

This attempted act of censorship by an ex-Twitter employee is a fairly tame example of their tactics, though notable for affecting the President.
No, it’s to stop the flow of sewerage into the water supply. Stop pretending Trump is some sort of rational participant in a Gentleman’s debate.
> So Apple's effective tax rate is 23%. ... Honestly that's better than I expected, but still less than it should be. ... Federal corporate income tax is 35%

That's misleading. You're comparing their global effective tax rate versus the US Federal rate. The question is how much did Apple pay in taxes in the US, on US-based profits.

23% isn't less than it should be, it's extremely reasonable compared to rates around the world. The OECD average statutory corporate income tax rate is around 24% (the effective rate is even lower).

The average effective corporate income tax rates for 2012: UK, 10%; Germany, 14%; Canada, 16%; Australia, 17%; China, 19%; France, 20%; South Korea, 20%.

Even Scandinavian nations like Finland (20%) or Sweden (22%) have lower statutory rates (to say nothing of the effective). Denmark has a reputation for having a government spending rate that is among the highest on earth among developed nations as a share of its economy, and its statutory rate is merely 24.5%.

"You won't believe what happened when these people changed from x to y" /s

I’m not making a “slippery slope” argument. On the other hand, I concede that my tone could give the wrong impression.

To clarify — I think people should be free to buy or sell any food product. I don’t think we should punish a seller because buyers happen to overbuy the product.

I think the goverment’s role should be limited to punishing bad actors. For example, a seller who deceives or cheats buyers.

It's not "who", it's "what". Instigating violence is forbidden for one example. Defamation too.

Nazism is based on belief that some ethnicities are to be blamed for all evil in the world (defamation), and proposes to deal with that by one ethnicity exterminating or enslaving the others (instigation of violence).

Does it really surprise you it's forbidden in many countries, and many websites doesn't want to have it promoted on their property?

And additionally - twitter is a private website. It's not censorship, when a newspaper chooses who can write articles for them. Make your own newspaper if you disagree.

Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade. The men who you are going to win championships with are all going to be very different people. What makes them champions is the boring old habits that nobody sees. They compete to see who can be the first to get to the gym and the last to leave.
Your peers who think this is a cliché, or who think this doesn’t apply to them because they have God-given talent, will play their whole careers without winning an NBA title. »

This reminds me of the project I am currently working on.

.NET/QML https://github.com/pauldotknopf/net-core-qml

Not quite production yet, but it will be soon. I'd love to here some input. You can check the unit tests for how things are working currently.

At a certain point, I will also implement a Qml debugger in visual studio code.

California, in general, has seen massive housing price increases. A lot of them came from other expensive places, and it sounds like often they came for a specific job or opportunity or need (medical care is a recurring theme).

I find it sort of horrific that folks are having to make decisions like, "Do I get good health care and live in a van or do I live in an apartment I can afford?"

I still can't get over the guy who was on a transplant list but was removed from the list because he lived in a box truck. There's something sick about a society that lets that happen, but I don't know what the cure is.

The 10,000 hour figure (which is just an arbitrary number, not an absolute rule according to Anders Ericsson[1] whose research Malcolm Gladwell referred to) implies you can reach mastery with a lot of practice, given you do the right kind of practice.

Mastery is the ability to perform a skill, it's not about knowledge. You need knowledge to perform, but knowledge without being able to perform does not imply mastery.

Good UI makes the effort of doing the 'right thing' very little, and the effort of doing the 'bad thing' as costly as possible.

Design (in my opinion) is planning out what good and bad things are for a given tool and determining how to express that through the UI.
Well one solution is to take the reddit approach, where you allow different communities to mostly choose who they want to interact with on their own free will.

In twitter's case, one way to do this would be to give users more power over what shows up in their feed, and who they interact with.

Perhaps they could allow users to compile their own community block lists. IE, a group of volunteer moderators would compile their own block lists together, and then if you want to subscribe to the "Trump Trolls block list" then you can feel free to do so.

And the people who DON'T like your block list, can feel free to NOT subscribe to it, or subscribe to their own "liberal trolls block list".

That way everyone wins. The trolls can troll, but you don't have to listen to see them if you don't want to.
Without sources for any of your claims (GOP supporters fearing an outing, CEO that would fire Trump voters) your comment comes over as a way to incite a heated discussion here, AKA trolling.
One of the things that exercise does for you is it helps your body take out the trash. I see no means for a pill to replicate that function. Without that, it seems pretty obvious that there will be negative long term consequences to getting your "exercise" in pill form.

This is how this works:

Lymph is basically the clear part of the blood with stuff like red blood cells removed. One piece of the lymphatic system is powered by the heart. But lymph is also called interstitial fluid. It exists throughout the body. It circulates, moving back and forth between tissues and your blood.

When it moves back to your blood, it takes waste products with it, leaving behind cleaner, healthier tissue. These wastes mostly get removed when you urinate.

Physical activity dramatically increases the rate at which lymph gets moved back to the blood. I have seen figures anywhere from 3 to 8 times as fast as when you are sedentary.

Walking a whole lot, sometimes hours a day, has played a big role in my healing journey. I believe this increased cleansing process is a key detail as to why that has helped.
Or just use IPFS.
Working on pretty much anything (besides the work required for basic sustenance or work under threat).....is something that defines WHO WE ARE; to a certain degree.So a person with highly creative tendencies, may be attracted towards sculpture art or sand art, depending on the ease of availability of tools for that activity in his immediate environment.

So to say that one should start early, is a bit difficult to follow through..I think one can only engage with activities which gives him/her great pleasure and try to repeat some of those activities from time to time.Some activities won't stick around and some will.
And the activities that stick around will create a trajectory for you over a period of time(10-20 years).

> I am pretty sure because of my political views the Twitter support representative decided they didn't like me.

That's conveniently completely unprovable. That said, there should be (some) recourse when you feel like you've been treated unfairly. A second opinion or escalation.

On the flip side: Twitter is a company. It might be comprised of people that share a certain opinion and this will show in how they behave. That's how it works with any product or service. There's a gap between what is "morally good" and what you're actually entitled to in terms of treatment by someone else.
Ask HN: Source for Art and Fear ceramics story
Classic story goes something like this:

A pottery teacher told half his class that their grade will depend on one single piece that they'll produce at the end of the term.
He told the other half that their grade will be based on the volume of all the pieces they create.
Which half do you think produced better work by the end?

It is used a ship fast, ship often teaching moment, and I like it. However, I can't find any sources of any ceramics teacher who has ever done this.

Anyone have any sources? Feels more like a parable than a real story right now.

That’s because being a Splitter brings more status, citations, and a better career.

Academia doesn’t value negative results (‘we spent years and tons of money on this, but it looks like there’s only one species’ or ‘we found another few homo erectus bone fragments’) as high as positive ones (‘a new species of great ape’ or ‘the first evidence for a missing link’)

There likely also is bias in what appears in the press. That will affect a layman’s perception of the distribution between Lumpers and Splitters.

(For human languages, governments often push towards splitting. “A language is a dialect with an army”)
Agreed on this. The more important controls should be operable by a suited astronaut, and should also try to express the current 'feedback' of the system state.
I don't understand why you are getting downvoted. Stalin killed millions of soviets.

All central and eastern european countries can testify how terrible it was when communists invanded their countries and took everything from them, including all posessions and freedom.

When my mother in law (who always lived in Slovakia) was in Belgium, we saw a guy with a soviet hammer and sickle t-shirt. She was shocked why anyone would freely wear something like that.
I'm pretty sure the guy just thought it was cool.

So my question to the downvoters: why are nazi's bad and communists not?

The article says they fairly quickly tried to reduce speed once they noticed something was wrong. But due to a (UI?) mistake they only reduced speed for 1 engine. It wasn't until 3 minutes later they finally fixed that mistake but by then it was too late.

So they were unable to understand their own speed controls.

The difference between JavaScript and ECMAScript
For the former, a sibling commenter has provided a HN discussion regarding a CNN article with a 10+ minute interview with people who are being interviewed with a voice changer for fear of being outed.

Regarding the latter, here's Grubhub's CEO calling for Trump voters to resign: The CEO of Grubhub, an online food delivery service, sent a company wide email Wednesday suggesting employees who agree with President-elect Donald Trump’s behaviors and his campaign rhetoric should resign.[1].

I remember reading articles from reputable media outlets for both issues, but I personally do not know peers who feel this way (which makes sense because well, if the news were true, many of them are in hiding). Hence the genuine inquiry towards an actual person -- a HNer -- who would have first hand experience with such attitudes. It's honestly a very rare chance to be able to ask someone this; I frankly only know one GOP voter within the several hundred tech people I am acquainted with.

I sincerely must ask in return whether you are trolling me, since you seem to be unaware of the fact that these issues have been widely reported on in the past.

Yep. Completely false. The in-use phase of ICE cars belches so much carbon that the car's construction phase carbon can safely be ignored in a first approximation of impact. The reason construction phase carbon is important in an EV is that it can be the only carbon that matters. When an EV is recharged exclusively from renewable sources, as many are, the use phase carbon is effectively zero. Which makes the construction phase important to measure, but the total lifecycle carbon impact of an EV can still be orders of magnitude less than that of an ICEV.
I was really excited when I saw this because I thought someone had finally brought us a .net alternative to electron, using xaml. Unfortunately this seems to be electron but with a .net webapp running in the background? You still need node and webkit for the UI it seems. If that's what this is, it was already possible to do with edge.js and electron so I'm not sure what advantage there is here.
