> I'd suggest you learn both.

I'd suggest OP learns Python 3 and try really hard not to look at Python 2 ever, which hopefully shouldn't be too hard in 2017.

> as long as you can write Python 2/3 compatible code

Maintaining a Python 2 and 3 compatible codebase in a PITA. OP wants to learn a new language, presumably to build things with it. But your advice is that they acquire insight of all the mistakes of a language that was released 7 years ago (that's for 2.7, 2.0 was release in 2000) and will reach end-of-life in 2 years.
I'd really like to understand why in the world you would want to learn Python 2 and its “warts“, to then discover that all this stuff are just unnecessary pain points that were removed/refactored/cleaned up in Python 3.
In my opinion, Python 2 and 3 are two different languages and should be treated like so.

> [not] doing your users a favor, if you go exclusively Python 3

Actually you are. If you start a project today and make it Python 2 + 3, you are forcing your users (most of whom in 2017 would be proud Python 3 users anyway) to cope with a. all the bugs introduced by the compat code you have to write and b. the delayed releases/bugfixes caused by the subtle Python 2/3 discrepancies you'll face one day or the other.

I will make no comment on the IE6 comparison: this isn't about corporate employees or banking apps from the 90's.
Can we just ban pointless snark like this? No matter if it's directed at Google or Apple or whatever.

It just has no substance and is tiresome to read over and over again.
I feel like you can tell a good rails developer by finding who thought it was hard to learn. There really is a lot you need to know under the magic, and if you can learn to create compatible magic in your own code the framework becomes incredibly extensible.

My Rails projects have always been the ones that felt the most done on their initial release. That extra time not typing and configuring goes into caching, validation, UX, and making nice solutions to project specific problems that fit nicely and don't become pain points as time goes on. All these things that can feel shortchanged in other projects get more of the polish they need sooner.
>Note: I’m not defending trump or suggesting that the people he blocked were necessarily trolls at all. I’m just trying to think through this issue in general.

You must be new here. The logic on HN goes "whatever I want, is good and thinking about wider repercussions is stupid."

The second we get a _new_ President, say, a Democrat black woman, and she gets spammed with non-stop dick pics and lynching pictures, all a sudden everyone in HN is going to be like "omfg, the President should be able to block trolls."

It's basic tribalism. "My team" is the good guys, so whatever they do is good. As opposed to logic, where "things" are good and bad and they make the people good or bad. People here believe "my candidate/group/alliance are good" and if they do something "evil" then [insert mental gymnastics].

We're literally experiencing a secular religion in the 2010's. Which is why everyone gets so emotional and outraged as if you're talking about their religion when you bring up simple politics. And, why they strive so hard to "out" and smash anyone who is a threat to their religion. Secular witchhunts. Exposing the non-believers for virtue points.

And it's not entirely their fault. These religious aspects are human (biological) aspects. Humans are innately spiritual. The real flaw was thinking that simply having "no religion" somehow prevents you from acting out the same vices of the religious, like witchhunts, proving your alliance/purity/etc, and lynchmobs to destroy "invalid" members of the in-group.

Try being a liberal and then (for the sake of example) tell people you converted to conservatism. It'll be like you were a religion and just insulted the honor of everyone in your family, friends, and community. You betrayed "the group." They will not only cut off all communication with you, but attack you. You have "left the faith" and betrayed them. Google what happened to the Feminist (laci green?) who dated a MRA and then said "I'm still a feminist but maybe both sides have fair points, like male suicide rates." She got instant death threats. Letters full of poop. Graffitti on her house.

A bunch of white feminist guys telling a woman to kill herself. How can you call that feminism? Oh yeah, because religion. She threatened the religion by questioning it and dating an outsider so it's now "righteous" to destroy her.

I'm honestly hard pressed to find any difference between the witchhunts of the 90's neo-cons, to the witchhunts of the 2010's progressives. People's lives are being destroyed. Who cares what "cause" the perpetrators have when the real minorities are being crushed under gigantic religious-political movements?

I love this sentence.

I would prefer that API anyway, because it would allow writing reusable code that generates the unsent objects. This is a killer feature of ORMs like Active Record (although in that case you don’t need an explicit “execute” method because it decides to execute the query when you attempt to iterate on the object.)

If you are a US citizen, then yes to both questions. Trading any asset for another (which would include spending EUR for goods) creates a taxable event, on which you must declare your gain on the sold asset based on its fair market value at the time of exchange. There are exemptions for certain types of property (notably section 1031 like kind exchanges for real property).

When I hear stories like this I think of the developers who likely thought of and implemented the systems behind these criminal acts and I'm once more reminded that software developers, in aggregate, are on a similar level to '90s finance "tricksters" etc. We'll do whatever if the money is there.
By comparison, here in Australia, for federal elections, pay rates for polling officials working on election day range from AUD$409 up to AUD$989 + $63 retirement superannuation.

$100 is just astoundingly low.

A lot of people so ios 11 is no more buggy than previous versions, but i honestly disagree. iOS 11 has just been a mess. They say, wait till the .2 or .3 release and it'll get better. Sooo... that's 3 to 6 months of using a bug riddle OS just for it to get good. We're just supposed to put up with that?

I guess we are supposed to.
It's too bad you are getting downvoted, you aren't wrong, it's just not fun to hear.

Now, getting to the DMV to apply for an ID card can be a hardship on people given the hours that the DMV operates and the fact that you usually need to set aside several hours to deal with waiting in line and such. If you hold 2 or 3 jobs, and missing part of a shift means getting fired, you probably don't have the time to go to get an ID. (Hell, you probably also don't have the time to actually go to the polls to vote, but that's another issue.)

If this statement can be made in this same thread and upvoted as an argument for why IDs are too difficult to get for voting purposes, surely that's an unnecessary hardship irrespective of voting and should be fixed.
The advance is just front money. There's definitely a standard royalty.

The protests are also a way to pressure the government to work on such legislation. A government can only do so much, and it usually prefers to prioritize voting laws that do not annoy their donors.

Also, few journalists would report on the protest otherwise.
Well, the primary point of the piece is that I was a woman on the street and, in some sense, it was a choice for me because I had been offered a place to stay on more than one occasion. In some cases, it was pretty clear that I would be trading sex for a place to say. I turned down those offers.

All people make choices, even very poor people who are faced with nothing but bad options. In such a situation, the best you can do is try to choose the lesser evil. But it is really disingenuous and dehumanizing to act like homeless people make no choices whatsoever.
The French were primary architects of the EU. It's a bit rich to complain now that Ireland and Apple are taking advantage of its rules.

The only reason they're a competitor is because the FCC blocked at&t acquiring them which triggered a clause where at&t had to give them spectrum. The FCC desperately needs to implement a use it or lose it policy on spectrum.

I feel some commenters are missing the point that these symbolic protests are only trying to bring the general issue of tax optimization to the public eye. I'm pretty sure no one went there thinking: "Ok let's shout a few slogans and then Apple will apologize and send a billion dollars check to the French government." They most likely chose Apple only because it is an easy target because of the ubiquitous Apple stores.
30 years later, scheme is still scheme. A different report has come out, and some compilers choose to implement it. But the language hasn't changed. See my point?
Love the photo of him with the radio. I was trying to identify the radios, but can't quite. I'm going to hazard a guess that the transmitter is a Hallicrafter's HT-44, crystal-controlled, morse-code only transmitter, about 50 Watts out. It looks like the matching receiver stacked on top of it, but I'm not familiar with that receiver. That would have been a pretty common, and fairly nice, beginner's rig in those days.

Somewhere in the family archives is a similarly nostalgic photo of me, circa 1972. My radios were not quite as spiffy. For the most part, each crop of beginners bought the hand-me-down radios from the guys a couple years ahead of us, and handed them off the same way to the next crop. Fond memories. There is something about the smell of a hot, dusty, vacuum tube warming up on a winter evening that is unforgettably sweet.

so like a quarter of a percent of all Americans? How long are we going to keep going down this path?
Absolutely. Such a remedy is completely inadequate as compensation for the damage done to those whose personal information has been compromised.
Sure there is. That's precisely why so many people keep polling with disapproval at the Trump Presidency (~62%-67% disapproval per the latest Gallup polls, exceptionally high numbers).

I don't mean that in snark in the least. I mean it factually, the polls keep coming back with record disapproval. There's a reason for that. More people would prefer a higher degree of civility in politics, rather than lower.

A lot of people disagreed with George W Bush for example, but he had to launch a catastrophic, protracted, pointless war that lasted for years, to erode his approval numbers to where Trump is at during his first year. Bush was far more civil and respected as a politician (and he wasn't regarded as all that great at it).
I can get a fairly feature-complete Python up with Flask + Flask Admin, within a few weeks. 1-4 weeks I'd say is a good timeframe. Have done this multiple times. How does Rails stack up there? Not trying to enter a pissing contest .... I agree that Django is not faster than Flask for simple business crud apps.
I didn't notice that, thanks
I'll go out on a limb and say if you aren't a female I don't think you are well positioned to judge a woman's judgement towards wanting her "own" baby versus using a surrogate or adopting. (I'm not a female so I have no point of view here.)
Ireland allowed Apple a loophole where they were incorporated there, but non-resident, and therefore no tax. It was a sweetheart deal and Ireland got jobs and investment. The EU said no, wants the back tax to be paid.
Great to hear that you kill ME but I'll still stick with puri.sm or alpha.store because systen76 machines are just too freakin overpriced.

A primer on Elixir Stream
In the book, is the tourism is driven primarily by the inherent novelty and wonder of being on the moon, seeing Earth, experiencing the weaker gravity, etc., or is the draw primarily based on facilities that have been built there, like casinos, resorts, amusement parks, etc.?

My guess is that you would need to have a lot of the latter, because while the former would be undoubtedly cool, I’m afraid the novelty would wear off quickly if the living and entertainment facilities themselves were anything less than spectacular.
Ask HN: How do I know if an merge offer is good for my startup?
My startup just received a merge offer from a huge VC funded company. Their proposal is to create a new company that they would own 85%. They would give us their whole user base, pay for events, conferences and product marketing, cover all expenses (hiring, equipment, office, reallocation) and IF we could reach 20k users in one year (is a considerable amount in our field), our 15% would be transformed into a equivalent % of ownership of their holding company. In case that we say ‘no’ we couldn’t compete with them, but we have a plan B, C and D. They need us because they are noobs at this field and they want to get ahead of a company that is their biggest competitor. How do I analyze this offer properly?
Absolutely agree, my hope is to port into a slack bot that would then simply pull "do not disturb" hours :)
You are naive if you assume police in any country have your best interests at heart. An individual cop might, but in general they are rewarded for catching criminals, not necessarily in cash but in promotions, awards, and perceived job performance with their superiors.

It’s not just the US, more laws get passed everywhere making more individual behavior illegal. It’s just too easy to catch you on something.
Have your read the book Pedigree? It's about how people get these type of jobs written by a Kellog Professor. A lot of gatekeeping. Our society is not merit based.

It's OUR data, and WE as individuals are the ones who have to clean up the mess after aggregators spill it.

Perfect security is impossible, but let's not forget 1) who is harmed, or 2) who is getting rich and who will in a worst case will cut their losses, go bankrupt, then start another company with the accumulated weath.
On the one hand, a lower salary ensures people don't do it for the money. On the other hand, low pay can restrict the candidate to wealthier or higher-income individuals. This is a challenge in deciding out how much to compensate people for service, not just for a one-off such as this but for longer-term and more time-consuming roles as well.

One unfortunate side of progress and technological advancement is that it can be unethical, in the hands of people with less ethics.

Think of it this way: 1. Anybody in robotics/ai/ml is helping uav technology used for military purpose. 2. Anybody in financial lending could help fuel financial crisis. 3. Anybody in software could be enabling surveillance technology without even realizing.
Thanks for the clarification. Considering the existence of the EFF and the lobbying ability of all the large tech firms, I'm not that surprised if grassroots lobbying is a bit thin on the ground on such topics. I know that people show up to lobby on privacy issues at city council meetings here in Oakland.
She does in the winter but that's not really the same, though. My point was that these things can be really important to people. It might not be enough to base policy decisions on but it's a real concern
Yes, especially the last version of the last major branch. I would love to go back to iOS10.

I'll probably never update my phone to a new major iOS version until it's been out at least 6 months. If iOS11 is ever reaches the point where it's as good as iOS10 was, I'll install the tvOS beta config and prevent updates. At least until I'm able to take the time and research if the latest version of iOS12 is in good shape for most users.

An even better idea, and what I'm probably going to do, is to only update from and to the last version of each major iOS. Then you don't have to time anything at all and do any research/guesswork. Your device just works as well as it can, for the longest period of time. Everyone else beta tests Apple's software for you.

I really wish I were on 10.3.3 and had the tvOS profile right now. Never again.
Yes, thank you for linking, but fail to see the correlation. This tool is scanning public HTTPS endpoints based on keywords in its dictionary to discover misconfigured buckets. AWS doesn't manage the bucket Perms/ACL, the customer does. AWS' shared-responsibility model clearly defines all of this. The customer is responsible for the bucket ACL, the same would apply if I ran my stack in a data center and went on to configure Apache/NGNIX with open Directory indexes that allowed anyone to traverse them.

We need more judges like him to make the judiciary functional.
I am a former homemaker and full-time mom. Most self proclaimed feminists I have interacted with have been virulently hostile, disrespectful and contemptuous of me. They seem to not see full-time motherhood as a legitimate choice at all. It sometimes feels to me like they wish a man would take care of them, but they don't know how to make that work, so hating on me is de rigueur.

It is one of the reasons I spend so much time on Hacker News. Most men are less aggravating for me to deal with.

It is also part of why I do not self identify as a feminist.

>Harvest.ai’s flagship, patent-pending AI product is called MACIE Analytics. It uses AI to monitor how a customer’s intellectual property is being accessed in real-time, assessing who is looking at, copying or moving particular documents, and where they are when they’re doing this, in order to identify suspicious patterns of behavior and flag potential data breaches before they’ve taken place. It bills the service as a way to combat the risk of insider attacks.

Randomized controlled studies have little to no scientific value. Too easy to report random results, impossible to control for all factors, sample sizes never remotely large enough.

Hacker News should focus on important issues, which are not always technical. The Senates's tax overhaul is an important issue. The outrageous behavior of the Republican Senators to get the bill passes is an important issue.
Indeed. Getting more judges like him at the bench may well be our greatest imperative.
It seems like a specious claim that they're struggling to afford it, when so many do manage to afford it.
They were clearly allowed to resign. Three employees responsible for a major screwup don’t all suddenly get new Jobs at the same time.
No, they're mad because they were sold the benefits of vertical integration, tight control, limited options etc leading to better user experience albeit at higher prices. The better user experience part is not holding up in recent reality and people are rightfully dissatisfied.

You've to remember people pay premium prices for Apple stuff. If I buy a $300 Moto whatever I'm much less inclined to complain if it breaks vs when I'm buying a $800+ iDevice.
IANAL but you can't just wait indefinitely if it's viewed as letting evidence deteriorate or setting a kind of trap for the infringer.

Apple is heavily biased on the subject so I would not take their PR at face value. It's in their best interest to pretend that all the value is created in the US in order to reduce taxes.

Let's say I can recreate the new IPhone with only 1/1000 of the budget of Apple's R&D, would I make a profit? Yes of course I would. If Apple could create their new IPhone for only 100$ of total R&D, be sure they would do it.

On the other hand, ask yourself why there is no Apple Store in a lot of African countries. It's because Apple does not meet the local markets requirements for a store there to be profitable, so they would not get any value out of it.

R&D being a cost center is the reason most of the countries in the world have tax-breaks specifically on R&D and also why the copyright laws are that harsh to prevent ripping of all the value by selling copies of your competitor.
Yep, like a company culture they weren’t fixable in a couple months.

The "security model" for the current method of payment in the United States involves getting breached left and right, getting 97 years of credit report monitoring, constant reissuance of cards, and refunding fraudulent charges sometimes as late as 30 days after the fact.

BTC happens to be worse currently, but not by that much.

EDIT: Also, this is the same model as PGP/GPG and priv/pub key protection. Presumably you don't think this security model is shitty for the myriad of uses it sees.
