IMO it’s not about if Twitter is a private space or not it’s about government officials using it as a public space to inform the public. Government officials blocking people clearly does infringe on their first amendment right to be informed even though Twitter isn’t public. The article even points out that if I hold a public press briefing (on private property or not) you can’t stop journalists you don’t like from attending or asking questions. This is the same thing with Twitter; they are fine to have their own rules about blocking people but as soon as government people are using this forum in a public sense their tweets become protected in a way you or me blocking someone doesn’t.

To take this even further, if I have a private property and I ban you from it that’s fine, you don’t have a right to be there. But if I’m holding public events on private property you have a right to be able to at least hear what’s being said and maybe even organise a protest against it.

At least that’s the way I read the arguments put forward in the article anyway...
Or just have roof top gardens.
They are actually called "professional" schools, but yeah it's a euphemism that means the same thing.
Cool setup. But if you're incrementally sending snapshots to a non-ZFS host (S3), your S3 storage will keep growing indefinitely, because you can't delete any snapshots from there ever, since they reference each other. Correct?
But I doubt the latter contributes in the same way.

Not that quick. I'm familiar with a certain department in a certain party school in the Midwest. The faculty in that department is entirely white, with the exception of one Indian, who was hired long ago. There is no reason to believe that the applicant pool contains mostly white people or that the top applicant is invariable white - the job market in the Sciences has been LOUSY the last ten years!

But the department is all-white. You'd think it tells something about the atmosphere in that institution, and indeed it's frankly xenophobic.
In some places. In Ireland, law is a normal undergraduate degree with some extra vocational training after you graduate. Medicine is an undergraduate (5 year) programme, during which quite a lot is vocational - students spend multiple months in hospitals during that period, and when they graduate they are still considered as training.
> is blocking them not the digital equivalent of escorting an unruly attendee from the room?

Absolutely not. Blocking someone is the digital equivalent of turning your back to them. They can still interact with you. You're just choosing to not see.

> If a someone threatens trump or sends him dick pics

This is illegal behaviour. The account should be reported by users, deleted by Twitter, and handed to local authorities for criminal investigation (threats, harassment, etc.)
I read somewhere that even the NSA didn't call their program PRISM when they used it.. so officials could honestly say they didn't know what you were talking about when you mentioned PRISM. Interesting, no?
It is somewhat amusing that they give scholarships to people with financial industry background, who are the least in need, and who will receive the highest salaries on exit - and then claim that their scholarships are need based.

At least they are teaching their students the ethics they need to succeed in the financial industry.
This is an interesting idea that I'll have to try.

I have the 3 primary skillset problem you describe and have a decade of "founder" experience. I thought the breadth of experience and technologies would be impressive, but I think it just confuses most employers. It seems counter-intuitive to intentionally not mention your skills on your resume, and admittedly a little ego-deflating.. but this actually makes sense.

This issue occurred to me as well (especially for encrypted tarballs). My workaround was to create a listing of the files that accompanies the tarball, such as: "backup.tar" and "backup.list".

Bitcoin has a somewhat arbitrary denomination. What is the ratio of information transfer in 1 bitcoin versus a half of a coin? The answer is ....close to 1. How about 1 Satoshi? Well, gas fee needs to be a fraction of the payment, so 1 Satoshi is close to 0 utility. How accurate does gas payment need to be? Well, for starters, gas payment seems to be a fixed fee of the payload, not a ratio of the amount sent. Lets analyze this.

Higher fiat pinnings allow for higher remittance transfers using less coins, but ultimately the same network resources (mining.) How do most regular people buy coin, do they bargain? No, they just buy $500 or however many dollars IN BTC and take whatever ratio is given to them. This is because stock does not come in fractional amounts...but BTC does. Meaning there is a stabilizing force in the form of common people "settling" for a small piece at their desired fiat amount.

In summary, until Bitcoin hits amounts close to 10^5, the Satoshi as the smallest sendable amount, 10^8 coins, continues to provide close to the same amount of utility, whether you are sending 1000 satoshis, or 10 bitcoins.
Have you heard of the Opportunity Rover? I believe it has outlasted its designed lifetime a few times now. Also, its still operational.

The only way we can even contact Voyager is the fact that we have better radio signal processing on earth and that has been improving since we launched Voyager.

What you say is mostly correct but the undertone "wild west", "unsophisticated", "manipulation", etc fails to address the point because that is true of most hedge funds as well.

It's an interesting argument, but in practical terms, who cares if the government can't censor your tweets when Twitter itself -- an arbitrary, non-transparent entity, with zero representation for users -- can censor your tweets?

It could be a nice first-step to more fair social media, though.

(People are arguing that twitter is not a public forum, it's just a private service, &c. Sure, maybe in origin, but practically speaking, twitter is probably the most important public forum there is right now. Being barred from twitter is a huge loss of ability to participate in civic life.)
I would miss the django ORM. Depends if you like the ORM.
My daughter is applying for colleges. When a college says that they only offer need-based aid, what it means is that we can't afford it. Yet I've encouraged her to apply to a few of those colleges anyway, based on the assumption that they don't only offer need based aid.

No need for doubt when there's data.

In particular, the data time and again show that in the US wage gaps persist for women and minorities. [0] [1]

So if "diversity candidates" who matriculate to Stanford have above average median salaries post-graduation, these scholarships are "good for the reputation" in the same way.

"A homeowner NIMBYite is exactly the same as a renter that agitates for imposing rent control."

Perhaps.

But a democratic process that generates NIMBY policies is the same as a democratic process that generates rent control: neither outcome is off-limits in our Democracy and both should be respected.

I personally value democracy more than I value land-use policy in one particular place. I further find it disheartening to hear of disregarding democratic outcomes from the very same progressive left that should be championing that process.
Most of these examples are strategic mistakes, not execution. Execution means, the ability to do what you set out to do.

Not focusing on the right objective is not, IMHO, an execution problem. It's a vision problem, a leadership failure.
Still stock vs flow.
The advantage of Django is it comes bundled with everything you could need. Flask is simple, but then you need user authentication. Which library do you use? Is it updated and maintained? What about an ORM, forms, templating, localzation. Do they all work together?

Suddenly it's not so simple.

That being said, if your app really is simple (single file, under 100 lines) flask is excellent.
One disadvantage of Django is that database providers need to know a lot about the internals of the framework. This shows once you rely on a 3rd party developed database provider, which can break even on minor upgrades.
I was surprised how easy it is to setup a time-machine-like backup with rsync. I'm backing up every hour to my server, and a cron job prunes the backups every night. Disarmingly simple.
Why was this thread nuked from the front page? It was like #2 when I checked and now a few minutes later it's gone.
Bzzt. Nope. Epigenetics is heritable as are child-rearing practices and this is a cross-sectional design, not longitudinal. (Not even within-family comparisons!) For all they know, those epigenetic differences were present from birth, as is often the case. Yet another epigenetics study whose overhyped causal claims are dead on arrival.
Notes on Idris
If golang is your thing, take a look at this[0] or that[1].
You can probably find similar ones with some quick research.

The neat part is that you can easily pull down someone's github keys and automatically authenticate them against that identity.
You can follow up with an email/password registration as a backup identity provider, if you really want to push the envelope (and save the public key for future automatic authentication).

Of course, if you're just looking to hack something together quickly, you can simply force a specific command to be run.

I haven't had the opportunity to dive deeply into capsule networks yet, but I have been fairly excited by what little I've read so far. I think that Hinton et al are brilliant and definitely taking neural nets in the right direction by trying to approximate more of the mid-level organization of the brain, but I feel like recent attempts to integrate things like attention and memory into nns are still at a very elementary level. This isn't to denigrate recent work at all: this is a stage we have to cross on our way to more powerful intelligent systems, and you're right that pragmatically one of the best ways to further the field is to focus on making models that are useful in their current state even if they poorly approximate more complex systems. On the whole, I'd wager the state of the field is still at the Bohr model level, but progressing rapidly.
According to other comments, people don't seem to care about who moves in / from where, rather they care about their property value being diluted.
> If I were to use Flask, is there anything that I could not do but that Django could?

No, but it might be simpler.

When I started doing webdev in Python I used Flask (it's so slim, they said) and I still like it, but if you have some kind of DB in the back and care about user management, Flask won't help you.

Most people then use sqlalchemy and specific extensions for Flask to handle the user and security stuff. Although this works, I would advise you to start with Django.
When you offer diversity-based scholarships as opposed to need-based, you don’t actually select for the people who are disadvantaged because of their background; you select for people who are not disadvantaged and incidentally have a background that may disadvantage other people.

If your goal is to help disadvantaged people, you should be giving out some combination of need- and merit- based scholarships.
This is interesting.

Why would Hillary blocking RogerStone be against free speech when he can still use the platform to tweet. The first amendment does not mean someone has to listen to you. You just have to have the ability to disseminate ideas.

On the other hand, twitter suspending Hillary or Roger Stone, even being a private company, is more a direct threat to speech, given the stranglehold Goog-Twitt-Book have on communication.

It seems to me EFF have things a bit backwards here.
It's not entirely pointless. The status quo is that all internet sites are private platforms. If the case can be made that some parts of the internet work as "public squares" than the argument for a neutral internet is much stronger.
Agreed. The builder pattern is well established and useful, and is a lot simpler to understand (and less bug prone) than what is being proposed here.
If Twitter is a public forum then should they be allow to even ban accounts? Also, can officials have private accounts? In the case of Trump, maybe he isn't allowed to ban people from the @POTUS account but is allowed to ban them from his private @realDonaldTrump account.
I just thought of something else: it might be a good idea to go around and make a collection of all the different job titles that broad-knowledge people (e.g. "technical artist", "full stack") are given in different industries, and find the ones that fit you. Then study the roles. That way you'll have a language for looking for jobs and will have a better idea of where you might fit in and how to have conversations about it.
respectfully, that's not nearly the same scenario as mine.

This was an honest mistake of selecting Apple iTunes instead of Apple Store. Sure, the mistake was certainly on our end, but Apple has always taken care of these easy requests.

Why? Because these things happen! And when you understand where the customer is coming from, and they have proven and shown all the documentation requested, why not service the request? Especially when you're the world's most valuable company, it makes no reason not to because customer loyalty is how you got there.
Perfect, golang definitely is my thing, I've been using that to build my cli tool. Thanks!
This is an interesting argument. I'm persuaded that, say, the Department of Agriculture can't apply viewpoint-based discrimination on whom they choose to block from their Twitter feed.

It's much less clear to me that this restriction should apply to every government official using Twitter in the same manner as a private citizen might. What's the limiting principle? The First Amendment applies just as much at your local school board meeting as it does at a White House press conference; does that mean each of those elected officials must treat their social media accounts as public forums if they ever choose to use them to chat about official business as @realdonaldtrump does?
i’ve been wanting a feminist hacker news for some time. somewhere where ignorant loud space-takers dont wave thoughtless opinions around like dicks in a workplace. somewhere where i can talk about news without worrying if my experiences will be believed, or my value undermined. somewhere where “feminine” communication and support is a norm.

does this exist anywhere? let’s make this happen. anyone interested? email me and we’ll figure out next steps all together.
Companies can have both a diversity policy and a policy to make sure the top talents don't go elsewhere.

University too, can have a diversity policy as well as a merit policy. To compete and attract the best students, University must either provide merit based scholarship, or organize with other universities to get rid of merit based scholarships everywhere (cartel!)

There's nothing wrong per se with awarding this aid either needs based or merit based. Awarding it merit based seems to be working for Stanford based on results. Moreover, this is for graduate business school. I'm a crunchy progressive but I see no problem with this private school doing whatever they want (legally) if it works for them which it apparently does.

But awarding them merit based and then claiming to be needs based is hypocrisy.

I had the same problem except when I updated to High Sierra, not after. I had this problem on my hard drive that "corrupted" it in a way neither Disk Utility nor Terminal accessed from the masOS recovery could fix. And before you ask, this was network recovery, so the recovery image I was using was technically not on my hard drive-- meaning I could wipe the entire drive and reinstall macOS if I had to.
Found out that I'd have to wipe it, update, and restore from my backup. Easy-ish, right?
No.
Once I updated, I was presented with a debacle as Apple just dropped AFP support in High Sierra. Problem is, I have been using a NAS to store my Time Machine backups. THE NAS CONNECTED TO MY COMPUTER USING AFP. I had to downgrade back to Sierra, restore from the network backup, back up my system to an external hard drive, wipe the Mac's SSD, update, and restore from the backup. Only took a few weeks to get all that done :)
And nope, Apple support did NOT help with this.
I read an article on HN a while ago about how Apple painlessly updated an entire Mac's filesystem without any hitches, and seemed to implement HFS+ backwards compatibility better than HFS itself. Whether that's true or not, High Sierra is by no means a painless update. And don't even mention the new root bug.
Right, so what's your alternative? Trust the government to print money at sustainable rates, and trust banks not to steal your money or censor your transactions?

You have to try, even if you know you can't solve all of the problems yet.
Legal ones who were vetted or just random people off the street?
We all need shelter - I cannot argue with that. However, we all don’t need shelter in the Bay Area. There is a great sense of entitlement in thinking that anyone should be able to move to any city they so choose and live comfortably. Pick a different city to find opportunity if you can’t afford to move to San Francisco. Space is at a premium, it’s no secret. I’m not against development in general, but in the case where you buy a piece of property in an area on the premise that there are 5 other homes in the area, and then artificially, as you say, 3 homes replace what used to be 1 home for a total of 7 homes, I wouldn’t be happy, and neither would you.
Because many people can't budget or plan on a multi-year, multi-step horizon like you are expressing above.

For those people, if their house goes up in value, it represents an important source of financial security (if they haven't gutted it via refinancing and HELOCs for renovations returning $0.60 on the dollar, new cars or vacations)

Even for people with decent financial planning skills, the home is such a large investment and typically bought with 5-33x leverage, that a small price drop is dangerous to their position.
I'm thinking exactly same thing.
It has changed my life in good and bad ways. The good ways: I stay on top of my business all of the time, it is easy to coordinate plans with friends, and I can get stuff done nearly anywhere (bills, shopping, etc.). The bad ways: Social anxiety, FOMO, phone addiction, etc.
That’s actually drives my point even further if even Novartis which is the second largest manufacturer of generics in the world has supply chain issues.
_arvin, you absolutely should send that email to Tim Cook. This level of customer experience is just unacceptable.

I am sorry but I don't understand... The standard specifies what is UB, and the implementations must behave accordingly to be standard-compliant.

If your code avoids UB behavior as specified by the standard it will run in the same way when compiled with any standard-compliant compiler.
In Orthodox (traditional) Judaism, which was the only Judaism until about 2 centuries ago, according to Jewish Law, men are obligated through a "commandment" (lit. "mitzvah") to "have as many children as possible" but the very minimum is "replacement which is a boy and a girl." (and not 2) so that if the man has only boys he has to keep having children until he has a girl.

Women were not obligated to have children, perhaps because the risks of childbirth could be very high up until the times of modern medicine.

Typically in Europe Jews were not allowed to own land. They created wealth not through land but through trades. Thus the agrarian concepts of wealth -- having enough land to grow food -- did not apply.

The argument for diversity as a good investment:

1. With high-income whites some dumb blokes may sneak in due to privilege and winging it based on family connections, etc. This might be happening at the expense of spunky smart low income whites or blacks who worked harder and were smarter to overcome their disadvantage to get to a point where they’re in the pool of those being considered for admission into Stanford.

2. Diversity hires bring fresh perspectives and help break group-think. In my experience, all-white, all-Indian, all-Asian, etc. teams were always inferior in terms of the experience of working there to diverse teams.

Comprehensive net neutrality would presumably also include edge service providers (ie, platforms), since they are potential gatekeepers regarding who can post bits and who can't post bits on their sites.
It looks great (and is playable on HiDPI, which FreeCIV native isn't, or wasn't last time I tried), but I still find the controls in the WebGL version entirely unusable. They're so fidgety, click-drag to move doesn't work (at least in Firefox on Linux), and I keep unintentionally interrupting my workers or just selecting the wrong unit to move.

I want to like it; as I love FreeCiv and have played it off and on for years (when I get bored with Civ, I might fire up a FreeCiv game for different mechanics), but it's really tedious to explore and do things. Hotkeys work, and I might be able to get comfortable enough with them to be efficient with them if I play a little longer to get my muscle memory back (it's been a few years since I really had much time for long Civ games), but the mouse is almost worse than useless.
Why? Async isn’t cost free - it’s more complicated and that complexity comes at a cost. If your company has only basic needs, you have to question whether you’re providing the best value for your company by doing anything more.
