Thiel is pretty deep into the 'neoreactionary' subculture with a distinct anti-democratic and racist bent. You're right to say that this isn't exactly conservative thought, but it is the sort of thought that comes from the people who are criticising the valley from the inside. The Curtis Yarvin types seem to be involved in the newest criticism against 'valley liberalism' more than genuinely conservative groups.

I've never seen much opposition to your run off the mill conservatism you find anywhere in the business world.
Right, and it seems that those relative percentages are the relevant figures, which might also be why they were reported.
Asking the right questions. :-) This is based on mitmproxy, so upstream certificates should be verified by default. I haven't played around with Chomper, but we have extensive tests for this in mitmproxy.

To be clear, compared to browsers you do loose some advanced mechanisms such as HPKP, Certificate Transparency log enforcement, Extended Validation certs, or revocation checking. I don't want to downplay this, but I would argue that this is not too significant for the average user, whereas mitmproxy is often a substantial improvement over what other non-browser software is doing.
"themed timelines" - yes, each theme that party city pushes every couple of months.. but also like the premium filters that snapchat offers on occasions people like.

If I was married to your idea thing here... I would make it so anyone could upload pics or text notes, vieos, etc to a url - and the cms would auto detect via time uploaded, or time photo was taken and places - (exif data if avail) - and have one click sort options.. one click - show all pics uploaded by time uploaded.. show my exif data.. show my each different person's uploads..

in order to get people to really use it.. it needs to be faster and easier to go to your site, grab a semi-secret url, upload and share.. than any other portal.

Why not just use facebook? not all of the people at this party are on facebook, nor do they neccesarily want to "become fbook friends just to share a pic" - plus to use fbook you need to sign in, or register, and share all kinds of data.. meh

so have some people you find at a local shopping center see how fast they can share a pic with people they just met.. is it faster to upload to flickr than your site? Is it faster to share via imgur? Why? How can your thing be faster?

I think, no registration to start a timeline, just upload and get a url that is easy to share via sms text msg, qr code, fbook invite..

only register if you want to save the timeline for more than 24 hours...

the on boarding process of riot.im is the best I've seen in ages.

your differential thing is faster to share, and more privacy in that you don't need to become fbook connected...

offer one click zip-all to download/ backup for a fee.

offer to make the url password protected, and auto send that pw via sms text to friends..

sponsored themes for wedding gold themes could be a semi easy sell to wedding companies..

one tap screenshot your any timeline pics (maybe with glitter flowing animation?) - with "davids bridal gowns" in the frame.. and easy save to drive / dropbox.. export to facebook... share via pinterst.. (individual items / pics etc)

This could work.. I have been thinking of this kind of thing for a long time.. been looking to make something like this where any group of friends could have their own "facebook" which is not facebook for $60 per year.. not each person, just one person in the group could pony up the dough..

if the system auto-backed up stuff - and notified each person in the group that the yearly dues were coming up and one person could pay it to keep storage for another year, or any number of people in that group could split the bill.. this could work.

Consider that this is the majority consensus in Japan and China. Imagine going to japan and saying "guys, this workplace is far too asian, what we really need here is some more indians, africans and arabs to get this workplace into the 21st century".

I think most people here could see that not going over well. Would we then think of china and japan as mostly racist?

I don't really want to get into racist/racial debate on HN, other than to say it's not some tiny opinion only held by white supremacists and neo-nazis.

That and you will find if you look into the research on race differences (eg: genetic influences on IQ) that these topics are not even close to be declared settled and are still hotly contested.

> This is because these are easy, early sounds a baby can make

Indeed, but while plosives are impossible in the uterus, humming is possible ("hummmmmmmm...") though it's likely not audible, it might resonate at deeper frequencies. After all they cry right when they come out and must have trained well for such vigorous performance.

Otherwise, hums are surely linked to pleasant and primitive, familiar emotions. A simple ADSR envelope around a hum gives quite a lot of expressiveness, too ("ha?" "aha!" "haha" "ahhh" "a ha ha" only with m, i.e. "hm?").

Also the ma syllable is linked to the sound of suckling (hence breasts is mama in Latin). Also, we say mother-tongue probably for a reason: Mothers are much more involved in early child rising and hence in teaching language. I guess that is evident in bilingual families if not taken special care of?
One of the primary tests for Celiac require the testee to eat a gluten-filled diet for an extended period of time so they can do some biopsies and check for autoimmune responses.

I don't have Celiac, but I have been gluten-free for almost 9 years. I can tell when I have gluten exposure due to some inflammation that isn't mistakable.

My bloodwork has been really good, so I opt to continue eating the way I do because it works well for me, even though I don't have an autoimmune response to gluten.
My understanding is that facebook also did that with PHP HipHop (PHP -> C) and react native (JS -> C/Java)

The person you're replying to never said you can't be outraged. They just said being outraged isn't the only valid course of action. They never even said they weren't outrage, he/she never gave an opinion on the president.

The gluten-free trend is helpful and non-helpful. Restaurants having vaguely or probably gluten-free items doesn't help me at all, because I can only eat strictly gluten free, as in certified gluten free by a lab, or whole foods such as raw chicken cooked in strictly untainted setting at home and handled at every step of the way using items that have never been used for gluten. Very few restaurants have that level of facilities or staff education. It's like having a peanut allergy where one speck will cause doom, but it's a delayed reaction that can build up over months, too.

After I was diagnosed I tried eating at restaurants and believing they could be careful enough, and it did not work out. The problem is often contamination of their ingredients - even if something has no gluten ingredients on the label, and even claims to be gluten free, it doesn't mean it's safe for celiacs. Even dried herbs and spices are commonly tainted. So you'd have to find a restaurant that has certified gluten free whole food ingredients for everything, and a complete duplicate kitchen where nothing has ever touched gluten.

You could take a gluten testing kit with you, but that's expensive, inconvenient, impractical, and you still might end up sitting at the table with nothing to eat.
Based on your examples, the "antisymmetry" of luck has much more to do with the probability of events than it does with the societal connotation of luck. You're more likely to get hit by a car than you are to be safe if you cross a busy road with a blindfold. The market is more likely to be not crashing than crashing in any particular point in time. We don't avoid using the inverse of "unlucky" to describe the inverse set of those scenarios because the inverse is simply likely, not because of a connotation with the word itself. Most events don't model a coin toss.

I don't think people avoid using one word or the other when it's appropriate. The words "lucky" and "unlucky" both map to the same positive statement ("This event that happened was unlikely"). But they have respectively opposite normative statements ("This event's occurrence is good" or "This event's occurrence is bad"). When a person does extremely well and it's unlikely to have happened, such a person will (in my experience) be straightforwardly honest and say things like, "I am very lucky", even if they very clearly had a hand in their success (such as by founding a successful company).

This is to say: I don't think people avoid using chance-based terminology to refer to their or others' success because of a profound insight about attribution. I think they avoid it because words such as "lucky" and "unlucky" are more often associated with events that are much closer to random than they are to simply unlikely. Going back to your examples: if I put a blindfold on and run into traffic, I have extremely limited agency with which to force an unlikely event (my safety) to happen. I'll be exceptionally lucky to be safe. But if I found a company and sell it for $10 billion, it's not comparable to assume I had little agency over that occurrence, let alone none at all.
The built in navigation system in my car seems to work in tunnels, presumably because it has data from the car itself to use for dead reckoning, but I haven’t found that to be the case with navigation apps or standalone GPS units.
How is fixing H1B abuse by a few companies (Infosys and such) considered an anti-immigration stance? As far as I know, the proposed solution was not to reduce the yearly cap on H1B visas (which indeed would reduce the number of immigrants), but to put higher base requirements, so the quality of an average candidate is better and that qualified candidates don't waste years and years trying to just get the visa while being stuck in a legal limbo. If anything, the current H1B system is more inhumane, because qualified people are playing the visa lottery in hopes that they will not get cut by someone like Infosys who mercilessly spams the visa system with all the resources they have.
You’d be better served expending energy reading my comment rather than proclaiming your failure to read it, friend.
I agree, this probably explains why there are fewer conservatives in software; they are less likely to want to work in software.

However, this isn’t actually the issue - the issue is that the (relatively small) population of conservative-leaning (or just not-entirely-liberal) people in SV and elsewhere cannot expect to speak their minds and also keep their careers. Even relatively milquetoast, vaguely conservative people like Brendan Eich are (evidently) at serious risk.
Without knowing anything about the poster you're replying to, I'll take an educated guess: they're not a single-issue voter. Politics is far, far too complex for anyone to (responsibly) be a single-issue voter in my opinion.
> It seems to me, from personal experience, that the people who feel alienated are the ones who bring politics to work in an overbearing contrarian way, seeking to cause offense under the guise of "debate," and then pretend to be shocked when people don't want to put up with their shit.

Like many other commenters in this thread, you choose a wording that would be more appropriate if the extent of the problem were obnoxious Republicans not getting invited to happy hour/their coworkers' birthday party/?. The type of situation that people complain about, whether it is accurate or not, seems to be more along the lines that if you are in the wrong half of Silicon Valley companies, being recognised as deviating from the obnoxious Democrat position on any issue of import may result in your colleagues organising to report you to HR and/or rile up a small city's worth of Twitter users to call for your company to terminate you or be boycotted itself, not to mention potential long-term consequences along the lines of easily googleable Medium articles with your name on them or entries in an unknown number of blacklists circulated to recruiters through activist backchannels. How accurate or common any of these are is completely up to discussion, but dismissing them as if any of what is alleged amounts to a normal and healthy free speech reaction just seems disingenuous.

My observation at a big-4 SV tech company is that people constantly bring up anti-Trump and basically anti-conservative viewpoints, but very rarely do conservatives bring up anti-liberal viewpoints.

Thankfully, most people there don't talk about politics. Maybe 5% of the population are constantly bringing it up though, rarely in direct work functions, but in any other message board or forum.

You sound like a perfect candidate to dig into Colour. There are a great many extremely knowledgeable people around that project that can help.

Mark Fairchild's Color Appearance Models is probably about the most canonical tome one can recommend, with the caveat above.

To do what you are seeking, you would need an accurate profile of your camera in question, as well as likely a spectrophotometer for the objects in question. It is a pretty tricky field.

I would encourage you to contact the Colour Science Twitter feed to get in on the Slack channel for help and guidance.

>I didn't have an upper middle class background.

Then you're an exception. If you came from a poor and uneducated background then congratulations on the climb but pretending that your story is an example of the average experience of the doctorate just isn't true ("The other students I met had similar stories and backgrounds"), even if those going through phd programs don't all have wealthy families, they commonly have family members who have done same thing which is a privilege all in it's own, one you can't even buy.

>I had none. I used none.

>I built it. I poured blood, sweat, and tears into it. No one helped elevate me above others.

You'll forgive me but everyone has had help.

>Only people who don't really know, who haven't experienced this first hand, who haven't interacted with the people actually going through this, could call this "privilege". The rest of us call it hard work, nose to the grind stone, luck, and the intelligence to capitalize on this luck, by recognizing a path to take advantage of this.

Oh boy here we go. Yeah like I said getting a medical degree is hard work, nose to the grindstone, luck and intelligence, all this stuff. Why is it that wealthy kids are vastly over-represented though? There's obviously additional components - the ability to get your kids into a good highschool, parents who have the time to devote a lot of attention to their kids, parents who have gotten a graduate degree themselves and so can better guide someone through it. There's all sorts of other privileges too, being interested in the right things, maybe even at the right time is a great example. Privileges are all around us. Maybe you really are a Horatio Alger story jumped off the page, if so recognize that you're the vast minority.
Oh I thought it was about JS insanity.

Well known caveats : don't use == but ===.

What about cmp implicit operator in js?

Well, it relies on == :)

same with lt/gt

"0" === 0
false
"0" < 0
false

"0" <= 0
true
"0" > 0
false

WTFOMGBBQ?!!!!

The implicit type conversion mess is all over the place in JS. Changing == to === is by far not sufficient.

"<==", "==>", "truecmp" would be required to correct a tad the mess still. More correct solution would be to burn JS to the ashes at my opinion, with emacs, modern hardware, devops and startups
I'm Australian, but it seems the Brits taught us convicts some additional etiquette :)

I should have put a note in there about cultures in my original post as I suspected as much about there being differences. I suspect in non-Western cultures too that this behaviour isn't a thing as well.
1. You can `--ignore` specific domains in mitmproxy, and since the ignore pattern is a regex you should be able to construct something that says "ignore everything but those domains" (the ones you then want to block).

2. I think this should answer it: http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/stable/features/passthrough.htm...

3. No, you only see the hostname.
Exactly: "spare" is the imperative ("save!"), "sparen" the base form ("to save").

As I mentioned in my original post, it is somewhat insincere since the expectation is generally that everyone present will let you eat the last porkchop.

With that said, general politeness would mean that if someone did ask for it then you would let them have it, but it happens very rarely in my experience.

A savings account without a fixed term requires that the bank balances that with reasonably short instruments. If it's a huge sum they will get nervous since they need a certain amount of liquidity as reserves and that's expensive. Keeping liquidity over the night gives very little interest, or even negative interest in some countries.

I regularly see a lot of different views and values, both online and in the streets. I agree the most common is what I think of as "moneyed Democrat", meaning pro-status-quo left, what in other countries would be either center-left or center-right. But I hear a lot from socialists, communists, anarchists, libertarians, and what I think of as fundamentalist capitalists. And I know plenty of people who are, like myself, socially liberal, fiscally conservative independents that in another era probably would have been Rockefeller Republicans.

The only thing I really don't see much of here is modern Republicans. Which I get, in that a lot of the modern Republican talking points are anti-tolerance (e.g., anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-nonwhite-immigrant), anti-science (e.g., evolution, climate change), pro-corporate, and/or pro-authoritarian. And given the way the CA Republican Party self-destructed over the last few decades, the lack just seems unsurprising.

I lucked out having the Soviet Union collapse and flood the market with physicists when I was looking.

No wait. Thats sort of the opposite of luck.

[edit] School was unaffordable for me at any of the 10 places that accepted me and offered me scholarships. I still had to come up with money I didn't have, and couldn't get. I suppose that is luck too? No, I had to work off campus in undergrad as well to pay for food/board/etc in addition to school.

I turned a crappy situation for myself and my family into a positive outcome, only by giving up my chosen career path, and pursuing industry, in a field outside of my studies.

Really lucked out there. No ... I guess I didn't.

Seriously, hard work, being smart enough to recognize what was going on around me, remaining calm during an incredibly stressful multi-year situation, and managing the processes through to a successful outcome. That is not privilege, and anyone making the claim that somehow being able to make lemonade out of the lemons that your "privileged" life dealt you ... yeah. About that.

You play the hand you are dealt. You play it hard. You play it smart. You know the house always wins. You know you really shouldn't swing for the fences. Insert any other cliche you want here.

But you accept that the hand you are dealt is what you have to deal with. You do not feel sorry for yourself for being born into poverty or money. You simply bust your butt. And play that hand hard. You have no choice.

Yeah, the thing about "really complicated with tons of long-forgotten special cases and obscure settings" is that people were using those settings, and those special cases were fixing bugs and allowing odd uses. Your rewrite is simple and elegant... until you fix all the bugs and make it feature-complete, by which point you will accumulate your own pile of ugly hacks. Then the next generation comes along and says, "Why all the hacks? We should rewrite this. We will surely not have such odd-looking code!" Rinse, repeat.
No, not at all. Being tolerant of political views means accepting political views from a broad spectrum. This is being co-opted by some to reframe tolerance as being actively intolerant towards disliked views. The latter is intolerance attempting to disguise itself as tolerance.

There is no tolerance paradox. For example, people's ability to advocate for the repeal of the 1st Amendment is protected by the 1st Amendment. Allowing people to advocate for the removal of the 1st Amendment, despite being a massively unpopular position (I hope), is an act of tolerance. What is not correct is attempting to claim that it is an act of tolerance to harass or shut down those people advocating for the Amendment's repeal because people believe it would lead to a worse society.
