> In other words people who don't know the difference between race - a biological phenomenon - and ethnicity - a social phenomenon.

No, people who recognize that despite the conceit that race is a “biological concept”, the identification of race (both ascription to others and self-identified) has always been driven by the same sociological phenomon that drive ethnic identity, and that, in practice, the concept of race operates as simply a broader set of ethnic categories, which is why identification of what races exist and how people are identified as being in one race or another vary not only between cultures, but within the same cultures over time.
Right. I mean, what happens if Russian forces get cornered, and use tactical nukes? That's how the Cuban Missile Crisis almost became WWIII. I've also read that the Soviets threatened to nuke Tel Aviv during the Six-Day War, if Israel bombed Cairo.

Before anyone claims they know wtf they are talking about, answer the following real technical questions -- I haven't seen a single one who has (including the so-called "Trail of Bits"):

1. Can Ryzenfall and Fallout be exploited without code signed by AMD?

2. Can Masterkey be exploited even after disabling the PSP in the BIOS which AMD has allowed since January?

C# is my favorite language as long as we're only talking about the language. It gets out of my way - I can write it without thinking consciously about the programming language. If the run-time didn't have garbage collection, it would be my ideal language. The GC never gets out of my way, ever.

The economic structure of the EU provides incentives to avoid conflict.

Worth noting that two NATO members (Greece and Turkey) have had deaths from a not-quite shoot out http://edition.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/05/23/greece.crash/. Interesting also that Turkey isn't an EU member, and counties like Germany and France have had as least as much a history of conflict as Greece/Turkey have.

I’m probably not the average Robinhood user, but I was already putting about $50k/year into index funds for retirement.

So rather than putting even more in these I wanted to research and invest directly in a handful of stocks long term. I used to use Scottrade for this. That’s not too bad $7/trade ($14/round-trip).

If I’m making a sizable enough investment that won’t matter too much. But what if I only had $24 this week? I could buy one share of Ford on Scott-trade, but then I’m upside down until the price doubles (e.g. forever upside down).

With Robinhood I can make buys no matter how small the purchase.

All my evidence is anecdotal, and I have no means of confirming it on my own.

When I first looked over this post, there were 3-4 comments, all seemingly pro-russia. I see some points being made that are remarkably similar to official Russian positions on issues. Its really similar to when I see a post about China. A whole bunch of users surface abruptly with lots of comments favorable to China. Both of these countries have large, well documented operations to comment extensively on Western media sources. And I'm sure that many HN users like Russia and like China. But it's hard to shake the feeling that there is some astroturfing going on.
I know Stratum is 'layer' in Latin.
How about this: when you get into the booth you're given an ID. You then cast your vote for Ms A and you can see on the block chain that it was recorded for A. After you cast, the system shows you a bunch of ids on the chain which voted for other candidates and you can memorise the id shown that voted for Mr B. When people come round, you tell them that other id. When they look it up they see that it voted for B and leave you alone.

That doesn't solve the potential problem of vote stuffing... Still thinking about that one.

Personally, I'm saying Bitcoin is tulip bulbs (or, in Sarah Jeong's excellent phrase, "math Beanie Babies").

The blockchain, on the other hand, I think is more like XML/XSLT: a really interesting technology that has almost no real-world use that couldn't be done more easily with some other technology. And that 15-20 years after its popularity will be similarly obscure.

I've been looking for years, but, digital speculative pseudo-commodities aside, I still have not found an in-production, value-delivering use of blockchain technology that couldn't be done as well or better with some more well understood technology.

Background: I take art class of kids in Delhi, India. Now vacation time is coming and I want to teach them Generative art via Code. What kind of setup, hardware should I buy or build? I don't want them to learn code at first, but to play with code or abstracted version of code.
They have a good reputation, because they sponsor a whole bunch of open-source projects, which people like to see. I'm not aware of a good reputation for things that actually indicate how they run their service.

Things that have irked me so far about their service:

- That their applications were not open-source so far. Why even sponsor open-source, when clearly you don't care for it too much yourself.

- Google Analytics on their webpage. Literally a service supposed to protect your IP address and the first thing they do when you dare to even look at their service, is tell the biggest data broker on the planet about it. (This is a problem with most VPN providers.)

- The company behind it, London Trust Media Inc., operates from the USA, putting it into one of the least privacy-friendly and least predictable jurisdictions on the planet.

- Their privacy policy isn't bad, aside from the aforementioned Google Analytics and that they use your e-mail address for promotional mails, but it's not good either. If you're so great on privacy anyways, then use your privacy policy to legally bind yourself to your standards and provide your customers with a service that has at least any kind of insurance of what it promises.
The issue is that Musk committed to the "LIDAR is unnecessary" path when he told users that the 6 figure cars he was selling had the necessary hardware to support L5 automation.

> can I really blame

Sure you can blame them and blame yourself. It doesn't have to be either or.

Depending if you think internet is a safe small town neighborhood or a hostile place full of bad actors constantly trying to gain entry into your systems. In the first case, nobody would say you're irresponsible because well it is unprecedented for burglary to happen there, in the second case the perpetrator would be guilty, but you'd be laughed at and ridiculed for being irresponsible as well.

If you happen to hold someone else info (cough Equifax cough) you might even be sued, though ... you probably also have friends in the government and tons of lawyers to not really be bothered by it.
Amazon, Alibaba, Mercado Libre, and Netflix are good examples of reasons not to avoid individual stocks.

More than 90% of my investments go into index funds and 10% into individual stocks, but if hindsight was 20/20 it would be 100% into my individual stocks and I’d be retired on my own private island today.
Definitely. And I think it's enough time for a lot of people to pass through the stages Douglas Adams described:

“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

It'll be very interesting to see where it goes. One of the discussions I've had with friends is the extent to which private ownership of cars goes from near-universal to niche. Reactions are all over the map, but my personal bet is that a lot of the kids who grow up with the idea of autonomous cars will never develop that very American attachment to personal car ownership.
Which version of RegEx? I've "learned" RegEx two or three times and then switched language/platform and had everything I previously learned no longer work reliably.

You might think I am just talking about Microsoft's quirky implementation but even in the Linux-sphere it isn't consistent see:

http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/tech/regexp.html

You take a complex format string which was design to use the fewest characters instead of with clarity in mind, you then have every major application and library diverge on basic support and spec for features, and then you have all of them hack on support for UNICODE in their own unique way.

Regular Expressions likely won't ever die, but I for one would happily switch to an alternative with better readability, UNICODE support from day zero, and fewer niche features to keep things uniform. I'm tired of re-learning RegEx only to have everything I've learned either be forgot or not work the second I app switch.

The OCS Amigas were amazing, way-ahead-of-their-era machines. I can't tell you how many times, in need of inspiration or just to be amazed for five minutes, I'd load up a demo from Sanity or Phenomena and just let it all sink in - the code, the graphics, the music, all in Assembly and all from pure imagination.

I'm being nostalgic - and super preferential to the things that I enjoy - but nascent and emerging technology for me seems to have always generated the most exciting art. The demoscene from the early days of the PC, the ANSI/artzine scene from the early days of BBSes and telecommunication, the personal home pages from the early days of the web.

I'm going back and forth about whether or not I see the same art in today's emerging tech. I think I see where the tech is going and I'm excited by it, but I don't think I see the art as much. Happy to be convinced otherwise!

> Every sufficiently large collection of people in the history of the world has had taxation.

That's not really an argument in favor of taxes, many things have existed for a long time. And many wars were fought purely or most importantly on taxes: most of the american revolutions of independence were largely about taxes or tax-like sanctions.

Taxation has always been a contentious topic.

> Reasonable people can and do question taxations levels but not on the necessity of having taxes. It is unreasonable to consider taxation theft.

There are many arguments and school of thought within libertarians and anarco-capitalists. I'm no expert, but the taxation is theft argument does have nuances.

Taxation IS theft, because it is involuntary, and unless you concede the tax man a privilege over yourself, he is stealing from you. To me this is a non-negotiable concept: you are one way or another being forced to give your labor under threat of liberty.

But the reality is there are ways in the which theft can be justified, the same way we tend to forgive a robber that eats for sustenance, theft can be justified to pay for the military that gives you freedom in exchange of their lives.

You can eliminate taxes 100% if you made contributions voluntary. This is utopic in today's world, maybe, but not in the next world, the one we get to design and work towards to.
Intel has been cleaning up as of late, going all the way back to the earliest Core processors with patches. That's some Microsoft level of support, probably because there are old enterprise deployments, and it speaks to how Intel is different from AMD in tenor.

Sure you can! Robbing is not something that happens by accident, and neither is hacking. I agree that the US should invest heavily in improving security, but taking the view that "pfff, who cares who did it!" is a terrible idea.
Every thing we programmers make is ethereal, impalpable, formless. Metaphor is a huge aid in managing that. Why deny yourself tools that help you organize and communicate about our code?

How much of the federal budget of any country do you think goes to roads.
At the moment, Go. I like the focus on features that make programmers happy, like `gofmt`. I love that most of the things I want to be able to do are already available as a library - it feels like Python in that regard. I really love how easy it is to cross compile for different platforms. I think they still have some issues with dependency management, but `dep` has made my life much better already.

I love Rust as well, though I love it more as a concept than as an actual useful language. If only it weren't so freaking hard to get anything done in that language!
First, can you back up the claims in this comment? Also, Russia has had very few actual elections, especially when you include the Cold War era. Finally, there is no moral equivalency between totalitarian dictatorships which murder tens of millions and oppress nations from Germany to the Pacific (and elsewhere), and free democracies, with all their flaws.

The false equivalencies appear on every issue that casts the Chinese or Russian governments in a bad light. Speaking of the Cold War, IIRC my history, the KGB liked to use them in their propaganda.
While not exactly the same I was in a similar position around a year or so ago. (Networking Space). I also loved the fact that I was exposed to both sides of the business but felt an urge to advance more rapidly technically. The right answer for me was to slowly move out sales into more technical roles i.e. SE > Support > Ops. The way I figure it, I can flex my non-technical skills later in my career. However in the immediate, grind on my technical acumen.

Obviously only you can make the right decision based off what you think is best. Just don't be gun shy to do so.

I have been meaning to try datomic for a while but love every minute of my current job doing Clojure. My company has been converting everything to it at every reasonable time, from web servers to massive ETL jobs to our Clojurescript React Native mobile apps. We've always been very happy with the conciseness of the code, the clarity gained from immutability and pure functions, the performance switching off Rails to the JVM and far easier parallel programming tools, and the ability to utilize the vast Java/JavaScript ecosystem if someone hasn't written something in Clojure itself. No ecosystem is perfect, but it has been the most charming environment I've worked with ever. Cursive rocks too!
The Scopes Programming Infrastructure
Only if the diffuser is in the optical chain and not the surface target at the focal plane of a projection.

Whenever we crumple our eyes up to squint we're creating a diffraction grating that works a treat for the myopic amnesiac I am when without my spectacles.

The ground glass of the focusing screen in my Nikon is diffuse. This particular diffusion assists with guaging the lens focus, bit only for smaller apertures than f/2.0, so that expensive 85mm f/1.4 prime lenses need autofocus. Dunno how I managed for two decades professionally before the digital switch rendered great optics practically redundant*

So what's preventing the projection of the high resolution display information into a kind of focusing screen like the old fashioned Single Lens Reflex cameras won the market with in the fifties and sixties?

Is it more physical constraints of the imposition of the display into the field of vision for infinity focus?

If long ago my amateur interest would have carried my thinking further, sadly I have no applicable reading even on the subjects, so forgive me if this is a beginner supposition in error.

I certainly see the opportunity to directly encourage the hardware development, even if the equipment will be unwieldy to use, even more so than today, for specialist fields such as fabric design and magazine printing. I have been involved in the latter for the entirety of my career, two decades of that running the company I hoped would open up enormous markets and that field even defenestrated Google in 2004, leading to the most epic narrative and pivot story if I manage to get things kicking again. * Surely there is a very good overlap between the current generation of customers for whom the budget simply isn't the obstacle, and the same customers who will allocate whatever you want to charge in the future, if you can deliver real advantages? I'm optimistic about VR, but not in any kind of short term horizon. I founded my own business on a thirty year plan.. that still could be met, and made decades one and two, kinda just the latter. Maybe this is what we all need: real long term benefit analysis and commitment. This isn't a factor of the youthfulness of the Valley to which short termism is often ascribed,when flighty CEOs are discounted, I was very young and junior by a generation and some to my co-founder, when I realized how I had found my calling. Surely the VR sector has plenty of similar thinkers young enough to put such time to their dreams?

*I kinda continue a bit in my profile, where I may be more bold soon. I welcome any feedback or inquiry, I may be less than the epitome of clarity when I come close to professional engagement with ideas I can't believe.. the industry hasn't destroyed my hopes because of politics not technology, not yet anyhow..
Thanks, Stratum only works on non-admin sections (the front-end). Currently, you have to add compatibility to some features yourself. I've not dug deep on Gutenberg but I do keep an eye on its development.
Maybe you could do a block tallying with verification scheme.

1. Enter your vote and receive an identifier

2. Group n identifiers into a batch ensuring not all votes in the batch are for the same candidate. Record the n identifiers into a block then randomly order the identifiers but don’t record the randomized sort order. Display the index of their identifier to each user but don’t record it. Record the actual vote in this (random) order to the block. Allow each voter to see all votes recorded in the block at each location (including the one only they know represents their vote). Allow the voter to manually tally the block to ensure the sum of symbols reflects their vote intent. Present to each voter cryptographic proof of the existence of the block and the net affect the block as a whole has on the vote tally for each candidate.

Each voter leaves with:

1. cryptographic proof of having voted

2. Cryptographic verification of the effect their vote had on vote tally

3. Ability to claim having voted for any candidate represented in their voting block/inability to prove to others who they voted for while being sure of how their vote was counted themselves.
