You've just terminated my employment, removing my ability to pay for food and shelter for myself and my family. There is no way you can tell me that any such agreement waiving rights for severance was not done under duress.
It breaks down when near monopoly is established, which is often the goal of these government subsidization programs.

Whether that is acceptable depends on your opinion on global interdependence and national security. If the USA is dependent on Chinese and Russian steel to survive, it’s that much harder to defend against provocation. See EU and Russian gas for a great example.

That's entirely possible though I would say the profile on my work machine is only a couple months old. Is it possible that Firefox sync brought in settings from another machine that's possibly borking it?
Indeed, emotion is part of decision making and is often the cause of the wrong decision to be made.

It is not logical to allow a child to starve to death. Using an argument that a law is immoral is more about emotion than logic.
All aforementioned large companies have a diverse tech stack rather than a single stack, let alone programming language versions. Having Python BDFL working for them doesn't necessarily mean they will follow Python community consensus. Neither was Guido tasked to help them upgrade their python stack to 3.x AFAIK.

Python core team will eventually cease support 2.x support at some point[1], so the ones who uses 2.x will be on their own. Will the cost of self-patching python 2.x lower than rewrite the software application you developed on 2.x? Well, that's on them to decide. After 2.x being officially deprecated, what's the point of having a Async HTTP/2 client working (mostly back-porting features that's already on 3k) on 2.x?

> The NRA and the gun culture will never budge on these two items, so they make an outright ban inevitable.
> ...
> NRA supporters are gun nuts. I am a gun owner.

Well I don't want to give an inch more to gun control proponents because they have already made their intent clear, they believe that a completely gunless society is much more admirable than what we have today.

It's like this, imagine if a British politician Nigel Windsor calls for the 'assassination of the Queen' and overthrowing of Monarchy. Upon failing to achieve support on that, he proposes bill such as "Full budgetary accountability of Queen's security" or "Transparency of Queen's Expenditures" where Queen's security details be made published or "How about we reduce the number of Queen's guards by just one".

Who in their right mind would believe that Nigel Farage wants "sensible expenditure on Queen's security" since we know that at the end he wants to overthrow the British Monarchy?

This is the same case with gun control. We know that most gun grabbers don't own guns, have never owned guns and will never own guns, it's not in their culture. They also fantasize European countries regarding Healthcare, gun control, hate speech, discrimination laws and Australian style complete gun confiscation. Now they say "Come to a reasonable gun reform or a complete ban is inevitable", which to gun right proponents sounds like "Publish Queen's security detail or else an assassination of the Queen is imminent", I'd say if they could ban guns, then they would have.
They really couldn't. If I remember correctly, US law requires that a dealer provide replacement parts for publicly sold vehicles for 10 years. If you have a small run of cars with very custom parts like the EV-1, the cost of maintaining that capacity is likely prohibitive, so you kill them.
It also seems to be the avatar for the account that leaves the automated comments on the pull requests. I suspect it can cause a subliminal "this is a jerk" response in the author of the pull request who you'd probably prefer to feel receptive to this feedback.

I'd be shocked, shocked to hear of any companies that didn't take data against Facebook's tos. I did a few Facebook integrations back in those days and none of my employers have one fuck about us violating tos. This wasn't exclusive to Facebook integrations either.
> Where do you live because I never see this. That is just asking to get hit by a car.

Probably California. Pedestrians here think man-made laws can override the laws of physics.

> Our eyes can see details in the light and dark at the same time better than cameras can.

Yes, I agree. But that doesn't mean that a human eye would necessarily have seen the pedestrian in this situation in time to react. (Based on other posts elsewhere in this thread, I don't think a human driver would have been able to see the pedestrian in time without high beam headlights on.)
>Congress should revisit the law, he says, and "make the statute longer and make it crystal clear."

How can you write both sentences with a straight face? "I think the law should be more transparent but I won't tell you what it will mean"
I am suspicious of the neonics, but I am also suspicious of the many other insecticides that are used indiscriminately, and possible in excess dosages.

It is fairly obvious that excess insect kill is harming birds, but is it insecticides or a plague of spiders?

The limitations of fund structuring aren’t my concern. I’ve been investing for decades and it’s trivial to beat the market if you’re patient and knowledgeable about tech.

The fact that funds do worse than indexed etfs says more about fund incentives and investor savviness than it does about the effectiveness of this strategy.

I suspect the grandparent knew this, and was making the point that the reference isn't sending a good message.
It's not just a shield for Facebook and Google it's a shield for every website and app out there,and it's the greatest facilitator of free speech online.

Not only did the headline conveniently omit that fact but the whole pieces was edited to make it seem like only zealots and anarchists have any interest in preserving section 230.

Senator Wyden who voted against SESTA was trying to convey that this change is unwise and short sighted and will actually hurt the efforts to combat human trafficking yet only his criticism of tech firms survived the edit.

It's a great irony that the press keeps calling for limits on speech online perhaps hoping that when everyone else is silenced theirs will be the only voice heard.
You don't believe a party which is steeped in class division and owns a company that seeds false news are not nice people?

A business expense is eventually someone else's profit. In the terminal sense some one will take it out as personal income, and it will be taxed at a higher rate.

Then there are things like sales tax, tariffs, VAT, tangible property taxes which all are accounted for. So every bit if businesses revenue is taxed somehow.
I understand he does, but our definitions are different. Firstly, they are not a buy-and-hold sort of fund. Their strategy is more momentum based, and in my experience, to be good at that you need a deep understanding of HFT in current market conditions. I'm not saying they're market makers, but I will say that they employ some sub-minute strategies - to me, that is high frequency (not super high frequency, but high frequency nonetheless).

Also, they seem to hire a fair few ex-HF guys in senior positions (e.g. https://nypost.com/2015/07/31/aqrs-head-of-trading-on-paid-l...)
> [...] "Lacks Advertisement" is not the main point. It's one of the points. Ability to play music in the background is one big advantage.

This is precisely why I don't use YT app on Android. Firefox allowed this by default, now you just need an addon to re-enable the "big feature".
This website redirects away from the article after a short while if you run an ad blocker. I won't turn mine off, for reasons that ironically have to do with a distrust of third party tracking networks.

Yeesh, I don't think you want to cite Silk Road as precedent. That investigation and prosecution is a black mark on the Law. The fact that multiple federal investigators also went to prison ought to be a clue for the ignorant, but there is far more wrong with Ulbricht's life sentence than just that...
My spouse gave up an entire severance package because of the ludicrous terms outlined in the agreement. She could have been sued for any comments she made about her employer in perpetuity if she took her severance, which was neither generous nor fair. Our lawyer advised us to walk away and didn't charge us for his time to look at it either.
It is almost, but not quite, entirely about horizontal velocity. You also need sufficient altitude to be outside the atmosphere, as orbits with altitudes of under 100km are very short lived.

Additionally, it's generally not great to try to spend a lot of time accelerating through the atmosphere. For this reason rockets tend to fly upwards and then once they are out of the bulk of the atmosphere they fly mostly sideways.

that's basically what any analyst or researcher does, right. then, I guess an analyst writes a simulation to test his theories & a report. these hot shots likely just have other people their theories, indeed, but still likely write some amount of reports
Don’t be a cynic painting everyone with the same brush.

Specifically, President Obama signed an executive order making arbitration clauses in employment cases unenforceable: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudenc...

The next president then reversed this. There are extremely clear distinctions between the parties, and this issue is actually a perfect example.
1. Identify a skill that you have, and other people want. The more succinctly you can describe it, the better. Programmer == bad. C# developer == better.

2. Identify where people who need that skill spend time (meetups, clubs, slack groups, podcasts, discussion websites, mailing lists, etc).

3. Spend time at these places, delivering value, and pitching your wares. If you can get on stage to present, even better. A strong effort in a few places will usually beat a weak effort in many places.

4. Tell people you know that you are looking for gigs in your specific niche area.

5. Find agencies, others who do this work and let them know you're available if they get too much work, or get clients that aren't a great fit.

6. Most importantly, never be anonymous. This post is an example of a missed opportunity. Who knows, someone might have needed exactly what you're able to offer.

> So... you want a media filled with negative results?

No, I want people who call themselves investigative journalists to actually investigate. That means following things up instead of dropping them just because they don't think (or their editor doesn't think) it will lead to a headline that's click-baity enough.

> She just had a hunch that things were wrong.

Which she did nothing at all to follow up. But that's exactly the sort of thing investigative journalists are supposed to follow up. That's their job.
You can get i3s surprisingly cheap. Problem is they're older and have pretty poor range. But if that doesn't matter to you, way cheaper than many new low-end cars.

Will Cutting Calories Make You Live Longer?
Heh. I wanted to store my old university coursework somewhere, and GitHub seemed as good a place as any. Because I'm cheap and don't want to pay for a private repo, there it sits in all its public glory. Few years back I got an irate email from a professor that students were copying a program I wrote for a SPARC assembly course which has remained unchanged for, like, two decades. So, to some degree the whole plagiarism thing is due to professorial laziness.
FWIW, if you created the connection between GitLab and GitHub for your project before 10.6, you'll have to remove the connection and then re-add it to get the push-based mirroring to happen. Otherwise, yes, it will still poll.
Programmer morale is another factor in good/bad technical debt.
It can be quite enjoyable to take something like three separate implementations of a similar function, combine them, and delete a bunch of duplicate code.

On the other hand, it is nightmarish to toil through some tightly coupled mess and try to rewrite it in a manner that is more maintainable.

One makes you feel happy and in control, the other makes you feel like everything is falling apart.
Senate Overwhelmingly Approves Sex Trafficking Bill to Amend Section 230
I see your point, and I don't necessarily disagree, but for whatever facilitate does actually mean, you'd still have to be a knowing participant in the matter.

In this context, I can only speculate the language was added wrt the editing of specific ads. They weren't assisting in their publication, they weren't supporting their publication, but they did know what they were and made changes to...facilitate...those ads staying published and under the radar of authorities.

But I do see your point, and agree that it will likely be used for some unforeseen interpretation.
What I find fascinating about this problem is students paying all that money in order to deliberately avoid learning anything.
Yeah the only real way to avoid this charge is to never possess a computing device.

> I can see China running with ARM and POWER, ditching Intel entirely.

China has Zhaoxin, which develops domestic x86-compatible cores that have received massive state funding, despite little commercial success. They way it looks, I think that China has decided to stick with x86, with Zhaoxin as an "escape valve" for the case where chip supply from Intel and AMD gets threatened.
Well, yes, Christianity had been on the decline in NW (and N) Europe for a long time. What's new is "as default is gone."

I'm from the US. My experience with pilgrimages is in the US context. I lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where the local big pilgrimage is to El Santuario de Chimayo. Not a big ticket pilgrimage. Because of this discussion, I remembered that there's also the pilgrimage to San Juan Capistrano, https://www.rcbo.org/year-of-mercy/pilgrimage-oc-sites/ .

You say now that you are not talking about "places other than NW-Europe". Thing is, you brought up "20 centuries of Christianity", and since it took a few hundred years until Christianity reached NW Europe, I think it's fair to believe you were talking about all of Christendom.

I understand that you are talking about the practice. My point was that you see importance in the connection to 2,000 years of religious faith, but that faith has not been constant over the years. I'll quote again what I quoted earlier:

> In the late Middle Ages the congregation sat down on the job and there was a drastic change in Christian worship—perhaps the most important in history. People, in effect, became custodians of individual spaces which they occupied throughout the service, and social distinctions made some spaces more privileged than others.”

NW Europe is mostly Protestant, and it's only been 500 years since Luther. Sure, it's connected to the older Catholic faith, but that's then connected to the Jewish faith, and that is connected to the Canaanite and Babylonian religions.

Your last paragraph is absolutely true. Look at the modern druids or the Asatru, who lack the continuity with the ancient Celtic and Norse religions, or the Slavic Native Faith. I wonder why we don't have that continuity, or even good records of what it was like then. Could it be that the Christians fought hard to expunge alternate (and ancient) religious practices, and didn't want to make and preserve those records over the centuries?

Or, perhaps you could you tell me about the preservation efforts that Christians did during most of those 2,000 years, for the cultures that it replaced?

By comparison, the current secular world seems much less likely to destroy traces of what came before. There will be books, movies, art, blogs, recorded sermons and more, by the bucket-full, for those trying to understand what a late 20th century NW-European Christian life was like.
Sorry, I should've put https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16650380 as a reply here.
Well DNS does not really split this because of the way TCP-connections are defined: The are the pair of IP and Ports of both sides. So TCP-connections are always between two locations not between two identities. That's the reason why connections get lost when changing from one network to another.

Also updating DNS entries is to slow to do it whenever you walk with your smartphone from one cell/wifi to another.
I was teaching the lab portion of CS 101 (don't remember the actual course number off-hand) when I discovered that two students had the same remarkable code that shouldn't have worked but did.

We were using C, and instead of using globals or parameters, each function declared the same local variables in the same order. The stack, then, remained sufficiently consistent that each function had access to the values it needed.

When I confronted the two of them about plagiarism (and explaining what they had done wrong) their defense was that they were working on the problem together, and thus had made the same mistake out of ignorance.

And frankly, it made perfect sense. I could easily see myself doing something like that.

I guess my point is that, for at least some small portion of the problem space, plagiarism isn't really plagiarism.
Really cool! I'm going to give it a try. I've been looking to build our Travis CI more in-depth.
And also not fully electric, so there are three times as many things that could break.
Yeah, I thought about this, but not calling it a data leak normalizes the activity. ~200k people installed an app that gave up ~50 million users' data. Those users may have consented to handing over their data in the ToS they agreed to, but it still feels icky. I'm perfectly fine calling it a data leak if it means more press coverage about bad data practices at modern Internet companies.
They want them to look distinctive, because many buyers want everyone else to know they have an electric car. It's the same design strategy Toyota used with the Prius.
Yep, especially since those companies really don't start with "we'll build a line that can assemble 100 cars a week and then work from there" like Tesla did - it's either a line that can assemble 10k cars/week, or nothing. And if the supply for whatever component isn't there yet to support that capacity, then it's not going to happen.
I'm not just talking about hard robotics.

For context, I've been a blazing sword through 100+ person offshore teams with projects that took a month to build. :/
Software is covered around copyright law, which is different than right to repair. I'm fine not owning the software my Tesla runs, nor having access to the source code, but I agree that legislation should require Tesla provide tooling that allows for diagnostics and canbus control for repairs (such as for issuing commands to the powertrain and ancillary systems).
That's not really the right way to phrase that. I'm pretty sure they didn't crush cars that someone else owned.

I wonder if they had offered them for sale at prices that would cover their parts obligations if that would have gone over well.
Don't know what you are using but Edge sucks for me. It constantly freezes. It''ll freeze starting up or freeze shutting down. And once that happens the process stays stuck and you can't even kill it so you can't even try again. You just have to restart.
The news title finally mentioned "brokers."Much have been talked about the ease of collecting and extracting data, I'm wondering when it comes to SELL data, how easy would that be and through what process a developer could find a broker? And at what price? Is there a way to find a list of these brokers?

Would it be difficult for facebook to be aware all data brokers in the market and also at what price point, under what agreement and and estimated transactions volume?
The article addresses this at a couple of points, do you know factors which would counter its argument, or are you just pointing to the same history the article pointed to?

e.g.:
"Power 9 should do better than its predecessors given its costs, bandwidth, and ease of porting. Power 9 is IBM’s first to use standard DIMMs, opening a door to other standard components that are, overall, cutting system costs by 20% to 50% compared to the Power 8, said IBM’s partners."
> "What is a job if not exchanging "slavery" for money?"

that's a very perverse perspective, and is exactly the sentiment a multi-national corporation like IBM would want you to have.

a job is an opportunity for two parties on equal footing to make a favorable exchange: my labor for your cash. it's a classic example of a capitalistic win-win. it's an opportunity for me to ply my trade, to further develop my expertise so that my offerings are more attractive to others and i can make more money. it's an opportunity for you to further your business objectives, widen your offerings, and widen your reach.

slavery is ownership. it's callous and flippant to make such a correlation to work for hire.
It’s easier to argue that YouTube, Twitter, etc. are public forums. So it seems to me that the argument would be even stronger.
This whole scandal is very weird to me. Everybody has known this about Facebook forever. Most people have gotten bit at one time or another with apps that spam their friends or do something else shady. And most people have learned to be wary of Facebook apps.

Not that we shouldn't be outraged. I'm glad we finally have outrage. We should have all been outraged a long time ago.
