Puerto Rico is, like American Samoa, an unincorporated territory. Well, the government doesn't consider it incorporated, although some legal scholars suggest that Congress did end up incorporating it at some point via accumulation of various acts (the argument has not, to my knowledge, been tried in court).
Git is not for deployment. Also, hardcoding blog posts in the repo is a dumb solution, and not necessary for a static site. The user built markup should be separate from the code that generates static pages from it.
The rest of the world does.
The full quote is:

> The word "triggered" should really be reserved for military vets AND those who have experienced traumatic events in their past that would cause severe distress

(emphasis mine)

You can't just cut a sentence in half and then try to form an argument against it. That's not fair.
Congress might still "subject AS to scrutiny" and pass laws to bring AS in line with States' obligations.
Opportunities and obstacles for deep learning in biology and medicine
I'd blame Bauhaus (the movement, not the band) for the lack of fancy features on modern-era buildings before I'd blame the bricklayers -- they just do what they're paid to do and modern architecture doesn't call for that level of detail in the brickwork.
We don't yet even know if Autopilot was engaged.
It called facing reality and realizing that certain phases in a company's growth require having someone with real world experience at the helm.

It's the reason why John Doerr brought in Eric Schmidt as Google's CEO for adult supervision. Good investors, in addition to bringing cash, also bring with them accumulated experience from previous rodeos, which means they'll be able to recommend a few qualified hires for the up hill battle ahead, if it is clear the founder is lacking in requisite experience.
On the other hand the bar for still images is very low due JPEGs dominance. That's why it makes sense to use video encoders for stills even if they are not ideal, you are still going to get much better results than JPEG.
We did have a governor appointed by the President. I believe it was considered a territory of the United States. We were part of a federal court circuit. I don’t think it was a lease. My understanding is that the Bunau-Varilla treaty gave the U.S. rights over the land in perpetuity but that this was not a lease. It was a weird entity though as all the land was owned by the Panama Canal Company or the military.
> Family law? If you're advocating that human perspective for the opposing party, are you failing your duty to your client?

They shouldn't be advocating the opposing party's human perspective in court, but they certainly should be doing it privately to the client. Things will usually work out better for them if they can reach an amicable compromise out of court rather than having to engage in protracted legal battles with their own family.

> Prosecutors? Not sure they have that discretion.

Prosecutors absolutely have that discretion. They don't have to take every case to court and they don't have to seek the harshest allowable punishment for every case they do take to court. They are supposed to be serving the public interest, not seeking to imprison as many people as possible.
I posted that (I'm vgf). My account was rate-limited and the post was very clearly artificially pushed to the second page, then the third. Just minutes before that it had started to climb up the front page relatively quickly.
Why would a single big download fill the buffers? Router → LAN is typically an order of magnitude more bandwidth than internet → router, so shouldn't the buffer be emptied faster than filled?
I love the new logo!!! I read most of the free articles whenever they come out, and like some of the insights that Ben has pointed out (the one about Apple's organizational crossroads is a personal favorite). It happens to be one of the few sites that makes a very good amount of money from subscriptions alone (I do not subscribe because it's way too expensive for me and my currency).

This is not the general case. This is not about some arbitrary private organization, but rather one of the two major party organizations that select candidates for the general election.

To review, the U.S. election system for presidents is single-winner, which game-theoretically pushes the general election toward a two-candidate race. Those two dominant candidates are selected by "private" political organizations called the DNC and RNC.

Was it legal for them to do what they did? I guess so, but I'm not a lawyer much less an election law lawyer. Does a system in which the DNC can secretly (until it gets leaked) show favoritism still represent democracy of any kind? I don't think so. It's cronyism or oligarchy or something more akin to that than to representative democracy.

So in the Democratic primary we had the DNC (legally, presumably) influencing primary voters to favor Hillary. In the general election, we had Russia, to some extent, influencing voters to favor Trump (or at least hate Hillary enough to stay home). Everyone goes through the roof that a small group of people from another country would influence the general election, but little to no concern domestically that a tiny group of people were influencing the Dem presidential primary results.

If you would prefer the term "influence" instead of "rig" in reference to what the DNC did for Hillary vs Bernie, I understand that. But none less than the NYTimes declared (via an editorial by Krugman) that Russia "rigged" the 2016 election when what they really mean is that Russia appeared to have influenced voters, which is the same as what the DNC did to Democratic Party primary voters.

If the RNC secretly did the same thing, I'd be complaining about them too, but there's a lack of evidence that they did, and even if they tried, it wasn't successful. As you pointed out, there were some public efforts to bias (against Trump), but they were too incompetent to be successful.

The RNC and DNC are organizations intended to help their parties' voters pick among several primary candidates. If the organizations' leadership is not neutral (or doesn't try hard to be neutral) but pretends to be, primary voters risk being seriously misled. As I said before, the whole notion that such a system has anything to do with democracy is a sham. So this past election was a sham candidate vs an awful candidate who was at least honestly selected by general party sentiment.
Move fast and break things may not be suitable for all development projects after all.
The article's conclusion:

Not only does social media know enough about us to build powerful psychological models of both individuals and groups, it is also increasingly in control of our information diet. It has access to a set of extremely effective psychological exploits to manipulate what we believe, how we feel, and what we do.

A sufficiently advanced AI algorithm with access to both perception of our mental state, and action over our mental state, in a continuous loop, can be used to effectively hijack our beliefs and behavior.

Using AI as our interface to information isn’t the problem per se. Such AI interfaces, if well-designed, have the potential to be tremendously beneficial and empowering for all of us. The key factor: the user should stay fully in control of the algorithm’s objectives, using it as a tool to pursue their own goals (in the same way that you would use a search engine).

As technologists, we have a responsibility to push back against products that take away control, and dedicate our efforts to building information interfaces that place the user in charge. Don’t use AI as a tool to manipulate your users; instead, give AI to your users as a tool to gain greater agency over their circumstances.

It just works.

99% of the time for 99% of the people who want it to do something (something realistic), it does it. In order to get people to switch to something like a static site backend it has to be much better than wordpress. It can't be as good, or a little bit better it's got to be waaaay better or it's not worth the time and effort to switch away from something you're familiar with.
Ehh I'm not so sure. There are different levels of abstractions involved in a 10 person company vs a 1000 person company.

At the 5000 employee level, you are probably dealing with a ton of abstractions that were filtered multiple levels up.
Free speech is a pressure release valve for society. Otherwise, people just keep quiet until they explode, many times in a mob because they feel no one is listening or they're being suppressed, or ignored by media, politicians, etc. For example, it is far better someone goes and complains about immigrants online and vent frustrations, even if half of what they say is racist or unjustified, because they at least are venting frustration non-violently and maybe, just maybe some of their concerns or points or personal experiences are legitimate and need to be addressed even if it's not with the solution they're suggesting. If nothing else, you know that person exists, and they're on your radar if they start expressing violent intentions.

Also, the answer isn't to suppress speech so it goes and hides under the surface, it doesn't go away and the people exposed to it never hear the counter points. The communities you talk about, like reddit, hate speech gets downvoted, it gets counter argued. Bring dumb hateful ignorant views into the light, so they can be addressed, if not for the purpose of convincing the OP (which is often futile), convincing anyone who might be on the fence or sympathetic at least partially to some of their points can understand why its wrong. The problem is when boards or sub-reddits become insular so never face opposing views, on either side, going back into bubbles or group think does not lead to moderate opinions and compromises, just like proving someone wrong can sometimes just cause them to double down on their opinion.
Strava is easily my favourite social network (if one could even call it that). It's non-addicting and the more I use it, the better I feel and more productive I am. I've never ever seen an argument on it either. Its positive flow-on effects are superb.

The heat map "revelations" earlier this year was slightly fascinating but made me wonder how many of those writing or commenting about it have actually ever used Strava.

Disclosure: I don't "race" using Strava and use "common sense" to avoid taking risks, etc - the riskiest thing to health for most people these days are sedentary activities.
Analysing 1.4B rows with Python
Unintentionally hilarious that the Docker blog of all companies should have received the ol’ reddit hug of death...
I mean the Declaration of Independence was pretty clearly a strong statement against the whole concept of "unincorporated territories", but what's obligatory on the goose isn't always accepted by the gander.
Well, the Pope does.
I'm always perplexed by these contrived scenarios used to demonstrate some point or other.

Work with the door closed some of the time, when you need to slog through a task uninterrupted, then open the door to allow the serendipity of uncontrolled interruption.
Maybe they genuinely thought the journey had been incredible and wanted to express their gratitude to shykes, who after all, built the company they work for?

It isn't a bad or forbidden phrase in and of itself, it just usually sounds rather hollow when users are getting screwed by a service shutting down. But Docker isn't shutting down.

Also, consider when railing against cliched thinking that the 'Our Incredible Journey' Tumblr is by now a massive HN cliche. It no longer sounds insightful or smart.
Twitter: I follow mostly programming related accounts.

Instagram: Follow church related stuff

Facebook: All my close friends and family, and some groups

LinkedIn: Don't really accept connect requests from people i don't know, so just really professional connections.

Reddit: I follow some bike subreddits, and some tech, try to avoid r/all

HN: For the news
I think that also points out the value of engaged investors and board. I don't know the details but I am under the impression they really facilitated that process -- recommended the idea, found candidates including Eric Schmidt, did the whole thing without disempowering Larry & Sergei, etc.
