> It's not whataboutism. It's calling out hypocrisy

So, it's exactly Whataboutism: “Whataboutism (also known as whataboutery) is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument, [...]”

I'm 1.93 and my knees make trouble. can you give me a diagnosis? :D

I'm reading a book at the moment, in german, "Ich liebe einen Asperger" and even proper autism was barely recognized by people working with kids 15yrs ago: "... but it couldn't be Autism!?" is one quote from an educator about the family's most autistic child. Things probably haven't changed that much.

One other thing, even though it is exhausting, kids on the spectrum try to mimic others, act normal etc just to get a good feedback. In the book it took months until the psychologist got through the kid's defenses and was certain about the diagnosis.
It's sad really, so much frustration the family describe that could have been prevented.
Most young people do need to be more thoughtful about their money, though. And the economy as a whole is, by multiple different metrics, the best it’s ever been. It’s just that this greatness needs to be spread a bit wider. In the capitalist system with a labor market as tight as we’ve ever seen it this is addressed by getting another job for more money. Now is a good time to do it. You are responsible for your own success.
It’s certainly nowhere near as full featured. But in our case it is entirely appropriate. Over time we simplified our use of MongoDB to the stage where it’s effectively a k/v store. Swapping that simple pattern over to DynamoDB was easy, saves us a ton of money, and means we get to shed a ton of operational responsibility.

Also, you are incorrect about only being able to index two fields in DynamoDB. Though we luckily don’t need anything other than the primary key.
> People are up in arms that their data was misused, why do you care whether they're politically motivated or not?

Because the forthcoming regulations will inevitably target conservatives if we allow the public discourse on this issue to be dominated by "muh Russia, muh Trump."
Ah, I always forget to keep that page up to date. I'm sorry for that. Since CodeSandbox 2.5 we got some new things, like Parcel support, Typescript configuration support and some other things. I'll make sure to keep that page more up to date.

And if you really want to make sure, we're open source: https://github.com/CompuIves/codesandbox-client.
Sounds like this is still a ways out right?
Sure, but the thrust of this data release wasn't exactly "perhaps there was improper coordination of marketing funds between Brexit campaign groups".

Frankly, I'm just amazed at the amount of effort that continues to go into locating a smoking gun and a technical devious explanation for Trump/Brexit success beyond "a lot of people really are unhappy with the status quo".
No hover on mobile. ;)
It is just plain text encrypted files in a GIT repo, so no reason why multiple people couldn't use it, I don't think there would be the ability to have segregation of folders for different people without some tweaks though.
JVMs used in embedded space use such approaches, but then again, they also support AOT compilation to native code.
I have a hard time with using Java to write micro-services. Even though lots of packages, such as Undertow, support non blocking I/O, a lot of the rest of the stack and the programmers that use it don’t know how to do NIO. What happens then is that the SRE/Ops team needs to configure large thread pools which consume lots of RAM just because multiplexing is I/O so difficult.

In comparison I can just start goroutines and Elixir processes for fast and simple I/O parallelism almost without thinking about it.

Richard Wiseman, mentioned in the article, wrote that book.
I went to school in Pittsburgh, PA where they are building condos and bars on slag piles from 19th century blast furnaces. I don't think industry in cities is unique. For a few more examples: Philadelphia has an oil refinery practically downtown. Even without leaving the Bay Area Oakland and Richmond have heavy industry in close proximity to people's homes inside the cities.

Scrap pricing is $2.50/lb for copper, $3750.
Scrap pricing is $4.83/lb for nickel, $2415.

Total = $6165

Google has a strong position in the email space, but it isn't anywhere as dominant as it is with search and web advertising.
Speaking not for my employer (for obvious reasons) I think it's a huge strategic advantage for Ubisoft to be partnering with google, especially on cloud stuff.

I haven't deployed a full production game on google cloud yet, but of the cloud offerings; theirs seems to be the least "hand-wavy cloud magic"-marketing and more engineering focused, which I think Ubisoft is in dire need of.

Our internal IT organisation that hosts games is not quite competent enough to bring us into the 21st century of always-online titles, I mean, being always online means you kinda have to always be online otherwise you're locking people out of their purchase which is quite abhorrent.

The development teams in Ubi tend to be pretty good, but the IT org lets them down, whether via forcing people into sub-standard testing scenarios or by being rigidly frugal with necessary infrastructure, we're a long way from SRE/DevOPs hopefully this forces the hand of the powers that be on the IT side.

(Btw, I'm self-criticising, I'm part of the IT organisation I'm referring to.)
+1 for the Password Store app, I happen to use an Android tablet and an iPhone and the "Pass" app on iPhone works just as well too (and includes touchID).
John Oliver did a good job of highlighting your point when he interviewed Edward Snowden. People interviewed on the streets about cell phone data collection and it did not concern people at all, that is ... until they found out it could involve pictures of their bf/gf's private bits they sexted back and forth. People said that would make them mad.
There's a common culprit between contamination from Moffett Field, old semiconductor sites, and even old dry cleaning sites: chlorinated solvents, trichloroethylene in particular. TCE is non-corrosive, non-flammable, cheap, a great solvent for many non-water-soluble compounds, and it evaporates cleanly and rapidly. It also has a relatively low acute toxicity to humans. It was commercialized in the 1920s as a surgical anesthetic, and still sees some medical use:

http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/en/d/Jh2929e/4.5.html

I even found it sold by the can in a hardware store as recently as 2002.

Unfortunately, it's a carcinogen and can cause neurological problems with heavy or chronic exposure. It breaks down slowly in soil or water. (Though it breaks down rapidly once volatilized into the atmosphere - half life of one week.) It migrates easily through soil and into water. As of 2005, TCE was detected in 5% of American public water systems supplied by groundwater and in 15% supplied by surface water.

> Why would you want to pull a version that is newer than the author of the library you depend on has actually tested with?

1. To install a security update or bug fix update you need in a transitive dependency that the author of the dependency you're using hasn't updated to.

2. To use the same workflows across all my dependency management tools (npm, cargo, composer, bundler, and the rest of the lot follow the same patters and vgo goes against the patterns used by the others)

There are two reasons.
> No, what I've described is a textbook example of blatant hypocrisy.

Yes, the accusation you've launched is one of blatant hypocrisy; the use of such accusations against those raising an issue as distraction technique to draw attention away from the issue raised is exactly the definition of Whataboutism.
4G radio bands may differ - bottom table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_frequency_bands
HN is really fixated on the idea that the current political situation is somehow un-extraordinary. As has been pointed out, the hatred that Repbulicans had for all eight years of Obama cannot be overstated, yet nothing like what is happening now with apparent election interference by Russia was noted at all. Is there really that much of a massive left-wing conspiracy, that nobody questioned Obama's presidency beyond laughable "birther" claims yet is able to produce an enormous, Republican-led federal investigation into the current president based on nothing, yet despite this massive reach it somehow it allowed DT to be elected president in the first place? Here's a place where Occam's Razor might work. What is more likely - that DT is really a dishonest grifter who foolishly played into the hands of the Russian intelligence agents a bit too much, or that he is truly some kind of Ronald Reagan-esque figure and all 30-odd intelligence agencies pointing to Russia as an instigator are just making it up at the behest of DNC dark actors?
Do you think none of your data makes it to Google in any form if you aren't logged in? Like, say, use of maps and web browsing?

Association between the data and you is easy. As long as you've ever logged in to Google on a desktop (or any device for that matter), and another third party non-Google account on the same device, the moment you log into that third-party (non-Google) account on the phone, your identity could be tied to the data by Google if Google has a data sharing partnership that enables that with the third party. Even if you refrain from logging in to a Google account on the phone.
> Same way you move on from heavy OO to dicts/lists.

Is that a thing? No question that many concepts of OOP are in heavy need of reform, but I didn't know the basic idea of a struct was one of them.

I can sort of imagine this for quick-and-dirty things in untyped languages - but if you have types, passing dicts around everywhere seems like needlessly throwing away type safety - while it's also cumbersome to code and less efficient at runtime.
Nothing is new. When I was a NOOP programmer I knew the crusty old build engineer called Diane. She did not like my shell script and rewrote it with a terse comment "Exit early and often". The same idea as the article and this was in the late 1990s. It was a lot shorter and easier to understand.
Hmmm, it may also be a symptom of something similar we've seen intermittently here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1424397
> A nickel is 75% copper and 25% nickel.

Interesting, I thought nickle was the coin and nickel was the metal, but it seems that isn't the case and/or changed. (?)
But tons of folks working high-paying jobs don't manage to establish a lifestyle like the Frugalwoods. There's a reason phrases like "keeping up with the Joneses" exist. It's how you end up with "out-of-touch" articles about how a $250k annual income is barely middle-class in NYC or the Bay Area.

Can't we focus on the message instead of the messenger? Or stop assuming that the message is for Millennials alone?
Have you followed the news at all? This is not even up for debate.

The DNC was hacked and the emails released to hurt Hillary Clinton and to aid the Trump campaign. It is not yet known if the Trump campaign was involved, but it is a fact that the emails were released to aid his campaign. Here are some links:

People want what they can't have which I don't think will ever dissolve. Therefore, the idea that advertising has any bearing on this is flawed.

Keeping up with the joneses is less about having the same thing and more about having the joneses quality of life. They aren't the same if you look at them.

Having a fancy car for example is a status symbol, what is the status? The status is that this car has nicer features, butt warmers, more comfortable seating, better safety. Taking that status symbol a step further, I can deduce that if the joneses can afford that fancy car they also have other fancy things.

Most reduce this logic down to the following: The more individual items I have that the joneses have the closer I'll be to their quality of life.

I think this is a really interesting dynamic though because the more money I make I am not proportionally happier. In fact, my happiness stopped increasing with salary increases the moment I was able to afford bills and have leftover for savings. Since than my salary has grown many times over and I am still the same person I was fresh out of college getting by. My wife and I are still the same couple, we are no happier with the weather we have achieved over the years.
You're kidding, right? You don't think people would be upset when they cannot access Gmail, Google search results, or Google Maps? And a message in each service asking users to contact their representatives if they want access to the services again would be all that is required.
I’m a foreigner, ignore me at will, but personally I’d want to make a deal. You’re never going to eliminate all gun deaths, criminals will always find ways to get guns, so let’s set an achievable goal.

5 years to halve gun deaths in America, or all automatic and semi automatic weapons get banned. You can set whatever laws you like, it’s your problem, you fix it. If you think it’s a mental health issue, fine, you get whatever funding you need to address it.

That would still be 50% more gun deaths per capita than the European countries with the loosest gun controls and highest levels of gun ownership. It’s 2.5x Israel and is higher than Nicaragua.

Thank you! Yeah we moved to Kubernetes yesterday!

I learned most from the official Kubernetes tutorials (https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/). I also used mix_docker (https://github.com/Recruitee/mix_docker) as a reference on how to build the image. The advantage of Kubernetes is that you can have the same way to deploy for all servers, so if you learn how Kubernetes deploys you automatically know how to deploy Phoenix applications.
Android builds have renewed by love for Maven.

If it wasn't for Android, I wouldn't bother 1 second to learn Gradle.

But I guess Groovy needs some project to keep it alive, now that no one remebers the days JSF beans would be written in Groovy or JUGs were holding Grails talks month after month.

From my experience, it can definitely be learned. I went through a very deliberate process of approaching social interaction and communication skills as I would an interesting programming problem. I refined a mental model and tested it out (yes, with occasionally hilarious misfires). Thankfully none of the failures went beyond 'highly embarassing'.

It felt like most people have a social automatic pilot while I was flying entirely manually. Once I developed some models and internalised them it was as if I'd built my own approximation. It still takes a little effort to keep things level, but much less than it used to.
I think the -u flag might already be transitive? Haven't tried it, though.

> I think the web is monetizing video at an appropriate rate, considering most video itself is essentially worthless.

Um, I think you are confusing cause and effect.

Isn't worthless video exactly the problem that subsidizing video delivery caused?

If you have to pay even a penny to put your video on the web, most video disappears and suddenly the quality skyrockets.
> Google is intentionally disabling the device

What? They are blocking the device from using Googles services. The device will continue to work just fine. Which leads to

Yes, customer has the right to do whatever they want on their device, but that does not extend to (ab)use Googles service in whatever way they want.

It's not about sharpening your wits thorough osmosis, it's about seeing nonsense laid bare at your feet. Leveraging that to see through the pretense of "smarter" conversation to understand it's the exact same stuff: shit-flinging, misleading but plausible half-lies, active propaganda, underinformed dummies thinking they're having a deep conversation, etc...

The zen that parent poster describes comes when you recognize that your favorite political commentator, or the thing your best friend just said over coffee are not inherently smarter or dumber than 4chan.

edit: w/r/t "leaking outside.": The problem isn't that Trump was meme-ed into the whitehouse. The problem is that paternalistic control of messaging will never equip the populace to evaluate something as nonsense when the parents aren't around to stop the message from propagating.
I agree that models based on personal experiences can be helpful. The first five circuits in the eight-circuit model seem to be pretty standard psychological/philosophical thought to me, although I am not really trained in either of those disciplines.

However, things kind of go off the rails when the sixth circuit directly claims that LSD enables telepathic communication. At this point the map enters the territory of things that are scientifically testable and as far as I know, telepathy has been tested many times and never proven.

Circuit eight is similar with it's claims of non-local awareness at the human conciousness level.

I am in favor of relaxing the assumption that everything has been figured out but this model instead appears to be throwing out the scientific method. I understand that it's a map used to describe the territory of consciousness but I don't see how it's a very useful map unless you're already assuming that consciousness is not 100% in the physical brain.

Such an assumption runs counter to the current (majority) scientific thought which, as you say, is not necessarily a bad thing. However, without any evidence presented that give reason to think the assumption might be true, I see no reason to follow this model more than I see a reason to follow a model that says God created the universe in seven days or that a race of sentient super-intelligent Beavers chewed the universe out of the fabric of the space time continuum.

This is in the "Lens" section, for what it's worth. The point is the photography, not so much the article.
There are several things the EU can do. First of all, they can freeze and/or seize Google's assets in Europe. Like bank accounts and real estate. Or even more important to Google, all of their European datacenters.

The EU can also disallow sales of Google's products, like any android phone. Or products like the chromecast, and don't forget Nest and Google Home.

And selling ads in Europe from a foreign country isn't too easy either. It is a lot harder to do business with a company which is on the other side of the ocean, and officially doesn't have a precense in the same economic area.

If Google leaves all of that behind in Europe, and is not really allowed to do business in Europe anymore, soon enough there will be a competitor that stands up and can do things better. Especially if they can actually open offices in Europe and do business without major hurdles.
Sometimes they have more features for cheaper - dual SIM and NFC come to mind. US phones are very crippled in general.
That's one part of the negotiation puzzle. EU would want it's citizens to retain access to their google-hosted emails.

Legally speaking, I'm sure there's plenty of ways the EU can force Google to do things it currently does not want to do.

I'd say the EU has lots of negotional angles currently to win things from Google. That is kind of what you get when you have more or less universal legislation power over 40% or so of the world's purchasing power (please correct me, I just bullshitted that guess). And that, alas, was also a large part of why the EU was born. So now we'll will reap the benefits.

If I could say anything to our EU negotiators in this case, it would be: stay brave.
> Even to this day there are a lot of things that "normal" people do that are utterly foreign to me, like going to clubs

I understand that a lot of people who go clubbing actually don't like it, but they're under the false impression that's what people their age do to have fun and they need to participate to meet people, etc.

So normal person == enthusiastic clubber is false.

> watching sports on TV

I personally don't watch sports, but I think the people who enjoy watching them tend to have grown up with them and have a much greater knowledge and appreciation for the game than those who don't. If you don't understand what's going on, a random televised game is very much like watching mediocre language sitcom in a language you don't understand. Not knowing the language of the show doesn't make you less "normal."
The problem is that a lot of people that complain about actual issues, like Facebook stalking, also try telling people about a lot of things that are totally conspiracy theories.

On top of that, as someone with experience in database marketing, people act as if they are being personally spied on. If you are tracking 800k people and you have 20 employees, the issue isn't really having another person looking at your data, the issue is the unethical ways organizations are using that data to manipulate you and the rest of society.

It's the difference between "The government conducts unethical surveillance" and "The government is spying on me."
