Your TDS is altering your perception of the world around you. I’m no Trump fan, but at least I can be objective.

Stop reading the headlines and start reading between the lines. It’s a skill that will serve you well in life.

Last time I checked most people in the US were against the TPP including Clinton.

A good trade deal doesn’t require 5,600 pages.

I’m not worried about trade imbalances in absolute dollars, I’m concerned with trade imbalances with tariffs and subsidies that make US exports unable to compete.

For Canada where did you get the higher average tariff from? What is that? A higher average of all tariffs on all goods? A higher amount of absolute dollars paid in tariffs? The number alone is meaningless without context.

I got down to where he said he paid $10 for shipping and instantly clicked that it was a watch from Aliexpress and it was a classic dropshipping gig.

There were some people a few years ago that managed to sell off a few hundred Hawaiian shirts that were most likely drop shipped from China by using some well targeted FB (and probably Instagram) advertising, and giving the shirts funny names (named after local alcoholic drinks). They were probably making $20 or $30 per shirt.

An interesting take on the Aliexpress game is theive.co [1]. It's basically a curated list of stuff on Aliexpress with referral links. Since I last looked at the website they've apparently launched a product aimed at drop shippers, where you can get market insights. Morally it's murky, but it's clever.

Hey, serious question from an American. How does this policy not cause massive hiring discrimination against young women, especially recently married women? I asked my Canadian relatives this question, and their answers basically boiled down to 'well that would be illegal'. But from what I can tell enforcing anti discrimination in hiring is next to impossible, especially if you interview and hire even a slightly more qualified candidate.

I wouldn't really blame a person for not realizing, back almost 20 years ago, the full extent to which this technology could be used, when coupled with similar tech for audio processing, cheap compute, and the world consuming information primarily from the Internet.
That’s a shame. Hell of a racket they had going there for a while, though.
I agree that number of use is a good factor when choosing a framework. But Vue has incredible tools, resources and community so don't let that get in your way. I've tried all three and Vue is just such a pleasure to use.

People have wildly different views on what Github stars are. Some see it as a way to bookmark project you find interesting while other simply stars whenever they feel like the project is impressive.

Bottomline is: it's not a good metric, it's simply a way to see how "popular" something is and how likely it is that some random developer saw your project.

While anecdotal, I've starred Vue because I see it as a cool project and I've starred React as another cool project. In both case, I did toy projects with the frameworks and never used it in production. On the other hand, apache/httpd I did a lot of projects with and I did not give it a star yet.

In my opinion stars are not endorsement, they're a questionable way to measure how likely it is that your coworker have heard of a given project.
I can't believe this has been going on for three days. YouTube seems like it is actively sabotaging its independent content creator's channels. But in this case it's not just some random kid living with their parent's. MIT and Blender are both respectable orgs.
Most of the automotive industry already knows how to do things safely. It's really just companies like Uber and Tesla that either don't know or don't care.
FWIW, crossovers (the bulk of the "SUV" market) are morphing into station wagons with slightly higher rooflines. Have you ever seen the subaru outback? That's considered a SUV.

The classic SUV, in other words a truck chassis, is an ever shrinking part of the market. FJ Cruiser, Xterra, 4Runner...
I had fun using this with an actual trackball. The physical to digital match is satisfying.
4 days now (since the 15th at least) and nothing out of YT. I realize that the portion of their viewers interested in MIT OCW or Blender is small, compared to the portion interested in FNAF and dental surgery on characters from Frozen... but it's also probably the portion they want to piss off least as an internet company.

Locally-installed root CAs are allowed by HSTS, so if you added the HTTPS proxy to the root store, this would work without warning, unless you manually checked the certificate.

Of course, this only works on machines you're the admin of, which is why it's allowed.
Sure, but he seems very eager to steer the thing towards external interests and sabotage rather than this being an isolated incident. Sounds to me that he is fishing for scapegoats in general...

Ask HN: What type of sever configuration management software should I use?
I have two system running my production (Linux) and now adding one more. I manually copy over Nginx, sshd, Mysql etc. configuration files. Figured now is the time to move to something like ansible, fabric etc.

A friend suggested docker, but the problem is, I can change my existing production machines’ infrastructure. The downtime is way too much to accept.

Do you have suggestions?
There's nothing inherently creepy about it. I imagine it will be very useful for adding context to a scene - which is important for self-driving cars, AR, image classification, etc.

If you take a bunch of photos involving people doing things and extract pose information, I'd imagine it would be helpful in figuring out what's going on in other situations that are otherwise dissimilar.

> It is completely unethical and immoral to ship unproven tech that has the potential to kill people.

Everything "has the potential to kill people" if you put enough of it in a box and drop it from high enough. The question is how much potential, and compared to what. If we want to use strong moralizing language like this, we could just as easily go the other way: "It is completely unethical and immoral to delay technology that has the potential to save lives." That would be true in exactly the same ways, which is to say, it's complicated and we need to avoid moralizing.
Bogus copyright claims
React ecosystem heavily encourages the use of build tools dependent on NPM package management.

Vue users are more likely to bypass NPM. They are often on-boarded with the gentler approach most familiar to those who "sprinkle in some jQuery" - Drop in a <script> tag and you are ready to rock. This approach is more likely to use a local file or from CDN.

I star plenty of things that might be crap, but have something interesting about them. Not saying that applies here, but some of my favorite libraries aren’t starred because I use them so much and have the page memorized. Stars are a terrible metric. For example, I don’t have Rails starred.
It’s against the rules to accuse the other participants of being bots or shills. Please address the argument, not the person.
They decide they want to provide the features you provide directly? See Twitter, Google, Apple, Microsoft etc. It's a very old game at this point and you really should be aware of your risk in being so dependent on what is effectively a closed platform. (i.e. an API does not make a closed platform open) They're providing APIs right now to help fuel their own growth but once that growth levels off, or worse reverses, watch out... they may decide that they want your business and then there will be very little you can do to protect yourself from that.

The analogy makes perfect sense.

They're both instances of a relatively small area with very tight historical ties to a much larger region. The relationship between the local economies and the regional economies bears enlightening similarities.

US states are not sovereign nations. but the analogy b/w EU member states and US states still makes perfect sense in some economic discussions.

The analogy is useful. A more apt criticism of the analogy might be "Switzerland's economy is not tightly integrated and dependent on the EU's economy" or "Switzerland has lots of tariffs", but neither of those things is true.
As you become "good" at driving in harder conditions, you'll use your butt (which is really how you're physically connected to the vehicle) to figure out the traction state of the car, to know if the car is sliding, if it's close to losing the rear end or the front end, if it's pitching down or up, and so on. This is how you know which corrections to make to the vehicle to keep it going fast without losing control.

Pilots of small planes do the same thing. After a while you can just feel small accelerations and change of directions without needing to check some of the instruments.
Exactly my thoughts too. It makes little sense to put this in a sabotage context if they can't provide such evidence.
Is there any other upside to this besides novelty and amusement? It's easy to imagine a dozen applications where this would threaten human privacy and safety.

So this seems to have happened because Youtube wants The Blender Foundation to agree to have their videos monetized.

I'm not clear if they want that because of bogus copyright claims, EU legislation etc, or just because they favour making money over not making money?

Of course GitHub stars do not show usage, it shows interest. Considering Vue came later, we can also say its interest grew much faster.

There is no winner anyway, both React and Vue are amazing tools giving you the power to solve the same problem in different ways: building UIs.
Hmmm... I guess it's been selected that way because it'd covevr the model files and the datasets. It's not about the code as much as the datasets/models.
Yea I think that's spot on, at least the long-term thinking in chess part. I think that thinking about future actions is more often involved in chess than soccer or many other activities. In soccer the players on the board change positions too quickly to think very far ahead.

I came here to say this, once you're calling a 9+ billion dollar company is 'startup' the word has no meaning.
It's standard profit maximization. If you can get a customer to pay $X, and then also sell their data on the side for $Y, then why wouldn't you do it?

The thing people don't seem to realize is that it's not just enough to pay money for what you use. You have to pay more than $X + $Y, i.e. you have to explicitly price yourself out of the price bracket of customers who are willing to put up with being the product.

This means that services where users are a product are going to continue to be the norm as long as a significant fraction of consumers are willing to put up with it.
What's wrong with amusement? Seriously, I'd love to have this in videogames - to import myself and other people into the game. I'd also love to get my hands on a good, fully automated [series of photos] -> [textured 3D human model] pipeline, for anything from silly renders to 3D printing mementos.

Technology is inherently usable both for good and evil. You get both by default. It takes active countermeasures - usually non-tech, like regulations - to limit evil applications without sacrificing the good ones. As a society, we do that to some extent, but unfortunately we're not as successful as I'd like (e.g. if it were up to me, I'd seriously curtail the advertising industry).
So why institute a tariff that makes it harder for US companies to compete, by excusing finished products in order not to piss off consumers?
Open Source is for source code. Binaries aren't under OSS licenses, their source is. This is only misleading if you don't know what Open Source is.

Imagine how ridiculous it would be to say RHEL was not Open Source because you can't distribute your binaries how you want - despite all the source being available under OSD licenses. It's the same claim the bug reporter is making.

You're right that the miners don't have unilateral authority to print more bitcoin, but ultimately they are the muscle behind the process. This is akin to saying "the military can't just print more money to pay for military spending". This is true, and it's unlikely that the military would turn their guns on the institutions in order to achieve this goal because it would threaten the stability of the entire system in which they thrive (like with the miners and bitcoin)... yet... somehow things always work out in such a way where they get their money. It never gets to the point where they have to turn their guns on anyone because their silent authority confers enough influence that the politicians making the decisions (i.e. developer cabals in the case of bitcoin) manage to find solutions that keep them fat and happy while delivering enough voluble rhetoric to ensure that the general population doesn't revolt.

Same thing will happen for the miners eventually.
Yup, we had two approaches. You could send out an "I love purple flowers" email to everyone, or the victim would be "Hoffed." That meant setting the desktop background to that picture of David Hasselhoff, nude with strategically-placed pups.
Not a professional driver, but I've ripped up several racetracks and done plenty of drag racing as an older teen. Your butt tends to feel everything if you don't have ultra-cushy seating, and because of its position relative to the vehicles center of gravity, it will feel more of the effects of various vehicle movements versus the arms or legs. Tune in long enough and you can literally read the road you're travelling just by how it feels, roughness, amounts of liquid on the road, etc.

Ever notice how your butt tries to move more than your hands and feet when making a sharp turn at a moderate speed turn, and how you instinctively correct for it in your seat by leaning or shifting around? Know the phrase 'Fly by the seat of my pants?' Pretty much all of that rolled into one bundle of instinctive attunement.
Appreciate !== vs !=, no type conversion on Stars and Usage in comparison.
Also, agreed. Would be more interesting to crawl all repos to see which have React vs Vue vs Angular for a more detailed understanding of usage.
Why do people care which framework "blows" the other one away? In my opinion, it literally doesn't matter at all and arguing over such things seems amateur.

I would argue that it's not the law that's preventing discrimination, it's the fact that nearly 50% of the workforce is made up of women, thereby excluding a huge category is detrimental to your business. You wouldn't be a very good manager if you decided not to hire women because one day they might take a year off. Additionally, many managers are probably also parents themselves and understand the importance of maternity leave and understand it's part of having a workforce. Plus, in my department, we actually see the benefit of maternity leaves. We get to hire a new person for a year that can bring new insight and experience into the role. If they are good, we try to find a place for them, if they are bad, the year expires and they go off without any fanfare.
