Really? And you know this how? Just because the Chinese or Russian government's don't make a public spectacle, doesn't mean they haven't indicted US citizens for espionage. I'm willing to bet there's more than one US government employee who would be arrested the second they cleared customs in one or both of those countries.
Great, but how does this accomplish anything. As GRU officers, I highly doubt they would ever travel to the US in the first place, which means they can't be punished in any meaningful way.
I just bought my .net domain name from namecheap and setup protonmail. It's been a year but I'm still surprised that people think it's cool to have an email like jack@jack.net. It's like I'm a big deal or something.

I like protonmail enough to buy their first tier email hosting, which gives this ability.

And, if I find a better email hosting service, or roll my own, my email doesn't change, of course.
Yeah, I've used priceline to stay in Michigan, mostly. I've never had trouble with declining to put a cc on file at the hotel.
Drove out to Connecticut and their policy was hard, of course I didn't have cc funds available and I had a carload of kids that had been traveling all day. One of the guys there, a bellhop I think, put the charge on his card and trusted me not to screw him. One of the nicest things a stranger has ever done for me.
Replying to an unfortunately killed comment which raised common, potentially legitimate (given the success of various spin efforts) though naive and poorly informed questions:

> Just checking... But in the Russian Hacking Scandal... Was any of the information released to the public wrong or fake?

It's the Russian election meddling scandal, the hacking was just one piece of it, and, yes, much of the information fed to the public in the course of that operation was false.

Some of that has been covered in the special counsel’s previous indictment of Russian organizations and individuals involved in the propaganda end of the operation.

> Because if the issue is that "Russia meddled!" by showing true things

It's not; the issue is that a US Presidential campaign actively collaborated in an influence operation by a hostile foreign power directed against the US (that is itself part of a larger operation being conducted not only the US but the entire Western Alliance), that that influence operation was integral to the success of the Presidential campaign, and that the US President (who is, by virtue of that position, also effective head of a major US political party) may, therefore, effectively be an agent of a hostile foreign power working against the interests of the US and her allies.
That's a great resource. We've tried to be consistent in using these terms. I think a lot of the confusion and lack of standardization over terminology came from the fact that database and distributed systems research had less overlap in the past...

Consistency in the ACID sense meaning something different from CAP Consistency is another good example.
> Perhaps that is why other heads of state choose their words carefully... there are places where snark, innuendo and sarcasm are in poor taste.

Sure but what constitutes crossing the line is debatable. Plus he wasn't a head of state at the time, he held no office whatsoever and was only a candidate in arguably the dirtiest election of most people's lives.

> What is the purpose of said “joke”? Did it enhance your life in some way?

I thought it was funny and enjoyed the line. As a human I generally enjoy laughing so yes it enhanced my life.

> Did it advance the interests of the USA in some way?

I'd wager others thought it was amusing as well and that may have lead to a more positive opinion of Trump which in turn may have lead to greater voter turn out. A sense of humor can connect with a lot of people. Those that agree with his policies and agenda for the country would see things that lead to his election, such as demonstrating a sense of humor, as positive things.

> What are the limits?

There's no specific rule, it's up to the public to decide. Harping on Clinton's missing emails and private server setup was a go-to topic for Trump including commenting about how it was likely a hacking target by foreign governments. Joking about one of those governments providing the emails as evidence is (IMHO) well within bounds.

> Would you consider Strozk’s texts as “jokes” as well? Why or why not?

There's definitely a lot of hyperbole in Strozk's texts but even stripping that away I wouldn't want him anywhere near an investigation of a political ally or adversary. It's the same reason you wouldn't want him on a jury. It's not that people aren't allowed to have opinions or even strong opinions. It's that once there's been a demonstration of animus or bias the end product will be tainted.

> To bring this back to hacker news, would you prefer a language syntax where you could insert meaningless statements that the interpreter or compiler could selectively decide to execute or not based on some non deterministic property? Lord knows we have enough problems with UB in C already ;)

Politics, and more generally human interaction, is non-deterministic. As much as I love strong typing and well formed expressions, I wouldn't want the entire world outside of software to be like that. There's beauty in the non-determinism.
If it’s not true then you are actually removing the only major benefit of upgradability all together. Just get what’s available today since it’s fast enough and will be for some time.
My take was that if they already bought the ASICs, mining may make sense at break even for electricity so they can continue to accumulate and hold bitcoin if they think it will pop to 20K+ or more in the future.
Most likely. You'll rarely see a corporation encourage the government to do anything unless it helps them or hurts their competition.
It was kind of funny, though.
I'm aware that some of the reasons are understandable.

It's understandable that people want their neighborhood to stay similar to when they bought in. It's understandable that people who drive everywhere don't want more traffic or competition for parking. It's understandable that rich people don't want poorer, less academically accomplished families at their schools.

But just because the reasons are understandable, doesn't mean they're good, or that they outweigh the bad. Zoning in the US has a number of hugely negative effects, and it desperately needs reformation.
Simplest explanation: Big players are willing to operate at a loss to gain marketshare. Then when bitcoin hits $100k you're dominating the market and bringing in the big bucks.
The larger "person's name" namespace includes the first name and last name. And people do generally treat it as a surprise when they find someone with the same name.
So like YAML, TOML ain't markup language either, despite the recursive acronym and the "ML" suffix. If your name was Mark instead of Tom, would you have named it MARKML, and would it still not be markup language?
You must be an app user, like myself. It lacks functionality. You can tell if you log into the website.
I sort of doubt that, you would want to use the mining equipment as soon as you get it because more efficient equipment would/could come out between now and then making your profits a lot less or even your equipment obsolete
Namespaces can help with that. For example, I note that you aren't just John, you're John Fawcett. And you probably have a middle name (or two, or more).

I bet you've worked somewhere with a collision on John. Did you adopt a handle, like John F, or maybe JohnDotAwesome?
Are the accused allowed to examine the evidence used to charge them?
In countries that happen to have low inflation. When inflation rises, government makes sure ordinary people cannot hedge against it.
>> Paternity fraud could be solved easily by mandatory paternity tests upon birth.

> Paternity tests are accurate, but they are not 100% accurate.

I think most people would consider the problem solved if they were 99% accurate. Also, like all medical tests, a adverse result would require further follow up for confirmation to rule out potentially confounding factors.
If you have customer-managed keys like parts of Google Cloud, it keeps even Google from reading your data on disk.
> We currently ask our applicants to do a pull request to one of our open source projects.

"We currently ask our applicants to volunteer for one of our marketing efforts." I'd claim unfamiliarity with it too.

If you want to test skills, give them a toy problem to implement. If you want them to do something of value to your company, pay them.
I guess they were thinking that the owner probably didn't have a choice. When the restaurant is just starting, they probably didn't have anyone to take over for them.
I'm going to guess it's the usual reminder that statements in indictments are a description of the story the prosecutor plans to tell, not what they can actually prove. They are allowed to leave out anything that isn't consistent with their story.
Indeed I noticed too. Profitability halved compared to 4 weeks ago. There are various possible causes, such as miners having to use equipment they ordered before, but 6 months after the peak, and given the costs of power, it seems unlikely. Mining remains widly profitable. A side effects is that it increases the security of the network.

My best explanation is that we are noticing the runup to another peak.

Money can't buy enough coins through mining equipment anymore, and therefore will eventually buy existing coins directly, causing another peak.

I'd hazard to say that almost any 3-letter abbreviation has been already taken, many of the easy-to-pronounce ones, multiple times.
It sounds like my info is out of date, which makes me very happy considering how much I love Firebase.
This piece is very melodramatic, ignores huge pieces of US history, and the US's place in world history. No citations or references. Starts off relying on cherry picked headlines to set a biased tone that doesn't reflect reality for most US citizens.
Same thing with Flux and Yarn.
The Atlantic has this article that explores that cultural divide in depth:

http://www.theatlantic.com/article/559130/
And you object to journalists using "clever" titles based on trending topics? I mean, that's probably 90% of headlines. Or do you just find this one particularly objectionable for some reason?
The forms are all the same for opting out, but what exactly they let you put out of is different. In Citi's case it seems to include sharing information with their affiliated for direct marketing, which is what we're concerned about. (I'm not sure what the law is regarding sharing for other purposes though.)
"More people require more services."

Well yes, of course that's true. But more people also means more taxes to fund those services.
Wow, that's terrible! We should probably ban cash because it is being blatantly used for money-laundering.
This indictment doesn't seem to rule out the assertion that Wikileaks got their copy of the emails from someone in the DNC.

It's possible that the DNC email server was compromised multiple times.
But look, if I started a company called McDonald's, everyone would be confused and it'd probably be illegal. Complaining on forums about names is the open source community's alternative to trademarks.
I was going to say something like this. I have encountered "lard" in Europe quite a lot, but lard in the US is a little different. Anyway, "pure" fat is definitely an acquired taste and I agree with the GP that fat does concentrate all sorts of flavors good and bad and can be quite nasty.
> Ken, if you ever stumble on this comment, thank you!

His email address takes a very short time to find and he's on Facebook. Just a suggestion: why not send a note and thank him for real? You might make his afternoon a little brighter.

(I'm awful about thank you notes and if you knew me you'd be within your rights to call me a hypocrite, but still!)
I wouldn't even consider your company based on this alone.
I cannot think of a reasonable argument against this if security is any priority at all at NPM.
Probability is not binary. The probability that you will want to move your app, cross-cloud distribute your app, or get it turned off is much higher than those things you mentioned. This is also true about the contents of the data instead of just the ifaces since using NoSQL databases often means distributed in lieu of backups.

It's not that hard to run a few Cassandra machines, or if you can accept relational, RDS or other managed Postgres options are fine. It's just this vendor lock in stuff gets really annoying to refactor/migrate IME and in many cases if your time to market is that important, use a cloud-provided RDBMS that will let you be portable. I'd rather go from PG to Cassandra than Google data store to AWS data store to whatever other provider data store du jour.
I heard a rumor that Amazon wanted to offer Kafka as a managed service, couldn't get it to work they way they wanted, and then said "f--k this" and wrote something that is functionally similar.
To be fair, Dhall is a whole hell of a lot more flexible than YAML. That's kinda the idea, it's proposing a principled compromise between XML and "an embedded language in an interpreted turing complete language module." It's not something you see very often, and it's even more rare to see as a separated executable that uses *nix pipes and files for delivery when needed.
Thank you so much for this detailed response, much appreciated. I'll give some of your recommendations a try. Just to clarify, the GrenDronach 15 is the tawny cask version, right?
Is postgres on the same machine or on a separate one?
The claim that President Trump is an anti-American, Russian agent is insane.

OpenGL is only used on Mac when the screen resolution is detected as fairly high. We use OpenGL because Core Graphics is too slow to copy the pixel buffer to the screen at 60 fps. We don’t, however, composite the interface using OpenGL.

OpenGL is not used on Linux or Windows. Jon explained to me that Sublime Text 1.x (Windows only) was OpenGL, but he ran into so many bugs related to poor drivers that he backed away from OpenGL for ST2 and 3.
Did you read the article you linked to?

>The biggest mistake non-Italian speakers make with this absolutely delicious regional delicacy is that they translate it to “lard”, which, it must be strongly pointed out, it is not. What we call “lard” in English is known as strutto in Italian, which is used commonly for conserving, pastry making or frying. Lardo, however, is cured pig’s back fat, a unique type of salumi.

So, no, what is called 'lard' is not gourmet in Italian cuisine. That's a wholly separate thing from 'lardo', the delicacy you're referring to.
One of my fond memories I have from a trip to Japan is sitting on the grass in a park in Tokyo and sipping on green tea acquired from a nearby vending machine.
Yeah but, what rights are being violated? Less importantly, why do you expect me to care that you don't like moving? Is there a more irrelevant thing to be brought up for public policy discussions?
They're already made at a local level, and it's a disaster.

I'm not sure they have to be escalated all the way to the feds, but moving them to the metro area level would avoid the rampant NIMBYism you see in cities and neighborhoods in the bay area, for example.
I think you misread my original comment.

I was saying that the Blackmagic eGPU in an upgradeable form factor would mean that you get a 200-300 $ (or something like that) GPU enclosure with some electronics in it (Thunderbolt hub, power supply etc.). Then you stick a current GPU into it. This would make sense because GPU replacement cycles are much shorter than the interconnect upgrade cycle. That's why I said that most applications are still fine today with the over ten year old PCIe 2.0.

So just to reiterate: PCIe bus speed is simply not a limiting factor for the overwhelming majority of GPU applications.
You call it NIMBY’ism, they call it the people who actually live and invest in an area wanting to have the final say, not distant interests which might just be interested in developer kick backs.
I'm glad you enjoy your detached house and large yard. I truly do.

So long as you don't try to use zoning laws to make that the only game in town, I think we'll get along quite well.
Another point that often gets lost when talking about ACID guarantees is the maximum scope of a transaction that a system supports. There are many systems which support ACID guarantees for a single record or shard, but fewer that can support fully distributed transactions across a sharded dataset in a scalable manner.

This comes off like an attempt to turn a set of perceived slights into an issue of discrimination. "Men's rights" groups mostly seem to be a reaction against attempts to address institutionalized misogyny. Why is it hard to acknowledge that society has been and still is biased in favor of white men? (disclaimer: I am a white man)
The line is so long and non moving not because of these supposed line cutters, but because the people at the front of the line managing it are so slow and stingy processing the people in the line.
That's simply not true. There are plenty of cheap investments (via ETFs) for pretty much any risk profile. If you save money in the form of currency on a savings account then you misunderstand modern financial markets. That's not the idea behind a currency.

We don’t use GPU acceleration on Windows or Linux, and only on Mac to push pixel buffers to the GPU. All compositing is done in software, and we have our own library for glyph caching.
Usually true for graduate hires but lateral hires of experienced devs are more uneven in quality. Where I work, campus recruits are like geniuses, while some experienced engineers are just buzzing through.

There's no way anything resembling GDPR would pass in the United States, at least not in the next decade. Targeted regulations seem more likely to be feasible because they will be smaller and easier to get through negotiations and approved by the US House and Senate. (Not that I think even this sort of regulation would be easy with how things are right now)

Laws the size of GDPR in scope often take more than a decade here to pass - the ACA is a good example, and even after it passed there are still people fighting over whether it's valid and how it should be enforced, while other people are actively trying to repeal it. If we tried to handle something like facial recognition that way, the law would be useless because by the time it made it through the process and got put into effect the harm would already have been done.
You aren't going to change what people around here like. And complaining about downvotes usually just attracts more.

How do people get into whiskey, anyway?

My few contacts looked like this:

* About 15 years ago I visited a friend who was studying in Edinburgh. She didn't know too much about it, but got into drinking it now and then, and she showed me two or three types. I liked them, although the only thing I can differentiate is peat or no peat, more or less. And she told me that it's okay to put water in it. Blew my mind!

* Around the same time, three of my friends got into whiskey. A lot. I sometimes tasted a bit when I was at their home. Two of them (a couple) fell into that hole and are now proud owners of many, many bottles, club memberships of Scottish distilleries, special glasses, holiday trips to a dozen distilleries, magazine subscriptions, everything.

* Whenever I hear whiskey fans talk about the drink, I hear wine talk. "It's a bit like freshly mowed grass from the south side of the hill, and a lot of bananas afterwards" or stuff like that. It turns me off, but it seems to be obligatory to talk like that.

* Two years ago I was at a pretty renowned whiskey bar/store: lots of different whiskeys, very expensive ones behind a fence, the owner also travelling to whiskey fairs. I asked the waitress to recommend one, for a total beginner. She had no clue about what the bar had to offer and said "maybe try the offer of the day?". Probably a temporary worker, but still...

* A year ago I met my friends again when I came back home. There was a small whisky fair (think: fifteen stores/importers from around Germany, and I think Austria as well). That was the worst anti-PR you could imagine. First of all, again nobody could recommend something for a beginner and maybe explain why they recommended this or that. They just shoved something towards me. When I even dared to ask, because this whole affair was so embarassingly snobbish. I was cringing hard when my friend was "debating" the finer points of Gaelic pronunciation with an importer. Or when another importer didn't want to tell where the (brandlabelled?) whisky was from, instead doing a little quiz ("There is a creek where distillery X is located, and if you follow it upstream, there are Y other distilleries. It's the one with no letter "C" and a yearly output of less than Z litres" or something like that). This was simply a bunch of nerds showing how much smarter they were than their counterpart.

* So far I'm very rarely buying something, and if I do, it's from the supermarket, and for mixed drinks. Jim Beam, usually. Hate me!
In this case, Siete Leguas still produces tequila - would be interesting to compare, as the prices between Siete Leguas and Patrón are not too far off.

The defendants will have the opportunity to dispute the evidence and challenge the legality of its acquisition before a judge and then several layers of appeals courts. What we know is that the prosecutors have already done their due diligence, that warrants were granted after judicial review, and that the evidence obtained from those warrants was enough to convince a grand jury to indict, regardless of whether the highly classified intel used to get that evidence was genuine or not.

More importantly we know that the career Republicans running the office of special counsel, who incidentally all left multi-million dollar a year jobs to be at the center of the most politically charged, controversial, and scrutinized investigations in American history, have staked their reputations and careers on the truth of all of the documents they have filed in court, under oath.
