Both well-defined protocols and vaguer design/architectural principles have their place. But is it a great idea to take a bunch of such principles and bundle them up under a (confusing) name? Perhaps not.

It seems to me that the initial popularity of "REST" was largely because it wasn't SOAP (and didn't have to be XML), but it was still a name you could give what you were doing that made it sound like you were following some sort of standard.
So he was guilty anyway, that's all I needed to read.
The pairing of places associated with business and leisure should come as no surprise. The super wealthy do their business in and primarily live in the former while maintaining vacation properties in the latter. Then when they just want to coast on the returns they primarily live in the latter and charter a flight or spend a few days a week in the former as needed to for business.
Okay, but let's examine the other side. I am not directly supporting this, but I'd imagine the case is

"This is asymmetric warfare in which the adversary is not a hypothetical threat, but has killed many thousands of people globally (not just 9/11). By joining a hostile armed force they can be legally killed in combat operations against that force. By operating asymmetrically, they are relinquishing more rights under the Geneva convention. Because of the nature of this, trial by jury could put humint allies at risk"

Parts of the way this "war" is being prosecuted is wrong, but I don't think this an utter abdication of a moral compass. There really are people planning and executing plans to kill other people, and they should be stopped.

Obviously this story shows that are some disgraceful flaws in the the way the process is set up and executed.

> All I can say is that other source clearly describes that the Fermi team announced detection of a gamma ray burst well beforehand, and that the ligo team treated the situation as exceptional due to that announcement.

I explained this in a reply that I just posted to your other comment. GCN is basically a mailing list where notices are posted in real-time to coordinate the observation of transient phenomena. If you dig into the citations from the paper you quoted, you'll read that the GW data takes on the order of 5 minutes to process before it can register an event, but it was indeed detected in real-time by their algorithms (gstlal).

There's nothing in the paper you quoted to support the claim that the LIGO team adjusted their analysis based on Fermi's announcment to GCN. 6 minutes isn't "well beforehand" when the GW data takes 30-60 minutes for human vetting (http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0004-637X/748/2/13...).

> My understanding is that there is expected to be no accompanying external evidence for waves generated by inspiraling black holes.

Multiple signals is the whole point of multi-messenger astronomy. Each detection was independent, but having evidence in GW, GRB, and optical provides multiple lines of evidence, which is a cornerstone of good science.
What would the financial implications be if founders bought out investors like this, but then raised a larger round at a higher valuation? Does that happen? I never even considered taking on debt to buy out investors - but after seeing this it seems like a lot of high growth startup founders could position themselves well by doing so.

Really? Because in the case of Anwar al-Awlaki I think it's much more of a gray area.

> It's not really fair to say he opened this can of worms

He was the sitting President and personally authorized the first extrajudicial assassination of an American Citizen in the GWOT.

As the Executive Chief, "The buck stops (t)here."
Unfortunately, I think this is a thornier issue than most of these articles give it credit for.

Suppose for a second that the US was at war with Canada and John Doe was an American citizen, but he was serving as a uniformed combatant in the Canadian army. Under such circumstances, I can't imagine anyone would have a problem with the United States military killing John Doe in battle without trial.

Obviously, the circumstances around the kill list are murkier... The "war on terror" isn't a war in the traditional sense, terrorists or suspected terrorists are not uniformed combatants, the CIA is not necessarily the military, and it's not really certain that dropping a bomb on somebody's "cafe experience" is equivalent to killing them in a pitched battle in a declared war.

Still, I have a hard time imagining what rights a US citizen is supposed to be entitled to when they are effectively a foreign terrorist working to attack the US. Are we supposed to have a trial for them without them present? (We all know how that would go.) Ask for their home country to extradite them? (Country will almost certainly either be unwilling or incapable.) Send the Navy Seals to kidnap them and force them to stand trial? (Dangerous and wildly impractical, not to mention boots on the ground increasing the risk of creating a larger conflict with a foreign nation.)

Personally, I have two take-aways on the issue:

1) I wouldn't want to be the judge that has to sort this stuff out, and I hope they do it well. It's not easy.

2) I think the bigger problem is drone killings in other nations FULL STOP. Regardless of who the targets are, it's completely unacceptable for any country to think they can just fly into another nation's airspace and start dropping bombs on anybody they please without a declaration of war, some sort of cooperative MOU, or a join military exercise...

I've basically abandoned the term "REST", because for all X where X is the current topic of conversation, REST is not X.

Any term this confused just isn't useful.

"Monad" seems to be similarly confused, but there's a concrete math concept to fall back on, and concrete definitions in various languages. REST doesn't have that. No matter where I try to stick the pin in the landscape and say "That is REST", I am reliably informed by half-a-dozen people that no, that's not it, it's over there... and I get six different "theres".

(No, the thesis does not define it, in practice. Even when people reference it, they still point to different places! And besides... so a guy sat down and wrote a thesis paper on a word... that's great and very nice for him, and not worthless, but let's not go overestimating how much claim that gives you to a particular word. I certainly don't grant it enough claim to overcome the fact that still nobody knows what it means.)

Useless.

(I've carefully written this to be clear that I'm speaking about the term. Whatever $YOU think REST is may very well have good ideas in it, but labeling it REST only makes things worse.)
The idea behind due process is that everyone has a right to it, not just a select class of people your government is sympathetic with.
Perhaps he should have written a specification for REST.
Yeah well, about Mikhael Kalashnikow. He build the famous AK47 for Stalins UdSSR. NKWD, Gulags, etc. were active since many years by that time, organized state-terrorism against anyone opposed to the glorious soviet system and their leader ... in other words, his words sound quite hypocryte. But when you consider your system belong to the good ... you probably close your eyes to everything else.

But I go along with Einstein. The more technogy is avaiable to the masses, the more powerful a single persons becomes. There might come a time soon, when anyone could just tinker a atomic bomb together in his garage ... we seriously need to change our way of thinking, till that happens.
I'd say in both cases it's pretty much a no. To take another example, producers have input into a movie but nobody would credit them as the sole or even primary movers.

I don't think it's an editorial stance any more than deleting articles about Microsoft and keeping the ones about Apple and Google is an editorial stance: HN has a long-standing policy that if a thread becomes hostile and devolves into a flamewar, it's removed from the front page.

Unfortunately, any thread about Microsoft quickly devolves into a flamewar. Similarly, any thread about politics, especially one that can be brigaded from other places, will quickly turn into a flamewar.

It's not that dang (et al) remove just because they want to, they remove because it becomes toxic. They stay up and in place long enough to know that.
Building the Troost Wall: Structural Racism in Kansas City [video] (2017)
I just started reading "Society and Sanity"[0]. It's an interesting read so far, and opens with a prediction that if society forgets what a human is, that society will tend towards this sort of behavior-- arbitrary treatment of fellow humans, with the only argument against such treatment being, "I don't like it, and I wish you'd be kinder to people." And the counter argument being, "I like it, and I don't want to be kinder to people." If we're to solve this problem, we have to get back to the essential foundational idea that human beings have intrinsic rights which exist and are not simply concessions of the state.

The originals may not have been earth shattering when you first saw them, but when they were first released in '77-'83, they were earth shattering. They demolished box office records and made sci-fi/fantasy a mainstream cinematic success.
The Infinity Gauntlet sounds like the start of an ancient writing unraveling under weight of continuity and past easy fixes to writing oneself into the corner since it not only allows retcons but in character which makes nothing really matter. A literal plot device. Captain America is dead and/or a nazi? Someone go punch Red Skull. Okay you reversed it without ending world hunger, disease or preventing the Holocaust? Our hero sure is an asshole.

I don't know that it's about being less moral or legal. Rather an uneasiness with the military being used against citizens because it is a clearly understood line which is difficult to cross in "boiling frog" fashion like in other areas (privacy, for example), so it's easy to point out and condemn in concrete terms. Like a rallying landmark against overreach.

Because of the way insurance tends to work in America, care providers tend to throw shit at the wall to see what sticks. In other words the first bill is always an outrageous amount of charges that may or may not be valid. Additionally there's something called a negotiated rate that an insurer has with the care provider, usually the care provider's bill does not show this rate but rater some fiction that not even those without insurance pay. If you look at the claims your insurer pays out to the care provider you will see significantly lower amounts than what's billed.

If anyone knows why care providers high ball the rates on bills when insurers have negotiated rates, I'd love to hear it. Is it something in the insurer's contract that gives insured the illusion that insurance is saving them a lot?

In any case I've received first medical bills in the many thousands of dollars only to have them go through four or five revisions before settling down to hundred dollars. This is because the first bill you receive reflects all of the claims to insurance (e.g. if your insurance covers 80% you're on the hook for 20%) but as the insurer and the care provider negotiate and revise the billing the price falls.

In my opinion it's a horrible experience for the insured and the added stress of the huge bills certainly doesn't help with recovery.

You're not just killing terrorists with drones though. You're killing innocent, wrongly suspected terrorists. You're killing their innocent families. You're killing their innocent neighbors. You're killing their innocent friends. All because you "suspect" one person in the room is a terrorist.

Replace gangrene with whatever bacterial infection you want.

You've been infected with an antibiotic resistant strain - of tuberculosis for example. Please explain how you'll resolve the situation.

Note that I'm not arguing lifestyle changes aren't important; I agree with parts of your other comments on that issue. I just don't understand why you think that pursuing other research avenues into defeating antibiotic resistant bacteria, that can cause a resurgence in plagues that were previously under control, is a bad or unimportant thing.

Major difference between making an album and handing it off to a producer or sound engineer. Pretty poor comparison.
I recently had a heart thing that put me in the hospital and included a med-flight to the hospital. Total bill was close to $40,000 if i'm not mistaken. I had to cover the $4,000 deductible but after that everything was covered. Additionally, my employer is part of something I don't understand(insurance is too damn confusing), I think its an HSA which covered an additional $2,000 towards my deductible. End of the day I only had to pay $2,000 out of pocket. Not bad.
> Otherwise it seems to me that the Java/C# model is the best design for most tasks.

This is discussed in the article (basically, Google needed low latency servers):

« If you want 10 answers ask for several more and take the first 10 and those are the answers you put on your search page. If the request exceeds 50%ile reissue or forward the request to another server. If GC is about to run, refuse new requests or forward the requests to another server until GC is done. And so forth and so on.

All these are workarounds come from very clever people with very real problems but they didn't tackle the root problem of GC latency. At Google scale we had to tackle the root problem. Why?

Redundancy wasn't going to scale, redundancy costs a lot. It costs new server farms. »

Art apprenticeship has existed since Caravaggio's time and beyond. But one relatively modern phenom is that you don't see artists assistants emerging after their period of indenture as stars themselves. People tend to get plucked for glory right out of school.

Without emerging with a name or career of their own.

> That requires implicit knowledge of the 'correct' endpoint. If that endpoint changes or anything in between, you'll have to start versioning your API, which basically tells all existing clients: Sorry, you got to update.

In exactly the same way that the "RESTful" version requires implicit knowledge of the content types: that knowledge it not implicit at all, it is specifically and explicitly embedded in the system.

The word you're looking for is static.

> Allowing clients to discover resources is a future-proof way to keep your client libraries compatible and evolve your API without versioning.

That is completely untrue.

> But if you intend to design something future-proof (and we are talking about 10+ years), then REST has already proven to be very successful (your latest browser can still browse a web page from 15 years ago…)

Because it has a somewhat intelligent and flexible human driving it and able to adapt in changes to the visited targets. Not so with a programmatic client.
I'm just curious about what they're referring to (user- or developer-hostile). What is it that you find developer-hostile?

They mentioned user-hostile in their first sentence and then went on to say the Waterfox devs were having difficulty with Quantum, so I'm really just asking about either.

I am generally just curious, as a user of Firefox. I currently trust it more than Chrome but I'm concerned if there's a trend of disimprovement.
