"As they waited, their domestic and foreign opponents saw an opportunity to make the situation worse for them through measures like sanctions. "

America is not an enemy of Venezuela and does not want to hurt them.

Canada is also working with the US on sanctions and here is the motivation from Gov. Canada website [1]:

"After democratic elections held in December 2015 saw a coalition of opposition parties win a majority in the National Assembly, the Venezuelan government proceeded to systematically strip the powers of the National Assembly. In January 2016, President Nicolas Maduro declared a state of emergency and has since been ruling by decree."

Tip of the iceberg.

The US is not at all doing the same thing.

China is spending trillions building infrastructure across the planet.

The US is spending trillions bombing its enemies across the planet.

Both policies are arguably wasteful and misguided, but I'm pretty sure China will be left with the longer standing positive impact and goodwill.
Fwiw, high CBD cannabis gives me memory problems.

Specifically: a 5-10 minute period in the next 24 hours that simply disappears, leaving me standing somewhere, wondering how I got there. It has happened every time, with multiple strains. I kept returning to it because it turns off my almost perpetual emotional pain like a lightswitch.

I have yet to met anyone who has shared this experience, or read anything about in the academic literature.
It handles everything I throw at it (Scala/Akka/Node, Docker, Discord, Slack, Million Chrome Tabs, ect etc etc)
Perhaps this sounds snarky but as a not-buff roughly middle-aged male, I have never had to deal with this....

I do think that there are far better ways to do screening. I haven't been subject to such searches while overseas, that I can recall.

Which clearly puts it in the category of security theater vs. actual security.
It isn't only about the data. When people visit AMP pages from Google Search, they aren't visiting your site. They are visiting a restricted shell of it that is hosted on google.com with a left-right swipe that takes users off of your site instead of deeper inside it. It restricts your markup and monetization, and is one of the largest threats to the WWW at the moment. The web is supposed to be decentralized. Also, mobile-first doesn't mean mobile-everywhere.
> The legal costs of hiring and maintaining them easily adds up to 20-30k $ per year.

Per year? No it doesn't. An H1B is valid for three years, renewable to six. Unless you're doing something strange there is no cost for the other years.

The Columbia hits the Pacific like a firehose hitting pavement, where it spreads in all directions - south past Oregon and California, and north past Washington and British Columbia. This flow is slowly eroding Ocean Shores and other coastal towns. The Quinault tribe is asking the Federal Government to give them some of the Olympic National Forest, to replace the coastal part of their reservation which has washed away.
Has there ever been a change to "improve user experience" that has _actually_ improved user experience? (Looking at you, Google.)
Mostly I'm just rambling and drinking Bell's "The Oracle", so take this for what it is worth. Maybe not even 2 cents.

I've been coding for hire since I was 13, and I'm in my early 50's. I always loved electronics so about 20 years ago I moved into embedded. I left the rat race of the latest language / latest libraries etc. I code in straight C and maybe some assembly if the task demands it.

I feel I get better every year, and the demand and pay shows that. The only thing I've noticed is that I'm slower to anger and more willing to listen to ideas, but like you said, my BS meter is very sensitive.

About the only age-related thing I've noticed is that it takes me longer to heal when I injure something. I can't participate as easily with softball on the parking lot or even frisbee.

I'm not an expert; I truly learn something new EVERY DAY. The difference now is that I can often out-think my coworkers that are in their 20's, all from experience. About twice a year I get to work on things that have never been done before. Mostly, though, it is state machine after state machine, but to be honest, I've never found a lack of motivation with embedded.

It seems that there will always be a need for firmware down on bare metal. At least I'm banking on it, and plan to be doing this for 20 more years or so. As far as "making it big", I don't care. That was never a huge goal. I just wanted to provide for my family and retire some day.

PC app development is a different story. I was burned one too many times and cannot concentrate to write ANYTHING. Why that is (or what the difference is) I don't know.

That is almost always threatened and almost always never happens.

What? There has been a huge amount of offshoring in the past few decades. Not sure you can say it never happens.
I am a naive coder - I started coding in 1992 with Logo, Basic and then C/C++ until 2002. I started with Python last year and have enjoyed solving mathematical problems on Project Euler.

Now, I am building a minor element of credit risk assessment of any borrower by analysing their bank statements. I aim to predict default behaviour of any borrower so that FIs could spend more time on decision-making by improving their turn-around-time in reading hundreds of lines of financial statements. For this, I started learning from Berkeley's Data 8.x

Now I plan to switch to fast.ai and hence want to know if there is anything that I need to take care of. I won't have any problem in picking up linear algebra because I did enjoy Maths in high-school and engineering.
It would also be enough if we'd just stopped thriving for this "perpetual growth in everything" idea.

In that context, it's just absurd how falling birth rates in developed nations are made out to be this "bad thing" that needs to be countered by government-sponsored "make more babies" programs, as seen in Russia, Singapore, and some other places.
Maybe you're agreeing with GP? Analysing the companies would not be a profitable way of picking stocks in a genuinely Efficient Market.

Nearly all are cross breeds, yes. That does not mean that the labels are inaccurate - the species just don't correspond to lay-person's assumptions.

Trainwreck and it's daughter strain, Casey Jones, for example, have a heavily Indica dominant lineage, but behave veyr much like a Sativa. Casey Jones is amusing to bring out at parties: the volume of the room rises precipitously for about 20 minutes, and then... silence. :) It's very reliable.

The quality of the information on strains at the stores depends on the store you frequent. I tip well if the salesperson is knowledgeable and helpful.

Docker is such a mess.

As a tool for building containers its cumbersome, has bizarre and frustrating limitations and has issues that haven’t been addressed in years. You can’t use semver for tags, it eats up all your disk space and you have to manually GC it, etc… Multi-build support is basically useless and invariably you end up writing convoluted bash scripts to get the thing to work.

Caching is terrible pretty much across the board. How many petabytes of data are wasted every day re-syncing apt-get?

As a runtime engine its basically dead for production use. If you ever try to use it you’ll quickly discover that it has tons of problems. It locks up, orphans processes, stops responding to commands, forgets about containers, etc. And its not safe to run arbitrary containers. You’d be surprised by how many companies using Kubernetes gave up using docker a long time ago.

Please save yourself a lot of heartache and just use containerd.

As a concept, containers never really lived up to their potential. "A Docker container image is a lightweight, standalone, executable package of software that includes everything needed to run an application." As long as that application runs in linux.

As a company Docker is a failure. All their cloud stuff is clunky, poorly thought out and at this point largely irrelevent. I'll be surprised if it will last 5 years. Kubernetes won. Those cute, cuddly characters and the Docker name are basically all they have going for them, and all these things, the Moby rename, the requiring login to download, etc... are the death throes of a dying company. Docker is the next jQuery.

People don't realize just how easy all this stuff will be to replace. Google already did it. Like 5 times. (gVisor, jib, kaniko, ...) It was probably some intern's side project.

Microsoft should just get it over with and acquire the company. It would be the perfect cherry on top to their Github cake.

or

or keep using docker's dev client, it can target a locally running k8s now.
I don't think having tracking pixel in gmail is a big thing. Almost every modern messaging system such as whatsapp has read receipts. Since gmail has image proxy, it doesn't leak any information. And most modern email client doesn't open remote image unless allowed explicitly.

> one of the lost tribes of Israel is a popular suspect

As far as I know, this idea is a creation of the Mormon church, which believes (based on their foundational holy text) that all native Americans are descended from a lost tribe of Israel, and which has spent significant resources sending archeologists around North America to prove this theory. (It turns out that if you lead with your conclusions, it is hard to do science. Some of the investigations of physical evidence are alright, but the reasoning and conclusions drawn from them are farcical.)

Google lock in, like Microsoft's MSN idea in 1995... Google wants you to never leave their servers, so they can track much more and much easier. Just bad for a free and open web.
I live about an hour away and I’ve been down there recently to look for artifacts. No luck. It’s surprisingly difficult to learn where exactly where to look for them.

It's hard to predict. Even I got both acceptance and retraction email. My idea was accepted last year in Startup School when I had no traction. We've pivoted from that idea entirely and working on an enterprise software when we have a letter of intent of from two customers. Today, we're not in their advisor track :-)

I have to ask since you are the only other Kansan I have encountered on HN.

What do you do and how did you end up there?
Can you give me the ability to flag people? I'd rather do that at least if I can't respond to something deliberately provocative.
It's all anecdotal, but:

When I was an adolescent I was diagnosed with ADD after a few days of examination, and was recommended adderall, which my pareents thankfully refused.

My mom told her GP she had trouble focusing and was prescribed adderall pretty much willy nilly.

I know quite a few people who are perpetually on SSRIs for anxiety or depression, yes it works as a palliative measure for some but I do question both the long term efficacy, if the magnitude of the side effect and dependence risks are understated, and most importantly whether or not the patients worked hard at all of the endogenous variables relating to their lifestyle to optimize for happiness before slavishly accepting their diagnosis.

I don't like that the conspiracy nut / tinfoil hat / anti science pejorative gets thrown around so easily as an argument ender in discussions like this. It is most definitely NOT scientific how these diagnoses are done, it's heuristic based, it's based on observed models and patterns, obviously, since we barely have slightest idea about how our brain is working under the hood / how it differs among individuals / what leads to long term convalescence.

So, for some people, diet, exercise, getting out of unproductive or toxic relationships/jobs, can help, for others, they need the boost of an SSRI or something to get out of the bog, etc. but I definitely suspect that very many people are prematurely getting pushed to the latter option without fully exploring the former, as was the case with my mother and I (except with focus issues instead of depression, though i suspect they're related)

Think of the parent commenter -- Say he went to a doctor or a psychiatrist with his issues. How much time do you think they would spend with him before getting to the point of prescribing him something to take care of his issues. Maybe 10 hours max? Probably more like 2 or 3? Often times less? Whereas he is obviously a thoughtful, intelligent, and diligent person who has probably spent years responsibly experimenting on what works for him and found that it is marijuana. Yet that would never even be an option for the docs to prescribe to him. So if he were to slavishly follow what you deem as "science", he would be stuck in the paradigm that he needs an SSRI or benzo or whatever it may be. Whereas by being anti-scientific, and self-medicating, he's here telling us how happy/successful he is.

Another more prominent example would be the opioid crisis.
This is solid advice. Another common trick is to disable the submit event when the submit button is clicked for the first time, preventing two requests from firing, when the user double clicks. Then re-enable the event, if the request fails. Ideally this is done in addition to server side nonce validation, and not as the only preventative measure, because browser differences, or network issues could cause a double request (more likely if the HTTP GET method is used, instead of a proper POST). Regardless server and client side techniques should be used together to create a better UX, similar to using both client and server side email format validation.
I strongly suspect there’s a speed difference between evolving to survive a newly-hostile environment and evolving to take advantage of new opportunities to thrive.
Both right: on an individual level the people with the most money might or might not be the smartest, but in aggregate the money moves towards the smarter bettors, weighting their votes higher in future rounds, improving the aggregate intelligence of the market.

Thanks Sam, I think you can surprise the "rejects" by doing something to inspire them to continue to pursue their projects and dreams, maybe a competition and winner gets something. Maybe invite them to an event in MV and have a party.

I didn't say I didn't understand what he meant, I was saying I don't believe the statement he made. I agree with "I have no idea about the factual accuracy" and is the only thing I was asking about.

I highly suggest you read through the release notes, and the forum, to get a better understanding of the security of palemoon.
Palemoon is updated regularly, including security updates, patches and DiD(Defense in depth) fixes. These are fixes that identify potential problems, and fix them before an exploit has been found.

While Palemoon was forked from firefox, the current codebase isn't stagnant, it is updated quite frequently.
Human activities released nearly 37 billion tons of CO2 in 2017. That would yield about 84 billion tons of limestone if it were captured as pure calcium carbonate.

Estimated mass of Mt. Everest: 450 billion tons (I went with the answer from the person who used terrain contour data):

https://www.quora.com/What-would-the-estimated-weight-of-Mou...

It admittedly would be pretty awesome, if impractical, to build two Mount Everests per decade from CO2-captured-as-limestone.

Building things out of CO2 captured as minerals, building things out of CO2 captured as wood: they're fine ideas, but they are also grossly inadequate to offset current emission rates. That's why every plan for curbing AGW starts with deep emissions cuts. It's a lot easier to not emit CO2 in the first place than to capture CO2 that has already been emitted. Plans for negative emissions are still necessary but they can't deal with tens of billions of tons of CO2 per year.

Oracle recently did this for the Oracle Client libraries too. Shame.
Haha yes. The truth is that every critic of your service will do that if you monetize. It's definitely one key thing to take care of when you try to switch to generating money. You need to have a good story around how you're doing it.

The guys who act like "it's only about the lies" are usually not decision makers, but it's important to be able to have enough a story that the decision makers don't get their thoughts contaminated by the perennially negative.

I think Docker will be fine with what they're doing. This is a storm in a teacup. But they should've bundled it with other features like auto-updates or something.

Unfortunately this discussion is full of pot cliche and neo liberal bias that only leads to “sobriety” and fear of taint on your “career” .. marijuana is just like coffee and really you can vilify that but honestly the sidewalk leads to other things like more/less vice its up to you and you’re self knowing. mj can be had by the smartest/dumbest but its not a thing in itself that has a direct correlation to you’re “success” so lets all pull our pants up.
This is just inaccurate. GDPR is derived from warranted concern over rampant data abuse. And it's actually much easier to make a startup GDPR compliant than it is to overhaul a large company with rigid systems already in place. If anything, GDPR favors startups.
I believe this also affects iPhone users that utilize Google services like Maps and searching via Chrome.

I am just saying that when you make these kinds of statements to support your arguments, you are not doing yourself any favors. It is the sign of a weak argument. Am I supposed to assume that because Nina is a woman and journalist that she is a liar? I find these type of statements very sexist. As for who noticed, I did.

I'm not the authority on what should or should not be posted on HN.

What I can say is that I preferred the version of HN where the eclectic and mind-opening topics would get voted to the top and thought provoking debate from domain experts would be left in the comments.

Increasingly it's posts directly from main-stream media pushing the main-stream media narrative, and the comments serve little to no value other than providing a place to declare one's political ideologies.

If I wanted to read main-stream media I would be reading it.
The US is arguably a worse abuser of human rights, internationally if not domestically, and yet every story about the US doesn't devolve into a big discussion about US's human rights abuses. Imagine if every article about the US talked about our hundreds of military bases, the millions dead in the middle east due to US war, the current war in Yemen, and all the dictatorships the US has installed over the years.
Bingo! Those work great paired with a AWS Lambda function
