No. The difference is that NY Dem primary voters are over 50% in NYC, NY state voters are a greater portion in the general election.

So running too left can win you the primary but lose the general.

True, there were a couple teams recently with proof of concept for a cold boot attack on BitLocker, so I guess it's still not so secure. But unless you've got some crazy blackhat or a three letter agency after you, I'd argue you're probably not at risk ;)
Or maybe they realize that the 20th dog, who receives no bone and has to watch the other 19 enjoy theirs, might become angry and start causing problems. The 19 dogs, realizing that group performance and cohesion is far more important than 1/19th of their individual bones, all donate a small portion (1/19) of their own bones.

Conflict is adverted, and every dog continues to work together, as they all feel like participants in a mutually beneficial relationship between themselves as individuals, and the group as a whole.
Some of the Points are relevant (inequality, housing), one is subjective (shallow culture), one is relative (taxes), one is without proof (voting). And regarding the last, and this question is truely serious because I don't get it, what is it with the obsession about the First? Maybe I'm so used that everybody can voice opinion and a free press that I take it for granted, but still.

And free speech goes both ways, just saying.

Disclaimer: I'm not from the US, so some insight into how free speech is looked at in the US would really be appreciated.
It was never “do no evil”. It was “don’t be evil”. There is a rather important semantic difference. Regardless, that ethical stance still exists and informs decisions.

From a PR point of view Google has handled this whole privacy debacle very well. By keeping a very low profile on privacy, they’ve made sure Facebook takes the heat. Facebook’s horrendous management of the issue has also allowed Google to slide under the radar on the topic. Generally I think Page is doing the right thing by keeping a low public profile.
I've been following this since the tenth, and it's weird for sure.

One thing that stands out to me - based on comments from people who live in the area (and who I am confident actually do), the observatory is transitioning from being owned by the federal government to a university. They've gone through a significant staff reduction, and there was basically no one there to tell to leave. Further, while it's been reported that it's "closed to the public", I've seen cellphone video from people who have driven there and walked around. There are no roadblocks, no visible police or security presence... nothing. It's just abandoned.

In short, I'm not convinced this is being accurately reported.
It's not a form of putting words in your mouth, it's called misunderstanding, miscommunication or "talking past each other". I'm operating from my understanding of the word and you are operating from yours. It seems there is a difference between the two. I can't be putting words in your mouth if we're using the same word with different understandings of what it means.

I'd refuse to attend any meeting where the sole reason for my presence was for others to play politics. It's like the senators are wheeling out their prized horses for others to gawk at. It's ridiculous.
I don't know, if I were a billionaire with a private island in the Caribbean, had paralyzed vocal cords and knew damn well what would happen at the hearing (see Zuckerberg), I'd also agree with my colleagues that showing up would do no good and that staying on the sidelines would be the best course of action. Why indulge a bunch of bloodthirsty politicians when you can do pretty much anything else please like working on things you love. Bonus: stock won't tank if you slip up and say the wrong word.

Any average bike shop should be able to build a wheel from a hub, but you'll certainly also need the controller bits that allow you to actually switch the gear. Some OEM kits don't have those parts. You should probably also ask your favorite bike shop if they feel comfortable doing maintenance work on this piece (or ask yourself if you do).

I'd keep in mind that the rohloff speed hub is an amazing piece of technology, so it comes with a hefty price sticker. I'd question it's really worth it for the average bicycle person when a shimano alfine 11 gear hub costs barely a quarter.
Agreed. It feels like this is two separate stories really.

Maybe Larry Page is a recluse, an eccentric, a technical thinker, a background figure, or however you want to describe him. I can understand why someone who started out writing a search engine in their garage might not be the type who feels comfortable doing public speaking in front of the Senate.

But we should disconnect the man from the company. Google certainly does need to be held to account, and does need to answer these questions, both to the public and to governments. At best, it's an organizational failure of Google to not allocate someone from upper management on this - it should really be Pichai, who is really the day-to-day boss at Google. At worst it's a deliberate act of the company to avoid questioning.

The attention shouldn't be directed at one man not showing up to answer questions, but the huge company who doesn't feel that it's necessary to send any of it's senior management to answer these questions.

Edit: Seems that Google did offer to send a senior legal executive, and the senate refused them. Point still stands that we need to separate the company from the man, but perhaps the senate is just as focused on the "big names" as the media.

That's a Daily Mail argument. The UK was a founder member of the Council of Europe in 1949, and the Euro Commission of HR looked heavily to the civil liberties traditions of the UK and others.

It is only the current crop of hard-Brexit Tories that have suddenly taken so against it. The previous 70 years, long before we even joined the EU or abolished hanging, managed to deal with criminals just fine without proposing leaving CoE

I doubt anyone who was aware of both expected leaving the EU would have any connection with the CoE and ECHR membership
It's kind-of Congress' own fault here. They so often have these... events, that are mostly for show and for the politicians to grandstand making them seem tough to voters but really have very little substance. I doubt any meaningful policy ever comes of them. Doesn't everybody know by now that they're grilling these CEO's in front of the cameras and begging them for money behind the cameras?

"outrage" indeed.
And how many people live in hurricane prone areas with no decent sized non-coastal towns within 100 miles?

They might want to consider buying something else. Or society might have to add more rapid charging stations and buses if shorter range electric cars become the norm.

Big coastal cities are already nearly impossible to evacuate by car on short notice, and they already have tens of thousands of people without cars.
I think it's the latter. Which makes constant politics just so much more important. And also democracies so fragile.
Larry Page made his first million by 25. I can't find info about when Sergey Brin made his first million, but probably not far off from that. They definitely count as young self-made millionaires.

What is it about React, that needs you to use a state management library? I have programmed in Servlets, JSP Model 2, ASP.NET, iOS, Android, Windows. None of these require a state management library. But React developers seem to think a state management library is a must-have. Is this a cultural thing? Is it due to some limitation of React?
Great article. I had been hunting down a similar issue in Java 8 with maven dependencies. I was getting the same error, but confirmed that the dependent jars were correctly included on the classpath. I eventually gave up and decided to take a different programming approach that did not include these missing classes, but I think I will revisit it to see if a class loader is getting closed somehow.
How do I know their personal Twitter, if they even have one? LinkedIn is specifically professional, so if I have a professional query for a stranger it seems like a much better venue then tracking down the person on Facebook or Twitter (assuming I even know who, specifically, I'm looking for, and can find them, on these other sites).
In short: yes.

Slightly longer version: Find a good bike shop to do it for you. The wheels on a bicycle are about the only truly challenging thing to work on (short of suspension components or the headset bearings that are pressed into the frame), and about the only things that you can irretrievably screw up. A shop that builds more than a couple wheels a year will probably do a better job than the average bike shop.

If you're curious about what building a wheel involves, a good resource is The Bicycle Wheel, by Jobst Brandt [0]. Mind you he still that the bottom spokes of a wheel are in compression (which is demonstrably false; see Mavic's linear pull spokes, which literally cannot be in compression or the wheel would fall apart). Sheldon Brown's website is useful too.

> Smaller and cheaper Androids are generally terrible

Completely agree.

Most of the smaller Android phones are in the value band so the specs leave a lot to be desired. I'm still switching between my Lumia 950 (5.2) and my OnePlus 2 (5.5). The OnePlus even at 5.5 feels like a bulky brick phone compared to the Lumia.

I've been on the hunt for a smaller Android, but have yet to find a smaller form factor with decent specs that beats my Lumia.
Well it depends how open people are to learn other languages.

More than once I had to speak English in the Flemish area in Belgium, because the person I was speaking to never bothered to keep their French up to date.

Likewise I happen to speak better French and German than some Swiss German and Romande friends of mine. It is ironic to watch them speak in English among themselves, which isn't an official national language.

So mindset matters as well.

Of course they only wanted the senior flesh.

I'm not trying to dunk on Congress too hard, but so much of their public hearings are about the spectacle of gov officials holding "someone" accountable.

And it's bipartisan too, the spectacle.

The Dems were looking to further the Russia election manipulation spectacle, and I'd guess Repubs were hoping to advance their narratives of "shadowbanning" and ideological search results bias.
Politicians reflect the masses, their level of knowledge, their morality, their greed.

The whole stick "people are fundamentally good but.. they vote for bad people" does not hold under scrutiny. They are sometimes good when it does not cost them anything to be god. But so are most politicians. If they would not lose votes or money if they did a good thing, they would be mostly good whenever they are not ignorant.

Larry Page is showing finger or irrelevancy towards American democracy and I think he does it not because he has antipathy, but because he thinks it's increasingly irrelevant. He can buy the Congress, he can even set up the public sentiment and opinion with Google when things turn serious.

I guess it would be different if this had happened more organically - like somebody started using "leader" & "follower" (which, incidentally, could just as easily be construed as offensive by somebody who was looking hard enough), and then somebody else followed suit until it became ubiquitous and everybody else adopted the terminology. It's the heavy-handed, "you must do as we say" that bothers us.

I don't really care for that metaphor, while it does make sense at a base level, I feel like it doesn't quite fit. A bicycle is (once constructed) entirely man powered - it only goes as well as we are able to power it.

The computer is more of a car for our minds - they run on electricity/gas, take minor low effort inputs from us, and transform them into massively larger outputs not due to simple mechanical laws, but because of a secondary source of impetus. There isn't that 1:1 input/output that a bike has.

The main issue is that React needs state passed around as props otherwise, which becomes unweieldy if you didn’t have a global state.

I believe it also makes debugging state issues easier if you have a single source of truth.

Edit: this is somewhat alleviated by the introduction of the React Context API[1], which provides some cleaner functionality but requires quite a few extra components in the render tree.

Ask HN: I have been offered a position as a Senior, but do not really qualify
I have been given a job offer as a "Senior Software Engineer" at a fairly well-known consultancy. It pays quite well and seems like a great offer.

The problem is, I don't really think I am a Senior. I would say that I am pretty solidly a mid-level Android app developer. I have about 2 years experience with app development (over a 4 year period, since I was also doing a lot of testing and had some parental leave in there. I was totally clear about this during the recruitment process).

From before that, I have about 2.5 years experience with some unrelated engineering (mostly matlab scripting, doing physics based modelling and simulations. While this is technically coding, it definitely did nothing to make me a good software engineer. I didn't even know what version control was until I started doing apps.)

I am worried they are going to give me responsibilities I am not really qualified for. I don't feel comfortable making big architecture decisions. I don't feel comfortable choosing the right technology for a new project. I am good at component implementation and write pretty clean code. I work well with others. On this cool matrix, http://sijinjoseph.com/programmer-competency-matrix/ I would say I am somewhere between Level 1 and 2 for most things. The only one I am Level 3 is probably "communication". I guess that liberal arts degree was good for something after all.

So, my question is, What do I do? Do I tell them, "Hey, it's cool you think I am a senior, but could you pay me a bit less and just call me a regular old software engineer?" This seems like the most honest thing to do, but might also result in the offer being withdrawn. Can you "fake it till you make it" in a senior role? This seems unlikely.

Thanks in advance for your insight.

Outside of the Bay Area (which accounts for maybe 18% of the population) they really don't. Check out [1] and sort the table by median household income. You have to go way down the list to get to a place outside the Bay. In fact, California is ranked 10th for household income by state [2], after Virginia. If you excluded the Bay Area bubble it would be much lower.
