>(From what little I know, I've read his team focused on getting electoral votes while Hillary's team focused on some fancy data science strategy that ignored important districts. But, everyone else keeps saying it was fake news and Russian covert ops.

All of that is likely true, but to what degree is a matter of debate.

It does seem to be true that the Democrats tried to play it safe with Clinton and that she failed to connect with the same demographics that other Democratic candidates, or Trump, succeeded with.

It also seems to be true that there was some effort on the part of the Trump campaign (with or without his knowledge) to engage with Russian "covert ops" and that these efforts were at least somewhat successful, given the admission on the part of the DNC that the damage caused by Wikileaks was too great to overcome. Connect the dots between Wikileaks, Russia and Trump wherever you like... no one here can offer anything but conjecture on the matter.

I think a lot of it has to do with the simple fact that out of the entirety of the Democratic and Republican fields, Trump alone was the most charismatic and showmanlike and was most able to entertain and capture media attention. Modern elections are more about hype and the news cycle than competence and intellect. Clinton found herself a magnet for the disillusionment and impotent rage for which Trump provided catharsis and, in a close election, that was enough for him to squeak by.

I know we deprecated the prediction API with a year's warning while bringing out Cloud ML Engine. And Cloud SQL changed a bit when the second generation came in and supported MySQL, PostgreSQL and more.

Can't think of others off the top of my head, so that is two if we want to consider major upgrades "abandoned." Perception often doesn't match objective fact.

I think it's a bit more nuanced then that. If you dig into this case a bit it seems pretty likely that this Scott guy "worked" for Dixon in some capacity and even if Dixon didn't pull the trigger he provided the weapon and was at the scene of the crime when it happened. I think the most likely explanation is that this killing was directly related to him being a drug dealer and him having one of his gang members kill someone else. Like doesn't it seem a bit odd that this other guy was so willing to take the fall? Sounds like a lackey trying to protect his boss.

Just saying, I don't think that was just an excuse. I think they had good reason to believe this guy was a bit of a low level crime boss/gang leader and they decided it'd be better to put him away even if he didn't technically pull the trigger. Yea it's an abuse of the justice system in a lot of ways and I don't condone it, but I don't think it's as easy as saying the DA just wanted to randomly pin the murder on someone else.
"But despite Mr Dixon's exoneration, prosecutors say he did provide the murder weapon, which they described as a machine gun.They also said he was an 'up-and-coming drug dealer' in Buffalo at the time of his arrest."

Welp.

I agree that it's a big problem, and there were some egregious errors by both the prosecution and defense in this case, most notably that someone had been confessing to it for years to no avail.

That said, Dixon didn't make for a very sympathetic defendant; he brought the gun used in the murder to the scene, he was a known drug dealer, he was involved in a dispute with the victim, etc. It's not hard to see how he got convicted. He very likely would have been convicted of accessory to murder or other felonies.

Our justice system has major problems, and it's good that this wrong has been partially righted, but this isn't a case that I'd hold up as a prime example of injustice.

Octopus intelligence is essentially one of the multipliera for the drake equation for estimating the probability/ubiquity of intelligent ET life.

We have (as far as we know) one instance of life "seeding," many instances of complex life evolving. Several examples of quasi-intelligent species like dogs, apes, raven and octopi. Only one example of human-level intelligence.

The further they are from us/eachother in the evolutionary tree, the more likely they are to evolve independently regardless of early complex life's evolutionary choices. Octopi are way farther from us than birds are.

Fun stuff!

Who do you think is selling on the resale marketplaces? The nice name is broker, but multiple people here, and the article these comments are on, use the term scalper. The vast majority of inventory resold by people that purchased with the intent to resell is sold on Stubhub, TM+, or Vivid Seats. The majority of inventory on those platforms is from brokers. Who bothers buying direct from an individual anymore?

The article in question is actually about scalpers (brokers) using Ticketmaster's resale platform (TM+) and Point of Sale for managing inventory (Tradedesk).

Circumstantial evidence is a valid basis for conviction. You’re leaving out a few key details: http://jimfishertruecrime.blogspot.com/2012/12/did-jeffrey-p...

1) Jeffrey had motive. His mother had been abusing him for years.

2) Jeffrey was the last person to see his mother alive. The crime scene evidence also pointed to an “insider” who would’ve felt comfortable sticking around to clean up the crime scene (blood was found in the sink, there was no blood in exit paths).

3) Jeffrey had blisters on his hands consistent with weilding a bludgeoning weapon.

4) Jeffrey’s alibi was that he had been planting flowers at his teacher’s house. But the teacher testified that he had done that four days before.

The second degree murder charge was proper. If the jury believed he killed his mothef because of the abuse, first degree murder might not stick. Second degree, “heat of the moment/emotional disturbance” murder would be the correct charge.

You don’t go there to eat your favorite food, but to taste something that only that chef can concoct. Obviously you actively chose to go there in the first place, but that’s it.

In an episode of 'Only fools and horses', a British TV show, the family is about to move to Australia for a better life. But, at the last minute, their plans are derailed because Rodney's visa is denied, due to an old drug conviction (IIRC smoking, not selling).

This man is planning to go to Australia to visit his wife, but the article says he has a past conviction for selling drugs. I wonder whether this will affect his ability to visit.

I don't know how accurate the description of the murder conviction is, but the list of shortcomings sounds like it's out of the plot of a TV show. It's amazing that this happens in real life.

It could be the way it's presented too. What does "headless Chrome as a service" even mean?

When I look at the Github link, I actually understand what it does: "Severless Chrome on your own infrastructure. Each session gets its own clean Chrome context for total isolation. After the session is complete Chrome is shutdown. You can also think of it like a database connection where your app connects to browserless, runs some work, and gets results back."

Nah, I get it and think it's good for Cloudflare customers over what happens today. My comment was a bit of scattershooting admittedly, so I can clarify this point.

> If you already have an onion for your service then you are already not using Cloudflare.

To clarify my point, what I mean is I might have "kodablahforum.com" running behind Cloudflare but I might, as a convenience for my users, offer my service behind an onion service unrelated to Cloudflare. I am saying, if the service offers that option, it can be seen as a bit more secure (if you don't mind the unwieldiness of the onion service address) to access that instead of the regular domain that hits Cloudflare via an exit and then routes all traffic through Cloudflare onion services.

Again, in general, I agree this is a complete improvement for non-onion-service using Tor browser users of Cloudflare customer sites. And I think it's a good pattern for sites/hosts/CDNs to follow (i.e. onions as HTTP alt services) in the current absence of acceptably secure/decentralized DNS for onion services. But direct onion service access hosted by the endpoint is always preferred over a middleman if it is an option.

> You're talking about the server/admin end.

I'm talking about all aspects of it. But you shouldn't dismiss the server / admin end either because if security is too difficult to set up then you can bet a lot of people will set it up incorrectly thus leaving end users vulnerable.

> For users,a properly configured https site shouldn't cause any trouble.

Most users cannot tell if a HTTPS site is properly configured though. And as I mentioned in my previous post, many users have been trained into complatency with ignoring certificate errors due to the widespread use of self signed certs and how browsers will display the same styled error message for that as it would for arguably more serious SSL errors.

> Even on servers,I'd say it's always been fairly successful if you consider the successful setups.

"Successful" in the sense that we have a secure method of transmitting HTTP traffic. However I question whether it's successful with regards to the "user friendly" point you're trying to make when you consider that great many servers were not and still are not correctly set up (eg running insecure TLS cithers, supporting SSL 3, etc). Given my PCI DSS training as well as working with the gambling commission, I've spent a lot of time analysing network traffic and you'd be surprised just how much out there isn't following best practices. Even more worrying is a great number of devices (eg computers, smart phones, network devices, etc) don't even support what should be the minimum security requirements like TLS 1.2.
>Especially the Windows port seemed rather prone to corruption.

Quite the opposite of my perception.

I started with git. Then I got a job and for a while I worked only in Windows. At the time, I looked into git for Windows, and while everyone said it was stable, everyone also said that it was unofficial - the Git development team had stated clearly they were not interested in maintaining a Windows version.

I didn't want to be in the position to justify an unofficial tool to my employer, so I looked at Mercurial - Windows support has been in there since the first day. So I switched to Mercurial. In almost a decade of using it on Windows, I have never had any problems.

Mercurial is great - I've never come across a use case where git is clearly better.
Yes. Spin UP and DOWN are so "far" from each other that detector that can tell them apart reshapes the probability so much that from that point on this detector will always register UP.

Think about location. If you send electron through half-mirror and put a screen behind it and see electron hitting the screen then you cut down your wave function to at most half of the size. You'll never see this photon in front of the mirror because that small interaction with the screen narrowed down the possibilities.

You'll say that after it hit the screen it must go on in straight line and will hit any subsequent screen as if it was small ball just flying through space and screens.

But imagine instead of the screen just a detector made from solenoid that will notice passing electron but not exactly where it is. This way location is still uncertain. Probability wave is not that narrow. The only thing your detection did is reshaping the wave so you no longer have any possibility of finding electron in front of a mirror.

My point is that there's no difference in math between moving ball hitting things on the way and probability wave evolving in space time and exchanging momentum and energy with other waves and getting reshaped during these exchanges.

We know equations that govern this evolution, we know what rules the exchanges obey and how the waves change shape when they interact.

So why even have little balls cluttering our imagination if they are not needed to explain anything?
PRs are related to MRs (Merge Requests), howver MRs have some additional features. Here you can read more about it https://about.gitlab.com/comparison/gitlab-merge-request-vs-...
I work a lot with repos with very long line lengths (regularly up to 10k characters) and have to often check and merge multiple changes per line. I really like Git clients that can do one or all of these things:

- Block a small threshold of vertical scrolling when scrolling horizontally on a trackpad to stop the current line I‘m tracking wavering up and down as I scroll.

- Highlight whether there are further changes on the same line in some way (e.g. Git Fork starts a highlight at the first change and stops it at the last).

- Allow some sort of merge comparison with word wrapping turned on (I‘m yet to find a client that does this).

If you can get the first, and one of the second or third in, then I‘ll happily pick up a Sublime Merge licence to go with my Sublime Text one. I do understand that this isn‘t a typical merge environment, but I’m editing ebooks with long paragraphs.
