Good.

GCHQ are not there to protect the interestes of British citizens, they are there to enforce the status quo of the ruling class and engage in economic espionage.

So many of there operations are counter to democratic principles, I'd prefer them underfunded and ineffective than funded and potent.

The media one is a really interesting point. I did not consider that but makes sense.
I've talked to some people who I think are smart, in tech and finance, about why they like Trump (two of which also love Thiel, and I myself think Peter Thiel is underrated). If you sincerely want to understand where they are coming from, I have some reading for you.

One of them gave me this article: https://www.claremont.org/crb/basicpage/the-flight-93-electi...

Another penned this one recently: https://sovereignexceptions.wordpress.com/2018/10/22/team-tr...

None of my acquaintances in tech are public about supporting Trump. Finance is a bit different. And this is not at all true of my blue-collar friends (also note I live in New Hampshire, not SV). Unfortunately I find it is getting harder to talk politics, at all, with my very liberal friends. And it is very easy to discuss (and even disagree) with my conservative friends.

Demonstrating kindness, in scenarios like this, boils down to having options. And having options, boils down to you personally making sure you have options. The answers to these questions will depend on how kind you're going to be.

Looks to me like some people spent some money. Some other people's money demands results. The current state of things is a real mess, and there's pressure to start going live and getting returns and doing all that other good stuff.

It also appears extremely likely that none of that's going to happen as it needs to.

Someone is going to own these problems. You could inadvertently end up owning these problems. There's not going to be a way to be kind about that. So take a step back assess this, and be a hundred percent real with everyone, and maybe do it simultaneously so they all know, and manipulation is reduced to a low Factor.

Good luck.

Currently I am using MeWe which is not federated etc. but is close enough to G+ (also, most of the communities I was following on G+ are there).

As expected, "normal people" who were apathetically following me on G+ like friends etc. (I refuse to use FB) have bern less than thrilled.

The disclaimer at the beginning of the article, and the tone of the article itself, reveal how religious — as opposed to evidence-based — the helmet issue is. People who advocate them firmly believe themselves to be on the side of righteousness, no matter what the numbers might say.

I'm reminded of suburbanites who think that safety is assured by keeping pedestrians out of their neighbourhoods, when it fact it's the exact opposite: every pedestrian is another set of eyes that criminals don't want to be seen by. But facts and figured can't persuade when emotion rules.

Morality and logistics. The major nuclear powers have implemented a relatively successful program to make it very difficult for a non-nuclear power to develop nuclear weapons.

There is simply no way to use logistics to curtail AI drones in the same manner as nuclear weapons; all that is needed to make a drone is a 3d printer, common industrial components and software.

That's what happens when you treat "libertarianism" as the immutable word of God. Doesn't translate to the way human society works.

It was shocking to me too that adding prior of human games limited the potential that the go playing computer could have.
I was definitely hesitant when I first heard about this. After working in a codebase that uses CSS utilities, I gotta say, this is awesome!!

Enforces style, kills duplication, speeds up development. Ahh the benefits are huge!

Not really sure I agree with any of that. Flickr was one of the first movers, so it got a lot of traction and community because of the time and place it was created in. Not just because it was free.

Flickr to me was best when there were pretty tight upload limits, so the early days were by no means 'unlimited'. And I think there were limits even then to how many photos you could see as a free account. That goes back a long way now but I was around back then and the groups were pretty vibrant and people actually discussed things.

If anything, the groups went to shit as more and more uninvested people piled in dumping more and more photos just to chase likes - mostly thanks to limits being relaxed.

I think it got even worse with the redesign and the 1TB limit. Especially as the new Pro accounts were limited too! That was nuts. At least that's what I remember and why I left. Seems now unlimited is actually unlimited again.

Thankfully Instagram can now fulfil that need and hopefully putting up a barrier to entry will cut out the hoards who aren't interested in the community.
I don't understand the hype around RISC-V. The single most important bottleneck in general Computing nowadays is memory latency. However code density of RISC-V is absolutely underwhelming and does not even beat ARM-Thumb which is literally decades old.

If it has to be RISC and open why not using something that already has an existing infrastructure and is well established. E.g. Fully open source implementations of the SPARC architecture exist for a long time already.
Other than emails, no logs. The original request was to help them a few hours a week, but now it snowballed into full on bug fixing.

I suggested they block the non working parts and go live with the working ones, remove fluff. They reluctantly agreed.

I'm not worried about money. I'm more interested in getting out on good terms and moving on.
How do you measure "getting a lot more done than past presidents"?
We're back to filling in style attributes on each tag, aren't we?
There are two separate trends with the direction that the industry is going. One trend is moving faster than the other.

Windows -> Linux: Using Windows on the server is a dead end. Every time I have to use anything Windows based, especially in the cloud, it's a double hit -- the same compute resources cost more because of licensing and you need more resources to run Windows. I can't imagine why anyone starting a project today would tie themselves to Windows. Even if you like Windows and .Net as a development platform (I do), it makes no sense to deploy to Windows if you don't have to.

.Net Core -> Javascript Everywhere. I hate the trend as much as anyone, but, I don't see .Net Core getting much adoption for greenfield projects unless their developers are already .Net users. Even the more career driven .Net developers are moving toward Node for resume reasons.

Out of the two, it's career suicide to focus solely on Windows. .Net Core has a longer shelf life and you can remain marketable if you know .Net (Core/Framework) + Windows and Linux
There would need to be some compelling opposition first. Most of the mooted plausible candidates have gawdawful fatal flaws.
If you try to measure Trump by some conventional, objective-reality based means, he's probably the worst president America's ever had.

Do you have an example of such a metric, or are you also talking out of your ass?

After doing a project with this I think Tailwind is great! There is no need to choose either BEM or Tailwind, they can co-exist in the same project and they both makes a lot of sense (for different use cases). Typically, I’ll start with tailwind classes and extract simple tailwind components when those classes start to repeat. If the component is clearly reusable and has enough complexity, I’d switch to BEM.
Seems like they've also hacked brusselstimes.com, the page won't open...
It's time for new package management.

One that isn't snapshot images (docker, bundled java/ruby/libraries)

One that takes testing and integration seriously

One that takes security seriously

One that uses c-groups like they were intended

One that allows multiple versions

There are a lot of things that could come together for a new style and generation of package manager, but to do it right you would have to manage a whole lot of things
> Blockchain is also the driving force behind cryptocurrencies, allowing Bitcoin owners to purchase drugs on the internet without the hassle of showing their identity. So, if that sounds like you, then yes, you should consider using blockchain.

Oh my, this is soo opinionated and short sighted, it starts with complete rubbish, pointless read I guess.
Fine by me. The faster we can get everyone off of .NET Framework, the better.
I used to be a full time developer at a company where we only shipped new features. At some point, I wanted to go remote and part time. I've asked them if they'd be down if I worked in the shadows refactoring shitty code and replacing crappy modules. Which is what I'm doing right now.

For them, they pay me a fraction of a developer's price and get a constant improvement of the codebase.

For me, I work at my own pace, remote and part time. I live in a place where I don't need much money.

It's awesome.

The hype around "you don't need a blockchain" is reaching a fever pitch as well. Those who read HN are likely aware of the differences and viable usecases.

There are a few good points made, many business scenarios would be fine with a centralized database.

However, the content is highly opinionated and shows a lack of understanding regarding to crypto transactions and block generation, for example.

> many cryptocurrencies rely on trusted third parties to handle payouts. So, they use blockchain to generate coins, but don’t use blockchain to handle payouts. Because of the issues involved around trust. Let that sink in for a moment.]

Agreed. Having both around is a nightmare, I still can't believe they ever did it this way.
If it's private companies and not governments in a different city in a different country on the other side of the world it's not terribly relevant.
Gardens are fine, integrating nature is fine, and not incompatible with high density / concrete.

The issue is the wastefulness and carbon emissions of sprawl, fuel, etc. that are common in less-dense areas. A return to the old-days isn't necessarily good, is all I'm saying... Burning wood for example is worse for the environment than coal or gas. We got away with it in olden times because there were so few people.
Of course I can't say there are NONE, but seriously, it's a really lacking area. I've been on and off building one for a while but never seem to find a willing designer partner (since I can't create pretty stuff, just build it).

Good luck finding one though, I hope I'll be able to help you soon.
It is a simple matter of programming!
I think the misconception is on your side here.
For the longest time, conservatives said that climate change was a hoax, then that it might be happening but it's no big deal, then now it seems the position is that it may be a big deal but it's a natural process and humans shouldn't try to solve it.
>As if a computer that continues running when its communication link goes down is an accomplishment?

These days? Compared to the typical case? Yes!

There was the story of Chrome (IIRC) crashing when it lost internet access. (Yes, it should be unable to access websites, but it shouldn't crash.)

JIRA will stutter on text input if its AJAX API calls fail or are too heavy.

I've seen developers set up a local mode of an app that somehow sneaks in an internet dependency.

Not even going to review Electron.

Similar overcoupling in the recent story about Google "no longer supporting login" if you're not running JavaScript.

So yeah, it shouldn't merit praise, but a lot of systems fail even at that.
Skype for Business is going away too. As soon as we moved to Teams I stopped opening my SfB client completely.

> His favorability ratings are comparable to Obama's, Clinton's and Reagan's at this point in their presidency

They are comparable to Reagan’s, if you look at bare approval, but, as a 2.5+ percentage point difference is pretty significant in approval, less so to Clinton or Obama.

But bare approval is not really a good guide (net approval and bare disapproval are better.) While 538 posts Trump approval/disapproval/net, the default comparators is bare approval. But if you click over to compare disapproval or net approval, Trump is clearly in a significantly worse position than any of the past Presidents listed (including Reagan, despite bare approval being nearly identical.) Majority disapproval at a comparable point is unprecedented, as is greater than 10 points net disapproval.
It really depends on who you ask. Stereotypical democrats nowadays primarily measure racial and gender inequality primarily, with economics and wealth inequality coming second and rural incomes and quality of life coming far behind. Stereotypical republicans primarily measure GDP, economic freedom, and total power of the country.

Politicans like Sanders and Trump are rising because they focus more on issues like income inequality and declining quality of life for the lower and middle classes. Both address globalization and labor leverage, though they address it differently. While they are culturally diametrically opposed, they are still remaining popular because they are addressing these issues that other politicans don't address, seemingly because big money has caused them to ignore those issues.
I wish they would open source Winforms and/or WPF, both technologies could do with some love.
Here's a funny module I wrote that lets you very easily configure your NixOS server to serve simple CGI scripts over HTTP, useful for simple web hooks and such.

https://github.com/lessrest/restless-cgi

It's an example of something Nix is great for: making reusable system modules that involve systemd units, program dependencies, auto-generated configuration files, and so on, all in a very reproducible and hygienic way.
Uber Self-Driving Safety Report
It's not, but for dumb reasons.

Peer to peer connections on web browsers are pretty good (assuming you have relays to get around router issues with shared IP addresses). And Javascript is generally fast enough for encryption (although I'm not sure what the random number generator situation is).

But we lack the ability to easily guarantee file contents, which makes delivering encryption software more suspect. Additionally, data storage is still very unreliable. It is difficult to share information seamlessly between multiple browsers without a server, storage limits vary between browsers, data can get deleted for weird reasons. I've advocated for a while that users probably should be able to grant pages separate read/write access to specific files and folders on disk, but that's obviously a tricky decision to make and implement.

The Same Origin Policy obviously comes with security benefits. But it also means that if you share a 3rd party link, there's no way to look up metadata about the link without a proxy server to bypass the policy. Building something like an RSS reader in purely clientside Javascript is impossible because you literally won't be able to request many of the RSS feeds.

It can be a little bit surprising when you dig into all of the theoretical stuff that's possible with clientside Javascript to discover exactly what the areas are where the web is behind native. They're usually not the parts that get the most attention.

STEM or skilled trades. I'm not saving money every month for my kids college 529 plans so that it can be spent to send them to a $100,000 political re-education camp for 4 years.

The word is out about the humanities in US Universities. They are a melting pot of resentful people who actively restrict free speech/thought while pushing an awful mix of proven bad ideas.
This page reads like an open-source software project manual, not a social network. Far far far too many words for what they are trying to accomplish.
One of the side effects of the corporatization of modern universities is that pretty much every scientific finding is accompanied by a PR fluff piece and scientific journalists usually just recycle aforementioned fluff piece. :/

MI6 officer Richard Tomlinson[1], wrote a tell-all autobiography in which he described an HR relationship between the city banks and MI6 whereby officers were 'retired' into city jobs with few questions about the gaps in their CVs. In return the bankers were given some intelligence tidbits as quid pro quo.

I should point out his departure from MI6 was acrimonious, so he's not an entirely neutral source, but interesting nonetheless.

Elon Musk: The Recode interview
One reason IIRC is that the daily physical cycle for most people shortens as we get older.

Another thing is that the travel times to get to school is quite long in suburban/rural locations. I remember one job I had that had a long commute and I would see kids waiting for the school bus at 7 AM.

Contrast that with my high school, that was a 15 minute walk and didn't start till 8:15. Much less stressful.

This is false. I personally know academics who study genocide who do serious research on the Holocaust in Europe.

It's just that these people are dingbats who have decided ahead of time to deny the Holocaust and desperately search for any shred of broken evidence for this claim.
