Have any of the guilty pleas corresponded to a specific claim from Steele? My understanding is, few if any. For what remains of "almost entirely" the whole dossier, "corroborated" in your book seems to mean "not worth bringing before a court of law, even after 2+ years of highly empowered investigation".

The formal grammar structure behind smart assistants is basically the same. Siri is as primitive as Cortana, Google Now and Alexa, the difference comes in the amount of data the interfaces have access too. Outside of the text to speech and speech to text algorithms, there is barely any machine learning when it comes to understanding what the user says. As of it right now comparing smart assistants is equivalent to comparing dictionaries, Siri having less entries and people writing them than the others.

It's definitely not ideal, but it is less dangerous and close-to-the-wire than it sounds. It's actually separate from the migration to .com - which is something we haven't been great at communicating, and after talking it over yesterday, we're going to post something to clarify it a bit further. (Even working here, I was personally rather confused about it, and was running around yesterday chasing people down for answers.) The short of it as follows, though:

GitHub Services are going away. This is what .org relied on previously, and we are now mid process of getting everyone moved over to Webhooks instead. So, .org will rely on Webhooks instead.

In the meanwhile, we are still working on getting everyone migrated over to .com as well (which uses GitHub Apps), but that's unfortunately been a bit of a trickier beast than expected. We're still very much working on it, though. Hope that clears it up a bit!

EDIT: We are updating the docs to reflect this. :)

Why? What’s better, slaving away in a cubicle from 9 to 5 doing meaningless work so some corporate big wig can meet his bottom line and get a bonus... or watching your children grow up, spending all day playing with them, raising them, hanging out with other parents while kids play...

I thought this should be obvious, but it seems women want to be like men and suffer through the generally horribly competitive, generally meaningless, and often monotonous drab of having a “career” in some goal of chasing an ever higher number on a direct deposit every two weeks. Why? Why not have the obviously much more fun, relaxed life of being a stay at home mother and be there as your child grows into an adult and builds their own unique personality?

Haven’t there been lots of studies showing women’s self reported happiness declining in recent decades? Specifically those who pursue these cutthroat executive positions dominated by pyschopathic, aggressive men working 80 hour weeks? Why would anyone be jealous of this lifestyle?

How would the receiver know a packet was lost? If only one packet was sent, it cannot know, so you always need a retransmit timer at the sender as the ultimate backstop for reliability. Any other trigger of retransmissions is an optimization.

Now, why not a NACK rather than relying on duplicate ACKs? First, the NACK can get lost, so you'd probably want to trigger fast retransmit off of duplicate ACKs anyway for efficiency. But when should the receiver send a NACK? Given that packets can be reordered, likely you want to wait for a few subsequent packets to arrive before you send the NACK. In that time, you've been acking the arriving packets. So your NACK will arrive just after the sender has concluded the packet was lost from the arriving duplicate ACKs. At this point the NACK is serving no purpose.

Even if you wanted to change TCP and assume no packets were reordered, so send a NACK as soon as the packet after the missing one arrives, you'd still be ACKing the arriving packet (which due to TCP's cumulative ACK appears to the sender as a duplicate ACK). The sender could just as well retransmit after one duplicate ACK and get he same behaviour. In the end, sending a NACK doesn't really add anything.

Yes, it will show the top posts for last 8hrs. In 8hrs time any article that made it to front page of hn will be available.

When I want to catch up on the hn activity while I was asleep I will come to this.
The article is restrained in its conclusions, but it seems obvious - anecdotally - that it's causal. There is no cost of living adjustment for student loans. They don't cost less if you live in Indiana than if you live in Manhattan. Even income-based repayment only helps so much. If you really want your student loan payments to be a smaller proportion of your income, you need a higher-paying job.

As an example in my field, law school cost of attendance is approaching $100,000/year. People are graduating with almost a quarter million dollars in debt. That leaves almost no choice between a small town Midwestern law firm paying $40,000 indefinitely, and a Vault 100 firm paying $160,000 (or higher!) with guaranteed lockstep raises every year.

Sure. Some of those people would have competed for BIGLAW jobs before. But student loan debt is dispositive.

> Increased remote working or changing the core hours people work would both solve the issue of adults not being around during the day.

If you plan on spending you're remote working hours supervising children, your not really working. Working at night will not allow more time to supervise children during the day.

I'm not convinced the OP was suggesting that limiting women's rights was a solution, merely that increased female labor participation will result in less time spent with children.

> There are plenty of good solutions that would work well

I'm not sure there are many.

We've made progress in some areas, and regressed in others.

This is an issue about the amount of available time. Focusing more time in work will divert time from other activities. There is no other way of looking at it.

I don't know what Europe would look like without the EU. I'd say in the coming years the stability of it will be tested thoroughly. The countries that are calling the shots (namely France and Germany and their lapdogs) will be tested, too.
The EU is the successor to the EEC (1957) and ECSC (1951).
I mean, looking at the state of things I'd say it's more likely the US will be annexed by Russia before the EU goes away.
A possible way would be to use some less-personal taxes to fund a "minimal government", I don't know about the US, but here we have federal sales taxes and securities taxes etc. that could be used to provide minimal government services.
Then each year the government proposes a default budget allocation, i.e x% for department of whatever, and citizens could override this allocation if they wish to do so. I guess not everybody would overwrite it, they'd have to care a lot and inform themselves in detail about the intrinsics of the state. Those who wish to influence the budget could reallocate their individual tax contributions (income, wealth) to the department mix they'd like.

This would be self-regulating over the years, since if the government budgets according to past/anticipated budget allocation of the citizens (over/under fund specific departments). In a way that upsets people, it'd drive them to start doing their own reallocation. And if you'd end up at extreme allocation distributions i.e 95% unpopular department for those who follow the proposed allocation. Then maybe something is wrong with that department or the government, so the problem can be solved easily.

> What happened to just going to a decent middle class job, doing your work, then going home and living your own life?

I don't think that job exists any more. Or if it does, there are fewer and fewer of them out there.

I have a reasonably well-paid, low-stress developer job working on a product I believe adds value. But I don't get to go home and just switch off: I get emails at all hours of the day and night, and if the service goes down at 4 am (which has never happened yet) then I need to deal with it.

I'm not sure there are many jobs that pay middle class wages but only require 9-5/M-F levels of responsibility.

I have mixed feeling on that. In the UK I understand that the repayment of the student loan is conditional to resources. Then I think it’s not too bad as effectively you end up paying for the studies you get the benefit from, rather than making others pay for your studies. And if you don’t get the benefit, then the cost becomes socialised.

But on the other hand the people who have to make these decisions are 17 or 18 year old kids. Some of these kids will be impressively mature, most will not. Then it becomes a function of how well their parents know their way around the system and high tuition fees create a big hurdle. Then you get social selection and it’s counterproductive.

Is student debt the culprit? Or is it just the greater trend of urbanization that has been happening for literally centuries? I'm not using the word literally as a means of emphasis here, the globe has on average been becoming more urban since the agricultural revolution.

Overall, population centers are more economically productive. You have more people collected in a smaller space, so workers and industries can cooperate more effectively. Countries' levels of urbanization have and, to varying degrees, continue to have a strong correlation with their level of wealth. You have more goods and services available within a smaller area. Workers have more job opportunities.

Urbanization also has good environmental effects. It makes cleaner modes of transport, like trains and subways, much more feasible. Power and water has to travel a smaller distance (except for when people put cities in dumb locations with regards to water distribution, like LA). Dense countries tend to have a smaller carbon footprint compared to more rural countries with the same standards of living.

Basically, there's a lot to be gained by populations shifting from rural areas to the city. I'm not so sure why many are so eager to lament a shrinking rural population.
