> They've been used to violate our rights for decades now.

Which rights would those be? The obvious "right", the 5th Amendment, only applies to self-incrimination. The government has the power (AND SHOULD use that power) to compel witnesses to testify about crimes they know about.

If you are a witness, you have a duty to testify what you know. In this particular case, Manning has full immunity, so she can't harm herself with any statement (thereby protecting her 5th Amendment rights).

The less obvious right: 1st Amendment, is somewhat broken. But its necessary for Grand Juries to work at all. The entire case cannot be officially filed until the Grand Jury says there's enough evidence for a Trial to begin. To protect the innocent, the details of Grand Jury proceedings are kept secret (if the Grand Jury torpedoes the case, the case will remain a secret forever and no one will even know what the Government was accusing anyone about).

In essence: Grand Juries protect the innocent from false court cases from the US Government. That protection only works if all involved in a Grand Jury is sworn to secrecy.

EDIT: Through other discussion, it seems like Manning is 1st, claiming 4th (search-and-seizure) and 6th Amendment rights (speedy trial), none of which make sense to me at all. Manning isn't at trial here, she's being held in contempt for refusing to testify. That's very standard.
I feel anti-vaxxers deserve a new Darwin Award by Proxy category...
I watched the re-entry and recovery this morning and was just as impressed with this as I am in awe of the import of being able to do this by a company.

Think about this for a moment, SpaceX is on the verge of having a capsule that they can send into orbit for days and then return to Earth. The same company has rockets capable of putting tons of material into every orbit level (Low, mid, and geo-stationary). The same company is nearing completion of their own launch facility in Texas.

Put all those things together and SpaceX can do space 'tourism' with a design parameter of "Go up into orbit, spend the day doing micro-gravity kinds of things, and then come back for BBQ." They have the capability to launch one of Bigelow's inflatable habitats and leave it up there as a rendezvous target for Dragon in an orbit that could support monthly launch windows. Using a launch facility where they control the scheduling so none of the wrangling with a dozen different groups every time they fly. That is a mind boggling capability for a company to have today.

How to Hide an Empire
This demonstrates a profound ignorance of the role of grand juries in the legal system. A grand jury is used to determine of there are sufficient facts for the state to make an indictment and therefore to protect the accused they are _always_ secret. They are not used to prosecute people, they are used as a filter to prevent unwarranted prosecution.

Looking at https://spec.commonmark.org/ , it does seem it has stalled. They'll need to put in another gear if they're ever going to reach 1.0 (if that's a goal..?).
I'm sorry, I don't see the difference.

If Macy's sells a third party product (say, a piece of cookware) and sees it doing well, then makes and sells a copy of it they don't seem to have taken more risk than Amazon.

It also feels pretty similar to what fashion designers have accused department stores of doing for decades: letting them take the risk, then "following fast" (or stealing designs, depending on your perspective) when something turns out to be popular.

Using actual electronic tokens is impractical due to the costs. Even assuming just $1/each we're talking conservatively almost half a billion dollars (inc. shipping), and the upkeep would be similarly high.

The proposal above 1:1 replaces the system we have and are already paying for while solving most of the major weaknesses.

Multiple smartcard-like systems have failed spectacularly in other countries, a SecurID-like token would suffer from many of the same issues.

Whenever they limit the number of characters to something small, it makes me wonder if they are storing the password in their database rather than some hash of the password.

I complained about this to my old bank (Wells Fargo) and they told me not to worry about it because I'm protected from fraud.
They didn't really say that, though. I couldn't help but notice that Zuckerberg's essay didn't even mention, let alone address, some of the largest privacy problems with Facebook at all.
A further improvement would be to switch your CommonJS-style imports and exports out for ES6 notation. This allows for more native interoperability, and works fine with Webpack.

export const Constants = { version: '1.0.0' };

// in another file
import { Constants } from './Constants.js';
How would this be applied? I feel like nearly every grocery store chain in the USA has it's own brand competing with same 3rd party brands they carry. Whole Foods had "360", Walgreens has "Nice". It's been too long since I've been to a Safeway, a Lucky's, a Ralph's, etc but it became pretty clear that each one had it's own brand. And let's not forget Trader Joe's which is almost 90% all it's own brand.
I think they do. If I found out someone loved those good things I would care about them more than if they thought good things were worthless.

This is simply false.

We've got millions of people in an experimental group - those who regularly get their flu shots. We've got millions in a control - those who don't.

If the flu shot were impacting health negatively, we'd know by now. The first flu shots were given as far back as WWII.
If you find that you have time, I'm also curious.
>>In practice, this still hurts consumers.

I Don't agree with this view. It surely has the potential to hurt the consumers in the future but IF and WHEN it does consumer impact at that time can be used to fight it (break up etc). No need to actually hurt the consumer NOW for the fear that they might be hurt in the future.
For the record I said coordination. My comment about affiliation was purely a comment on the fact that you just don't know what the future might hold.
The president of the United States has the authority to clear anyone he wants to clear. That's settled law and has been for decades. The vast majority of the Obama staff could never have qualified for clearances otherwise, but were given them anyway -- where's the outrage there?
My guess is that he didn't start Tesla with the idea of using it as a (possible) cash cow for SpaceX. It was, as you said, to help humanity scale and survive.

What follows is definitely a bit more 'out there' than usual, and I don't hold strongly to it.

As Mr. Mush has gotten older, I suspect that his internal calculations related to the possibility of the collapse of human civilization have gone up enormously. Specifically, and he's said this multiple times, he thinks AI is the number one threat to human civilization, followed very closely by climate change. (Note: this isn't terminator style AI. It's software/hardware that is smarter than any human, or indeed all humans put together, but in the hands of very few people.)

My guess is that these have changed his perspective on the relative importance of SpaceX and Tesla in the greater scheme of things.

Can we please kill this myth already? That was extraordinary so during the era when social changes swept through society, but someone who spent their formative years during the 70s will hardly regard today's society anything else than an extension of the changes which took place then.

There are many different ways to act conservatively. Resistance to new ideas because "but we've always done it this way" is a lot more common with people whose definition of "always" stretches to five (maybe ten) years.

> Electron anyone?

Well, let's put it this way: Most ideas are bad. But you can't dismiss all ideas on that statistical ground, because then you would miss the really good ones.
I first read about this on Boing Boing[1], which said Manning believes that "since testimony before grand juries is secret, grand juries can create fear by suggesting that some members of a political community may be secretly cooperating with the government. In this way, grand juries can seed suspicion and fear in activist communities."

I'm not sure how not being in a grand jury absolves activists from suspicions of secretly cooperating with the government, because one doesn't need to be in a grand jury to secretly cooperate with the government. In fact, if secrecy in cooperation was paramount, then participating in a grand jury would seem to be counterproductive to maintaining such secrecy.

Later, the article states:

"By serving Chelsea Manning with a grand jury subpoena, the government is attempting once again to punish an outspoken whistleblower for her historic disclosures. We stand with Chelsea in support of her refusal to participate in this repressive and undemocratic process.

"Grand juries are notoriously mired in secrecy, and have historically been used to silence and retaliate against political activists. The indiscriminate nature of grand juries means the government can attempt to artificially coerce a witness into perjury or contempt. Chelsea gave voluminous testimony during her court martial. She has stood by the truth of her prior statements, and there is no legitimate purpose to having her rehash them before a hostile grand jury."

If Manning is willing to testify truthfully and publicly on the subject, then I'm not sure how participating in a grand jury would expose her to either perjury or contempt. It's only if she lied or refused to testify that she could be charged with perjury or contempt, right? But she's not refusing to testify altogether and is not saying she's going to lie, so where does the purjury and contempt worry come from?

Finally, why does the statement refer to a "hostile grand jury"? How is a grand jury hostile?

Depending on the context yes.

If your bank has some COBOL systems running to keep accounts up to date, do you really want some team of pinheads to 'fix it' by porting it to python?
> Or maybe he shrugged his shoulders because a foreign intelligence agent got killed by a foreign intelligence agency in a foreign country?

For the longest time Trump refused to even consider that Saudi Arabia was responsible for the killing, so that's a stretch.

> Surely Trump, with U.S. and allied intelligence at his disposal, must have been made aware of Khashoggi's true nature.

Trump famously discounts the conclusions of our intelligence agencies and can't pay attention to the presidential daily briefing unless his name is included in big bold letters. I think it's a stretch to say that if our intelligence agencies know one thing then it's a given Trump knows it (and believes it) as well.

The permission would need to ask for "your data on go" rather than "your data on golinks.io". I'm not certain that the "your data on golinks.io" would cover it but I think it would.

IMO this permission is something that Chrome should explore, along with other fine-grained permissions. It might be worth making a bug report to Chromium so you can link it when people ask why you ask for such broad permissions. I think the bug report should probably mention that Google uses go links :)
Before we can postulate a realistic generalized conclusion, we need a sample size larger than 1. Right now the scientific, rational position on Fermi's paradox is that outside of Earth the universe is completely devoid of life.
That would just mean its a zombie company that's going down sooner or later. If making it public makes it fail quicker, that is good thing. Keeping it out of the light and pretending its a good company just prolongs the inevitable.
You're attaching a very unreasonable interpretation to the term "talk back". It's not a pure desire to be rude to people; it's about being able to voice contrary opinions, without fear of unfair retribution and if necessary, without being constrained by political correctness or a corporate culture that demands obeisance. No employee should ever have to fear getting fired for speaking up about something that seems illegal, dangerous, or just plain stupid.
I liked the part in Elysium where they had a magical science machine on another planet that they could use to heal anything, but they only used it for rich white people because they're evil.

I also liked that the machine must have run on sunshine and gumdrops and cost $0 to use because of course that is how health care works, we definitely have the means to heal every person on the planet, the only thing preventing us from doing so is evil white people.
The reason that I never used Google+ was that, like Hangouts, I could never get it to work acceptably well on a technical level.
This is quite a coincidence. After many years of hearing the term "apologist" used exclusively as an insult, just today I looked into the etymology and found that its dictionary definition has no explicitly negative connotation.

But of course, usage in practice is what defines words. The dictionary catches up later.
Not the issue. It isn't that you owe better to the author; it's that you owe better to this community if you're posting here.
To be fair, people such as GK Chesterton and CS Lewis are referred to as "Christian apologists" with no slight intended. But I would tend to agree that in modern times it carries a negative connotation, implying that the person is defending an incorrect or offensive belief.

> What practical problems can 4000 CPUs solve that 16 CPUs can't?

I am going to be the funny person and say that 4k CPUs can solve a scheduling problem on time so that jobs for 10Mi Idle CPUs can be assigned on time.

But yeah, there are problems where ~ 200x CPU power can make a lot of difference, especially if you're time bound (that's roughly solving in 2 days what 16 CPUs would solve in 1 year)

> There are no dynamic link libraries (DLLs) or shared objects. Instead, there is only one type of function libraries that can be used for both static and dynamic linking. Only the part of the library that is actually used is loaded and linked. The library code is kept contiguous with the main program code in almost all cases. An executable file can be re-linked to update a function library or to adapt the program to a particular hardware configuration, operating system, or user interface framework.

So compiled code is forward compatible with new CPUs with longer vector registers, but it's not forward compatible with new libraries?

I find it a bit sad that people put so much effort into designing new ISAs that have nifty features, but then they make them so different from current ISAs that they basically can't run currently existing software.

It doesn't really matter how much money economy brings in at the top line, if there's little to nothing to be made on the bottom line. An entire plane of economy only at market fares is not worthwhile for an airline to operate on a per flight basis. Possibly worthwhile to operate in some situations just to keep their fleet in use, but likely not.

If this weren't the case, more airlines would operate flights like that. There isn't any conspiracy between airlines to minimize plane space for economy seats. The reality is that currently, the premium classes subsidize economy and not the other way around like you originally suggested.
