Most of the top tier (by current polling) 2020 candidates don't have much beside donations and merchandising on their website yet; Harris has some things that are at about the level of a stump speech and Warren has actual issue pages.

Those currently in Congress (e.g., Sanders, Harris, Warren, Gillibrand, Klobuchar) can (and do) signal platform positions concretely through sponsored legislation, even they don't have issues pages on their website.
It's both, and more.

> In my "real world" we normally don't care about things like big-O complexity. We worry about doing dumb things and not taking more time than we have available.

Any work in any kind of scale setting has to implicitly deal with this. You might not realize it immediately, but if you are dealing with a network of 100k+ nodes, or some database with 10M+ entries, or anything of that sort, there is a huge difference between doing something in O(N) or in O(N^2) or O(2^N). Just a nested loop where for each node you need to gather information from each other node is completely out of the question (quadratic vs. linear). Or where you try all combinations of something (exponential). Or where you look up something (linear search vs. logarithmic). I deal with such problems every day. And my job isn't anything special. You may call those "dumb things", but under the hood it's just asymptotic complexity, aka "big-O".

It could also be that your "real world" does not contain scale settings. But then please don't generalize; the industry is full of scale problems to be solved on a day-to-day basis.
They might simply prefer to unveil the specs themselves rather than let leakers do.
FWIW at least for a lot of major libraries in HPC now have C/C++ wrappers (eg; IMSL). But yeah, while it is possible to write rust wrappers for everything it's just not something you're going to do most of the time.

Modern C++ is "good enough" where you'll potentially end up with some unsafe code but unless you're writing an SSL library it'll be OK.
I’m not sure if anyone else noticed this and maybe it’s too juvenile for Hacker News, but Tesla now sells the models S, 3, X, and Y, S3XY.
Because on the questions of what he intends to do and how he intends to do it, he has been maddeningly vague. It's hard to write about what somebody is going to do when they refuse to tell you.

(In his defense, this vagueness can actually be read as strategic. Barack Obama took a similar tack in 2008, and it let people project onto him pretty much any profile they wanted. In politics, specificity can be a career limiter.)
Also, we're now in an environment where power technology is changing rapidly, due to the rapid decline in cost of renewables. In that environment, any long term investment is suspect. This is one reason combustion turbines held on: they have lower capital cost, so if they're made obsolete in a couple of decades it's not as big a hit.

Exactly; this is why we frequently get such lousy candidates winning in the primaries, who then go to the general election for everyone to vote on.

The system isn't nearly as open as people seem to think.
Well I mean, Candace Owens is none of the things he cites in his own manifesto. I think you'd be hard-pressed to call her a communist, anarchist, or eco-fascist (words the killer uses to describe himself). Perhaps she is a fascist (I guess depending on your political viewpoints), but if she is one, she is certainly not an eco-fascist.

The shooter does not seem like one for clear thinking though. Or alternatively, if the intent is to get a rise out of people or incite a race war, choosing a prominent black conservative voice is a good way to do that.

CdC has always controlled a candidate in every presidential election... HN needs to catch up.
I once was called by a collection agent for state taxes (private company contracted by the state). While I knew my taxes had been paid, I was indeed delinquent in FILING my taxes, and apparently they hadn't connected the taxes paid on my W-2s with the income on my W-2s (?!).

According to the agent if I didn't give him the info from my checking account while I was on the phone, he'd hit the button and start garnishing my wages, freezing my credit, etc. He refused my every effort to say I needed to check my balances, etc and get back to him. I was living paycheck to paycheck at the time. This was a very real threat - that it would all work out was NOT the same as not being a problem.

Yet - this was entirely legal (AFAIK(. He was lying - he didn't have the authority to do those things - but he could make the threats. He put me in such a panic that I was calling the Tax agency hourly, leaving messages and faxing details. By the time I got through to a manager that could tell me my status she responded to my greeting with "Oh yes, I know who you are Mr. [REDACTED]".

A terrible experience all around. It was a threat to induce action, but neither extortion nor blackmail.
Shhh... people still think they are being serious.

edit: Think about it this way... There are dumb people on both sides of anything, it's tough to say "only their side needs to own their idiots" when lots of stupid and people run around talking absolute nonsense about climate change when it's hot out. That doesn't mean everyone that agrees with them is as dumb or even wrong at all.

If 10% of people believe it and the rest are acting - how could you tell?
I wonder the same. There is nothing in this post to down vote BUT disagreement.
Which brings me to another point;has HN acquired so much weight, thatbots are now also here to manipulate informations streams?
Yeup. I walk through the cube farm here every now and then and I see people with FB on their screens. I'm sure there's things they could be doing other than perusing the feed (like messaging, event planning, etc.)...

I also work in a meeting heavy culture where people will be on Instagram scrolling their feed while someone is talking on a conference call....
I've seen it done for tape libraries.

My understanding is that the biggies - Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. - don't bother with individual drive replacements (and certainly not with an expensive robotic arm system). They wait for an entire rack to fault over a certain percentage and then just swap out the whole thing.
Not allowed to here in MA AFAIK; have to register with a party to vote in the primaries.
I will disagree, you have no right to both keep secrets and allow other people to know them. I think blackmail should be illegal in the case of threatening to disclose criminal activity. But that case has nothing to do with the right to keep secrets. It should be illegal because it's essentially using the threat of state violence for personal gain. Any threats of violence for personal gain should be illegal.

I will note even with this limited scope it gets complicated. For example if you are being harassed and threaten to report the aggressor for criminal harassment if they do not leave you alone you might be commiting blackmail.

It's unclear why the author of the article is unsure what type of president the US is ready for, right after they elected Donald Trump.
Disagree with you. Parent seems to be conflating the modern male experience with anti-sensitivity. Expression of all emotions by males should be encouraged. I think the idolization of stoicism is detrimental to men's health. Men should be able to cry, be angry, express emotions within reasonable bounds. Bottling them up often leads to mental health problems later.
I believe they are referring to the amount that the store takes out of each sale from developers and publishers, not what consumers pay.

I love how you try to justify that this isn't a subsidy by using the word "quotas"!
Plenty of people want nothing to do with either major political party, even as a "moderate".
> For that matter, if you find out I know something and offer me a quid-pro-quo for signing an NDA and not revealing it, that's probably legal as well.

This is correct. As long as the quid pro quo isn't illegal or coerced.

"I won't tell your secret and you won't tell mine." - Okay

"I won't tell your secret and you'll pay me a reasonable sum of money." - Okay

"You won't tell my secret and you won't get murdered." - Not Okay (Coercion)

"I won't tell your secret and you'll help me commit this crime." - Not Okay (Illegal)
Observe the saddening axiom -

There is no such rule set that a dedicated troll or attacker would be unable to circumvent.

Instead consider every rule as a evolutionary hint for attackers - eventually they reach a point that they can often pass for perfectly normal users.

Wow, this is like a relationship where one partner tries hard to convey frustration and the other one not hearing any frustration at all but ends up making them about themselves. At first I just felt Spotify was being a little dramatic, like mom and dad fighting, but Apple's response is infuriating. I actually feel really bad for Spotify now. Yes they're a business, but the things Apple is accusing them of is the very thing Apple also does.

Paul Leroux comes to mind. It also really depends on who you consider to be a "hacker". To some people, Zuckerberg fits the description (though he is a different type of hacker, moreso the "hacker" of "Hacker News"), and I think most would agree he would be a terrible politician.

I had been waiting for the new MBP, and when Apple released the 2016 touchbar models I went and bought the 2015 15'' model.

I used the 2015 for a year before selling it because the Intel GPU was seriously underpowered and the 4th gen CPU ran too hot which made the fans annoyingly audible too often.

So since I din't need the portability I ended up getting a 5K iMac, which is quite frankly the best Mac I've ever owned. I still use a 2014 13'' MBP that I had lying around on the rare times I travel or work away from home.

I hope Apple knows all the problems with the current laptop line, but if they don't do something quick they will end up losing a lot of audience. Unless something drastic happens my next laptop won't be an Apple one.
In some states, like PA where I live, you have to be registered with one party or the other to vote in primaries. I changed my registration from independent recently due to this. There is talk of legislation to change it but I'm not sure of it's current status.
They don't necessarily have an entire platform fleshed out, but they usually have one or two Big Ideas that (in theory, anyway) motivated them to run.
That's not very intuitive for me. Let's do some limit analysis: imagine the groups were one million sessions each, but the convertions in the groups were only one and two people respectively. Wouldn't this result seem like the result of random chance?

The conversion rate is basically one in a million in both cases.
I found that fortunately right out of school I was very content- I had roommates, but I enjoyed that lifestyle. I had enough to put away each month into retirement and outside savings accounts and life was good.

Then I got a serious girlfriend. We moved in together. We were getting a bit older and eating dinner on the couch because our tiny apartment couldn't fit a table grew old. We got a bigger/nicer place. This was ok, I was making about 2x what I was when I first got out of school. Life was good.

We got married, we hit 30. We were tired of being at the whims of landlords and ever steeply increasing rents in our area. We bought a condo, with the intent on staying put more than 3 years (as opposed to moving every 1-2 like we had previously. It was a big scary commitment to take on, and it was right in the middle of the financial crisis. My comp stagnated for 3 years as I was at a company that at the end of each year said "well you know, money is tight..." Overall though, we could afford our place, our savings was growing, and as we started leaving the crisis, my retirement and brokerage accounts started to bloom. I eventually ditched the shitty company and joined a legit tech company for a 50% total comp increase. At one point, all my other savings exceeded what I owed on my mortgage, which was a big relief. I life was good.

We have been married about 5 years, our condo is great, but not big enough for a family. Our neighborhood, which we love, and while was one considered "bad" is now quite desirable as people realized the commute into the core of the city was quite easy. Property values are through the roof. I DREAD the notion of going back to living in a check to check fashion. An upgrade to a forever home in our area is going to cost us 2-3M. My wife and I both work relatively long hours. We either face moving out of the city and into the burbs, but trading that for a long commute, or having a mortgage that could potentially ruin us and cause great stress. I like my job, but I did get a call from a competing company, where I could potentially 1.5x my comp again... life is good?

I hope this gives some perspective on how the salary treadmill happens. We are in a very high cost of living area/tech hub, this would look a lot different if I was in the midwest, but I think this path is pretty typical for those living on the coasts these days.
For what it's worth Musk says he's confident:

>I think we will be feature complete full self-driving this year meaning the car will be able to find you in a parking lot pick you up take you all the way to your destination
without an intervention. This year. I would say that I am certain of that, that is not a question mark.

>However people sometimes will extrapolate that to mean now it works with one hundred percent certainty we're requiring no observation perfectly. This is not the case. Once it is feature complete then you're sort of kind of the march of nines like how many nines of reliability do you want to be and then when do regulators agree that it is that that is that reliable so this feature complete post full self-driving this year with certainty.

It's a post showing the official comment of Australian senator Fraser Anning on the mass shooting, claiming the immigration program is to blame for the mass shooting.
From Glenn Greenwald’s tweet [1], which is quoted in this article:

> “Both Laura & I have full copies of the archives, as do others. The Intercept has given full access to multiple media orgs, reporters & researchers. I've been looking for the right partner - an academic institution or research facility - that has the funds to robustly publish.”

Now this news doesn’t sound all too bad. We probably need more people to host it and/or make it available as torrent downloads. Even if interest has reduced, there could still be more knowledge to gain from it.

I think you’re both right. Being an ironic flat-earther is easier than being an ironic racist, especially since sarcasm doesn’t transmit very well over text, especially on contentious topics.
Small sample size aside, they used the wrong KPI (imho). This needs to be tested over time. That is, which one retains better? Focusing on conversion's is a fool's errand. That is, you convert better but then if churn is higher you could end up at net loss. That's not ideal, obviously.

I think also, you'd have to look at referrals (if you have them). Perhaps a lower subscription rate actually led to more sales because (for some reason) those subscribers like to tell their friends.

The analysis here is too shallow.

It's not really. Crying wolf is a bit hypocritical seeing how both engage in the exact same practices but only one is coming up with the sob story.

They came in the court of public opinion asking for fair treatment while misleading and giving half the story in their very loud complaint. They lost their moral high ground. Even worse since they're a company doing the exact same thing to artists. My point is, when you're in the same pigsty keep a low profile ;).

A single sentence in an otherwise glamorizing and embellishing article does not a anti-Beto piece make.

I'm guessing a little bit, but this page almost certainly uses the web torrent project https://webtorrent.io/.

Basically, it's an implementation of the torrent protocol over webrtc.

The majority of torrent clients don't communicate with webrtc clients, but there are some that do (Like the official webtorrent client). So they act as a bridge between web page clients and regular torrent clients.

And yet the pass rate at GCSE and previously GCE O Level has been fairly stable at roughly two thirds passing give or take a couple of percent for 60 years...

Somebody is still running Beto's campaign to the old (Clinton/Bush era) standard of use the media to build up brand and brand.

Meanwhile there is a crop of new-style politicians, all over the spectrum, that run via the new (AOC/Trump era) standard of use the social media+memes to build up brand and support.
That will certainly be brought up in the campaign, but it was brought up in his House races and the Senate race and didn't seem to have much of an impact.

If you are interested in the subject, The Implementation of Functional Programming Languages by Simon Peyton Jones is actually freely available on his Microsoft Research page : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/the-imp...

The book is really great. It starts with a very interesting explanation of lambda calculus and how high-level functional programming language can be tied to it. Chapters 8 and 9 were written by Peter Hancock and cover step by step how to write a polymorphic type-checker (the examples are in Miranda but it's not far from Haskell).

For a 1987 book, it all aged very well.
I like it, it's catchy!
The context is different between the two. Super Cruise got high marks because of its focus on driver engagement/awareness, it's very clearly an "assist" feature. Autopilot is intended to become autonomous, so driver monitoring is so much lower on the list.
