>When things go wrong, humans want to blame somebody - some actual, sentient being.

Exactly! When (not if) a fully autonomous self-driving car causes a terrible accident resulting in death, how are the loved ones going to feel when they've only got a company to blame? In such an emotional situation, the response needs to be better than Uber or whoever saying "we're very sorry our car did that, but hey, we're trying our best, and these things are going to happen". Are people really going to accept that? That's simply not going to fly.
To save you the click bait headline, literally first paragraph:

> America is regressing to have the economic and political structure of a developing nation, an MIT economist has warned.
What are talking about? Is it because I said it was illegal instead of it being a crime?

The first sentence you quoted was also part of a larger piece about we still need to see the proof that he actually sent it to someone else. So replying "Still a crime" makes zero sense.

In any case, the point is that these are trumped up charge probably to get him to the US so they can question him about russiagate.
Hacker News, which consists of mostly men who do the vast majority of work in tech, is sick of men not being fairly treated and credited just because they are not women.

Just help me to understand. What you mean for example when you say:

If it falls within fund's target they should just buy it, without thinking. That's the point of low cost ETFs.

There's even a known arbitrage opportunity with things like S&P500. When the S&P committee decides to include a new stock (and delist some other stock) you can front-run the purchases by the giants like SPY or VOO, slightly inflating the stock's value just when the ETFs buy it from you.

All this fancy stuff, but where's my Sets at? Google took down the website like 15 years ago. I used that thing daily. Then they put it into Google Sheets. You could type "apple" then "pear" then "orange" and then select cells, drag, and you'd get a list of fruits! Some you never heard of before!

I looked around and Google has a patent on it, and seemingly no public implementation. This makes me super sad because I honestly considered Sets one of the most useful exploration and ideation tools ever created.

BigQuery in Sheets, cool I guess? I want Sets back.

That's not a clickbait headline...that's a subheadline that expands on the primary headline with details. "Developing nation status" literally means "to have the economic and political structure of a developing nation".

Which the US now does. The President* is calling for the "animals" to be caged, says we would more efficiently solve our problems by lining up with "machine guns" on the border to shoot them, considers it a geopolitical advantage to pollute with coal since climate change is a hoax perpetuated by "the Chinese", etc. That's the political structure of a developing nation.

And the shrinking middle class with no ability to sustain a minor financial emergency? With predatory healthcare systems and a penal system that is financially incentivized to create criminals and increase recidivism?

With more concern for corporate quarterly profits over the long-term sustainability of building an economy with _correctly priced externalities_ like pollution, poisoning citizens with lead drinking water, etc?

That's a developing nation.
The "meddling in elections" is neither quantifiable nor in any way an excuse for the issue at hand. You want to get someone behind bars because he leaked information about war crimes. Nothing else at hand matters to this case.

"meddling in elections".... pff....
Polymer was trying to do too much (to be a framework), and the quality was average at best.

LitElement is able to focus on providing the best base class to build a Web Component. I think it is almost there.
I completely agree. War drives innovation, its a very sad reality. Though in order to get further than our solar system, we'll either need to destroy ourselves, or combine our resources. Some are already trying, and its great. Others have a way to go before realizing this. Very altruistic, I know. Though I think some altruism is needed!
I'm also really worried about that. (It's just a feeling but..) for a service as big as Cloudflare I think it may be not as failure proof and clustered designed as it should be for a massive DNS provider.

I for myself pay for a smaller DNS provider like CloudDNS with a bigger redundancy in NS servers (4 instead of 2 at Cloudflare) than going for free at Cloudflare.
Gaia Hypothesis
I see a header and a footer and a big blank page. Whatever the author is using to replace his front end currently doesn't work on my iPad Air.

But in answer to the question, no. I doubt it. I tried building a site using polymer when if first came out. It was harder than the in house thing I'd previously been using and after about a year, the spec had moved on and my site looked like this author's blog: a big white page and some JavaScript errors.

I'm not the sort of person who enjoys rewriting my app every year to suit the whims of the framework it's on top of, so my plan is to emit boring HTML until something equally stable yet better comes along.
It can be a performance boost because it only updates the part of the DOM tree that has changed. Not completely unlike React’s virtual DOM

If we are going to golf, here is a small Perl6 version:

sub print-maybe ( $_ ) {
say $_ // "nothing"
}

Or to translate your code:

my &print-maybe = { say $_ // "nothing" }

Of course both of the above take advantage of all Perl6 types being Maybe types already.

(Think of defined-or `//` as having a slightly different slant to it than `||`.)
Well, thats a shame then. I might add I believed it because of the false assumption "what I do is what everyone does" and I stopped using AMZN and buy in bricks-and-mortar deliberately for a reason.

I do however, in some cases continue to buy online but from shops direct, not via their Amazon channel.

I assumed the background was this is a "thing" but your story makes more sense: the rate of growth of underlying trends makes a single-line measure "drop" but it isn't what they say it is, its a decline in relative scale.
No matter the underlying technology, "lightweight, truly reusable UI components" is almost an ideologic dream, at the web scale. (some companies might achieve it on their own scale with a lot of effort, but not sure for how many years)

As the maintainer, you don't want to cave in and add every possible configuration option people ask for so you have to decide what's a good, thin API for your component and it will never be enough for some usages. Styles are that much more subjective and even vary with design trends over the years!

It might be possible for very, very simple components like text inputs but then again, those are also the simplest to code directly in your framework, so you could wonder, why bother with an inferior programming paradigm in the first place?

The sweet spot for web components really seems tiny.
If we start with the premises that if people think that something is a crime, they can commit a crime to try and prove it, our legal system will quickly crumble.

Would it still be journalism, if they hacked the database and didn't find evidence.

Should the fact that the information released, put many lives in danger when it compromised many people aiding our government?

Morally his actions can be debated, but not from a legal one, so he should be arrested and it should be up to a jury to determine if is moral reasoning and actions out way his crimes.
Web Components did replace frameworks for me. I built KanRails (https://www.kanrails.com/) with LitElement, without React/Vue/etc.

The alpha is at https://app.kanrails.com/signup. Again, it's in alpha. It is essentially a Trello + Google Forms + Workflow wannable.

How? Stick to patterns, not libraries. Check out https://pwa-starter-kit.polymer-project.org/ for LitElement starter kits. And just use Webpack, rip out the Polymer CLI. Oh, I also use Redux.
All the early Russian and US space launch systems were modified ICBMs. The US started their ICBM program immediately after WW2 the same as the Russians. It’s just that with the US developing the atomic bomb firsts, Russia had a stronger incentive to get a really big technological ‘First’ of their own.

I’m not in any way denigrating the Russian achievement, but it’s not as though the US had no rockets of it’s own at the time and the military benefits were clear to both sides.

You can't delete comments from hacker news after a certain period of time has passed and that's ok, I was wrong about the amount of work she committed and in all honesty, I didn't doubt her in any way. I looked up what she had contributed because I was curious and initially I didn't find much. I do apologize for not digger a bit deeper.

I still stand by the fact that all people's work of this magnitude should be reviewed and analyzed - it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman.

>According to the dictionary, the word 淳 can be read as jun, shun, atsui, atsu, atsushi, kiyo, kiyoshi, makoto, or sunao. And evidently this is not fully complete, since Akiko can also use that character.

I think the "ko" suffix comes from the second Kanji character "子" which means child (I think, it has been over a decade since i studied Japanese but that particular Kanji character looks familiar to me). So I believe it is similar to how a lot of English surnames end in "son" (Johnson, Anderson, Harrison) etc.

> VS Code has had excellent git integration for a long time

I don't agree. Last time I've checked vscode fails un some rather basic requirements, as for example vscode's file renaming functionality is entirely oblivious to Git which causes unnecessary problems to the user.
admirable trait to laugh when your idiocy is pointed out: "I had no choice but to support the war crimes I hate, because there was no way I could leave that country."
No more reason now than 2 years ago.

There is one really big technical issue here which I don't see answered on the site: given "it will be multiprocessing from day one", how are they going to handle data races deterministically and efficiently? This is the issue that has made all previous attempts to implement multicore record-and-replay quite inefficient.
> their names map 1:1 with their pronunciation

Not quite, eg ki'yu vs kyu vs ki'u and n'a (んあ) vs na (な), but unlike in english those tend to be pathological corner cases that you can either ignore entirely in practice or easily handle (eg the Ci+yV <-> CyV convention).
How Bad Is Your Colormap? (2014)
This article is incomplete. The Haskell Library "discrimination" has a linear time, "productive" (in that it can output partial results before the full input has been seen) version of this:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/discrimination-0.3/docs/D...

A simpler non-productive algorithm uses sorting, but you can do so in linear time and we have known about this for some time. Sadly, this information is not well distributed among software engineers in industry.
Wikipedia is particularly untrustworthy for political topics. Political parties and even nations are employing teams of people to work their way up the Wikipedia ranks in a fight for control.

Assange would know the source. Assange also made a promise to not reveal sources, making no exception for death. Giving suggestive hints would be one reasonable way to deal with the awkwardness of the situation.
Wikipedia isn’t supposed to make such judgements. If the article is on archive.org or anywhere it can be cited; articles about challenges to the veracity of such an article can also be cited and discussed.
This mentality predates HN.

If what I did is a crime under US law then yes, in the US. If what I did involved accessing servers in Austrailia, from the US, then again, only if what I did is a crime under US law then yes, in the US. If I claimed in an online chat that I attempted to derive a password from a hash and failed, while I was located in Mexico then no.

The idea of a government's authority being derived from a consent to be governed was expressed very early in the US of A's declaration of independence to Britian: "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" and I think this is a reasonable stance.
You're right that 子 means child.

But there is no similarity to English (or any language) patronymics. 子 was used as an element of girls' names because it's good for a girl to be youthful. "Johnson" lets you know that the person is the son of John, not that the person is himself named John.
If you are starting a new project today, use LitElement. Only use Polymer 3 if you're coming from Polymer 2.
Women have so much encouragement to enter science already. There have already been tons of "inspring and motivating" women held up as examples. We all know that merely possessing the required genitalia and being sufficiently attractive is enough to be held up as the next female champion of whatever. Tech conferences have been cancelled after the anonymous selection process selected only men. Women are given special treatment, special places, special encouragement. They have special sources of funding. Hell, they even get paid more according to Google. All of this special treatment and they still don't want to do it.

Add to this the fact that every man in tech has done a woman's work for her at some point. The last 20% of work takes 80% of the time, always. As men are getting less and less sex they are now realising this more and more. That is why we can cut through this bullshit immediately now.
Realm is probably one of the most well known.
One approach that might work is an force that only participated in defense/retaliation, similar to the Mohist siege engineers.

Using that logic, we could argue that defective search warrants should be ignored if they uncover a horrible crime. This idea that breaking laws in the pursuit of a supposed greater good could lead to some dangerous places. This kind of thinking leads to things like torturing people to uncover a terrorist plot: the law against torture is broken using the rationale of uncovering a potentially greater crime. As soon we go down the road of moral relativism, suddenly we have anarchy: any law become optional if the ends are justified to the person making the decision to break the law in question. What if hacking a computer yields nothing? Does that crime get excused because it might have uncovered something? Who decides when a law can be broken?
You're right, I had assumed that the project that she was the owner of on her github portfolio was her primary contribution - I jumped to conclusions without digging any deeper and I'd delete the comment if Hacker News would let me.

He also announced a 20 or 25K dollar reward for information leading to Seth Rich's murder being solved, in order to further imply he was the leaker.

>I also fully intend on "election meddling" by sharing my opinions on the internet. As should you. It's on you to prove why this is bad for the american people.

The DNC and Podesta email leaks were probably worth a billion or so dollars in campaign money influence. That's not even counting the IRA trolls. You and me and probably all of HN readers combined couldn't come up to such a level of influence.

I believe it was done in bad faith by Russia and Assange in order to divide and destabilize the US, regardless of the outcome of the elections. The IRA tried to amplify both the extremes, and heavily pushed actual fake news including Pizzagate.

I got bear-ish on self-driving cars when I realized that, in order to be able to drive in Bucharest, you _have to_ break the (letter of the) law fairly often[1]. Knowing when to do so requires "common sense" which is a notoriously difficult nut to crack - computer vision may be advanced enough, but it's simply not enough. I still think it will evolve in time and reach mass-market, it's just that it will take lots of time - it's not something that will have a purely-technological solution, it will likely require legal and social changes too, and those take time.

[1] E.g. Car stopped in front; do you cross the continuous line to go to the opposite lane, or just wait a bit? Or merging from a side street into a busy main road.... some drivers will let you, but which ones? If you wait until "it's safe", well, good luck.
"Stick to patterns, not libraries" - Such a simple statement, but concise as hell. It's whats been my mindset, but I haven't put it to words.

Easy to write a simple one - otherwise there's likely a bazillion of them on npm. Not that I've used it, but it's not like Redux or MobX are restricted to React either
Oh yeah definitely! I never noticed the similarity with -son, that's really interesting. I was actually specifically referring to the "Aki" part of Akiko which isn't listed in the dictionary I'm using.

Now that I think about it though, I've never seen that read as Akiko before (or Akiko written that way). I don't see it on any websites and Microsoft IME doesn't list that as a version of Akiko at all (~10 pages of suggestions). Makes me curious about where the author got that reading from...

I hope you will not take this as me encouraging a conspiracy theory —

I sometimes wonder what would happen if someone stumbled upon a simple, robust and general method for halting aging using the likes of stem cells. Ordinarily this sort of discovery happens in plain sight— over many years of acedemic research, published papers, animal studies and human studies. But suppose it occurred in a private lab and was kept, basically, secret. I could imagine a government being hesitant to release this info if they thought lay people could implement t the treatment themselves and live multi thousands of years.

But I also suspect that a few rich and powerful people would want to have a go. It would be interesting to see how they conceal the fact— do they fake death multiple times? Even if a government is able to restrict interested billionaires and powerful people from participating, they may feel a need to keep a population of long span humans— as a competitive hedge against other nations’ possible participation. It’s possible that this is happening now, though I know of absolutely no evidence of that.
> bigger redundancy in NS servers (4 instead of 2 at Cloudflare)

I don't think this is really all that important, as typically all these servers are running anycast. If you really wanted redundancy, you would have NS records from at least two different providers.
You're paying for a service that's less robust because they have more IP addresses serving their database?
Ahh that makes sense thanks for confirming. I studied Japanese in Primary school until grade 10. We had only just started on Kanji when I stopped taking the classes. I was surprised I could still read all the hiragana and katakana in the source article I guess I retained more of it than I thought.
