The leap is on persisting to assume that they did, when the special counsel had access to FISA warrants, NSA wiretaps, electronic eavesdropping, interviewed hundreds of witnesses, and generally investigated the hell out of this for hundreds of days, and in the end could not conclude that there was any cooperation or coordination with Russia.

In short, the full force of the USG investigated and came up short. I think the conspiracy is laid bare.

If you expected the report to conclude that the President/Campaign did not coordinate with Russia I’m sorry that was never going to happen. Because you cannot prove a negative.

You will always read a statement to this effect;

> Accordingly, while this report embodies factual and legal determinations that the Office believes to be accurate and complete to the greatest extent possible, given these identified gaps, the Office cannot rule out the possibility that the unavailable information would shed additional light on (or cast in a new light) the events described in the report.“

Because you can always keep trying to investigate a little longer. Interview and re-interview another hundred witnesses. Review another million emails. Listen to about hundred thousand hours of intercepts.

But if there’s one thing we can say and everyone will agree, this investigation was comprehensive. It was extensive. It was extremely professional (plus or minus somewhat gestapo raid tactics).

But at this point the only thing to be said about claims that the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the election, is that they are truly without evidence.
In America, you need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt to convict someone of a crime. It's innocent until PROVEN guilty with EVIDENCE.

How do you fully exonerate someone of a claim that isn't true. You're asking them to prove a negative.
When you connect your Github account to Docker Hub, that will give DH full access to all repos (https://i.imgur.com/4jJWrez.png). I'm not even sure if Github's permission model supports adding only read access to private repositories.

I'm not 100% sure if Docker hub uses deploy keys for repos it has access to thru the integration, but at least previously there was an option to manually add one to repository if it couldn't access it otherwise.

If you lead, or aspire to lead, major projects, I submit a reasonable definition of 'major' includes sitting at the table in national capitols with senior policy makers. They will expect you to be as invested in understanding their concerns, and the concerns of their constituents, as they are in trying to understand your project and your objectives. Reading articles like this, and I read and annotated the whole thing, is the homework you are going to have to do. Yes, they should all learn category theory and linear algebra and they haven't. That doesn't mean you suddenly have insight on the evolution of the problem spaces they've spent their entire, obviously successful careers navigating. So maybe take the time pay the penence for your genius, and invest the time to understand something about their efforts as they are fumbling around in the dark. At least they had the decency to put in writing for you to read, or ridicule as the case may be.

Also, feel free to look up some of the authors on this paper. They don't suck.
It was toilet paper and the fold was only long ways, which kind of breaks the spirit of the challenge IMO.

Mythbusters was able to fold a giant (football field size) sheet of paper at successive 90 degree angles (the hard way) eleven times, but it took a road roller/compactor to do it:

Article above claims someone has done the toilet paper fold 13 times.

How would you map these chunks to vectors?
We don’t have to speculate about what trump’s mindset was at the start of the investigation. The mueller report gives precise details about trumps state of mind. After learning about the investigation for the first time Trump slumped back in his chair and said to attorney general Jeff sessions “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I'm fucked. You were supposed to protect me.”

That is not the reaction of an innocent man.
“We are enhancing our overall security processes and reviewing our policies. Additional monitoring tools are now in place.”

Why wasn’t that the case before?!

If taxes were centralized, is it possible that one’s average tax bill delta would be higher than the average deal value of tax software products?

The FBI "did not establish" that Al Capone had people killed. The court of law "did not establish" that OJ Simpson murdered his ex wife and her friend. Yet they very clearly did those things.

The issue I see with your assertion is that we know from past presidential scandals how enormously difficult it is to elucidate criminal activity; it took years before the Watergate investigations finally uncovered enough evidence to expose Nixon's crimes, and Reagan served a full eight years in spite of his illegal involvement in the Iran-Contra Affair. Yet despite the contents of the Mueller Report, we have a large portion of the citizenry (most of whom haven't even read it) who are already certain that Trump is innocent, after only two years of investigation. The citizenry was certain of Nixon's innocence after two years of Watergate as well; they "did not establish" that he had committed any crimes at that time. But he clearly did.
We have 8 engineers with different skills stretched over 6 projects. It is a nightmare because all projects are top priority and late. We will be moving towards tracking tasks per project and per engineer. Currently tasks are only tracked per project which gives no visibility to what other projects an engineer is already working on.
What do you mean by “sample” when you say “sequence of 1 sample per second”?
I just want to say, for all it's worth, that the #rust channel on MozNet has been by far one of the most healthy and productive IRC channels that I've participated in. The channel is always active, and there is a constant presence of extremely qualified and patient folks in the chat (and often Rust core members as well). I hope that whatever they switch to will be able to foster a community as open and welcoming as their IRC.
I never understood why, if the situation becomes so bad that government-issued money is worthless, would people prefer gold instead of, say, water, toilet paper, medicine, access to a dentist, and so on?
I suspect something like "ls | cat" would speed it up as well. Probably tests if stdout is a tty before bothering with stat() and color logic.

Iron Triangle
I agree—but your comment omits something important, which is that article quality also conditions comment quality. It's a reciprocal loop. To get the most out of it means watching for quality articles that otherwise might fall through the cracks, and it also means coaxing threads to rise to a higher quality level instead of collapsing into default sludge.

This submission is a good example to make the point; it sits just on the interesting edge. That's why I've spent so much time commenting in this thread: not because I know anything about the social implications of photography tech, but because it reveals something about how HN can get better.

This stuff doesn't happen in Go and Rust programs.
The actual quote, from the Report;

> ”Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.”

> How could you let this happen, Jeff?” The President said the position of Attorney General was his most important appointment and that Sessions had “let [him] down,” contrasting him to Eric Holder and Robert Kennedy.

> Sessions recalled that the President said to him, “you were supposed to protect me,” or words to that effect. The President returned to the consequences of the appointment and said, “Everyone tells me if you get one of these independent counsels it ruins your presidency. It takes years and years and I won’t be able to do anything. This is the worst thing that ever happened to me.”

And I’d say the same thing as a completely innocent man in the same position. Trump truly was fucked, badly, for hundreds of days. Sessions was supposed to protect Trump from a special counsel which did in fact derail his Presidency to pursue a fruitless investigation.

By any account, if the media had their way, it would have been the end of his Presidency.

I’m sort of amazed by his grit in getting through the whole thing intact. Many times I expected he would resign just to try to escape it. I can’t imagine millions of people and almost the entire mass media absolutely convinced that you’re an agent of Russia, Clapper on CNN saying you’re Putin’s asset, all without any evidence.
I'm not saying that we necessarily didn't find evidence because Trump obstructed the investigation. Maybe he was innocent of collusion and obstructed to prevent us from finding out about other crimes or embarrassing things. Maybe he had other reasons.

The point is that we don't know what we weren't able to learn because of his obstruction. Maybe it was just an unsuccessful attempt to cover up the things we did learn about. Those were certainly bad enough, but trying to cover them up could have prevented us from getting enough information to determine that his campaign wasn't colluding with Russia.
"Censorshop for etiquette" is not even close to being the active ingredient here. I hear that it looks that way to you, but what's actually going on when we moderate threads is so different, that I wonder how to convey the difference. Any ideas?

Let me put it this way: I wonder how to convince you how little we give a shit about decorum. What a miserable life it would be to spend one's days enforcing something that...limited. Such a concept appears nowhere in the site guidelines or in its moderation history.

It's pretty striking to hear "You’re just a political thug", and I can certainly understand why your comments have so much force in them if you feel that way. When you say we "always target one side of a sensitive issue", though, that's so factually inaccurate that I'm not sure what else I can do that would help.
This is a really good way to shutdown any kind of conversation ever.

Yes there are going to be people that regurgitate their talking points without wanting to listen. But you don't have to respond to them.

If you really have an idea that stand on it's own merits, then it shouldn't matter if it's unpopular unless what you're really seeking is validation from your own camp that agree with you overall, but might nitpick on some small details.

It’s just basic physics and a function of the sheet’s thinkness. Imagine an arbitrarily thick piece of paper such that it’s impossible to fold even once. Then imagine an infinitesimally thin sheet of paper and start folding. Each fold, to a reasonable approximation, doubles the thickness of the paper and it will exponentially approach the unfoldable thickness.

I remember talking to a sailor in the BOC Solo Round The World race in late 1990. They all knew and talked over radio to each other about "something going on" in Late July and early August - when their GPSs started reporting much more accurate CEP numbers, which allowed them to much more accurately detect the ocean currents they were sailing in and position themselves most favorably in them.

"They may be bastards, but they're our bastards." - statement attributed to some presidents, not only of U.S.
2^12 = 4096. So folding a sheet of paper 12 times would result in something 4096 times as thick. If you think about a stack of printer paper nearly 2 inches thick, well that's only 500 sheets. This fold would be more than 8 times that thick.

The first half of the article also calls out multiple toxic organic chemical contaminants from several operations including a railroad and a waste-processing plant ... severe enough to require Superfund remediation.

In that era ('Better things for better living through chemistry') most people were unaware of the dangers of industrial chemicals in the air, water and soil. They got little press, at least until 'Silent Spring'.

I fully intend to do so. I have the VAX VMS ISO and hobbyist license around somewhere and have spent a little time fooling with it under emulation. I first used it nearly 30 years ago, and have been missing versioning filesystems ever since. For all of the strengths of Unix-like systems, notably their longevity and versatility, as I think I've written elsewhere on this forum, VMS just seems so much more fully engineered, designed and deliberate in contrast.

(It seems you had a great hack to get VMS connected. Was that used for file sharing only, or could you do more with it?)

ptGHCi author here. IHaskell and ptGHCi are really quite different in goals and design.

ptGHCi is a wrapper around GHCi. In fact, it runs GHCi as a subprocess. That means almost all GHCi features are supported out of the box. No matter you were using GHCi before, you can continue to do so -- whether standalone or under stack or cabal. ptGHCi doesn't care what GHC version you're using -- you can build ptGHCi with one version and use it to develop a project under another version. And .ghci configuration files are mostly respected (though there are some exceptions, such as the prompt, which ptGHCi takes over).

IHaskell is all about Jupyter and its ecosystem. More specifically, I think it's safe to say (though I don't want to put words in the authors' mouths) that the main use case is for creating HTML-based notebooks with rich media output (diagrams, graphs, etc). IHaskell doesn't use GHCi at all and only supports a subset of GHCi commands. While you could configure IHaskell to run in a console, I don't think you would gain much by doing so vs. vanilla GHCi.

At some point in the future, I hope to add support for using ptGHCi as a Jupyter kernel -- mainly because it should be easy to do so. Compared to IHaskell, ptGHCi in Jupyter would give you the full power of GHCi, at the expense of (probably) losing the rich media capabilities of IHaskell. But this isn't a major goal of ptGHCi.
> it came back with zero instances of Russian collusion found

Just like the Mueller Report itself!
I don't know if the U.S. has any soft power left. Backing out of a UN Arms Trade Treaty makes the arrest and extradition of the Huawei executive seem even more transparently political (as if it wasn't already).

Maybe I'm joining these two things together unfairly or illogically, but the way I see it: The Huawei issue was over selling US-manufactured technology to Iran, with whom the US has trade sanctions. This declaration by Trump means that the US wants to be able to sell arms to countries that are on a UN-sanctioned list. In terms of crimes against humanity, selling arms pretty much outranks anything else.

I think this is potentially a method to cut-off or at least minimize a revenue stream for Russia and China (since neither are signatories to the UN Arms Trade Treaty), but this race to the bottom feels as if it's getting very close to the end.

And then when I read articles like the following, they just feel brutally and trivially sarcastic:
https://torrentfreak.com/us-govt-identifies-top-pirate-sites...

"We want to sell weapons to any country we please. These websites are allowing people to download movies and computer games for free, we need to put political pressure on their respective countries to shut them down!"

It's an odd sense of perspective. Pure trade; capitalism over and above any other... anything.
India’s NavIC is riddled with problems. Atomic clocks on some of the satellites have failed. ISRO is opaque about the malfunctions. Researchers have found that it can be easily jammed with household WiFi signals causing severe degradation of signal strength. Nobody is really using the system, all the talk has been about fishing boats carrying the receivers.

India started developing after GPS was denied during Kargil War with Pakistan in 1999. More recently India’s (More like Russia’s) cruise missile, BrahMos, veered off target by 7 Kms as GPS signals were cut off mid flight.

India has tried replicating GPS, but the system is still not proven.
ptGHCi runs GHCi as a subprocess and uses GHCi commands to request type and completion information.
