I'm sorry, but this reads like "Russians fought for Belarusian, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, and Ruthenian lands".

Looks quite strange at least about Ukrainians (which were half as many as Russians). Do you think they stayed home?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_All-Union_Census_of_the_...

Meanwhile Poland occupied ethnic Ukrainian territories https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish–Ukrainian_War (east of future Curzon line).

This helped Bolshevik to overthrow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_People%27s_Republic

Of course Bolshevik never intended to stop until all Europe is in fire.

That's Poland who started the war https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiev_Offensive_(1920)

> Piłsudski also said:
Closed within the boundaries of the 16th century, cut off from the Black Sea and Baltic Sea, deprived of land and mineral wealth of the South and South-east, Russia could easily move into the status of second-grade power. Poland as the largest and strongest of new states, could easily establish a sphere of influence stretching from Finland to the Caucasus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish–Soviet_War

I can't see Poland in good light here - same imperial attitude, same old flows in ethnic politics. Same as Russia.

As for the pact

> The terms of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939 provided for the partition of Poland along the line of the San, Vistula and Narew rivers which did not go along Curzon Line but reached far beyond it and awarded the Soviet Union with territories of Lublin and near Warsaw.

Yet

> Soviet Union annexed all territories east of the Curzon Line plus Białystok and Eastern Galicia.

We have emacs bindings, and everything can be extended in CL, live. You can even connect to emacs while it is running in both directions. We wrote an interesting article about that here:

There are usually quite a lot of regulations on dwellings, often including room size, layout, window placement, ceiling height, etc.

The specific "guidelines" for places I've lived are:

The San Francisco guidelines are particularly onerous, but the Victorian guidelines still set e.g. minimum sizes for bedrooms and living areas.
While you need ID, all that proves is that you have been asked to attend. You can get access to the building (ok after hours) by signing up to a meetup and providing your name. Also by virtue of the work they do, relative strangers will come in frequently as sources, experts, etc.

Shootings tend to happen relatively quickly (though often longer than people think the Virginia Beach shooter wasn't contained for 15 minutes), but they tend to have very long and potentially dangerous sweeps to clear the area. You don't want a response team to accidentally shoot a guy holding a stapler or something.

The NY Times building is a single block from Times Square where there are enough heavily armed response teams to depose several island governments 24/7. Also being in the area somewhat regularly there are regular and counterterrorism police directly in front and across the street often during daylight hours.

The Times is kind of the exception that proves the rule. If you aren't literally feet from an armed response that can bring down everything from an armored car to a helicopter (only rumored, but repeatedly so) it probably won't do as much good. In their particular situation though, I suspect it could save lives if a rare event occurs. Which is always a hard thing to balance.

I'm sorry that it seemed like I was downplaying it.

What I was actually thinking is that this kind of thing is likely to crop up in complex systems, and if we work on complex systems we should be wary for it.
This was my thought. Someone didn’t design this system with security and privacy in mind at the outset.

Consider the case where a supervisor makes unwanted physical contact with a subordinate. I wouldn't be so quick to assume that the company would hand over evidence to the subordinate if s/he made the claim. If they act in the best interest of the company, they would delete the footage and reprimand the superior. What company would hand over evidence that could cost them an expensive harassment suit?

So I agree in principle, but I also think our culture fails on imposing ownership of one's choices in nearly equal and opposite proportion to how much Asian countries overemphasize it.

And this came to a boiling point when a Chinese friend insisted the homeless situation was better in China. So I looked up the numbers. Adjusted for population, it isn't, and in fact it's slightly worse. That was a surprise to me. But it's less visible there because it's considered shameful.

I personally think everyone deserves a fully belly and a roof over their head. I think the rest is up to them. And I could go with medicare for all as an improvement over the current inequitable situation, but I think we could do better than that, yet I doubt we ever will. And that saddens me.
The features of an offline smart home could still support monitoring by the owner/landlord. The smart home's features could be independent islands of automation.

Just because there's no points, doesn't mean people don't get satisfaction from people replying to them, or having your thread stay at the top with lots of discussion.

Replying to threads bumps them to the top right? So having a thread high on the page is a similar signal as point rankings right?

the airplane did not have stable flight characteristics because of its physical design.

that’s a hardware problem.

MCAS only exists because of that hardware problem.

the fact that boeing also did not train or tell pilots about MCAS, in order to make the airplane more financially appealing by retaining the 737 type rating, is a separate (also bad) issue.
Honest question, I'm not trying to incite political discussions, but...

Can Google get out of this by sucking up to Trump? It appears that Trump is susceptible to flattery, and he also appears to play favorites.

The other viewpoint might be: can Google get a fair trial in the US court system? Trump has let the Federalist Society pick all the Federal judges he's nominated, as near as I can tell. Some of them haven't been very knowledgeable about the law. Or maybe, should the DoJ worry that its case won't get a very fair hearing at trial?

My point is that we're living in interesting times. Assumptions commonly made in the past just might not hold today, even in the US Court system.

Basically lifted straight from https://mywiki.wooledge.org/XyProblem. GreyCat's wiki is the best Bash resource in existence, but the first example is pretty typical for the IRC channel. There's really no reason to berate people. For example, lots of people have never or very rarely been exposed to anything other than three letter extensions (including most DOS/Windows users), and it's entirely possible that they were trying to do something which only involved three letter extensions. Not every script needs to be a completely generic solution.

Not suggesting either way but the logic is flawed. Presupposes desire to be hidden. Possible that the entire purpose is to gently assert presence.
How would you design your bureaucracy so that this kind of thing can't happen? I see this type of failure all the time in organizations big and small. Sometimes things are just too complex to have an auteur that can understand the entire system and when every department strives to optimize for its specific goal shit can really hit the fan.

This is true. We had to change our license from AGPL to Apache to make sure enterprise adoption was frictionless because there’s often a blanket ban on AGPL.

It goes back and forth, and the Democrats grabbed an early lead in Big Data to insure Obama's victory in 2012, but I think they seriously underestimate the ability of republican operators to catch up and game the existing system. They've been at this for decades and they play a very long game.

That's how Republican candidates can lose the popular vote yet win the electoral college. I see no sign of the Democrats playing catch-up for 2020 and I think they are in for a rude awakening despite our current leader's seemingly low numbers because that guy brings out his base.

For me it was slashdot and I let myself dive into it too much at work. I was in a very dissatisfying position at a company I loved when I started working for them but they went way downhill several years later. I was being paid but completely ignored for months at a time so I spent probably more than 70% of my day trying to get noticed on slashdot and thinking it was a viable substitute for actually accomplishing something.

When I moved on to better work I was able to leave it behind. HN is my only “social media“ now and I try to keep even it to a minimum.
Very true, and a concern for me.

However, many years ago, I went largely offline, as my meatspace identity. I still do some social media with family, but not in English. And for decades, my work was off the record, doing litigation support. I did edit expert reports and legal documents, but most of that isn't public. And in any case, the style is different.

But sure, if you blog and tweet as your meatspace identity, and then have ~anonymous personas using the same language, stylometry could nail you. There is software for protecting against that, however. And it's getting better too.
I have nothing against science for the sake of doing science, but I’m curious if there’s any wider impact for these results. I see a light atom and “nuclear charge radii”, so does this have anything to do with fusion research?

>the airplane did not have stable flight characteristics because of its physical design.

This is a gross oversimplification of the problem. In most of the flight envelope the aircraft is stable.

At high alpha the aircraft has pitch problems.

There are myriad ways to address this, and MCAS was one (bad) choice of many available to Boeing.
I drove cross country a few years ago. When I hit Barstow, I was struck by how many seemingly homeless were being sheltered in its motels and I spoke with a few of them. They were sent there from Los Angeles. There was trash everywhere as well. California is weird. Out of sight, out of mind I guess.
I find this quote very odd. I mean, 4% advantage in a winner take all economy can be the difference between boom and bust.

You got that right: After I got an Echo Dot, my daughter (35, married with a 3-year-old son) in Pittsburgh started saying "Alexa, buy diapers" whenever we were on speaker. Alexa would reply something to the effect of "Diapers added to list," and my daughter would laugh so hard. Drove me nuts, to the point where I unplugged my Echo Dot.
Sure, but take Santa Cruz: $66K median wage or so, but $900K or so median house price. Incredibly unaffordable despite being far cheaper than SF or San Jose, unless you clog its NIMBY constrained highway driving 25+ miles each way to your tech job in the valley. On the bright side, Amazon opened up a small office downtown, but that's nowhere near enough, and the weird local government does a lot to make the place unappealing to prospective businesses.

Merced OTOH is probably more of what you're thinking, and it has some really nice houses priced competitively with the suburbs of Dallas, but other than a new UC campus, there's not much else to recommend the place and it has a huge meth issue. But I do think the future of California is in places like this (and there are many more), but I have no idea how to make that future happen.
DBT has been a game changer for us, such an awesome tool.
It's not a precise timeframe nor a perfect correlation, but since Uber has been undercutting them there's been a trend to worse behaviour by cabs, with poor navigation and dishonesty around payments (keeping the meter running, disabling the regulation card payment devices etc).

I take your general point, although I'm not convinced the Warboys case is a reason to dislike Black cabs anymore than Harold Shipman is reason to dislike doctors!
No, the accident report mentions only a failure of the air speed indicator on the pilot side. The copilot and backup indicators were working, but the crew failed to recognize that.

GDPR requires this sort of "security and privacy by design" practice, but it's going to be a long time before there's any real widespread knowledge of how to do it, because it's actually really hard to do.

Really to be serious I would say that your concern is valid, but we shouldn’t be comparing this idea to perfection, because today we certainly don’t have perfection. Yes you are right that determining who gets housing is nontrivial. But who said collaborating across society was simple? Abstracting it all away to markets is far from ideal, don’t dismiss other proposals simply because they may not be easy.
GDPR/EU sounds like a natural control.
There's a lot of people (in the US at least) that see appreciating property values as inevitable. Combined with views associating dense housing with urban ghettos from the 80s, it's one of the reasons people think building more houses won't make them more affordable.
