> The top left portion of the image is redacted. Which suggests it was cleared for publishing.

That's a rather peculiar interpretation that begs new questions, given that it was an image that was shown to POTUS in a briefing. Why would his briefings use the cleared/redacted imagery and/or information? Is the IC redacting information from presidential briefings? And if so, why such a remarkable change? It's not as if the briefers expected Trump to be the one to actually publish the image; you'd hand the redacted materials off to the communications team(s) to publish as part of whatever messaging strategy was decided on.

> Lots of people saying this was not a good move by the USA to publish this image. But why? Yes, it's a fascinating image. But these high resolution capabilities are pretty well known and expected...

There are a couple of alarming concerns. First, it's confirmation of imaging capabilities, the satellite that was used to capture it, and can be used to extrapolate a lot of information about its tasking. Analysts can pull a lot of unexpected insights from something like this. Even when some of those insights (or at least the top-level ones) are "well known and expected," confirmation of those expectations is something altogether different and can have far-reaching implications. It lets them go back through previous information, sources, etc. and revise previous conclusions in light of that confirmation. What might confirmation of this satellite's capabilities and purpose mean about other satellites, based on other information foreign intelligence services already have? Perhaps nothing. Perhaps a great deal. We don't know, because we don't know what information they already have.

Second, what does this say about the current president and his handling of intelligence data? This isn't the first time Trump has apparently mishandled classified information and then defended himself by saying he has an "absolute right" to declassify information however he wants to. It's--arguably--the fourth known instance[0]. If you're an allied intelligence service, that's kind of terrifying and could have a chilling effect on cooperation. We also now know he's got one of his regular phones[1] with him during at least some of his briefings, and that he managed to take a photo during at least one of them. Plus, if staffers are routinely redacting information they show to Trump--if that's what this image is--that sends yet another very scary message about trustworthiness.

Politics aside, there are a lot of reasons why this is alarming to people.

The dirty secret of Silicon value is that actually, individuals are replaceable. What isn't replaceable is time and money. The cult of the Jerk is a defence mechanism to allow shit to continue to be shits.

Ask HN: What do you do when your reporting managers keep changing?
I have been in to marketing more specifically into internet marketing for last 10 years. I joined the current company one year back. Since then my reporting managers keep changing. What I noticed, all the reporting managers could either spent 3-4 months or max 6 months and they resigned. Honestly speaking they even once a while appreciated me saying " you should be the reporting manager not me".

I am unable to understand, why the management is unable to see this. Don't take me wrong - but I never say no to any problems at desk and solve it without any external help. The management calls me you are good at execution, but you are not a good fit for manager.

What am I missing or what am I doing wrong here? Please help me with your suggestions.

Thanks
Thank you! But without being able to compare it with chromium the results are meaningless to my brain.
You're right. Many things can be handled by packages, abstracting them away from the developer.

Of course, that's assuming the developer thinks far enough ahead to remember that they need authentication, decide how they want to handle it, figure out what they want for a CSP, and so on. Other things cannot be so readily handled. Authorization, for example, isn't a concern that can be bundled into a pre-fab function. It's something application-specific that has to be re-evaluated with every single web request and is going to be subject to unique business requirements.

Frameworks tend to handle these issues by setting out a set of conventions to adhere to, within which many of these concerns are handled for you to the extent possible. It's far from perfect, but it does a lot to reduce the chances of someone forgetting (for example) that forms need anti-CSRF tokens because their form-generation function doesn't do it for them or automatically work with the form-accepting and validating functions.

Or, to use example I've seen, the logging package's ignorance of what might be sensitive in the strings its been handed turns into secrets being sent to the centralized logging system and exposed to far more people than they should be. The developer didn't think about what might be in what they were logging, the package assumed that the developer did, and the result could have been avoided by a more integrated whole.

A culture of libraries instead of frameworks can mean that each project may have to make all the decisions a framework does all over again. Is everyone going to get it right every time?

I read a book by Eric Schmidt, can't remember the name. I remember reading him say that "the way interviews are conducted right now, if I wasn't in Google and was interviewed then I'd probably get rejected."
Kind of like the "no one ever got fired for recommending IBM", if you have significant downtime on Linode or Hetzner, people are going to ask "why weren't you on AWS?!". If you're on AWS and AWS goes down, you get to skip that question entirely. You were already using the logical choice, you don't need to defend anything.

If Netflix can go down when AWS goes down, so can your app. AWS outages impact so much of the Internet that people will just accept it.

Of course here I am with a site on Heroku which uses AWS... impacted by the AWS outage... fielding questions about why I didn't pick AWS if Heroku suffers outages like this. Can't please them all.
Not trying to compete in developed countries was probably a mistake. That could offer them more exposure and welcome funding.

Sorry, you're right. Sadly I cannot edit my comment since too long time has passed. I should of course tested with an added hard link. Vim does do the rename/unlink if there only is a single hard link to a file, which makes inotify behave different than expected, so my guess was that Vim would also be OK with breaking hard links. But it makes sense that it wouldn't, since hard links are a much more integral part of Unix.

$ echo 1 > test1
$ inotifywait --quiet --monitor test1 &
[1] 14321
$ vim -c 's/1/2/' -c x test1
$ cat test1
2
$ <no output from inotifywait>

With multiple hard links, the inode is preserved (only difference is adding the call to ln):

$ echo 1 > test1
$ ln test1 test2
$ inotifywait --quiet --monitor test1 &
[1] 14361
$ vim -c 's/1/2/' -c x test1
$ cat test1
2
test1 OPEN
test1 ACCESS
test1 CLOSE_NOWRITE,CLOSE

In that list, didn't you forget to mention something very important that's at the heart of this discussion?

A competitor or even google should have all those things _plus_ it should be legal.

Currently, it isn't. Either change the law or change the business model, but don't implement a business model that breaks the law and hope it will turn out fine in the end.

You can't have every business breaking laws it disagrees with, not even if some or most people disagree with that law.

TL;DR:

vlookup: (value to lookup, column to search, numbered column from the left, yes/no use range)

xlookup: (value to lookup, array to search, value to return array)

You can also replace hlookup with xlookup. Two optional arguments are 4) exact match or not and 5) go up or down or use binary search. I guess binary search would require a sorted array and improve speed?

xlookup seems obviously better in retrospect. I wonder if they had any reason not to implement it earlier.

Essentially I'm wondering at what point that isn't fast enough to avoid combustion.

Since it consists of densely packed nanotubes, I'm guessing that oxygen will be in short supply deep down where the light is converted, so it might need to be close to the point where the heat is high enough to disintegrate a nanotube.

I'd imagine that's be a rather high temperature.

From what I was told, Amtrak is legally/contractually entitled to right of way on such track, but the freight companies basically don't care.

This is wrong. Amtrack has a subordinate lease to almost all of the freight lines it leases access to, meaning that they have lower priority to the lines than the cargo trains. Acela is the only Amtrack route in the nation that might have priority over cargo trains sharing the rails.

The Raft paper has a full section on understandability, and comes with a TLA+ spec.

I am baffled that a serious effort at producing papers that are understandable and implementable is dismissed as a “social phenomenon”. Deliberately obscure papers are bad, sloppy science, not a clever signaling mechanism.

As pointed out elsewhere in the conversation and indeed in revised editions of the Paxos paper, it does not even break new ground and is equivalent to the earlier view management protocol.

I've complained about Linux's uptime calculation many times (combining cpu and io blocking into one measure makes it impossible to interpret!). I think I was missing two things to come up with this solution:

* A flash of insight to take the specific number of threads out of the picture. (And it's become particularly irrelevant since systems now have a mix of blocking and non-blocking programs, and ever higher concurrency, so radically different thread counts for the same work. Maybe that's part of your answer; that range has expanded over time.)

* The belief I could / willingness to get something like this merged into the kernel. Besides the inherent difficulty of kernel programming (significant but surmountable), the Linux kernel community is not regarded as welcoming... Maybe this is changing. We'll see if Linus's new attitude lasts.

That's an invalid comparison. The stomach is controlled mostly by the autonomic nervous system, as it is in all vertebrates. You aren't comparing like with like. Same for the blink reflex, breathing etc.

It is valid to compare vocalisation between species. Humans have it mostly under voluntary, conscious control. We do sometimes make sounds unconsciously or involuntarily, but it's not often. It's very likely the same considerations are at play for most vertebrates as well. Dogs clearly bark, growl, whine in response to what's going on around them. As well as screaming in pain if you e.g. accidentally stand on their paws while wearing heavy boots. It's almost certainly consciously controlled, because you can tell them to be quiet! I found it quite funny when I told mine to shut up after growling and barking for a while at stuff going on outside; the odd mini-growl showed they were trying to keep a lid on it not entirely successfully!

Neurologically, the essentials of the nervous system are almost entirely the same in higher vertebrates. Some things are more elaborated in some species, but the fundamentals are pretty much identical. There's even a large amount of similarity with invertebrates like insects. Which makes sense when you consider that all animal life has a common ancestor. I would be extremely surprised if vocalisation wasn't entirely voluntary in every single vertebrate species. I'm sure there's some behavioural and learned component to it, of course, but that's rather different than whether it's voluntary or not.

‘Socialist Bromance’: From ideology to internet memes
The best help young, inexperienced, energetic folks can be is to follow someone who is aged, experienced, and lacking bandwidth. Romantic notions aside, young people are not particularly equipped to lead, and would do better to watch a leader work for a while instead of trying to dive in themselves.

Go find a group that actually has a mission and help them, rather than searching for a problem to solve. Plenty of animal shelters, churches, and soup kitchens would love a group of hands to help.

If your program specifically requires you to lead something, create a program to coordinate causeless volunteers with organizations that need them.

Good luck to them, I hope they fail.

Contrary to this person's blog, doctors of the 19th century knew the difference between croup and diptheria, and used syrup of Ipecac to treat croup. Example from this manual of 1897 (for spasmodic croup):

He mentions putting leeches on the larynx earlier on.

If you look at something like the Merck Manual of 1899, a modern doctor would have a great deal of trouble finding any pills that he would be comfortable prescribing today. In Anne's time (the 1870s), doctors -- extremely learned and studied individuals, even compared to today's standards -- still killed more people than they saved.

I moved away from Dropbox years ago, after it pissed me off on Windows (basically, the Windows client was ludicrously inefficient, and there were constant sync conflicts).

I switched to Seafile, backed by Azure blob storage - so much better than Dropbox. The Windows client barely uses any CPU, sync conflicts only occur when I'd expect them to, and of course you can sync files regardless of whether they are in a fixed "Dropbox" folder.

I have Seafile and Minio running in containers, so it was super-easy to setup, and is a doddle to upgrade too.

Haven't looked back!
If you have that little faith in Dropbox why are you even using it?

And how do you imagine that it would happen that Dropbox would randomly trash the contents of your files? And if it was that buggy why the bug be limited to just the files in your ~/Dropbox/? By that argument you might as well say that it could trash any file owned by your user. And if you believe Dropbox to be likely to have such serious bugs, why just Dropbox and not other software you are using? For example Chromium or Firefox? Or any other piece of software?

Seems less like a serious concern and more like trying to think up any imaginable thing that could conceivably go wrong no matter how unlikely.

A part of open source is the ability to make changes if you dislike something, or something is broken/missing.

Well, it is absolutely true that Uber and Lyft are unique. That’s their entire philosophy, to be different than what has come before.

But in doing so, they open themselves to the following reasoning: “Just as they bring a new and hitherto unique model for transportation companies, they also bring a new and hitherto unique model for employer-employee relationships.”

They are by definition unicorns, so while the courts may rule that their drivers are contractors, if they were to rule that the drivers are employees, it seems appropriate to accept that its relationship with its employees would also be unique.
most of the “port clojure to X” that I’ve seen are just top level syntax and don’t port the functional data structures over. Without those, I don’t see the point.

You should do brainstorming sessions with your team where you diverge and then converge.

What I mean is:

1) get a white board/wall, post-its, and markers.

2) have everyone, independent of each other, write ideas on post-its and put on the wall. Don't judge ideas, just put them. Lots of them. Don't put your names on the ideas.

3) when you literally run out of steam, which could be a couple of hours later or even more, as a team start discarding ideas that don't make sense or work for your team.

4) you may have to do this a few times so that you get a feel for the process.

In the end you should have some really good ideas that you as a team have agreed upon.
