> Right and the government is paying me to say this on HN of all places.

Straw man. No one has accused you of this.

> You do not have the freedom of speech to threaten others.

You have defined freedom of speech in a way that merely assists your argument. No one should expect the freedom you describe.

> Checks and balances in the united states is a check written as a bribe

Undefended baseless hyperbolic claim.

> slaughter of millions of innocent civilians during wartime is excused with a couple of decades

Straw man. I made it clear that this act is definitive of the USA just as Chinese government's present day actions are definitive of it.

> The LGBT person above feared for his life. That's next level brain washing right there.

No idea what you're talking about.

In summary, your thread rapidly devolved into a political flame war, I am sorry to have ever engaged with you, and I am done now.
There is no such thing that raw/vanilla js is unmaintable, what is unmaintainable is stuff that breaks regulary and vanilla/raw js never(almost?) breaks.
Naming your company "We" sure leads to some grammatically awkward and confusing sentences:

We now expects an IPO valuation far lower than the $47 billion price it got in a January funding round.

We said the new structure was created in part to make it easier to expand into new businesses beyond co-working, according to IPO filings.

"Does anyone really think 17 bots on Twitter tweeting messages in Chinese is going to change this?"

Try 17 thousand or 17 million bots, Tweeting in English.

This is also only a small fraction of what they are actually doing. If you take a look at many new movies coming out in the US, many are financed by a Chinese company.

They have also started buying major stakes in media companies, like Reddit.

The strange thing about the Hong Kong protests is that I can't seem to find any balanced coverage of it and I almost saw no coverage of it here on major US television networks.
Sonic.net's gigabit option is extremely limited - they only have DSL in most of the bay area. I think they also force a phone on you?

I agree in general though, it's even more annoying when you try and find details about the cap and have to keep reading copy from Comcast about why "those who use more should pay more".
You need residency to register a car. Also, if you purchase a car out of state it doesn’t matter. The taxes get levied when you register it.
I mean my personal take on it is that if you don't have a most basic understanding of control theory, you won't understand what your monitoring system is telling you nor will you know how to programmatically react to it.

In fact, I have a perfect counter example. At reddit, to even out load on our databases, we built a system that would take into account current load on the database when choosing which read slave to select. As it turns out, this doesn't work well, because you overwhelm the slave with the lowest load because the the reaction time is too slow compared to the request time. We had to tweak it to account for this.

Had we known control theory, we would not have made this mistake. On the other hand, that mistake didn't cause us that much damage and we were able to devise a solution that ended up being right. :)
Thank you for the links.

BTW: I am not sure why this question is down voted. At least here in Europe this was not real news so it was an honest questions. The FSF site did not explain the why.
Here is a link to the study the article references published today:

> More recently the major RDBMS vendors have complemented SQL with directives that address the storage and handling of hierarchical data

Oracle could do that 30 years ago, and recursive CTEs are part of SQL:1999.
It's important information, yes. But it is paramount to have law enforcement involved which didn't seem to happen until later. That's when they can follow up with the company to gather evidence about what took place.
That would just obscure the lie. I'd rather see an explicit `as T` cast at the call site to make the "trust me, typechecker, I know what shape this is" claim be in-your-face instead of hidden behind a type parameter.

(This reply assumes you're not asking for TypeScript to make a major philosophical shift and start generating runtime code to validate types. If you are, that's a discussion worth having but goes way deeper than `JSON.parse`.)
2 paragraphs out of 21 mentioned Trump, 2-3 mentioned politics otherwise.
You're extrapolating quite a bit from a simple comment, which tells me that you'd probably be a poor manager as well. Then again, I'm extrapolating quite a bit as well.

Seeing something like JSON.parse throughout the code is definitely a code smell and could decrease the maintainability of the codebase, and that's a very tangible problem. Obviously you shouldn't fire someone over something like this if it's the first offense, but it definitely raises red flags and should make you monitor things a little more closely. If they show a pattern of dogmatism and poor judgement, you're probably better off finding someone else with better judgement. You're not going to find a perfect employee, but some employees are just better at making decisions for a larger project than others.
Denver is very much in bed with Comcast. It is after all Comcast's major headquarters. I would bet DEN is that last domino to fall once all other CO cities implement municipal internet.
Intent matters. The phrase "parent corporation" has no PR or emotional intent. "Welcoming X to Y family" has a clear emotive intent.

Could you add more detail as to why parent's opinion is important to you? E.g. what was your story with Dwarf Fortress UI?
We have one dataset we would very much like to delete (discontinued product) but are required by a different EU law to keep. GDPR now also means that we have to provide that data to our customers if they request a copy of all the data we hold on them.
Well, I'm inclined to agree with that claim...
It's bad cosmetic. The predominant style is "const int", following the English adjective before noun.

> Suddenly the big three could have diesel trucks that perform 10% better on fuel economy because California isn't forcing EGR crap down their throats.

I can't find any definitive evidence that exhaust gas recirculation reduces fuel economy, though a sourced statement on wikipedia says there was a 3% drop in fuel economy when EGR was first introduced. Quora[1] also doesn't mention anything about EGR lowering fuel economy.

Regardless, environmental regulations are done for a reason. Reducing NOx is a very good thing.

The point is probability. The probability of someone having these gaps from a top 50 school is way lower than one without a degree.
We're not talking about the concept of national sovereignty here, we're talking about a concept derived from self-governed British colonies, which generally ran themselves unless the crown needed to step in for some reason.

This is the concept at play at the municipality level that is being discussed. The cities run themselves unless the state has to step in for some reason. Just as the states run themselves unless the federal government needs to step in for some reason.

This is as opposed to say, a village, which in New England at least is defined as a population center which is not self-governed, but under the direct control of a larger municipality within which it lies.
Let's check those sources.

1) "A brief history of agile methods" asserts:

1958 — Project Mercury (NASA) software development, ran with half-day iterations.

The only thing that looks like it could be intended as evidence for that assertion is the Larman and Basili article.

2) "Rockets before Rovers" asserts:

Project Mercury did half-day iterations with test first development!

The only thing that looks like it could be intended as evidence for that assertion is the Larman and Basili article.

3) So there only seems to be one source — Larman and Basili "Iterative and Incremental Development: A Brief History" — which asserts:

"Project Mercury ran with very short (half-day) iterations that were time boxed." page 2

[pdf] http://www.craiglarman.com/wiki/downloads/misc/history-of-it...

Where's the evidence for that assertion?

afaict the Larman and Basili article does not provide a source as evidence for that assertion?

So we're left with nothing.
Having sex with someone who is consenting, and is able to give informed consent, is neither assault nor rape "in the English language".

In law it depends on the jurisdiction. As I mentioned, having sex with someone underage does not necessarily constitute rape though is usually constitutes "sexual assault".

The USA are rather conservative with both a relatively 'old' age of consent and statutory rape laws. This can lead to ridiculous situations like labeling someone "rapist" just for having consensual sex with a 17 year old...

One issue, which might have been part of Stallman's point, is that people tend to want to use only black and white terms in all circumstances, even when the reality is much more nuanced.
Well I guess this means that if you have a 1k+ lines of static JSON, it would be better if you consider converting it to a string and use JSON.parse instead.

I'm not sure I can find a use case of such a big object declaration. Usually what you do is to get it from somewhere ( file, db - with nodejs, xhr ) where it's been parsed with JSON.parse anyway.
the fact that some people break laws does not imply that we should not have them.
JSON.parse won't parse a function call/literal. Direct injection would.

Some smart people do have Asperger's, per a professional diagnosis.

It does not help those people to just take anyone who acts weird but seems smart and say "they probably have Asperger's."

Mental disorders should be taken seriously. That means helping and accommodating people who suffer from disorders, including Asperger's. But it also means resisting the temptation to invent pop diagnoses in order to excuse behavior that would otherwise be objectionable.
This is why in a lot of writing names of organizations and publications often get contrasting style in the text. Name in italicized text is romanized, or the opposite.

eg:

or

> We now expects...

Because... yes. It can produce some ridiculous results

My Grand Unifying Theory of Explaining Agile Proselytizers™ is "if it's not working, you're doing it wrong". True Agile always works.

Oh, and it has more-frequent check-ins/iterations than Waterfall (which is the defining aspect of Waterfall: fewer check-ins/iterations than Agile). The actual frequency is undefined, it exists only in comparison to Waterfall.

---

The problem is that that kind of stance does nothing but fluff up agile consultant's resumes. It doesn't actually lead to improvements that last, or even discussion that might lead to improvements. Agile is perfect because it's Agile.
I think you were just trying to divide and conquer. It's hard to compete with twins! ;)
It is industrialized in case of dictatorships pushing propaganda. Normal people don't do it on such scale.
Sounds like you're talking about WiMax. I was briefly on WiMax in Bellevue, WA, but the service sucked, not sure if it was the tech itself or their infrastructure...
This is just one of many examples of congress delegating it's law making duty to the executive -- normally so it can avoid any responsibility for it's actions. If the policy is not popular they blame the executive, the policy is successful they point to their delegation of power.

Hopefully, we'll see congress take back the reigns more and if anything delegate things to the states and instead of the executive.

The common excuse is that the expertise lies in the executive so they should control the rules. This can be easily answered by allowing the executive to draft the rules, but to have congress involved whenever they're changed.
I'll have to second this. None of the accounts who belligerently responded look to be obvious bots or otherwise committed trolls. It looks like your account caught the attention of several news organizations, which means their tweets to you would have been seen by their followers. Or anyone checking out the "vs138" hashtag.
Agreed, some websites are really reticent about scraping.
But let's think about Google, they are scraping the whole web regardless of the ToS of the websites, so it all boils down to one question : do you create value for the website owner ?
That's why we want to focus on use-cases where we create value for both, our users and the website owner. If you think about Yodlee/Plaid in the banking sector, they built partnerships with the Banks but continued scraping them because most of them didn't provide an API.

This has been hypothesised for a while and is listed in many pregnancy books. There are also hypothesis linking the difference in gut flora to other long term outcomes (obesity, autism etc) in adults.

Or even a single code sample? It sounds like they've decided simply that "the international standard will be called 'GQL'" but they have no idea what the language will be (or they're keeping it a secret, which would be even more troubling).
Is there a place to report errors? I've just skimmed through and the pdf has some possible formatting bugs: tables inside code blocks, page breaks splitting the tops of code blocks, small things like that.
Or the purchase was made online. I had that happen to me. I was in Detroit. A couple of weeks later an online purchase was made (from Detroit) and flagged.

The problem is not too many choices. It's actually the lack of choice. Each series is going to a different streaming platform which means we have to pick up more stream services
Absolutely correct, but OP only talked about issues related to agriculture.

And I get a blank screen on ios -- you know the platform that close to half the US mobile phone population in the US use and way more than half of middle and upper income households use.

So do none of the "people you know" use iOS devices?
>I am glad that you are not asking for or wanting its removal because it reminds you of bad things.

I am glad you are glad.

.su was made because of USSR. USSR collapsed. .su should be removed because the reason it was made does not exists any more. Logic is simple.
Didn't IA go through the bother to legally become a library, allowing all kinds of digital lending?

The last time this came up on HN, I was able to find the information. But it doesn't Google doesn't seem to want to share any information with me about it right now. Maybe because it's older than six minutes.
I introduced myself, told them about my background/experience. [Hyper relevant to the field, with architectural experience of services with 10-100X the amount of traffic of the IA wayback machine got (probably), working around mechanical HD latencies on a very large scale, etc.]

No response. So, I went on to my largest pet peeve: The insanely bad response times for the IA wayback machine.

I got temporarily kicked from the channel for that.

After that I didn't really have the motivation to go back there.

(And yeah their page load times are still ridiculous, like 15 years after the launch, for the archive.)
Any drop in gas prices is typically followed by an increase in purchases of gas inefficient vehicles.
This bothers me a lot as well.

For some reason I also get different subtitle options on my phone than I do my television despite both being on the same network (no vpn).

I also hate that they offer a show with audio in the original language, but no subtitles for the same language. So you have to be either mostly fluent or forced to watch the dubbed version.
We are seeing something like this playing out with coal. Despite the administration's attempts to bolster coal, plants have to plan for multiple decades away, and so they are generally getting shuttered all the same.

PSD2 has requirements on "strong customer authentication" basically requiring 2-factor, that were meant to come into force on Saturday the 14th of September just passed, but ended up being delayed at the last minute in most countries.

Interstate commerce belongs to congress (Not the president!). Congress has allowed California to ban registration of cars that do not meet their emissions standards (other states are allows to take California's standards, but are not allowed to make their own). California can constitutionally create their own standards for cars made or sold in California, but because they are part of the US they have to register a car you bought in any other state which means their standards hurt local dealers.

Note that there has always been an exception to the rules: if you are out of state and your car it totaled you can buy a new non-California car and register it in California.
TypeScript has great type inference, but there's no way to get it to parse JSON strings at type-checking time.
Right, and so the Fed is suing them.
If you are going through the front door, it will matter. Your resume has to make it through some filters before the hiring manager sees it, and they might have their own filters.

If you only get jobs by referral, it doesn't matter.
It's telescope 2.0. Not physics 2.0.
Er, what? The language is not what is breaking here, your application is. If you try to build a complex stateful application with no frameworks, you will more than likely create an unmaintainable buggy mess. You won't be able to reliably add new features without breaking something else.
This shows such a comical level of incompetence from Iowa's state admin that it borders on malicious.

I think 95%+ of opinions are directly regurgitated from others, but we humans mistake our own novelty with the idea for the idea actually being original.

Thinking about my teenage years, I'd often see a documentary and then "come up" with concepts it covered a week or two later.

Similarly, I think one of the biggest issues with "bot influencers" is that the average human is not good at thinking for themselves and regurgitates whatever they agree with/protects the ego. The online activity of many technology-naive middle aged users gradually becomes indistinguishable from the bots they follow.
Having sex with a coerced child is abuse by any definition.

Can you find a definition that says sex with coerced children isn't abuse?
I agree. I was expecting something about protocol buffers or a binary based representation of JSON.
He does contradict himself. Also, while that may be the example they used, the greater context of the story implies this isn't limited to President Trump. Yeah, it could have used a not-Trump example as well, but I wouldn't say that makes it rise to the level of "hit piece"
Like so many studies about bias and heuristics, this one probably does not generalize well beyond trivial tasks. I trust that the research was executed well, but I doubt the results say anything definite, other than that in trivial tasks performance can't be increased by increasing rewards.

Examples of the "work tasks" in the studies are: adding numbers and tapping a key as fast as possible. You can probably imagine quite well that it's very easy to hit your maximum performance in these tasks and you can't do much to exceed it no matter what the reward. It seems a bit simplistic to use these studies to claim that bonuses can't increase quality.

The article also completely disregards that bonuses can be used to improve principal-agent alignment, and probably many other factors that are apparent in the more complex, real world that exists beyond tapping a key as fast as possible.
Privacy is dead because technology enables ubiquitous surveillance and economics and politics drive it to the limit.

I don't like it and I'm not advocating it, but the question of what a truly, deeply post-privacy society will be like is fascinating.

A very important question is whether or not the administrators of the system were subject to it as well.
I eagerly await the "quantum web".

Wait.. patent pending. There's probably an unreasonably large some of money to be made being able to sell that label to unwitting trend-hoppers.
Right. Also, at the rate solar installation prices are plummeting, it'll be a fraction of the cost in 20 years.
It's probably more that you have 20 years of experience than the lack of degree that is holding you back with those companies.
Articles can be written in such a way as to imply meaning that's not specifically stated, and this is one example.

Luckily we have experts who have thoroughly debunked this NAMBLA recruiting point. And this point has no relevance to the topic, which is about a child who was coerced into sex against her will.
Seeing such a contraption makes me remember that "digital" stuff is actually natural laws of electricity, and whatnot, being applied to computer. It also makes me think of one day the biological computers that will come about, and how people will think it's crazy to "make" a computer when you can just grow one.
It’s even worse than that. Consider

This admits neither Functor nor Contravariant. Sadly all you can say is “If you can map, it’s a functor.”
