This is great intel - sorry it had to come with such painful experience.

Does anyone know if Open Distro for ElasticSearch (https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch/) has these problems? Or is it related to how AWS configures/maintains ES on their platform?

They still do implement DNS blocks for less commonly visited websites. Turkey does blocking at multiple layers ranging from street terminators to central gateways.
SQL is not that hard. And the very slight amount of analytical rigor needed to atomize data, normalize data, and think about relationships between data, makes you smarter, gives you many more options for slicing & dicing the data, and if you have a a proper RDMS, it runs faster'n shit. Parsing/serializing/deserializing JSON blobs, not so much.
I understand the concept, but still wary. First, this means people have a proxy to sell their vote (il give you my 500 dollar boucher for 100 cash), second it spends more money in campaigns than naturally.

There are central premises of democracy at stake here. If monetizing political power is good then we ahouls build a way to sell votes directly.
When someone says they want to work in Perl6/Raku, they likely have vastly different problems than someone using Erlang/Elixer. There is overlap of course (both general purpose), but I can't imagine using Erlang for scripting, while Raku is first class here.
i live in istanbul/turkey, and i read most of the comments. the solutions provided ( dns, telegram, other mediums to use etc... ) seems practical but you are missing one thing, that part of the turkey, just started to use tools like twittter, fb, etc.. they don't have same knowledge as we in istanbul.

Blocking twitter, fb, and other tools, was their only chance to get information. i don't say all the information on those platforms are %100 correct but still, they are better then government provided.

Also imagine that, people on that area are just close to the border, yesterday two bombs dropped and 9 people died, 48 people injured and that is just the beginning. there was only social media for them to speak out now they don't. I don't usually follow the press but just because this is a fckng war, i read some news and articles. I can say that, if those people don't distribute the news or stuff happening there, I'm pretty sure the world will not know what is going on there and they will continue to create their own stories.

Yes, but to couch Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division as a phone number you call to get your money is not how it works.

Nearly 50% are denied after a 6 month process on average. Like disability claims or VA claims or immigration application...or any other administrative legal action, you generally need a lawyer to navigate through the process successfully.

There are static site generators written in Python you could use to publish a blog, like Pelican (https://blog.getpelican.com/) and Lektor (https://www.getlektor.com/). But yeah, if you want software that works like WordPress and generates pages dynamically on the fly, I'm not sure there's any good Python-based alternatives.

> If you thought Perl was a bad language, PHP is way, way worse

In fairness to PHP, it's a lot better today than it used to be. (Though modern PHP would probably strike a Pythonista as too Java-ish.) And WordPress has had tons of engineering resources poured into it for a decade-plus now, whereas Movable Type has been maintained on a relative shoestring due to its fall from popularity.
No, if someone expects me to waste two days of my time on a nonsensical code challenge or interview, I tell them to shove it.

Diligence is needed for bad investments, not good ones.

I would also assume that the ideal investment would be zero due diligence in a unicorn. Any serious due diligence will affect the unicorn negatively, lowering end price.

I would expect a good unicorn to have strong antibodies against wasting time providing due diligence data. Maybe leading to an over-diligent VC missing out on the one investment they actually needed.
you seem to be assuming it's such an utterly genius idea that they had to have stolen it as opposed to just coming up with it by themselves

That is related to this: https://twitter.com/hashtag/securitymechanism?src=hashtag_cl...

The agreement was supposed to protect the Kurdish groups from a Turkish offensive by de-escalating the areas that the US had deemed "safe", while providing an umbrella of US control.

Trump then disgustingly yanked the umbrella away and let the Turks have at it.
It's exactly what I expected, and I regret trying it.
The hypothesis is that abortion causes lower crime rates. Thus, a few or even a single counter-example is enough to invalidate the hypothesis. Data points that confirm the hypothesis doesn't add much new information since these results too could be caused by the same confounding variables that caused the first result (correlation doesn't imply causation).

Yes, it was the Soviet union and other Eastern European countries that had liberal abortion laws which they then reversed to spur population growth that I referred to. If Donohue and Levitt's theory were correct, the generation born during the years abortion was legal would be less criminal than following generations.
Yes, and also one where performance isn't a huge requirement (it's improving).

> just give me ISO8601 dates, please; HackerNews, you, too!

Strongly seconding. It's an annoying UX antipattern, especially as it loses precision over time ("28 minutes ago" is fine, but "yesterday" or "5 days ago" or - even worse - "2 years ago" is not; having the date specified to hours or minutes is actually useful, especially in context of a site with international audience). Doubly so on HN, which doesn't even bother with giving the actual date/time in the tooltip, which is the usual cop out (not an actual solution, since there are no tooltips on mobile).
Perl 6 / Raku introduces so many new constructs that is almost an entirely new language.

I wrote a subroutine macos python to do the opposite.

On macos, requests is not included (although it can be installed with a little effort), but curl was there.

Note that you can easily automate interacting with a web page using the developer menus in safari and firefox.

monitor the network requests, then for the request you're interested in, use "copy as cURL'. You can copy/paste that to invoke curl in the same way the web page used it.

This attitude is insane and why so many people refuse to have kids.
Great point that solar efficiency is almost irrelevant to food's efficiency or pollution. The sun is shining anyway, whether or not we use it. Better to do anything with it than not. For that matter, CO2 is a big problem but not the only problem. I have no idea how electric and food compare there.

Regenerative braking is fantastic as an idea, but it does not actually offset the mass in practice. Tesla's regen braking has all kinds of limits - 64% electric conversion efficiency right off the top, but it also caps the regen rate, it doesn't regen when it's too cold, and regen can't recapture a/c or air friction losses, which actually add up to the majority of a car's power consumption for highway driving. I backed that up with data nearby. Regenerative braking is a great example of how cherry-picking efficiency percentages from the components of a system doesn't really help us understand the overall system efficiency.

Anyway, I don't know what the end-to-end system efficiency of food is, and to be honest I'm skeptical of anyone who claims to, the few stats we have are already gross approximations that tend to lose their context and their error bars. Combining them is extra problematic. My really one and only point is that the scales are pre-tipped 20:1 because of the mass on the consumption end, so no matter what happens in between, in order for the scales to balance, the complete end-to-end efficiency of electric system plus electric car manufacturing combined has to be more than twenty times that of food + bike manufacturing. No matter how good electric is, the savings are very much hampered by automobile manufacturing and by power generation. So it's just not that likely that the complete system for e-cars is a factor of 20 more efficient. There are multiple parts of the process that are the same or worse.
We needed to beat the russians to the moon, it was part of the cold war effort, as much as I agree with these ideals they need to be tempered in reality and politics. We have no comparable political need for space exploration today.

There is a lot to criticize WeWork for, but this isn't one of those things. Those leasehold improvements are the reason that people are customers of WeWork (i.e. they take old staid buildings and make them great offices.) It's literally their only meaningful point of differentiation from competitors.
I think he's saying that a casual visit to the office wouldn't have displayed anything incriminating, and the business plan was typical beyond the huge capital requirements. And startups are overly rosy about future revenue all the time. So there weren't a lot of "red flags" in the beginning, although he goes on to describe a lot of discrepancies later.

Clearly most companies don't engage in fraud though, or at least they're better at not getting caught.
No, it's not obvious. dangerface was talking about highly secretive projects.

Your statement was only "if we had a relatively small fusion reactor".

Nothing in what you wrote marked the transition from having a highly secretive small fusion reactor to one which was being 'rolled out for use to replace power plants'.

Please don't be so snide. I'm not completely ignorant.

I mentioned those strategic stockpiles because they were the ones I knew about, from years ago. I also know about Quebec's maple syrup reserves because of the theft a few years back.

And, the "any" in your statement "any of it's various strategic stock piles" typically means all of them, not some of them. Which is why I asked for clarification. And the National Helium Reserve is still around, making it is a valid example.
1. We changed a configuration parameter, which we thought would be a no-op but caused a deploy

There’s not much of a point to life, so you might as well choose to be happy and chase after pleasurable stimuli. The silver lining to toiling at a career is that it gives you the funding to chase greater and greater stimuli and with less effort. As long as you keep your body healthy the climax of your life will be that much greater. If your career is not doing that for you come up with a new strategy or get a new career, but never change the goal.
In my opinion, it's not about amount of time available, it's about scheduling. There seems to be a real aversion in the current generation to committing to doing stuff at a specific date/time. Try to plan an event and get people to promise to show up. Even if they enjoy the event, and know that they will be free, they'll still balk at making that promise.

Perhaps people feel that if they commit in advance, they'll miss out if something more interesting pops up. But nothing more interesting pops up when the day comes around, and you end up watching TV because nobody would commit.
Sounds dumb, but typical for CA. I think it's dangerous to have pervasive, Chinese-style always on face recognition surveillance. But I see no problem whatsoever with face recognition on body cams, because the officer is actually there, and if they could recognize faces well, they would. The cam is just providing an assist - even trained humans are pretty terrible at matching against a large number of faces.

Even if the system doesn't work super well now, systems like these improve as they are fed more data and told when they guessed wrong. That's why it's called "machine learning".
To the degree that they have money and that money is power.
EasyGit data are encrypted by Apple. So it is on par with using KeyBase or GitHub. I give you that it is not the same as rolling your own crypto, but I was replying to a comment about KeyBase.
Assuming you mean rename the next version of a programming language — I think that’s a horrible idea. The entire point of continuing with the previous name is that eventually the community will move onto the new language. I’m guessing Perl 6 made too many incompatible changes from Perl 5 though I don’t know much about them.

More than that. I wrote my first machine learning project in Perl.

Perl 5 is better than Python in many ways, but worse in other ways. Raku seems to have none of the downsides Perl 5 had, but all of the upsides. Raku looks like it could be a valid replacement for Python in the ML space.

Also, back then, Perl 5 had better libraries than Python. Though, that was quite a while ago.
