Well, yes - this deportation happened and is one of the many dark moments in USSR history. Glad you brought this up - difficult to write the entire history of the region on hn. The history of the Pontic Greeks and then later, Italian city states, in the Black Sea is really fascinating.

This is a pretty decent English language history of the area:

>The author perhaps underestimates the bottom 90%, who are written off as politically irrelevant [...] but we are only one true crisis away from that changing. [...] When crops and supply chains fail and famine kicks in, who is going hungry?

Regarding the first point, some people have noticed that food price changes can lead to revolts [1], but I'm not sure that says anything about the political power of the bottom 90% nor whether those revolts would lead to meaningful change. I imagine any food revolt in the US would mirror the Revolutions of 1848 [2].

> Won't the winner be the one who just takes AlphaGo's recommended move every time without changing anything?

No. Consider this scheme.

I take my copy of AlphaGo and for a full year, I'll build a database of all opening positions AlphaGo is willing to explore. I'll rank these opening positions from "best" (Black-wins with most consistency) to "worst" (White-wins with most consistency).

I'll put all of this information into a 16TB database on a singular, $400 16TB Hard drive, and load it into my computer during the contest. https://www.newegg.com/p/1Z4-002P-015K6

If you dare to pick AlphaGo's best move, you will lose. Because I already know which moves AlphaGo will take, and I already checked to find all of the positions AlphaGo wants to play (but loses anyway).

The only way you can equalize the field is if you yourself ALSO build a 16TB database to consult and override AlphaGo's instincts during the game. If you see AlphaGo wanting to play "losing position #6234115", you'll tell AlphaGo to "search harder" and find another move instead.

Good luck.
Because supposedly it is self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. The amount of emissions correlate strongly to that pursuit of happiness at least for now — you only see extremely low per-capita emissions in extremely underdeveloped countries.

Meanwhile, “all miles driven are created equal” said no one ever.
Yup, agreed. My point is that I find it easier to talk a defeatist into a somewhat proactive security practitioner (everything is hackable but the point is to deter, delay, and mitigate, not outright stop all attacks), but it's a lot harder to talk a security absolutist into backing down because their initiatives are a net negative.

Also, the nuanced posture can look like the defeatist attitude if you don't pay attention to the details —and, on the flip side, you need to pay attention to those same details to tell a proactive attitude from security theatre.
A more honest way of doing these maps would be to assign universal and transparent territory codes for claimed divergent maps.

Of course honesty would defeat the point of the legitimacy propaganda aspect as it would make the politics of it abundantly clear.

Public Data should be open and anyone can run their own policies on integrating crowdsourced changes.

One company hosting the data centrally is responsible for dealing with multiple parties and figuring out a resolution. Often the parties have little recourse but to fine it or block it.

We see similar issues when Facebook is blasted by Germany for not censoring a post and by the Trump administration for censoring a similar post. The guys in their boiler room use Google Translate to see if a post in another language is offensive, which is ironic since Facebook is using a Google tool internally.

A more pointed example is when the SESTA / FOSTA bill was passed last year to require platforms to police child pornography being posted and the EFF and other free speech advocates were actually up in arms about it, saying that puts undue burdens on facebook and other platforms which are far too big.

The problem is why are they too big? Because they run all the software and don’t give it to us. And open source software isn’t good enough to compete with what they have. Look at HN, it is able to add whatever rules it needs to police stuff, and runs on Arc.

That’s why Wordpress, Magento, OSM are so important. Eventually they will copy everything the centralized players have and you can CUSTOMIZE them with a marketplace of plugins. Like how the Web replaced AOL.

We need REAL open source alternatives to facebook. What are they today?

I think it's very difficult to come up with accurate objective measurement methods (nobody's done it well yet). The best assessments tend to be subjective teacher-based assessments (for similar reasons as to why hiring tends to be done by subjective personal assessment - it's hard if not impossible to define the criteria for "good" upfront. Someone may approach things in a completely different way that nobody had thought to measure). And this is before you get into the biases of the people drawing up the assessment criteria etc.

>It was in the food

Which was in the air in the past few months to handful of years depending on how fresh the food is and what it is (plant, animal). Unlike the CO2 from fossil fuels which was sequestered for millions of years. And had that not been harvested for food, it would have sat their being decomposed in a field somewhere returning that carbon right back into the atmosphere via animals and bacteria snacking on it as they broke it down.
Less teenage pregnancy is good because teenage pregnancy is associated with poor outcomes for the children and parents in that environment.
A fair angle of criticism, but while I'm no expert, I feel fairly confident asserting (with no proof of course) that "the media", with few exceptions, routinely reports on complex matters in a way that is extremely misleading.

Granted, this is not entirely their fault, not by a long shot. They are tasked with conveying extremely complex information to the masses, at a level that is understandable to some sort of lowest common denominator, using human created languages that optimize for pragmatism (and are therefore flawed in various ways: nuance, accuracy, bandwidth, etc), across various mediums that each have their own limitations, all in a limited time frame that must also make room for other pressing topics. It shouldn't be too surprising that the end result is less than perfect.
Technically AlphaGo and especially AlphaGo Zero create their own training data. So they’re not limited to data from human players.
Not an actual debugger, but this tool can record Java applications (unit tests or full-blown applications) while they run, and then you can explore visually what happened through a web interface: http://findtheflow.io.

It's similar to rr because you can go back and forth in time, but unlike rr it doesn't record much of the state (besides return values) and instead focuses primarily on the execution flow by the threads across the different methods, classes and packages.
That's not a dirty tactic at all, that's just how you compete, it's called first-to-market. They're not trying to fool anyone, they just have a product on the market that's better than the other products on the market at this point in time.

I just don't understand these kinds of comments. On every measurable metric, there has literally never been a better time to be alive and living in America. It seems to me that people's expectations are outpacing our relatively abundant affluence. That may still be a problem, but it has little to do with "what we're being handed for a future." My suspicion is that hit has more to do with the rise in social media and the fact that we're constantly comparing our lives to other people's highlight reels.

Journalists for the most prestigious outlets (NYTimes, WaPo, Newsweek, Time Magazine, etc) certainly did well for themselves. At secondary institutions it was a solid middle class job.

Now because of blogging and commodification of the news, the money is no longer in journalism but in clickbait and it's a race to the bottom.

This article about the decline of Newsweek does a good job chronicling what is happening at news media companies all over the world:

Journalists now find themselves among the precariat, especially those in the long tail of journalism working at clickbait factories like Business Insider, HuffPo, Jezebel, etc. News media is now a gig industry job.

I think it is a bug. I had it happen to my account which I've gotten grandfathered from Google Music -> Red -> Premium. The app suddenly changed from saying Premium to saying Youtube in the upper left corner and I was completely blasted with ads for Premium.

IIRC OSM's attitude is "map what's on the ground", so if people in Crimea believe they are in Russia that's what OSM should show.
> it's not like the trillion would disappear; it's being spent in the economy. And via the broken windows measurement fallacy of economics, it would likely increase our GDP rather than decrease it.

Wait, what? You're correctly calling out the broken windows fallacy as a fallacy, but saying that it's _true_? Wealth is tied to value/utility in a way that isn't fully captured by spending, and the broken-windows phenomenon shows up in GDP figures too (it just trades short run for long run, at unfavorable exchange rates).
Children are born with optimism for life even in the face of daunting circumstances, I see this in my kids all the time and I'm raising them to understand that life has its challenges but that they have opportunities to be productive and impactful as members of society.

Maybe 10-15 years ago that was true, but today the control of public discourse is no longer controlled by the elite class. Blogging completely ended that control.
Distinction between Russians and Ukrainians started after rename of (Kievan) Russia into Ukraine in 1908, when delegates from whole Russia Empire made decision to change name, to move away from Moscow. After Soviet Revolution, Ukrainians started Great Ukrainization, with it peak in 1929. At it peak, 81 millions of Ukrainians (Russians) and 77 millions of Russians (Russish) were counted in 1926. This was perceived as great threat to Soviet Union, because Ukrainians wanted their own, independent from Moscow, country. To tame Ukrainians, genocide was started, known as Holodomor, which killed 7 millions of adults (accepted by RF) and 23 millions of children (not accepted by RF) in 1932-1934, which are hidden in losses in WWW2, which are raised from 12 millions to 42 millions. Also, 20 millions of Ukrainians were written as Russians at Kuban and Crimea, so number of Russians jumped from 77 millions to 97 millions. So, at next people count, 97 millions of Russians and 29 millions of Ukrainians were counted. Problem solved. To tame Ukraine furthers, Ukrainian language was forbidden to use, and Ukrainian elite is (still) killed regularly.

> I think part of my question was related to your part 1. Are people genuinely remembering the entire API surface of their application, their language's standard library and all 3rd party dependencies for their code when using a text-mode editor like Vim?

No. For example, I use emacs, and when I want to use an API for a type I just... grep for the type name, find its file, and skim its APIs, which takes me a couple of seconds but I am able to find what I want in seconds on code bases with multiple millions of lines of code.

Every year people try IntelliJ, or some other IDE, with better auto completion support. After half a day full of getting it to crash, they just go back to vim or emacs, and wait till next year to try these IDEs again.

> This is entirely distinct from good/bad, or true/false.

Very good point. It should also be noted that some things are a matter of fact (1+1=2), and some things (like whether Brexit is worth doing) are a matter of opinion, based on a complex array of facts, factoids, memes, rule-of-thumbs, gut-feels, lived experience, etc.
By what metrics?
A time ago I used to not put anything onto my work calender because "it didn't matter" and "no one cared". Meeting at 2pm? That's a postit note and that was good enough for me.

Somewhere along the line, people started scheduling me for events in conflict with other events. Why? My online visible calender was free and clear into eternity so obviously I have nothing going on at 2pm. Explaining not being able to be in three places at once got old fast.

So now I have an eye toward using the calendar "defensively". Here's when I usually come in, here's when I usually clock out, here's when I usually take lunch, here's that weekly meeting I have to attend for someone else's giggles, here's when I'm helping Jimmy with this thing, here's when Samantha is helping me with the other thing. You want a meeting? Now the calendar begins a negotiation.

I may or may not like it, but the tipping point has come and gone for me.

I think the "untrustworthy" meaning is also relevant here. One of the reasons to use this hand-drawn look is so that people won't trust the drawings.

Balsamiq has a good description of this philosophy on their "What are Wireframes?" page. Here are the summary points:

1. It makes it clear that this is not the final design.

2. It conveys that "this is all up for discussion".

3. It makes it clear that no code has been written yet.

In other words, don't trust these drawings! They are not finished product, or any kind of product.

There's a longer explanation of each of these points on the page (scroll down to "Why Do These Wireframes Look the Way They Do?"). Recommended reading for anyone considering this sketchy style of drawing:
