Unfortunately you have to know a bit of Russian to pick up on this, but if you watch/read Russian media for a while it becomes obvious how this paragraph is a comical bit of hypocrisy.

The Russians in general and Putin in particular talk all the time about how the Russian soul is exceptional, how Russia is somehow different from western democracies and has its own unique (and largely mystical) economic and political path, how you can't understand it with intellect and can only believe in it (which is a classic bit of Russian poetry internalized by pretty much everyone), and how the Russians are somehow more "spiritual" than everyone else.

Putin has the knack for coming off as fairly reasonable to the western audience, but to someone who was born and raised in the former Soviet Union this reads like something from the Onion.

EDIT: here is a specific example to illustrate my point. In a recent interview, here is how Putin characterized the difference between the American and Russian "soul". He brought up a quote by the main heroine from Gone with the Wind where she said "I can't imagine what it would be like to be hungry all the time". Putin then pointed out that something like this is a primary concern of an American soul (implying base concerns for physical comforts), while this wouldn't be a concern for the Russian soul, which allegedly is concerned with much more important spiritual matters.

This isn't an isolated example -- this happens all the time. Going on NYT and criticizing american exceptionalism seems incredibly hypocritical to me.

EDIT2: I also feel compelled to point out either the sleaziness or sloppy thinking (you decide which one) of taking a single character from a work of fiction and extrapolating it to a conclusion about an entire people (of course in service of "proving" that Americans are far baser people than the Russians).
You are correct - and I was too liberal in my meaning.

Also, while it is partly hyperbolic to think that Israel has direct access to NSA systems, they have 1) far less scruples than even our NSA (they send assassins into hotels to take out enemies in foreign countries in broad daylight) 2) they've been directly building cyber weapons WITH the NSA 3) they are being directly handed raw intelligence BY the NSA.

For me - the most worrysome piece is that if you look at this revelation - whereby Israel is "politely asked" to respect the privacy of USG officials, who is to say they cannot use the information within this raw data to blackmail/usurp non USG assets in lobbying, defense, civilian-intelligence-contracting positions.

We basically have zero privacy, we also have zero security, as a nation, due t the actions of the NSA.

We are now in a position where it is literally every Human being against the intelligence community.
Its all networking. I would setup a good looking portfolio and start emailing other HN members. That will get you a fair amount of initial work. Then its just a matter of more networking. I also had good luck doing cold emails to people on LinkedIn.Just make sure to have a portfolio. People want to see what you have done, not hear about what you can do.

I will warn you: in order to maintain a good volume of work you have to become good at marketing. If you do not look forward sales, and or negotiations, you might be better off working with an agency. Less money, but less hassle.
I think the problem is that "business logic" is too vague a term, spanning what can be called both "rules" and "behavior." What you've cited -- "emails must be unique" -- is a business rule and belongs in the model, since only the model can enforce a data invariant like that. But take something like "new users are sent a welcome email." Would you put that in the model? Personally, I wouldn't (my User model is supposed to know about the mail service? really?). That fits into the class of behavior and belongs in a controller.

Put another way, when business rules change, you change your models. When business behavior changes, you change your controllers.
Sorry it wasn't about another YC company hiring.
I would tend to believe Obama because he is much more credible than Putin, and has much more to lose if he can't produce evidence to support his claims.

I'm sure plenty of people will jump on some kind of "LOL you trust Obama?!?" bandwagon, but I agree with you. But.

I think we've seen the NSA as an example of a government body out of control. I don't believe anyone in power knew the full extent of what they were doing - after all, why risk telling Obama when you already have all the money and leverage you need anyway?

My roundabout conclusion is this - I don't see any reason why the US does not declassify at least some of this evidence. Because I don't trust that vested interests haven't manipulated things in order to get what they want.
There are many comments here about Putin's character and policies.

That shouldn't be relevant to judging the quality of Putin's argument. I think it's a very reasonable one.
What Does A Song That Costs $5 Sound Like?
Assad's media consultants also did an excellent job with his TV appearance (I assume they were Lebanese?). He basically was in the context of a US voter or politician making a seemingly sane and rational appeal.
Those weren't just threats, regardless of their credibility. They charged and convicted her with obstructing a search warrant for "hiding a laptop." She plead guilty and is facing a maximum penalty of $100,000 dollars in fines and 12 months in prison. $100,000 dollars, and 12 months in prison.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND TWELVE MONTHS IN PRISON.

And that's not even everything such a penalty would entail: http://www.scribd.com/doc/132408951/Karen-McCutchin-Plea-Agr...

* c. a mandatory term of supervised release of not more than 1 years, which must follow any term of imprisonment. If McCutchin violates the conditions of supervised release, she could be imprisoned for the entire term of supervised release;

* f. costs of incarceration and supervision; and

* g. forfeiture of property

But I'm sure this is all about the videotaped threats he made against agent Smith and his family after months of harassment by federal officials who engaged in similar behaviour. You know, the same agent who was responsible for making the case for the gag order to the judge. This has nothing to do with snuffing out someone who's not only been a major pain in the ass for the military industrial complex for years now, but has been quite ostentatious about it too. Literally nothing.

Don't get me wrong. It is criminal to threaten others like that and he should face punishment for doing so. Of course, he's already been imprisoned for longer than what a reasonable sentence for such a crime would be. But if you watch those three videos in their entirety, you'll see that there is an interesting question behind the haze of giddy panic that bubbles just below the surface of his outward frustrations and ramblings.
I don't think you did follow. Nothing stops you from listing actions, in any language. In a language where actions are executed just by being listed unless particular magic constructs are used, you are more limited with what you can do with sequences of actions. Again, try to write something in logo that takes a list of arbitrary actions, and runs through the list executing each action twice before moving on to the next.
Putin is a stone cold dictator, but he is very sophisticated about it. And here you see how deftly he manipulates public sentiment and perception. Who wouldn't want peace and cooperation?

Using tomahawk diplomacy against Syria was never a good idea. And "unbelievably small" strikes against Assad's regime was just a stupid threat to make. Chemical weapons are only a tiny part of the many very serious and relevant (even to Americans) geopolitical issues at stake in the Syrian civil war right now. A handful of bombing runs would be unlikely to improve the situation, even in regards to preventing the use of chemical weapons.

But I can guarantee you that Putin cares not the slightest about the citizens of Syria. His interests are with maintaining the Assad regime, as a geopolitical ally, and extracting money from Syria through arms trade. But now he has an opening to rub America's nose in a very public foreign policy failure. The president doesn't want to get involved in Syria but he set a "red line", which has been crossed repeatedly, and now he's forced into an enormously uncomfortable spot. And while the US wriggles out of this snare Putin will take as much geopolitical advantage out of the situation as he possibly can. Which will be a lot. Because he is very skilled at this game and everyone else (the US, France, even the UNSC) has already put their cards out on the table for everyone to see.
IIRC, that's illegal in Russia, unfortunately.

America is known for being religious in general, so this line will work well with his target audience, in general.
The uniqueness of an image is meaningless, it doesn't in any way stop it from being a simple arrangement of easily copied bits and absent such scarcity, the notion of property is meaningless. Property only makes sense when something is scarce.
The readme claims that etcd's can perform up top 1000 w/s, and I don't think 80/s is particularly alot.

At the end of the day there are only ~125 keys (most of which aren't the 80, expire really quickly), and I'm only writing integers (maybe 8 bytes in length converted to strings).

However, I dont know if this is caused my use case or if its just a normal day for etcd. I haven't been able to confirm with anyone else what their memory patterns look like. While running my etcd cluster of the last couple of days my log file has grown 3x to 92M (expected), but my memory usage hasn't grown that much. It now sits at 295M, so I'm unconvinced it has anything to actually to do with the way I'm using it.

I opened an issue here, https://github.com/coreos/etcd/issues/162, and it seems the maintainer confirmed it.
Devs saddened by Ouya response to Free the Games Fund controversy
Agreed. I didn't get too far in Project Euler myself before finding other programming problems to solve. Logging in I only solved 4, apparently. Which doesn't seem right, maybe I accidentally created a second account, I've done that a few times.

The main issue was, though I have a math degree, there was no way it would appeal to most of my friends when we'd turn these sorts of things into a (mostly) friendly competition. Hacker.org hit just the right buttons to keep a few of them interested long enough to even plough through the problems they didn't enjoy just to make progress.
Aww. I guess not knowing stored procedures prevents me from obtaining Web Development mastery. Fair enough, I suppose.
Right. So how did you react? Did you have your mom write the family a letter? Post it to tumblr? Write an angry post about the poor management of the restaurant? Or did you handle the situation as an adult and move on with your life?
I don't think things are all as simple as Putin's personal opinions on homosexuality.

In fact, I think it is very helpful to see what an eloquent and reasonable public statement can be created by someone who advocates policies so awful.

We are inclined by nature to treat the public opinions and actions of world leaders as internal to themselves, rather than ones simply chosen by expediency. If Russia were in a different situation, if Russia's public felt differently, if Putin ruled a different nation, the same man would produce a statement through the bureaucracy and the PR folk which would be entirely different.

In other words, when reading statements by world leaders, our natural inclinations to judge the accuracy, worth and truth of what is said are entirely worthless. The whole thing is manufactured by highly, highly competent organizations which can produce whatever gems are required of them.

This is of global importance on the order of war being declared between two mid-tier countries. It's probably not worthy of 50 articles about this article on HN, but a single direct link to the primary source seems more than warranted.

> If LLVM were under a copyleft license like the GPL, ...

You say that as if making such a dramatic license change would affect nothing else besides the rate at which changes made by companies get released to the wild. That's preposterous. If LLVM were GPL'd then Apple would not be using it. Full stop.
That's probably true. Instead of getting rid of H1B's we need to fast-track them to green-cards independent of employer. One thing I've not seen mentioned here is that green-card applications require the co-operation of the employer. The big indian body-shops that hire the most H1B's barely submit any green-card applications at all (e.g. in 2012 Tata (TCS) did 4 out of 7500 H1B visas, Wipro only did 30 out of 4300) and even those who are submitted face very long lead times.

jQuery Effects is a pre-req for the ultimate (Web Development Mastery) but jQuery Effects does not arrow into the ultimate. Instead, Web Design Mastery, which is a pre-req for jQuery Effects, does. This appears to be a bug. You could resolve it by moving WDM up a level and moving jQuery Effects into its current position.
He's not trying to convince anyone. It's all posturing. He's trying to look as good as possible (look like a reasonable, restrained, trustable major player in international politics), and put the US in a position where we look as bad as possible if we do intervene.

And he's doing a great job. The offer to get Syria to put their chemical weapons under international control was brilliant. Obama was saying, "They crossed a red line, there's no option but military," and then Putin put forth a peaceful solution.
The idea of view directly modifying models comes from fact that in many cases there was class named FooView, that acted both as view and controller (which generally makes sense because the low level GUI logic is same for both).

Sure, as an implementation detail that might be how things are done, but that’s different from conceptually having the view responsible for changes of the model’s state, no?

Also models represented not only the actual data but also various parts of GUI state itself (eg. position of scrollbar).

I think everyone who tries MVC probably comes up against the “Where does view metadata go?” question sooner or later. FWIW, I think treating that kind of transient state as part of the model is unwise.

If it’s metadata that applies to one specific view, as with your scrollbar example, it can live on the view. The corresponding controller can then send suitable commands to the view to update it in response to user actions, and the model is completely unaffected.

If it’s metadata that is shared among multiple views, such as which element of a system has a focus/active state or something like a clipboard/kill ring, then I prefer to introduce a completely separate component. Each affected view will observe that metadata component in the same way it observes the model, and therefore each corresponding controller can update that metadata component in response to a user action on its view and all affected views will react. Often, the metadata component may itself also observe the real model, so that for example if an item with focus is deleted from the model it will also cease to be recorded as the current selection in the metadata for any views.

This approach isn’t quite as tidy as pure MVC, but it does maintain clear responsibilities and collaborations between all of the components involved. In particular, it maintains the general design principles of MVC, and it does prevent anything that isn’t really persistent state or related business logic from polluting the model.
Very, very circular argument Mr Putin.
He strongly defends the UN security council as being the custodian of international law.
Yet, he seems to say that he is using his veto to disallow action - because action without full consent would be in contravention of that law.

On the other hand - I do agree with many of his other views expressed here. It certainly is a tough situation, and I have no idea how I would react if I had the power to do so.
If there's "every reason to believe" it's the opposition forces and not the Syrian government in control of and using chemical weapons, what good does it do for the Syrian government to "place its chemical arsenal under international control"? How can these two statements be reconciled?

Putin says:

No one doubts that poison gas was used in Syria. But there is every reason to believe it was used not by the Syrian Army, but by opposition forces, to provoke intervention by their powerful foreign patrons, who would be siding with the fundamentalists.

Then later:

A new opportunity to avoid military action has emerged in the past few days. The United States, Russia and all members of the international community must take advantage of the Syrian government’s willingness to place its chemical arsenal under international control for subsequent destruction.
Redesign Could Transform Reddit Into A Viable Media Site
This is actually a great piece of propaganda that serves Russia's strategic interests. Judging by the comments here and on the NYT, it seems to be working.

Putin says war should only happen by consensus from the UN, I wonder why he didn't abide by this principle when Russia intervened against Georgia in South Ossetia in 2008.
According to Jericho, there are 24 cities targeted.
> I have to chuckle at bit at the notion that ideas are so bountiful, though. It's a bit like how everyone is going to write the great American novel...they just need to think of the plot...but anyone can think of a plot so...

digital distribution restrictions and benefits. That's what's annoying about the walkback Micosoft did. They would have had you being able to electronically lend your friends games you owned on physical media. But then when they canned that feature, they seem to have canned the entire family sharing facility.
Well that is kind of the point of the UN.
As a user of OS X, I'm highly in favour of this move. I profer the greater openness that BSD licenced alternatives give, and as a BSD fan the benefits to the BSD community have been fantastic. Please don't state opinion as fact.
I was eager to give these a whirl but from my perspective the AGPL licensing is rather onerous considering that the official drivers are APL. Not sure if this was intentional or accidental.

Nah, they would probably say it was a tip from an unnamed reliable informant. Or failing that (if the courts ask too closely) they might use the tip to formulate reasonable suspicion to engage in other surveillance in order to get probable cause.
The big differentiator in careers that I see time and again is hustle. I rarely see people with hustle out of a job.

This is the mindset that ensures you will always have a job:

This is not a marketing ploy and has nothing to do what our company does. This was a bet between friends, and everyone I told this story to got a kick out of it. That, plus the fact I hoped someone on HN could help me solve this puzzle led us to post the story.
Just to get some numbers out there, for people in our income range. Assuming you are able to save 25,000 a year, get 8% return on investments, and pay a marginal tax rate of 28% on the investment returns, you will have a shade over 1 Mil in 20 years. To make it a bit more realistic, if you save 15,000 per year and get 6% returns annually, it will take about 33 years. So you can either retire at 41 or 53 (assuming 1 Mil is enough to retire on).

Now if your investments can grow tax deferred (such as 401k), that puts the two "millionare" ages at 39 and 48, respectivelly. Of course, tax deferred just gives you the advantage of taxes not getting in the way while your fund is growing -- you still have to pay taxes on it when you withdraw. But if at that time you have all your assets (house, car, etc) paid for, you can live on a lower monthly income. So if you are married by that time, and keep your withdraws to less than 70,000 a year, you only pay 15% tax. Oh, and you have to wait till your mid 50's to start taking out of 401k without paying a 10% penalty. (which is why a smart strategy is to use 401k as just one of several investment saving strategies).

The real benefit of 401k is if your employer matches funds. This can essentially double your contributions. And since there is a built in rule that keeps you from taking it out till you are close to retirement age, it lessens the chance that you will take it out early and blow through it when you are younger.
The whole reason Apple started heavily backing LLVM and built clang is because of gcc's license. Do not think for a moment that LLVM being GPLd means Apple would be releasing this code now. Instead, it means Apple would never release this code, because it would be part of some internal compiler project they probably would not feel like making open source at all.

At this point, LLVM and clang largely are Apple. This complaining about the timeline of the open source release of their own work is a bit nuts.
This. If you were looking for a reason to support the war, that it goes against Russia's interests is a pretty good one. Reminding people of that seems unwise. Putin would be smart to distance himself from it, since he must know the American people dislike him and consider Russian interests to be a threat.

That the rational thing to do as a reader is to ignore his identity and examine his arguments is mostly irrelevant, since that's not actually what people do. I suspect it's a miscalculation.
