What cyber stalking are you talking about? This page only talks about plagiarism and wikipedia vandalism. Making negative edits about people you don't like on wikipedia involves exactly zero stalking. Is information missing here?

And it sounds like the 'plagiarism' was him using quotes he did not personally acquire, which is pretty minor and wouldn't turn me away from reading anything.
I'm curious as to why "tweets" are implied to be any less legitimate of a means for presenting information publicly than letters to a newspaper or something.

>Without "generalizations" we could say nothing about how whites treated blacks post-slavery

Any negative generalization about a non-white group would be characterized as racist, yet you think it's okay to make generalizations about whites.
> Except that's not how anyone did it.

I can affirmatively tell you that more than one of my employers, successful startups several years in, _did_ do this when I started.

Anyway, I don't blame people that get burned by this, very little in hosting is obvious.

That's a great example of why people need skilled ops help. Understanding how one computer connected to a cablemodem works and understanding what happens inside of a datacenter are very different things.
Are you implying that "verbal abuse" is entirely impossible? But verbal abuse is a widely recognized category of abuse in law enforcement and domestic violence support networks around the world. You can see the top-level comment by kelukelugames for more info
Wonderful video. I am a white man of european descent so it looks like I would be a great fit to work here.
> You sound like you're speaking on behalf of all males. You don't

I'd like to amplify this.
Yes, there are many ways in which cutting edge science seems indistinguishable from limitless magic. As a scientist though, this perspective requires ignoring that nearly all my time requires attempts to overcome physical limitations. Sure, these things may be possible, but they require overcoming many currently impossible limits.
The rich historical record of male violence against women is why.
Insulted is not the feeling I'm concerned about. Generally people only feel insulted by something that is personal.

It's only relevant because women are typically judged on the basis of their looks. I'm not saying that comment is alone indicting, but in the context of the other comments it appears that Vic is more of a man's man who has fairly traditional ideas of men, women, beauty, and workplace conduct.
That's good, I agree that there are avenues pretty much anyone can take to make change in the world.
How did you get around the fact that Go doesn't allow you to modify value-type entries in maps? For instance, if I have a map[int]myFoo, I can't do myMap[24].myParam = 3, I have to create a new myFoo and assign it to myMap[24]. Whereas if I have a map[int]*myFoo, myMap[24].myParam = 3 works fine.
Thanks for the solution! I was hoping for a more algebraic solution as opposed to an iterative one. Is there a way to know if an algebraic solution - if any exists for this problem? And if it does, how can I find it? Because expanding upon nodes and checking every branch is still a form of brute forcing the problem. I'm wondering if there is some elegant solution to this.
It really is fantastic. It's especially amazing when compared to the other audio programs that try to mimic the hardware, literally, down to having a physics engine drive the UI and making users drag cables around. Ableton's UI is a wonderful, straightforward, usable system. It reminds me a bit of the discreet logic software like combustion and inferno - doesn't look like a "native" UI, but once you start using it you realise holy shit, this is totally optimized for workflow and pixels aren't wasted on pointless chrome.

Ableton's automation system is slick too, making it trivial to hookup any key/MIDI input to anything. I got coded up an Xbox360 controller to work with it and it took under 2 hours flat.

I'm just a bit concerned for Ableton, because Live 8 seemed to be the big release (almost 6 years ago?), and Live 9 was not that huge of a leap and 9.1 was mainly bugfixes? From an outsiders view, it looks a tad bit worrying, like, what's going on? OTOH I guess it's good if they cede their massive headstart a bit as it'll drive more competition :).

Ableton's hardware controller is cool, but without actual pixel screens it seems rather weak compared to the Maschine stuff. Seeing how cheap screens are, I find it odd they can't toss on some real screens instead of dot-matrix ones on a $500 device. I think it'd be pretty wicked to be able to drop full devices onto the hardware, containing their full or optimized UI, then work more on-device.

But I'm not really an artist at all so perhaps I just don't get it.
It's the color and reflections that matters. Not the weight. But competitors will surely make a joke of it.
We will see none of these things in our lifetime nor is it likely to happen in the next 1000 years. I challenge you to read up on what it would take to reach Proxima Centauri. Small amounts of time travel happen all the time. Significant forward time travel is physically possible, as is interstellar travel, but unobtainable by humans. Pop science has tried to make us think teleportation is possible through quantum entanglement but that has been proven false. I would love it if we could do any of these things but it's just not reasonable to think it will happen.

I believe this sort of gullibility stems from not really understanding what we have achieved. If our current achievements seem like magic then anything seems possible. Mankind's achievements are impressive to mankind but we're also a bunch of self-aggrandizing egotists. Hopefully no one else is watching.

Last time I used Ableton (2011), the recording cut off somewhere between 5 and 6 hours. From the email exchange I had with them, this was because they were using 32bit ints instead of 64bit ones. For a company that touts its partnership with Serato, and the ability of their program to work with Serato's DJ tools to specifically record DJ mixes (which can be many hours or even days long), this is absolutely unacceptable. Perhaps they fixed this since then, but after experiencing that, I could no longer see Ableton as anything but amateur software at best. The UI is not very intuitive or particularly great either, at least for composition, compared to other music software.
Verbal abuse is a thing. Unwanted compliments do not immediately constitute verbal abuse.
News organizations already do this, they're called ads. You have (in theory) a clearly defined content section that is (in theory) honest, and not biased or bribed. This section earns consumers trust in the news organizations brand and keeps eyeballs returning to their content. Then you have the advertising section that is 100% biased to those buying the space. News organizations have always been primarily an advertising business, getting eyes to ads.

The danger is letting companies influence sections that are believed to be objective and honest. One example of this is Michael Arrington the founder and former editor-in-chief of TechCrunch who is famous for investing in start-ups that his blogs would then cover. Not only that but he was partner in two investment funds during his tenure and now has his own fund, CrunchFund. All this to say that he has special interests in dozens of companies at any one time. When AOL bought TechCrunch they eventually let him go because in part of his conflicts of interest.
Are people that make sexual remarks more likely to be violent?
Please, can we have an article about the realized benefit of this applied data science, rather than yet another hype piece of some hero figure?
You lose any credibility when your first link is to a partisan whackjob site like cnsnews. Not that zerogedge is any better.

Ask HN: What the future lies for Vim?
I've been using Vim for more than 10 years as my primary text editor and for everything I do.

We all know Vim development is slow and conservative to changes, there is Neovim for more progressive development.

So at this rate of vim development, what do you think the future of vim looks like?

There have been many converts to Neovim already; my question is, is the future of Vim good in your eyes? Would the community end up splitting? How is this going to affect Vim and plugin development?

Are you switching to Neovim or have you switched already?

Do you think Vim can still benefit from Neovim and refactor/fix some of its code?
It's been a long time since I've used the Acid software, but I don't recall it being aimed at impromptu or live performance. Whereas Live is ... well Live. Wireup all sorts of stuff, forget arrangement view completely (or maybe, leave it running on record), and then just jam out.
>addicts aren't fundamentally criminal

I think you have your ranking backwards. Having committed a crime means you screwed up. Being an addict means a life-destroying drive that never truly goes away.
I've been a big Ableton user for many years now, after I "graduated" from cubase and moved on from rock to electronic many years ago.

In fact, I self-produced a tribute to Snowden's NSA revelations[1] using no external sources besides my trusty Martin. It's kinda corny and the duel overlapping lead is out there, but overall it was an interesting exercise in learning the power of Live.

I think i did it sitting on my couch (no studio just a condenser mic) over a few days.

It is a ridiculously amazing music production platform, and my only wish is that I could be 15 again and start with it as my instrument of choice instead of guitar.

Great job by the development team in fixing almost all the crashes that plagued it for years...its very solid now.

I don't understand how it can't be for personal agenda and PR when her response to two adults making juvenile jokes to themselves is to publicly shame them.

Since kindergarten children are taught to politely ask somebody to stop as their first step, and escalate from there -- not go nuclear right from the get-go.

Or maybe I'm out of the loop on this -- I could be. I really only read about this the other night -- I get a healthy enough dose of drama just in my own life without having to read about somebody else's :-)
I didn't personally make the decision. We don't have any teams using Java, we do have a team using Go. Ergo, Go was chosen.
We generally know the maximum string sizes for each property, and they're pretty small, so this wouldn't have been a problem.
Well it goes to show the struggle of large development teams and products at large. According to that video, maybe you should revisit now.

I've used Ableton but I found myself driven back to simpler tools that give a less digital sound. Also I sort of agree about the UI.
What's different is that he continued after it was clear that she (and apparently other women) didn't appreciate it. Note the part which said “People above his level knew; reprimanded me instead of him.” – if that's true, it's a textbook harassment case because that's changing it from a potentially misunderstood comment (hypothetically - some of those quotes were pretty clear) to redefining the job as taking abuse from him.
Historical record shows many different groups to be acting in self-interest, even if those actions are "negative" -- for an example most people, including yourself hopefully, already understands completely, we can point to the Nazis. I don't believe you are engaging genuinely and honestly.

"Insulator" usually means "made of insulating material", and a vacuum is not made of material. :-)

Language is ambiguous, so it's important when asking questions like this to be really clear about what you mean by terms.

In particular: "insulator" is a term of convenience that groups together materials of sufficiently low conductivity under fairly normal conditions. What constitutes "sufficiently low" and "fairly normal" are both highly context dependent. Heat anything up enough and it'll become a conductor (it'll also become a plasma). If you use a term like "insulator" without keeping all this in mind it'll produce some pretty weird results.

So you can answer this question all kinds of ways. In normal high-voltage parlance, vacuums are considered insulators. But unlike insulating materials, which are full of electrons that can't move, vacuums are insulators purely because they don't contain any electrons.

If you inject electrons, the vacuum becomes a conductor... or at least the electrons do. After all, a vacuum is an absence of matter, and where there is an electron there is matter, so where there is an electron there is not a vacuum...
I keep meaning to make an upto date list of "big important things I should keep track of". This debate is always in my top ten and yet Schneier is about the only one I know talking about it.

Which kind of makes the "debate" point moot - where is the debate happening? Which politicians talk about this? I must have missed it.
Fair enough, but it seems her tweet is being supported by others' perspectives, which I think gives it weight.

Twitter and Google+ seem like reasonable places to post a complaint you want to take public.
I had already done a bit of profiling: originally the GC was taking up around 40% of the total running time, and I managed to reduce it to 10% by removing the biggest source of allocations. As it's not latency-critical there wasn't an immediate need for further optimisation.
Tax payers don't pay for the USPS. From Wikipedia:

"The USPS has not directly received taxpayer-dollars since the early 1980s with the exception of subsidies for costs associated with the disabled and overseas voters."

In essence, they are a highly regulated business that is hobbled by requirements (pension funding, etc.) that make them uncompetitive.

You want to make them profitable? Let them fund their pensions the way Fedex and UPS do. Let them dump the unprofitable services [delivery to Alaskan hinterlands? sorry] and charge what the market will bear.
Did you see kelukelugames's comment that I mentioned?
Oh no! The evil corrupt patent system is stopping me from owning a bicycle made of gold...
Violence is a spectrum, on which harassment sits. If we were not talking about "sexual" harassment and violence, this would be uncontroversial as an implicit assumption.
This works really well for Python/pip requirements.txt files too. Thanks for the tip. :)
That's not how I interpreted it, but I could see how that could have been what he meant.

In that case, I do think staring can, in certain contexts, be considered harassment. I would hope that it could be solved by a conversation ala "please stop staring at me".
I think the current US law is that lawmen can try to compel you to not discuss a subject, and try to jail you if you do, however, they cannot try to tell you to speak falsehoods about a subject.
Not yet: simplicity was deemed more important than latency for the present, and it was believed that pooling would bring unneeded complexity. If latency becomes an issue then pooling would be the next step taken.
Plenty of companies have quarter to year-long contract-to-hire paths for all new hires. Are all of these companies also failures? This is how all skilled work was for centuries, if not millennia. Were all businesses and guilds back then failures as well?

Either way you seem to be missing the point-- being able to choose who you retain vs. who you fire is a factor of applicant volume, not some objective measure of the quality of a company/hiring practices. Being able to reject more candidates if anything means you are better, as you have enough applicants who want to work there that you can be selective.
Oh my...it has changed drastically from 2011 and I'm sure it now records music until your hard drive is full.

The idea it is "amateur software as best" flies in the face of the fact that most professional electronic producers use it if they use Windows, at least as far as I can tell from the various computer music magazines.
The difference is between "what an asshat" and "I don't seem to belong".
In the trash can there's a strange zip file you can download. Unzipping it reveals a readme.txt, which says:

Sorry, no album download for the moment, our server is under reddit hug...
The album is also here :
https://jankenpopp.bandcamp.com/album/poire-c-poire-v

Going to this bandcamp it mentions:

THE IDEA BEHIND THIS ALBUM WAS TO MAKE A DEVIANT DANCE MUSIC LABEL TO RELEASE THIS HORRIBLE TRACKS, BUT THIS PROJECT WENT TOTALLY WRONG AND BECAME THE THING KNOWS AS WWW.WINDOWS93.NET
THERE IS A LIMITED SD-CARD EDITION OF THIS ALBUM THAT YOU CAN BUY FROM ME IRL FOR 10€
THIS ALBUM WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR FREE BUT HIDDEN ON WIN93 SOON, IF YOU SUCCEED TO FIND IT.

So I guess that's the backstory.
You're giving in to the (abstract but real) person that says "If it were, even by a tiny degree, and men continue to hurt women, we could say that women just didn't do a good enough job changing men." That person is wrong and terrible. That person will demonstrate that a particular woman has the smallest iota of responsibility and then blame them 100%. Don't listen to that person. Don't use their flawed argument to support your argument.

>But how are women, who make up more of any human "society" than men, contributing at all to the "problem"? Can you give any examples, or a general idea?

Non-abusing women and non-abusing men both sometimes act as enablers for abusers. By not speaking out. By not firing bad actors. Etc. The abusers are directly to blame, and everyone is indirectly to blame. There is no sane way to conclude that all men but only men are to blame.
>MMCs are nearly always more expensive than the more conventional materials they are replacing.

Most MMCs replace base metals that cost a few dollars per kilogram. Gold currently trades at ~$37,000/kg. Even comparing against a relatively costly base metal like tungsten, gold is three orders of magnitude more expensive. Spending $100 or even $1000 per kg to halve the density of a given volume of material vastly increases the cost of aluminium, but greatly reduces the cost of gold.

I have absolutely no doubt that Apple could significantly reduce their materials cost by using this process.
>Wall Street is more drug tests

Really? That's surprising. I can't imagine any tech company testing for drugs (maybe testing the drugs themselves though). Are there regulations on that for finance? What's in it for the employer? Is drug use negatively correlated with performance?
Why? If you don't actually elaborate, why does this matter to anyone else?
In Maoist China they asked the question "Should you be red or expert?"

Many organizations prefer "red" (in the sense of someone pliable to organization goals) since experts have a loyalty to their field which is deeper than loyalty to organization.
I think nurturers and entertainers will be replaced last, because it will take serious social changes to get people to prefer being entertained or cared for by a robot. There's no social change needed to replace programmers.
If you brew upside down and don't use a lot of water, you do end up with something pretty close to espresso (including crema).
Also just the fact that once you hit 53,000 people, you can't really say "I didn't expect this from X company" as if the company is a single person whose character is automatically imbued into every employee.
> If you (man or woman) work somewhere where the culture is harassing/hostile to women (or to anyone), you should take it seriously and either work elsewhere or try to stop it.

This is true. However, this incident - by itself - isn't evidence of a "culture that is harassing/hostile to women" at Google. All I see in this incident is evidence of a single employee, making a single inappropriate comment, with an over-the-top, attention seeking reaction by its recipient. This is a matter for HR - not for Twitter/Google+.

On the bright side, this is probably the most action that Google+ has seen in quite a while.

Definitely a creeper.
I suspect the issue is that many people in the computer industry never had the opportunity to develop a proper social skillset and thus frequently end up behaving in ways that are socially unacceptable. Add to that the prevalence of Aspergers in the industry, and you have a pretty explosive mix.

If I had a magic wand I'd make people take training on how to relate to others, especially the opposite sex, how to develop emotional intelligence which so many of us lack. Just because you're not born with it, doesn't matter you shouldn't learn it.
I really doubt that anyone's hands are actually tied. He could say whatever he wants, like how it's totally unacceptable and anyone acting like that should be dismissed. He could easily say it's in the company's interest because it shows Google stands up for women, which is good for Google's image and talent recruiting.

That's why when people pull out "maximizing shareholder value", I think they're quite exaggerating on what that entails. I'd be surprised if any laws or penalties apply to normal operating judgements. It's gotta be more for scenarios like a company selling a subsidiary at below-market price, or obviously negative-financial stuff like that.

I kept thinking there was more to this story, but this article makes it plain that there isn't: http://www.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2015/03/07/former-google-e...

Lines that you use on women in clubs should not be used with co-workers. That's the lesson here basically. I doubt either of those guys had any inkling they were causing emotional trauma.
I'm not saying that they are right, I am saying their argument would work; in fact there is rich historical documentation of that exact argument working, in all of the common situations of male violence against women: rape, domestic abuse, etc. We can find court records including the attire of women as relevant facts to the violence of the man. We can see how many female victims of male domestic violence are asked "why didn't you leave" "why didn't you try to deescalate?"
Thank you for a concise and clear response!

> If you completely trust a particular DNSChain server, then it's the only server you need to query.

I guess this is the part that is still unclear to me: How is this different from a curated list of pinned certs coupled with a ca cert store that holds only my own ca cert? How can/why should I trust a dnschain server to validate google.com? Because there is ample evidence in the blockchain that others have been tricked by/trusted a particular key/cert for google.com?
Off-topic: Going over the 100 or so comments over the pas 30mins was dare i say entertaining. It took me a few mins of self-reflection after i finished reading this on HN and thought - Why am i feeling happy after reading this?

This discussion has all the elements of a hit reality tv show. A victim, an aggressor, opinion extremists on either side, moderators on the fence.

I despise reality tv shows and make it a point not to watch them or read about the latest "incident" on show X etc. Now i cannot stop feeling that reading this discussion has broken my >1year-long streak of avoiding reality shows.
GTK is the issue here. It's Mac OS X support is not stellar.
