U.S. intelligence services and the Obama administration have explicitly accused Russia of the leaks and assessed that this must have been orchestrated from high in the Russian government. That's a pretty bold statement in politics. Of

Mypy is great, but it still has some ways to go. For instance, the type checker is thrown off by descriptors (__get__ and __set__ are ignored). Further, the typing module needs some work. The types in the module are sufficient for annotatin

And walking-only escalators can carry even more people, provided people walk on both sides. I'm in favor of building enough escalators to give everyone a choice. In an emergency situation everyone will have to walk anyway.

I downloaded the archive. I think people should make their own picture of it. There is a lot of content. The "Pay to Play" folder is just case studies of pay to play having taken place and does not implicate the Clinton Foundation

That is a feature of US law, isn't it? Quite a few countries have laws that compel people to render first aid and at the same time offer protection from prosecution even if the first aid makes matters worse.

Any people using gRPC and Protocol Buffers from Python with good experiences? The library for Python for one seems very unpythonic to me, starting with all those CamelCase method names. It does not seem possible to use asyncio or any other

I am also a bit afraid about the future of Angular, primarily because the Angular team is working on way too many projects that sometimes seem needlessly complex. I don't think anyone could pick this up for Google if they dropped the b

Angular Material is still missing a few essentials, but it is a good idea to speed up work on Material 2 now. Angular 2 will be out soon and many people will be unable to switch until Material 2 has caught up with the original.

It's fun to come up with snaps that are as outlandish as possible and get friends' reactions as they try to match you. You can stay engaged with people even if you don't have anything in particular to discuss. I am not sure S

Most of StackOverflow's income comes from their job postings. When I posted a job on SO a year ago, I asked them about Ad blockers. The salesperson told me confidently that they were not concerned because only 'around 5% of visito

The argument here is that highschools are underfunded, therefore any money that would have to be spent on scrapping university tuition should be spent on highschools instead. This would be a sound idea if the government weren't conserv

Indoor farming is not good for wheat or corn, or really anything where the majority of the plant isn't fragile and/or valuable. Even if we had a mini-wheat without a stem it would be hard to compete with the outdoors. But it'

The NCBI has a database of annotated genome sequences. For simple organisms, these might be only a couple of MB in size. You can use their search function to look up a genome and then download it from the overview page. No need to use their

It could/should be a bit more, yes, but you also have thousands of representatives in the state governments and that isn't working out much better with respect to gerrymandering. The advantage with the mixed-member system is that

The US would do a lot better with mixed-member proportional representation: It would solve gerrymandering outright; money in politics would be less than an issue, because money would have to be spent everywhere and not just on swing states&

The average German, when asked to list works by Shakespeare, can probably name Hamlet and maybe Romeo and Juliet. That does not make it an obsession.

A large enough HVDC grid would almost totally eliminate the need for backup power. There's always wind or sun somewhere and HVDC transmission losses are <5% per 1,000mi. It's possible to build a grid where pumped and battery st

The point is all they got out of this was lower taxes for their cars. The emissions weren't above any legal limits. That makes it a less serious crime. They're apparently earmarking about $2B for this.
