Sorry, I may be wrong but my understanding of peeping tom laws is that they apply where the user has a reasonable expectation of privacy.

I think you're wrong that they generally require the peeper to be looking while on private property because if that were the case the peeper would be trespassing and could be charged with that, although certainly it may be the case in some places. State by state basis makes it difficult to say for sure.

I guess it might be beneficial to have peeping tom laws limited to what one does on private property with the understanding that rich people have big enough property that you have to get on it to reasonably violate their privacy. Thus you can construct the law to protect the privacy of rich and poor alike as long as they have 5+ acre estates. And it is true that is is nice to have multiple things you can charge someone with, so they can plea bargain some of them away. So that they can be charged with trespassing still doesn't mean that they wouldn't want a law to charge them with peeping as well.

But as I understand it the reasonable expectation of privacy generally applies to stuff like your home, or a private dressing room (if talking about actors) and so forth.

Thus if someone is having a shower in the upper bathroom and you have climbed up a high tree off their property to look through an open window that they would not expect anyone to climb because wtf, then you are probably a peeping tom and violating a peeping tom law if it exists in that state.
Right. At an individual contributor level, you should be able to

1) ask your manager what the team's responsibilities are.

2) hear why the company exists at every quarterly meeting.

"should"
Everybody in the business knows the secrets anyway. Institutional knowledge is the thing that is terribly difficult to transfer.

Putting together a fab is money, money and more money combined with enough smart folks providing continuous effort to actually solve problems. It's the "solve problems" rather than "cover up problems" where China often breaks down.

People forget that the US didn't just magically become a semiconductor powerhouse. It was thanks to VHSIC, the VLSI Project, and other initiatives--a multi-year concerted effort by all the US semiconductor industry and the US Federal Government--because they were terrified of (don't laugh now) the Japanese.

DARPA gets all the press for the Internet, but the actual semiconductor technology that made the chips that powered the computers and equipment behind the Internet was probably far more important.
About the search aspect, I wonder if there is any way to create a custom search engine or filter out crap from google.

I would love a browser addon that auto-filters out quora, wikihow, w3schools, techcrunch, etc...

None of those garbage sites are what I'm looking for, ever. I think that, amusingly, filtering out the top 5% of best SEO optimized sites would make results much better.
> NY is creating EIGHT temporary hospitals total. I can't imagine the logistics, staffing, materials, etc. A few days ago I wasn't terribly concerned, but it continues to look worse and worse for the US.

I think the logistic complexity of building 4 field hospitals is like nothing compared building 30-40+ FOBs, MOBs, firebases, landing grounds, airfield, and other field logistic elements in the warzone, during an invasion.

Saying that, one need to think how shockingly bad the showing of American state apparatus been in recent years despite such an enormous resource at its disposal, unless the actual army is involved.
The young which require hospitalization have a real chance to die if left untreated. There aren't enough beds to treat everyone if 80% of people get sick.
These rankings are important because it helps us get a feel for what type of quarantine action is getting the virus under control.

Any country with sufficient testing that's managed to bring the growth rate below exponential is worth an enormous amount of attention, because we seem to have many countries who have taken action yet failed to stop exponential growth.
The 'critical' column on worldometers is a starting point. The general consensus is that the deaths are the most reliable, the criticals are somewhere in the middle and verified cases the least reliable due to lack of tests. But it is hard to fudge a death.

Yep, I was talking about Uber/Lyft et al with someone recently and going over the point that these services are finding out that Taxi services charge what they charge and operate how they operate due to very good reasons on the whole.

There's a lot of institutional knowledge baked into the cab industry and Uber/Lyft thought they could figuratively reimplement the whole deal in a weekend.
Ha! Interesting the different dialect chosen between posting this on WSB and here!

Either way, great work. I saw your post earlier today (?) on WSB and was impressed then and I’m impressed now.
Sure. And the aristocracy is good for aristocrats. I suspect that engineers, in general, vastly overestimate the amount of leverage they actually have as an individual when considering the merits of joining a union.
> Probably because nobody except police carries guns (in particular pistols) here at all. Whether concealed or not. You just can't get a carry permit. There is no such thing.

That is also how US megacities work.

> In Europe we have nothing like the second amendment. This is what makes even the gun-hostile places in the US less gun-hostile than Europe, because they still have to abide by the constitution.

That depends on jurisdiction. Compare https://reason.com/volokh/2021/04/01/ninth-circuit-holds-the... :

> The en banc Ninth Circuit last week held that the Second Amendment does not extend to open public firearm carriage. The new [decision] in Young v. State of Hawaii complements the Circuit's en banc from five years earlier, Peruta v. San Diego, which held that concealed carry is outside the Second Amendment.

> By statute, Hawaii has a restrictive "may issue" carry licensing system. If an applicant proves "sufficient" "urgency or need," then a police chief "may" issue a permit.

> In practice, Hawaii is "never issue."

Notionally, they are obligated to obey the constitution. But there's no one to make them do it, so they don't.

You also find things like New York passing a law which allows possession of a gun outside the home in only two circumstances: if you are bringing it from your home to a firing range, or if you are bringing it from a firing range back to your home. Notably, this "accidentally" banned transporting a gun from the store where you purchased it to your home.

The idea that the most gun-hostile places in America are more gun-loving than what you can find in Europe is self-evidently insane; the claim is that a bunch of people who largely define themselves by their opposition to guns are nevertheless more gun-friendly than a bunch of other people who rarely think about guns at all.
I agree with the majority here, but how is that crazy? One major point in the fair use analysis is that Android (for smartphones) did not directly compete with Java SE (for laptops and desktops). Showing that Android is a viable alternative for other Java uses, and did indeed supplant other Java contracts, seems relevant.
Legumes to me are healthy, but i can't see them as 100% peak human food, you have to soak them for hours and many people get bloated, then there are also certain amounts of anti-nutrients.
Title is wrong and dumb. Netflix made record INCOME, not profits. You pay tax on profits. Not income.
Cavemen certainly had the second issue. Large mammals have been going extinct at the hand of man for a loooooong time.
Because China, unlike South America, has power over others.
my stocks widget says that it's switching off finance (probably API?) next update because it's being discontinued. I have not validated that. I mostly use alpha vantage for my own projects now since finance (API) was down for a while.
I can't believe Mr. Nye believes that China's relations with it's neighbors are improving. Japan defense spending at highest levels since WWII, US shift to Pacific theater, disputes with virtually every neighbor about islands outside of the first ring, and on an on.
My cat is quite autonomous (lives outside, relieves himself outside, goes out for errands that can last days, etc.) but at the same time talks to us for many things.

For instance, there is no flap to our front door so if she needs to go outside during the day, she comes to us and meows.

But if it happens during the night she has noticed (I think) that I hate being woken up by hard "meoooo" in the middle of the night; and so she doesn't emit a sound -- she jumps on the bed and does a very soft "dance" on my legs until I (gently) wake up; then she meows and goes to the door, waiting for me to open it.
I founded 4chan eleven and a half years ago at the age of 15, and after more than a decade of service, I've decided it's time for me to move on.

4chan has faced numerous challenges over the years, including how to continuously satisfy a community of millions, and ensure the site has the human, technical, and financial resources to continue operating. But the biggest hurdle it's had to overcome is myself. As 4chan's sole administrator, decision maker, and keeper of most of its institutional knowledge, I've come to represent an uncomfortably large single point of failure.

I've spent the past two years working behind the scenes to address these challenges, and to provide 4chan with the foundation it needs to survive me by bolstering its finances, strengthening its infrastructure, and expanding and empowering its team of volunteers. And for the most part, I've succeeded. The site isn't in danger of going under financially any time soon, and it's as fast and stable as ever thanks to continued development and recent server upgrades. Team 4chan is also at its largest, and while I've still been calling the shots, I've delegated many of my responsibilities to a handful of trusted volunteers, most of whom have served the site for years.

That foundation will now be put to the ultimate test, as today I'm retiring as 4chan's administrator. From a user's perspective, nothing should change. A few senior volunteers—including 4chan's lead developer, managing moderator, and server administrator—have stepped up to ensure a smooth transition over the coming weeks.

I'll need time away to decompress and reflect, but I look forward to one day returning to 4chan as its Admin Emeritus or just another Anonymous, and also writing more about my experience running 4chan on my personal blog. The journey has been marked by highs and lows, surprises and disappointments, but ultimately immense satisfaction. I'm humbled to have had the privilege of both founding and presiding over what is easily one of the greatest communities to ever grace the Web. It was truly an honor to serve as 4chan's founding administrator, and I look forward to seeing what the next decade holds for the site.

On to the next chapter,

Yep, been done: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/nyregion/iphone-app-tells-...
Beats web app definitely sucks, I agree with that. However the iOS app is fantastic. Music is organized much better than Spotify. You can search for an artist then easily browse by Albums, Singles, EP's, Songs. You can save to your library (something Spotify only introduced recently) or a playlist. The sentence thing is a gimmick but the homepage in the app always recommends me great stuff I haven't heard or haven't listened to in a while. The highlights section also regularly turns up good stuff for me. This is where Spotify lacks in my opinion. I was browsing through some playlists today and they're exactly the same ones they were recommending to me a year ago. I've also never found a playlist I truly enjoy on Spotify whereas on Beats I've got dozens saved. I'm guessing this is due to the fact that people with taste in music curate the Beats playlists.

NB: I use both Spotify, Beats, and iTunes. I purchase music I love in iTunes, use Beats for discovery or when I just want to listen to music and do nothing else. Spotify I use when I have something specific in mind or want something playing in the background.
Depends on what you want to do.

Go is a fairly strong candidate for a straight up replacement for Python, but there will be a lot of newer things to learn with regards to using a compiled language without a repl, and the lack of traditional polymorphism.

Another good one is any kind of functional language, be it Haskell, Clojure, or OCaml. Learning how to think functionally will help your Python code quite a bit.

At some point in the future, Rust would be a good one to put on your list, but I don't believe that it is in a great place right now. It's getting better, but I don't feel that it's ready yet for production development. I think Mozilla can get away with it because they own the minds who are developing the language, and as such can hit the moving target which Rust currently is.
@melpa_emacs twitter feed automatically lets you know packages that are under development. That doesn't mean they're any good LOL, but it does mean they're definitely not abandoned.

meta x package-list-packages or something like that and scroll thru 3000 or so packages. I used to do that with Debian in the 90s or so when there were only a couple thousand packages, to see whats new.

HELM input method addon for emacs is interesting. So you hit alt-x and type pac (spacebar) lis and it searches the command list for the regex pac (logical AND) lis and returns the set of scrollable results. Its why I don't remember if the command is packages-list-packages or elpa-list-package-list or whatever, no cognitive need anymore, you want a list of packages you type some of the word package, spacebar and some of the word list, and its right there, ready for up and down arrow and hit enter. And HELM is applied to pretty much everything in emacs, running commands, switching buffers, opening files, projectile addon stuff... pretty awesome. I think it took me about a month to completely break my decades old tab completion habit when opening files LOL.

Just scrollin about the emacswiki finds some interesting addons.

Finally if you install a pre-pack of 50 addons and init file, you'll be blown away, but they can be a nice map or todo list. I think that was how I discovered perspective addon, I'd seen it and shrugged shoulders, but everyone likes it in the lists of pre-packs so I gave it a try, and I really liked it after trying.

AFAIK there is no "emacs addon of the week" twitter feed or podcast or screencast. This would be an interesting microstartup for some bored new emacs user. "Lets play" screencast video series on youtube featuring exactly one emacs extension per episode sounds fun.
A lot of founders these days are in their early 20's. Most people in their early 20's lack the emotional development to know these things without being told. Especially when you throw a few million at them.

Responsibility makes people panic until they get used to it.

I mean, imagine being 23 and responsible for the livelihoods and career prospects of some 20 people. Wouldn't you panic?
It's true that a lot of people work with Javascript, but honestly I wouldn't say that they can contribute to anything right away. A lot of these people don't know more than

$('#element').hide();

In fact, I would wager that there are more potential contributors to Emacs than there are to Atom.
> Alexander cannot demand that journalists pretend that his identity is secret when it's not, not remotely, not even plausibly.

This isn’t what he asked for. As you note there’s pages of comments and Alexander’s own account on Substack now. Maybe you’re claiming he isn’t being honest about his requests from NYT.
The JVM gives you very good JIT, GC, threading, manageability (profiling, debugging, memory inspection etc), scalability to huge machines, a huge ecosystem of software and has basically solved every real-world deployment problem. (Maybe apart from memory utilization!) It is definitely possible to beat the JVM on any one of these facets, but to consistently beat it on all of them is a _lot_ of work. (I'm not sure which benchmark you're referring to where Node beats the JVM, but I suspect it's relatively 'focused'.)

To my mind, the idea of porting is that you face a choice: you can recreate the JVM functionality in your own runtime, or you can port to the JVM. Porting to the JVM is certainly non-trivial, but you then get thousands of man-years of work in return. It's certainly worth doing a project to see whether the porting effort pays off; especially if this done concurrently with working on the language's 'native' runtime.
If someone asks why you believe in something your response hopefully shouldn’t be based on “because that’s what all Blue/Grey/Red tribe members believe”

In a lot of cases the response should be “I’m not sure, I’m not educated on this topic so I can’t offer an opinion”
Tamiflu is $130 in the US. Medications in the US tend to be stupidly expensive.
On twitter they say it is an indicator of speed. If sound is the main culprit in deterring the whale from the natural pattern, then it makes sense for a faster moving ships to have a more dramatic visual weight. That is a whale should be just as stressed of hearing something loud come at it with a high speed as we would be at seeing something big come at us on high speed.
Thank you, Golden Homer. :)
At the end of the day you could also just go vegan/vegetarian, which also happens to be way cheaper than meat.
What were the difficulties in getting charities taking the bread? I mean, were they logistical problems? Were they worried about some increased risk or was it simply a case of bad admin?
Thanks! Please let me know what you think once you've played with it for a bit.
I started with BASIC when I was 7, so I'd say yes, absolutely. The four lessons walk you through a tour of what Hackety can do, the concepts of programming via LOGO, basic programming in Ruby, and then simple things with Shoes. I've got a bunch of examples, too... you can check them out on GitHub directly, and see how you feel about them:

Lessons: https://github.com/hacketyhack/hacketyhack/tree/master/lesso...

The biggest thing is that it's just Ruby, with a bunch of libraries. I still need to come up with a good solution for STDIN and STDOUT, but it's all just Ruby 1.9.1.
We were using Dakota numbers for server names. It is a little typing when you hit 8 and 9.
Definitely. Just remember, if this is your strategy, choose some niche with little SEO competition (payday loans and the like should clearly be out). Also, optimize for that long tailed traffic! I have a feeling an incredible number of searches are so unique they've never even been seen before, and the majority of the rest are still long tailed. And I'll bet that will only trend up as people learn to properly search for information.
Congrats, Steve!

Would HacketyHack be good for a smart 10-year-old who's new to programming?
Power and land. California doesn't have much spare power, and land is certainly cheaper in Oregon and NC.
True! The real problem there is, if you regret it enough before you write it, you might talk yourself out of writing it to begin with...
Don't blame the tool user for inconsistencies in the tool.

A claw hammer that occasionally bites your hand off is a bad claw hammer. (Bad! No biscuit!)
Yep yep, totally think that's reasonable.

I know very little about the intricacies of cryptography, but part of me wonders if there's some way of doing a federated "key synchronization" service similar to keybase.

A more comprehensive an interesting take on the cosmic ray phenomenon. It’s actually a global issue that is accounted for in certain electronics.
Matrix is an open, federated protocol so something like this can't happen. Worst that could happen is bad stuff happens to Element (the flagship client) at which point people can either fork it or simply use another client.
As part of a GDPR data access request, my mobile ISP denied having access to data such as which cell towers I am or have been connected to. Wasn't sure what to make of that. They are a virtual provider but, like, surely if the police comes knocking they suddenly find a way to that data... or does the police not knock at theirs but at the network operator's? Is the virtual operator then not the data controller, should I send access requests to suppliers? But then the data controller is not required to give a list of suppliers, just a list of 'categories' of third parties they share my data with... so that doesn't really add up.

I know a thing or two about GDPR but it's still complex enough that I don't know what my rights / their obligations are in this case.

The best I could figure, my virtual operator was lying to me about not having my location data 24/7 recorded, but I'd be interested if anyone can tell me more.
When we started our project Peer.im (http://peer.im), we were very lucky to find an office in Santa Clara for merely $500 a month. The space is large enough for 6 people. If anyone is interested, here is the address. 3200 Coronado Drive, Santa Clara.
