I have been pulled over for no reason so many times, I wish they had these cheap cams when I turned 16.

I didn't get my first car until I was almost 19 but I agree. I wish there had been cheap cameras back then.

I know a lot of people who have the "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear from the police" mindset. They stare at me in disbelief when I tell them some of the things I have been stopped for by police.

The most egregious example was the time I got pulled over because "your rear passenger tire looks kind of low". Two police cars, on the side of the road in a distant suburb of Pittsburgh because it LOOKS LIKE the air in one of my tires is low...

Bail is punitive, regressive and coercive.

I remember another occasion where I got a ~$100 ticket and the cop says he's doing me "a favor" by not writing me a ~$200 ticket. This was at a time when I was making $9.00/hr. After taxes, that was two days of work to pay that ticket.

There's also the part where people with money are less likely to be arrested or ticketed in the first place. The fact that you can afford to hire a good lawyer and fight the good fight discourages police officers from making nonsensical arrests and writing bogus tickets in the first place.

If you wouldn't mind, will you tell us that make and model of the dash cams you bough? I have been thinking about getting one and I prefer to hear from actual users than to read spec sheets.
The problem is when you are in a coffee shop, someone notices you are logging in to Facebook, and now your phone broadcasts the login sound to the browser on both of your laptops. Suddenly two factor authentication is one factor again. It reduces the requirement from having physical access to your phone to having proximity to your phone.

People do want to do this. Go and look at those who are already doing it.

Your experience is quite obviously very limited if you've got problems installing software that's built for Windows, on Windows. And Steam for Linux has been out for a couple of years now yet the majority of game devs aren't building games for Linux since next to nobody is running Linux for games or buying the lackluster Steam Machine - http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/5/8733139/valve-steam-machine...
Then I guess everyone who has not written their own network stack and built their own networking hardware should get off the internet. After all, they are just interested in the bling and not how it works.

I work on Portal. That example uses a minor version update ("1.3.1"). This is a major version update. In 6 months we went from a prototype 0.01 to a version 1.0. It's also the first open public beta. The entire web site, demo, and product are different. It would be permitted at the Homebrew Computer Club...

But HN has owners and it's up to them how the site works, I get that, it's just disappointing. Oh well.

only if you think having every disk access occur at ram speed rather than SSD speed makes no difference. CPU's and RAM are so fast, I think often in starting an application or the like, disk access really is the limiting factor. I suppose you can disagree. things like compilation could easily end up twice or five times as fast in my estimation. know anyone with a compilation in their workflow?

I should have said "C: drive"/"HDA1" but wrote boot media so I could save having to think about my phrasing. I meant that's where you would install anything that is primary to your workflow and might read and write lots of files, because that's how it was programmed, git, your ide, compiler, test suites, database, webserver and log files, or whatever programs you create and handle your workspace with, whatever that may be (photoshop, design software, etc).

the point is, things you would never risk not having on permanent storage, and which are written with the expectation that they will be. if it's ironclad (six/seven sigma, and backed up to real permanent storage behind the scenes in case worse comes to worst), you wouldn't have to give up this abstraction. it would still be a hard drive and not, you know, the current contents of your ram since you booted.
I'd guess that the rendering is done client side here and can be done with partial updates. ShareLaTeX and Overleaf have to do a full LaTeX pass on the server just to show the change of a small part of the document.
I was always under the impression that those rules were designed to protect the venues, not the broadcasters. I.e., if you're local and want to watch the game, you should come to the ballpark and watch it live. As I recall, there was a time when a game would be blacked out on local broadcast as well if the stadium wasn't sold out.
This sort of broke the software app business model. One low price for an app for life. Then doing the upgrades to each new version of OSX costs a lot of money. No wonder many companies go out of business or try to avoid developing for the Mac?

Adobe gets around this by offering Cloud subscriptions, paying a monthly or yearly fee to access the software.
My tools changed quite a bit this year. I am using:

emacs
textmate2
R
python / pandas
jupyter notebooks (python, R, julia kernels)
c++
Clojure
Common Lisp

linux on the server
os x on my laptop
ipad / prompt2 / pythonista / bluetooth keyboard

Almost all of my serious work is being done in either R or python right now, which is a big change from using more proprietary tools like SAS, Stata, and Matlab.

I think I might have been the last person on the planet to figure out that an iPad with a bluetooth keyboard in a coffee shop or library is a very productive work setup and that I do not need to lug my laptop everywhere.

We are living in a fantastic era and I just cannot believe the amazing free tools that are available for things like network analysis (NetworkX) and spatial visualization (ggmap).
The initial magic of Parse was in the tight coupling of native mobile SDKs with standard cloud services. We released our first barebones beta SDKs long before we had a publicly documented (not to mention properly versioned and stable) server API. So for a while we iterated quickly underneath the hood and dragged people over to new versions of our cloud APIs with new SDK releases. It only became feasible to do this after we productized our server side APIs. And then it took some time to prioritize the project and execute on it.

I'm honestly curious why Kotlin hasn't gathered more steam amongst this (gigantic) group of people. It seems like there's definitely room for a "Java, but a bit nicer", but that's not what Scala is intended to be. Did Scala just start winning before Kotlin was around?
Even that may not be true. Apple things in the app store don't have to follow the app store rules that external developers have to (e.g. Xcode is not subject to sandboxing), so it's entirely possible that only Apple things could have paid upgrades.
I was speaking from personal experience. Borrowing from illegal sources is not out of the question. For example, one of my friends is always borrowing money from the mob so he can buy more coke. He's currently about $20K in debt. Another one of my friends was tied up and threatened with a blowtorch amputation unless he paid back his loan. Another one was dragged into a bush and beaten up outside his apartment at 3am because he was overdue.

If "understanding the poor" is your goal, you'd do well to dispense with the condescending generalizations.

Some of the profits from the cherry business may have actually been laundered money from the cannabis business. The cherry business might not have been "very successful" on its own.

Besides that, the larger legit business provided a great cover for the smaller illegal business. He didn't need to run the grow op to run the cherry factory, but he did need the cherry factory to run the grow op more easily. There's no way he could have run it undetected for at least six years in the heart of NYC without the cherries on top.

I suspect that the cops had access to illegally obtained evidence, and the bee thing was the only way they had to legitimize what they already knew.
The reality is that judges rarely face any penalty for setting bail too high and preventative detention is used for nonviolent crimes.

Judges can even benefit from it. Elected judges can tout their "tough on crime" bona fides in their ads. Appointed judges become more attractive for higher seats by politicians who promised to be "tough on crime".

It's bad medicine.
Though I certainly don't advocate a test that goes to 137 lines, I think the point of having to guess what the test is doing only by the name/messages is moot, you'll end up checking the test source code to see what it is doing exactly
And it's a more mature arena; mechanical watchers are I'm sure a better example (Gerry Sussman likes to tinker with them to relax, or at least did that while doing his Ph.D. thesis to stay (semi-)sane), but in the area I know best, everything came together for high power rifles in the 1898 Mauser (although reliably getting the steel right took longer world-wide for the first world).

Or look at internal combustion engines. The two absolutely critical technology improvements that changed things from WWI to WWII were "merely" refinements in those and radios. WWI IC engines were so rough they pretty much required wooden frames, and engine power was anemic, as WWI tanks show. Fast forward not very many years and we have much smoother and reliable powerful engines, and had developed the seeds of today's jet engines before the first transistor was demonstrated in 1947.
No but you make it sound like the BN-800 is a traditional water cooled reactor from the 50's designed to produce bombs which it's not.
It's a liquid metal fast breeder reactor with a triple fuel cycle, Russian reactor design is quite advanced, pretty much most common Gen 4 designs are based on mid 1980's Russian reactor designs like the BN series.

The BN-800 uses Sodium as it's primary coolant and like the LMS design it's quite walk away safe if there is a run away reaction in the core there will be no pressure jump since sodium boils at 881c (The coolant's boiling point will be over 1000'c since it's not pure sodium).
Since Sodium can undergo neutron activation it also serves a secondary role of being a neutron absorber which slows the run away reaction naturally.

The BN-800 is also the 1st commercial reactor to actually use a mixed uranium-plutonium fuel which is intended to safely repurpose the stockpile of weapons grade plutonium. And while it's is classified as a breeder reactor it's not a military reactor (It is also Russia's first reactor to be classified as a pure civilian installation), it breed's it's own fuel for the secondary fuel cycles and most importantly generates PU-238 and most medical isotopes which we are in quite a desperate shortage off (especially PU-238 which NASA now has ran out of pretty much).

The problem with most people who are crying about nuclear technology is that they really haven't got a clue on what's being built, what is being designed, and what we've already experienced with and learnt from.
While i would not want to live near a nuclear reactor since well it give me the hibbie jibbies no matter if it's a liquid molten salt thorium reactor or a 1950's smokey bear that can go boom at any moment.
Nuclear energy compared to coal, oil and gas has far less environmental implications even if we experience a Chernobyl every 2-3 decades.

> I would probably be better off using Haskell directly.

This is certainly true. You can see Frege as a subset of Haskell 2010 plus some GHC extensions plus the native interface (i.e. the Java FFI).

Unless you really need the JVM, Haskell (i.e. GHC) is the probably the better choice.

Frege is just an offer for the minority that wants pure FP specifically on the JVM. Those people had no real choice until recently, given that CAL is dead, and E. Kmett's "ermine" not yet there.
Maybe technology could help this situation?

It sounds like a big part of the problem are too many arrests for things without enough evidence.

Wouldn't everyone benefit for better logs & statistical analysis? If a certain police officer had a 15% conviction rate, and he actually liked his job, then he'd be sure next time to be more sure about his arrests. Such a tool could track recent trends as well.

Also, it sounds like there needs to be a system (email??) to contact employers. All employers required to have an official address and courts are required to contact it with current case status.

Anyone else have ideas about how tech could help the situation?

After Disney bought LucasFilm they laid off everyone at LucasArts except those responsible for handling licensing [1]. ILM's work here seems focused on more cinematic stuff - the word "game" doesn't appear once in the article.

By the way, a lot of the missing content in KotOR 2 has been restored by a mod called "The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification." There's a standalone version if you still have the original discs rattling around, but the easiest way to get it now is to use the Steam Workshop [2]; the game was recently updated (after 10 years!) to add easier mod support, controller support, etc.

Fantastic. Thank you. I'll carve out some time for upgrading soon.
For 1, it might be a matter of taste/familiarity. For me, interpolation in Julia makes string formatting easier to understand, at least for short strings. The issue is Julia's interpolation (I hope to god to be wrong about this, if it's wrong, someone correct me) doesn't have format specifiers, which put me in a pickle a few days ago.

For 2, can you expand upon this? Not a challenge, but I'm not able to imagine how this would be a security concern, and this might be a failure of my understanding here.
How do you relate cannabis plants with serial killers?
I don't think arrest to conviction conversion rate is very meaningful by itself since in many jurisdictions the prosecutors get to choose which arrested persons to prosecute and how vigorously.
Another point from the discussion was that there are already three ways to do string formatting in Python:

1. `"Value: %i" % value`

2. `"Value: {}".format(value)`

3. `string.Template('Value: $value').substitute(value=value)`

However, the Zen of Python (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/ or run `import this` in a Python interpreter) says "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.".
The example consequences you lay out seem significantly worse than being unable to renew a drivers license, so I'm not sure why you're presenting them as viable options.
Worth pointing out that this approach isn't particularly helpful when wrapping mutable Java objects, because Java land still has a reference and can/will mutate the object right underneath us. So we still need to write our Fredge code in ST.
I think something got lost in translation - I'm not saying for the manufacturers NOT to release updates.

I'm advocating for the ability for people like me to be able to apply the patches manually - and thus as a result the ability to remove and tweak the underlying OS to my liking. As it stands right now I can't do that due to proprietary drivers.

> What proportion of Android users do you think would be left unpatched?

But I'll humor you. Analyzing the breakdown of Android devices [1] - I would argue at this point devices running 4.2.X and lower will never see another update (because 4.2 is almost 3 years old - if there is an upgrade available people haven't or will never upgrade). That is about 34% of Android devices who will, arguably, never see another update.

I do like how they left off Honeycomb (3.X) - I know for a fact there are still devices out there running it so that graph is a little off.

But I'm not arguing that learning how to do math is useful for making decisions later in life (aside, obviously, from e.g. financial decisions that involve making calculations).

I would argue that classes that study literature actually harm peoples' abilities to make decisions later in life. Letting people make pretend arguments without a testable standard of truth is a terrible idea. You can see people act in public today that do not care one bit about whether what they believe, or what they say, is true or not, and you can see them claim that there are "multiple perspectives" on matters that are, in fact, questions of fact. Some people are quite good at writing stuff in a way that gives them 2^n directions in which they might equivocate, should somebody argue with them. They are a product of this system.

As long as you pay them back, the mob won't give you a hard time. If you just want the money to get a job, and you're not using it for drugs, you'll be fine.

But, mostly this was just me refuting your claim that I don't understand what it's like to be poor (and desperate). I could go on, in ways that don't have anything to do with organized crime, but I have to go now. It's really infuriating being told by someone that doesn't understand your experience that you don't understand your own experience.
Live data, but they're stored redacted, and/or with sensitive data (e.g. credit card numbers) replaced with opaque tokens that reference an encrypted store that's carefully access-controlled.
What about on the other end: an automated system to assign bail amounts? Plug in charges + criminal history + financial status into a system that determines bail. That way it's in the hands of a computer and there is no blowback to a particular judge/prosecutor/etc.
Good point -- if this worked even moderately well -- e.g. it lets you capture 20 bits of DR -- a photographer could go crazy with the old film approach of "expose to the right" and simply keep settings such that every shot is "over" exposed and simply fix it all in post (it's pretty hard to over-expose by more than 6 stops unless you're trying...)

To emulate film stock we need a solid 14-bits of Dynamic range (while DxO says the D810 has it, the article below says 11-bits, but the best video cameras are getting there):

http://wolfcrow.com/blog/where-cameras-stand-in-dynamic-rang...

Ideally we'd get something like this AND capture polarization data as well (per the recent Olympus patent). Then you can apply polarization and exposure correction in post.

Precisely. Unless an officer's actions are both shockingly egregious and clearly documented, prosecutors usually won't do anything. After that cop is gone, the prosecutor still must work with his friend and colleagues to present cases for trial.
I stand corrected. Wow..
hmm, the arrests are the input. The prosecutors would be a second filter step. And that step would be more or less constant.

There are several steps towards conviction and many variables, but I think there are statistical methods that can tease out the conversion rates at each step along the way.
I'm glad we're spending so many resources and so much time to find people growing pot in the US. It's time well spent to battle the stoner scourge, and people growing it domestically represent a much higher risk than dealing with drug dealers in Mexico.
