Honestly, I don't think that has had the slightest impact on his political career. Those who are appalled by that case would probably not have been voting for Perry in the first place. IMHO the fact is that he made a fool of himself in a previous election cycle when he couldn't speak articulately at a GOP debate (perhaps due to pain medication for a back injury) and that's still what most people remember about him outside of Texas.

/usr/local is not one of the SIP protected paths. The idea behind SIP is to protect system binaries from being surreptitiously patched by malicious parties, not to make the system totally useless.

Yup, just hit the "V" key.

All events are irreparable. Justice cannot be absolute, in either direction. This is not a flaw in morality, but in our limited abilities. Acceptance of that is not weakness, but awareness.

Possibly true, but I remember the Aaron Swartz' prosecutor Carmen Ortiz and I bet a lot of other people do as well.
True. I was thinking 100% more would be 15 MPG so 50% more would be 22.5. Thanks for the correction.
It's like: "We'll kill the killers the right way ('humanely', with due process, etc.) so you don't go vigilante and murder them yourselves."

From this angle, assuming no other considerations, the legitimacy of the court system hinges on how often we see revenge killings. One could argue that the U.S. is more civilized now, so discouraging revenge killing is a fairly minor consideration.

I actually think they should be apologetic. The developer unit they were sent (for free^Wone dollar) was covered under an NDA, which expressly forbid talking about the device until it was released (which it hasn't yet). So they did not have any right to tinker here (well, they can tinker, but no right to publicly release any info). I'm glad that they're not claiming that Apple was in the wrong for banning the developer account. But I think they should be taking more of a "we screwed up and violated the NDA, which in retrospect was pretty obvious" tone than the "so that happened. live and learn" tone they did take.

Yes, the house is burning down! We have a whole lot of gasoline on hand. We can dump it all onto the burning fire to try and put it out.

Possible outcomes:

1) We manage to dump enough gasoline on it to starve it of oxygen quickly enough and the fire is burnt out. We clean up all the gasoline. The day is saved.

2) The gasoline catches on fire and the whole neighborhood burns down from our attempt to fix it.

3) We manage to dump enough gasoline on it to starve it of oxygen quickly enough and the fire is burnt out. The gasoline left behind isn't cleaned up well enough and it catches on fire a day later causing a bigger fire.

Or we choose to do nothing:

1) The house burns down. The fire does not spread. We build a new house.

2) The house burns down and the fire spreads, burning down the whole neighbourhood.

Or maybe we watch the fire for awhile and find a better way to put it out. The climate isn't as simple as this analogy. This isn't a black and white issue where we can dump our whole economy down the drain and everything is guaranteed to be rosy.

A single employee doesn't have much leverage compared to a company. The only leverage a worker has is the "freedom" to quit. For most companies this is a minor annoyance, but nothing they really worry about.

Compare this to the leverage a company has. It controls wages, work hours, work conditions and can fire a worker. This can have devastating impacts on the life of a worker. Unions are the only realistic option for the average workers to have an impact. It levels the playing field.

Unions can certainly have too much power and make self destructive decisions, but you can say the same about many corporations. This is not a problem with unions or corporations, but with a power balance that is out of control.

The only option to a union is strict regulations from the goverment, but that has problems of its own. At least the union has a more direct interest and domain knowledge about their work place

One key difference being that the death penalty removes the ability for later appeals and compensation if they are found to be innocent. According to one study the wrongful conviction rate of prisoners on death row could be around 4.1% [1] - that equates to around 120 innocent people currently being on death row.

Ok, here's argument.

> People are wrongfully executed all the time

Citation needed. I'm not aware of people who have been persuasively shown to be innocent post-execution.

> Executions serve no purpose for society except to satisfy our thirst for revenge,

Wrong, many studies show a deterrent effect.

> it makes little difference if the person they kill is innocent or not.

What? Of course it does.

> If he turns out to be innocent, they can always execute someone else to save face. Not the ones responsible for his execution, of course.

This hardly deserves a response.

Oddly enough accelerating like that isn't always "legal". Where I'm from it could be classed as dangerous driving, and I believe in the USA it could fall under "Exhibition of Speed".

By and large it is more efficient to accelerate at full power, assuming your goal is to reach a certain top speed regardless, so if you were _really_ concerned about conserving petrol then you should be going full blast off the line. That said I expect the fuel usage such a situation to be negligible anyway, especially to someone who can afford/justify a car that does it in 4 seconds.

My car isn't that fast, or particularly economical, but I know I've never thought "I'd love to accelerate at full power here to show how fast my car is, but I just can't justify the pennies it will cost me"! Outside of hyper-milers I wonder how many people do actually think about it.
Ya, somehow we think that releasing a falsely imprisoned person after decades is fixing it. We made it right! Well, no, you took away a significant chunk of their life, and likely ruined the rest of it as well.

That doesn't mean, however, that we should give up. We should be more careful about taking away life and freedom, and we should seek to make prison more fulfilling, so that people can have fuller lives when we deem them safe to be let out (because we discovered our error, or because they were rehabilitated).
No punishment can be completely undone, but there are few, if any, punishments as irreparable as the death penalty.

Thanks for the link. There's some VERY suspect behavior by this guy. Is it beyond a shadow of a doubt? I don't know, but lying that the boss was running an errand to another employee the morning after he was murdered certainly seems to align closer to the "hitman's" side of the story. Now couple that with another employee being told by the boss that he was going to run the hotel if this guy got fired for embezzlement, and you have a motive, the guy lying about his boss's whereabouts after the murder, and the hitman stating that they split $4000 taken from the bosses car, and they both had well over $1000 in cash their possession when they were arrested. Honestly, it sounds like the only evidence that this guy is innocent is that another convict said that the hitman bragged about "setting the guy up". That is one heck of a setup if true.

I completely agree that the magic exists in the real, genuine human connections, the satisfaction and impact of selflessly helping others, and the act of inspiring someone to further reach toward their full creative potential. (see: http://timgrid.com/fuck-leads-generate-relationships/)

After five years of doing the community/evangelism thing, and much resistance to tracking/measuring my/our team's activities, I'm finally /gradually coming around to appreciating the concept of collecting data and performing analytics on community efforts.

The key, IMHO, is to focus on metrics that really matter, as opposed to devoting resources to surfacing meaningless ("vanity") numbers for the sake of having numbers. (see: video of a talk I gave on this topic here: http://devguild.heavybit.com/developer-evangelism/)

I believe that it's up to us to figure out how to measure the impact we have as evangelists/community professionals, because other people (coworkers, investors, partners, etc) will always demand some insight. And if we don't figure it out for ourselves, they'll try to figure it out for us (and, logically, we're better positioned in this regard than those who don't spend their time doing this stuff.)

So, in light of that, we're catalyzing a collaborative project to help figure it out together: https://github.com/keen/dashboards-dot-community.

Since we'd been working on the concept presented in the Github repo linked above, I was super excited to find Jonas's project (hence my share here on HN.)

I'd love to continue the conversation! @panbanda, maybe you'll join us on Github to provide your additional perspective?
> but what would you consider:

> > a really good reason?

Honestly, as devs, we're more susceptible to this kind of attack than the average user, not less (e.g. see XcodeGhost). System integrity protection is great for us, yet I see a great deal of hubris when it's mentioned–as if we're somehow immune, or that we audit all the code we run.

I download all manner of tools for development work, and use sudo as and when necessary, and I'm thankful there's now an extra layer of security. If I needed to modify the filesystem (e.g. if I wanted to delete an app like another poster did), I'd disable SIP temporarily to do so, and I think that's fine, but I think it would be unwise to disable it permanently, especially on a whim. I would hope that modification of these sorts of files would be rare enough that it's not a big inconvenience anyway.
I think you are underestimating polemic.
I don't think their agenda is anti union as much as it is driven by generating readership.

We see lots of these kind of on the surface interesting articles, but when it comes to having any meat, there isn't any. Just this morning on npr, there was a piece about white and Asian students being disproportionately designated as gifted, but then went on to say that there were no resources afforded those students anyway, so it was all for naught. They might as well have nominated all students as gifted because nothing accompanied such nomination.

It's like congress saying everyone is on the us presidential ballot, except everyone who is six foot three. I could complain, but it makes no difference. It's not as if you get a consolation prize.

Now, surely, _if_ they had resources behind the charade, then yes, they should try to identify all gifted students, but as is, its a meaningless designation.
Wow. No one understands how to judge probability. The prosecution brings up the lack of fingerprints at the crime scene as evidence of guilt. One can only imagine if there were fingerprints, they'd also contribute to guilt.

Later on, the prosecution notes the lack of violence while in jail as evidence for guilt because "he knows we've listed ... that he will be violent. He's not stupid." So his violence or lack thereof while imprisoned both count towards his guilt. That's just wrong.

On the other side, his story doesn't seem to hold up to much. Not that this is good enough to deal death to him, but one can see where the prosecutor is coming from. The guy admitted to covering up the murder, and there doesn't appear to be any plausible excuse.

It took me about 10 seconds of googling to find the answer explained easily for the layperson as to why you were wrong- and yet, you've never so much as taken that basic step, let alone examine any of the scientific literature on the topic, and you immediately jumped to the conclusion that the overwhelming majority of scientists who study climate and Earth sciences worldwide are wrong. There have been hundreds of papers written on the topic, all by experts who reach conclusions that disagree with you, and you examined none of that research. It is the sheer arrogance of the climate change denier that is so startling to me.

Why doesn't that argument apply to all punishments? Isn't it better to let the guilty go free than falsely imprison someone for life? There's more than an estimated 20,000 innocent in prison who are not on death row. Why are the innocent good enough to be spared the death penalty but not life in prison?
I wonder if people don't take the wrong lesson from this essay. There might not be any single 10x productivity-enhancing technology, but there have been many modest improvements. I think it's fair to say that a good programmer in 2015 is probably 10x more productive than a good programmer in 1995.

Someone reading this today might be tempted to dismiss tools they just don't understand as "not a silver bullet". However, even modest improvements are worth striving for, and if you only adopt what is "industry standard", you'll always be behind your early-adopter peers. (Or at least, those of your early-adopter peers who have good enough taste to distinguish a good, useful technology from the next shiny new thing that isn't ready for production and may never be.)

Things that have been a boon to me have been getting into Linux back in the early days when it was new-ish, the arrival of Google, learning Haskell, learning to use source control (first svn, now git), and the availability of things like Stack Overflow and Wikipedia. If I had to go back to using the tools of the mid nineties (Borland Turbo C++ on Windows 3.1, NCSA Mosaic and a 14.4kbps modem, 33mhz processors, 8 megs of ram, etc...), I could still sort of get stuff done as a programmer but really we've come a long long way since then.
I got to the twentieth slide, and I still wonder:

What does tame() itself DO?
It's entirely possible that the one that actually did the murder (Justin Sneed) came up with the idea, proposed it, and Glossip just went along with it or sanctioned it ("great idea, here's how we can do it"). Their actions would be basically identical on the outside right?
One of the most crucial aspects of the death penalty is that it is reserved for people that physically kill other human beings. The mere fact that the laws of a US state even allowed the possibility of a death sentence for someone that did not personally kill someone else is a serious problem. That's before even considering the possibility that he may have been wrongly convicted.

Personally, I don't understand why we have the death penalty in the US. First, the possibility of a wrongful conviction is real. Second, we have prisons that are brutal and allow very few escapes, making life in prison a far worse punishment than the death penalty. Remember that the death penalty for a prisoner these days consists of falling asleep and not waking up. There simply are no valid reasons to impose the death penalty in a country like the US.

Twitter's 140 characters don't really give you the space to do to really any of that. It's a great place to blast opinions and occasionally be heard but it's awful for debate or persuasion so most don't try and when you do try...it's just painful.
I enjoyed the article, but part of me was hoping - with her software background - she'd find some new lean approach to film making. I could be wrong, but the process of making a short film seems as cumbersome as making a feature. Pre-production, production, post-production, marketing, distribution. I know this will sound naive, but does making a short film have to be such an, um, production?
