It's not a matter of who is better or more justified than the other person. A hurt employee is never a good thing. It is rarely justified. When you employee security guards, the absolutely last thing you want is them being hurt. This isn't the wild west. They are not to put their lives on the line to defend your factory. Sometime that means not doing the justified thing. Sometimes that means backing off and letting the police handle things. If that means retreating if and when a trespasser enters a vehicle, so be it. If that isn't in the manual now, it will be soon.

( I do know that retail security guards are regularly trained not to peruse thieves into parking lots precisely because of dangers created once vehicles are involved. )

> How many people treat github as an online resume? These projects are meant primarily to show off people's coding capabilities in order to sell service

That's what it is now, and the reason it happened was because Github was full of projects created out of a sense of altruism and fun, and it got respected this way. Yes, the respect and popularity Github has stems not from code-resume-builders, but from the altruists and people doing fun shit for fun that came before.

You see, this is a pattern that repeats all over software industry, the whole Internet included. First you start with people doing something to actually do it (i.e. as a terminal goal). Then whatever useful and/or fun they made gets recognized, popularized, and some people smell a money making opportunity (i.e. doing stuff as an instrumental goal, to get money). The business comes and the whole environment turns to shit.

This happens so often to me. Please, people, add height/width to your images so that when the image loads/fails to load, the layout doesn't change.

And if you're using HTML5 postMessage for resizing iframes without scrolling, please use a fading animation on the height attribute. Side note: WHY ISN'T AUTO HEIGHT SPEC'D IN HTML5?!?!?!?!?

Oh, one thing I forgot: many, many people are too fucking stupid to deploy proper caching (e.g. using ETags, proper Expires headers,...) on their assets, thus causing needless requests. And for "larger scope" stuff you can use a HTML5 cache manifest to restrict all the queries for expiration to a single one for the manifest file.

> Does the business turn a profit? Is the profit greater than their payroll? How many founders know their EBIDTA?

The first two questions are considerably more important than the third. That many founders do not know answers to the first two is less excusable than knowing a fairly specific accounting metric.
Actually, it's not. It's Murder 2, or Murder in the 2nd degree. Premeditation is Murder in the first degree. All that's required for murder is a) intent to harm (not premeditation), and b) death. Given that running over someone kills them, this is definitely attempted 2nd degree murder.

Edit: I forgot, intention to commit a felony carries premeditation, so it would even be attempted first degree murder

This. I had something similar happen a year or two ago; I enrolled in a course at a local university, and about midway through the semester Facebook suggested that I friend the instructor.

I was friends with no one else in the course, had never posted about the course on FB, or anything else that I could think of.

Of particular note was that his had all happened after I had to drop from the course due to health issues.

> While true to some extent, if we want these people to keep making more of this "best content", we should also enable them to "make a buck out of it". Else they will (and do) go do something else to make a buck and we'll be worse off for it.

I agree, but there is a subtle difference in mindset here I think a lot of people miss - creating something to make money is a different thing from creating something and making money on it. Instrumental vs. terminal values. We want to have more people building things so that those things exist (i.e. making fun movies so that they're fun, or building tools to solve a problem), support them by e.g. making sure they aren't bothered by stuff like food and shelter - paying them. What we want to have less is people making things in order to make money off it, because their incentives are to create worst possible thing that still sells.

> How often do people get paid for open source projects? How often do people get paid for writing custom, proprietary code? If your answers to these questions don't make obvious the fallacy of your statement above, all I can say is you're living in a bubble.

Of course people are paid more for writing propertiary code, and I'm also aware of the trend to pay people for making open-source code which will be then monetized by e.g. charging for support. But this is irrelevant to the topic. Even most of the tools you use for your daily work as a programmer would still exist if suddenly no one got paid for code anymore.

My point is - code and art is something better if done by someone who cares primarily about them than by someone who cares primarily about the paycheck for them.
I think this goes well beyond that. I've had FB suggest neighbors to me even though we have never exchanged emails or friends etc.
Under which circumstance does pulling up stop a stall, exactly?
Based on the text of the article:

> Once the Sheriff’s Department arrived on the scene, they arrested one of the RGJ employees for two counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon

I'd have to say the police are right and you're wrong. Assault with a deadly weapon seems much more appropriate than attempted murder. Nobody died, there was no intention to kill anybody, and there was no action taken that was particularly likely to cause death. "Deadly weapon" covers it.

In California it seems quite likely to be second degree attempted murder and aggravated battery; even if it was only the second, those offenses, taking into account the potential enhancement for great bodily injury enhancement, have overlapping ranges of potential sentences, so neither is necessarily more severe legally.

As always I'm skeptical of reliable device identification. Claiming to have it almost sounds like claiming to own a hen that lays golden eggs. Their blurb about it doesn't do much to convince me so far:

Through our company, we have some customer who want us to integrate
into HAProxy the ability to detect device type and characteristics and
report it to the backend server. We got a couple of contributions from
2 companies experts in this domain: 51 degrees and deviceatlas. You
can now load those libraries in HAProxy in order to fully qualify a
client capabilities and set up some headers your application server
can rely on to adapt content delivered to the client or let the
varnish cache server use it to cache multiple flavor of the same
object based on client capabilities.

More on this blog later on how to integrate each product.

But it would be a nice surprise if it performed well.
I still am yet to understand how a self driving car deals with a cop directing traffic. Or even a construction worker holding traffic back from a backing up backhoe. But maybe I am not aware of the genius of the technology yet.
Yeah, and at this point it wouldn't hurt if they all just died - they provide negative utility to society by oscillating between mostly writing lies and clickbait bullshit.

(INB4 you reflexively downvote me for saying bad things about Respectable Newspapers, take a moment to think about the last time they wrote something in your area of expertise and note how big a mix of lies, bullshit and misunderstanding the article was. There is no reason to assume that everything else they cover is true.)

Journalism has a much bigger problem than just their business model being ruined by digitization. They need to figure out a business model that incentivizes actual, honest reporting.
"throughout the total company, women are actually compensated .28 percent more than men. But the gap persists for women in technical roles: Women in technical positions make .11 percent less than men, while women in non-technical roles make .35 percent more than men."

So the gender gap favours women over all, goes both ways depending on whether the role is technical or not, and is within a fraction of a percent in both cases?

Can the gender gap reasonably get any better than that?

Perhaps the most important underlying point in the article.

The article has lots of words and stupid pictures so here is a summary: if you give someone your number (via any app or medium) and they have the FB app installed, it will recognize it as the number of a user and trigger the friend suggestion.

I'd expect it to make the most legal sense for Tesla to avoid posting this, if it is in fact true, until the case has been prosecuted. (I am not a lawyer.)

While I like Tesla, it seems like one of those situations where it is best to take a statement like this with a grain of salt until more information is released by a party other than Tesla.

I do find it surprising that most people here aren't more skeptical since it feels like something is missing.

The hospital robots seem like the closest analogue for now, as it's automation being held back by needing to coexist with inferior-performing humans. If it were only robots in the hallway, it'd likely go a lot faster, no? Just like if it were only computers driving the cars, following distances could be greatly reduced because they can react faster.
Ask HN: Open source software to self-host 30+GB of photos and videos?
I have too much media to share with friends and family for free on the cloud. I would also like to retain control over the files.

I think the best way to sum up what I'm looking for is an open source version of Google Drive's file browser that I can hook up to a hard drive and access over the web. Dropbox is also comparable.

Desired features (roughly descending importance): Loads thumbnails quickly, loads images on-demand as you scroll, allows larger photo previews, single file downloads, batch file downloads (as zip), video previews, light on resources (ideally will run on a small ARM computer), simple to deploy (preferably no php or web server configuration, etc), authentication, progressive jpeg.

I've tried OwnCloud, Seafile, h5ai, Expose, and Mediagoblin. Each was either difficult to deploy, didn’t include enough features, or was too slow/would freeze.
The instructor imported the contact list for the class at some point, establishing the link from him/her to you. There's no reason to assume it's not a bi-directional link with regards to contact suggestions.

Cars are not particularly inclusive of people older than 5 and younger than 16, people too old to drive safely (okay, they are, but they shouldn't be), people who don't have several hundred dollars per month for a payment + insurance + gas + maintenance, people whose apartments don't have parking spaces (seriously, why drive if the nearest parking space to your home is sometimes further than the nearest train station?), etc.

They may exist, but that's not the fundamental difference between Tesla and <enter most all other brands>. The first difference is long-term buyer delight and is clearly shown in the first sentence of the linked article: "Model S is designed to to keep getting better over time." Everyone else's stance? That was last years model - if you want the new UI and/or new features buy the current model year car. There is, most often, zero expectation for car buyers today to expect upgrades or enhancements that are as drastic and as positively interesting as how Tesla approaches it.

The second, and likely more critical differentiator (IMO), is security. Mr. Musk would not accept public shaming of such magnitude like this:

http://www.wired.com/2015/09/gm-took-5-years-fix-full-takeov...

And I only pick on GM here since, well, you work there. When it comes to software in cars Tesla treats it as a true part of the vehicle engineering. Others seems to still treat it as an afterthought - and then the question starts to linger: how good is the software in all of the other vendors "features"? How much QA have they done with regard to lane keep, blind spot, adaptive cruise, etc?

I don't own a Tesla, I really wish I did, but if I had to place a wager on a car manufacturers QA process and ability to build fault tolerant vehicle systems I would pick Tesla to oust the competition handily at this point. While I realize it's a subjective matter, and there's really no good way to compare, the directive of the company seems pointed in a more apt approach than others.

I think that relatively few startups would get started if they all had to be 'default alive' - founding a startup would be limited to folks who were already independently wealthy. The point of the article, I think, is that if you're 'default dead', you should know that you're default dead, and your attention should be focused on getting to a state where you're 'default alive'.
