I have no idea if gangsters partake in lobbying but I find it hard to believe it would be the main cause for the continuing policies. Some hold the view that the war on drugs is mainly ideological. Chomsky has quite a critical view of the matter. E.g.

"So there are two possibilities: Either those conducting the Drug War are lunatics, or they have another purpose."

Must the hard part be about coding?

There are plenty of projects with hard challenges. I'm working with live videostreaming using WebRTC and I've come across plenty of problems I don't want to touch with a ten-foot pole - my approach is exactly opposite yours, I want to go along the path of least resistance and leverage existing infrastructure as much as I can.

The Mozilla team welcomes contributions, maybe you can ask to help on the WebRTC team?

The "community of websites" idea is perhaps misleading that way. Websites in this context are, pretty much, analogous to your Twitter or Facebook page.
Really nice work. This doesn't seem to an official site of BMW, though!?

Porsche[1] and Renault[2] did something similar lately. It's great to see WebGL used for this in production. Honestly, I'm surprised it took so long. Visualizing cars with WebGL seems like a no brainer, especially when most current websites load dozens of images for their "360° views".

When Tesla's autopilot goes wrong
As somebody who encounters a dozen cyclists every day, it DOES matter and the "do whatever we want" behavior of many, many, many, many, cyclists is a big problem.

Some of the stop signs on my path are 5-way, which are already screwed up enough without having to guess which random direction a cyclist will coast from (usually endangering pedestrians and cars alike).

When I am trying to turn right at a stop sign, a disturbing number of times a cyclist will approach from somewhere and decide to coast around the corner while I am turning too. Then I have to worry about seeing him when he should have STOPPED.

I also see cyclists turn from pretty much anywhere they want. They don't use hand signals, they don't switch to the driving lane, they just randomly hang a left in front of you while you're approaching a stop.

Cyclists expect to share the road, they need to obey the rules. It really can't be any simpler than that.
I've seen cities near to me get burned by this. There was a water bottling plant that got a lot of subsidies and tax breaks from a nearby city believing that it would create a lot of jobs for locals.

Turns out you don't need very many people to run a water bottling facility of this nature and most of it is automated.

I've heard similar for data centers. Huge tax breaks believing they'll bring in a lot of jobs. People in town train hoping to be employed. Maybe 50-100 people actually required.

Places need to do a better job researching how much job creation is actually going to come out of this tax breaks and subsidies.
There are a lot of stories lately that throw the idea of "union" in "European Union" into question. The tax discrepancies are just part of the picture; the varied immigration policies are also getting a lot of attention. Hopefully the EU can find a way to see itself as a truly unified whole, which would be of great benefit to the world.

It's frustrating as fuck, believe me. But it is what it is.
I'd be interested to know if HN moderators take note of this kind of behavior and consider blocking domains that have a history of doing this kind of thing.

Even though it's probably not a big deal to EFF, it's almost certainly a big deal to whoever is making money on other peoples' content. Not that I have noticed a problem on HN with this kind of thing before, but it seems it's the sort of thing that if it goes unchecked can potentially degrade quality given that HN would become a target for that sort of thing.

I personally wouldn't mind if a few of those articles didn't show up if the submitter was blocked, since it would only mean the submitter wasn't interested in doing the work to find the original source.
I believe that these complex multi-billion $ projects fail for 2 reasons :

- personal ambition : "let's choose what's best for my career instead of what's best for the project"

Unless we radically change the way we do things the IEEE will need bigger and bigger green circles on their charts.
I'm not really going to argue with you, if you can make numba perform - great! We're aiming at providing middle ground. Situations where the code is heavy on numerics, but complex enough that numba either can't handle it at all or is not performing very well. That covers some usecases and from what you're saying very likely not yours, but that's ok. We don't have to cater to everyone and there is a place for tools like pypy (also in numerics) and tools like numba :-)
Wouldn't special tax breaks for large multinationals make it more difficult for local business to compete?
Printing is a separate concern to modern publishing - if people want to read paper versions of academic work, they can foot the bill. Academic editors often work free for scientific publishers, and very few journals employ copy editors (though some do). Typesetting for the internet can be automated.

Nobody needs to pay more, but the publishers should certainly be making less profit. What really needs to happen is the publishers need to be replaced by more efficient ones. See for example Scholastica, who provide the entire journal infrastructure for $10/article. Or the PeerJ, charge just $99/year to publish with them.

Some good points are raised here, but, I feel like the author glosses over the significance to developing soft-skills and interpersonal relationships in terms of career growth. The growing connection between the employee and manager might not directly lead to a raise but it's a strong investment in opening future doors through that network.

I'm not sure saying "social networking website" is enough. It's a very, very wide term.

I've tried mentioning a few tools, but there's really no point until you define what exactly your needs are and on what level. Would you like to build it from the scratch, install something that's Open Source or maybe use some SaaS that offers features that you need? What do you need it for, you want to start a new project or organize something within your team?

You really need to be more specific if you want some serious answers.
It's hard to take someone seriously when they ascribe floating point rounding error to a language defect.
I see people all the time quite convincingly saying (with a friendly, disarming smile) "oh no, it's no problem at all!" when in fact it is a problem, they don't want to do whatever it is, internally they're distressed. But social conventions (of varying power depending on the culture they grew up in) are forcing them to say "yes", and do it convincingly.

It's actually easier if someone demands a favor and they are obviously rude/inconsiderate about it; it's more "okay" to respond to rudeness with a refusal or excuse.

But some people are unable to say "no" to polite requests for assistance even when they have to lie to accept convincingly. Even if it's hugely inconvenient for them, and only of minimal benefit to the asker. So they say "yes", and probably do whatever it is, and then will try to find a way to avoid the asker in future (don't pick up their calls, etc).

There's some argument that everyone would benefit from a more "American" (ideal, not always real) and more direct approach -- e.g., someone asks "would it be easy for you to..." and you answer "sorry, no", and no one is upset. But this is next to impossible in some cultures, and there's also value in (if you're the asker) putting more thought into how you can value other peoples' time more accurately.

Why does that matter? Humans are free to choose where they work. If somebody makes a better offer why should we condemn it just because they want to cause trouble for your current employer too?

This language around "poaching" is just another way that companies try to protect each other at our expense. Us engineers should be rejoicing when companies want to make great offers to hire us away, not condemning it.

Japanese has different words for numbers based on what is counted. For each number 1-9 there's a Chinese-derived word and a native Japanese word. Numbers >10 always use Chinese pronounciations, except for numbers like 20 or 30 which might have a special word for them (if you're counting days or life years). Also number 4 is unlucky and has to be skipped when counting rooms or floors.

Just wanted to chime in and agree, the camera control is slick. So many 3D apps have atrocious camera controls.
Agree, but the publishers will only take those reduced profits if they feel threatened. So start with motivating scientists to choose open access journals if you want to do it the legal way. I don't understand why scientists first pick a journal that takes their rights to their paper away and then offer it for free via "secret codes". Seems to me they are supporting the current, closed system.
What would be the connection?

Try replying to the points I raised. Responses like yours which essentially state "we can't discuss this issue as a group because of some social norm I don't like" really do scream out that someone doesn't want to bite into the meat of the issue.
Perhaps I did judge that world too hastily.

Does actually mention the 80 character line length limit at the top of the article, just under the TOC:

This took a short while to figure out, but it is so true.

It can be best observed in white-blue color.
The automatic thing is just an automatic exploit of the same issue[0] (forcefully cutting power rather than powering off with the buttons might make it more reliable.) It's called an iPBOX and AFAICT it doesn't support iOS 8.1.1[1], when the issue was fixed.

Other commentors have pointed out that the PIN/crypto stuff is handled by dedicated hardware designed to resist tampering, probably pretty much state-of-the-art. The issue before was a software issue. Now that it's fixed it's very hard to completely hack the hardware and would have to be done to each phone individually: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10424439 I'm not an expert, but I imagine intercepting the signal would be just as hard, as the signal is contained within one tiny chip and it might not even be possible to reliably modify a circuit on that scale. You can't just replace the chip with a no-PIN version either, because it contains a unique crypto key to the data you presumably want from the phone. This also makes modifying the chip difficult, because if you screw up you could lose the key.

Once again, legislation is playing catch-up to technology...

I'm looking forward to seeing more research done in this area. Obviously, drones give us incredible opportunities, but we need to do a cost/benefit calculation before we know what regulation would be sensible. And if we don't know the cost/risk factor, we can't do that, can we?

A Cartoon Intro to Redux
I completely agree, but I'd still say that this is true only for the IT industry and only for some roles. You wouldn't do that if you're a high profile CEO.
The proposals do not address the elephant in the room and the very reason Safe Harbor collapsed: The NSA and the ability of the US government to override any treaty to access any data using secret warrants.

It is that which killed Safe Harbor, and none of the proposals at the end of the article would be immune to that weakness again.

It would remain the case that the proposals made would not be in line with the clear ruling that the European court gave if the US government can continue to override international treaties and their own courts.
> I also don't like it but the paper needs be printed and reviewed.

- Reviews are always free (nobody gets paid for reviewing academic paper, in contrast to grant proposal for which we are sometimes paid)

- I have not seen a printed version of a journal for a while (except the very big ones like Nature or Science, but we buy them mostly for the news/view section, not that much for the academic papers at the end)

- Copy editors never did anything useful to my papers. In CS, we usually submit a nice latex file and they do not really do any work on the layout (it might be different in other fields, where people submit crappy MS Word files).

... so, let's say that the added value of the publisher (even for PLOS) is marginal...

You're definitely falling prey to a short-sighted and overly cynical point of view.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" and never use the stupidity explination to overlook the fundamental complexity of a software project.

What you have here is a lot of non IT professionals, without siginificant IT experience, attempting the most complex IT projects ever considered, without the pressures of ship-or-sink, investors looking for progress reports, or even the benefit of working with their own employees (usually multiple groups of contractors work on these big projects). Also, they're not trying to build a MVP and iterate. They're trying to build Rome in a few years.

When you think about the hurdles these projects face, of course they fail. The government trying to do a huge software project is like a kid seeing a master level parkour video on Youtube and not understanding the lifetime of practice that went into the sport. They're just going to jump off the roof and break their ankle.

Of course in a sample size this large corruption is an issue. However, with zero corruption and only the best intentions, we'd see substantially the same results.

Mobile point-of-sale startup SumUp launches in the US
Fundamentally, we're talking about the dissemination of knowledge. Yes, it is copyright infringement, but calling this "piracy" immediately associates this act with both theft and brutal disregard for the law.[0] That is not what is happening here.

With that said---I'm a Nature subscriber, and I'm pleased to see the emphasis on "Open Access" by many scientists and organizations. Hopefully this trend will continue, and silly issues like individuals requesting PDFs from fellow scientists won't be termed "piracy".

Also, legally you're not bound to sign any severance agreement. You can lose whatever severance pay that would be given, but it's not contingent for employment if the employer has no objections.

Since you know html and css . . .

Buy a domain at any registrar . . .

Buy hosting from some place like hostgator (even for a month just to play around with it). When you purchase your hosting set your primary domain to the domain you purchased.

At your domain registrar point(chanage) the A record to your hostgator hosting IP address this is in the cpanel DNS.

Create a simple html page, name is index.html

Now FTP your html and css in to the public_html folder on your hostgator hosting.

So enter your domain in a browser and it should display your html page you uploaded.

It might take some time for the DNS to resolve but usually it's ready pretty fast.

Now you have your feet wet with setting up a basic website you can look in to hosting a MEAN stack. For that I'd recommend hosting on Digital Ocean.

Another recommendation is to connect with classmates already doing this stuff. They can make recommendations and give you some one on one assistance.
