I can understand the hatred, and professionalism apart (which must absolutely be expected), how would the police be expected to act when dealing with a potential trafficker with a fake passport?

Just to be more clear, potential as probability higher than a certain value (not being 100% right)
Do you have the names and badge numbers of the officers?
I agree. My point is that neither keynesianism or austerity are actual solutions they both have a lot of unknown consequence because the context they are being used in is always changing.
Disappointing article. The executive summary could be "software development is hard". Well, we knew that.
Oh, in that case I guess I'm just totally wrong. Excellent use of my own argument against me. You must be a delight at parties.
I would have said "available"... just not the forever part.
What does that even mean, a "potential trafficker"? I say that you are a potential trafficker, is it then alright for the police to make you take off all your clothes?
It feels like Uber's use case is still quite a middle/upper-middle class urban thing, and that the market hasn't decided to hand itself over to microservice taxis just yet.
You mean, a "potential trafficker with a fake passport" like you personally? Or, only if it's somebody else?
Decentralised, free, yours, Amsterdam covered in only 6 weeks. What more is there to know?
The case of the Turkish "i" is a good example of the difficulties faced by Unicode in this area. See multiple previous discussions on HN.
Reading the article I wondered what you can do/say to the police. Due to this EU "Factsheet" it seems not much:

https://e-justice.europa.eu/content_rights_of_defendants_in_...

edit: ah, that's only for "England and Wales", I misread. Someone's got link on actual EU law extract? (is there even any EU law for this?)
I'd like to know, too. Until then, you can type "ga" in normal mode to get a display of the decimal, hex, and octal value of the character under the cursor.
Regardless of weather or not the search was warranted in this case it often seems like much of the hardship and resentment could be mitigated by the tiniest amount of curtesy on the part of the police. I don't understand why cops are often (not always) such total dicks about this stuff. Does treating people like shit really further their aims? Is the thinking that some how they'll "smoke out the guilty" when their anger get's the better of them or something?
Free, decentralised, global, open, covered Amsterdam in 6 weeks and your are createing the network as you use it. What is not to like?
Sex differences in rhesus monkey toy preferences parallel those of children
I used to take these busses before because they were cheap going to and from Sweden from Germany. The only people ever questioned by the border police were non-white or eastern europeans.
Here you go:

:set statusline=%F%m%r%h%w\ [TYPE=%Y]\ [ASCII=\%03.3b]\ [HEX=\%02.2B]\ [POS=%04l,%04v][%p%%]\ [LEN=%L]
:set laststatus=2

Produces a status line when inserting and recording a macro like (the character under the cursor is 'm':

~/.vimrc [TYPE=VIM] [ASCII=109] [HEX=6D] [POS=0123,0020][67%] [LEN=182]
-- INSERT --recording

And, of course... `:help statusline`
Author here. I would say it's a bit more subtle than that.

If you have a very large cluster (1000s of machines), Mesos may well be the best fit, as you are likely to want Mesos's support for diverse workloads and the extra assurance of the comparative maturity of the project.

The big difference with Kubernetes is that it enforces a certain application style; you need to understand the various concepts (pods, labels, replication controllers) and build your applications to work with those in mind. I haven't seen any figures, but I would expect Kubernetes to scale well for the majority of projects.
I think that when you challenge powerful established interests, threaten the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people, and disrupt the established order in general, there will be a lot of stories about how awful you are circulating.

In short, everyone has become richer.

Also, outsourcing increases your own standard of living. Foreigners work while locals consume. What next, hiring a maid reduces my standard of living?
Replied with it in a sibling comment.
Hah, nice! Looking at it now, of course it makes sense. I guess I just short-circuited by thinking of the polarizer as blocking light only, and not that the reduction in intensity is the result of the projection of the previous wave direction onto the new wave plane!

EDIT: not that this makes the quantum effects any clearer ;)
That should be a comment.
I agree. The main component of safety and security--is making it part of the software development process itself. Nothing can substitute for that, and it's what the article is addressing.

Open source would be "nice", but it's just the training wheels, while safety and security baked into the process is the front tire. Might help it from not falling over but you're not going anywhere in the right direction without the right foundation.
Amgen wins EU green light for first virus-based cancer drug
Everyone is a potential trafficker, murder or criminal. That is what makes being a cop so difficult. However, the magnitude of the potential is usually determined by things like information and evidence.

> how would the police be expected to act when dealing with a potential trafficker with a fake passport?

I mean, maybe he had an amazing fake passport and body cavities full of drugs but it is a bit difficult to roll the dice on those assumptions if 1) the passport is real 2) he didn't.

They didn't have evidence. I've dabbled in my fare share of narcotics as well, and if you could "smell" it. It was only possible to mean some sort of cannibus. What human could smell an oz of Coke inside another human? Seems like a pretty broad over reach here, either straight up incompetence or racism.

How Uber plays the tax shell game
Hi. I'm the author of this blog. I'll try and keep on top of any comments or questions posted here.

Sorry it's a bit long, but hopefully I'm not the only person who finds this stuff interesting :)
There isn't. Each country will have it's own law for dealing with the police, there's not much on the EU-wide level that you could use.
That sucks, but I think I would like to hear the other side of the story before I render judgement.
Hurricane Patricia on windyty
Awesome effort! We're following Amsterdam's example in Zurich and building a TTN network over here. The initial tests went great and we're now preparing to deploy more gateways real soon!
The problem is compounded by the fact that in Chinese, there are "traditional" and "simplified" versions of many characters (with the Japanese character usually, but not always, being the same as the traditional Chinese one). And let's not even get into the different writing styles. The distinction between different characters and different ways of writing the same character is not always clear.

Well, this one's settled. Evidently, people are just evil and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Or, ya know, perhaps there's a reason why some culture have insanely higher incarceration rates than others?
Is the distinction between a private entity collecting semi-consented to location data, and the government/law enforcement collecting such data lost on you?

I say "semi-" because I'd wager that less than 5% of people read and understand the implications of the TOS they click through.

Your privacy might be dead, but don't think that everyone else's is as well.
You have compared people dying to faulty patents.

What?
I don't know enough about Greek to deeply comment on it. some people do consider using the same code point for apostrophe and citations problematic (it's definitely annoying when doing word segmentation) we also have breaking and non-breaking spaces, as well as tabs. We luckily didn't follow typewriter conventions and collapsed several alphabetic characters!

A semicolon is not considered sentence final, whereas a question mark usually is. This makes it easier for software to auto capitalize. So at least that's possible a use case.

There's also the possibility that Greek requires the top dot to be square or circle, meaning it might in fact have subtle differences in print.

Bavarian cops are known to be absolute pieces of shit. When I was younger I used to travel to Munich from Poland via bus (because it was the cheapest way), and we got stopped and frisked EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Imagine this for a second - I am a EU citizen of a country that signed the Schengen agreement, and yet I get my passport confiscated and my belongings searched every time I am in Germany. Not even a single "sorry" by the officers either.
People treat you as guilty until proven innocent.
It probably would have been worth trying to ask a question: "I have interviews for two consulting projects at X hours and Y hours. Is it likely that I will be able to make them in time?"

Possible benefits include:

-- Getting a straight answer.

-- Breaking the mental model whereby the police are dehumanizing you and/or lumping you into a certain profile.

-- Getting a response so nasty it's easier to get them into trouble later on. :)
It may be similar to people who take issue when someone warns another (especially a younger woman) of the dangers of walking around at night alone.

There is a legitimate increase in danger in some areas, but people often view it as victim blaming. The line between 'do this and you'll have a better chance of being safe' and 'if you had done this, you would have had a better chance of having been safe' can be fine.

There are also those who see such advice as misplaced (the whole don't teach people how to avoid X, teach other people to not do X).

Not saying I agree or disagree with either view point, only hypothesizing there could be a common trend of thought underlying the issues some are taking with the original post.
The key point is that technology have increasingly replaced not just manual labour but also replaced higher and higher levels of abstracted thinking.

I.e. technology now is gunning for competing with our brains too not just our muscle.

The problem with the discussion is that people often assume that it will only happen if we create robots that are as general purpose as ourselves. However no one uses everything they are to do their jobs. And so a lot of people from radiologist to factory workers will find themselves out of a job with no realistic way to re-educate themselves into areas that require them.

The horses lost to the cars and didn't find new jobs.

I don't know if technology is going to take over all the jobs but it is going to take over enough that it will require all nations to rethink society.

The longer that discussion is brushed aside the harder it's going to be to change.

Asking a question could provoke them, though.
Also, it's been reported that drivers pumped the brakes in a panic (and understandably so).

This will have the effect of reducing the power assist, which is already reduced due to high revs / low vacuum.
Consider this: the police themselves are potential traffickers with fake passports when they're off duty and out of uniform.
Bavarian bureaucrats too. What's up with Bavaria?
I have tried Swarm intensively and it is not ready at all, sadly! There is no support for pulling from private registries, there is no rescheduling if one of the nodes goes down and there is not intelligent way to manage volumes.

You are actually better of managing each server individually than using swarm.

> Edit: What do you mean "still treat it as xchg"? On those chips, isn't there no distinction between xchg and what we might retrospectively call "nop"? Perhaps this is something I'm missing.

XCHG EAX, EAX in its dumbest interpretation loads EAX into a temporary register, replaces it with the contents of EAX and restores the temporary data to… EAX. So, it is an operation that does nothing, but it does nothing in an elaborate way. You can skip it instead of executing it, but only if your other code doesn't depend on 0x90 taking exactly three clock cycles.

The "treat 0x90 as NOP and skip it instead of wasting three cycles" optimization was only done with the 486 and up, and wasn't retroactively applied to the 386 embedded versions. Doing so would have messed up their timings, and would have needed a small design change, both not interesting to that customer base.

(The 386 and derivatives were still produced for embedded use for a long, long time, past 2001 – and thus, after the introduction of AMD64. When its instruction set was drafted, new 386-based embedded devices were still designed.)
Criminal law (StGB in .de) and rules relating to proceedings in crime-related investigations (StPO in.de) are not harmonized in the EU, so no, there is no EU law for this.
I can tell you from second hand experience that this also happens to white people. I was with friends heading by car from the Netherlands to Germany and our more than white driver got a ver special handling by the police because they thought he would be driving under the effects of weed (which was definitely not the case).

Apparently there was some sort of festival happening and they assumed we would belong to another group of people and our driver looked sufficiently like a druggie I guess.

But being polite and understanding of the situation you can get out of this usually without much of a hassle.
It seems that the post is suggesting the implications of the phrasing can be taken as offensive, and trying to give a different example to express the point.

To avoid gender, consider an example which uses race instead.

>It would help humanity to also give enough focus on black child development so that we could save their future, avoid the crimes they commit and their languishing in jails.

I've only switched one word, and while some may say it is not offensive, I could clearly foresee some people finding the underlying tone as offensive.
Revolutions require a fairly equal amount of weapons. That doesn't exist today because it's not needed. Instead we have election and they take care of the anger. At the end of the day if enough people care for it. Sanders or someone like him will get elected. But there aren't enough yet to make revolutions in any way we normally think about it.

With the caveat that I don't have any person experience with the situation in Canada, I get immediately suspicious of any article that talks to a "talent gap". At least in the states, it's not hard to find a developer. What is hard however, is finding a developer that wants to code your uninspired CRUD app at below market rates and I that's the issue these bootcamps tend to address.
The stories started very early in their history and are very consistent.
Buckminster Fuller also argued we crossed the line in the 70's:

>In technology's "invisible" world, inventors continually increase the quantity and quality of performed work per each volume or pound of material, erg of energy, and unit of worker and "overhead" time invested in each given increment of attained functional performance. This complex process we call progressive ephemeralization. In 1970, the sum total of increases in overall technological know-how and their comprehensive integration took humanity across the epochal but invisible threshold into a state of technically realizable and economically feasible universal success for all humanity

-Grunch of Giants

Simply put, we've got too many cooks in the kitchen trying to work while our kitchenware can do nearly everything for us already. The reason we consider unemployment a problem is because our economy is not based on practicality but hollow morality -- i.e. "the devil finds work for idle hands to do" so we MUST keep everyone working.

UBI or some sort of "ephemeralization price adjustment system" is necessary fundamentally if we want to keep automation going. Otherwise the unemployed workers will not have the purchasing power to buy the goods produced by automation and so the machine owner will have invested in this automation and gain nothing. People must be reimbursed for the work done by the machine on their behalf or else the machine works for nothing.
Yes, seriously. This is why we can't have nice things.
That seems so strange to me since I always think of Japan as being so technologically advanced.

Granted, even here in the USA programming used to be considered "women's work", mostly revolving around planning and organization. So they passed it off to secretaries. I just didn't think that was something that was still happening.

One of the problems with embedded systems like this is that very few eyes ever see the code. Even in more regulated fields like avionics. The code will be examined primarily by the developers, testers, their QA and maybe the company that hired them if it's contracted out.

Instead, what gets examined are the artifacts like requirements documents, the results of tests, specifications and such. This allows poor code quality to be hidden, and, to some extent, encourages sloppy development practices (especially when time is critical). Exposing the code to more people will have several effects, but the main two (from my perspective) are:

* Developers won't release as much bad code, either due to pride or insistence from their management.

* Bugs may be more easily discovered and diagnosed if the code is available. As it is now, it's a black box. So if I find an issue I may be able to repeat it, but I can't examine the code to see why it's actually happening or to correct it.

Don't think for a second that the chinese will be spared when also they are too expensive.

Between 98-04 the US lost 4 million jobs t the chinese in that same period the chinese lost 18 million to the robots.

I don't think it's a matter of good or evil. It's that the decision making process for most executives is amoral. The question is not "is this good or evil?", it's "Does this help the company, or harm the company?". Executives have a duty to do things that help the company and avoid doing things that harm the company. Sometimes pursuing that leads to decisions that appear "evil" in the bigger picture, but when many people are depending on you for their livelihoods, letting the company fail and leaving them unemployed may also appear evil from that perspective. I doubt it's ever as black and white as the media likes to paint it.
not much. EU hasn't got to the point to require strong citizen protections from law enforcement for whatever reason. UK is more similar to the US since uses a similar framework, but many accepted doctrines are quite different in EU even state by state, for example about the allowance of illegally obtained evidence

It is likely sexist to acknowledge differences as being biological in origin when they are sociological in origin. Of course, some differences are biological, but the outcome of how the biological differences result in different social trends is part sociological.

For an example of a difference which is sexist, imagine someone saying women are less fit for critical roles because they are more emotional, when in fact it is that our society works to repress male expression of emotions and both men and women are, at the core, emotional entities.

You're only presenting half the story.

Only certain ideas (production methods implemented in shops or factories, for example) could be hoarded. Other ideas had to be disseminated in order to create economic value from them, like the classic example of a "better mousetrap." There's no way to sell a better mousetrap without revealing how it traps mice. Anyone who buys one can disassemble it and then build their own.

Without patents, small inventors are defenseless against bigger organizations, which can replicate the invention, manufacture it faster, and put more marketing dollars behind it.

Patent protection, like many federal laws, is a balance. On one side, it does not allow the replication of inventions without permission of the inventor, to protect small inventors. On the other side, as you mention, it requires public disclosure of the invention, so that method inventions that would normally be secret forever can eventually be used by the public.
Must be nice to live in a black and white universe where all things are absolute, must save a lot of time thinking about the world!
