I'd argue yes, simply because many anti-terrorism laws are vaguely enough written to make receiving money from, providing support to, or heck even communicating with (in some circumstances) terrorist organisations can be illegal. Plus then you have wire fraud, regular fraud, and a bunch of other financial crimes.

The real question however is not "is it legal," the real question is "will anyone prosecute me?" Jay-walking and speeding are illegal too, but people often do it because they know their chance of being caught and punished is relatively low.

If a prosecutor knew you scammed a terrorist organisation, while I'm sure they could find something to nail you with, they might decide it isn't worth while. But then again, misunderstandings seem highly likely with this kind of scam, and they might claim that you yourself thought it was a real explosive device or planned (future tenths) to build one.

So I guess, even if you "could" I don't know if you "should." It only can really bite you in the butt.
So the juvenile act of putting (what appears to be) electrical tape on photos now classifies as a "gross hate crime"?
This is where those who understand how to sell themselves have an edge: The convince the employer that the skills they have are sufficient, and the salary they're demanding is a fair price. (This is also why companies don't sell you their products by replying to your 'user seeks product' post with a product's 'resume'.)
Your nightmare scenario is missing some important facts.

80% of antibiotic use in the USA goes to farm animals, not people. We could therefore significantly reduce the amount of antibiotics in our environment without affecting human lives.

You could make another very significant reduction by keeping doctors from prescribing antibiotics so often to placate patients who really don't need them.

This would go a long way towards reducing bacterial resistance without changing what treatments are available for truly sick people.

From what I remember, very little if anything she mentions in that song is actually irony. Mostly just bad luck.

Edit: Wow - never occurred to me that this might have been the point of the song.
Yes. The investment bankers and mutual fund companies fucked Square for $100M. The difference between this and other IPOs is that Square is undercapitalized at this point and needs the cash, so the 100M would have gone a long way.
Elm is a much, much smaller community than React. You won’t find as many libraries and ready-made components in Elm as you would in React. On the other hand, when there is an Elm library for something, it’s often of very high quality.
It would have been interesting if Atari or Commodore had continued their 8-bit lines on the '816 instead of chasing after the 68k.

A 65c816 with Jay Miner's Amiga/Lorraine chipset would have been a natural successor to the Atari 8-bit series.

My impression is the Apple IIGS was deliberately handicapped by pressure of the Jobs/Mac partisans at Apple. It could have gone out with a higher clock and been a contender.

As someone who has been switching back and forth: The ability to customize Firefox is nice, but:

Chrome has most features I need and makes up for missing ones with nicer implementations of others, or has them before Firefox does. Firefox freezes regularly for seconds, feels slower in many situations and degrades quicker if you open to many tabs (Chrome just eats ton of RAM, but can deal with many hundreds of open tabs otherwise). Oh, and faulty sites crash the entire Firefox instance instead of just a tab.

Firefox is about to get multiprocess feature in full releases, I hope this will fix many of these issues.
I've been an avid user of SeatGeek ticket search since the beta, snd I despise selling my unused tickets on StubHub. Knowing how well the rest of their offering is put together, I'm pretty excited to try out the selling side. Curious how the fees compare, which didn't seem to be mentioned.

I find the Elm language quite fun and I think it has potential.

However, I'm absolutely not convinced about "the Elm architecture" for anything but the simplest UIs. Is pure functional reactive programming suitable for ambitious UIs ? I do not think so.

React has its own set of flaws but at least I believe it nailed the state problem: Encourage the minimization of local state but still make it easy to have some when necessary. I like functional programming a lot but I think this is a case where good old object oriented encapsulation provides a more pragmatic solution.

There are all sorts of transient states that a parent's component shouldn't have to care about (Whether I currently have focus, a transient list of changes not yet committed that should be thrown away should I navigate away, is the calendar drop-down opened?, etc, etc) Elm makes it hard to have truly rich and reusable components for that reason as all that transient state must leak to the parent components.

But that's still doable at least, if cumbersome; some other things simply appear impossible, like coding a ReactTransitionGroup equivalent. This React component encapsulates the concept of a changing-over-time list of children and animate in/out the children that changed across two redraws. It needs to know about the previous list of children to diff it with the new. It needs to manipulate the actual Virtual nodes passed to it so that it temporarily leaves the exiting nodes till their animation finished, etc. This thing has tons of state and it needs it to do its job; and it's fine. How would you do this in Elm without leaking the abstraction at every call site ? (I'm looking for a pragmatic, easy-to reuse by everybody solution, not some convoluted sliding Signal of component lists ;-) )

I'm wondering whether performance tweaks should be the focus right now; Elm already had good performances. The issue is adoption, and if it's too convoluted to write (non trivial) reusable components, I don't see how it can succeed. Right now I would never start a complex project with it in fear of getting stuck with a medium-complexity task because the architecture didn't foresee my problem.

Maybe the architecture provide some escape hatches I didn't see, and I would love to be proven wrong.
In this case Starbucks paid for it. But something similar could happen with a Square transaction where they may be held responsible. Was just making a point that there are costly lessons to be learnt in the world of processing.

I order $400,000 of goods from you. You have to make and deliver those goods to me, and I pay you 30 days after you invoiced me.

Your challenge is to come up with $X00,000 of funding at a time when it's tricky to get loans.

Your other challenge is to either hope your current suppliers can suddenly increase their capacity, or that you can find a supplier who can fill your demand.

If you're making the product you need to employ and train extra staff, and hope they fit in whatever building you have.

And you need place to store raw material, product being built, and built product ready for shipping.

None of the examples in the song are actually ironic (i.e. taking an action with the intention of causing A which actually prevents A [or vise versa]). "Rain on your wedding day" isn't ironic, as "getting married" isn't attempting to prevent rain.

However, writing a song that's supposed to be chock-full of ironic things where not a single one actually demonstrates irony IS ironic.

So the song is meta-irony.

Said it a million times and I'll say it a million more: you don't learn how to work by sitting in class, you learn to work by going to work. College is expensive and it isn't right for everyone.

We need publicly funded apprenticeships starting at 16 so anyone can get a job and real training at a reduced cost to the employer.

> “I know I am a creative person who can do many of these jobs, but I think employers have these expectations that an applicant must bring a mid-level professional’s work experience and technical skills — even though it’s only an entry-level job,”

Well if they can find people who do have that experience and skill level, why would they hire you instead? It's simply a matter of supply and demand.

The current situation in France is making me very conflicted about privacy and public liberties.

I am a strong believer of the value of privacy for a modern society. I even want to dedicate my life to help building privacy enhancing technologies and censorship-resistant networks. Because I think that an "advanced" world can only thrive if information is unrestricted, or unstoppable.

But today I face a dilemma. The dilemma of choosing between freedom and privacy, and security.

I am French, and have a lot of family in Paris. My brother lives two streets from the Bataclan and lost one of his friends. Some of my friends lost 5, sometimes 10 people that night. Imagine loosing two thirds of your group of friends in a few hours. This is frightening.

When I look at France. I see a great country, with a lot of humanity and when I look at the French, I see a freedom loving people who share a love for good food, good music and generally speaking, the good things that life has to offer.

But I also see the failure of my country in the suburbs. With entire neighborhoods that have been left uncontrolled by the government at some point, and who never went back to that state despite lots of efforts. These neighborhoods are rigged with crime and violence, and have been a fertile environment for religious lunatics to grow stronger for the last twenty years.

And I have mixed feelings. The French National Assembly has extended the state of urgency to three months. Strengthening the regalian power of the state and weakening the counter-balancing power of the Judicial branch.

Hundreds of raids have been coordinated through France, most being in those "uncontrolled areas". And it seems to work.

Which prompt me to think that this might be for the better. For the most part of my "short" life, I have thought that a people should never "trade freedom for security". But I have come to the, perhaps wrong, conclusion that there can't be "freedom without security" either.

Maybe we should give up some freedom to let the "good guys" crackdown hard on the "bad guys".

But maybe it isn't. Maybe fear is clouding my judgement.
>I think you may be misunderstanding something. The owner of the copyright has exclusive rights to prepare derivative works (or authorise someone else to do so). There are certain exceptions. What's unclear about this?

The fact that "certain exceptions" weren't mentioned in the first comment. I quote: "the copyright owner of the original work has the exclusive right to prepare derivative works, regardless of whether the derivative work is published, distributed or used in any other way."

There was no reference to "certain exceptions", "fair use" and the possibility of "minimal" (and thus allowed) changes.

That, plus the use of "used in any other way" (a "standard legal language" as you say) as part of a casual language comment, left the impression to the reader that only the copyright owner or someone with permission from them can create derivative works, period.

So while this is cleared out now after the extra explanations, the initial comment was quite unclear.
If we also give people free money, in addition to paying for housing and healthcare, it will entice some people to not work, leaving the jobs market for people that want to work. Just imagine all those government jobs filled with people that don't really do anything.
That's an interesting way to look at it. How common are secondary offerings? I had the impression that they were pretty rare, but I can't think of where I got that idea.

I tried to bring in MonkeyBrains but the building administration refused, saying they would have to drill into load-bearing columns. Just an excuse.
Boy, HN really needs to hear this. Nobody likes sarcasm around here.
> In some ways I can understand that employers are much more reluctant to spend money on developing employees as programs such as pensions that used to create a long term relationship between the employee and employer no longer tend to exist.

1) Just provide tuition assistance with a payback period if an employee spends less than X years at the company.

2) Similarly, provide bonuses after X years for positions you need to train for.

Its not hard to get people to stick around 5+ years if you pay well and aren't toxic culturally with a 10% bonus every X years. My boss basically prices me out of the market every year so there isn't even a point in looking for a job.

I think the real problem is the CEO/CTO/etc in large companies are focused on what I can do this quarter/year that will make me look good. They aren't focused on X years down the road.
Yeah; this happens a lot with big tech IPOs. Typically they will spike on day 1 with lots of individual investors buying in to the hype train. I would expect to see Square drop precipitously over the next week/month as the professional investors can make money by pushing the valuation down, then it'll stabilize somewhere near the IPO price in 6-12 months. Company fundamentals have very little to do with share price in the first year or two of an IPO; it's almost entirely psychological.

And nobody's been claiming that late-stage investors are dumb; in fact quite the opposite. Late stage investors tend to be very large, professionally managed equity funds - they are as savvy as investors get, and they're strong-arming early stage investors into unfavorable liquidation preferences. They're also the type of investor to have media / analyst contacts they can use to push down the IPO price knowing that it's going to pop. The discussion with late stage investors is really "the fact that late-stage investors are sucking up a disproportionate share of the profits from unicorn exits is endangering the VC investment model".

Excuse my French but that man is a piece of shit. Victim blaming at its finest and a totally uncalled for, totally irrelevant, very misinformed political opinion.

I do realize I'm on HN and this is not the place to discuss this, but I had to react as this hits a nerve (obviously).

If you think the French welfare state is a production of our current socialist government, newsflash: it's not. As for France being a paradise for immigrants, we can't even get the Syrians refugees to come here to fulfill the quotas Europe imposed on us.

It's ironic that her song is named "Ironic" and yet every purported example of irony falls short of being actual irony.

And no I'm not ignoring Occam's razor here...Morissette is a talented songwriter, which likely means she is also a decent student of literary technique...and even if she weren't, what is the statistical probability that _all_ of the dozen or so "ironic" situations that she chose to enumerate in "Ironic" could fall short of irony in exactly the kind of way that annoys the shit out of everyone who knows the actual definition of irony?

(and no, I was not smart or cool enough to understand this at the time of the song's popularity, or even the decade afterward...I'm pretty sure I read this insight off of Reddit or a blog's comment section, which is probably itself an ironic thing)

As the job market gradually improves, businesses say they aren’t finding enough savvy graduates who can start contributing from day one on the job.

Can someone decode this euphemism? Even people that have been working at the same company as I am can't transfer to my project and start contributing on day one. Hell, they'll drag down my productivity for a while to get ramped up. So all I see is a desire to have the ramp shorter...

So you can see why I'm struggling to find any point in this article that doesn't boil down to "I want someone with industry workspace experience, at the cost of someone with zero experience."
More people are immigrating to the US from Latin America, than are leaving back to Latin America.

Mexico specifically appears to have finally hit an economic level of opportunity where people wanting to leave to the US has slowed down significantly. However, the rest of Latin America isn't doing nearly as well as Mexico. Mexico's GDP per capita is now above Russia, Brazil, Turkey; and their unemployment rate is at 3.8% (4.4% urban). China's manufacturing labor costs are now above Mexico's; that will continue to increase US manufacturing shifting some things away from China and to Mexico, bolstering their economic performance.

These sorts of bootcamps are more along the lines of an employment agency. They make the recruits pay the recruiting fee rather than the hiring company. They also maintain strong relationships with the hiring companies because they've trained the recruits well. I'm not sure how that alters your calculus for the value based on the recruit / student's benenefit, but it is definitely a good value for prospective employers. Also, I imagine these job placement agencies in disguise are much better at helping their students find work than a university even if they are not as good at traditional style education.
