In the case of Clue it looks like they are selling data insights, although it looks more like they're interested in overall trends rather than individuals (caveat: based on their marketing). They're already quite big at 22 staff (the 4 you saw on the site are the founders), and they're still hiring. That's all paid for with VC cash at the moment. I don't imagine they can easily cover that level of burn without targeting enterprise customers once the inventment runs out, which likely will be things like white label apps sold directly to health care providers - in European countries there's often one major provider that's run by the government. Selling a white-labelled app to them that can save the provider a large sum of money wouldn't be that hard.

> The problem in the USA is not violent crime.

Just to clarify, I didn't mean "violent crime" is the problem, I was talking about limited resources in the justice system. It's the ratio of crimes to trial resources that causes this problem, not the raw number of either alone. Scarcity / imbalance forces a dilemma, a dilemma that's tempting to ignore, because it's a hard problem.

Sometimes hard problems look simple to people who have never worked in the profession. It's like how people who've never written code ask, "Why don't programmers just write software without any bugs / that can't be hacked?"

On the other hand, sometimes an outsider has a fresh perspective that can point out flaws in old habits.

Could be either here, but let me explain why I think it's the former.

I worked in the criminal justice system in a major metro area. Most the people I knew in the profession swapped between defense and prosecution every few years, because they were interested in the process, not in scoring points for one side.

I strongly suspect that's because people who don't have that mixed perspective, the people who are just overzealous to one extreme or the other, they are worse at connecting with judges, who pride themselves on impartiality. Their crusader bias makes them bad at their job, so eventually they get burnt out and leave.

That's not to say there aren't obstacles to fairness in the US justice system. Real problems. There are a ton, some on each side. For example: Public defenders are vastly under-resourced. Prosecutors have resource dilemmas, but defenders are just fucked. Juries have zero sympathy for victims that aren't like them. Jurisdictions that are right next door to each other can approach low level crimes way differently, because of uneven resources, so walking a block can turn a no jail time misdemeanor into a ten year offense. Those with psychological problems or mental disabilities should basically never be put in front of a jury, as either a victim or as a defendant. Also, the mentally ill need solutions that aren't jail, but they're often shoehorned into a system that only makes their situation worse.

Having seen all that on a day to day basis, the problem you described, where prosecutors just love framing innocents because fuck justice? That doesn't line up with my experience at all. I mean, I'm all for safeguards, but there are some other issues too, some of which seemed slightly more common to me.

Based on the maps and Street View imagery, I only see one potentially safer road nearby (C727/C725; C726 is just as narrow). Other roads in the area are either dead ends (a problem for obvious reasons) or unpaved (a problem for a large share of recreational riders on traditional road bikes).

I have been with Hetzner since 1999, and I have hosted with AWS for 2 or 3 years, before moving back to Hetzner, and I keep wondering when AWS will have anything to match Hetzner's price/performance.

Someone from AWS proactively called me up out of the blue the other day to ask for input and to interview me about what I need, and offered to quote. I received a phone call or two and two emails and after mentioning the exact specs and price I get from Hetzner, and being genuinely interested in perhaps getting a competitive quote, I waited and received no reply for some time and then the following:

"I'm sorry for my late response. I’ve been pretty busy these days…"

"I had a look at what your technical specifications below and I'd like to understand a bit more what type of business you're doing."

"One of AWS's main strengths lies in the scalability of our platform."

"How much is the % of usage of your dedicated server? What happens if it reaches the maximum usage? At AWS, you can start with smaller instances and use auto-scaling to scale up or down automatically according to your traffic."

"Is scalability a challenge for you?"

There was no quote attached. :)

Hetzner's price/performance is an elephant in the room it seems.
>I don't care if the sun is out when I have to wake up or not.

This isn't about what you - or for that matter millions of people - do or don't want to do. After all, if we only did what we wanted to do, none of us would pay tax.

This is about reducing energy consumption by attempting to have people sleep when the sun is down, and be awake when the sun is up.
Android systems don't run normal Linux binaries; Android has an incompatible ABI, not least of which because it puts the dynamic linker in a different location (and compiles that different location into every single binary). It shares the same kernel, but with a completely different userspace, and typically requires a separate effort to port.

(I'd have said "GNU/Linux" to avoid the ambiguity if I didn't think it'd massively and pointlessly derail the conversation. In particular, given the nature of this thread, it seemed needlessly adversarial.)

> And there's really no way that you can claim the language used for Android development is not Java.

Even if the language used for Android development is were Java that wouldn't make ART a JVM. JVM is a VM specification that is not tied to the source but the byte code. In several cases (eg. method lookup) there a significant differences between Java and JVM semantics.

The language used for Android development is not Java. Again, there is a precise definition of what Java means (the language specification) and a test to verify what you have is Java (the TCK). ART/Android does not pass that test (it's not even close) and has no intention of doing so. For example Java semantics allow on the fly code generation. AFAIK ART/Android does not support this.

Better? No. More consistent with "we thought it was a bomb"? Yes. At which point, the discussion of what should be done when you think there's a bomb becomes germane. So far as I understand it, no one involved is claiming that they thought it was a bomb.

Far more conspicuous than relative lack of force (which, depending on particulars, might possibly have been a fine reaction to an actual bomb) is the apparent lack of any move to evacuate other students.

In 1974 the US basically had DST the entire year to save energy. Being on year round DST would save us the most energy, because most people use energy at night for artificial lighting.

The main argument against it is that "kids have to go to school in the dark." Well you know what? Look at these maps. How many kids already have to go to school in the dark? Why does it matter? Even the kids would rather have more light after school so they can play.

And if you ask a farmer about it, they'll tell you "the animals don't read clocks". To them it doesn't really matter, they get up with the sun regardless of what the clock says.
Living in one of the places that doesn't do DST, it's always struck me as bonkers to go through that twice a year.

It just seems amazing to me that anyone with anything remotely resembling a degree in CS[0] would think that this kind of scanning would work for a Turing Complete language. If you restrict extensions to non-TC languages, then it could be made to work[1]. Also the argument that it stops lazy malware authors is absurd -- it's as if they haven't heard of script kiddies. The situation here is exactly analogous: one someone figures out a way around their (extremely ad-hoc) checks, everybody else gets that "workaround" for free. They're only setting themselves up for a neverending whack-a-mole game which they can only lose, solely based on the amount of resources they have.

> Reflection doesn't get in the way of type safety (in fact, it's generally supported by it)

Perhaps my terminology was incorrect there. It's more that it gets in the way of static verification, and makes it much harder to refactor code with confidence.

For example, I am working on a Java project at the moment, for which many constructors and methods are apparently (to the IDE's static analysis) unused. I could quite merrily delete them or change their signatures, only to have the program it break unexpectedly at runtime due to reflection expecting them to exist at the opposite end of the codebase. That is the power of static types - and reflection breaks those guarantees.

Europe, Russia and the US Weigh in on ISIL Bitcoin Use
Here are a few suggestions.

* List open source on your resume.

* During interviews talk about your open source accomplishments. Use open source as a way to show you have experience in software development. This is especially helpful with team based open source projects.

* If you are contributing to an open source project with a community be vocal in that space. Answer stack overflow questions, write blog posts, tweet, and get involved in other online areas where discussion takes place.

* Build a website for your open source project. HTML content is easier for most people to consume compared to a github repo with README.md.

* Speak at a conference or meetup. A great way to get started with this is to give a 5 minute lighting talk demo for the project at your local language meetup.

Doing these things will help you market yourself and your open source work. This usually opens the door to networking with people that have similar interests, which is a great way to further your career.
> As the autoconf files suggest, a lot of GNU software was written in the most general way possible, targeting even the macos/osx/windows/aix/hpux etc.

GNU software originally ran on proprietary UNIX systems by necessity (because no non-proprietary UNIX systems existed), hence their portability; even after Free Software systems existed, having such software available on proprietary UNIX systems provided a great advertisement for GNU (especially since the GNU software typically worked better, and users could obtain tools for free with full source that they previously had to purchase separately in binary form).

More recent software (GNU and otherwise) doesn't typically include compatibility with obscure proprietary UNIX systems (especially long-dead ones), because such systems no longer particularly matter, and seem unlikely to gain new users. Portability to, for instance, HP-UX or Cray systems isn't even worth the time spent detecting and maintaining crazy build-time conditionals, or even the minor chance of introducing a bug. And, perhaps more importantly, the authors of the software don't particularly want to test on such systems, and a port you don't regularly test won't keep working.

Even a back-of-the-envelope order-of-magnitude estimate of the total amount of developer time, system time, and power consumed running ./configure scripts that autodetect conditions nobody seems likely to ever use again produces some scary numbers. ./configure takes an obscenely long time to run, often far longer than make.

> In this age of easy virtual machine installations, it seems odd that software authors of popular software are not targeting at least the BSDs.

That doesn't seem odd to me at all.

For most software, I wouldn't mind taking patches to support BSD, but that doesn't mean I'll go install a BSD system, try to figure out BSD conventions and policy, fix portability issues myself, and maintain continuous integration for BSD to make sure it keeps working. If I wanted to put time and effort into testing my software for portability to other systems, I'd first confirm that it built and ran on Fedora in addition to Debian; I've encountered issues with that due to Fedora's incompatible paths for 32-bit/64-bit libraries.

There are exceptions: I went out of my way to do exactly that as part of making sure XCB ran on the Hurd. I did that partly for novelty (I knew nothing about the Hurd, and afterward I knew slightly more than nothing), and partly because XCB needs to run everywhere X and Xlib can. Even then, though, the resulting port got maintained by actual Hurd users.

So while I'd take a patch to support BSD, I'd rely on the submitter of the patch to keep it working over time, and to let me know if it broke. (And if someone felt sufficiently dedicated to do so, I'd probably give them commit access to help maintain it.) But in the absence of a dedicated BSD developer interested in maintaining the port, I can definitely understand why people wouldn't go out of their way to target BSD.
