I researched several ESPs and negotiated our email contract with one of them. To some degree, seeing that a company had established customers was important when I was trusting something as critical as our companies email to them.

You need to find a way to reduce risk and the overhead of integration. Even basic integration of a new ESP is a PITA, mostly because there is either engineering work involved, or some degree of lockin because of marketing automation that can't be easily exported.

You might in fact need to offer a free year or something to convince them to invest in you and take a risk.

This is a specific instance of a government literally being a nanny. Sad.

Show HN: CANdlestick – a hardware dev toolkit to connect your car to the cloud
The pile will topple, you're right. It's just a matter of how. Even people I respect a lot like Radley Balko are not on the right page about fixing the current problems with police. He talks a lot about community policing, literal foot patrols (vs. cars), etc. And that'd be all great, except our society is way beyond that. Maybe such tactics would have worked in the '60's, before the relationship between citizens and police became one of either hate or ignorance. At this point, without dismantling a huge part of the police and corrections system (because calling it "criminal justice" is just plain absurd) nothing will change. But that can still happen through the democratic process. I hope ...

You could just pay your fines before you drive.

I know that's going to be an unpopular opinion, and I'm not saying their debt collection strategy is kosher, but it's not like they're fabricating the fines.

Also, you could "call their bluff" so to speak and go to jail. It's probably just overnight, and it sounds like you're not actually charged with anything.

You've got lots of options, lots of levers to pull to fix this.

>those who aren't benefiting from the economic wealth that globalization generates

I think that's the problem that the NYT completely misses. If modern globalization causes centralization on an economy of scale basis, then there is less "wealth" generally created overall.

Centralized economies are less competitive economies. Less wealth goes into the hands of few than leaves the hands of many, if that makes any sense. If HP were to merge with Apple (joke hypothetical), there would be some very happy board members and execs, but far more, less happy workers fired for redundancy.
Unfortunately, this is the situation we are seeing more and more today, particularly in the 21st century. And yes, the population does have an impact on this

The major point of contention here is: "does globalization cause centralization?"

Just when you think it can't get worse. It gets worse.

I guess in a crazy kind of way it makes sense. Government has been mooching off commercial data collection for some time. It's about time the commercial sector got to use government agents as sort of a contracted private intelligence agency.

<sarcastically>And hell, you could bump this up a notch. Just start paying for body cams on all federal agents. If the agent needs the data in court you save it, otherwise it can magically disappear (without any kind of judicial overview). Better yet, lying to a federal agent is a felony! So just text the guy and give him some sample questions he might want to ask. It'd be like a magic button to privately deposition anybody you'd like.</sarcastically>

I apologize for the hair-on-fire reaction. Good grief, it's blatantly obvious that the players here, both commercial and governmental, are going to push this thing as hard as they possibly can until somebody stops them. I'm still trying to figure out who somebody is going to be.

Go to those sections (Philosophy and History) in your university library and read the titles of all the books. Take books which titles grab your attention, and read the table of contents. If you see a Chapter that interests you, read that chapter. If you think the book is worth reading whole, grab the book.

EDIT: Also consider subscribing to magazines. I love these: McSweeney's and Lapham Quarterly. McSweeneys is great for fiction and Lapham Quarterly for non fiction/historical perspectives on topics.

EDIT2: It is also important to remember that books are for you to enjoy and you should never feel forced to read books you don't want to read (except if it is required reading on a course) nor finish reading books just because you have started them (sunk cost fallacy).

But, there are advantages to reading whole texts, especially non-fiction. In today's day and age, we can search for terms and read precisely what we need for a paper. However, if you read the whole text you might read some unexpected gems that will enrich you. I find that reading the table of contents and skimming through paragraphs is a great way to avoid missing these gems. However, please note that "skimming" does not mean "move your eyes and pretend you are reading". You still need to make an effort to understand what the author is trying to convey. If you find yourself lost in thought after "skimming" through a couple of paragraphs then you are not doing it correctly. Ideally you want to summarize the paragraph to a single idea.
The "go to jail" option is what the individual would have faced if pulled over for any other normal traffic stop (ie. run red light, no turn signal, etc...). So I don't see anything wrong with this really... the individuals already broke the law by not paying their court fines, and this is just providing a mechanism to enforce that law.

That's silly though. It's like saying, well, even if we nuke the earth and kill all humans that live on it, the radiation will eventually disperse and something new will evolve. Yes, that's fundamentally true on a birds-eye level, but that doesn't mean it's a sane or moral choice. If we know dynamic systems with feedback loops and delays tend towards overshoot and collapse, and collapse will really suck for a lot of people, we should try to build other feedback loops that make that collapse less likely, etc. Saying there is a self-correcting system in place doesn't mean that we should let all current trends just continue because they will eventually somehow correct. Violent revolutions are also a correction of sorts...

You also need to realize police already drive around and randomly type into their computer license plate numbers to see what comes up. This system just makes it faster and red flags those who are really breaking the law.
I can't say I'm surprised that this is happening. As technology progresses, it only makes sense that government becomes more efficient at doing things that we like and don't like. As soon as red-light cameras became OK, or any license plate reading systems, this eventuality was on the table.

I'm only saddened by the fact that they've been essentially duped by some private sector company into selling private citizens' data (and allowing them to retain it even after expiration of the contract) instead of trying to develop this technology themselves, and actually innovating. This move reduces citizen privacy, and costs citizens privacy all at the same time.

The next thing I look to see happen is automated speeding tickets. There's no reason radars shouldn't be set up in conjuction with license plate readers, or actually just pulling speed data from cars with in-car transmission ability and tickets being auto-generated to constituents.

Imagine trying to argue against why your car shouldn't be monitored for speeding infringements -- surely you're either a speeder trying to kill kids and families, or you're a getaway driver trying to commit crimes. Then the law goes into place (of course, save the kids), then people realize some car companies transmit location info by accident/on purpose, and people can now pretty much watch you drive places.

I don't think virtualenv would solve their problems here; they are installing their agent on a customer's machine. I imagine they didn't want to ship the entire Python interpreter or alternatively install whatever version they want to use on the customer's machine.

But you're right, I don't think Lua is unique in being able to fix this issue. I think it's more that the author was already very good with it and liked it.

Holy crap this is alarming! I'm so glad that there are institutions like the eff that can catch these kinds of practices and predict how they can be mismanaged to serve rather ulterior motives.

As a side note, I have a sick feeling that this technology will be used to exclusively target the most vulnerable of society. In fact, it provides an incentive for police to patrol those neighborhoods, since they are (AFAIK) more likely to have outstanding debts or unlikely to have the means to pay them promptly.
Well, the historical response to being robbed by armed thugs is to get bigger weapons and your own thugs. And in Texas, it's easier to get guns that it is to get water (as far as I can tell, observing from Canada). The only thing I don't understand is why an open shooting war between the police and the citizens hasn't broken out already.
What state exactly sends you to jail for failure to use a turn signal or running a red light? I want to make sure to avoid that state at all costs.

No, this is not "just" providing a mechanism to enforce that law. They're creating a permanent record of every individual's travels, regardless of whether they're wanted for any crimes, and they are storing it indefinitely.

If you don't understand why that's a bad thing, and why intelligent people are freaked out about it, I strongly suggest you study history.
But at least in the enterprise, you're actually being paid to deal with customers. The author of the article is not being paid - he's generously offering his software to the world for free, and ungrateful people are bullying him.

This question is facetious, almost as facetious as the "10,000 calories of sawdust". Almost. The human body can only process so much fat at once based on bile production. On top of all that, I would say no, I wouldn't gain several pounds of fat after consuming a whole bottle of olive oil because it wouldn't be 3500 calories (12floz = 24 tablespoons * 119 calories = 2856 calories), even assuming I don't poop most of it out (as can be seen on Youtube videos). That doesn't change the fact that a tablespoon of olive oil contains 119 calories and up to a certain volume the human digestive tract will extract energy from it.

Second, I don't think three random people would gain the equivalent amount of weight; that's one of my points I've made elsewhere. TDEE for different people is different, based on height, weight (heavier people have higher TDEEs, which is ironic because it makes it easier for them to lose weight), and activity level. If you're talking three people of the same height, weight, strictly controlled activity level and strictly controlled intake, then I would expect their weight gain to be as close to identical as to make no difference. There's always some variance (within 200-300 Kcal: http://examine.com/faq/does-metabolism-vary-between-two-peop...)

Since we're cherry picking completely unrealistic intakes, I'll pose back to you: if three random people consumed 3500 calories worth of refined sugar, and that exceeded their TDEE by 3500 calories, then yes, each and every one of them would gain 1lb of adipose tissue. Seeing that many in the US easily approach an intake of this much refined sugar in the form of soda, the results (of the population, 2/3 is overweight, and 1/3 is obese) should not be surprising.
