Yes, a drug purchase is a voluntary transaction, and yes, I believe drugs should be decriminalized. However it's undeniable that black markets are violent and that innocent bystanders get caught in the crossfire. The sentencing guidelines are there to punish and/or deter that.
I know that the HN crowd supports this, but it can be a nightmare for a criminal defense attorney attempting to acquire exculpatory information. Remember, whenever a warrant is required to get data, that means the defendant cannot get stored data through ANY legal process. Thus by passing such a law, prosecutors and police can always get the data, but defense attorneys can never get the data.

For example: I’m the victim of an unprovoked attack and beat up by four men. One of the men records the attack and uploads the video to facebook, He makes it private, but shares it with a few friends to shame me. In the attack, I try to defend myself but am only able to get in a few hits on one of the men. The man that I hit goes to the police and accuses me of battery. I’m arrested and charged by a prosecutor for battery. I plan to claim self-defense at trial. I try to collect as much evidence as I can on my behalf.

With a warrant requirement, the video that I know exist on facebook which would show that these men beat me in an unprovoked attack and would certainly lead to a not guilty verdict is now completely inaccessible to me or my attorney. Think about that for a minute. And, as you probably know from watching Making a Murderer, the police have no duty to investigate potentially exculpatory information.

I’m not saying that a warrant requirement for stored data is a bad idea. But the ups and downs need to be considered. I never see anyone present the downsides that I present here. I’ve brought it up before on HN before and got very little attention. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10066879.

> There's a positive externality that arises from price-sensitive shopping.

The term "price sensitive" is a bit misleading. A better term would be "value sensitive". Your duty as a free market participant (I prefer that term because "free market" is not necessarily the same as "capitalism") is to get the best value you can for your money. But that is value to you, and will be different for different people. Also, that value has to include the cost of the time and effort you spend searching for value, which is also different for different people.

These people are shining a bright light on their own ignorance. I have worked with many Indians through out the years, and they are fiercely independent, inventive, and hard working. As a people and as a nation Indians are incredibly smart and thoughtful, it's incredibly disparaging for an outsider to claim that the Indian people don't know what's best for themselves.
Under colonial rule the Indian people, their wealth, and their culture were plundered and forever destroyed, now they are seeing a similar attack coming from facebook. They are smart to carefully guard their people from corporate interests who are seeking only to exploit them.

All in all the ruling class has the same arguments now as they have always had, "What's best for everyone is what's best for me" and they are always hurt when everyone doesn't agree.

They actually had a second shuttle already on the launch pad, ahead of schedule for prep for the next mission.

Wikipedia quote time: "The CAIB [Columbia Accident Investigation Board] determined that a rescue mission, though risky, might have been possible provided NASA management had taken action soon enough.[56][57] They stated that, had NASA management acted in time, two possible contingency procedures were available: a rescue mission by shuttle Atlantis, and an emergency spacewalk to attempt repairs to the left wing thermal protection.

Normally, a rescue mission is not possible, due to the time required to prepare a shuttle for launch, and the limited consumables (power, water, air) of an orbiting shuttle. However, Atlantis was well along in processing for a planned March 1 launch on STS-114, and Columbia carried an unusually large quantity of consumables due to an Extended Duration Orbiter package. The CAIB determined that this would have allowed Columbia to stay in orbit until flight day 30 (February 15). NASA investigators determined that Atlantis processing could have been expedited with no skipped safety checks for a February 10 launch."

There's a positive one from convenience-sensitive shopping too.

> then Amazon would just set its prices 1/.6 = 66% higher than the other stores.

And such would be the price of convenience.

I shop at Publix and pay the higher prices over Kroger because Publix is 5 minutes away from my house whereas Kroger is 10. I don't do major grocery shopping as I'm single. I'm happy Publix exists and if everybody were so price sensitive they'd drive to Kroger instead, Publix would go out of business or lower the quality of their services so they can compete price-wise with Kroger.

Having multiple store options available diversifies not just the market for goods, but also the market for shopping experiences. Price-sensitive shopping, if everyone did it, would absolutely lower prices for everyone, but ultimately would reduce options. I would hate to live in that world.

I bet that Kroger has a better, more convenient experience than it would if Publix wasn't there, simply because Publix is an option. Kroger does have self-checkout lanes and nice decor, just not as nice as Publix's.
Same here. I don't really shop at Amazon because it's less expensive. Frankly, I have no idea how Amazon's prices compare to most things because it's been years since I've shopped around. I buy things on Amazon because it's easy, they ship quickly, they have very good customer service, the ratings often provide useful information, and they have everything.

It scares me a little bit that nobody is even trying to compete with Amazon. When somebody does do a better job at something than Amazon, it seems like Amazon just acquires them (Zappos, for example).

StackOverflow serves a dual purpose: (1) to answer the immediate question of the original poster, and (2) to serve as a reference for anyone encountering the same problem in the future. I'd say that (2) is more important - good question/answer pairs on SO have helped hundreds or even thousands of developers beyond the original poster. Answering "what have you tried" may help with purpose (1), but is often just distracting for (2). If I'm looking for a way to do X, reading through someone's failed attempts to do X is a waste of time. And this whole notion of making someone "struggle a bit" is entirely misplaced when you keep purpose (2) in mind. Let's say I'm not a CSS expert and I'm trying to find a way to make a sticky page footer. I can "struggle for a bit", spend maybe 30-60min researching the topic and come up with a solution myself, without ever involving StackOverflow. Multiply this by 1,000 developers facing the same problem, and you have 500-1000 hours of wasted developer effort. Compare this to spending 15min to write a precisely-worded question (but without "steps you've tried"), and an expert spending 15min to write up an answer. From that point on, the piece of knowledge is available to anyone, enormously amplifying the impact of this initial time investment. Of course I'm oversimplifying, but I see this amplification effect continuously ignored in discussions of StackOverflow posting guidelines. I think this attitude of "show your work" and "make the original poster struggle a bit" comes from the days of IRC/Usenet questions, where an answer to a question only helped one person, not thousands.
ChickTech Teaches STEM Skills to Girls
What's worse with SO is someone (new user usually) posts a good question. Someone gives a shitty answer that gets them by and it gets accepted. 10 people come along with correct answers, but nothing you can do to switch the "accepted" answer.

The bounty program is also bullshit. I 100% agree with the fact that the bounty should not be returned, otherwise dishonest users would just not award a bounty on the correct answer so they could get their karma back.

The 50% auto award of bounties to most up voted though is just garbage. I have had answers that are completely off base that extremely quickly get up voted and they end up getting the bounty. I'm pretty sure there is some type of voter ring style up vote fraud happening on bounties; at this point I doubt I will ever offer a bounty again since it typically no longer helps in me to find relevant answers.

how do you define safety programmatically so the vehicle knows what's considered 'safe'? Measurement of g-force in sudden deceleration, acceleration, lateral movement? Heart beat per minute of passengers?

Most passenger cars are far more capable than average drivers can exploit, so there is quite a bit of room for cars to drive very aggressively from human's perspective, but completely 'safe' from machine's perspective.

Even if you don't need sub-second updates polling is still very wasteful. Your typical HTTP header is 700-800 bytes, so every 100,000 requests you're sending 75 megabytes of data you don't need to.

Websockets require 2 bytes, so those same 100,000 requests send only 200 kilobytes of additional data. Also it's worth noting that with Websockets data is only sent when there is new data to send. Saving you even more bandwidth.

Plus with services like Pubnub & Pusher websockets are really simply to get started with now as well. I would argue they're actually easier to use than polling.

Sadly this likely won't help you but in Brazil they've got one site, called Estante Virtual [1], for a network of almost 1,500 independent used bookstores across the country. Even though I no longer live there, I use them as much as possible (ordering books to friends homes if they're going home to visit). While the site charges these indy stores between $12-40 USD per month for the chance to sell on their site, I would think it'd still be a good deal for the stores.

I'm not sure if this kind of used bookstore network exists in the English-speaking world but I'd love to know if it does.

Agreed. It does seem to be incumbent on IoT makers/service providers/etc. to make security a core part of their product, though.
> You could make the argument that their behavior is algorithmic, at least that's a part of what HFT banks on.

Human decision makers -- either individuals acting on their own behalf or humans acting as decision-makers in a corporation -- may choose to use algorithms to make decisions, and may choose to give programs that concretely instantiate algorithms minute-to-minute control of their resources. That doesn't mean that the personhood -- of the individual or corporation -- transfers to the algorithm or the concrete instance.

> Conversely, what if the corporate shareholders were primarily algorithmic traders?

Algorithmic traders are legal persons -- either corporations or individuals -- using computer programs to make and execute trading decisions.
Why would you call it instant gratification if the question also applies to when the expert is a beginner in another field? Also, edge cases should be nuanced. For example, typing up an answer in 2 minutes since you know a lot about the problem area in general, while the question was one sentence.

For me, it also shows motivation on the person asking the question (and vice versa). It's not effective to help someone who isn't going to do anything with the information.

I don't see how entitlement and instant gratification play a role.

The article has a title, and the contents don't match the title until nearly half way through the piece, and also don't really continue to match it past there. The length of the introduction is appropriate for a short book, not a 2000 word essay. As the article makes clear, the answer is still unknown, and so the article as titled should not have been written. Changing the title alone could make this a better written piece, but as is it doesn't match the expectations given to the reader.
