> However I never used mass transit to get to work because I like to be able to leave when I want, and go anywhere I want as needed from work.

But that’s possible in cities with working transit.

Take Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Tokyo.

You can get a bus/train/tram to anywhere from anywhere at any time.
Because I already have an app for that - the web browser, and it works great with countless other services I use on a daily basis.
Show HN: Using simple education to remove dependency
I made a simple analog wall clock with matplotlib to illustrate how high school knowledge can be used to avoid libraries, and reduce complexity.

In terms of actual quality of education I'll agree with you on the last point. But in my experience -- having spent a lot of time in both urban and rural schools -- the quality of education in urban schools is typically better than or similar to that available in rural schools on average.

Most urban areas have a mix of terrible and excellent schools. The excellent ones rival or exceed the best of the surrounding suburban schools (except with more in-school variance in terms of quality of instruction and background of students), while the terrible ones are truly toxic. Conversely, rural schools are more uniformly "meh" -- generally not toxic, but also pretty underwhelming in terms of instructional quality and available learning opportunities/resources.

Also, IMO, test scores are not great indicators of school quality. Even if you could perfectly control for all confounding factors, test scores probably still wouldn't be great indicators. They're simply, de facto, measuring the wrong things.
It's a value judgement.

From the point of an officer in danger, a killed adversary is one where they can be 100% sure that the danger from that particular individual is eliminated. That's just good policy if your main objective is to save police officer's live above all.

If you're concerned that the general populace in general and the criminals with guns do not forfeit their chance at life for being in the wrong place at the wrong time or indeed be violent criminals out with guns to kill people, then that approach of "if you see a lethal threat, try to kill it", becomes less desirable, because innocent people get killed.

And while you are free to argue the difference of "shoot-too-soon" vs. "shoot-to-kill", the issue is, you might agree, that the outcome of shooting-too-soon-in-the-head and shooting-too-soon-in-the leg are decidedly different.

In the end arguing about whether the training someone to assess a situation before acting on it, is a little moot in general: Many of these situations involve incomplete information and the immediate need to act on it. In this case the officers say that, due to the guiding laser, they were under the impression to be in imminent danger. I sympathize with their lack of information to take easy decisions on.

But they point is: if they had decided to shoot to disable instead of kill, he would still be alive today, as would they be.

And even considering an actual armed adversary who was trying to take their lives, shooting to disable him would, often enough, still get them out of immediate danger to reassess how to apprehend the person and bring them to justice, instead of delivering a death sentence on the spot.

You might disagree, but a government policy which willingly accounts for the death of innocent people by direct force of the executive, to me, is fucking stupid.

You might argue that that's reverse, that a shoot-to-incapacitate policy would backfire, as officers would draw their guns more often perhaps, and I would agree. It's not the only thing wrong with policing today.

It is a chicken and egg problem:

Transit sucks, so no one uses transit.
No one uses transit, so funding is sub-optimal.
Funding is sub-optimal, so transit sucks.

This cycle can be broken by funding transit properly. I have been to plenty of cities where transit was cheap, convenient, and useful. And before someone trots out the density problem, I have been to plenty of places that are far less dense than LA and have far better transit.
I never used collapsible comments on reddit. By the time you're reading deep into a branch and decide that it's better to skip it, you already too far from the comment that started the branch. It's actually more difficult to scroll back and click collapse than scroll forward until the next top-level comment.
This is such a pittance. $112,000? That's like a parking ticket.
Given how infrequently HN updates their markup, I don't think such extensions will break very often.
I absolutely understand the notion that being open source makes it significantly more difficult to hide devious code, but let's be realistic. If you had to scrutinize every piece of OSS for something malicious, you would never get anything done.
I think you just proved my point. We're all of us running around with our pants down because we think Docker is taking care of this stuff but it's merely a bunch of features that look like they should be fit for that purpose but aren't.

And this is why I am stuck with a separate build and package phase, because I have to have that separation between the data available at build time and what ends up shipped, but even there I'm pretty sure I'm making mistakes, due to some of the design decisions Docker made thinking they were helping but actually made things worse.

For instance, there's no really solid mechanism for guaranteeing that none of your secret files end up in your docker image, because they decided that symlinks were forbidden. So I have to maintain a .dockerignore file and I can never really be sure from one build to the next that I haven't screwed it up somehow. Which I will, sooner or later.

I'm always one bad merge away from having to revoke my signing keys. It's a backlash waiting to happen.

Just want to point out that here in the US we don't require anyone to graduate high school. In most cases minors are required to attend school. My point is that, in the past, minors weren't able to chose for themselves. Instead the guardian often chose to make the child work thus continuing a cycle of poverty.

Actually collapsing comments helps. Often insightful top level comments are posted at a later time. These remain less read and less voted because of their position.
Wow, I'm curious how often your assumptions about others motivations puts you at odds with people?

Your assumption that I made my comment to make people feel guilty is false. If you felt guilt and took offense, it's because you took it that way.

I made that comment because I wanted people to feel grateful, you may say that as me wanting people to be complacent and just be "grateful they have a job". But that's not it either... we're all extremely lucky to be alive in a time where we can leverage our skills this easily and have all these platforms to coordinate and discuss how we can better our situation. We'll be just fine because we have power and influence, even if it isn't as much as we'd like.

I don't feel guilty for what I have and what others don't, and I wouldn't want anyone else to either because guilt is useless. I have gratitude for all the opportunities and skills I have. I believe that feeling gratitude creates a mindset that is more productive and useful to actually changing things (including bettering our collective situation).

In any case, this thread is probably over, so at this point neither of us are contributing to anything but building our own egos and I'm sure we've both got bigger things to attend to.

So far I can recall other two instances of machine learning going unfortunately wrong: that time when a Google image algorithm tagged a black person as 'gorilla'; when recently, Google translate translated "a man has to clean" literally as "a woman has to clean" in Spanish.

I expect that enabling custom categories could lead to this being useful in ways that you'd never expect. For example, people with misophonia HATE the sound of people chewing loudly. It's not uncommon (the misophonia subreddit has 8,000 subscribers). I'd love to use your filter to mute the audio (and simultaneously turn on the subtitles, if possible) when there are misophonia triggers in movies. People with misophonia are already interested in movie warnings for this (e.g. the subreddit had several high profile warnings about the triggers in The Martian).

If misophonia is a possible useful application of custom categories, there might be many others.

A winter ice blanket makes driving less desirable. Pleasant weather makes walking more desirable.

This implies that walking has a hard limit on desirability, which is easily topped by driving, even with the worst traffic. You have to make driving worse to tip the preference toward walking, even if the conditions simultaneously make walking less desirable.

If driving 5 miles is likely to put your car in a ditch, you may opt for a 200m walk, which may only plant your ass on the concrete once or twice. If you have to shovel snow for 20 minutes to drive anywhere at all, you may prefer to just pull on some wellies and hoof it through the drifts. If every mile you drive is rusting away your vehicle's underbody due to road salt, you may prefer to wear away your boot soles instead.

If you could wave a magic wand to install a roof over ever road and highway, the residents would squeal with glee, toss out their tire chains, shovels, and boots, and get right back into their cars.
That's because people like to complain... the reality is stuff happens, systems go down, and life tends to go on.

Yeah, if your building full of employees can't work because the internet is down, and the secondary is also down, then that's kind of crappy, and you may be paying people to twiddle their thumbs... much short of that, it's kind of the cost of doing business...

There are redundancy options for a lot of things... If you're using only a single host provider for your infrastructure, and management scoffs at creating redundant, and under-utilized systems... it's not as "mission critical" as people think/say.

You're arguing against a point I never made.
I see what you mean, but I don't see any reason to use NFS on the maximum sized group when you can reduce the size of that group (by using a generator of a "small" subgroup modulo each factor) and use a quicker Pollard Rho modulo each factors. You already have a significant advantage and you don't need any heavy pre-computations with NFS.

By doing it your way, you do increase both my computation and the reverser's computation who tries to do Pollard Rho on the full subgroup size. Which is good, but what I found is that this is not necessary as doing it my way is already too hard for someone with no knowledge of the factors to use.

For time efficiency, the implementation is far more of the problem than the actual idea of public transportation (i.e. Philly to Pittsburgh, or DC to Pittsburgh). For traveling distances of ~120-400 miles or so, I'd much rather take a train than drive if the implementation isn't terrible (anything between DC, Philly, and NYC, Barcelona to Madrid, Florence to Rome), largely because the time isn't wasted (I can read a book, do some work, or take a nap).

I'm curious how things are going to pan out over the next 20 years, however, as some of these advantages held by not being responsible for piloting the vehicle become available to cars, and how different transportation methods are going to evolve around this. Rail has nasty failure modes due to the inherent sparse graph.

> the appropriate question about dependency management is, "under what conditions is it appropriate for a person or group outside of your org to publish code into your project?"

>Note that this isn't a cost-benefit approach.

Eh, it is a cost-benefit approach if the appropriate circumstances are "where the benefit outweighs the cost/risk." And I don't know any good way to answer it without doing that.

What are your own examples of specification of such circumstances that don't involve cost-benefit?

Unless you just decide, when asking the question like that, "Geez, there's no circumstances where it's appropriate" and go to total NIH, no external dependencies at all (no Node, no Rails, no nothing).

There is no such thing as "shoot to disable". That's something from TV. When you "shoot to disable" someone armed with a gun, they shoot you back.

Any gains achieved by smoother traffic flow is likely to be dominated by this fact.

I can see why collapsible sub-trees aren't quite dead-simple. The comment list is a single table, and each comment is a separate row. There's no container around a comment's children. (Also, the indenting is implemented by putting a 1x1 image in the first column and setting its width based on the indent depth required.)

Internally, there's obviously tracking of parent/child relationships, but adding container elements so that the children can be hidden would require getting rid of the table-based layout and replacing it with a nested div-based layout. The markup and styling changes would be fairly simple, but none of us know what the impact is on the backend, or on anything that depends on the markup structure that may or may not be in HN's control. My guess is that these non-technical impacts are the driving force behind keeping the markup as it is, which prevents the kind of features you want.
