That quote seems to counter the 'nobody knows why' in the article subtitle.

If it backfires when Police can choose to turn them off that seems to suggest that they act as if having a camera protects them from being questioned. Since they'll likely record video evidence in their favor and just turn it off if they want to use force.

In the case with no camera things would be more balanced (though still skewed toward the police officer's testimony), but selective camera use strongly biases favorably to the police officer.

A camera that's always on should help get closer to the truth for the officer and the suspect.

> Do you think there are some strange posts on these threads, written with an underlying tinge of propaganda (not everyone).

You mean like yourself here [1] where you are touting government propaganda?

The thing about propaganda is, the more one-sided a conversation becomes, the less interesting it is. There's no single viewpoint that can pretend to take two opposing sides of an argument. Good internet comments are succinct, point out flaws in other comments' arguments, and are on the minds of other readers. If a comment thread doesn't make me think, I lose interest.

> Kid should have just sold his hack to the highest bidder

Really? If the thing is used for anything important, just sell the intercepted data on darknet :) And it seems this was passive reception of radio traffic - it'd take them a while to find him.

The whole story just illustrates the danger of doing security research in the open. If he tipped them anonymously, he could simply pass the news to the media after a month and they'd have to shut up and fix their shit.

I once refrained from reporting a web vuln for similar reason - I didn't trust the owner to handle this professionally and, unfortunately, I didn't use tor because I attempted the hack just for fun wanting to see how they are protected from that - turns out, they weren't at all.
I couldn't totally agree more. Private school at $30,000 / year, private university at $53,000 - who does that? When my sister and I went to college, we had no delusions that we were going to go to in-state public universities where we qualified for in-state rates. Some of our friends even went to community colleges the first few years, then transferred to save even more money. Many of us had part time jobs and/or internships the whole time.

Also at the time, we knew we were going to need to be sponsored by companies if we wanted to stay in the US so we both chose practical degrees which would most likely lead to sponsorships for our H1B visas (ie engineering degrees).

I don't understand these people who willingly choose to go to EXPENSIVE private schools they COULD NOT afford, take HUGE loans they COULD NOT HOPE to repay on degrees that will barely pay for those loans. Then they have the audacity to feel entitled NOT to pay back those loans.

Working families are now "poor"? - that's the crux of the problem... the TPP signifies the demise of the middle class.
When you have a very small audience for something, most of it is terrible because the few gems don't have the financial or cultural support to reach their full potential.

When you have a huge audience for something, most of it is terrible because the lowest common denominator is often about the 'least disliked' instead of the best. Too many opinions find an average.

What's right in the middle – enough support both creative and financial, not too much popular pressure to be average – that's where you get the most excellence.

In other words, being extremely popular or extremely obscure tends to make things bad to mediocre. Of course there are exceptions, but it's something to think about when you're trying to be successful creatively.

Indie music went through this transition over the last 10 years. There are good things now and there were good things then, but I think there were a lot more great things in the middle as appreciation was growing but didn't quite have mass appeal.

Okay, but ask yourself if that's an actual correlation or an imagined one based on customs and psychological factors. (Which is my point.)

The assertion was that "there is a relationship," without any sort of qualification. I'm saying that relationship only exists because of the belief itself and if we all stopped believing it tomorrow, there would be no relationship any longer. So it's not really a correlation at all and only an imaginary one that has largely built itself up on conditioning, upbringing, and so on.

I'm not saying you're wrong nor denying a tenuous correlation, I'm saying it's faulty to assume a correlation where one only exists due to external factors, and that leads to the problems that both you and I point out with the correlation.

You don't have to claim the girl is making it up for the result to be untrustworthy. There is a reason placebo controlled double blind trials are used in modern medicine. That amount of rigor is required to be certain that the observed effect wouldn't have just happened. People can get better because the human body is good at self-regulation. The placebo effect is also a real effect. The standard set for modern medicine is that the treatment must be better than the placebo effect.
Record issue is more than just an inconvenience. I consider it a genuine issue. Having to add 2 lines of import (unqualified name of the type and qualified record module to get the accessors) for every record type you use is a pain. When you work with data-heavy code this ends up hundred of lines of import (see amazonka packages for instance where each request has a record type).

> When in doubt, follow the 3 laws for robots

Asimov's 3 Laws were a plot device, not a serious attempt to codify ethics. They were designed to fail for dramatic effect, and his stories were about them failing constantly, because they presented the apparent paradox of a perfectly rational being appearing to behave irrationally.

The only law Asimov's robots actually adhere to is the Law of Unintended Consequences - and I believe this is the actual lesson for autonomous car engineers. The more powerful an AI is, and the more complex it is, and the more likely it is to fail in ways that can't be predicted.

You seem like someone who would be well served by a perusal of the below wikipedia page. Briefly, these packets are destined for an IP address in the 224.0.0.0/4 IP space, meaning multicast. SRC address is neither important nor verified (and since it's UDP on the same broadcast domain, there's really very little that can be done to stop the packets being processed unless the hotel has a very smart access point. They never do).

It works just fine when you're young. Look at the age of people there. Beside keeping leasing costs down, it is a very efficient way of keeping old farts out. I worked in an even bit more overcrowded conditions around 20 years ago surrounded by the guys of my age, and we were very productive with no issues caused by overcrowding and with all the benefits of instant collaboration/teamwork/etc. These days, the open floor office is felt like a big downer for me, and the office like this in the photo - i'd have to be really desperate to agree to work there.

Watching Dragons Den, the investors ears prick up when someone walks in and says that have done (x)million pound exit(s) in the past. It gets their attention and I think for Marketing that is the purpose right? So I think posting your results of money earned for investors would be a good way to entice investors to call you.

ChuckMcM's post says making lots of money on exit isn't what matters, the acts count.

That is true, but I would say getting the attention of your prospects is what matters here, and buying and selling a company for a huge profit repeatedly will get their attention and make them call you to find out more. Then you can tell them about the acts.

I guess this is really about how to resolve your conflict: your privacy and money values vs. wanting to be bold in marketing yourself. Only you can answer that. Personally I don't want to have friends who are uncomfortable with what I earn, be that $0 or millions. Family is a different matter though, and also safety concerns (extortion, ransoms etc.) but then there are plenty of rich people bragging on TV shows so it's not like you will be the only one.

Just my 2c. I have no experience in this, so take with a pinch of salt.
Hi
you might want to see a previous blog on similar topic,
e.g. https://julielearnspython.wordpress.com/

The only "value" I see in that kind of blog is for tools designer, tutorial writers and even language designers.

On the other hand, as it is going to be useful for your wife to write it down, and it costs "nothing" to make it public, just put it there anyway!

> I can't downvote but this is a terrible attitude.

While I'm not down with selling the hack, not interacting with police is always good advice.

It's shown over and over again that official contact with the police rarely has good results, at best has neutral results, and sometimes has VERY bad results.
There's an interactive piece from the New York Times that discusses this same idea:

I dont think I've seen a mechanical recorder since the late 90s and even then it was rare.
This system was most commonly in the 90's and earlier. Back then all cards had raised letters. Many modern cards are online-only to reduce the rampant fraud possible with this old method.
This is yet another example of how one who practices "responsible disclosure" eventually changes their beliefs and begins to practice "full, anonymous, public disclosure".
"Drink responsibly" isn't a great analogy. Drinking adds no tangible utility to anything significant. People do it because it's fun, not because it improves the quality of their work.

Group chat adds tangible value to work when used responsibly. You can create a cultural requirement that minimizes interruptions by consigning random chit chat or idle questions to IMs that can be safely ignored for a time by muting notifications.

When, "hey which internal CMS has this thing I need?" is an IM I can safely mute when I need to focus instead of a productivity-destroying shoulder tap, that is significant.

If they were experiencing a dopamine addiction because they couldn't learn how to properly contextualize and ignore notifications when they needed to be in the zone, that's on them, not the tool.

Hi,

at least you should

a) offer screenshots

b) indicate the license in the landing page (Apache)

c) link to your github repo: https://github.com/nunziotocci/postage

d) finally, I am not sure "What would make an admin app for PostgreSQL a must have? Is there some feature that psql has that Postage needs? We need to hear what you have to say! Call us at (817) 503-9545." is the most appropriate channel for HN audience. Somehow, "create an issue on github" might be more audience friendly.

And maybe offer a linux client to download

And your landing page html with paragraphs coming from left to right is annoying.
This book was far too wordy for me. I found a better compromise by reading two these books in parallel:

* Burns' "Groups: A Path to Geometry": http://www.amazon.com/Groups-Geometry-R-P-Burn/dp/0521347939

This was the main read. It's approach is to take the reader through group theory by presenting it as a series of problems. Discussion is limited mainly to historical notes.

* Pinter's "A Book on Abstract Algebra": http://www.amazon.com/Book-Abstract-Algebra-Second-Mathemati...

While going through Burns' book, if I needed more of a discussion on a certain topic, then Pinter's book always felt like it comfortably quenched my desire. Here is someone's discussion on why Pinter helped (along with a proposed litmus test for group theory texts): http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1469294/recommendati...

Firstly, impromptu is bad. Work requires focus, not "oh look a squirrel!" People learn delayed gratification in life. The same goes for the urgency of someone in your org randomly deciding everyone needs to talk about my random thoughts right fricking now.

Secondly, messages piling up is a feature, not a bug. You engage when you need a mental break and you're in an engagement mood. If other people are in that mood at the same time, great. If not, then if you force them to engage with you anyway you are harming their productivity. People need to learn this. People get in the zone at different times and this needs to be respected.
Group membership matters in multicast, although I agree probably not in this case. If there's a hub-spoke topology and you a spoofing on a leaf switch which doesn't propagate this could be a fun problem for engineering (looking up and reading about IGMP is left as an exercise for the reader)
Even if it doubles the number of import statements, I still don't see how that is more than an inconvenience. Having said that, the record issue alone is not the only reason to need qualified imports (as they are also used to resolve collisions of functions that are not auto generated from records).

What would be nice is if Haskell would allow any name collision so long as it could use the type system to disambiguate the function.

I write automation tools for a living. The problem with this approach is that it's no different from full automation. Things would collapse if the automation fails just like it would with full automation.

In this case after management realized the increased efficiency and changes your 20 people systems management team into a 10 people systems management team. Or they put new tasks on you to justify the size of your team.

Then your amplification automation breaks ... and your productivity drops by 80%-90%. And suddenly your team cannot handle even running at 10% capacity. Calling everyone in and working 16 hours straight you get this "heroically" to 50%, but the automation fail still breaks the business.

Yeah, Amnesiac is a great example of an album that defines which fans like different aspects of the band. I love this album, but I can see why some people would dislike it. The album takes a road that is not very common. Kid A was a big change for them, but some of the ablum's influence was already seen in other artists, like Aphex Twin, etc. Amnesiac is an evolution of a rock band. And usually when you break schemes is hard to please everyone.

I am fascinated by heliostats.

Heliostats (sun tracker) can provide natural light indoors. This is useful especially during dark winter months. A more advanced application is to capture the natural light using fibre optics and use natural light in place of artificial lights.

The principal advantage here is that the colour spectrum of light changes during the course of a day. This has a significant affect on your sleeping patterns and mental health. It is known for example that in early summer months there is a rise in suicides. This is attributed to people feeling like they have lots of energy from nowhere, but they still are stuck in the winter/spring (natural) depressed state. The rise in energy coupled with low mood produce spur of the moment suicidal behavior.

Logically one can use this information to ameliorate mental health problems of anxiety, depression. I foresee a household system that anticipates your mental state accurately, perhaps using a combination of facial recognition coupled with scent analysis, and then deploys some subtle aromatherapy and adapts the natural lighting to something more conducive. This would also be useful for enhancing productivity more generally.

Did I mention that natural light is free of charge? :-)

There are actually very few heliostat natural light solutions out there, and certainly not for the average person. On the other hand it makes for a great DIY project.

Heliostats can also delete your heating bill with simple methods (they make it sound complicated in commercial literature, but it is just pointing a fucking mirror at a tank of water painted black.)

There are lots of homemade heliostat systems out there but to my knowledge, no books on how to do it. In my view every home should have a natural light solution, it seems fair somehow. Besides how cool is it that you can point natural light 'up' or in any direction using fibre cable? That will never get old for me and I'm not even an optics geek.
They're still kept around as a fallback in case the POS system goes down. At least, that was the case when I worked as a grocery store clerk 7-8 years ago.
