>If, though, Zavodnik has figured out a way to serve people requests without them actually knowing about it... Well, that seems like a much larger legal loophole that needs closing.

Not likely the case. The rules of civil procedure establish the various methods of lawful service of process, as a result there are a lot of safe guards. In fact, it is more likely a Plaintiff's lawsuit is dismissed for failing to properly serve the Defendant within the proper amount of time after filing suit than actually collecting on a default judgment where there was improper service of process.

In this particular case, if the Defendant can show the Complaint and admissions were improperly served, and the Plaintiff knew or should have known his claims were not supported by fact, he could be sanctioned, including, but not limited to: a) all the legal fees it took the defendant to vacate the default judgment; and b) a dismissal of the plaintiffs lawsuit.

>If someone sues you and you don't respond, you risk a default judgment against you.

Definitely. Plaintiffs can also establish to the Court the Defendant is actively evading service, but there are many legitimate reasons one can't serve a Defendant. Still, even in the event of defaults the Courts will readily Vacate (set aside) default judgments in circumstances including, but not limited to: 1. improper service; and/or 2. defenses on the merits.
On Memorial Day I walked outside and did a double take - my quiet street, tucked away many turns from any main road, was backed up with cars from end to end. I'd never seen that before in 5 years here. Turned out it was Waze sending beachgoers (I'm still 30 minutes from the beach) on a side route to the nearest on ramp for the highway that heads to the coast. Within an hour there was a police car here diverting drivers and the town put up cones to stop it.

What's frustrating is this "shortcut" was completely ineffective. It simply moved the traffic jam from the main roads to our tiny neighborhood.
I mean, I don't think I've ever seen an ambulance stop for a stop sign. But even allowing that speed bumps will slow an ambulance down, it's not as though there would ever be 200 speed bumps delaying the ambulance by 10 minutes. If the ambulance arrives a few seconds too late, the ambulance was already several minutes too late to begin with.
wonder if a general liability policy would cover this sort of thing although they would probably just settle. of course they might show up with an army of lawyers.
That's why the 2A states "arms" and not "firearms".
We redefine security for every project. Some projects can (de)serialize code and be secure. Others can't.
Force? No. But planning, incentives, market-oriented policies like congestion charges? Sure.

The reason traffic gets so bad during rush hour is a simple case of supply and demand: limited supply road of space, lots of demand, and most importantly, the space is effectively free. If cities charged something approaching market rate for the space, traffic gridlock would disappear.

Of course, this is impractical to do in most US cities, because of a lack of alternative ways to get around. Thus, the first thing that needs to happen is to provide more options; once that's done, you can work on incentivizing people to take the methods that can support more people.
The 4kb restriction isn't there to make it run on weak hw, it's there to push people.
Let's say, at 2x the USA price it would still be less hassle for me to pay than to pirate. I'm quite modest middle class in my country.

Thanks for the feedback. I Haven't got the same error as you, but I will have to find out what has gone wrong. Better than Googles calendar was nice to hear :)
I've read too many real articles like this that I actually didn't realize it was satire.
Elm gives you the ability to hook into requestAnimationFrame, which allows you to execute some native js through a port when a piece of html first renders.

Hah. It is true that a lot of the people traveling are 'privileged', but probably not with 60k a month trust funds :) They are just privileged by where they were born, the value of their currency and the support they might have from family. A lot of the people I met when I did my traveling had little savings, had worked their asses off to save up for the trip and didn't have any employment lined up for when they get back. As software developers we are doubly lucky to have jobs that are portable worldwide and in demand, I did a little consulting on the way to help pay for things.

btw if you have an urge to do this do it before you have kids - after that, well, not going to happen probably.

I just want to point out that two million pounds of pot at $1000/per is already worth billions from a facility about the combined size of a CVS and Walgreens sharing a street corner.
The problem isn't that the road is closed/restricted.

The problem is that the app is telling people to use other roads that were not designed for such traffic. If not for the app, the majority of them would likely have stuck to major arteries that are meant to handle high traffic, but instead they are flooding into side streets and causing problems.

More succinctly, the problem is that the app encourages using the roads in ways that are inappropriate. It is abusive of the road network.
I apologize, but there's only so much you can do in 80 character titles. It was not my intention to be unclear.

When you:

* Move all of your developers / resources from Project A to Project B

* On the page for Project A you state "Project A development efforts are focused on bug fixes and minor improvements."

* THEN you go and close a bunch of valid even minor / easily fixed bugs (ex https://github.com/angular/material/issues/1659) and PRs stating "This issue is closed as part of our Project B efforts."

...it's my opinion that Project A is now deprecated, even if they don't expressly state that it is.
Ideally, "willing to". I'd like to see a cultural shift where everyone sees the value of broadcast media and news, and those who have the means feel it's their responsibility to contribute in order to further the development and sharing of knowledge and culture.

I hate to compare it to open source software (because I don't think we've really settled on an ideal and universally appealing method of funding); but currently depending on the license, open source software is generally freely enjoyable by all and funded by those individuals and corporations who can and wish to do so.

Humble Bundle is another great example. Everyone pays - those with little (money or will to pay) can pay £0.01, those with more can and do pay much more, effectively becoming patrons.

Edit: Humble Bundle is another great example (just to highlight that while not open source, their funding model is innovative and objectively quite successful).
I fled from USA to the third world with very little money because I was so poor I couldn't really afford to move to anywhere else I wanted to be within the USA. I continued to be poor and lived on rice and chicken for several years before starting to make decent money and was able to return to the USA. I also really enjoyed this satire and just shared it on my Facebook.. lol.
You could always rewrite it yourself.

Not every submission to HN was created as or intended for a Hacker News audience. The author wasn't under any obligation to publish their slides, personally I'm glad they did.
> Why should they hire people to support something which generates, as far as I can see, no revenue for Google?

The reason most companies release projects open source for free is that they created them to solve a problem for themselves, but want to benefit from community contributions. Google's ease of abandon suggests they are not really using this library internally.

You mean like the Revolutionary and Civil wars in the US? Yes, that exact thing does sometimes occur. Historically it occurs frequently all around the world. At any given time, there is a civil war going on somewhere in the world that involves just such conflict.
And that is exactly why people love Elm:

> "foo" "bar"
-- TYPE MISMATCH --------------------------------------------- repl-temp-000.elm

You are giving an argument to something that is not a function!

3| "foo" "bar"
^^^^^
Maybe you forgot some parentheses? Or a comma?

Also

> "foo" + "bar"
-- TYPE MISMATCH --------------------------------------------- repl-temp-000.elm

The left argument of (+) is causing a type mismatch.

3| "foo" + "bar"
^^^^^
(+) is expecting the left argument to be a:

number

But the left argument is:

String

Hint: To append strings in Elm, you need to use the (++) operator, not (+).

Both limited liability and special tax treatment (an ironic benefit in this case) are available to corporate forms that are not subject to the corporate tax at all, so this is a hollow justification.
As long as you have a $60,000/mo trust fund, these aren't difficult problems to solve. Just take your entire family with you when you travel! No need to renew your H-1B since your income from that job is a pittance compared to your monthly stipend anyway. And you can always hire a full-time aide to care for your parents! 


Seriously though, it sucks that you're going through a rough time. I don't think there's a magic bullet - you just have to keep on moving and see where life takes you. If you end up having to move back to your home country, will that really be the worst thing imaginable?

Even if your standard of living takes a hit, your family will survive and you'll be together. I've been down a similar road before, and although it seems calamitous at the time, eventually you adapt and it's just life.
An unfair head start for your React Native apps

That's what my point is - in your head, you might think you're doing something that's less of an offense. But it's not.
Wouldn't the onus be on Zavodnik to prove he sent the documents by registered mail?
Advice: read the article, it's satire.
Maybe, maybe not. As with most very diverse things: it depends. Yes, googling for the honesty policies is easy, if you know they are typically referred to as the 'honor code.' I would imagine that a fair percentage of US and foreign students would be confused as to what 'honor' has to do with cheating though ("Like, chivalry is dead, bro"), but that is not an excuse. And to be fair, even though the honor codes are strict, does not mean that the cheating is not rampant. A friend's wife taught a lot of Chinese nationals as a grad student and she said that they cheated a lot. However, that was not due to maliciousness or ignorance. They knew it was 'not kosher' to cheat, but back in China it seems that these kids has the same 'don't cheat' policy but if you believed in that, you were totally screwed and the cheating was seen as a necessary evil by people at all levels of society. You had to hide it, but everyone knew everyone else did it. Now to these 17/18 year old kids newly in the US, they did not expect the system to really be any different (think back to yourself at that age). And typically it is not. You only get punished if you get caught. There really are no downsides for them. Yeah, sure, some scapegoat is made every once in a while, but how is that different than the way China works anyways? The only difference here is that you don't have to bribe as much. I mean, the average grade at Harvard is an A- [0], how could you NOT think that cheating is rampant at the very highest levels? Sure, they call it 'grade inflation', but a rose by any other name smells just as sweet.

I feel like this line should be in the article.
The market will sort out if some configuration of this tech is profitable. For me, the real value in researching and developing systems like this is the non-terrestrial applications. Mars is the exact environment where maximising lbs of edible plant per cubic foot or gallon of water is most important.
Google Maps is routing me down these 1-lane residential roads, too, and I'd generally rather it didn't.

These 1-lane roads are already a headache for those living there, with cars parked on both sides, making dealing with ANY traffic a pain.

Traffic is terrible where I live, but I'd rather spend another 1-5 minutes on a major thoroughfare than drive through someone's neighborhood.

I don't live on a street that has this problem (it's a dead end) but we have our own parking disaster unrelated to thru traffic, so maybe its easier for me to empathize with these homeowners about something that they have almost no control over and lowers quality of life.
>Seems like it probably offloads most of the work on GPU

It does just about everything on the GPU. All the CPU does is repeatedly render two triangles and play music: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8070879

Here it has been adapted to WebGL: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/MdX3Rr

Edit: I'm wrong about the two triangles. From the .nfo-file:

for those wondering, this a (too) low density flat mesh displaced with
a procedural vertex shader. there arent any texturemaps for texturing,
instead texturing (and shading) is defferred and computed procedurally
in a full screen quad. this means there is zero overdraw for the quite
expensive material at the cost of a single geometry pass. then another
second full screen quad computes the motion blur. camera movements are
computed by a shader too and not in the cpu, as only the gpu knows the
procedural definition of the landscape.
A lot of those points are simply not true in a loser pays system, such as the UK or Australia.

> It encourages people to pick the best, most expensive lawyer in town for every case no matter the expense, because your opponent will be picking up the tab.

The court determines whether fees being claimed by the winner are reasonable. Bar associations (or the local equivalent) publish fee scales, and the courts will often require winners to cover a portion of their expenses if they determine them to be excessive.

If a litigant was found to be deliberately using the most expensive legal representation in an attempt to bankrupt the other party they'd almost certainly be sanctioned.

> If, say, your landlord steals your $1500 security deposit for no good reason, are you really willing to risk $5000 in lawyer's fees over $1500?

Most loser pays systems offer similar small claims courts, which don't require lawyer. So your $1,500 dispute would go there, rather than to a trial court.

> It makes the courts a weapon of last resort rather than the standard dispute-resolution mechanism

You have misunderstood what the courts are. They are a measure of last resort. Ask any judge or lawyer: courts expect parties in a trial to attempt to settle. That includes going to non-binding arbitration and making reasonable settlement offers. Courts take a very dim view of parties that don't attempt to settle.

In fact, if the loser made a pre-trial offer that was higher than the amount eventually awarded, the courts will often make the winner pay some or all of their own costs. This is on the basis the winner has wasted the court's time: they had a better offer, and they refused to take it.
Yes, this is when I've had a problem with it as well. A neighbor has the option of parking in front of his own house, or mine. He chooses mine, which results in a longer walk for him. Why would he do this? Because he doesn't like having a car parked in front of his house. Implicitly acknowledging that he sees having a car parked in front of the house is a bad thing, and by relieving himself of that bad thing, he's imposing it on me.

Yes, in the scheme of things, this is SUPER minor. No, I've never complained to anyone about it. But I do think it's a little bit disingenuous to just say "it's a public street, anyone can park there" without acknowledging that if there were no negative, they'd be parking in front of their own house instead of mine.
If a certain route like that is overtaxed, the solution should be to either expand the road, or improve other options (likely transit), not just accept tons of through traffic in residential neighborhoods.
"Stupid question: if the printer was worth $40 ($75 with shipping) how come the damages are worth $30k"

That part is about the admissions, where the plaintiff requested the defendant admit damages were 30k (or whatever), and anything not responded to is considered admitted.
It happened in the civil war:

And that was with the sides largely being split geographically.

I truly feel sorry for those who started learning web development somewhere between 2009 and 2014.

During that time, it seems like what would be accepted as the new standard for creating web applications was completely up for grabs. You had Angular, Backbone, Ember, and probably many others that just didn't get noticed.

Can you imagine being a new developer during this time, trying to learn how to create a web application with no prior knowledge?

When I started getting serious about this in 2006 or so, it was difficult enough just learning the basics of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and how everything worked together. I have been into computers and programming my entire life, had learned C and a few other languages, and it still took me years to become an intermediate 'full-stack' developer. Again this is before any of these MVC frameworks were out.

I think the main problem comes in when you try to engineer a completely new standard on top of an already existing standard.

Whatever happened to using servers and browsers as they were meant to be used? Why are we constantly trying to reinvent the standard and giving these libraries which make everything more complicated attention? Is the reduction in requests to the server by having everything on client side really that beneficial with today's computing power and language capabilities (Golang http://marcio.io/2015/07/handling-1-million-requests-per-min...)? The logic here escapes me.

Angular wants you to basically use a new language and web architecture, complete with hundreds of pages of documentation specific to Angular, on top of the standard. I didn't hear about Angular Material until now, and it's even more mind boggling - are we trying to have every site look and function just like the Google platform now? There's already a standard for that - no styling on inputs (granted it will look different from browser to browser).

Luckily though, after half a decade, it seems like the community has a better understanding of what would be best and the tools have been built for it. I think in the near future, we'll see Golang and React take the lead in their respective areas of web development.
In your second example, wouldn't "loser pays" make the plaintiff more likely to persue, since he is likely to recover the $5000 in damages from the landlord who took $1500 for no reason?
Just use a burner email and never give them your name. Meet in a public place and there's no tracing the item back to you. I imagine if you responded with mycraigslistemail@gmail.com and asked to meet in a public place, if you did happen to come upon a troll, they would stop the deal.

One of the most interesting things about the gun rights community is how strenuously this exact question of "where do you draw the bright line that, once crossed, you'll rise up?" is avoided.

You know how that guy took that video of himself asking anti-abortion protestors, "if abortion is murder, then shouldn't we put women who procure abortions on trial for murder?" and they all just short-circuited, like they'd never even thought of the question before? And how Trump stepped in it when he suggested that women who procure abortions should be punished?

The "ok, so exactly when do you plan on using that thing, and with what group (because we all know you're not going to fight tyranny by yourself)?" questions are sort of like that, but for pro-gun people. They either haven't really thought it through that far, or they're not willing to talk about it, or both.

FWIW, I think many gun rights people have the same delusion about guns as anti-gun people, and that's this: a gun in the hands of an individual is a thing of immense, Godlike power for mass destruction. The pro-gun people are all <boromir>We can use this power for good</boromir>, and the anti-gun people are all <gandalf>drop that ring!</gandalf>.

But where they both go wrong is at the heart of what you've pointed out: guns are an effective political force only when wielded by organized groups towards a specific set of goals. Everyone just having a gun in their closet is about as effective as everyone just going out and voting (without having a party or a plan). You can do that and feel like you've got some power, but you're not actually changing anything or threatening the status quo. It's just a political fantasy that you're buying into.
Don't quit your job and travel the world. Hint: look for "REMOTE" keyword @HN. Stay 1-2 months at one place at a time via AirBnB to get cheaper rates and use Hipmunk's chained flights to avoid returns. Did that for >1 year, best time of my life!
Why do we let people sell us cynicism? What benefit is it to us? Does it make you feel better for not pursuing your dream of travelling? Maybe the problem is you and not your lack of trust fund.

For about $5000 a person, my friends and I bought a car in California, shipped it to London and drove to China. I was poor at the time and put most of it on a credit card. I also kept my job-- I saved up 3.5 weeks of vacation and lobbied my boss to give me a few extra days on top to give me a full month out. It was one of the best times of my life and something I always love to reflect on.

I guess what I'm upset about is, along with this article, no matter what you say there will be people trying to convince all of us that we can't have a happy life without a trust fund. Not Madison Ave... people on these forums. 'Not everybody has $XXX', 'Not everbody is as lucky..'. Shut up. Either start pursuing your dreams or shut up. Stop bringing everybody down with you. Travelling the world is a series of small easy steps that anyone can do. It's vile to try and convince people otherwise.
