There is a middle ground between Joseph Stalin killing millions in Siberia, and dying homeless on the street in San Francisco because you can't afford your HIV medication.

And it looks like Canada, Switzerland, or The Netherlands. Utopias? Hardly. And that's not the point ("Utopia" is a black-and-white concept. The world is gray). The point is incremental improvements forward, sometimes 2 steps forward and 1 back (e.g. turns out legalizing prostitution doesn't automatically eliminate human trafficking. But it doesn't mean the idea is bad, just that it's not enough on it's own.)

You are correct, I am against warrantless government surveillance. But again, middle ground. Why can I not be against blanket all-encompassing communication surveillance with no oversight, but for regulation that protects my drinking water from factories dumping untreated waste? Or are you trying to tell me that it's both or neither? Because if so, I do not want to live in your Randian Utopia.
I previously worked with the Nintendo Web Framework to bring one of my HTML5 games to the Wii U[1].

NWF itself is quite polished and very easy to work with. You get all the dev tools you know from Chrome – the debugger connects directly to the console. "Porting" my game was very straight forward for the most part.

However, the hardware setup was clunky. You're swapping out SD cards to install images with the system software and the account setup is really tedious.

The worst part was the whole paperwork you have to wade through. The game submission process is as manual as it gets. There's no nice web interface to tie it all together - instead you're writing emails, filling out PDFs and Excel Sheets(!). Hundreds of emails.

I can only hope that they improved the paperwork part. This was all about 2 years ago.

They do actually, remember the titanium protective plate retrofit a year or so back on the Model S? There have also been various drive train issues and such.

IIRC think the Model X had a problem with the headrest already that resulted in full recall.
That's a local affair as far as I'm concerned.

But you're taking issue with us on our 'high horses' criticizing it and that should be respected.

People have voted for dumb things many times in the past, in my opinion this is one of those times. Might or majority do not automatically make right.

If you 'clean up' a city or a country by extra-judicial killings that makes the cure no better than the disease.

If the country has a corruption issue the solution is not to go and kill people without due process. This is attacking a symptom, leaving the root cause un-examined and so will not solve the problem in the longer term.

Juno is in a highly elliptical orbit, which will take it within 5000km of Jupiter's cloud tops. This photo was taken from much further away than that. In short, check back in about a month. :)
> "As road conditions became increasingly uncertain, the vehicle again alerted the driver to put his hands on the wheel," said Tesla. "He did not do so and shortly thereafter the vehicle collided with a post on the edge of the roadway."

This is the real danger of autopilot: not that it is unreliable but that humans are lazy and don't think rare events (like dangerous situations that result in a crash without intervention) don't happen to them.

I'm not sure autopilot is a good middle ground between assistance and full automation exactly because of what these accidents show. It basically makes the typical ride so uneventful and mind-numbingly boring drivers stop paying attention and become unable to react appropriately when a dangerous situation does occur.

Cruise control had similar problems: it reduces speeding-related accidents (because drivers are less likely to micro-optimize their speed) but it increases the risk of rear-ending because drivers don't have to stay as alert for the majority of the driving (and then miss those situations in which they need to react quickly).

Humans are not good at staying attentive for extended periods of timing, especially when nothing ever happens. Self-driving cars can fix this by removing the need for human intervention, but autopilot seems like one of those technologies that should be safer in theory but ultimately fails to consider the human factor.
Glad Juno has made it and appears to be working OK. Not the most amazing image, better ones are routinely taken by amateurs from earth, but the crescent can only be seen by going there as Jupiter lies outside our orbit. We'll see much closer views from Juno when it's moved to a closer orbit in October.

I came across this on Reddit the other day, taken with a smartphone and 8" telescope: https://www.reddit.com/r/astrophotography/comments/4kegyv/sm...
Reddit only appeals to a specific demographic though. Twitter seems to have broader appeal somehow. I think because Twitter conversation is less controlled by a majority.
Yep, Juno's orbit will take it much closer than this, so we should expect more interesting photos in about a month's time.
I don't think anyone is claiming superiority either way. Britain just voted brexit in free elections mainly for stupid reasons.

The point is, there are two patterns here which should be of concern: a popular leader calls for violence and vigilante style justice. In the long term this a non-stabilizing policy and likely to do a bit of economic damage. The second is that I give it a fifty-fifty that Duarte will run through a legislation that will turn him into a president-for-life. These types of scenarios usually go bad, take Zimbabwe for example.

I'm not saying 'going tough' would not work in the short term - but there is no reason the president should concentrate on this single issue except to stir popular support. Just removing crime won't make rhe all other problems go away. I would claim 'going tough' is the ultimate cop out move by any statesman since it removes attention from other problems and does not help build anything new.

History has proven that doing away with all the uncivilised people makes a society better.

When the uncivilised people control a large amount of money, they control the power, and there's simply no hope of just fixing corruption as you propose.

I think what this guy is proposing will prove to be a good idea with time, and you have his time as a mayor as an example. Even if a few innocents die. To make an omelette you have to break some eggs.
We are talking about the Philippines. The guns do come from the US. The entire country is heavily armed -- compared to most countries -- especially Mindanao. Bullets are widely available. Some people would say this is exactly why the situation is not going to calm down and certainly not quickly.
> Obviously you can and should spend you money wisely. You should not live paycheck to paycheck if you can avoid it. You also should not hoard all of your money and live a miserable penny pinching life unless that somehow makes you happy. But this is boring advice that everyone knows.

> The reality is that people tend to spend most or all of what they earn. People like to own nice homes and nice vehicles and take nice vacations etc etc.

Aren't these statements contradictory? My point was that it's obvious that a lot of people don't know this, and you CAN avoid living from paycheck to paycheck.

I did it when I was a student (with no help from parents) and had at most $400 a month after rent, and I do it now that I make a lot more. I however still don't go out a ton, and I don't have a fancy car, or purchase anything on a contract, because the luxury part doesn't give me any happiness. I still eat great food and have people over and travel as much as I can.

I find this obvious. You do to. My OP was about people not.

Yeah, the Koch brothers would only be worth 5 billion instead of 40, but somehow I don't think their lifestyle will be altered in any way shape or form.

It's insane. The country will descend into chaos because the rule of law will be replaced with the rule of the gun, and the gangsters are better at that game.

That isn't so much a race condition as session/state corruption. The designer hasn't considered that their chosen state store in this instance is not entirely private so two instances of their code can clobber each other's global state.

A common occurrence of this I've seen in many places (including some of our old code years ago) is using a cookie to store simple client-side choices that you want to persist between requests, for instance the tab that was selected when you were last on a complex page, or some other temporary preference, or as in your example breadcrumbs for navigation.

This falls over as soon as the user has two tabs/windows open because (unless the window is explicitly opened with a different session i.e. in private mode, with File/NewSession in IE, or such) the cookies (even temporary session level ones) are a shared resource. It isn't a big issue usually as more often than not it only concerns superficial UI matters (those that are "nice to have"s rather than breaking something essential), but I can imagine circumstances where the problem could open more serious problems.

Not sure exactly to what you're referring, but if it involves hacking your Tesla to re-enable it,

a) that will vastly reduce the level of usage, and
b) the OTA update could very well completely remove the code from storage, making the job of hacking a much more involved process than just enabling a flag.

> Thomas, you may not not realise you have just written a one line thesis for the justification of colonialism.

The point is, how do you rebut this without using human-right thesis ? If enlightenment is to be discarded, why should people not invade your country and reduce its population to slavery ?
I think it's more convenient, and I've had better experiences with rideshare drivers than any taxi.

You can just call one from your apartment when headed across town instead of waiting for one to drive by on the street. In my experience calling taxis isn't always reliable. Uber etc. show you the driver's location and distance, and they won't stop to bring someone else to the airport.

I think a big part is the quality of the taxis in your area. In San Francisco, they'd do the "card machine is broken" bit (eventually turning it on when you have no cash), or just not pick you up if you were headed out into the Sunset, or drive a longer way hoping you don't notice.

In Dublin, Ireland, calling an Uber will invariably call a taxi. They're usually friendly folks that don't mind that you're only going a few blocks to bring home your groceries because you missed the bus.

But the bar to call Uber a 'better product' is pretty low. There's nothing it does spectacularly better than Lyft or Flywheel or any other app.

A big part of their value is how low the customer experience can go with a traditional taxi. I just want to rent someone's time for point to point transit without any bullshit.
Live video in Facebook isn't separate: it is a different form of news item that is integrated into everything else. Messages is totally unrelated to everything else... it was a tab at the bottom that had no integration into the rest of the app, but because of that left limited ways to expand the experience of messaging itself (as the tab bar was already being used). It made absolutely no sense to have those things be crammed into the same UI.
Technically the swerving itself is not necessarily illegal, but it makes you liable for anything that could have been avoided by not swerving. If you swerve on a free and open road and don't cause any damage or injury to anything or anyone (including yourself and your car), it's not like you will still be dragged to court just because you didn't want to unnecessarily run over someone's pet.
> First of all, Duterte was elected overwhelmingly with a clear mandate of using brute violence to clear out drug dealers.

And journalists too! Kill everyone you don't like!

> “Just because you’re a journalist you are not exempted from assassination, if you’re a son of a bitch,” Duterte said when asked how he would address the problem of media killings in the Philippines, after a reporter was shot dead in Manila last week.

> “Most of those killed, to be frank, have done something. You won’t be killed if you don’t do anything wrong,” Duterte said, adding that many journalists in the Philippines were corrupt.

> “That can’t be just freedom of speech. The constitution can no longer help you if you disrespect a person,”

Citation fairly urgently needed.

Does that mean we will have to get rid of the killers as well? They're uncivilized people as well, after all.

Ah, that's too bad.

Too bad the druggies don't have a religion so they could appeal to the UN or something.
These rules are essentially a simplification (`global` keyword removed) of those used in Python 3. They may be the simplest rules possible without requiring variable declarations, but they have a couple of problems:

1. A typo on the LHS of an assignment will create a new variable rather than being flagged as an error.

2. There is no way to create variables which are local to the current block, for example, the body of a loop.
For me, the rule of law must trump all - the moment we sidestep that, it's the moment an already unfair (for the common man at least) legal system instantly becomes unacceptably weighted towards the state, bad policing and loss of the "justice" from the justice system.

In your situation, the judge would almost certainly be expected to throw out the evidence. I'd almost always prefer one guilty person go free than set a precedent that allows dodgy evidence and corrupt practices to convict innocent people. Plus - if the police /really/ know he's guilty, he'll be watched, and probably caught again.
Reminds me of a conversation of I had with a Cameroonian recently. He said: "I don't understand how these drug dealers and criminals can get away with so much in your country [I'm from South Africa]. Where I'm from the soldiers will take you to the bush and execute you. That's how they brought peace to my country. The military kidnapped all the criminals and drug dealers and killed them".

I don't have any way to verify this, but he seemed pretty happy about it and hoped they would do it in other countries too.

edit: Wait... did I just read correctly? He gave the public permission to kill drug addicts? That's the WTF of the year.
Do you think folks currently participating in murders will put their guns down once they run our of drug dealers/addicts?

This policy is akin to starting fire in a house to get rid of rats.

So can we kill corrupt cops as well then? I mean if we are going to go full circle, lets just kill everyone we dont agree with. That will solve all our issues! /s
It really fits well with their image of an agile tech company producing car from the future. Also they need those software upgrade as it buys them some time to focus on new car model rather than replacing existing one.

Tesla is still a tiny player in the car business and at some point a big brand will enter its market in force. They need to be bullish to maintain their image.

That said, their PR has always been overreactive. Remember all the dirt they thrown at people reviewing their car. Or how they came hard on people with their burning Tesla. Those were unnecessary "dickish". If Tesla has some actual blame to take, the tone set by their PR people is going to seriously backfire.
Bux is the hipster Bloomberg terminal for the rest of us
Even if 100 percent of the electorate had given the politicians a mandate to kill drug dealers it would not be okay.

Democracy does not trump human rights and rule of law.
DISCLAIMER: I am a Filipino and I live in the Philippines

When an international media writes something without much knowledge on what's really going on it blows out of proportion. Now let me give you an idea of our situation here before the Duterte presidency.

HISTORY

==============

The Marcoses and Aquinos and their cronies, have brought the Philippines to its knees for decades (50 years). These families are what we called the "elites" and they are actually the ones who are pulling the strings behind the scenes. They own the local media and the news that you can watch/read were all filtered. Guess what happens when an international media make our local news as the source of their publication?

DRUGS

==============

We are almost in a narco-state before the Duterte presidency. Just a few days ago 5 police generals were mentioned that they are the protectors of the DRUG TRIAD here in the Philippines. It was also mentioned that 23 mayors are also linked to the triad and this is just in the 2nd week of Duterte's presidency. It is also rumored that people linked to drugs goes way up the ranks -- senators, justice, congressmen, etc. President Duterte had a list of people involved and the same list were given to the former President Aquino but he did nothing.

Today, a few thousands drug addicts/pushers surrendered. Drug addicts who turn themselves in are given rehabilitation and jail time for pushers. Hundred were taken out by the police because they fought back. One even thrown a grenade!

President Durterte emphasized a lot of times that everybody should follow the law. Police should operate within the bounds of the law but I guess this wasn't mentioned every time a foreigner write about him.

KILLING IS WRONG! But, we live in a different and a more challenging world than the rest of you. What is white for you may be gray for us.

No. People are stupid.

By the next election cycle given the way social media and the 24x7 news cycle are evolving into just pointless reaction and counter-reaction, voting will be restricted to those who can pass an exam. Like getting your drivers license and being allowed on the road.

We will have a new definition of what an elected govt is. And the commentators here can get back to thinking about things that aren't way above their pay grade.

Ask HN: Would you read a book about deploying Rails applications?
Hey everybody,

There are lots of books/tutorials about developing Rails applications, but I feel there aren't many good/extensive books about deploying them... about automating server setup, keeping a server running, automating backups, splitting the database and the application on different servers for scaling up etc...

Maybe its because there are things like Heroku, and developers don't need to know how to deploy an app otherwise?

Anyways, I learned all that stuff by trial and error, and am wondering if others would want to know how to do it too? Would you be interested in an extensive book about deploying Rails applications?
Google cares a lot about user privacy. If only a few percent of their users change their default search engine from Google to DuckDuckGo, they will loose a lot of revenue.
Funny you should mention it, but I've played a fair amount of Clash Royale as well (level 8 at upper arena 5). I still have a hard time recommending it though. It's such a great game in there, but I feel the IAP and the structure around it is what plagues it.

Pacing it to gouge money to unlock chests, no max levels on cards (especially in tournaments), selling epics and chests etc.

I wish there was or I could come up with better ways to monetize it other than hats, but the game could be SO much better, and I would feel good about sinking money into it. The only thing that would happen, were I to put money into it, is that I would maybe bump up an arena or two earlier than otherwise, but then I would be in the exact same spot there instead. There's no end to the gouging, where gouging != possibility to put in more money.

No it isn't. Get an Excel and calculate. It will last about a year.
Yea, my mother i law also says that Barcelona, Spain was really safe at night during the dictatorship, with military police on every corner. That does not make it right, or even a good thing. Safety for the sake of safety is not a solution.

Agreed, and to add more detail for comparison - the current distance is around 2 million kilometers, so resolution should jump by a factor of about 500 (per dimension, not number of pixels) at closest range.

EDIT: For a comparison to Hubble - at closest approach JunoCam will get 5 kilometers per pixel [1], while Hubble gets in the region of 120 kilometers per pixel [2]. So, giant jump in quality, though the field of view from up close will be limited.

Think of African or American colonisation for example. Local opposition had to be removed.

Think of the war on drugs in the USA, which was a covert operation to kill blacks.

Etc

>Does that mean we will have to get rid of the killers as well? They're uncivilized people as well, after all.

No they are not. They earned the right to kill drug lords and junkies through democracy. With all due respect did you read the article? This isn't some kind of evil tyrant, that guy earned his position through the electorate because he's been using that plan to do away with scum in his own city and it worked well. Citizens are looking forward to cleanse their country and that's what they'll do, I hope.
