I instantly want to post a link to Guantanamo as a counter argument.

VAE are far from perfect and I know it. Compared to many other countries in the region, it feels like pure "freedom" to be there. I found the residents to be relatively open minded. And their respected leader, while an absolut monarch, has the problem he has to rule a country that has a heterogenous population that is partly ultra-modern and ultra-conservative and he does a quite good job (compared to other countries in the region, again). For example, drinking alcohol is allowed at home and in hotels, but it is strictly forbidden in public. If he ruled in favor of total freedom, the conservatives would complain. If he ruled in Saudi-style, the 80% foreigners and Tourists would stay away.

For family reasons, business reasons, tax reasons and weather reasons, I have some appreciation for UAE. But I absolutely need open internet and will not accept anything else.
I see two sides to this. One, the government of the country that allows this to happen is ultimately responsible. India is not a banana republic where companies can parachute in and muck about. So they bear responsibility for the working conditions they allow their fellow citizens to work under.

Two, yes firms with long and convoluted supply chains still have an obligation to ensure the suppliers follow local regulations, at the cost of contract. That said, supply chains are convoluted and can be difficult to follow, and the best way to address it is by the people closest the problem, the local people. If the locals are corrupt or don't care much about their fellow citizens, it does not absolve the foreign firms, but it does make things more difficult. It would help if there were established a WTO-like mechanism, but for pollution and labor concerns, to help enforce by way of treaties and thus penalties.

An option these economies would resist, I suspect would be to impose tariffs commensurate with their deviation from minimum international baselines for pollution, labor laws, etc. These growing economies, their governments and even the labor force, I suspect, would resist such efforts to bring progress in these areas.

Let's not forget western economies grew on child labor in the 19th century as well. It doesn't make it acceptable, but it should provide context.
I will just point out that the two statements that "the photos are in the public domain" and "she never abandoned her photo copyrights" are not in opposition.

Orphaned works (abandoned copyright) can be subject to re-copyrighting by another party from what my laymen's understanding of copyright law is.

Instead she specifically stipulated that these photos are in the public domain and so Getty is obviously operating under bad-faith principles.
Imagine the kind of thinking that would consider "literally everything else the UAE does" to be OK, but draws the line at "no vpns".
You may not want this comment to be on the public internet in the case that such a thing happens.

So what if someone decided to DOS quantum communications by spying on all of them? You don't need to be successful at deciphering the communications; you just need to tamper with many of them to make a whole bunch untrusted, and eventually others stop trusting the whole channel because most messages have false interception positives.
It is a shame that Amazon allows its employees to act against its own customer's interests. Amazon stands to lose a large amount of money if sellers and buyers begin to mistrust it.
Did Larry Ellison just transfer billions of dollars from himself to himself in a taxable transaction? I'm surprised the deal was all cash.
We only truncate the captions on mobile and only if the are longer than a set number of characters. If I recall, the thinking was that the captions might be pretty long on some galleries and we didn't want to detract too much from the visual experience for readers who just wanted to scroll through the gallery without reading 100% of the text.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the gallery even on a phone. Making an image heavy page work well like these is always tricky for mobile, but it's an experience we care about and plan on improving in the future.
In the Netherlands, http://snappcar.nl and https://mywheels.nl.

The process of booking a car a few days ahead of a weekend can be frustrating -- you spend the time choosing a few only to get a (slow) reply from the owner that the car is not available. When you finally do get one, you have to meet the owner to get and return the key (so no early/late hours). All of this for prices that are comparable with regular rental companies, even for older/not as nice cars.

I ended up a happy customer of shared "neighbourhood" cars -- you know when the car is available, and can use it 24/7 with your card. https://www.car2go.com, https://www.greenwheels.com, http://www.connectcar.nl, etc.
Twitter Censorship
It actually is illegal in some parts of the world; the EU at least. These kind of hidden fees (for travel, hotels, etc.) are illegal now exactly because you should be able to compare prices, and offenders are getting reprimanded and fined for it.

It's legal to charge for public domain content. It's not legal to misrepresent your wares to the buyer (fraud, as you said). There is no duty to inform buyers that the thing you're selling is available for free somewhere else, but when you're going around and demanding royalties from people using something that's PD and claiming to have an exclusive right to licensing the image, it's a different ball game.

So yeah, just selling it on their website is probably fine, but extorting money out of people who have equal right to use the image is probably not.
Look-behind regular expression
If so, it'd be the end of an era. Gmane has been a tremendous asset to the community for well over a decade; indeed, it feels as though it's always been there.

I suppose that it's one more nail in the coffin of NNTP. I really miss net news, but it probably wasn't possible for it to scale to support the entire world. It's sad, though: for a short time, all the interesting people in the world were able to communicate with one another.
Back to School Ideas That Drive Sales
Why everyone 'seems' to 'love' it the same reason functional programming and postgres are darling technologies here on HN.

It's more culture than anything else. People have been testing code for years and years, and people will keep making ways to organize teams, workflows, and every half decade a new Bootcamp, Redmine, Asana and Jira will come out.

At the end of the day, you have to have something in place. The bigger your team is the more you need it.

TDD is simply one school of thought for how to ship less bugs.

Some people do it, most people do not do it strictly.

Most of the teams I work with this day and age are no longer very strict on TDD because for their specific products they are shipping it slowed down development enough to notice.

But some people love it and some people I think it may make faster.

Personally I look at it as a way to solve a problem, likely when assembling a new team. If you don't have issues with speed and quality and coordination then I wouldn't try to add TDD. But if you do it's one of a handful of potential solutions , and depending on your team and product may or may not be a solution.

Really not. When you see a line like:

you know something has gone wrong somewhere.

Because when you have no idea how to get to quantum gravity, shutting down "unusual things in speculative direction" is pretty much guaranteed to leave you with nothing.

I think we need to point out that you personally have a strong pro-Apple bias that can be clearly seen in your comment history.

Also that the whole "Apple is the only one who innovates" sentiment is a really old piece of fanboy pap. Seriously, it's ancient and it couldn't be further from the truth.

First off - Apple bought, borrowed and stole a bunch of stuff that already existed and put it together to form a product that their competitors followed up with almost immediately. And then their competitors took away 80% of the market.

So Apple made a bunch of money. Yay! Good for them I guess? Good for you? If you own stock maybe...

Meanwhile, Amazon changed the entire world with AWS. Also Kindle. Windows tablets in general are killing it (you only counted the Surface brand, why?). Google started a whole new genre of product with the ChromeCast. Smart TVs changed the way that tons of people watch TV.

The list goes on and on and on. Try googling something like "most innovative products" and you'll find that most of the items on the lists are not invented by Apple.

When real time sync is not the best choice
To implement what you read, employ the method of Directives[1]. These days my notes look like the following (from "The Inevitable" by Kevin Kelly):

----------

You hate updates? Get used to them. Because in the future, living — for most surrounded by technology — will be a constant stream of updates.

1. Embrace being an Endless Newbie; don't be embarrassed if you don't know something!

In the era of constant updates, we will be newbies — forever. Something else we have to get used to. You won't have time to master anything, really. Most of the technologies that will play a large role in the next thirty years have not been invented.

...

We are living in the golden age. We just don't realize it. The last thirty years has created a great starting point. It is the best time ever in human history to begin.

You are not late.

2. Study AI and Hardware. Go out and slap AI and sensors to everything.

----------

The numbered list is my list of Directives. These imperatives seamlessly organize my notes well; all other pieces of information turn into arguments for these assertions. This info-gathering process feels very intuitive. Our brain must be good at gathering evidence for a piece of advice.

Besides the general Directives, I use org-mode for my tasks. The end goal is to develop sensible systems, not drain your willpower performing these directives. So when I have an idea for implementing a sensible system, I write it down in org-mode (which has a numbered list of all my tasks).

> The relationship between Oracle and NetSuite goes back decades. Zach Nelson, NetSuite’s CEO, previously ran Oracle’s marketing operations in the 1990s. Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison is NetSuite’s largest investor. As of March, Ellison and his family owned about 45.4 percent of NetSuite’s common stock, according to a company filing. Ellison has “control over approval of significant corporate transactions,’’ according to the filing.

Hmm, I wonder if the NetSuite board will approve this:)

Man, Microsoft has its OS and Office revenue to

Google and Facebook have their advertising revenue

Oracle has its licensing revenue

Amazon has its everything store revenue.

Apple has its iPhone revenue.

The big tech incumbents all figuratively print money each quarter.

If the long reported bubble burst ever gets around to happening, it's hard not to see them as the big winners. With piles of cash on hand and cash reserves growing can anyone make the case that they don't become the lender of last resort to cash strapped startups?

Side note, I'm surprised that Oracle is still running with Safra Catz and Mark Hurd as co-CEO's. I figured that that setup along with a very strong willed founder in Ellison, would cause some spectacular implosion at some point:)

I've had mixed experiences with autograders, but they seem to be important for scaling large classes. Georgia Tech has recently begun using an autograder for some classes in the MS program. It works better for some courses than others, and (inevitably) students end up considering the autograder the ultimate authority of correctness (even when some features can't be tested that way).
Wonderful achievement, kudos to Chinese scientists and engineers who pioneering this breakthrough.
I can't help feeling this is somewhat orchestrated.

This author was an adviser to Clinton's campaign. Clinton has already said this is a problem, but the reality is that she will do nothing about it (for various reasons). So, it seems the best way to make that palatable to her base is to start a new narrative that says, "there is no problem".

Like a Jedi brain trick, her followers will parrot the same thing and repeat the cherry picked statistics in these talking points.

Ah yes, the old double 'they are harming me by holding me accountable' and 'I am helping them by holding them accountable' defense.

What I'd like to know is how mindsets like this are formed in life, and how to prevent them. One's employer doesn't owe one a job; one owes one's employer fair labour in return for one's wages. The world does not consist of shadowy forces plotting against one. Don't minimise one's own agency: be an active force for good, not a passive subject of whatever happens.

Gov can still be considerably cheaper depending on the structure of the underlaying circuit, how much intrest does the gov charge vis a vis the banks, I'm sure for profit institution charge a lot more, leading to a higher fraction of income going into repayments, depressing overall demand, thus GDP, thus higher gov debt ratio. etc ...

That is an interesting observation. For me, closely observing would translate to nagging individuals several times a day about what they are doing as well as how they are doing something.

The end goal of standups, the way I understand it, is to figure out what people in your team are doing and what they are stuck at in order to:

* align people towards individual goals in the sprint that require collaboration;
* remove impediments that are beyond the control of team members and that may cause delays;
* improve task and load distribution, so that some members aren't overburdened while others are slacking off (if you run a short sprint and give team member autonomy to work, tasks that require collaboration from several team members can tend to become bottlenecks, as I have experienced).

I suppose you could well call it micro-managing if these standups were used to manage individuals instead of the process. In my view however, standups help you gather data to manage and improve the process, so as to make things favourable for the team.
Most decent companies there, generally don't do that. However, there are always exceptions.

Furthermore, this issue generally plagues the contractor companies (those that provide workers to bigger govt companies - who don't really care and use contractors to get around this in the first place)

Quite a lot of private companies do the same as well.

Very recently (just 6 months back), a friend of mine, got an offer from an import/export company in UAE. They had a few interviews over the phone and agreed upon the everything (including salary, accommodations and so on..)

Once my friend (a Canadian citzien) landed in UAE, the company took his passport and then demanded that he sign a different contract (reduced salary, longer period, etc.) and refused to hand over his password till he signed it. He had to threaten to visit the Embassy, for them to hand it back to him. However, if he was a citizen of some 3rd world country like India, Pakistan or anywhere from Asia, or even some European countries - he'd not have a choice but to sign the new contract.

Furthermore, when he tried to leave - as he was no longer interested in working for the company, they refused to pay for his flight back as well.

I for one support child labor and recognize that people cannot be lifted out of poverty by fiat. Children working along side their parents means these families can eat, and trying to legislate that away only prolongs and exasperates their poverty.

Every advanced economy started with child labor and other, from our perspective, deplorable conditions. The people must be able to gain enough capital first, before children can go to school, adults can have higher level jobs and enjoy other similar benefits of an advanced economy. But getting there is not a matter of outlawing child labor, instituting a minimum wage or other notions some have for "helping" the poor.

I think the reasons are more practical. It's rare that it rains very hard in Portland. Carrying an umbrella throughout six to eight months of the year just in case is inconvenient, and you'll probably end up losing it anyway.
