>The problem with allowing illegally obtained evidence to be admissible is that it sets a legal precedent.

I think what the parent is asking for is precisely for it to be the case ALWAYS, so whether this specific instance would set a legal precedent shouldn't matter.

>The DA can use this case as an argument next time, effectively incentivising police to breach protocol in other more egregious ways like tapping into your phone calls without reason.

Not if in addition to using the evidence they also punish the policemen who broke protocol as severely as needed to de-incentivise them.

Except we have some reason to believe they would value nailing some specific criminal with video evidence over their careers...
sadly that 80/20 can be applied to other controversial issues as well if not the conflict of interests of being in bed with politicians or corporate interests.

outside of hard sciences its difficult for even some in the field to know what is and and what isn't at times, the chance for the layman is near zero. hence when I tend to dismiss anything backed with politician ranting

You can easily connect a lot of things to your mobile and automate them. The phone already has a lot of sensors so I would think more along the line of "which motors can I connect my phone to?". You could build a robot for example...
All Delta flights grounded due to system-wide network outage
You misunderstood what he's saying here. He's not saying logs aren't worth the investment, he's saying that logging is rarely done usefully/correctly, so don't have an over reliance on log output. Instead, you should track and rely on system-wide metrics.

Of course you should put the time in to do logging, but at every point of control over what the contents of the logs are you should be ensuring that what you log is information about the state of the system, not picking a class of errors you think is possible at the time and logging only that. If you've worked with any "enterprise" type Java software that ends up in a distributed system, you'll know exactly what he means. Your logs end up filled with huge XML outputs that are completely irrelevant about one particular error that actually doesn't really affect system state overall, while the things that plague you in a global way are almost impossible to hunt down without building a test cluster and running captured requests through it.

Logging request/response, logging process steps by request ID, etc. are much more useful. Having the IDs in your logs correlate to the IDs in your data is also helpful because it allows your Ops people to do queries across both datasets to find common factors for where requests fail and what that type of data looks like vs requests that succeed, as an example.

As he mentions though, most people don't think it's important to log successes, but in fact what you care most about is correlating request types/request parameters to metrics. Whether a request failed or succeeded is just a metric itself, but the more data you have the better understanding of the system you gain. The real challenge is that distributed systems are designed to be opaque in their complexity to the users external to the system and this often leads to them being opaque in their complexity to the developers internal to the system as well.
What you describe is pretty similar setup to my blog. Im using Jeykll with Bitbucket Pipelines, when I push it builds the site and uploads it to S3.
That controversy had two sides, both of which were happy to bring it up in the comments of only vaguely related articles (which your comment might be counted as part of).

Whereas in this case everyone agrees which side is behaving like a scumbag so there's less inherent drama.

Eric Fromm's The Art of Loving.

It's my grandmas favorite non-fiction and she's read over 1000 books. She gave it to me and it sat on my shelf for months because the title wasn't appealing and I'm not a big book reader. Since I read it, I've now bought a second version of this book and give it to friends to read.

It's a technical write-up about Love in the general sense. Fromm pitches the idea that love is an art rather than a feeling.

I highly recommend the read. This book discusses the topic in a serious and insightful way.
If you look at things over 200 years we are doing much better but I think it's more important to look at it generation by generation. For example, growing up I will have had a comfortable life - going into adulthood supposedly my generation will be the first (no idea when that data goes back to) to do worse than it's parents. So throughout my life I will become less comfortable. It seems like we've now reached a point where the poor ACTUALLY become poorer and the rich become richer,
It might have been called that way in the latin classes, but the term is Ancient Greek for "reference" (as in: "in reference of" i.e. "speaking about", etc).

In rhetoric, it is about what you said -- beginning several statements with the same sentence/opening, addressing the same issue with different arguments for rhetorical effect.
"I don't get why US judges often throw out evidence because it was not acquired according to correct procedure."

I see you've never been illegally searched. Don't worry, it will happen. If you're lucky they don't just take your things.
I feel like tracing is the biggest thing missing from the article, especially since the author takes a hard stance on logging. Tracing is one of those things that will eventually save the day for you (ops released a bad config on some load balancer you don't know about -- good luck) and if you don't approach your design with tracing in mind, it will be very hard to add it later.

I'm really surprised by no mention of the tripods trilogy by John Christopher. Only managed to gift it once. Don't think they even read it :(

Truly a phenomenal story IMO

What you're suggesting would mean we can practically forget about warrants, especially in big cases. The prosecutor just needs to find an officer ready to take a punishment and he can get his evidence in any way he can.

And what about civil cases? I'm pretty sure there would be much more illegal surveillance if the gathered data could be useful in courts.

You're questioning some basic principles of our legal systems that are here to protect us. I agree that it's sad to see how far corruption can go and it's also discouraging to see criminals walk on technicalities, but those issues should be solved differently, not by reducing the scrutiny on obtaining evidence.

See [Blackstone's formulation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstone%27s_formulation) and [Exclusionary rule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusionary_rule) for a more detailed explanation.

This is all very interesting, but has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with my point. I am saying that both web dev and nursing can be very challenging, yet while everybody of college ability could learn enough web dev to function well in a junior position (and your description definitely wasn't a junior position at any of the companies I have seen), very few have the emotional and psychological strength to work as a nurse - especially given the difference in pay.

The world knows how difficult software development is - we don't need to put down other professions (which equally difficult yet in a different way)

I agree up to a point (regards to languages). A change from C# to F# isn't small and can give you new ways to evaluate problems. Likewise with C. The constraints of the languages highlight areas you can learn and improve.

It is a classic conspiracy theory to say that most of a scientific field is a fraud from (political) ideology.

(That is, your statement presupposes most people of the field are either idiots, fanatics or crooks.)

I'd be interested if you can back that up? (With non ideological sources, of course.)

Edit: Considering the numbers, there are going to be some true conspiracy theories... and mass hypnosis from unverifiable things like psychology (Freud, Jung, etc). The burden of proof is still on the one presenting the conspiracy theories.

Edit 2: And of course, some sciences are experimental and use the scientific method. Some are largely historical (palaeontology, economics, etc). That doesn't counter my point either.
You're implying that OP's friend thinks an extra gate would require another clock cycle or something? He's just talking about propagation delay which is obviously increased with extra logic on the bus (in the multiplexor, or the register-bank-select from a decoder anded with the data lines, say.)
The Dune series by Frank Herbert is by far one of the best works of fiction ever written.

>> I'm not glad he's dead

How is the message still "he actually ia[sic] glad about his death"?
Hey, I can't express how much I can relate. Some facts:

- I'm Italian

- I'm in my 30s

- I have ~8 years of professional experience, mainly in big agencies

- I have fully experienced the pains of your country, consider also I have been independent contractor for some years (you know, clients not paying you?)

I moved to France following my girlfriend, and I'm sitting here waiting for a response to some job positions I applied for. Also I'm running out of money. I am also really thirsty when it comes to technical challenge. So well I'm the last who can give you advice, but here are some things that worked for me:

- Stop looking at Italy for jobs, instead look at Europe. I had an experience working for a company in San Francisco (ok, that's USA) and it was ages beyond the typical Italian experience. I'm pretty sure that Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona can offer great positions _and_ professional cultures. I'm actually checking europeremotely.com basically daily, but also StackOverflow jobs is pretty cool for that. I hope not being wrong about this.

- Don't stop feeding your passion. If you love coding, keep doing it. Personally, I took everything which was outside my consolidated professional competence, and put it in a box called "game development". That's my secret corner where I experiment everything I love. Like well "modeling a mafia economic system through agent based simulation". There, I practice stuff I'll probably never use professionally: C#, LUA, C++, Golang, OpenGL.

- When you evaluate new technologies which may become part of your daily work, don't stop at the tool, but look at the context around it. RUST is good for system development. Would you like a job in that area? I'm basically a PHP developer, but man how much I would like to escape from it. I'm currently learning Elixir, as it looks like the Ruby of the next decade. I bet there will be a lot around it in web area.

- I force myself to switch off the mac after 8 pm. Before, I could sit there all the day and a good part of the night. Doing something else, especially if it involves physical activity, often helps me seeing more clearly myself, my real interests, and above all works as an antidepressant.

After all of this, I'll fail and be forced to return to Italy anyway. In that case, I'll give up coding and learn doing pizzas.

This happens only with piles of Java crap (gigabytes of jars). With [mostly] functional Erlang, Common Lisp, Haskell everything is fine.
System calls are mode switch that's way faster than a context (i.e. process) switch.
The latter virtually always has cold caches.

I've made the remark because it's fairly common to mistake mode and context switches.
Many of these kind of "studies" need the author to have actually witnessed at least one or twice how a person, man,woman, children, opening a trash bag looking for food, and then they'd know how the face of a hungry human being looks like.
I think I understand what you and the Collins article are saying, but I don't agree that this denies the existence of objective knowledge. Rather, it is unconcerned with objective knowledge beyond its purview of understanding social pressures, even as it deals with scientists seeking objective knowledge.

Maybe I just don't properly understand the whole science wars thing. It seems so obvious as to be uncontroversial that science is a thing people do and can be studied as such, but this is probably an unhelpful strawman (steelman?) I've substituted for what's really being argued. Or maybe this all died out in the 00s.

This is pretty spectacular, really: a way to do bankruptcy without in any way affecting the investors and executives personally responsible. You'd almost think such a thing would be illegal. OH WAIT

Why 36%? What is this based on?

Note, by the way: there's been no evidence there was even a hack presented. No details, nothing at all. There's been a lot of PR on Reddit, that's been about it.

Regarding 'no real power', This is often said but its not true. There have been occasions the monarchy have used their power but it goes largely unreported. One such occasion is 1975 in Australia where the government was thrown out using the monarch's power. The monarch hardly uses this power but it does if things go awry.

Also the 'consuming public tax dollars' argument is incorrect. The monarchy of the UK pays net tax-in through a deal the government did with monarchy 300 years ago (in short the UK government earns a tidy profit (about £300m/y) from the management of their estate in exchange for a small stipend each year, consistently renewed every period). The monarchs of other countries also have their estates that pay for them in a similar way (don't count Spain though)

Perhaps the monarchs favour the upper class though this has changed largely for the positive over the past hundred years. I would hardly say that today it is an unfair aristocracy, though.

On the democracy argument, there have been multiple referendums to put in place a republic but they don't go through.

Although if the Broadwell parts weren't really an upgrade, then it does not matter. The old ATI part would be more annoying.

I also kind of understand why Apple didn't go with Skylake yet. Seeing all the problems with power management states in Linux and Windows land, it looks like they decided to skip this generation until that gets fixed.
This is true, you need a scale and criteria which can be used by all the reviewers. This is really what matters for the consistency of the grades.

Haha, this is arguably the article in AI.

Other landmark events in the field include the Dartmouth Conference, when John McCarthy named the field "Artificial Intelligence", defined the goals, and set out to achieve them, unfortunately it's not easy to point to a single paper on the subject, though do read the conference proposal, posted on HN recently [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12080269 ]; then you have the Lighthill report where the UK Government essentially lost interest in the project, the conclusions are debatable, but clearly and entertainingly argued, a video of the presentation of the report, with McCarthy present and responding, is available online also [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yReDbeY7ZMU&list=PLhThm05V6b...].

Finally I'd cite the 1970s era book What Computers Can't Do, and its 90s reprint, What Computers Still Can't Do as all you need to know about the current state of AI, its ultimate aims and the fatal flaws in its fundamental assumptions. The fact that it was written in the 70s and applies to today's discussions on AI should be enough to indicate its prescience.

Modern AI ignores or is unaware of many of the critiques that have gone before, only time will tell if they will soon hit the same historical obstacles.

The points I've mentioned here don't really cover the history and development of Neural Networks, but they went through a similar process of discovery, critique, near-dormant research, and finally a return to popularity, but with neglect of the critiques rather than addressing them.

Welcome to the field!
This is a variant of the Verkeerscirculatieplan [0] introduced on September 19, 1977 in Groningen, The Netherlands. This map http://www.regiocanons.nl/beeld/Groningen/Groningen/_250/Y39... [1] shows how the old center was devided in 4 sectors (Noord, Oost, Zuid and West) and car traffic was not allowed to cross sectors borders, they had to travel out back to the canal-ring (diepenring in Groningen-language ‘diep’ ~ related to english ‘deep' = canal) first. Bicycles, buses and taxis where allowed to go from one sector to another. It was introduced by the local government consisting of young politicians who took power by a sort of a Coup in the local Social Democratic party. These young guys aged 25-30 years had the vision and courage to give back the city center to pedestrians & bicycles. They reintroduced the daily markets on the central squares (tuesday, wednesday, friday and saturday) which until then where used as parking-lots. To counter objections of local shopowners against the removal of many parking places near their shops, they negotioated with the Shell Oil pensionfund to invest in a parkingbuilding a the beginning of the Haddingestraat [2] 50m from the former parkinglot on the Vismarkt. In return Shell Oil was allowed to have gas-stations on the main exit roads of Groningen.

The Groningen Verkeerscirculatieplan has been an example to many cities in the past 40 years, now including for Barcelona.

Are you suggesting evidence should be presentable to the court so long as the judge/just know it was illegally gained and the officer fired?

If so, this is to me is an absurd conclusion.
That's not really true. You can decode N-bits in one step, for example, via 2^N N-bit compares. For small N, that's totally doable.
The problem with Chromebooks is not that they do not run desktop applications. That's actually an advantage from certain point of view.

I want to be able to load the machine with certificates, VPN profiles, Wi-Fi settings, proxy settings, IdM configuration, directory info, etc independently from Google. Imagine, if Google servers ceased to exists tomorrow: the machines and all the provisioning processes must still work, as if nothing happened.

I'm not, I didn't mean to give the impression that I was. I've been to Singapore a few times though, and have eaten in the Chinatown hawker center discussed in the article several times so I thought I'd correct beachstartup's misconception of it.

It's certainly nothing like a "food court inside of a shopping mall" and the comment that it's "frequented by affluent professionals" is laughable. People from all walks of life eat in Singaporean hawker centers.

By "street food" in the western sense I assumed beachstartup was talking about mobile hot dog / kebab stands you can find in the US, or similar (but more often stationary) stands you can find on the street in many European cities.

I don't remember any of that in Singapore, although I wouldn't be surprised if it exists. Instead the demand for street food is satisfied by hawker centers.

Why discipline the officer? The officer is just a cog in a political machine. The people who exist at the top of that machine take almost all profits from the high-status victory. And after that officer has been penalized, the DA, mayor, police chief, whatever, are going to be the faces that removed a rich villain in a popular way.

Also, the officer who violates will be penalized, and after they fall out of public awareness, they will be brought back for their fine contribution to somebody's political resume.

I think there is a simple answer for this: Apple is busy doing other stuff (probably figuring out the next market to dive into) and isn't caring that much about 15" rMBP which after all still sells good.
