That is to identify dissenters so that they can be eliminated before they create some damage in the news. Not to solve any of their problems.

Whistle blowing never works. Its a mechanism to identify dissenters and eliminate them.
Lessons in Small Scale Manufacturing from the Othermill Shop Floor
It wasn't clear from the article why anyone would want this. An example for the other side might be something like this: Suppose your state passes a law requiring C compilers used for civil engineering software be compliant with the C standard. The law now refers to a standard that you have to pay 198 Swiss Francs[1] to access.

Engineers publish all sorts of requirements and technical information, and it seems useful for the law to be able to refer to them.

A lot of the problem is that it's programmed the same way that something like Strictly Come Dancing (Dancing With the Stars) is - the focus is on the "ooooooh" factor far more than it is on getting people to understand what they're watching.

With the best will in the world, most people seeing any sport in the olympics probably aren't actually following that sport. As a result, trying to get people up to speed so they can understand why the judging scores are what they are, at the same time as they're trying to watch the action, is never going to work. This is only further hampered in something like gymnastics, where the scoring is incredibly detailed and complex, and the time someone's doing something is so short.

Whilst I wish people were more informed about what they're looking at, I get the impression most people don't really care that much, and just want to look at what olympians do and be astounded at it.

And there's nothing wrong with that.
> It was decided, I was going to take this photo. However, I was not going to take my time taking the photo.

> The Port Authority's policy is not law. This is a public place, and I can photograph whatever I want.

The rebelliousness seems a little hollow in the light of admission of being cowed. Of course, I'dve had similar thinking.

Is this a known thing, that the Port Authority doesn't want this building photographed? I am unfamiliar with the situation.
You can say the same thing for GCC too, it's just that both of the pools (merged into trunk and not) are much larger.

Yes, the json utility can process a JSON file into key:value pairs. Now ask yourself: if you end up with key:value pairs on stdout, why couldn't that have been the format in the first place? Why artificially impose not one, but two layers of complications (one as JSON, the other as the specialized json tool to process JSON)? Why not just keep it simple and go directly to a flat file ASCII format to begin with?

The fact that I'm compensated means I am not a volunteer. In fact, I'm an elected official. It isn't my full-time job, but that's irrelevant.

The state pays me to assist with the operations of the taxpayer-purchased-and-funded voting machines for the purpose of executing both the Democrat and Republican primary elections (and no other primary elections) on PA primary day. I don't know how that can be not "state-funded."

Hah. To be fair, I also don't want to take phone with me to be distracted by it. Running is exactly the time to undistract myself. :)
Are you claiming that running requires no more energy than sitting? If not, what are you trying to say?

The energy that you need to spend on overhead doesn't go down because you start running.

Except that if the police decide to take you down to the station, inspect your memory card, and shake you down a bit.. then even if they let you go.. you lost an entire day for what gain? Do you think protesting against the security guard and him seeing you dragged off by cops is going to change the policy or his attitude in the future?

The only way to "change" anything would be to follow up with a lawsuit if they harass you and get the port authority docked some money. Anything short of that and "you lose". Not sure it is worth everyone's time to follow through with a lawsuit.

Old farts like me will remember Carl Sagan's seminal TV series "Cosmos", wherein he waxes lyrical about how disastrous to human progress was the loss of the Library of Alexandria and the scientific and academic culture that it represented. And indeed there's an animated sequence showing a spacecraft with a dodecahedron emblem and Greek text, the idea being that had that culture survived and flourished it would have reached space centuries ago.
Somewhere in the OK to mediocre range. On the plus side a 40 hour work week was typical. On the minus side being on call may be a major hassle and increase your work hours significantly and affect your ability to make plans on weekends or evenings depending on your team make up and the stability of your code base, etc. Also on the minus side: you don't get a lot of vacation time, there are periods of "crunch" when you'll be expected to work a bit more, and those periods can often be during traditional holiday times (thanksgiving, christmas, etc.)
Perhaps a better title would be "Why It Doesn't Pay to Hide Your Emotions".

Anyway, I'm hearing the whole stance of "everything is good, I'm so happy" is a cultural thing, very common in the US but not so in the rest of the world (Europe especially). I wonder to what extent this is true and how does it affect people's well being.
Yes, you're right. I suppose it is a very comfortable position to be in and we should envy him.

Sports coverage in The Netherlands is mostly drama free and during the olympics the commentators take their time to explain things. If foreigners would watch they probably would think we have the most boring sports channels of the world.

The olympic games are also covered without commercials. Maybe NBC is spicing things up to make sure people don't go away during commercials?
The USPS have a hard enough time maintaining a conventional address database.

My understanding is that addresses in the US are usually derived from the municipal authority and by the time those trickle out to the various consumers (counties, states, feds, USPS, Census, and commercial consumers) it's a mess. There are many initiatives underway to clean this up (usually in the context of E-911 and putting a single point on every discrete unit in a building) but it's a massive task.

Every City has it's own standard (often the whim of whoever has the authority) and there are situations that will make you tear your hair out - the official address being 1000 Some Road but it's a multi family place so the building address is 1020 Some Road, or confusion over whether its 1000 W Some Road or 1000 Some Road W. My personal favourite was the guy who convinced USPS that his address was 1 Unicorn Road (changed for privacy) rather than XXXX Long Avenue. The City ended up making an exception for him. Then there are address like 10 1/2 12 1/2 Avenue.

And don't even get me started on how USPS often use a different City (my understanding is that this dates back to when the US was surveyed and the postal system was established. If your City didn't exist at this time then there is a good chance your USPS address is really the nearest large city).

Geocoding solves the issue if you don't care about spatial accuracy but even that has issues.
Is this even mildly related to Hacker News?
This is one of those situations where one's gut reaction to always respond to others is misplaced. This is NYC. I've only spent a few months there, but I saw my share of crazy people yelling at others. That is all this is. Someone who has no authority over you is yelling that some 3rd party wouldn't like what you are doing, even though what you are doing is legal, and you are not on their private property... so treat it like you would any other time you get yelled at by a stranger in NYC. Just ignore them and carry on.

I think all the events need better coverage. I've seen more footage of Ryan Seacrest drinking caipirinhas than that of the sports I'd enjoy watching.

Is it too much to ask in 2016 for a single web page that lets me filter down to each event and see all the heats leading up to the final? Or how about a single page with all the events happening live so I can put the one I actually want to watch?
As long as you're on public property you can take almost any photo --some exceptions exist for military installations, research facilities, etc. Private property owners can and do have the right to deny you the ability to take pictures from their land --so, as long as you are on public land (i.e. no restrictions to the public) you should be ok, in the US. Other countries can have different laws.
This seems hyperbolic. It sounds like the ABA was debating a measure that would encourage Congress to allow private companies to get copies of and resell access to the highly-specialized sections of the Federal Register. So, from the start, this is a good thing, because right now these are only accessible by making an appointment with the Federal Register Reading Room and paying them a sum of money.

The "DRM and EULA" part just means that the ABA seems OK with allowing private companies to be the distributors of this based on their own terms, instead of advocating a government-run open access site that would allow anyone to look up the relevant safety regulations.

So, no, the ABA did not vote to obscure the law, or invoke DRM or EULAs. They voted to make the Federal Register more accessible than it currently is. BoingBoing is simply unhappy that the resolution didn't go as far as they would've liked.
I'm having a science-fiction-in-real-life​ moment here where I’m imagining a person’s public persona being managed, with or without their consent, by an AI designed to determine whether their public posts/comments are authentic or not. We live in weird times and they’re getting weirder.
I was watching the Irish (rte sport) coverage of the Men's team, and it was amazing to see the pacing. I saw a bunch of routines, some warmups, some taping and untaping or wrists, Shots of the teams on the sidelines and processing to the next apparatus, occasional commercial breaks.

And the Irish weren't in the competition. So, no opportunity for extra rah rah nationalism.

There is no way to screen for memtal illnesses on the Internet not all are detected like mine.

When people and companies think of disabilities they imagine someone in a wheelchair, blind, deaf, ect not someone with a mental illness.

This made me curious, as it didn't match my recollection. Checking the medal counts, it's apparent that the USA women's gymnastics team has been very competitive for roughly 30 years now. It's fair to wonder why the coverage isn't better by now.

I'm not really trying to give either party, or in this case the DNC the benefit of the doubt. I don't have any reservations about either party being particularly democratic (as in the party elites have most of the power).

I'm just not naive about how they work but ultimately I believe they can run however they want to.

If we want to reform the system that we have (two part) it's clearly not going to come from the parties. I'm personally in favor of having open primaries in every state with relatively late voter registration, getting rid of the electoral collage and the rule that if there's mo majority the senate decides the election.
I'm not sure this is accurate. In fact, conventional wisdom says that Assange is pursuing this as revenge against HRC, who has historically been a major opponent of his. If he isn't pursuing revenge against her, then why isn't he going after the RNC?
How to Build an Effective Adwords Campaign in 11 Steps
"The Port Authority" is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Authority_of_New_York_and...

(There are, of course, many port authorities all over the world. This one is a big deal.)
I don't think it's a well-known thing, but their other properties, like the George Washington Bridge show "no photographs" signs. I make sure to take a cell-phone photo every time I ride my bike up there.

They prohibit photographs on their transit system: http://www.panynj.gov/path/pdf/PATH-Rules-Regulations-12-20-...

The consensus I get from doing some research is that they are overreaching. Anyone can make any policy they want. Anyone can approach anyone else in public and ask them to do whatever they want. Whether or not there is any force of law behind those policies or questions is up to the courts to decide.

A few years ago, someone was going to sue the MTA for their photography policy. Apparently there is a law on the books regarding suing public-benefit corporations (of which the MTA and Port Authority are); if they agree to settle with you, and you choose not to accept the settlement, you are personally liable for their legal fees if the court awards you a settlement that's less than their legal fees. So of course, these policies can't be changed, as an individual can't out-resource the government.

I don't know if it's true or not. I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a professional photographer. I'm just a guy who tries to visit the park with a few pieces of film every now and again.

One factor that has not been noted by others is that a common route for mid-tier athletes who actually reside in some of the bigger countries to get to the Olympics is to have parents from a small country. As long as you make the qualification limit for the sport and can find a hook to compete for some other country then you get in. You will most likely perform at the same mid-tier level you did before the Olympics, but you get to hang out in the village and have a fun week or two. When you see some athlete competing for a country that you might have a hard time finding on a map just do a quick check to see which US or European university that athlete attends and competes at -- performance that is good enough to make a university squad is often sufficient to get past the qualification bar at the Olympics.

Yet supposedly "ignorance of the law excuses not"
I interviewed there a year or so ago. One of the guys in the 90000000 different in person interview sessions was extremely frank with me. He saw that I enjoyed working on open-source projects in my free time, and felt that there were some relevant Amazon policies (which I won't get in to) the he wished he had known about before he went to work there.

Anyway, this guy was frank enough with me about that stuff, that I actually believe him when he said that all those bad articles about amazon's culture (which had just come out weeks prior at that point) were probably accurate for some parts of the company, but he had never encountered it.

I didn't end up getting an offer from them ( I wouldn't have hired me based on the tech interviews either. Every single applied programming problem was some form a tree traversal, which I don't use regularly anymore) and was a little relieved that I wouldn't end up working there.

If that's an accurate assessment, I can't say I'm surprised boingboing editorialized (or perhaps more appropriately, propagandized) it in this way. I get it, DRM is bad. Please stop casting other, unrelated events in this light to get people worked up about them. If they are worthy causes, they deserve an accurate explanation, not to be twisted through wording in the hopes of transferring feelings from other topics to this. I was a daily reader of boingboing long in the past, but it's stuff like this that turned me away.

First off, does the x86 solaris binary for SBCL work? You can bootstrap off that if it does.

One of them didn't work for either i86pc (that's what we call the x86 and x86_64 platform on Solaris) or sparc, and my requirement is that it has to build and run on both exactly the same, as 50% of my server park is UltraSPARC, and 50% various forms of intel-based processors. But I'd have to look at that again. Something didn't work, or else I would be running SBCL by now.

While Guile uses ELF, it uses it as its bytecode format, and while native compilation is planned, we probably won't get it for a good few years. Chibi is bytecode, and will probably stay that way, although it has a decent FFI.

Now see, that is a severe step back for me: I had bytecode back in 1984, except then the "virtual machine" was called "Commodore BASIC", and "bytecode" was known as tokens, which is what they really are when you learn about AST parsers and trees in computer science at the university. So when I see "bytecode", that's a throwback. And a very bad, bad throwback, masked with pure brute force in terms of massive amounts of memory and processing power. It was a very bad and inefficient, slow solution then, and even with all this processing power and memory, it's a very bad and inefficient, slow solution now. I have never, and will never tolerate that. No amount of programming pleasantness and syntactical sugar will change that.

The way forward is clear to me now: ANSI Common LISP.

That particular employee's mentality is one of the worst outcomes of the disaster that was and continues to be the 9/11 attack - the constant paranoia that's more suited to East Germany or the former Soviet Union.

For three, if enough people object and stand up for their rights, these pointless, bullshit harassment tactics might actually stop.
