As others have said here, if you're scraping then you're definitely in violation of pretty much every service's TOS, not just their developer one.
I think the idea is that the jobs the government entity does are government-demanded jobs, and that private entities won't be given a chance to bid on them; they'll be reserved to the government and the pool of people it keeps out of regular work by reserving work for the command segment of the economy.
> What that cop did was straight up terrorism

'Terrorism' is thrown around too loosely.

There was no ideologically motivated act of violence.

This is an incompetent officer who should be arrested and face charges for his criminal negligence, assuming the FB report is accurate and complete.
My team ditched the standups, and now we just post our stuff in a slack channel:
- What we're working on (jira ticket numbers, titles)
- Yesterday's unplanned work
- Blockers

It's wonderful. I worked on teams with standups for years, and they were utterly mind-numbing and worthless unless you're collaborating with someone, in which case they're just redundant.
I've had a pretty good experience with Lyft Line tbh.

The fare is based on the destination, so I don't get charged extra if the driver takes a longer route, or if the ride takes longer due to traffic, or if there aren't other passengers available to carpool.

The fare is also pretty reasonable - lyft line for 2 people comes out about the same as the Muni, so it's pretty much replaced Muni for me.

They also recently added the option of entering more than 1 destination, which is pretty handy when you're dropping someone off on the way home.

PS: I'm not affiliated with Lyft, just a satisfied customer.
Or that the cop involved will never face any consequences? At all?

Freddie Gray showed up with a fucking SEVERED SPINE and it was apparently an act of god, just like the virgin birth, because none of the cops were responsible.

Hell, they can murder Eric Garner on video and walk.

Or shoot a man by "accident", watch him die, and nothing happens. Oh noes, probation! That'll learn 'em!
> maybe this type of stop is a trade off you have to make for the 2nd amendment.

In Australia, we don't have anything like the 2nd amendment, and stuff like this simply doesn't happen (even to black people).

Just sayin'
I made it VERY clear this officer seems to be out of line. My comment was more on officers in general being extremely cautious in the US .
>Linux on the desktop is a somewhat pointless goal, and the community would benefit from embracing that fact.

given the way a lot of typical consumers use desktops/laptops - web browsing, skype, plus may be some business software, i.e. almost tablet use case, they would actually wouldn't even notice if their windows were replaced by a nice looking Linux with good power management and printing and in general working without a glitch. That one - working without a glitch is the main threshold it has to jump over.
I went around Asia for a year as a digital nomad. It was fun for awhile, but quickly became tiresome. It's great to have a home/apartment you can call your own and Internet is sketchy in many parts of the world.

Most of the people you come in contact with will not be conducive to getting any kind of work done or anything that takes discipline. If you aren't careful, you will get sucked into this lifestyle and it will become very difficult to achieve any of your goals.
Two issues with that, the atomic modesetting regressions are in the DRM part. Also, I've tried the generic modesetting X11 drivers, and that one's very bad, does heavy tearing and is unusable on my machines. The best setup right now is to use the intel ddx with TearFree enabled plus vsync forced with compton. If you don't enable TearFree plus vsync via glx via a compositor, there will be heavy tearing.

New issues since Arch Linux's update to Mesa 12 are some weird drawing bugs that surface as flickering of the content for a few cycles (redraws) a couple times during the day. It's not screen flickering. The content is sometimes displayed partially and then, say, you type something, content flicker on each event for a few redraw cycles until it cures itself. If I had to guess, I'd guess something in mesa 12 and/or current X11 intel stack is very buggy.

How bad is this with the binary nvidia drivers? I couldn't use Wayland with that, but if there's zero tearing with nvidia, there's less incentive to use Wayland anyway.
> It's effectively saying that intellectuals are worthless because sometimes they're wrong and/or out of touch.

Oh, hell no. I've seen that side of the story, too, and it's completely wrong. We agree on that.

> In reality, if you round up all the intellectuals and kill them - something last tried by Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot - you don't generally get an improvement in the quality of life of ordinary people.

I lived under communist dictatorship for 20 years, and I have first hand experience with the results of those policies. Had to work my way through those mentalities, at times. To say you're not telling me anything new would be an understatement.

I've also participated to the 1989 anti-communist revolutions, and I've seen anti-intellectualism rearing its ugly head again - thankfully without dire consequences.

So the extremes are bad, as they always are.

But I don't think the article implies that intellectuals are worthless. The way I read it, perhaps biased by my own life track, is that intelligence and scholarly education are greatly enhanced by a broad range of experience. No matter how smart or polished you are, you'll judge the simple folk in a different way if you walk in their shoes for a while.
That's not a precisely accurate translation, as there are plenty of social benefit programs that are not means tested beyond perhaps treating some of the benefit as normal income (e.g., Social Security), and my post was not making the "most social benefit programs" claim, only comparing UBI to those programs which are means tested (and which therefore are obvious candidates to replace with a UBI, given the usual arguments for UBI.)
I wouldn't expect much here. I don't see a lucrative early-adopter market. The wealthy and privileged are already mostly exempt from police states; their biggest victims are those with the least money and power. There also isn't a big, obvious revenue stream to divert, as with most startup disruption.

The one bright spot here I see is Twitter (and the parts of Facebook that are most Twitter-like). Turning everbody into a micropublisher and microeditor has helped make police abuse much more visible.
> No, not America.

Yes its America.

In other countries, there would be a real chance of professional consequences for drawing a weapon on an unarmed person who is cooperating with instructions.

This cop will suffer not at all.
> - Not having my stuff. No extra electronic equipment, tools, furniture, etc. When you are traveling a lot you need to be a minimalist which means no collection of books, soldering irons, etc. Which is fun for a few months but the 3rd time you have to repair the plumbing in your rental in Chile you wish you had all those tools you collected in the US :P

I've always wondered about that when people talk about "leaving it all behind". Parts of "it all" include the box of thumbtacks I bought when I was 17 and carted around til I was 26 and finally finished off the box, or the power drill my brother gave me, which I use frequently to improve my living space with hooks and shelving. Tools give me a sense of independence and control over my world, and I'm not sure the autonomy of being able to pick up and move every day replaces that.
One would expect that Microsoft can fix this problem, especially now that Windows 7 Skylake support is extended for several years.
I've worked with Biobankers/Bioinformaticians on this type of problem before and none of them wanted us to got the Differential Privacy route. Why? The vast majority of genomic diseases are rare diseases (with 10s-1000s of carriers). Destroying information is not an option with small sample sizes. For huge GWAS studies, it could be an option. But in the general case, security is preferable over privacy when a choice needs to be made.
Thoughts on the End of the Headphone Jack and the Future of Digital Music
I had the same issue when I moved. My solution was to buy a cheap bench, a set of adjustable dumbbells, and a doorframe pullup bar. You can accomplish most of the same things as SS by doing the dumbbell equivalents of the exercises. Legs are the main issue, but you can do Goblet Squats, Bulgarian Splits, and Reverse Lunges. They're not quite as good as the barbell versions, but you don't need a spotter, and you're doing it at home. You put on workout clothes when you wake up, spend 25 minutes working out, shower, and go to work. It takes away all of the friction. I wound up actually working out 3x as often and spending less total time at it.
I do occasionally, I can't say I noticed it – but that's probably because I spend 99% of my time in a terminal.
We are using it at my current place of work with https://github.com/jdorn/json-editor to generate simple administrative UIs for backing configurations for non-technical users.

It's not a fantastic UX but it works and it's fast to develop.

The docs are sparse but for my money the format is relatively intuitive. I'd prefer to be using XML/XSL/XSLT as they are FAR more powerful, but that's just what you get with JSON.
It's pretty much single player, so other people have very little effect on new players.

I think the mixed reviews are largely down to the fact that it's a pretty niche indie game which for some reason got AAA marketing from Sony. I fit into the niche very well and have found it immensely engaging, but I'm not surprised that it's not for everyone.
Yeah I agree with that. People are by and large a product of their environment and police officers spend a large part of their day around garbage people, however I don't believe that forgives behavior like this.
Three points on the edge is better because it forces the developer to actually think about what he's doing.
Ture, but as I said they could make it look different and explain it differently.

It just sort of feels like people come up with cool new ideas for worlds for games, and then slap a gun/FPS interface on it because it's well understood and some sort of default.

They put so much thought into making No Man's Sky.... except using a weapon as the main interface.
It just sucks that the HN mods think it's fine for dishonest ideological warriors like Jerf to casually conflate modern academia and Stalin, just because he did so without using profanity.

It's such an intense and personal attack; and it's so wildly dishonest... It completely eliminates all possibility of a useful conversation in a single sentence. It's poo.
Sends the CIA your resume and tell them you want to suck nigger cock while getting anally probed.

That's what happened the last three jobs I had -- sent my resume to the CIA and they anally probed me. Lots of fun.
I have been scrum master and even if you cut them off it's still disruptive. You need to listen for a while to see if anything relevant is transmitted or not. So you end up with the pattern "1 minute irrelevant blabla/ Let's take this offline". It's still annoying to other participants and destroys the rhythm of the meeting.
He says that he rolled down his window, and the cop approached from the passenger side and demanded he roll down the rear passenger side window.
This SERIOUSLY pisses me off! You've never lived until you've had a loaded gun pointed at you and a POS cop yelling lies at you. I hope that officer gets nailed to a cross.
I'm sorry, this is ridiculous. Knocking on the rear-window with a pistol (and pointing it at a little girl!) isn't taking a reasonable precaution against potential aggression, it's plain provocation.
Yes, this makes total sense. I think I completely misunderstood you post earlier. Thanks for the clarification.
Who said that you could?
The main problem (and the reason I mostly stopped) was diet.

I don't like ethnic food and it was ridiculously expensive and time consuming to eat at Western restaurants 3-4x a day (rarely had access to a kitchen). Ended up clinically underweight and moved back home.

> This is not true. There are mature, stable and unlike linux attempts

The comment above was about Docker specifically. I challenge you to run Docker on anything else than Linux (in production, that is).

> You can of course continue to use ill designed software, such as docker

Yeah, you don't use Docker because it's well designed (or even reliable). You use it because it is the strongest industry wide attempt at a standard there has been for the past ten years. There is a semi-standardized image format and api.

When the time comes to move all software to The Cloud, and some believe that to be inevitable (which you may not agree with), odds are that Docker is one of the accepted formats your provider understands.

Jails or zones has nothing to do with this. They are an implementation detail. I find it likely that the cloud will still run on Linux ten years from now.
At the end of SGI's first life, PC hardware was running rings around Irix workstations. The O2 was basically the slowest machine you could buy at the time. Where I was working at the time we switched our PRO/Engineer machines from SGI to whitebox PCs as soon as PTC ported to Windows NT. A dual-CPU Pentium Pro with Fire GL Pro absolutely smoked the O2 and Indy machines it replaced. So that was my experience, a shop that bought SGIs as long as they were the best platform for a particular software package, and threw them out at the earliest opportunity.

It depends on the person. It's been well worth more than the price of admission to me but I understand that it might not be to other people. It's a game for a somewhat niche audience that is hugely under-served. For people stuck in that niche it's a godsend and now that I've played it I would gladly have paid more than $60.
Why getters/setters is a bad idea in JavaScript
> If the other system disappeared forever, and there were no timeout, that socket would be held open forever.

There is actually a more "gracefully degrading" solution, to keep those connections around potentially indefinitely or with a very long timeout, but to recycle them if the memory is needed for new connections. Seems like Linux supports this for TIME-WAIT but is not enabled by default (sys.net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle).

Actually lwIP does such recycling and it can even kill active connections - if there's no memory for a new connection it will try to kill connections in order: TIME-WAIT, LAST-ACK, CLOSING, active connections (incl. FIN-WAIT-2).
A thought experiment: Assume a near-future world where automation can provide a decent standard of living for everyone. Further assume there is a part of the population that just slacks off. Would you be in favor of some sort of punishment to make those folks conform to your standard of not wasting their lives?
> Even if we don't have free will, it's better to pretend we do. There is a difference between a driver that falls asleep at the wheel and causes an accident and a driver that flies into a rage and crashes their car into another driver. It's hard to justify the distinction if neither driver has a choice. I'd argue it's better for society to maintain that distinction.

The distinction still matters without free will, because it's still a predictor of future behavior. A driver who crashes because of a preventable cause shouldn't be allowed to drive until the problem is resolved. If the problem is falling asleep, the solution may be simple (get more sleep?) or hard (narcolepsy), while anger issues are probably pretty difficult to provably solve.

Belief in free will has some seriously harmful effects on the way we deal with these situations. Most notably, it's the basis for a focus on punishment rather than rehabilitation. Deterrents don't work, largely because they don't fix the causes for bad behavior. Rehabilitation is the only sensible approach if you don't believe in free will, whereas punishment makes a bit more sense if you believe that people have free will.

> Perhaps someone can reframe that in terms of types of error, and people prone to more serious types of error (road rage) face different consequences. But that gets real complicated real quick.

This is fundamentally a free-will-based way of seeing the problem. "Consequences" are completely irrelevant in a deterministic worldview unless you can prove that they act as a deterrent (that is, that they are part of the cause). Since consequences are provably not significant deterrents for many crimes, I don't think that works.

Your argument basically that "this idea of punishment/consequences (which only makes sense in a free-will-based ideology) doesn't work in a deterministic ideology, and punishment/consequences are good in my free-will-based ideology, therefore deterministic ideologies are wrong". But you have to hold a free-will-based ideology for the preconditions of your argument to make sense.
Yeah, I understand that the concept of process isolation has existed for a long time. We used to know them as "chroot jails". cgroups obviously is a feature that has been dormant in the Linux kernel for a long time (until Docker came along and convinced everyone they had to use them, which actually isn't really a point in favor of containerization either: "we depend on this lightly tested feature of the kernel!"). Those things on their own are substantially different from what are today known as containers, a mix of concepts that involves custom daemons, complex network routing layers, bolt-on orchestration components like Swarm/Kube, and all sorts of other voodoo that makes today's understanding of "containers" distinct from historical uses either of the term or the concepts implemented via jails/zones/whatever.
I am just thinking that if I wanted lots of people's secret plans or ideas, I would totally set up a cloud service such as this, because then people who bought my marketing page would totally just... upload their secrets, right to my server.

Or, in friendlier terms: You probably should have more on your front page that indicates why you should be trusted with this information. What kind of liability do you have?

Speaking of trust, I find this horrifically questionable:

...yes? I'm not sure exactly what you're asking here, though.
I get that 'point and shoot', as an interface, works very well. I have no qualms with that. But why does it look like a gun that destroys things? They could make it seem more like a Tricorder from Star Trek (that doesn't emit a laser beam that blows things up) and it would make a big tonal difference.

I'm amazed at what they accomplished. My issue here is more of a graphic choice. Why does the thing you use to kill and animal to defend yourself look exactly like the thing you use to harvest plants for resources look exactly like the thing you use to destroy terrain?

It feels almost like it was just assumed and no one ever thought about it.
One thing I've come to love about it is that it's engrossing. I'd like my exercise to be something that gets my mind off of work and other responsibilities, and activities like running do the opposite for me. Rock climbing absorbs your attention and helps you forget about everything else for a while.
I am unable to read articles about fMRI results without thinking of this:

That's where I ended up. Regulated industries value experience more than let's say startups. And they have a lot of people who are stuck in a rut so you can quickly stand out as the innovative one.
First line of my comment: "It sounds like this officer was out of line.". I thought it was clear my comment was about stops in general, not this specific one.
note that i indicated plural. windows. that's the thing he missed. they want to have a clear non-glass-obstructed view into the vehicle from both sides, especially at night.

and they will always approach on the passenger side if there's a lot of traffic.

'the protocol' is tricky. even i forget things sometimes, and need to be told by the cop. but i usually get enough of it right that they don't yell at me. it's hard when you're new at this and the adrenaline is pumping when you see the blue and red lights. he probably left his engine running too. not good.

somewhat un-intuitively, if you nail it perfectly (meaning you've clearly learned this through many pullovers), they tend to be more lenient. this is my own personal experience from being pulled over multiple times per year for 17 years of driving.
I personally would not roll the windows all the way down, just low enough to hand them ID and to hear and be heard clearly, and I would make sure the doors are locked. The Sandra Bland footage taught me this. https://youtu.be/jpSEemvwOn4?t=2m14s
As someone who lives in Arizona I find the officer's behavior really unusually extreme. Concealed carrying people and permit holders get pulled over all the time and it's usually not a big deal.

Rather, this seems to be an example of self-priming for some kind of worst case scenario, which I think is entirely unrelated to 2nd amendment. It's the assumption that, since something's awry, the worst case must be the immediate case, or even some sort of echo of PTSD and war mentality, or misguided ideas along the lines that keeping himself absolutely "safe" is somehow the same as keeping everyone else "safe."
I'll punt as to the accuracy of your "moralizing America" sneer, but remember that Disney chose their mascot--not the American public.

Additionally, my understanding is that Donald Duck had at least a few American fans. Though their numbers are probably limited to the few Americans who enjoy Looney Tunes, Homer Simpson, and the stereotypical sitcom dad (among other characters).
I'd love to hear more about this. You should write up your experiences!
For me, it was finding a purpose to exercise.

Initially, it was _weight control_ (I ended up dropping 30+ lbs. This process was not just exercise - it had to be paired with proper diet (otherwise, you don't see any lasting results or you end up flattening out in your weight loss graph).

After I got to my target weight, it started getting kind of boring. But then, the thing that really did it for me, was getting into surfing. I love surfing, and do it multiple times every week. This is not exercise - it is just pure fun. However, you end up getting tired after paddling for sometime. The purpose of the gym changed for me. It was about improving my surfing. Squads, cardio, push-ups, lifting weights become just a way for me to improve my pop-ups, paddling endurance, etc.

As a nice side-effect, I sleep better than ever before. Would definitely recommend it :)
I've been taken aback by the amount of vitriol spewing forth from the internet in regards to No Man's Sky these past few days. I get that it's not for everyone, but it's been a little overwhelming to have so many people going out of their way to tell everyone how bad the game is because it doesn't pander to what they want it to be.
If you switched the tool you have to look like something than a laser gun, the effect to not look like a loser beam, and changed the documentation to refer to it that way (I honestly don't know what the game calls it) how much more would that cost for a AAA title?

A few thousand? Twenty thousand with all the languages? How many millions did the game take?

It would never triple the price of the game.
