Government-mandated solutions can take many forms, some of which are less intrusive and/or more reasonable than others.

For example, if you live in the US, you are legally required by the government to drive on the right side of the road (to avoid the chaos of the past, when each US city and state had different driving rules), and you are also legally required to buy car insurance (to make sure irresponsible drivers who cause more accidents don't get a free ride from responsible drivers). I think most people would agree these are reasonable government solutions that are not too intrusive.

Perhaps it might be possible to come up with reasonable "rules of the road" that are not too intrusive and which the government can enforce so all of us -- all of society -- can easily share data between applications and platforms?

The Law of Jante is the description of a pattern of group behaviour towards individuals within Scandinavian communities that negatively portrays and criticises individual success and achievement as unworthy and inappropriate. The Jante Law as a concept was created by the Dano-Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose who, in his novel A Fugitive Crosses His Tracks (En flyktning krysser sitt spor, 1933, English translation published in the USA in 1936), identified the Law of Jante as ten rules. Sandemose's novel portrays the small Danish town Jante (modelled upon his native town Nykøbing Mors as it was at the beginning of the 20th century, but typical of all small towns and communities), where nobody is anonymous.

I do not think about it in relation to recruiting at all, in a much broader perspective.

With regards to what I consider to be private information, I just do not think it is the job of the government to publish it.

(I am Scandinavian as well, by the way, although I have chosen to leave - excessive taxation being one on a list of reasons).
Oh totally agree that the video isn't enough to find anyone guilty (it doesn't pass "reasonable doubt"). But the question here was whether it even deserved a trial. And they argued the video was conclusive enough that a trial wasn't warranted. And that I'm less comfortable with, personally.
One thing that frustrates me significantly about accessibility and assistive technology (specifically for the web at least) is the lack of consistency implementing standards. It's much more insidious than most other standards inconsistencies because rather than your page looking slightly off in one browser, you can have your site reading perfectly on two of the major screen readers and the third refuses to read it.

It's a massive waste of resources to find the right combination of tech that ends up magically working for all three. The running joke at my workplace is "fix JAWS, break VoiceOver; fix VoiceOver, break NVDA" etc. And yet it's not the kind of thing you want to let go because not many people will have the chance to switch to another device/reader to see if the site works there. Nor should they have to.
Wow that was mesmerizing. I'm surprised that all of the traces were drawn manually. I had always assumed that modern design software would do all of that tedious stuff for you.

The creator of that video was answering questions on reddit, and amazingly the whole design and build process took less than a week.

Totally agree, I have heard demographers say that basically millennial's are a bigger group than the baby boomers and will have as big if not bigger economic impact. Yes they have delayed families and home ownership but this is because of financial hardship related to the great recession. But make no mistake, these people will have families and will buy houses and cars and couches an all that. I recall the good ole hippie generation was going to be living in communes and sharing free love and all that crap. What did they end up doing again? Oh yeah, they eventually had to get jobs, got married, had kids, moved out of the city etc.
I fail to see what you're saying. Are you saying that because a simple neural network could behave the same, such behaviour can't thus be evidence of inner speech?

I agree with you, but it often leads to people with a clue getting repeatedly ignored by those without a clue. Which then leads to people feeling ignored/undervalued, particularly after the things they're ignored about go awry.

Ask HN: SaaS Stack advice for non web-dev
Please excuse that this is a fairly common question, I have been through all the threads I could find on this topic but none touched upon these specifics. I have many years experience working with low-level languages, so this is a bit of a maze!

If anyone with significant experience in this area is interested, I would be happy to pay for an hour of Skype consultation.

I am at the early stages of building a SaaS that has a few properties.

1. Very large SQL database on the backend
2. Database updated from numerous sources daily
3. Expensive computations performed on the data, server-side
4. Relatively complex visualisation of the results

My preference would be to use as few languages/frameworks as possible, but I am fearful of introducing serious technical debt due to choices like these made early on. So my questions.

1. What stack that has the fewest moving parts might be suitable?

2. Is it possible to have a 'shallow' stack that covers back to front-end (except the JS bit)

3. Would Python with Django be suitable for my requirements above? My concern lays with the ORM, which may have performance issues with the amount of data.

4. Does using the ORM result in significant duplication of efforts? SQL tables are complex and have already been defined.

5. If I was to use Python/Django, could I bypass the ORM in order to utilise the useful Django features?

Many thanks for any help with this. I have done a huge amount of work on the database, but have spent the last 5 days absolutely bewildered by the choices available.
Ok well I'm not going to read like 500 links posted with no context.

The first one doesn't say anything about harm that I can see from my skimming, and the second one is the government paying the phone companies directly, which is concerning but it has nothing to do with tracking cookies or combining data sets. That's as far down as I went.
Check the "making memories" infographic midway down the article. One part is that they transcribe the data four times, another is that they only use three of four bases at a certain point. There's probably more checksums though.
That doesn't change critique of Foreign Policy mag, it's not their theory, they're just reporting a somewhat interesting discussion happening in another country, the Economist does this all the time.
I dont't see why people would want to use FLAC. The file sizes are huge and the audio quality difference is bearly noticeable compared to an encoding like .aac

Even if you can make it work, DNA stability is poor.

The device he is targeting is a very tiny integrated GPU, with only as much bandwidth as the CPU. When people move work to GPUs, they typically buy something at least an order of magnitude beefier to run it on. The current top of the line GPU you can buy has >20x the bandwidth and >80x the FP throughput as his machine.
You definitely see those "brogrammer" companies where the only women is a den mother. Lots of them on the West Coast pushing 50 head, tiny ones (10 head) hidden away in second-tier or third-tier cities close the the East Coast.

More typical corporate places in say NYC or Rochester you definitely see women and blacks who excel technically or in management. I am sure there is segregation, bias, misunderstandings and all sorts of trouble, but the ordinary corporate world beats the brogrammers on diversity.
This thread comes at a funny time. I just saw my cousin and roommate come back from surgery. He had the same surgery before in one eye, now he's impaired the other as well. Now it's just waiting and hoping for recovery.

The thing he wants to do the most, in his current blinds state, is not rely on other people. Accessibility allows him to be that independent, empowered person. Thank you to everyone who furthers that cause.
Yeah, I don't get it either. FWIW, and why I'm commenting, "promiscuity" with regards to computer communications isn't even new with Crockford. It's the exact correct term used in the industry to refer to a mode you can put network cards into if you want to inspect all traffic that reaches it, rather than just traffic indented for your workstation [0]. It goes back at least to the early 1990s when I first encountered it, probably earlier.

> It's not to harm addicts. It's to discourage recreational use in the first place.

Yes, discourage recreational use of some specific highly-addictive drugs and not others, at the expense of providing some addicts with a slow agonizing death. As I said, sick.
People who self identify as busybodies creating rules of conduct etc. seem to me to be more interested in rules than opinions. Setting the rules, especially when it's around social norms - rules almost for the sake of rules - is a cheap power tactic pursued in organisations all over the world for decades. Thought police / religious fundamentalists exist in every political shade. It's the zealousness of the policing that I have a problem with, not the particular shade.

Just my opinion. I don't care much about the politics. I don't think either side of US politics is wrong or right per se, for example. I'm just very wary of people who have strong opinions that they want to turn into rules.
This isn't just academic. As OP pointed out TIDAL is not only using lossless but touting that as a key selling point.
The Labour situation probably also makes it unlikely for it to be plausible to call for elections, as to call an early election in the simplest way requires a 2/3rds majority of the House in favour (i.e., 431 votes, 101 seats more than the Tories hold). The alternative, which the Tories in principle could do alone, is pass a motion of no confidence in the Government, wait two weeks, and then the House falls to an election (this assumes that all Tories would vote as a block, thereby making it impossible for a motion of confidence to be passed in those two week).
A while ago, I tested Stanford's Core NLP Open IE implementation and UW (now AllenAII)'s version[1]. The UW version was much better.

I dislike that passive-aggressive dynamic of converting the second type of thinking/feedback to the first. And that dynamic generally has a name: "politics". I've been on teams where I had to use rhetoric to convince a (non-technical) manager that following standard design practices like low coupling/high cohesion, etc. results in more robust software.

What's sad about that whole political dynamic is that it wears people down to the point they just don't care anymore. They're tired of people (often management) who can't make a decision due to political pressures ("I don't want to be the manager who has any project 'fail.'"). This often leads to decision makers succumbing to the sunk cost fallacy. But as long as there are status reports and it looks like work is getting done, then the process continues.
The issue is the following:

In February 2014, the Swiss voted in a referendum to introduce quotas for all migrants in Switzerland. The referendum, which requires Switzerland to have annual quotas for immigrants, does not take effect immediately but requires the Swiss government to implement a quota system within three years.

Nothing to do with regional unemployment offices.

Another thing I've noticed is that no matter how compelling the argument it's also near impossible to get people to take action to change things that are deeply entrenched even if they agree with you.
> Every country with a police force has an unwritten law imposing the death penalty for law-breaking.

"for law-breaking" is an over-generalization, but okay, not "no law." Merely "no law on the books."

> In order to arrest someone and send him to a Norwegian country-club prison, the threat or use of force must occur.

Lots of punitive measures beyond arresting someone. Wage garnishment, for example. Given how many employers refuse to employ felons out of hand, it's likely no force against your employer was necessary to get them on board with garnishing your wages either. Merely having the government label you a criminal can be a grievous overreach, in my book, for breaking many minor laws.

Cops rarely want the hassle and danger involved in arresting people.

> Force is, ultimately, lethal violence.

I think you're overgeneralizing to the point of making these terms meaningless. And that's coming from someone who considers tasers to be "lethal violence".

Do you have examples of those things? It would go a long way to moving the conversation forwards.

This seems to be the crux of the problem: accusations without anything at all backing it up. Not even specific pointers to talks given.
Genuinely curious, have there ever been issues of people abusing this? It could possibly be an issue if someone wants to use that information to harass/follow/stalk someone.

Do we need to keep the DNA away from bacteria? Would it not be digested for nutrients or food? Or is that just propaganda from the salesman pushing memory carbon for my looongterm data storage needs?
I had something else in mind, but this certainly qualifies, and there is tremendous value for you, and "the greater good," in actively asking yourself that question. It adds perspective to the discussion as well. Thank you for the input.
I almost implicitly read that as "users of social media are tools", which while a bit harsh, might actually have some truth to it...
In a way, that goes both ways. In Norway, management is as likely to have a union as the employee. The factory my spouse works at, negotiations are usually done between the unions. A little over half the employees have a union, and from what I understand folks can choose their union. You might have a different work contract than the person standing next to you because of different unions or one having a lack of a union.
I don't think my skill is surprising but it is valuable nonetheless.

It is a willingness to see similarities instead of differences. This helps me write compact, clean code that is reliable.
> In the extreme angle case, suppose two vehicle are traveling on a freeway side-by-side and move together very slowly just to give each other a light tap. The forward motion relative to the ground is irrelevant; the impact is the same as, say, slowly backing into a parked car, except that it's sideways. Looking out the side window, the other car is in the same spot the whole time and just gets closer.

In terms of their relative motion, sure. There are other factors though, like if you're going 70 MPH and the relatively soft hit from the side spins your car off axis.

If your car was stopped, no big deal, you're pointed in a different direction. But since your car is moving and its wheels are no longer parallel to the direction of travel, you're going to spin/slide down the highway at 65 mph.

Even if the car doesn't spin from the impact, most drivers are going to react to noticing that someone just changed lanes into their car by swerving, which is again not a great situation at highway speeds.
Now that you mention it. Alas, with the level of discourse on this topic it's sometimes hard to tell :-)

Can't downvote so responding instead: this is the kind of harmful misinformation that stigmatizes even responsible drug use and makes it less safe for all. Please educate yourself and reform your beliefs on the matter, and stop spreading it.

Also do you realize what you're saying to the author of the root comment? Shame on you.
There's a lot to gripe about with Apple, but not when it comes to accessibility. I am quadriplegic and usually that means putting up with some terrible subset of functions for any given application, tablet, phone or whatever but not with Apple. They've made it so that anything able-bodied person can do with an iPhone, I can do with their Switch Control interface which I use connected up to the chin controller on my wheelchair. It's all done via a little Bluetooth bridge called a Tecla shield and it's absolutely marvellous.

There really isn't another company in the world, certainly not another phone Manufacturer that has thought of people with motor skill problems in the way that Apple has. When people think of accessibility they think of the blind and that deaf, people with motor function problems are definitely the red-headed stepchildren of the accessibility software world.

Apple, pay your fng taxes but thank you very very very much for the accessibility software, my life would be much much poorer intellectually without it.

I'd argue that enough were to give Leave the win. 37% of British people saw health care as one of the most important issues facing the UK in a June survey[1], and better health care was one of the key issues pushed by the Vote Leave campaign.

Sarcasm; the lowest form of wit.
I'm sure it would get put to another vote based on some material change to the situation. My guess is with restrictions on free movement many people would change their mind.
Sometimes people encourage me to get into speaking at conferences. There are a number of reasons I don't want to, and shit like this isn't the main one, but it certainly doesn't help.

Everything just feels very tense (to be clear, I think the reasons for this are understandable) but it also just seems kind of thankless.
As for Mr Straw, glad to hear he made the decision to think for himself, rather than buying into all the BS that the conservatives or liberals / Republicans or Democrats are selling.

All things in moderation, I suppose, and don't be afraid to look at the historical facts and likely consequences of decisions.

Not that facts help you make a values decision about what to do when there is a "zero sum", conflict of interest type situation...
Thanks for the reply. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "peers" in the above? Eg, who (or what) would Heroku's peers be?
There's precedent, though, in the form of the Scottish devolution referendum in 1979. 51.6% voted in favour of a Scottish Assembly, but as enacted to be considered to pass it needed 40% or more of the registered electorate to vote in favour—with only 63.7% turnout, it was only 32.9% of the registered electorate.
Whose authority? The same authority that allows them to create Nodevember: their own. I've never run a conference so I'm only speculating here: when people decide to organize a conference, they have an idea of what ideas and environment and discussion they want to promote, whether it's Nodevember or the American Neo-Nazi Party. I don't know what Nodevember's standards are but they clearly don't allow for Crockford, and as long as it's not for reasons that might violate civil rights, e.g. if Crockford were to rely on a wheelchair and Nodevember wanted to convene at a place without elevators or ramps, they can have whatever standards they want, just like they're free to write and uphold a code of conduct they believe in.

But generally, and again I've never run a conference, if you have standards, you should have them at the time of planning the conference, including when inviting keynote speakers.

Public income info means it is much much easier to negotiate against HR.

You know exactly how much x or y makes given a or b. This is info that HR has, because they pay for it. If it was public, you'd have it too.

Your bosses also would not be allowed to guilt-trip you into foregoing a raise without them taking on a comparable part of the burden.

Salary secrecy seems like a quintessentially american thing, completely at odds with faith in markets. If you believe in markets, let the labor markets do the best job they possibly can, by informing agents within them and tearing down information asymmetries.
The NewsHour absolutely seems the most trustworthy news organization to me, too, and I wish they had the same editors managing a full length daily newspaper.

The Washington Post seems to be improving, and the LA Times wins a lot of awards, though I never find it interesting when I visit the site. With the NY Times, people who like it often say it is great with the exception of any reporting which covers their own field of expertise—which is an awful lot like finding out that the NYT is bad at doing its homework before reporting on most subjects, or doesn't know how to hire domain-specific experts and editors.

I understand your point about organizations being clear about their editorial bias, but the two you mentioned take a lot of mental energy.

I suppose all sources of journalism change over time (except maybe The New Yorker). The Atlantic goes through altering waves of insight and coherence, then periods where they have lead articles claiming that torturers are just misunderstood. Or, The Economist over the past few years which seems to me like it is written by well-meaning, enthusiastic, but extremely young students, being replaced by Bloomberg and Bloomberg Business wee when it comes to snippet-length but serious reporting.
Excuse me; I don't think so. TNT is trinitrotoluene. Dynamite is a mixture of nitroglycerin, absorbents, and stabilizers.
It looks interesting. A walk-through 'hello world' or 'todo app' might provide people less familiar with the implementation a better understanding of Rulette.

Good luck.
If you don't have anything to hide, or you don't want to trick people by paying less then the value they produce, then this kind of system is much better because it promotes honesty and a kind of mutual respect. It may seem strange at first but usually democracy and transparency go hand in hand.
