I agree. There should always be a good justification provided for the data collection, as well as a description of safeguards against malicious use and also a way to verify if the data is indeed used as intended and brings in value. This should be a minimum standard to hold a government to.

"Is it me or has Apache increasingly become the place open source projects of big companies go to die? OpenOffice, Geronimo, Harmony, Wave, etc.pp."

It's just you :)

Seriously though, that is a mistaken impression, bolstered by people who have a vested interest in that impression. Instead, Apache is a place where large open source projects of big companies go to build an independent and healthy community around the project. Sometimes it doesn't work out, for numerous reasons, but most of the time the change is one of the best things to happen to the project.

Thanks!

For me it's usually smallish organisations, startups, sometimes associations, who want a map that looks better than a run-of-the-mill Google maps with plain markers, really. So they see something like https://ssz.fr/voies/ or one of the variations of https://ssz.fr/territoire/ and ask for something like it that shows their data in an adequate way (and hopefully a good looking way too, using their colour scheme, etc).

After that they sometimes ask me if I'm available for more map-related projects or iterative improvements to the first maps (and I am as long as they're small enough projects which won't take me more than a week or two).

I think larger companies just don't email a random author after they find their address on a map, but that's fine because they're less interesting to work with in my opinion.
I don't think the MOOC gets away from this original ambition. YC is still interested in funding the maximum possible number of promising companies.

This is, however, a clear logistical challenge when you have a partner/advice model that doesn't scale all that easily. It may just turn out that an online, infinitely scalable net is precisely the best way to grow the number of great companies you can see and subsequently fund.

I don't think YC intends this to be a purely educational exercise.

Response time for the police is usually on the order of tens of minutes. A friend lives in the country and called about a suspicious person and had a deputy show up 3.5 hours later. Thieves know this and will be in and out pretty quickly. They know where to look - under the mattress. In the refrigerator/freezer. In the nightstand. On the top shelf of the closet.
This brings up the larger question of what is and isn't considered 'normal' health. Professional athletes do have higher rates of disease. With strain and injury come health consequences. But there can be advantages. I'm interested in whether any of the male athletes suffer from "low testosterone", a very shady diagnosis. In short: if you don't have the testosterone of a 18yo football star, you are "low". That diagnosis allows docs to prescribe testosterone sups/patches/gels to the 50+yo men I see at the gym. The drug industry loves it. But athletes could use that diagnosis to gain legitimate access to performance enhancers. Some drugs meant to promote healing of injuries are also, imho, performance enhancing if they allow an athlete to continue training where a 'normal' person would be sidelined with a minor muscle or tendon strain.

Similarly, pain killers are near-universal amongst athletes and aren't considered performance enhancing. I'm going for a run this afternoon. A mild painkiller would certainly allow me to run faster/longer, and would probably get me out on days that I am sore and really don't want to run. Perhaps this database may shed light on the use of painkillers as training aids.
I used AFL (fast) on the TXR language and fixed a few issues as a result in release 148. None of them were corruption issues. Several were degenerate behavior. One was a termination via abort, due to something not being checked. I just fuzzed the parser, not even delving into semantics very much. Still, the parser involves expansion of macros and special operators, and is complicated enough in itself, so things can go wrong.

One issue that was uncovered was that the defvarl macro was improperly implemented. It is supposed to be like defvar, but not mark the symbol as special, giving rise to a global lexical variable (hence the "l"). However, it was actually behaving as a synonym for defvar. How AFL helped uncover this is that its fuzzing generated the form (defvarl) with no parameters. Now defvarl was marking the symbol special at expansion time. There was no error checking for the missing name, and so the symbol nil was passed to an internal function to mark a symbol special; and that asserted on nil being a non-bindable symbol. Of course, my reaction was, huh? How do we end up in mark_special when defvarl is being expanded? Oh shit ...

Another thing AFL found was degenerate behavior in the op operator for generating anonymous functions. op scans its body for numeric parameters, and then generates a lambda with a number of arguments based on the highest numeric parameter: (op whatever @1 @2) gives you, ignoring certain other details, (lambda (arg1 arg2) (whatever arg1 arg2)). AFL figured out that there is a problem if we do something like (op whatever @1111111111111111111111111111111). The expander wants to create lambda syntax with a huge number of parameters, which blows up memory. Though nobody would do this in a normal program, suppose that you have some application which accepts code and interprets it. Of course, you sandbox all the stuff which could let the code access the system---but issues like this means that you're open to DoS before the code even runs, just from parsing it and expanding its macros. You wouldn't sandbox off a useful programming feature like op. I just put in a hard maximum on the integer that can be used in the op syntax.

One more degenerate behavior AFL uncovered was in backquote nesting. The TXR Lisp backquote is spelled ^ (caret). AFL uncovered that ^^^^^^...FORM nesting blows up memory exponentially in the number of rounds, due to each round of nested backquote expansion multiplying the size of the expansion. This prompted me to finally add some optimization of the generated code to the sloppy backquote expander, which reduces the expansion growth to linear in the number of rounds.

After these fixes, I noticed speed increase in "make tests" in excess of 7%, too.

I look forward to more fuzzing.

I would suggest that my approach to any conflict resolution would be tempered knowing if they owned a cache of assault rifles. We already have access to other information as a matter of public record, I really don't see a problem knowing that someone has a gun. Also, you seem to imply that I either have a conflict with a neighbor, or am ill-equipped to resolve one respectfully. Neither is true.

But I can understand how that data, in civilian hands, could be used for potentially nefarious purposes. I only suggested the idea as a way to make the information more "transparent", but someone a lot smarter than me would have to discern the risks involved, and I am 100% able to adjust my expectations based on such risks. I'm not committed to the issue one way or another.

Yes, like that of the post which I was directing my response towards:

Science is fundamentally hypothetical, not something to be sure of.

Believe: to accept (something) as true; feel sure the truth of.

"Believing in science" or "believing in creationism" are both opposed to your statement (which I agree with), because they do not leave room for doubt:

Regarding

alias ssh=’ssh -AX’
alias ls=’ls –color=auto’

Let me quote the Mercurial manual:

> It is possible to create aliases with the same names as existing commands, which will then override the original definitions. This is almost always a bad idea![0]

I was recently bitten by this when running a build on a new machine. I was doing a

log -r "$revision"

and instead of getting one commit message (as usual), I was getting the entire log history up to $revision.

I managed to find that Mercurial had made a breaking change[1] so that `log -fr` would now have the observed behavior. But I was only running `log -r`!

But on the old machine, I had in my .hgrc the alias

log=log -f

To top it off, I also had a comment with the above quote that this is "almost always a bad idea!" Consider me burned!

The only benefit of automatic fire is for suppression. How often are police officers in situations requiring suppressive fire?

There is no need for police officers to have automatic weapons during the course of their duties.
I'd say this is legitimate story because of lack of transparency. If it requires a hacker group to get this data, if it's not clear immediately, was it the due procedure to get a TUE and how often this happened, this can point either to mismanagement of WADA or corruption in higher ranks.

OTOH in the case of abortion you have the difference that you take direct action against the fetus in favor of the mother, instead of just being passive and "letting nature take its course". In terms of ethics that's a huge difference.

In fact I'd argue that an uncontradictory absolutist position for body integrity is impossible in the case of abortion (assuming the fetus is considered human!), since the only absolute resolution technically isn't abortion, but rather premature birth and artificially keeping the fetus alive.

Of course the disagreement between camps remains on when a fetus becomes human...
I'm afraid you're not that wrong here :(

This is both unsurprising, and worrying. Unsurprising because it's the job of any nation's military and espionage arms to consider and form plans to cripple or destroy their potential enemy's infrastructure, information included. Worrying, because as far as I can tell most people remain deeply ignorant and/or unconcerned (present company excluded both from that remark, and realistically the descriptor "most people") about 'cybersecurity' in any form.

That needs to change, and the author is right that while there seems to be little to do now, people should be aware of it.
They aren't good jobs. The average salary for plumbers is around $50-55k or so, right around the median for the US. Ok, but certainly not good. For roofers and mechanics, you're significantly below the median around $35k, basically in poverty especially if you have a family. I don't think encouraging people away from education is the problem when salaries are this low (poverty levels).
I can see, in some ways, the point of being targeted by burglars. The same burglars who see the box of your new big screen tv on trash day (or dive for receipts), or who case your house for a few weeks before Christmas to see what you;re unloading from your car. I would think that a thief would be less interested to steal from someone who is, by virtue of owning a gun, equipped to defend his or her property with lethal force.

I honesty don't see this as a threat vector, unless I'm missing something. What am I missing? I admit ignorance here, and please don't mistake my responses as an argument. If this is a legitimate concern, I'd like to know. I'd hate to think my opinion was uninformed.
I'm not sold that this is a good thing. Opening up the web to many languages will fracture the community. This is not good for newcomers looking for a place to start, as the landscape could be too vast.

So does the NRA's idea that the second amendment will allow people to overthrow the government if they still own guns.

But at the end of the day, forcing your police force to think deescalation first has some real benefits. Carrying a fatal weapon and being trained that people within 25-30 feet are in your 'danger zone' has had a very poor outcome.

Never did I say things in India have are better than US. But things have so drastically improved incentives to go foreign lands are lesser.

India has grown by leaps and bounds. Opportunities compared to what was 15-20 years back aren't even comparable now. Unless you come and live here, you wouldn't have a clue. Calling and talking to relatives won't give you a good idea. They think you are living in heaven, this perspective exists because NRI's send pictures of vacations and their cars and people in India think its all coming either for free or through magic.

I have faced this issue too. People think all they have to do is land in US and pretty much all their issues are solved without doing anything at all. Most people staying in India haven't a clue about life in US. They have never heard about how expensive higher education is, or health care for that matter. They do not realize what it takes to have a mortgage in a place like Bay Area. They haven't heard of minimum wage. They don't know how strict tax laws are. They don't even know how few options their kids have in life if they don't get into STEM branches. This along with harshness of what can happen to your dependents should something happen to your life. Without a strong social circle all these things are hard and set back life for dependents.

Most people, aspiring to come to US are thinking on the lines of Disneyland and Yosemite. And at best the US 101 freeway.

Plus I see this whole thing among NRI's about wishing bad things to happen to India and overplay things about conditions in India to make their own decisions look good. Its sad.

I have lived in US and India. Things are just going full hyper in India. Things might not be same as US, but its no longer the binary 1 or 0 it used to be in the pre-2003/90's era.

My $99 Android phone (out-of-pocket, no contract) that looks nice (to me at least), has 6.0.1, and serves all my phone needs quite nicely has no case.

I could care less about the thing at this point, even though it is easily the best phone I've ever owned.

> California’s huge investment in high-speed rail was justified by a 2014 cost-benefit analysis that Parsons Brinckerhoff, the firm building the rail system, had prepared. The report predicted that total benefits from the project would range from $66 billion to $80 billion over several decades. That number looked reasonable when the projected price tag for the project was $35 billion, but the budget has already swollen to $68 billion—and is still expanding.

Wow, the pile of errors there is pretty amazing...

(1) The SF-Anaheim route (Phase 1) was estimated at $33 billion in current dollars in 2006 (given the construction and inflation estimates in that plan, that was $65 billion in year-of-expenditure dollars at that time), but that was quickly revised to $96 billion year-of-expenditure if exclusive trackage (the original plan) was retained for the whole route.

By the 2012 business plan, that option (no longer the preferred one) was down to $91.3 billion year-of-expenditure, and the now-preferred blended system which used some shared track was $68.3 year-of-expenditure.

(2) The supposed 2014 report from Parsons Brinckerhoff (which hadn't yet been selected as the lead partner for the rail delivery contract) doesn't seem to exist; all the High Speed Rail Authority's commissioned studies and reports are published on the Authority web page together by year, and there is no 2014 report from Parsons Brinckerhoff, and no report (in 2014 or otherwise, from Parsons Brinckerhoff or otherwise) I can find making the prediction indicated in the quote, after skimming the ones that seemed from their titles to focus on economic impacts.

There is a 2016 fact sheet claiming that the Phase I alignment is an alternative to a combination of freeway and airport construction that would cost $158 billion to provide equivalent capacity, which at a $68 billion price tag for High-Speed Rail would be $80 billion of net savings in construction cost alone (there are also operations/maintenance cost savings) -- not total benefit before cost.

I didn't say anything about presuming guilt. More like a law enforcement officer having increased situational awareness when responding to a call of a violent crime. Nor did I say anything about a cop taking anyone's guns. They have no right to, unless of course they were illegally acquired, or the owner isn't licensed to carry one.

As it stands now, I believe a law enforcement officer can discern if you have a FOID card in the US, which may set the expectation that you are armed to the teeth, while a purchase database might show that you purchased a non-functional collector piece. I'd think that information would improve their situational awareness and make their approach more context-appropriate.
