That sounds great to me. We need more whistle blowers and more civil disobedience. We need to change, the US is a joke; a parody of itself. We have all of this freedom branding, but are afraid of that freedom. We cower behind a police state and express our fear as hatred for those who are different from us. We have exported the American Dream to the world and destroyed everything about ourselves that made this place special.

We have demolished the middle class. Our infrastructure is shit. Education is so expensive it often makes economic sense not to get educated. We spend hundreds of billions of dollars on "defense" instead of investing it in fixing all of the broken shit we have going on.

Worse, our election system is so broken that we have to pick between two pieces of shit that don't represent anyone's interests. There is no nuance, it's one tantrum after another.

Who do we hate now? Who's personal life do we need to pry onto? Can we talk about how hot Kurdish freedom fighters are? Hillary is not a criminal, she's like grandma. Can you believe Tump has small hands? Look at his skin! Jobs?! You want jobs? Talk to the Mexicans who took your jobs. TPP? What TPP? NAFTA? What is? You want healthcare? Welcome to indentured servitude. National healthcare is for freedom-hating communist muslims. Public education? Too expensive. Of course, we have to spend $1.5 trillion on fighter jets, but that's basic common sense.

I am honestly disgusted by what we've become. We should change our slogan to "fuck the world, kill them all". Then, at least, we'd be honest.
I'm down voting you because I think not only is your assessment wrong, your telling of history is too. One of the first episodes of South Park was a Jesus vs. Santa episode where they fought over the meaning of Christmas.

There was toilet/uncouth humor then along side political/social commentary, and there is basically the same product now.
If I had unlimited money, I could hire an army of coders to write me a git platform with all the features I want, and host it on all the servers, everywhere. It's simply not feasible to talk about product features in a vacuum without considering the costs.

Price is a feature.
Thanks man. That's exactly what I try to do.
In some rural communities this is how the police behave in the US. I've seen police changing tires for people near my house countless times for example.

I did say "primary interface" as well, which definitely rules out a mediocre phone connection.
This pulls something from https://cdn.turbo.run/alwsl/alwsl.sfs - what's this URL? How can anyone tell this is related to Arch Linux? Why do the readmes link to 404s? All of this seems rather unfinished. Could have polished at least the github presence a little.

Also, what are the advantages compared to solution like https://github.com/RoliSoft/WSL-Distribution-Switcher, which allows selecting different distributions, including Arch Linux?
There are todos! I keep my notes there and list them out
Has that worked so far?
when i had to pay a ticket at the santa clara court house the cops there are a bunch of smart asses. Except for that black cop who was at the door, he was very helpful.
It is unfortunate that your comment is getting downvoted instead of upvoted.

In our politically correct world, commonsense is no longer desirable.
How does Rustconf support inclusivity like the Node.js conferences does?
Probably because they'd just infect the emulator with some payload rather than figure out an exploit vector that depended on the payload being opened in the emulator later.
Again, are they "scary stories" or just the reality of where most of our food comes from? I'm also still curious about just how meaningful the term "Family farm" is.
Bayer raises Monsanto cash takeover offer to $65bn
I'm not sure people expect super-human performance out of Siri. An important difference is that a human who doesn't understand will say so, and ask to repeat the relevant part (or to choose between two alternatives), conversationally; or it will pick an interpretation which is not the intended one but was an understandable misunderstanding.

Contrast this with speech recognition, which will often substitute words that are nonsensical in context, making it look silly from a human perspective...
Depends on your merchant account I believe. We tokenize them somehow, and can do further transactions by referencing the first transaction.

Then the government will find a need to ban VPNs for the safety of its citizens.
This shit has been happening to poor black and Hispanic people for a long time. In a sick way, it's a good thing that it's happening to doctors now. It's easy for comfortable suburbanites to vote pro-police, but now that the cancer has spread and police are brazenly abusing everyone else, it won't be so easy to ignore.

We need a system of collective punishment for such conduct. "Good" police officers should fear losing their livelihoods for helping cover up the abuses of "bad" ones. For example, lawyers are subject to professional discipline for failing to rat out the misconduct of other lawyers. Liability also flows up to supervisors from reports. It creates a healthy culture of paranoia. There is no reason police should be held to a lesser standard.
Show HN: Fundhub.xyz – Make better fund investment decisions
Care to explain what this is? FAQ = 404
When I started investing for financial independence, I wanted to find the best investment fund for me, but I couldn't find a webpage that listed all of them and let me filter them. So I made one.

I tried to answer the majority of the questions through the interactive chat on the landing page, but feel free to ask more questions here!
Exactly. And if it's in your hand frequently, what it feels like in your hand, what it feels like coming out of your pocket, matters.
We have .. both. I think it works better than it sounds. We 'get' 10 sick days per year. If we require more than 3 consecutively, we need a doctor's note. If we require more after those 10, we need a doctor's note (even if it's 1 non-consecutive day).

I guess I get it .. there needs to be some catch to stop the system being abused. But at the same time .. if it's too low, the employer is abusing us.
Ok, naive question: how "21 separate and not that great tutorials, all happening at the same time" is not what a class is supposed to be? If I go to the class, I expect to learn information from the teacher. There will be occasional classmate information that will be interesting but I expect 90% of my time spent gaining information from the teacher.

Since when do we expect classes to be social events? If I want to learn with other learners then I don't really need a teacher, or a classroom, actually. I need a forum, a la stackoverflow, and a good doc/book.

In the sense C programmers use the term? Why should humans be trusted with identifying all operations that can't be safely performed within a transaction?

Folks - off topic but if we're talking about incredible (really unbelievable in today's context) adventure books I'll nominate Aspley Cherry-Garrard's The Worst Journey in the World [0]. A. C-G was the youngest member of Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated second journey to the Antarctic. And no, the worst journey was not the southern journey in which all five members died on return.

El Camino is a street. It runs from San Jose nearly to San Francisco.
I loathe orphan branches with an intensity that could produce a nation of orphaned children.

My view is: unless you have an inescapable security, physical or performance reason not to have a single repo, have a single repo.

Directories are for managing directories.

Version branches are for managing versions.

They are not the same thing.
I have a different experience - many people speak with a mumble or a mushmouth and no amount of concentration helps me disentangle it until I can get them to speak more clearly.
We have a birdbath in our front yard. A few weeks ago I saw a crow which had ~2 inch long piece of something which looked like dried white bread in its beak. As I watched it from inside, it moved around the birdbath on the railings, very carefully, for sometime, making sure that there was no danger. Then, it sat on the edge of the birdbath and dropped the piece in water - waited 1-2 seconds and picked it up and then ate it.

I'm really bummed that I didn't capture it on video but to me it was a sign of intelligence that the crow knew that it could soften that piece of bread by dipping in water so that it could eat it.
So what, some advanced features are enterprise only...

They have to make money after all.

The 'basic' product (which is far more than basic) is open source though, which incredible.
Exactly, when SR has a low confidence level it needs to ask for you to repeat yourself. Not just choose the highest confidence match and hope for the best.

I don't have much faith in Google being able to scale this into something truly game changing. They don't have the nimbleness and service culture that is required.
A big gas tax will hurt rural areas the most. Maybe we could base the tax on the population density of an area, and give electric car tech time to trickle down into less populated regions until we ultimately start turning up the heat there, too.
Came here to say exactly this. The headline vastly overstates the case.
Agree, officers of color are usually nicer. The Asian cop who helped me retrieve the impound release paperwork was nice to me. Even waived the $100 paper work fee.

But I'm still pissed about the whole situation. Wasted three hours and $300 because of some cop decided to arrest a sober person to kill time rather than patrolling the street and catching the real criminals.

Edit: had to change colored to officers of color to be more PC.
Looks like heavy WIP (https://github.com/turbo/alwsl/issues/5). There isn't really anything on the main branch, indicating that it probably shouldn't be used(?) yet(?). Also, this seems to be the backstory: https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/8#issuecom...
It would be a lot more depressing if we had already found all there was to find and knew there wasn't anything more...

There are good cops out there, no doubt about it.
I understand your points - it's narrative that's floating on the internet, and it's one that's very easy to believe.

Unfortunately [2] is 100% opinion.

As far as [1], every single "large" deal is negotiated. That is standard practice for deals of this size, including your employer and AWS. It's also very different from "Google is the one benefitted" and "Spotify chose Google because of sweetheart pricing" and "Spotify got paid to do PR for Google". As I've said before, these narratives diminish both parties. It's Trump's "many people say that..."
>how does one draw the most talented researchers to work for a small group of people with minimal pay over working for a large company with a high salary and all the computational resources you might need?

With unlimited they're not giving you PTO when you leave the company. It's a real nice way to give a finger. If anything the policy should be X many PTO hours but past that it's still unlimited.
I am currently dual booting between Arch Linux and Windows 10.

He did the same thing by making sure to reference Greenwald's "boyfriend". He wanted to make sure to emphasize to you, the reader, that Glenn Greenwald is gay and is therefore bad.
Not even mentioning it says what I think about it more than anything I could write about it.
I'm curious why they chose to launch as a separate brand rather than continuing to use the Anker name for these products. From what i can tell, they have an exceptional reputation for making quality products, it seems weird to throw that away just to enter a new market.
Ouch, that comment: Those are not icosahedra; they're dodecahedra. A regular icosahedron has 20 faces and 12 vertices.

No matter how I look at it, it seems to be right. I wonder if they have a good reason for abusing nomenclature like that. Or perhaps they'll have to issue a rather embarrassing errata stating the very title was wrong.

And an unrelated but equally bewildering thing: the page has this "editor's pick" section containing a uselessly gigantic 5672x1823px image resized to 280x90px. What the fuck.
(To other HN readers, the direct page is https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/homdry-the-perfect-home-h... ).

To account "HOMDRY", germicidal UV sources are usually at 254 nm. What is the frequency of your light source?

Typically germicidal lamps should be treated with extreme caution, and not be exposed to skin. Your Indigogo page says "Blue UV Light is safe on skin and proven to kill bacteria soap can miss." Is this because your Blue UV lamp is a UVA lamp? This certainly does kill germs, but it's not as effective.

Your Indigogo page says "Blue UV Light for the last 8 seconds of each session". How effective is this as a germicide? What percentage of germs are killed in 8 seconds?

Why does the Indigogo page not describe its germicidal effectiveness?

If the Blue UV light for 8 seconds is not an effective germicidal source, and since HÖMDRY is primarily an air dryer, why does it not suffer from the same issues that WalterSear pointed out?

And what does "Blue UV light" mean? Scientifically there is blue light, and there is ultraviolet light, but "blue UV" is about as much sense as "blue red light." Is this meant as a marketing term?

Your method uses a patented process. I was unable to find a USPTO match for HÖMDRY, nor did I have success searching with the principals' names. Could you tell me the patent number?
After the most recent top Starcraft tournament (gsl code S), they asked the loser why he lost. He said, "I worked hard to prepare for this tournament, but my opponent prepared better."

What kind of things did he prepare? It wasn't reflexes, it was strategy. What kind of strategies was he preparing? He watched his opponent's past games, and came up with some build orders of course, but in this case, the primary strategy he came up with was an army composition hoping to counter what his opponent had been doing recently. When the opponent had the proper counter to that strategy, he won the rest of the games easily.
I agree, Projects is a poor choice, in my opinion.

Some alternatives that randomly come to mind: "Boards", "Plan", "Plans", "Tasks".
We need a few very large businesses to refuse to do business with police, against their own financial interest, before they'll notice something is wrong. More fines that taxpayers pay aren't fixing it. If Dunkin Donuts could be convinced not to allow cops to enter their business except with a warrant, or Glock refused to sell a department any more weapons, they might do something.

(Of course, this is illegal in California. And I'm hesitant to encourage this fully without a measurable standard of when sufficient change has occurred to start working with them again.)
At what point did you identify yourself as a doctor?
What really gets to me is the fact that white societies are the number #1 immigration destinations for non-whites, and are entirely responsible for this person's opportunities and high standards of living.

Yet all he sees is white racism.

edit: since I can't reply anymore; to that one person...

You've missed the point entirely.

1. You don't know that race had anything to do with what happened. All you have is one side of a story that keeps dragging race into it. Which is very racist in itself.

2. If white societies where racist, they would not be the #1 immigration destination or have the highest standards of living for non-whites (or even let non-whites in).
Weird, it seems counterproductive. Why doesn't the US police in bigger cities try to integrate with the citizens?

Is the violence risk so big or are there legal reasons?
Frankly, you've allowed yourself to fall prey to US election year propaganda. If you look at the numbers you're very safe travelling in the US, and to the extent you're in danger it's from criminals and not police.
"Common sense" is only common to the people who know it already.

There are plenty of people who think the vast majority of the police are public servants trying to do their job, serve and protect. Maybe they're right. Some are. I've had good interactions with police officers and bad ones. The author was trying to do the right thing and maybe save someone's life. If a woman screams for help in a dark alley, it isn't common sense to run in and try to help her -- you're putting yourself in the line of fire. But it's brave and we celebrate and worship the people who do it rightfully as heroes, we don't berate them for "not having common sense" and putting themselves at risk.

What he did took courage or naive ignorance (or both) and from the rest of the article I'm fairly certain it's not ignorance -- he's well aware of rampant police brutality.
You're just trolling, right?
We are a major player in Ember Fastboot. We're trying to open source more projects that have value, so it's nice to hear people notice!
GP criticized you, as I did, because your comment clearly reveals you to have a paranoid, and delusional, belief that others dislike Israel out of antisemitism.
Most modern language modelling is RNN based now; eg: https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.02410 (which I think is SOTA).
If I had a system to organize this, here's what it would be:

1) Add all new professional contacts to a Google Doc along with the date of the last time I spoke to them, with the most recent contact dates at the bottom.

2) Contact one person every week or [insert appropriate time interval].

3) Move the person I just contacted to the bottom of the list.

4) Rinse and repeat.

But instead of doing that I just have Twitter and a dash of Facebook. People pop up in my feed and I interact with them on the fly.
Yes they are trained (whether explicitly or informally between each other) to do this. It will continue so long as it works.
The premium subscription to MLB.TV allows one to choose commentator track, and one alternative is to only have park sounds.
"Each of 4 white, ignorant, racist asshole police officers."

While he was probably trying to use it in an aggressive sense, I'd avoid getting too offended. You can't expect people to talk nicely right after being wronged like that. If I were telling people about something like that I would try to speak as calmly as possible, but I'd be pretty upset if someone found a slip-up as an excuse to ignore me.
Does anybody considered this problem at all? (Giving too much flexibility to client and allowing non-optimal queries like joining several big tables or data collections w/o proper index support.) It's so weird that all materials I saw about GraphQL hushed up this question which is essential for the future of this technology.

And it's so similar to ORM's issues all the industry experienced past 20 years. But perhaps more dangerous due to the public nature of many APIs.
They could have done iPhone 6s vs. iPhone 7 photos, side-by-side but they didn't.

I can't tell if the camera is great or the pictures look great because of the location. What is the point of this review?

It should be titled "iPhone 7 sample photos & videos taken at a spectacular location."
This. There are fewer and fewer places for single repository applications in this day and age: We break out a repo for everything to our DDL / Stored procedures and of course our API vs. Front-end code.

It sort of boggles the mind, really - and makes me feel like they did not really take the community's desires seriously.
If your hardware supports it, you may be able to pull a 180 and run a Windows VM on the bare metal using hardware passthrough. There's a great community here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vfio
The problem as I see it is that while 99% of police officers are not only law abiding and do their job with integrity, the 1% out there can and do destroy innocent lives. It is like walking into a mine field. You could very well walk out unscathed but one 'routine' brush with the wrong police officer and your life may never recover. So are you willing to take such a small but catastrophic chance? An intelligent person would do all they can to minimize the risk.

Ask HN: Boilerplates for quick prototyping of business ideas
I am unsure if this already exists in some shape or form but figured the best place to ask is HN :)

I wanted to figure out if there is boilerplate code available to test out ideas that are a little bit more evolved than launchrock pages or sign up templates. There are pretty easily available HTML templates but are there boilerplate templates that deal with certain well known functionalities - like for example a crowdfunding platform or a marketplace.

Besides scouring Github, is there something that people use reliably to prototype and see if a business idea has legs. Like FB Ad -> Landing Page ++ ?
At what point? Right now? Because this election season in the US has been nothing but that, and it was trite from day 1.
I can write the other side for you right now, the same as the last few dozen times this type of thing happened: "We investigated ourselves, and found ourselves free of fault. The man in question was acting suspiciously and interfering with us protecting you. Our officers have to make snap judgments about circumstances like whether a suspicious person's ID is fake; they shouldn't be tried with perfect hindsight."
