"intervening in the UK"

You probably should not be 'intervening'.

Because it's pretty hard for a regular civilian to judge what the 'appropriate amount of force' is within certain limits.

I mean - obviously if the cop was just beating someone blind, you can 'intervene' - but aside from that - it's probably just best to whip out your iphone, record, let the officer know you are recording.
The qemu support for RISC-V is being upstreamed right now and there is also the Spike RISC-V simulator that you can use. There are various soft CPUs that can be run in FPGAs too.
> It didn't cost too much and it's flexible - running Ubuntu server I can stick some Docker containers on it, run a/v for the network, Nagios, anything really.

All those things should be on separate machines.
Many cops welcome the cameras because it's their vindication and get-out-of-jail ticket for people making false claims.

If I were a cop, I'd want one for sure.

Sitting there coding. Right next to you. Made it to scrum today on time, as usual.

That PR will be ready for code review this afternoon. Hoping someone mentions my efforts in the upcoming performance review. In our weekly planning, we went over how important it is to have that one thing done by ... whatever.

When I took this job, it seemed like a great opportunity. Had high hopes of making friends or meeting someone special. This city has not been kind to me though. I'm alone all the time. When you all leave here today, I know you have wives, kids, significant others... I see it on your Facebook. Many of you socialize outside of work together. I'm happy for you. But at the same time it makes me feel worse about myself.

Maybe I'll work late again. I have nothing to go home to. I'm so fucking lonely, it's torture. I'm in the middle of a city, yet I feel completely isolated. I feel ugly. Even a morsel of attention from someone I'd like to meet would make my day.

I have to put on a show so that you all have confidence in me, but I lack confidence in myself. Almost daily I wonder what the point of existing is if you have to bear relentless pain silently. Nobody to share your life with is no life.

On weekends, I've been staying home more often than before. The sight of couples walking down the street together, holding hands, laughing, is a sight I almost cannot bear. My heart is poisoned. I feel resentment... shame.

If I were to die tomorrow, I would at least know that I probably accomplished all that I could achieve. A few people would be sad for a short while, but the unfortunate truth is most people would not. It'd be something they bring up over coffee. What is the value of my life I wonder. Can't be that much.

If you ask me if I wrote this, I'll pretend I don't know anything about it.

But I'm sitting right over there. Dealing with this.

Cameras were assigned randomly on a week by week basis and complaints also dropped when cameras weren't worn, so public perception is an unlikely explanation.
Privacy International: How Bulk Interception Works
" All-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) was identified in 1901 individuals who donated a kidney during 1963 through 2007 with a median follow-up of 15.1 years. A control group of 32,621 potentially eligible kidney donors was selected, with a median follow-up of 24.9 years. Hazard ratio for all-cause death was significantly increased to 1.30 (95% confidence interval 1.11-1.52) for donors compared with controls. There was a significant corresponding increase in cardiovascular death to 1.40 (1.03-1.91), while the risk of ESRD was greatly and significantly increased to 11.38 (4.37-29.6). The overall incidence of ESRD among donors was 302 cases per million and might have been influenced by hereditary factors. Immunological renal disease was the cause of ESRD in the donors. Thus, kidney donors are at increased long-term risk for ESRD, cardiovascular, and all-cause mortality compared with a control group of non-donors who would have been eligible for donation."

This is all fine and good - but it would be nice to know which one's work well, which are robust, and which one's are 'pro level' - without have to experiment with each one.

It's really hard to tell these days.

After some experience with node.js - I'm weary to pluck anything that's not in the 'top 10' most established frameworks.
Drafting 18-year-olds: well, they are less likely to have employment in strategically important industries, they are less likely to be supporting a family, and they are seldom in mid-college, i.e. to be held aside for a commission upon graduation. Those, that I can think of, were the three big sources of deferment in the WW II draft.

They are also approaching peak physical fitness, both as to capacity for difficult physical work, and to the ability to recover from severe trauma.

[Edit: one should probably not exaggerate the idealism of draftees. Maybe it was there in WW I, but the accounts of WW II and since suggest that it fell off.]

I'm going to try this and return with some feedback in the thread.
That has nothing to do with 3G, it is just WiFi.
I would argue that, for a lot of sites, plain HTML + CSS + little JS functions is the right choice, because building stuff in plain JS is more painful than with frameworks. Having to do it in plain JS makes you think more carefully if you really need this JS. (At least, it does that for me.)

Also, the site loads so much faster, esp. when HTTP/2 is not an option for you (because your hosting does not support it or whatever).

I won't argue, though, that a complex web app should be built on a proper framework.
Doesn't seem like there's any big announcement. A bit disappointing really. Audio quality was also fairly poor.
Thanks for giving some specific examples of risc-v emulators. I was curious if using an fpga or emulator based solution (assuming it could fit in a rack enclosure) would be acceptable for the Fedora team, or if they wanted actual bare-metal risc-v hardware.
Do you know who’s making the biggest profits? (Not your favorite tech company)
Sure :)

PHP 7 is very improved and can stand up to most other langauges now I think.

Facebook and Slack are also built on PHP.

I think asking what tools people use is probably the wrong question though. You can build successful projects with most modern languages. It's more about your style of coding I think. My style is extremely minimalistic in effort and pragmatic. Not a lot of testing either.

Thanks for the feedback on Johannesburg! You can click some of the values as they're editable. Others are from international data sets (like racial tolerance and free speech).
It is not over, what I pointed at IS racism.

This is not an incident however, this is happening all over Europe. Police are hesitant to reveal real rates of crime, Dutch police advising victims not to press charges because the Northern-African suspects are known to make your life miserable. Calling statistical profiling racial profiling instead etc.
Java had the same issue in the beginning. Then time and money made many disappear. Now it is Spring and JSF. The hundreds of other frameworks have largely disappeared .
Ask HN: Should board members also be investors/shareholders?
It seems that when a major investor provides cash they also put a director on the board.

Does this create a conflict of interest?

e.g. This HBR article alludes to Enron's board still buying shares at the time of Enron's demise: https://hbr.org/2002/09/what-makes-great-boards-great

Should you have board members without any investment? Does this help with their role as an independent source of advice & direction, or does it end up with them being disassociated and uninterested?

Is it an expectation that board members, when appointed, should be provided with stock opportunities?

What's your experience been? I would like to hear the viewpoints of both founders, investors and board members.
Do you have any good articles, books or reference material on this subject?

You need organisation. Which is again time/money/resources.
The words "price" and "cost" do not appear once in the cited document on public opinion about national railway services.

I'm deeply skeptical that a 93% drop in complaints is solely down to bad police officers playing nice for the cameras.

This is easy enough to show. And it is the most obvious and natural conclusion. Your skepticism is fine, but I'm confused why you can't understand my lack of it. In my experience cops are trying to get away with anything they can.

The presumption of innocence needs to be a two-way street, surely

Nonsense! Being a police officer is not a right. I don't have a "presumption of innocence" regarding my job. I have to actively prove I'm doing it well. Same goes for cops.

I didn't think they were equated. I got rather a sense of exasperation that javascript includes them at all.

A thousand times this. When I started at my first professional gig, I had to learn their language (Perl) from scratch. So I sat down for two solid days and dug through perldoc until I knew my way around. Two months in, I'm explaining the subtleties of Perl's syntax and behavior to senior developers who've been coding in Perl for 5+ years.
Yes, HL had a better story than most FPS, but I don't think this is why it was hyped.

It simply delivered one of the best modding possibilities ever.

You bought HL and every week you could buy a gaming magazine with 5 new mods. Most of them crap, for sure, but it felt like paying once and getting new stuff all the time.

I never had a game installed for so long and played the "main game" for such a short time.

HL², on the other hand, I played for the story only, never installed any mods or something, but maybe I was already to old to run after this half finished games, haha.

You know, I hear those stories - that hospitals won't work as hard for you if they know you are a donor. Yet I've not seen any numbers on this. The same folks usually state things about an open casket and other such things. I'm guessing it happens, but I'm also guessing that most times, this isn't on the Doctor's and Nurses's minds in an emergency. Besides that, one can have some policies that help negate this: For example, no financial kickbacks.

I suspect that if organ donation is widespread, it becomes much more normal, and this would cease to be an issue/rumor at all. And I do think the OP is correct - the bigger problem is families and religious views more than folks simply letting people die.
> I suspect the best/healthiest ecosystem is probably somewhere in between that of Ruby and JavaScript. Rails may have ultimately hurt Ruby by its dominance, just as the current volatility in JavaScript tools seems to drive some people away (or at least add frustration).

I think this description matches the Python web ecosystem quite well. Historically there were the Z(ope)-ish projects, which still exist and are being used (and they work quite nice); Django obviously dominated for a long time, but in more recent years some healthy competition ensued (Flask and it's highly modular approach for example, but also Pyramid), which resulted in a lot of reworking and improvement for all frameworks. Django now vs. Django 2010 is a vast difference in developer and user friendliness. Some specialized frameworks popped up (Tornado comes to mind), but overall there isn't a heavy fragmentation of the ecosystem (bad) but no one dominator either (bad).
If you've allowed your code to grow so far that refactoring is impossible, you have bigger problems to fix than a messy codebase.

The FPGA based RISC-V hardware that I already have is much slower, has much less RAM and is in other ways more limited than QEMU. OTOH what's missing from QEMU is virtio support.

However none of this is relevant for Fedora builders, which must be 19" rackable server hardware. This is a non-negotiable condition from the Fedora project itself, and also quite understandable because they don't want to be managing flaky dev boards. (For those interested, we solved this for armv7 initially using Calxeda hardware, and later using aarch64 hardware running in 32 bit mode).
Hello world Google
Its nice that there is one (fairly) obvious choice to go for unless you have specific needs.
My point is that in Western Europe police is being accused of racism because they employ statistical profiling.

Which is then called racist by its opponents.
Doing an IT integration with a French bank? No thanks. Aren't they still using SOAP?

As far as 3D, that 'service' is a pain. A consumer has to call their bank to 'enable' the service and do silly things like wait for pin codes in the mail to activate their cell phones and just various "security" theater. France has the highest rate of credit card fraud rate in Europe so even with all of that bureaucracy, it still has a huge problem.

In terms of in person credit payments, Sum Up (sumup.fr) is the very best. Low fees, no forced connection to a specific bank. I use them for a small hotel business we have in the Luberon.

I think it's a big feature to not have to work with French banks on anything. Their processes are stuck in the early 1990s: almost everything security related is done by mail, enabling things like international bank transfers online takes an inordinate amount of paperwork. Then they charge you a fee to actually have a debit card. For our business card, we're paying something around €15 per month per card.

Also Stripe supports Bitcoin and Apple Pay (both web and mobile.)

I admit I have strong loyalty to Stripe, they make all-based options look like fax machines by comparison. I'd rather my dev team be spending time of features that increase sales rather than wasting time on rusty bank integrations. Other benefits of Stripe include the fact that PCI (or the French equivalent is covered -- my own systems don't have to worry much about it, so there is a lower cost of ownership in terms of infrastructure requirements.) Finally, if you're an enterprise at scale, Stripe offers volume discounts.

Everyone obviously has variables in terms of business model so Stripe might not be the best option for some businesses, but in many cases, they are a huge win.
I guess one can't assign value to moral dilemma, namely zero (0) and one (1). Zero be the death, one - life.

This kind of moral 'spectrum' is highly biased and forces you to assign 'bigger' value to people that you really know nothing about.

In this case - athletic male would be a preference to save, over elderly woman, but that elderly woman could have been Marie Curie, and in case the vehicle is driving 60Km/h towards the random and unknown crowd, one (or machine) can't know the details.

This is the same as 'Would you kill a jew to preserve great german reich?' question. It's biased and can't be determined by defining a moral compass, or taking statistical example as training set.

Don't let people's opinions about languages get the best of you. In the end you need to use what you are comfortable with, as it is about results first, then about optimization. If you're comfortable with PHP, great, use that. If you're comfortable with Python, also great, use that.

Interesting: when I combine your comment with the GP's comment, I start wondering about the recurring revenue aspect of Azure.

There seems to be three types of Windows Server licenses you can purchase [1]. Assuming a price differential $50 per month between Linux/Windows as GP states.

I don't know exactly what would be the server license you would purchase if you got the actual license. But after month 20, even after the 41% discount - lets round it out to 50%, you have paid more than a one-time payment for the Essentials server. After month 36, you have paid more than a one-time payment for Standard server. It takes a while to get to the DataCenter server (~20 years), and I honestly don't know enough to figure out which use case matches which license type, but if someone can manage with the Essentials server (touted as being useful for small businesses up to 25 employees), then you are now paying, just based on difference between Linux and Windows, a perpetual excess fee over getting a Windows server after about 1.5 years for Essentials and 3 years for Standard.

Obviously, on the cloud you get a lot of extra features, including not having to pay the cost of server maintenance. But for the traditional customers GP is referring to, that might well be a sunk cost. (E.g. you need your sysadmin anyway because of other internal stuff)

However, this statement from GP might actually make a lot of sense:

> The only explanation I can think of for this is that they probably want to compete on price with AWS, while keeping profits from their traditional customers high.

If, like is usually mentioned here on HN, you probably wouldn't go with Windows for server related stuff anyway if you just started out, this does seem like an excellent golden goose for MS - keep your traditional customers within the Windows ecosystem without really doing a whole lot for them in terms of competitive pricing, and in addition turn your one time revenue generating software (Windows server license) into a recurring revenue generating software.

Having said that, I suppose this also means it is generally easier for AWS and Google to compete on price, because MS cannot allow this pegging (Linux vs Windows comparison) to get too wide because you would get comments like GP's.

Is that a reasonable analysis?

Thanks for the note. I've got a lightning talk at the upcoming November LLVM Dev meeting where I'll give an update (and should be refreshing my patches and updating on the llvm mailing list the next few days). Sadly the proposal Colin Schmidt and I put together for a RISC-V Birds of a Feather session was rejected, but I imagine there'll still be an informal discussion between a group of interested people on the "corridor track".

I discussed this issue with a GCC developer at the LLVM Cauldron in Hebden Bridge a few weeks ago. He pointed out that although it's understandable the UC Berkeley regents balk at the idea of exclusive copyright assignment, the terms of the assignment do allow you to receive non-exclusive rights back with a 90 day notice period. Why it's structured in that way I'm not sure. I would hope there's a legal reason relating to the FSF's ability to fight copyright infringement, rather than a simple desire to discourage dual licensing.
