I've got pretty much the same hardware but it's got 2xSSDs for iscsi storage.

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. It's a good learning exercise too when you consider anything that impacts my son accessing XBox Live is essentially mission-critical in this house.

When I replaced my ISP supplied router with it (BT Home Hub 5) I immediately saw better performance and less latency. Unfortunately I forgot they deliver their premium sport channels over IPTV/Multicast so it was a couple of days learning that but i've acquired a new skill for my CV, so hey-ho.

BTW if the processor is like mine the 2.4ghz thing is the burst clock, it normally idles are 800mhz, which is important as the box is fanless.

It depends. In many cases you would be right, in many other cases you wouldn't.

It depends on many factors:

- what is the problem? (some problems are really hard, some problems are trivial and just seem hard)

- is developer experienced enough to build own solution?

- are existing solutions good or badly written?(I often refrained from using existing solution when I looked on bloated code in it).

- is solution suitable to project? ("too much bundle size", "doesn't support X", "not too configurable", "too slow", "too hard to use").

etc.

Actually, British passengers seem to be the second-most happy railway users within EU. [0]

I'm from the happiest country of railway users (Finland), and I can tell you that also here, lots of people complain about the national railway service, both about reliability, speed and price. ([1] is a joke on announcements of VR, the train operator, about four seasonal outages in train service due to spring, summer, autumns and winter (clockwise).)

And the (government-owned) railway company here offers train travel that is more expensive than in Britain (just checked my most recent trip, 37 € is the cheapest fare for a 250 km distance that is equivalent to London-Manchester).

I think police-worn video will reduce the amount of abusive policing.

But I'm making a big assumption there. I'm assuming that the police know that they're being abusive, and don't want the public to know how they're policing.

What happens if the police are in fact proud of what they do? Convinced that it's the right thing?

For one example see how some police seem to go to maximum escalation at the earliest opportunity. They do this in the name of "officer safety", but ignore the increased danger it poses to members of the public.

You can get access to security cameras, but you'll have to go hunting a bit. Some cameras are operated by local government, but the vast majority are run by privately and you'd need to track down each operator and request the relevant material. Depending how long its been they may or may not still have it, and I imagine despite the legal requirement to provide access a lot of people will initially refuse to go trawling through their CCTV archives to find the relevant material.

It's generally not good idea to run two startups at the same time. Especially as a solo founder and especially if the two startups aren't related to each other.

However, in practice different operators will have different standards, which makes it more complicated:

CCTV in Britain is not all its cracked up to be, on the negative and the positive side. Even if the operator was competent, and there was coverage of the area, I doubt in a conflict with a police officer that you'd get much out of it, most of the time, you'd need the sound, and higher quality footage, to get much of a sense of the situation.

I agree, with the caveat that this will only be effective as long as there's some kind of penalty for the camera getting turned off or 'breaking'. This seems to be a recurring theme, wherever they get deployed. One example is the police killing of O’Neal in Chicago in July. The officer involved there had his camera turned off. This might have been an issue with training the officer with the equipment, but it's hard to truly know.

A separate issue is that these body cameras need to be deployed universally or they lose credibility and effectiveness. One example of this is Korryn Gaines' death in Baltimore in August, where there is some question of whether the police were wearing bodycams during a raid after a 7 hour standoff at the woman's home (she was armed). The police wouldn't confirm there were any bodycams present until a photograph was found which showed a bodycam on one of the officers at the door to the woman's apartment at some point during the standoff. The police claimed then that none were present for the raid, and only a few support officers outside were wearing them.

The problem here isn't whether they were or weren't wearing the cameras in that particular incident, or whether there was anything suspect about the police' performance there. The problem is that it is completely _possible_ for the police to cover up events that the bodycams are supposed to provide accountability for by simply refusing to admit that there was a camera in use until someone shows up with a photograph. I don't believe that's what happened in that case, but I do think it's plausible that some police department will eventually do this to avoid public scrutiny during some embarrassing or controversial event.

I'm not really certain how we could make police accountable, in a fair fashion, for instances where the equipment legitimately fails. I think some penalty here should be on the department instead of individual officers, but I'm not sure what that punishment should be. Equipment failure in the field isn't unheard of, but if checks are performed before going on duty and there is regular maintenance, then it should hopefully become a rare occurrence, and even more rare for it to occur during an event where such a record could provide substantial testimony to the police's behavior during some situation. I'm sure the tech isn't completely stable, yet, but solid reliability needs to be one of the highest priorities for any such program.
I ignored any "social value", gender or age concerns in answering. It thinks I had a preference to save the elderly but otherwise ended up precisely on the center-line in most issues.

My rules however were simple: Avoid swerving, kill the people in the car over people outside all other things considered. If pedestrians are running the light they get less sympathy but I'm not going to swerve to hit them.

Forget the pets, why would anyone want to save them? Apparently some people did.

Also: How does a car know if someone is a "criminal" anyway and what does that mean? Does that mean a released felon would be "picked" to be run over if it face-detected them against a database of known persons? Criminals don't run around in stripes with bags of loot!
> The presumption of innocence needs to be a two-way street, surely?

Why? Presumption of innocence is not a feature of any normal human relationships; it's a special restriction we place on the way the government relates to us. What is the benefit of extending the presumption back to the government? The police are allowed to take your money, rough you up, or kill you if they choose. We can't do that to them.

OK, based on the comment thread I'm now trying this:

This isn't hard.

First prioritize the car occupants. The _whole_point_ of the device is to drive them.
Second, don't swerve off course to make value judgements on who should live. That is just murder.
Third try to minimize loss of life it all else is equal.
Save cats and dogs where you can of course but they can't even be the priority.
Close to 100% when approaching infinity.

Of course the more important question is how soon it will be abandoned. Considering Google is currently advocating Web Components with Polymer as the future of the web (google "PRPL" for the details) I think Angular 2 is technically dead on arrival.

However Google has a tendency never to settle on a single solution (see TypeScript vs Dart vs Go, Hangouts vs Allo vs Duo, Android vs ChromeOS and even Orkut vs Google+). So they will probably keep Angular around until they come up with something new.

That said, Google has a tendency to yank out support as they see fit in the name of progress (e.g. how Angular 1 dropped IE8 support on the spot). So I wouldn't expect any obvious warning signs in advance to Angular 2's eventual demise.
Samsung Touchable Ink
Hmm, does anyone know how it compares to Ansible? It looks similar at a first glance.
Absolutely.
Sure, minimize loss of all life where you can of course. But the purpose of the device is to protect the driver. If it can't even manage that it's broken.

A possible approach is to let developers new to a framework on a prototype or toy project first, and, very important, throw away that prototype.

Yes, that means you might have to wait two or three weeks longer until you get started with the real project, but the result will be so much better.

But that's one of the prices you pay for using an immature technology. For a more mature one, you could read a book on successful usage pattern of the technology.

He's saying that cameras may reduce complaints by 90%, probably because people think that if there was a camera involved and the cop did something wrong, then he would be punished for it, or alternatively if he didn't do anything wrong, then he wouldn't be. Either way, that person probably thinks it's not necessary to file a complaint.

The issue is that for one, the person may be wrong. Cops rarely get punished. And second, the complaints may drop by 90%, but the abuses may not drop by nearly as much. Let's say maybe they drop by only 20%.

So in practice, this could lead to an overall drop in police abuse, but not by nearly enough to cover all the abuses. However, now it seems the vast majority of people won't even complain about most of the abuses, so those abuses will remain hidden/unpunished, unless you expect the police chiefs or some other oversight body to watch all the videos and then decide for themselves when to punish the cops (which should probably happen - or at least have a "police behavior alert system" that notifies the oversight bodies by scanning the videos).
The trailer looks quite spectacular but here's a comment from Roger Ebert that nuances things a bit

"I have to wonder if a calmer, more reflective tone might have benefited the project in the long run. Anyone who already agrees with the movie's arguments likely won't have any problem with its methods, but a larger opportunity to open minds might've been lost somewhere."
I followed exactly the same line of reasoning except that I did swerve to save people crossing on a green light at the expense of people on a red light.
The reasoning being something like: "The passenger of the car should absorb the risk of a car failure, not pedestrians. In the case pedestrians must die, protect those who follow the rules if possible."

Incidentally my answers meant I always killed women instead of men...
I wondered what the ethnicity of the person raided was, and of course he's black.

That's why there's no shame or embarrassment from the officers. That's why the Black Lives Matter campaign exists: the police have, in this case, done a substantial amount of damage to someone's life but not killed them. And there's not even an acknowledgement of that.
Stepping back for a second and looking at other programming languages.

Not really, unless you only consider languages that have become stagnant (so there are only a few options left and no new ones pop up) or that haven't gained any traction (so there are only a few options around in the first place).

Considering the size and openness of the JS ecosystem (i.e. its strong tendency towards open source at every level) this is perfectly sane and expected.

If you want to pretend there are fewer moving parts, just use a TypeScript/Angular2 boilerplate and hope the single framework solves all your problems.
I don't think anyone should be presumed guilty until proven innocent.
While it is odd that a sheriff might lack some self-awareness on this issue, it's not really an issue WRT police cameras.

That the cops have a 'bullet proof vehicle' is not necessarily a problem in and of itself. It's presence does not violate anyone's rights, moreover - there actually may be circumstances in which such gear might be useful that we are not aware of.

For example : a couple of times a year, a group of officers may be sent to 'take down' some very violent and armed people. Imagine if your 'daily job' required to you to face massively armed and violent bad guys. Wouldn't it make sense that your employer provide you with the basic means to protect yourself.

I'm not entirely justifying it, rather pointing out that 'having an armed vehicle' is largely outside the issue of whether or not cops change their behaviour, or whether civilians change their behaviour - when they know there are cameras present.
it's efficient because the fast path is a very closed-source binary blob running on the hardware. anything the binary blob doesn't support, is going to be "software switched" as it is commonly called.

It's worth noting here that explaining that a patient can end their suffering is very different from convincing a patient to end their suffering.

Yes, I realise you wrote "convince them that they may end their suffering," but makes little sense. Convincing someone that they may end their suffering would go like this:

"You can end your suffering."
"Can I?"
"Yes."
"Oh."

The presumption of innocence is a legal standard to partially offset the immense might of the state. The prosecutors should need to do a very good job establishing that you actually did something before they can put you in a cage.
