Maybe it would be a good moment to reflect on yourself and analyse why the things I say make you angry. It's all backed up by data and facts. If you would take time to read the source (sorry if you can't read Dutch: the registered number of groups was 661, which is 40% of all municipalities) you wouldn't respond like that. The NRC is a very reliable (but a bit progressive liberal) newspaper.

I don't care about the US. This story is about The Netherlands and the "miracle" of empty prisons. I don't say you shouldn't feel safe, but I'm telling that things don't seem to be improving at least.

Unless you live in Amsterdam?
Do you have any solved crime rate statistics, when compared to other countries?

The Police manpower is on par with the UK. And the amount of prisoners / 100.000 inhabitants is on par with Germany. See sources in my other comment.
The main thing is that there's a difference in perspective. In e.g. the US legal system, prison time is punishment, a form of vengeance, of paying your debt to society. (and nowadays, a means to get a large slave labor force). In NL and Finland and the like, prison is more like forced rehabilitation - it recognises that committing crimes have a reason, and by solving the reason you solve the criminal behaviour.
Saying those things about Muslims, Mexicans and all the other dumb shit (you go Google it yourself) makes him worse than Bush or Obama.

But not as bad as Clinton. Those vicious wars in the Middle East continued and got worse on her watch. In fact, according to the emails leaked by Wikileaks, she actively solicited payments from the Saudi and the Qatari government whilst she was representing the US as Secretary of State. It took Putin to come in and bomb the fuck out of ISIS to turn the tide of the war. Whatever you Americans will suffer under Trump is nothing compared to what those poor people suffered.

You Americans should feel bad about Clinton, Trump and what your government has done, and will continue to do to the world.
I love adults in government.
By sheer coincidence, we had a short vacation to Veenhuizen last weekend. Visited the prison museum, drove past several other prisons (I believe the village has been home to about 5 different prisons over the years). Originally, the layout of the village had the prisons (or other correctional facilities, before they turned it into a prison colony) at the center, and the houses of the guards around it. All the houses have inspiring words on the facade about how good it is to work and help people, and the sizes and designs of the houses were according to a strict hierarchy among the employees. I believe only people above a certain rank were allowed to have some types of tree in their garden.

Extremely orderly, all of it. Nowadays it's far more pragmatic and less restrictive of course, but there are still two prisons in active use.
You miss a huge issue in your analysis: Airbnb rentals are Second places to sleep every night, like hotels. They are vacation rentals. In other words, for almost every AirBnb bed, there is another bed elsehwere in the world lying empty. So people don't get to sleep in these beds otherwise. And this of course means that it's the less-well-off who suffer. And the benefits go to those who can throw their money around, to the detriment of basic human existence.
Actually no, it sounds utopian - closing prisons because crime is low is a good thing.
My parents in NC are in that exact situation. My dad is on disability and Medicaid, and insurance for my stepmom would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 50% of their income. She doesn't qualify for any assistance. Apparently, 377,000 other North Carolinians don't either. And there are 19 other states in a similar position.

Interestingly, this is exactly what you do when you start to work together with a freelancer. First, you give them a small, isolated task. If that works out well, give them more tasks.
Just signed up, it's perfect, the service I never knew I needed but clearly always have.

Is there any time limit on purchases? I'm not paid for a week, I wouldn't want to go through that signup process and have it disappear for whatever reason.
It could still be useful to people running an online shop for example?
Yeah, it was a depressing read for Hillary supporters. I was hoping their models were wrong but they were pretty much dead on almost everywhere. It swung a lot in some places like Florida, but it got Wisconsin right pretty early on. From a geek perspective it was definitely interesting to track.
Agreed! That will probably generate a lot of debate when Breivik comes up for release.
Wow, thanks for mentioning my blog! I got into this using "Natural Language Processing with Python", which is basically an intro textbook for NLP that uses NLTK.

I particularly like that they include example exercises in each chapter, because it can be otherwise challenging to see how particular techniques are useful.

Not sure about trucks but modern SUVs have a good mpg rating. About as good as recent sedans.
Dutch citizen here, this is bullshit. Neighbourhood watches using WhatsApp has nothing to do with a lack of police force, it's simply an "add-on" so neighbours can report suspicious behaviour to others.

> Within ten years these groups will probably grow into armed and organised right-wing groups.

You miss the part where we have very strict gun ownership rules, and very few have guns.

> Thanks for the down votes without knowing the facts.

You are being downvoted because what you provide aren't facts. You linked to a news article about neighbourhood watches, an article about a group of extremists/xenophobes, and an article about Dutch vs German law. None of this proves that The Netherlands is the a "dangerous" country where citizens take matters into their own hands, etc.
I just wouldn't expect to be applying for something / trying to do a test task, where I didn't already have the knowledge.

Work agreements are really easy to modify before you sign them.

And I don't have an employee handbook. I own my own business.
Low solved crimes rates are indeed a problem if that's true (it seems to be, but I'm not sure), but short sentences don't have to be a problem if they're effective at stopping inmates from returning to crime.

The goal should not be to lock people up, the goal should be to prevent crime.
The majority voted for Hillary, by 200,000 votes. Our electoral college system and the Democratic Party not controlling many states due to their own failings at state level politics is what is allowing Trump to win despite losing the popular vote.

There is a deep seated fear of what will happen under Trump, whether that be the banning of abortions, another bubble like under George W Bush, the destruction of trade ties with most foreign countries, etc.

Hell, I'm afraid tariffs caused by the destruction of NAFTA will cause me to have to replace this Canadian software product with my own in short order, and I do not have $300k and skills in HIPPA to do so. Compliance after writing it will cost $40k a year!

Tax wise I highly doubt my taxes will drop, if your making over 6 figures, it may be good for you (the more income you have, the more likely you will save $$$), but if you are a working stiff, expect the earned income tax credit and similar credits for the working poor to go away, and for more regressive taxes to replace lost revenue from the reduction in taxes for those that are very well off.

Additionally, expect all federal transit funds to disappear. No highway repairs or expansions, no federal funds to build mass transit, no investment in any infrastructure besides the wall. Cities will slowly economically strangle themselves in traffic, with no pressure relief valve (grade separated mass transit).

If anything, 10 million people skipped voting this election, and even if they had voted, half of people eligible to vote did not turn out to vote. If we Americans want a better government, we need to hit the streets and fight for a better country. I've been at one rally and one candlelight vigil already today, but I am not expecting much.
This is not true. See https://source.android.com/compatibility/android-cdd.html.

Particularly, the ending paragraph in 3.3.1 which says that you must export ES 3.1 symbols for linking purposes but their implementation is only compulsory up to the level for which the device declares support.

The following section 3.3.1.1 also mentions that Vulkan libraries and symbols must be present for linking purposes but may report zero VulkanPhysicalDevices.

Additionally, there are several qualcomm releases for 8916 nougat (LA.BR.1.2.9-01310-8x16.0).
While it is impressive, do not forget that everything that happens in childhood, projects to your adult life, and not always in a good way.

Japan have so many problems right now: a lot of people with sociopathy, problems with demographics and so on.

While Japan has a unique approach, who knows, maybe lack of supervising and attention at such young age cause such issues.

In my view, Japan is the edge case, and there should be the more balanced approach.

Just because he said some bad words doesn't make him worse than Obama and Bush.

Let's wait and let the guy do his job and then we can comment based on his actions as president.

But having people spamming the net with stupid stuff like moving out of the country is becoming ridiculous.
The rest of the world, whose citizens will see a net increase in buying power and thus wealth, because of the identical supply but reduced demand.

So they'll get richer overall and a part of them will lose their jobs.
They don't call them unit tests though do they?

I take it you are from the Netherlands or living there. I have been in Belgium for some years now.

What's your position on Belgium outsourcing and renting cells in the Netherlands ?
That sounds like either clueless reporting or an attempt at blame shifting.

The heating system of a building is not a typical DDoS target, and it's improbable that somebody living outside of that building had a take against the inhabitants, knew of the right IP(s) for that building, and the effect a DDoS would have.

It's more plausible that the control system was designed so badly that exposing it to the Internet (and the accompanying background noise from port scanners, be it botnets, spammers or IoT malware) caused it to break down.

Then, the operators saw the effect of the misconfiguration and proclaimed it was a DDoS, because you don't get fired for breaking down under a DDoS, as opposed to having miserable IT security in place. This is similar to getting hacked by "the Russians" (or other state-level evildoers) where it is widely accepted that you just can't prevent such incidents.

<Insert battlestar galactica reference> :) [1]

One thing is sure: we won't ever make 100% secure networks. For now, ransomware are few and only on a big scale, but they could indeed become a big problem with IoT. I'm not exactly sure why we need to connect those devices to the internet: sounds like a local network should be enough. And if we want to send usage data to some kind of aggregation service, devices still can issue POST requests to our connected desktop, or be bluetooth connected to our mobiles.

[1] for those who didn't watch it, the battlestar galactica is one of the only human spaceships not destroyed by robots, thanks to the fact its captain always refused to connect the ship on the network
> And then most junior managers never end up seeing it. Took me a while before I did - I liked my boss, even, but then they left and someone new came in, and the difference was night and day. Being able to come into a new place and figure out what details to focus on and what to not, identify common problem areas, identify people to delegate to and trust, get upper-management support for you when necessary, figure out where you're still uncomfortable and how to get you to start stretching yourself there... it's not stuff I knew I was missing. And I could've gone another decade without knowing it, probably!

Perhaps a silly question, and definitely tangential, but do you have resources / pointers on where to learn about these kinds of skills? Or is that what MBA's are for? (sounds snarky but meant sincerely)
Ask HN: How good are 200 or 250 usd/hour rate developer compared to lower tier?
hi, my hourly rate is around 25-30 USD/hour. I really want to increase it, but due to competition on freelancing sites(Upwork),i was not successful. I have completed most of my projects with satisfactory remarks from clients. I really want to know how much difference is there between me and highly paid developers, What makes them better than me(may be negotiation!!)?
p.s. : I am a fullstack web developer and a hobbyist mobile app/game maker. ( I don't want to share my Upwork profile)
Don't worry. Articles people post on LinkedIn rarely are worth reading.
Let's wait and see what will happen. I doubt anything crazy will happen. The mass majority of voters decided to go with Trump ... that means there are bigger problems among the common people.
Ask HN: How do you know when it is time to quit?
I just want to hear what are your telltale signs that it is time to quit the company you work for and search for greener pastures.
Reason why I am asking is because I have seen friends hold on to terrible jobs, and like a very bad relationship, hoping that it would be getting better any day now.
So if there are some experiences shared, I myself can learn a few things, and be able to point my acquaintances in right direction.
I don't think the OP was saying that - they were saying that it's not a technically difficult issue, and they would be fairly right.

In my experience, most large fashion sites can comfortably run on a Magento instance with a fairly simple architecture, normally a small handful of load balanced PHP instances, with a dual read slave / master database configuration.

Fashion itself, however, is a much different beast, being cool, hip, whatever, it takes a lot of skill - to really understand your target market and sell them something they don't even know they want yet.

There are three levels: fibre, fixed wireless and satellite. Satellite is only for those who don’t have anything better available. Start at http://www.nbnco.com.au/learn-about-the-nbn/network-technolo... for more details, but it can be a bit hard finding all the right details.

Wireless can do 25/5 and now, I believe, 50/20. So it’s pretty good, better than ADSL2+ in bandwidth anyway (no idea about latency).
You can set the location of the cache in advanced settings IIRC.

I have a current `docker-compose`-based dev-setup, which I'd like to move out of Docker for Mac because of instability and into a Linux VM.

One dirty detail is that the Docker containers need to communicate with the host machine (the dev-Mac). Would this be achievable with the limited bridge that Veertu supports?
Are you suggesting we should send people to prison for foul mouthing a police officer? And what if they foul mouthed a fellow civilian?
Of course you need to legalize guns, it's to protect yourself from other people with guns!

The only solution to the shootings in the US is to equip more people with guns, you know, for "protection".
Were there other companies that attempted what Stitchfix is doing? Trunkclub and Stitchfix were early movers in this space as far as I am aware and others have copied them.

Didn't get your point regarding whole sellers. As far as I understand this industry, the retailers generally source directly from brands and so does Stitchfix.

"their market position is dependent on their ability to match clothes for people"

That's their core competency though. That's what makes them successful.
> The measure requires that people "make two oral requests, separated by at least fifteen days, and a valid written request to his or her attending physician." It also requires that people be capable of taking the medication unassisted

Why the last requirement? Seems to me like a lot of terminally ill patients wanting to die might not be self-sufficient
I guess companies means "Apple". Trump wanted them to open that iPhone for the FBI and asked for a boycott.
I sure do feel bad about Trump, we brought this guy in named Obama and he just amped up Bush's drone wars, and continued many of his policies. All I want is a non-nanny state government who isn't picking fights with countries we have no business being in. Long term that kinda stuff is what caused the USSR to go broke.

America needs a classic New Deal Democrat to focus on rebuilding our countries infrastructure, so our businesses can succeed. Not on restricting what people do with or to themselves when it has no effect on others.
These are the exactly gems that I am constantly in search of, and thrilled every time I come across one.

This is going to turn out to be a rant, but sometimes it feels like there's a culture of solving problems by a philosophy of "let's throw more money at it, more technology at it, more people, more unnecessary abstraction layers, complexity and bloat - it's bound to be solved eventually". And with enough fire power, it usually is - but at what cost... I'm not sure what the source of the problem is though, and it's not only with code. Many times I struggle to understand certain concepts via professional literature, and when I finally understand them, I'm puzzled as to why they are taught in a way that if I didn't know better, I'd assume a deliberate attempt to confuse the reader instead of making the learning simple, intuitive and fun.

Exactly the same applies to code I've had to refactor and sometimes rewrite over the years. Obviously, some of it has to do with trying to get a product out in crazy schedules which requires making compromises, but I can tell the difference between compromise and "I don't really care" attitude, and I'm talking about the latter. It's a pity though - not only for the one that has to sort out and sometimes clean up the mess, but also for the one that creates it. Things are so much more fun where you care and are passionate about what you do, that I'm sorry for those who are missing out on it.

End of rant. Not sure it belongs here but had to get it out of my system :-)
Ah I see, so their plan was for Trump to win the presidency and for the entire EU to collapse before we make a deal. Sure, let's see how that plays out. Third time lucky?

You can try to ridicule it but it's not going to change the fact that it's getting really big. Because those watches are the official ones that are registered, not some angry dads from the neighbourhood united in a WhatsApp group.

Not sure why I can't reply to you. But we're not talking about corruption or general safety. We're talking about the police giving you a cold shoulder when something does happen.

For no good reason. That's why I said that it's mad.

The economic argument is the only respectable argument against immigration, which is why I focused on it. The only other arguments against immigration that people put forward are racist and/or xenophobic.

Uhh, what are you smoking, Trump lost the popular vote by 200k votes. Republicans control the House & Senate, what I described above is a rosy version of what they have stated is going to occur. Transit funds are going away, likely faster than Bush got rid of them.
Yes, there's homebrew for Linux -- linuxbrew (http://linuxbrew.sh/). I've found it extremely valuable because where I am, "normal" users aren't allowed root access but can compile things in their home directories. Linuxbrew, being a version of homebrew, makes this much easier than doing it manually.
They aren't on upwork, for one thing.
I agree with you that much of the mainstream media showed a bias against Trump through this election. (I feel they had very good reasons to be biased against him, but regardless, should have done a better job of keeping the reporting neutral.) That said, Breitbart and Drudge Report are probably the two most well known right-biased sources in existence (aside from the obviously much larger, but less biased, Fox News). Describing them as not politically motivated seems misleading at best.

We use a similar system which involves:

1. A phone interview to validate the applicants resume.

2. An in-person interview where the applicant is given an hour to complete level 10 of Blockly Maze (https://blockly-games.appspot.com/maze?level=10) after being briefed on the wall follower rule (if they are unaware).

3. Completion of an outside example project in the applicants strongest language, for which they are not paid to avoid non-compete clauses.

This usually is enough to evaluate whether the applicant is embellishing on their resume, capable of analytical thought in a completely alien language, and their ability to deliver a deployable project given specific requirements.
Should a killer get released after 14 years though, after "good behavior"? If we're talking about premeditated murder, you can be pretty sure you're dealing with an individual who doesn't have good behavior.

Second, 14 (or 21) years for murder, really? A life isn't worth a lot anymore these days..
