Right? They don't necessarily need their own army, but they need some military might with vested interest (whether through treaties or outright monetary payments or culture or whatever) in their sovereignty.

I've been thinking about it lately with regard to Trump's talk of isolationism and withdrawal from NATO and whatnot. There are predictions that Russia will annex more Eastern European states, but at some level if the state can't protect itself what business does it have being considered one? That's kind of the only real obligation or definition of the state.

Those countries are currently protected by the US, so they are currently filling that obligation, but I'm not sure I see why it's in my interest as an American to enforce this arbitrary political line. We don't have much cultural history or overlap with them. It seems in their and the rest of Europe's best interest to band together through treaties to protect themselves.

I know this comes across as "might makes right", which I don't agree with at the local level, but at the sovereign level I'm beginning to think that's all that matters.

The worst for me, is when I get account creation notifications for a given site, and can't even contact anyone to correct it, etc...

I don't use this app, but I do use 1Password, and have thought about why I use something in addition to Keychain. What it comes down to for me is that I can keep other stuff securely in 1Password beyond just notes, and it's indexed and smart and everything. I actually find that I use it more for those other things these days. Additionally, it has had sync before Keychain had good sync, and I control it (and more importantly, can back it up on my own).
It's not much of a fix at all. Very few of the people in prison are there for either possessing or trafficking in marijuana: http://m.gazette.com/legalization-didnt-unclog-prisons/artic....

In Colorado, drug-related charges are only down 23% post legalization. Of course, marijuana charges rarely resulted in jail time to begin with, so the impact on prison population is a lot less than that.

Even releasing every drug prisoner would only have a modest effect on incarceration rates: http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/releasing-drug-offenders-.... It would drop the prison population by about 15%, but we would still have ten times the incarceration rate of Denmark.

Ask HN: Workplace wide desktop based health reminder software
I am wondering if there is any software available that encourages healthy habits for employees sitting all day at workstations? i.e. software with hourly reminders to get up and walk/stretch, perhaps with stretching exercise animations etc? The perfect solution would have a learning algorithm that uses likes/dislikes to let the employees customize what stretches etc and include options for people with physical disabilities or mobility issues. The stretches should also be specifically to counteract effects of long term sitting. Customization is key to prevent it from being perceived as intrusive or an annoyance, though its use would be voluntary. (I personally think this could be a small startup idea for someone. I am a civil servant and workplace health related to sitting is in vogue. Standing workstations have started to be provided with a doctor's letter or a worplace assessment. I bet a low cost department or corporate wide license could generate some entrepreneurial soul a steady supplemental income. Bring a physiotherapist/occupational therapist friend on-board as a partner). I am not an entrepreneur so if I have thought of it, someone must have done it already...
I have recently moved to Miami from the UK. I am not enjoying the low-density lifestyle.

The lack of useful public transit (4 hours for a 20 mile trip because of cross scheduling). It feels like I live inside a ring of steel and rubber - if I want to leave my local area after work it is 2 hours for a 15 mile round trip.

No clustering of shops that generate footfall which builds a sense of community and opportunity for new business - drive to shop, buy thing, drive away. There is no discovery.

I haven't owned a car in the UK for 10 years, now I need one to buy groceries.

I do appreciate that I could move somewhere else and seek out those things in other communities but I am tied to my geography by work. If I was here long term I would certainly try and move jobs to get better quality of life.

I understand it's frustrating, but the license is there for an entirely different purpose, same with the email. Not to be heartless, but if they took the time to read the license, I would hope they understand then what the license is actually for any why emailing the person at the end is not a good idea for solving a problem related to a product that is not the licensed product. They're building up hope for themselves and then just getting themselves frustrated when it turns out they made a mistake, and that's not really fair on the licensee's part, especially when service manuals in the car are usually pretty clear on the means for support.

My last job was managing the support for a smaller university, and every so often we'd get people who just searched "Help Desk" and somehow stumbled onto our University Help Desk phone number. They'd get insanely frustrated when, rather often, we were completely unable to help them because the product was too niche or specific for my technicians to even begin to know how to troubleshoot; we had low enough call volume that the free publicity for the school after helping strangers more than offset the time spent solving a problem that wasn't ours to solve. But when the callers would get really upset and disgruntled, I'm not entirely sure what they expected, especially since my technicians would make it perfectly clear that we weren't a generic Help Desk, we were specific to a university. I have plenty of sympathy for them not being able to get good support through the correct channels, but when you know you're not at the right place and just hoping, it doesn't seem fair to peg blame on the people you know are the wrong people to contact.

Edit to reflect your edit:

I would imagine that the part that reads "THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,..." should give away that this is not for support. Also that it doesn't read like a support document at all, and that it's not included in the car's support manual, and that the email doesn't mention Toyota at all. If they email that address from that page, they're not reading the file, they're just scanning for an email address. I'm not saying people who do this are idiots or anything of the sort - as someone who loves helping with tech issues, I sympathize and even empathize after having crap service from many companies. But the people are creating their own disappointment.
>I would really appreciate a response even if it was some form letter thing to the effect of "I just make a small component that happens to be used in your car, kind of like the people who make the screws in your car. Please contact your car manufacturer directly."

I work for a small company whose name is reminiscent of a popular Microsoft product. We get a non-trivial amount of tech support-type questions pertaining to it. At first you either help them or politely explain to them that they have the wrong company ... after a while it's just noise.

Thanks you very much for your feedback. Glad to hear your just about to hook up with a mentor. I may have given the wrong impression / not been very clear in my last post. It would be more geared towards a founder starting out in an industry but looking for particular help from an industry professional.

As far as the cost concept goes, as we loosely based the concept on the way Code mentor works we were looking at their pricing model. if you have a mentor in the sense you are doing they don not charge like that!

I take your point on board especially about the 'wantraprenurs'. I have bumped into people like that alot in my time.

Thanks again for the thoughts.

Depends on the cost. If cost were not a concern, everyone would take a private cab.

And if 1 occupant per 2-ton-vehicle becomes the norm, dense cities will implement congestion pricing or surtaxes to force multiple occupancy or public transport usage - if 1 million driverless taxis try to deliver people into the square mile of the City of London, everyone will have a bad time. (Ditto for Manhattan, SF, downtown Boston, Hong Kong Midtown etc.)
>One way to fix would be ...

Trust me, that wouldn't fix it. As someone who works for a company whose name resembles a popular Microsoft product, putting in disclaimers (in our case on our support contact form) doesn't help one bit. They don't care.
Yes and no. Yes we need courts and no, we can choose them (unlike now). Same for enforcement.

I can't say I can really disagree with anything you've said. Good points all around. I mentioned how I use it elsewhere but I also mentioned that it may in part be a goldfish effect where I'm just being sloppy and using whatever is there and more.

Speaking of Chrome... I know of at least one browser that can avoid keeping every tab active and running but despite the cost, those tradeoffs Chrome makes lead to (in my opinion) a snappier experience.

On a related note, I know using Safari can dramatically improve battery life and may have some improved resource usage/performance characteristics but I've never been able get fully used to it without getting frustrated. It feels like death by a thousand cuts. For example, I can't tell if the dev tools are much worse or I'm just not understanding them the way I do Chrome's and Firefox's.

I have to disagree here. I spent some time in Dhaka recently and they have some of the worst traffic problems on the planet, through a combination of incredible population density, lack-of-infrastructure, and partisan-political strong-arming.

Everyone suffers because of it, whether they are actively utilising the roads or not - because the people who are using the roads are their customers/staff/suppliers/whatever. If half of my staff can't get to work on time, my business suffers. If my customers can't get to me, or don't feel the time investment is worth it (I've done 3km in 3 hours in Dhaka), my business suffers.

Losses from Dhaka's traffic nightmare:

That's not a compilation of articles. That's the way I explain it to my girlfriend (who does not know anything to computer science and machine learning) what I do, with simple and fun words (by no way, I want to be precise : There are way more articles who do it better than me.). That's a way to be more familiar with basic vocabulary of ML, to show there is no magic and that ML can be interesting.

I hope that would help people to discover ML and it will attract more people to it.

s(k) is the function for "The number I should choose if my opponent chooses k" [1]. We arrived at the formula by asking "what is the best number for us to choose assuming our opponent chooses k?".

Now, obviously a smart opponent would not choose a number k where k != s(k), because s(k) would be a better choice. So the only numbers it makes sense for him to choose would be fixed points of s(k), points where k = s(k). And the smartest thing for me to do in that case would be to choose s(k), which just so happens to be equal to k.

[1] which may be more or less than s(k), e.g. if my opponent chooses to always redraw, i.e. k=1, it should be the same as if he chooses to never redraw, k=0, and we expect for both cases s(k)=0.5 < 1 (and it indeed is)

Doctaly app won't heal the NHS – it will damage it more
Sure, but you also (I'm assuming) would not confuse an open source/individual email for a corporate representative email. And would subsequently not email a Toyota related bug to joe@lovesopensource.org.

When someone randomly throws an email in a direction completely irrelevant to their issue, they are just grasping at straws. It would not be unreasonable to assume they've tried 20 other emails before or after this one, where most are likely to be more relevant to their issue.

If that person doesn't know the difference, any response you could send them would be of no help nor comfort, and the risks of continued questioning once you've opened that box is simply not worth it.
I think some clarifications are in order. Do you mean internal software developers or 3rd party developers? What do you mean by support, to what end (happier devs, better code quality, lower costs)?

I think it's going to entirely depend on what type of app you have. Much like your parent comment, my experience with building an app was that very little code could actually be shared.

Hi,

I'm the author. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

This library allows you to run a variety of linters as part of go test. It also supports whitelisting false positives. It reduces the need for build scripts, makes CI integration easy and lets projects enforce linter usage without extra scripts. I built it while working on our mobile app (which is written in Go) and have found it useful so far.

The below example test will check for gofmt usage, run go tool vet --shadow, golint, errcheck, gosimple and gostaticcheck

import (
"testing"
"github.com/surullabs/lint"
)

func TestLint(t *testing.T) {
if err := lint.Default.Check("./..."); err != nil {
t.Fatal("lint failures: %v", err)
}
}

Please let me know if you find this useful and if you'd like any features added/removed/modified.
