This doesn't surprise me. US airlines seem like breeding grounds for management silos and the technology is going to reflect that, no matter how much you spend.
Well, there are nicer ways to say it... but still. "I'm Canadian, I live here, I haven't decided yet."

Shared line appearance is a big feature missing from SIP based systems that I find frustrates a lot of users, particularly medical clinics. Nurses are used to the putting a call on hold on line 1, then telling the doctor or whoever to answer the call on line 1.

I've had several travel jobs. Flghts and hotels are very disruptive. I also worked part-time in grad school, so I guess that gave me structure.
This comment breaks the HN guidelines by calling names. We ban accounts that do that, so please don't do that. Also, please don't create accounts for primarily ideological or political discussion—that's not what this site is for.
>You're trying to weasel out of this conversation by blowing out the scope to confuse yourself and others into thinking you had a cogent point or substantial argument. Anyone that lets you re-frame an argument so that you can feel like you've won is doing you a massive disservice by patronizing you.

I actually feel like I've lost at this point, especially because now I've come back after I said I wouldn't. If you came into this expecting there to be a winner, my apologies. I also don't think you actually mean cogent as it is rigorously defined, because if you do, neither of us has a cogent argument. (that is, a well-formed inductive argument) I'm also not trying to weasel out (whatever that means) by acting like I had an argument. I was only trying to say that I'm really not the first person to make this argument and that it's extremely well-trodden ground in the social sciences, and that the social sciences are too often unfairly dismissed by technologists like you and myself. I used to do it a lot too, then I decided to minor in philosophy ;).

>If you want to apologize, do so to yourself for getting wrapped up in such nonsense and for allowing yourself to be manipulated out of critical thinking.

You mean my whole fallacy is wrong?

Just to clarify my argument here and make sure we actually disagree on the fundamentals before we go any further:

Hypothesis: People of color are oppressed in American society in ways that white people aren't.

For the purposes of the following, "fighting oppression" is defined as taking those actions which eliminate structures and attitudes that perpetuate racial oppression, such as supporting affirmative action, properly investigating and if necessary indicting cops that kill people, directly protecting people of color from violence and discrimination, teaching black history in public schools, etc.

Deontological proposition: Not fighting the oppression of people of color violates the categorical imperative. ("act as if your actions were to become universal law")

Utilitarian proposition: We are obligated to fight the oppression of people of color because the human cost of this oppression in bodies is high and consistent and it will decrease if we fight oppression.

My intuition is that you disagree more with the initial hypothesis than my belief that if the hypothesis is correct that action is justified in either of the two dominant moral frameworks, though I could be wrong (in which case it's kind of silly we're still arguing at this juncture). In the interest of focus, would you mind articulating what specifically you disagree with in my specific hypothesis? You'll probably say I'm trying to shift the burden of proof here, and I'll admit that it can have that effect but moreover I've lost track of the actual disagreement between us in all this.
I've never been grilled by either. But the Americans always ask mor questions. Canadians are "welcome home", Americans usually ask a few standard questions to probe my reasons but nothing approaching a grilling. Just a light toasting.

Contrast with Russian customs who looked at my passport and said "Canada? Okay go"
Well a human would know those players by playing against them or watching replays of their games, I am pretty sure AI can do the same and will have a better memory of what are the habits of each individual player it played against or saw their game replays.
> not sure why you object so strongly to this

You have 72 days here. After 2,532 days, you'll understand the strong objection.

Also, the flagging reason was hinted: HN doesn't much like reblogs. This amounts to a reblog.

As you noted yourself, an inquisitive mind would rather land in the original author's channel.
It was fun to see where I could go on my budget - but it listed my originating city twice. I get that people do "stay-cations" but for adventurous travel, probably not. ;)
An even more direct way for the government to push discovery of new antibiotics would be for the government to do the R&D itself. Of course, that would offend certain ideologues.
I implemented a very simple SIP and RTP stack using Ruby. At first it ran terribly, but with some tweaking, and I think running a newer version of Ruby, I got it so that the sound quality was very legible. Not perfect, but good enough. Ruby certainly isn't the best language for it, but it was a good learning experiencing in understanding how the protocol works. For example, I quickly learned what the "tag" parameter does.

Okay, I admit that I have absolutely no idea what software like that costs to build, but surely they could have rebuilt their entire software stack for that, couldn't they?

> Like smoking

Smoking causing cancer was substantiated by some of the strongest correlations in medical science history. Regular smoking increases cancer risk by 60x (odds ratio) in contemporary studies in the US.

I'm not sure where you'd observe something anything strong like that with regards to surveillance, or indeed nearly anything the government does. Even urban air pollution increases cancer risk by less than 2x (odds ratio). Surely eliminating urban air pollution was a huge accomplishment of government intervention. And yet look at how small that O.R. looks compared to smoking.

Smoking isn't "accumulation of risk over time." It's an absolutely horrible thing you start doing to your body immediately.

And maybe this comes to your conflating some pop-psych notion of people being unable to assess risks with other failures of health and well-being. People are physically addicted to smoking; quitting aggravates real pain.

Nobody is "addicted" to government surveillance. In this country, pervasive surveillance could be dismantled with the stroke of a pen, much like closing Guantanamo or mass incarceration of low-level drug offenses.

Why are these orders politically difficult to achieve? I don't know, but risk assessment fallacies aren't to blame.
It'll be interesting to see what new technologies develop to counteract these measures. Adversity fosters growth right?
I anticipated a comment like this one, which is why I explicitly said "for the purposes of this discussion."

You're right, a CTO doesn't usually write software, a CTO manages programmers who write software (or VPs managing teams of programmers, etc). But a CTO generally comes from a coding background, and how much data science do you think a "chief data scientist" is really doing, as opposed to managing other data scientists? People in the C-Suite typically don't really do anything other than manage people managing others in the same background they came from.

I think the spirit of my point still stands, pedantry aside. There clearly exists a commonly used and recognized c-suite role for programmers, whether they use their programming ability hands on or in managing others. It's not at all clear to me that there is a commonly used nor well recognized c-suite role for data scientists that would be distinct from CTO.

As a category of employee and work division, data scientists have not yet become distinct enough from cross-polinated disciplines to have that sort of representation.
I think we need "free trade zones" like they have in some asian countries. If you have a mfg business in the zone, you pay zero or reduced taxes on your produced goods and inventory. Maybe throw in some subsides to help comply with regulations as well. These zones can be spread all throughout the country in economically depressed regions.

These programs should be open to all companies, not just the Teslas and tbe Apples of the world. Governors and Presidents should not intervene on behalf of a single company. That isn't capitalism.
In theory you can achieve a lot in C++.

But C++ is like a large buffet where you can pick from a lot of different abstractions.

Rust on the other hand is not as flexible. But it rather tries to focus in safer abstractions, and provide convenience and coherence around them.

One thing I haven't seen discussed. Would we need some sort of population control with UBI? Even if robots produce all basic necessities for human life, the earth cannot sustain unrestricted population growth, which is a possibility.

I don't know it's true, but I've heard of stories in Brazil where women in certain towns have many kids so they can collect additional welfare benefits for each kid.

Just in time!
Maybe things have changed in recent years but here's some information on what I considered benchmark prices when I was more involved in this kind of thing. I have some background in vulnerability selling and I used to do this for a living (first government, then later tech company bug bounty programs).

The "grey market" prices I've seen (~5 years ago now) from independent researchers, small firms specializing in vulndev for law enforcement / intelligence and the bigger famous security firms go something like this ("black market" criminal markets are similar I hear but I have no first hand knowledge there):

250k would get you a iOS jailbreak (for a recent iOS version)

100k would get you an IE/Firefox/Chrome zero day (though not with a sanbox escape, you'd have to pay separately for a privesc)

~25k for a Linux privesc

For an RCEs in medium popularity services (databases, ftp servers, etc) you'd be looking at something like 10k (or often thrown in free with a bigger purchase or support contract as a good will gesture).

The prices would also change based on the quality of the exploit, how recent the version the exploit targeted was, the amount of exclusivity you want (more for full exclusivity) and whether the research was specially commissioned (if you had asked a firm to look into a specific piece of software the price would be higher). The larger providers also encouraged organizations to sign subscription deals and longer term service contracts that could include free exploits or reduced costs.

That said, there's a lot of information asymmetry in the market so I'd expect a lot of variance in prices.

Acting is a good strategy against weak opponents. I would never try to "Hollywood" against a good opponent, but then I'd never get involved in a big hand against one either.

Against a fish, yeah, I'll ham it up and they eat that stuff. If they're on the edge of a decision, some good acting can push them the direction you want.

I guess I'm agreeing with you -- a pro would never pay attention to my "tells".
It reminds me a bit of Vernor Vinge's "zones of thought" books (sci fi) in which many of our current technological dreams have failed to materialize and cascading failures of brittle automated systems cause logistic collapses that wipe out advanced civilizations.

China Ramps Up Control of Domain Names, Adds New Layer to Great Firewall
If I might offer the author some constructive criticism - this article contains a huge amount of filler, fluff and nonsense, which it descends into at random times in an ADHD-like way. Like the way you use the word "gander" and then suddenly feel compelled to type four paragraphs about geese and pygmy marmosets. This makes it very annoying to read because the reader's flow is constantly interrupted. The liberal use of "um" and the rambling first person narrative style (complete with bizarre roleplay-style actions like "[wriggles interestingly]") combine to present the impression that 1) you do not value the reader's time and 2) you haven't sufficiently distilled what you are actually trying to say.

I suspect this article would read very much better if you deleted it and rewrote it from scratch, omitting the cutesy crap and narrative details about your mood while you were thinking about this problem, and saying only what you need to say.
Yeah, that lawsuit is not going to go anywhere. Apple is not even close to a monopoly.
Turns out it's notifications about their run on ProductHunt, etc. I just got one an hour after closing the tab.
That's not a quote from Trump, but rather a quote from an article describing what he said.

This is what he said:

"When Mexico sends it people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people,"

Now I'm not going to defend the delivery. I don't think Mexico "sends" people in general, but it may happen (e.g. Mariel boat lift).

However, if the message is that bad people from Mexico are getting into the country and that should stop, I don't think anyone could argue that. Could it actually be stopped? Probably not, but it's worth trying.

> You already posted that link, and objections were raised.

And no matter what link I post, someone will have a problem with it. It's easy to find these stats, they aren't new. How about this: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonoberholtzer/2012/07/17/stop... or this: https://www.dosomething.org/us/facts/11-facts-about-racial-d... or this: https://mic.com/articles/96452/one-troubling-statistic-shows..., I could do this all day, but I wont. Those were just on the first page of results. There are stats everywhere about how bad we are.

My definition would be that you are disproportionately less likely to have violent police actions taken against you, disproportionately less likely to be in poverty, disproportionately more likely to go to college, etc. if you are white. While I don't think the stats of these ever will be proportional (nor necessarily should they be), it's clear from everything I've seen that there is what I would define as an unofficial "class separation".

Anecdotally: I have met seen people who "wouldn't hire blacks" or "didn't want no mexican working above any whites". These people are hard to gets statistics on, because they would never admit to being racist. These statistics reflect that hidden reality that nobody would openly admit to.
Thanks a lot! :D
Still, it suffers from a lack of visibility. I'd only heard about it because one of our DB vendors in the past had mentioned integrating with it.

That said, it's had a lot of interesting development in the last few years (e.g. ocelot which tries to hardware accelerate operations via OpenCL).

The problem is that on MacOS you have to run containers in a virtual machine since you're not running on Linux. Crossing the VM boundary with IO can be slow, especially on virtualbox.
That sounds completely rational.

Multiple people I know (from a range of demographics) have talked to me about the concerns I tried to summarize above. None of them would post that here, so I felt obligated to speak up.

(I'm not personally worried about the stuff I mentioned, just weirded out that it is a repeated conversation)
>The ACA was a disaster (of course it was, it was a zillion pages long, written by lobbyists, and few people read it before it was voted on), except for a few features such as coverage for pre-existing conditions.

I understand some broad facets of the law and I don't believe it was a disaster, and furthermore I suspect you don't understand it either - by what basis are you calling it a 'disaster'?
Yeah fair call - it would be a hard one to nail! Keep up the rad work :D

Samsung Reveals Cause of Note 7 Issue, Turns Crisis into Opportunity
Wonder how long it will be until there is a crowdsourced AI winning the World Series of Poker?
I'm currently doing consulting work for That Major Australian Airline and, while I'm rather high up the stack, you do get a sense of the amount of legacy that's built into everything and the monumental effort it would be to migrate all this old stuff to newer infra. I mean, AFAICT there's no database/service to _query_ flights - you have to register a web hook to receive flight data and store it yourself.

New projects are cloud-first, and more and more stuff gets migrated or replaced with equivalents which run in whatever cloud provider. But I can't even imagine how the replacements for all these old legacy services would go down.
Thanks for helping to troubleshoot in the issue. Our frontend lead and VP of Engineering are on it.
Really? all those numbers I've pulled up is anecdote and perception? Interesting. Mind telling me how statistics works again?

I will admit that I don't know if I would argue that the US is majority racist (the op comment does indeed say that). I don't have the stats on that, and I don't legitimately think we could get those. So if that is what you are arguing for, I won't argue against. I'm only arguing that the US has a big problem with racism that we still need to deal with, which is far from solved. Enough that I would consider us a "racist" nation.
That's true, we launched on ProductHunt today and wanted to thank all the people who supported us this way :)

>>a constitutional privacy amendment

That would be the 4th Amendment[1].

I really don't think that Americans have never cared about privacy; I think if that were true, we would have a different 4th Amendment. Instead, I think that the various amendments and overall content of the Constitution serve to limit the power of government, and in that regard, it behooves the individuals within the government to disregard as much of the Constitution as they can get away with, thereby acquiring more power for themselves.

That the American people have allowed the individuals within government to disregard the Constitution so flagrantly, to me this indicates a deep gap between the ideals of our predecessors and the ideals of the current generation. So, it's not that Americans have never cared about privacy, it's just that the people of today don't seem to have the political willpower to get it back.
