I know Americans are absolutely hooked on dystopian scenarios, but please can you just stop for a few minutes and consider everything that is right with the world?

It's really more of a state of mind than objective reality. And BTW feeling like we're constantly on the brink of disaster is exactly where Trump, Thiel, and their merry band of doomsayers would want you to be. It's bad for you, so please, knock it out.

That's pretty much the Hacker's Diet: https://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/
He didn't search his backpack without consent - he asked for, and was presumably given, consent.

There are certainly scenarios where you should consider the police to be your adversary and enforce every right you have to its fullest extent, but choosing your battles is just as important. The police have far more rights to detain a juvenile compared to an adult, and an unaccompanied 13 year old with a backpack at 5am is out of the ordinary. The officer was already starting from a place with a reasonable assumption that the child may be lost or a runaway, in which case he can probably already take him back home (or to the station for CPS to talk to if he's completely uncooperative).

Allowing a quick search to confirm that you're just pursuing a harmless hobby and are not putting yourself in any danger or likely to be reported missing a couple of hours later, seems like the easiest and fastest way to deal with that particular encounter.

> Large companies are judged by the diversity of their employees

And here is the problem - diversity has become a goal rather than a natural consequence of everyone having equal chances.

It's not the lack of diversity that those companies should focus on - much more important is an elimination of any kind of discrimination based on gender/race/religion etc.
I honestly feel loderunner is unappreciated. Cracking game.
The solution clearly isn't to stop making software but the solution also isn't to immediately replace all jobs by a machine. You have people who've worked towards a specialized skillet for most part of their life only to realize that this skill isn't needed anymore. In such situations, we need to come up with mechanisms to help people transition.
I've ended up on a sidewalk turning with snow on the ground. If the sidewalks are the round kinds it seems like that'd be especially easy.
Lol you react like most of us have software deployed in controlled environments.

I create Python libs that are used in so many various configurations by so many people I don't know. They come back and say "hey, I got this stack trace" (in the best case).

Now I have to play the guessing game. Is it me, is it you ? Wrong path ? Permission problem ? Bad conf ? Network is having trouble ? Server is this particular linux version and and there is something important about the SEL setup here ? Oh but upstart/systemd don't behave the same way. Output is redirected here look. Stuff is not the expected encoding. Na it was not a bug but you're file is corrupted. What the heck is this data format ?

Etc, etc.

You thing you though about every single thing ? Your error handling is perfect for all IO ? You deal with all encoding, all user inputs perfectly ? You know all the little OS peculiarities that will make your subprocess run in the exact way you think ?

Of course you don't, nobody is perfect, we don't have infinite resources. But there are infinite ways to fail.

And for many things, you can figure it out with with just your code base and the error because it's a simple cause. But from time to time arrive this terrible bug that is a mix between a strange LOCAL, this particular version of the VM you use but only in one time zone with this env variable set. And for that, yes, a good container with a reproducible bug in the proper env is an interesting idea.

Apparently, you don't ship software that is wildly used enough or you would not be that arrogant.

Deploying on your own 100 servers is hard. Try seing your code deployed on 1000 servers that you don't own, nor configure.
A contract needs a couple of things in order to be valid:

1. A meeting of minds i.e. both parties agree on something.

2. Consideration; usually money. (This is why you sometimes see donated things sold for a dollar.)

When faced with signing a new contract that asks for more of something, I'd recommend asking for consideration of some sort. (1)

"Oh, new contract? Let's talk about my new salary."

(1) At least if you're an in-demand software developer.
They do have pensions and health care but they have to pay for it out of their salary (which also explains the difference in term of earnings).

However at least for Software Engineers (I don't have experience in other fields), the difference is big enough to more than make up for the price of health care and pension and the loss of benefits. The only real problem is the lack of social status which means that it's very hard for a freelancer to get a bank loan to buy an house or an apartment.

Whether you agree with Brexit or not, I think it's safe to say that the way MP's voted will be looked at with as much scrutiny as those that voted for the Iraq war.

My Labour MP supported Remain, and our area voted strongly to remain in the EU, but she has backed the bill, leading to a lot of angry people. It's a reasonably safe Labour seat, but with increasing numbers of young people moving here, I can see her struggling next election.
I think that's it. Needing to share or using someone else's car is seen as a sign of weakness. OK for an old lady maybe. But a Real American rides their own damn car, and pays for their own damn healthcare...

By the way, you don't have to put utilitarianism against disability access.

You just need your utilitarianism to either maximize the the minimum welfare (ie help the least well-off member of society first); or use something like the sum of logarithms of welfares (similar idea).

GOLD: Remains Bullish in Short Term
As a parent of a young child in London there is no way I'm letting my son wander around our area without being within eyesight. There are just too many degenerate members of British society to take a chance with my son's life and welfare.

On the other hand, if we were to ever move to New Zealand where I lived most of my life, or to the town in Poland where my son's mother grew up, this would be an entirely different story.

Anywhere in New Zealand is quite honestly Disneyland compared to the UK (and I am thinking of the 'hard' parts in New Zealand like Māngere or Ōtāhuhu)... and Radomsko in Poland still has some nice forest areas and a lake that is walking distance from the town.

I think the author needs to take into account that there are just some places in the world where you must be on guard and be extra vigilant. This isn't limited to London, for example Cape Town in South Africa or Rio de Janeiro in Brazil spring to mind.

I am however very much aware of the impact my decision to keep my family in London will have on my son's childhood and frankly I would rather move outside of the M25, to say the outer edges of Surrey, where I would feel slightly more at ease but still ever vigilant. Until I can afford to do that, holidays to Poland will have to suffice.

Great tips for young entrepreneurs
> USD 100-120k is the market average

In the US maybe, but given that they're a remote company with people all over the world, they don't necessarily have to live by US standard (especially when it comes to spending!).

40k USD is a VERY good developer salary in Argentina, and I'd bet that in other countries a lower figure might make the cut too. I can definitely understand why they'd hesitate to pay thrice that amount.

I believe it's over 5 times the average salary.
Groundbreaking science is done at the edges of knowledge. Typically the first reports of new phenomena are rather sketchy and not very convincing. What happens is either 1) people can't replicate the results or find a way to explain the results in a more conventional way or 2) Later results support the initial findings and the original discoverer is hailed as a visionary, maybe even winning a Nobel for it. But the first case is far, far more common than the second, so it makes sense for scientists to be very skeptical of new findings.

I agree that in practise, deep learning tend to perform very well. With that said, it is not without limitations. In general, model-based machine learning approaches do not perform as well, but we should not limit our assessment only to performance.

For example in this review: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1605.01138.pdf, a model-based approach is compared against a deep learning approach. It is very interesting to me that even if deep learning performs better, its failure cases are very different than human failure cases (deep learning is not sensitive to "physics illusions"). Whereas the model-based approach is very much in-line with human performance characteristics. Also, on this task (physical scene understanding), deep learning generalises very poorly.
Frankly I found SELinux a little inscrutable and not worth the trouble of learning since I didn't use it at work, despite otherwise being someone who is up for self-education on anything new and interesting.

However the Redhat certified admin and engineer classes cover it with enough practical examples to make any SA functional with the tool. And as a former consultant learning anything people consider difficult whether or not it really is can be profitable. :-)
Actually, what I recall from reading studies of adoption and criminality (it was a few years ago, though, so I don't remember the authors or exact titles to find them) the "the children taken into care at a young age turn into bad people just like their parents anyway" has a truth in it - if you analyze the heritability of antisocial behavior and criminality (and the heritability clearly exists) to see how much of it is e.g. "nature vs nurture" or genetics vs environment and socioeconomic status, then about half of it still remains in case of adoption to a 'low risk' environment.

One plausible explanation for some of that, which wasn't analyzed there, but has some basis in other research is that things like risk-taking behavior or being prone to addiction are quite genetic.

But in any case, for many(most? all?) "moral" characteristics saying that they're only about "poverty, inequality and values" is wishful thinking. Yes, they are in part about that, but they are also in part about genetics; the answer to "nature or nurture" pretty much always is both.
My uncle, aunt and their two children moved to the US for a few years a long time ago, and had the same happen: First day in a new neighbourhood, what do you do but have a walk around to see what it's like? The police assumed their car must have broken down, and on hearing they'd intentionally set out to walk around the neighbourhood, they seemed to imply they didn't think it was safe and offered to drive them home.

It satisfied a few European stereotypes of America all in one go.

I'm pleased to have visited various parts of the US since, and confirmed it certainly doesn't happen everywhere, but I've also experienced first hand just how pedestrian hostile some areas are...

Two things: there's a link (labelled "web") for that right under the title on this page, it's a built-in HN feature. It doesn't work very well, at least not for me on this story (and the last couple of tries I did for, say, the past month).

Also, the title could do well with adding "In Kentucky" or something, to be less click-baity. Perhaps that's enough to make it not worth clicking, for many.

California labor code explicitly contains exceptions to the work you do, which basically says that any work you do on your own equipment, during your own time, that is not related to the work you do during the day[0], cannot be usurped by the company using those broad, awful IP clauses. Anyway, this California labor code exception is why Silicon Valley exists in California and nowhere else.

[0] And often, I'm told, companies have the upper hand here, because they can often show that almost anything is related to their particular activities.
Anecdotally I was born in 1990, I spent the first 10 years of my life in Tacoma WA, USA where during summers I would leave in the morning and be gone all day, all of the neighborhood kids would do the same.

When I was 10 we moved to San Diego, CA USA, where I lived until adulthood. During the summers had the same freedom, I would roam free with the neighborhood kids all day long.

Now I'm married with children of my own (3 and 0) and think about the scariness of letting them roam free, but they're really young so I think that is normal.

However, I also have 2 stepsons who are 13 and 11. During the summers they roam free, we have a field behind our backyard which butts up against a forest and an industrial park, and sometimes they're gone for the entire day.

The only real difference is they have cell phones now, and can call us if there is an emergency.
This is murky because the most basic UNIX isolation mechanism (UID/GID) is applied across all parts of the system: processes, files, etc. (in a nutshell).

Thus, when you run some program locally, sometimes it runs as your user/group and sometimes a new user/group is created for it.

From this simple abstraction springs the issue that any (potentially misbehaving) application running locally needs to be treated as if it were a user on its own: with all the quirks a random "user" could bring like deleting files, accessing private information, and so on.

Hence the need for these finer grained access control mechanisms. Any program that you download from the Internet (every program most of us run) might as well be a remote user on your system, in a sense.

Right, but legally the only people responsible for investigating this person are the police and other lawful authorities.

That's not at all the case. I live in very "red" state in the US where firearm ownership and concealed carry rates are among the highest in the nation. Law enforcement officials are more polite and friendly here than they have been in any other part of the country that I have lived including NYC and the Bay Area. Unfortunately, there appears to be little correlation between the degree of aggression shown by law enforcement and the likelihood that they will face armed resistance.

I believed both are present in ImgBurn, see Settings/Read/Page 2 "batch mode: eject tray before next read" and Settings/Sounds "Play sound after read"?

Wouldn't you in ImgBurn just have to put the next disc once the previous is finished, it would even detect when you close the tray and continue automatically with the automatic name, you wouldn't have to click anywhere in the GUI?
In an ideal world, this would probably happen quite often, but on a large and complex code base, it also means throwing away the specific knowledge that might only exist in the heads of people who have already left the company, as well as throwing away the countless hours of debugging to get it working (even if "working" might mean "barely working").

From a management point of view, it means throwing away a large amount of money and then spending more money to replace the old code base, accompanied by the usual risk of whooshing deadlines and all that.

To a programmer it might be easy to see that a rewrite will save the company money in the long run, that can be difficult to sell.

You still don't directly own the assets in the case of an ETF as far as I am aware? You own shares in the ETF and the ETF owns the assets so I imagine in the case of liquidation you're below creditors? Someone more familiar with the concept would need to elucidate.

In addition, a synthetic ETF the company doesn't own the underlying exactly (but some portfolio which perfectly replicates it) - which is again slightly different from a Note I think but still has counterparty risk in there.

Royal assent is today nothing more than an allowed tradition. If the people want her gone, there is nothing she or anyone else can do about it. Parliament is sovereign. However, say Parliament did do that between elections outside of the will of the vast majority of the people, then there would surely be an uprising. The will of the people are the final arbiters of the collective actions of their representatives in Parliament.

> "Due to acts of Parliament I disagree with morally I've lost hope in the democratic system of this country"

Democracy doesn't mean you get what you want, or that you can do whatever you want. It means accepting the will of the majority. Your right is to have your say at the next election. Why have you lost hope?

this is not entirely true, xmonad's config file happens to be a haskell file, but I don't need to recompile the whole xmonad project if I want to change it, I just start xmonad again.

It does some tricks to do this (mainly the _main_ xmonad executable compiles a custom binary for you taking the xmonad.hs as input), but it's a different case.
