>I am stating my views on state violence, and what power the state should have over others. And the state should never use violence, physical or psychological, to "compel" people to do anything.

This allows only for crimes of commission. Crimes of omission, like negligence, failure to pay taxes, etc., could not be prosecuted against this, because the state would be using its monopoly on violence to compel compliance with laws which impose affirmative requirements on individuals instead of merely enforcing laws that proscribe individual behavior.

Are you arguing only against indefinite detention on contempt charges or are you arguing against deploying state force to compel any type of active compliance?

>If they are a danger to society, then they can be locked away, but if they are not provably a danger to society in an uncompromised court of law, then that's it. Indefinite incarceration without legitimate reason is torture.

This isn't indefinite detention without reason. Habaes corpus is fully satisfied here. The government has given the detainee a rationale for his detention and, in this case, they've provided a remedy that he can employ to end his incarceration at will.

For the third time, I believe that the virtues of indefinite detention via contempt-of-court are dubious and that reforms are welcome. I'm not sure what you think you're disagreeing with here.

>Are you telling me if I have a problem with the way my state is run I should call my local Republican state representatives and not discuss my views on a mature open forum? Gtfo with that shit, this isn't your forum my dude.

Expressing your views to your state representative (not sure why the party of that representative is significant) is not mutually exclusive with expressing your views on HN. I was suggesting an option by which you could attempt to enact your views in order to clarify that those views do not reflect the current state of the law and would need legislative action to be realized. That has nothing to do with where you're allowed to express them.
Out of curiosity, I plotted first class mail delivery vs. population:

Annual per-capita mail delivery is down 50% in the US since Y2K.
That seems a bit harsh. One could just as easily claim that Trump's opponents can't fathom him doing anything well and give him even less credibility than he deserves. While both assertions give that nice truthiness rush, neither is mature or productive.

Like any other human being, Trump is allowed to be right about some things, wrong about some things, and somewhere in the middle on the rest. People can support specific actions or areas of action without implicitly supporting all actions. The GP didn't even come across as all that Trump-apologist or even -supportive to me, just stating that the status quo has not crumbled despite the doomsayers claiming otherwise.

Let's all try and dial back on the polarization, please?

There are numerous studies that link artificial sugar to overeating even when you account for the self-selection bias. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, so you should evaluate their quality for yourself but the story goes something like this.

Your body uses some pretty basic heuristics in order to determine one, that you're full, and two that you're getting a sufficient caloric intake. Introducing high-volume, low-calorie foods into your diet isn't necessarily a problem, but your body will quickly determine that you need more volume to reach its caloric needs. Especially if you use diet soda / lite snacks to satisfy hunger. So when you mix 'diet' foodstuffs with normal food you will more than likely overeat on the high calorie foods leading to more weight gain.

This is where philosophy for the other dieting extreme comes from. If you normally eat extremely high-calorie/low-volume foods to satisfy hunger and put up with a grumbly stomach for a while you will adjust the other direction and under-eat on normal calorie foods, ideally leading to weight loss.
...the regulatory environment in the US was relaxed...

Have onerous regulations been a problem for robocar development? If they were, I sort of think I would have heard of it, particularly here on HN where such vehicles are a common topic of conversation.
Did You Know There Are More Than 100K Iranian Android Apps?
Phones and DLs are apples and oranges. You can't get the same shots on a phone that you can on a DL.
It's 50 percent on my work site and we are general entertainment for the 20 to 35 year old demographic.
There's a danger in mixing technical spec information (a phone number can contain non-numeric characters) and non-technical spec information (women...). Some falsehoods are provably correct/incorrect, statements about people don't fit into that mold.
The trick is you don't move someone to that bonus immediately. let them rise to that level incrementally and make them fight for every step. In the mean time they will be upping their lifestyle until $5 million just doesn't seem like that much anymore
Did they pay F-You money to the engineers or the management? Because no matter how much you pay its not going to be enough to make one retire (in 5 years). Unless of course they really paid 10s of millions. That means if they are really paid, employees would rather not leave.

The main reason its a sieve is that they realized they could make more money by leaving. They saw examples with Otto and others.
EULA, because everyone knows clicking I Agree is like taking a blood oath.

That's actually an interesting problem, if a company licenses software to someone and they use it maliciously, can the parent company be held responsible in some way because it was licensed?
Everybody has different concerns and constraints.

I run an ad blocker because I mostly want to stop third parties tracking me around the web. Then, after I ran an ad-blocker for a while, I got used to the web feeling zippy.

Aside from privacy concerns, there are also security concerns. Ad networks have been used to distribute malware.

I had my kids to install ad-blockers on their phones because they share a pool of data. It's not that unusual for a page containing a few kilobytes of text and images to contain twice as much ad related bloat.
Tag Manager is definitely preferable in my experience if you want to empower non technical people such as marketing to make their own changes on the fly without having to bother developers.
It's part of an artificial scarcity strategy. Once you force supply below demand then you have to bid. That's whne the credit guys come forward to "help".
I think eye glasses or contact lens are marriage of man and machine.

A car or bicycle is a marriage of man and machine.

So, is a sword.

Marriage of man and machine has been happening ever since humans started using tools... stone age or stick age tools.

We are increasing the accessibility and intimacy of the tools.

I don't know, I am conflicted about this. Should we make it super easy for everyone to access and link and build upon vast knowledge at moments notice at the service of individual whims and wishes that are susceptible to greed, lust, jealously and pure evil, and just environmental hiccups, Or, should we let our AI overlords control how far we go as individuals?

Age of AI is arriving, but has humanity of humans arrived?
Can I Talk to that William Fellow? He was so Helpful (2009)
While I personally don't have anything measurable to back it up, I'd be surprised if it wasn't out there already. Tummy Time's
main goal is to address side effects from "Back to Sleep"[1]. The rest of the things I said came from pediatricians, physical therapists, and other specialists I've talked to about it. Half of the reason I threw out those statements was to see if anyone had more concrete or additional information about those things.

[1] "While it's recommended that you place your baby on his or her back to sleep to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), tummy time gives a baby the chance to experience a different position. This can help reduce the risk of flat spots. Research also suggests that babies who spend time on their tummies crawl on their stomachs earlier than do babies who don't practice tummy time." http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/infant-and-toddl...
>I would imagine that if someone had the ability to defeat their safeguards they would have the ability to recreate the tools themselves.

Why would you imagine that? People circumvent the DRM on Photoshop, Windows, and lots of other complex software all the time. They most certainly don't have the ability--time, money, expertise, and workforce--to recreate those products.
If it can be done in JSON it can also be done in YAML.

I really enjoy the tone of this article. It's written like they are tracking down the steps that led a company to dump toxic chemicals outside a grade school. Considering I see Google self driving cars self driving all over the place and I don't recall seeing that before 2010, maybe the idea worked?
It does, but I believe you need GitLab EE with ElasticSearch turned on: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/elasticsearch.html
> Your argument is basically "if it feels good, it's not rape."

No, you're misreading my post. My argument boils down to "Stop projecting complex human emotions onto bovines without evidence."
If we really aspire to be an information-driven culture who makes informed decisions about important topics, we really ought to curate lists like these down to actual informed discussions on the items in the list.

Printing out a list of "falsehoods" littered with personal opinions and calling them "demonstrable" [1] without a shred of evidence is not going to contribute to general knowledge. There may be some utility in getting me thinking, but for the most part I just find it self-aggrandizing. For what it's worth, I do find this [2] format much more helpful. I'd very much rather see valid counterexamples proving a sweeping statement false than yet another sweeping statement that happens to cover a few sweeping statements.

Of course, the above is my personal opinion and may not be shared by the rest of the community, but please can we do better than curating a list of lists we agree with?

Wow, you get a CSV file of all the objects. That's a solution I did not expect.

Sounds a bit like something they cooked up in a hurry to avoid having to design a BigQuery-type service for querying arbitrary metadata; I bet they had some huge customer with a need to get a CSV file for a bucket, that were willing to effectively bankroll the development of this feature.

But yes. That would sidestep the issue. You'd still have to turn on the feature and wait for the CSV file to build (apparently the best granularity is daily), of course, but it would help tremendously. Wish that had existed when we had our difficulties, about a year ago.
Yes, the state ultimately decides whether someone's behavior justifies their detainment or not. Is this really news to you? Should they just let him go because he said "Shoot, turns out I don't remember!" How would any criminal justice occur if we let people off with flimsy excuses like that?

Most of the time, absolute certainty that someone is guilty is not possible; that's why the criminal standard is "beyond a reasonable doubt", not "proven to the point of mathematical certainty".

In this case, the simple fact is that the court does not believe Rawls's assertion that he is unable to comply, so he remains detained on contempt. This will change once the court is convinced that Rawls is indeed no longer able to comply.
analytics.js falls back to the older methods in unsupporting browsers.
Wow, thanks you!

On the surface, this appears to be the same 'religious system' my wife and I have come to embrace over the past decade or so.

We will be reading into this a good bit more.
It's pretty annoying that I have to create spam filters for Google Analytics to be useful. Every site I've installed GA on has required me to filter out spam. I don't understand why something isn't done about it at an engineering level. If site owners can set up filters against spammers, is it really that hard for Google to do it? Especially since they can see it across their accounts. Seems like it's the same type of issue that plagues email, yet Google seems to have that under control.
It implies that it's easy to create such cameras. Which is true -- I work for a consumer electronics company and it's pretty amazing how good Chinese manufacturing has gotten.

This is no guarantee people are actually buying these things -- i.e. that there is demand. Hyper segmentation is often a signal of the exact opposite -- micro demand, but not macro.
The best execs are responsible for a few things:

1. Creating and Maintaining a vision for the future of the company based on industry experience, research and hypothesis.

2. Keeping all of the teams and players up to sync on that vision.

3. Driving the development of that vision from day to day and pivoting when needed.

So while they might not be "creating" code, it is important to note that code alone doesn't make a company and leadership is essential especially the larger a corp becomes.
Yep. And it's measurable, it's just very, very small. It normally doesn't really matter for all but the most sensitive applications.
How is advertising outdated? It's basically as old as capitalism itself. Have something to sell? You need to advertise it.
Anecdote: Years ago I attended a talk by him at a large open ground in Chennai. Many people including some bigwigs were present. A few memories:

- at one point he said, "burn all books, including those of the speaker / author". He used to refer to himself like that, not with "I" or "me" or "mine".

- at one point, in some context, he used the words "over the table, under the table" - before he could even complete the sentence, huge knowing / guilty laughter erupted in the audience.
JSON is the new XML. Except XML was actually designed to have semantics, while similar attempts in JSON are just hacks.

In general, JavaScript is becoming the new J2EE. Ambitious ideas, clueless implementations, insane complexity.
You are forgetting the whole austerity thing, a combination higher taxes, lower government spending, forced privatizations and strong euro.
This encapsulates so neatly what I've tried to describe to others.
This list is an awkward mix of posts containing easily-verifiable but surprising claims about various technical specifications, and posts which just make a variety of contentious claims with no particular evidence provided (I think the economics one is possibly the worst).
1) The relevant metric is net income not revenue (that's what at stake for them)

2) Those figures are worldwide, not just for Mexico.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised it's not Coke and Pepsi directly behind the spying, but FEMSA and other bottlers. After all, why would Coke risk its huge brand when the bottlers, who have as much as stake, are Mexican, and are thus better to "influence things over there"
Thanks, I tried persevering with gnome for quite a while because I wanted to use Linux day-to-day. But all of the accessibility stuff at the time was a subset of all of the things that ordinary user could do, that just wasn't enough when I started working and I needed something as full featured as Apple's offering.

I mean I'm obviously going to try and change the state of accessibility and Linux by submitting bug reports and getting involved, but it's a long slow process and in the meantime I need a computer that works.

Perhaps off-topic but can anyone recommend coffee shops in central Europe that have this type of atmosphere? Right now I live in a smaller city (not far from Frankfurt, Germany), and the majority of places here are not laptop/work friendly. Instead, they have waiters serving tables and most people are meeting and talking with friends.

I'm from the northeast US so I miss the cafe culture and general workaholism there. If someone could recommend cafes and cities in general that have this and are within a 6 hour train ride from Frankfurt, you'll help me find my next vacation location.
Political lobbying has some of the highest RoI a business can hope for. At a municipal level, a few hundred dollars can be sufficient to turn a councilor, get access to edit legislature as it is written, or just get your proposed legislature accepted as verbatim.

If the local media doesn't make a stink of it, you'll get away with it, too.
Governments often classify protest groups as "terrorists."

The UK government has spent millions investigating non-violent environmental groups for one example, using anti-terrorism funds, teams, and laws to do so.

Companies asking the government to squish protestors is also extremely common all around the world. I mean in the US right now we have oil pipelines which primarily benefit private companies getting built by the Army Corps of Engineers using public money and protesters harassed & beaten by police. All to reduce an oil company's costs and/or increase their profit margins.
Echoing what others are saying, I much prefer Google Tag Manager. Many clients use a CMS which make injecting dynamic variables into a page a bit of a pain if it's not done via rules at runtime.

The Next Web has open-sourced its Google Tag Manager setup (https://github.com/thenextweb/gtm), which has things like Scroll Tracking, Engagement Tracking (riveted.js), Outbound Link Tracking and lots of other things that are not in the default GA setup. They have recently added support for AMP.

In my experience it allows clients to get up and running with a useful GA setup in a couple of hours and means that you as a developer don't get bothered to make trivial changes.
Google has routinely claimed or indicated that regulations are a significant roadblock[1][2][3][4] for self-driving cars. I would argue this is a misdirection, as regulations would not be an issue if the cars were safe to drive.

Time dilation of everyday life is so small that it's not detectable to all but atomic clocks, over the course of your entire life. So the differences between 10 miles is so negligible it doesn't even exist as an issue.

Thank you for sharing. If you look at my profile I think it will quell any fear you have about this being some kind of homework-related question.

While your storage of logs looks fine, the search for graylog (http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.2/pages/queries.html) seems to simply be plain string searching which seems like it would be really slow if it wasn't for filtering by attributes before search.
I would disagree somehow. You are right that classified makes money. However; news was not freely available as it is today and thus I would say that news was actually something people used to pay for. It was not as lucrative as the classified but it was a major contributor to people actually buying newspapers. They simple did not have another choice if they wanted to know what was going on.
On technical sites I'm seeing traffic cut at least in half by GA against traffic measured server side (excluding bots), which isn't too surprising. On others by maybe a third. It is probably gradually becoming more and more inaccurate as users install blockers. I doubt many GA users are aware of this though. Anyone else seeing this?

So 1% of some javascripts are disabled, and 15-30% of others, because those are the kind that ghostery, adblockplus and friends block.

I don't run an ad-blocker, but I blocked Disqus in my hosts file ages ago (as a side effect, I don't see comments on sites that use Disqus; this has not affected my life so far). Them and Taboola have always been the unabashedly scummy bottom of the barrel: even before native ads were ubiquitous, they were way ahead of the game with running extremely low-quality scam ads disguised as publisher content.
Also, you have to account for the different gravitational field in both situations, which affects time flow.
Quaternions are a useful tool for manipulating rotations in a lot of common applications. But that wasn't my point here. Also quaternions are hard to grasp by humans. I find axis-angle much more palatable in general.

Imaginary numbers can be represented with a 2x2 skew symmetric matrix with no stretch of the imagination at all. And 3x3 skew symmetric matrixes represent rotations most compactly with only 3 actual variables. Instead of 4 for quaternions, 9 for "classic rotation matrixes", or the need to tell which is the order of the angles if you're given 3 euler angles.

There are interesting applications of Lie Algebra on SO(3) [1], notably in computer vision where a global energy is minimized across two successive rgb-d "shots" in order to recover the infinitesimal rotation [2].
It's going to be easier to minimize energy on something that is most compactly defined, and always amounts to a valid rotation.

More plausible to me is that someone in the Sugar Industrial Complex bribed someone in a bureau that has access to this malware.
The specific article I'm thinking of is this one:

https://www.wired.com/2015/04/dmca-ownership-john-deere/

It effectively claims that the guy couldn't repair his machines without a specialist who had to be flown out directly. I guess it's not a question of OBD-II, so my bad for making it about that, but it's still a question of repairability. I can't find a first hand account from him, so I'm willing to believe it was more complicated than a single paragraph in Wired. Why couldn't he just buy the manual and repair it? What codes and interfaces don't show up on OBD-II?

I work for an automaker, and I'm well aware that you can get the base codes from a cheapo harbor freight OBD reader, but that won't let you reset all of the errors you might be getting, and OBD codes don't tell you as much as the engine computer knows, for that you need $4000 worth of hardware and a yearly license for very expensive hardware. John Deere is no different, if the mechanics I've talked to are any guide.

I guess the point I'm making is that the availability of a manual is only so good if it says "hook up your Tricorder and check this hex address." I would need a Tricorder for that, and I'm fresh out.
Well for starters the Apostle Paul wrote the 2nd Thessalonian letter condemning this very attitude. Hence, in my experience, comments like this are generally offered by (1) nominal Christians who don't seem familiar with what Jesus and the apostles actually taught; or (2) atheists who use it as a straw-man argument against Christianity proper, instead of an admonishment to the nominals to actually know what they claim to believe.
