I'm actually having a hard time thinking of any service job in the US where it's not customary (and/or expected) to tip.
Your BRAIN HAS a FRAME RATE AND IT’S PRETTY SLOW
Although this is a topic that needs a book-level dialogue to flesh out (and there are in fact books on the topic), in a nutshell:

The internet performs many of the functions that our species previously required government to do, but does so without the need for a centralized authority claiming a monopoly on the initiation of force, which brings with it inevitable corruption, violence, division, and victimization of the world's poor.
I think this might be attached to the wrong comment?
The judge would give the order after ascertaining that the video was relevant to catching the criminal, and specific enough that it only included the time period when the criminal would have been likely to be captured and no longer, and that no unnecessary camera angles or other information be included in the order.

There is a difference between shop owners volunteering camera information and this case. This is closer to all shop owners in town being ordered to turn over the personal information of everyone who bought a shovel, because they found a body that had been buried.
It's easy for even a big search to miss someone, even when that person is alive. Geraldine Largay got lost on the Appalachian Trail in Maine, survived for 26 days, and died less than 2 miles from the trail, yet a large search didn't find her, and her remains weren't found for more than two years after her disappearance:

Thank you!

I am 100% certain that had authors of a lot of papers that I have read included some examples and perhaps even calculation results, I would have understood and perhaps even been able to reason about some of their publications a whole lot better than I currently can.

Just the mere inclusion of a few examples makes a world of difference. The idea that X is clear to everyone and therefor we do not need to exemplify it for the reader is really back-breaking. Especially when you are not coming form a background that includes years of expertise within said domain!
I am in drug discovery, and over the last few days I searched for an opiate that hasn't been scheduled yet. The class of compounds that this compound belongs to was investigated 30 - 40 years back, they never made it into the clinic, but you begin encountering them on the streets because the DOJ hasn't prohibited them yet. I am also in an academic environment, and it has happened before that researchers diverted university resources for their own profit. In a previous workplace they fired a grad student over this, in the lab next to mine. I am under no illusions that I have already attracted suspicion from NSA/FBI/CIA/whatnot.

The suspicion is something what I could do wholly without.
When stacked against the bang-up job that the US Government has done, not only on the landmass over which is claims sovereignty but the rest of the world - especially the continent of Africa - I'm certainly open to solutions other than government.
Secret Crazy Tough Water Bear Finally Revealed
> This sounds like a very targeted request for information.

To me it sounds like the exact opposite. A targeted request would look like this:

We'd like the search history for ip address 212.55.12.23 between Sept. 16 2016 1 am and Sept. 21 2016 9 am related to 'name'.

That's a specific request. The present one is a fishing expedition where the police is not confirming something they already know but are looking for someone they theorize might exist.
Can anyone tell me if Guile is relevant? The list of example programs written in Guile is small. EmacsLisp and not Scheme seems to be the Gnu lisp of choice. The VM is not the fastest and not the most portable. Is there any driver behind it?
I also don't mind paying a lot of taxes. But I wish I could pay more than the tiny amount I pay to my state, and less than the huge amount I pay to the federal government, so that I could have a louder voice in how the money is being spent. I can't see how we would transition from where we are now to that system, though. I wouldn't want to see state taxes massively raised before massively lowering federal taxes, and I wouldn't want to see federal taxes massively lowered before we have replaced a lot of critical federal programs at the state level. So I've settled on being ok with paying lots of taxes the current way, where a lot gets "wasted" on things I would prefer not to pay for, but a lot also gets spent on things I believe improve my life.
This seems to be nothing more than a strawman; I'm not sure what you are expecting as a response.
It will probably end up being installed by `cargo install` anyway.

So if they build their 6 core CPUs by disabling a core in each of the 4 core CPUs, is this something people might be able to reverse engineer to enable the disabled cores ?

Or would they physically disconnect the core on a hardware level ?
1st question is Linear Algebra

2nd question is Calc 2+Differential Equations

3rd question is probability/stats

an analysis class would probably help as well

I guess it's pretty feasible to take all of those in a year, especially if mathematics is your area of study. This wasn't the case in engineering in my experience.
In any case, this wouldn't be so bad with a 4 year degree. Not really any harder than other PhD candidacy exams I've looked at
I posted it in hope to prevent someone, somewhere, to waste some of his time.
Congratulations on your launch! Well done. A great idea that needed to happen. Looking forward to kicking the tires on it.

well you might feel differently if you factored in all the embedded taxes you pay on top of fees for government services an licensing.

there are those who don't know how much they pay, they just know what they take home

there are those who know their income tax, medical, etc, deductions are

and then there are those who see other avenue of taxation that effects the price of goods and services we make use of

I have no problem paying my taxes but why would be happy about it when I cannot recall a single government out there that is using them responsibly?
This makes me glad I'm not in college anymore.

I have an M.S. in Computer Science but even then those questions look very hard and only really relevant to PhDs/Researchers.

Maybe I'm just spoiled because software development in real life is so much easier than anything you study in college.
Thanks for posting this, I didn't get any hits for the error message on Google. It's a pretty bad way to botch an upgrade, displaying a worrying error message like this. A good reminder that I should back up all my Google stuff.
Maybe so but they are still making a killing.
They probably made 2.5 mil of Rocket league sales alone.
It would be an interesting experiment if there was a search engine that ran on a heuristic of novelty rather than conformity. If you want to search for the history of pineapples, you don't need 100 sites with the same info. The more varied info you get, the broader a picture you can paint.

The downside is in the assumption that every difference is correct, but it's as dangerous as the assumption that only what is repeated is correct. Would be an interesting alternative at least.

A week in hell: Inside the Stayzilla founders’ agonising wait
Yeah, and that's the thing. I think Uber started off with a great idea: eliminate tipping for a job where tipping is the norm. But then they failed to fix the reason for tipping these days: paying the usually-tipped person a living wage.
It looks similar, but if it's the same thing, it's a regression. I've only noticed the bug on my work computer this year.

It's hard to say exactly what it is, because as you can see, MS publicly denies any problem (despite a lot of people reporting it) and technical information is really hard to find.

All that I know is that I still can't access all the programs on the computer by the start menu. (Not a big issue, the menu is so messy that I prefer to navigate the program files in explorer anyway.)
Sorry if these are obvious and you've already gone over them:

- have you tried reaching out to your alumni network or the career development person at the bootcamp?

- what has feedback been about your interviews? if it's "we're looking for someone more senior", ask them what are the traits of a senior person and work towards that

- if you're focused on Javascript, do you know the latest frameworks kids are discussing? Angular/React/Vue? And while it's awesome you picked up Haskell, can you write RxJS?

- in terms of interview prep, you've know the answers to explaining .this, closures, class instantiation, async right? And how are your "tell me about yourself", "time when things were difficult" stories? Confident? Engaging?

I don't think you need to go back to school. Perhaps the market is flooded with bootcamp grads and now it's how do you differentiate yourself. Better portfolio site, stronger Github presence with good readmes. And like thegandhi says, sometimes it's out of your control. Some companies really just want fresh grads with 3.8 GPAs.

Also, take a week off from job hunting or even thinking about the internet. Go out camping, be out in nature, and reset.
Yah, the problem is that if you plant a seed you often get a wild type apple with a totally random flavor profile (self-pollination within a particular tree won't produce apple trees with fruit that are identical to their parent).
Yeah no,

That just replaces the page with blank placeholder. How hard would it be to replace the page with an image of it's contents?

If you use Nvidia, then the open driver sucks. It is like GIMP sucks, and that's a very real problem. But the open drivers don't brick my hardware, GIMP doesn't go and send my shit to the cloud without me knowing it, and won't refuse to let me edit whatever I want (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation).

This is a trade-off I am willing to make - that is all, nd I have mentioned it from the beginning.
Much appreciated, thank you!
Four Simple Steps to Bot Yourself
> Police are not asking for the entire search history of everyone in the town, then combing through it to see what they've searched for. Rather, police are asking Google who, in a narrow amount of time, searched for the name of a relatively unknown person who had $28K stolen from him.

Where would you draw the line?

Suppose they don't find what they're looking for in that request. Would you be okay with them expanding the time little by little? Perhaps adding other search terms? What about for other crimes? Other services (Facebook, Bing, Yahoo!, etc...)?

Wouldn't capable prosecutors for future cases simply use this as precedent and expand the parameters little by little?

There is no clear line to draw after you cross this line.
> Then it sounds like they used a DNN or something similar to analyze the rate of fireball expansion in the films to refine their earlier estimates of yield.

Back in the day, some rather simple models were used to estimate yield based on photographs, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon_yield#Calculati...

It's actually quite amazing that even with such a simple model, G.I. Taylor was able to estimate yield's to within 10% of the official figure for the Trinity device.

Just because DNN's are terribly trendy doesn't mean that every image analysis task is done with them. :) I think that at least with such a crude model as the Taylor one, the model itself will introduce errors that DNN's per se won't fix. DNN's might help the manual drudgery of analyzing each frame of the videos manually though..
That's a good idea. Will definitely try that.

Awesome, I'll keep an eye on it :)
Yep, go glance at the moon -- its light took over a second to reach you.

Or the screen in front of you: your computer probably retired several instructions in that time.
Right. They're fishing because they need leads. It's not a complaint about the police doing their job, but that the method in which it is being done automatically casts suspicion on the people found. Investigators feel clever for thinking "No one but the perp, within reason, could've ever searched for these terms in this time." But that just begs the question.

Because the natural consequence of this "experiment" is to cast all subjects in doubt, you must have a methodology that actually selects for the criminal instead of just correlating really strongly. It's the same problem as the social sciences. Except this one comes with legal consequences.
When users put your app at risk. The attack surface iceberg
You usually don't write anything other than emacs extensions in emacs lisp -- it would be overkill to have to start emacs just to start an HTTP server. For these purposes, guile would be a better choice?
"Bow" might be the wrong word. More like the subtle forward nod/thrust that you make with your head when you thank or acknowledge someone. Most Americans might not even notice it, to be honest.

I lived in Gunma for several years, for what it's worth. That was about a decade ago.
TFA is about Google being ordered to share information to police, by a (currently) legal court order.
There's no call for [sic] in your quotation of GP.
It doesn't assume that. Those religious vegetarians are not "Ethical consequentialist vegetarians". Consequentialism is an ethical framework, so consequentalist vegetarians are vegetarian for ethical reasons.
I am professionally involved in space tech. Have to say, I like Trump's administration stance on NASA (quote):

"We see NASA in an exploration role, in deep space research," Bob Walker, a senior Trump adviser, told the Guardian newspaper. "Earth-centric science is better placed at other agencies where it is their prime mission."

...much more then I liked the previous administrator (Charles Bolden) mission:

"When I became the NASA administrator, (President Obama) charged me with three things," Bolden said in the interview which aired last week. "One, he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering."

Why were Muslim national relationships a NASA mission? Thought we had State Department for that.
No, but I get the general premise.

I don't see how it directly meshes into the issue at hand though.
Yeah, I feel Europe cares about the degree more than America does. We're the land of self-reinvention here, whereas Europe generally requires some sort of training/schooling to switch careers.
> But that's a result of the evaluation of prospects at trial, so the protections that apply at trial directly influence that.

That would be nice, but it's not true. Prosecutors use the threat of trial to get innocent people to accept plea deals out of fear of being found guilty anyway and facing the full penalties of the charges.

You're assuming good faith from prosecutors, you shouldn't; they only care about winning cases, not justice. The justice system is not your friend and is not out to ensure justice is done. The justice system is for those who can afford lawyers, it does its best to fuck anyone who can't.

Ask HN: How do you set goals for engineering teams
Hi HN, our company adopts Google's OKR (Objectives and Key Results) framework for goal setting. While we have a general agreement that goal-setting is important, we struggle to understand what's the proper way to do it. Conflicting information have been shared around with some saying your objectives shouldn't be project oriented, because business priority could change. While others say your objectives should be where you spend most of your time on.

It always seems like it's easier for marketing or sales to come up with measurable performance indicators like "acquire x number of new customers". But with engineering teams, our backlog and projects are determined by company vision and product planning. How can we set goals to drive the product without turning everything into "tasks" or "project based"?

Anyone Googlers or folks who have done similar goal setting that could help out?
> consider that at least with C there are basic steps that prevent many of these from becoming problems, whereas with other languages you need a hodge-podge of different, more complicated countermeasures. C is actually easier to secure because its bugs are common and not difficult to catch by the kernel.

I think this is completely wrong. In other languages you just don't have these problems in the first place because you are memory-safe by default. It's not like there's some point-buy system where all languages have to have the same number of opportunities for bugs and not having stupid memory safety bugs means you have more complex subtle bugs instead. You just eliminate a huge proportion of your bugs.
You'd think so.

My neighbor's wife decided to go on a walk in the middle of the night. She has dementia. Last year, coldest night of the year (-20f).

Once called in, there were helicopters using infra-red imaging and dozens of people looking for her. There were dogs, there were police, there were friends, and there were firefighters.

She was found four hours later in the back of a car. She climbed into someone's car and fell asleep. The car was about 1000 or so feet away from their house, but down a driveway and out-of-sight for the most part.

She was okay, other than being very cold. She's still doing okay, but it shows that it's not super easy to find someone.
How would a circular runway affect inbound emergency aircrafts?

My intuition tells me that a straight runway would be less burdensome on the flight crew. You set up for your approach then you can go back to dealing with the issues at hand.

When You Should Use Lists in Haskell (Mostly, You Should Not)
We don't know what other investigation the police have done. By limiting it to a geographic area I can at least imagine they have done some other investigation to narrow it down to that area. I don't know this but I do think it is promising that the police are narrowing their search to a specific time and area, that seems like something that should happen in an investigation.

I don't think that is a more correct analogy because as I read it the police are asking for people who searched for pictures that were used in the fraud.

The term doesn't sound like it was for the victim it was for some supporting material to attempt the fraud. "Douglas" (the search term/phone number) is not the victim.

You do make a good point about the page in the phone book, that is something I had not considered.
You can hardly blame the Shan for that. Did you even read the article?
The plan is for it to be a component in rustup, rather than through cargo install. It needs to be extremely tied to the exact rust version you're on.
Goodbye Analytics, Hello Actions
This is more like asking a telephone company to provide the information of everybody that said this name during a phone call.
For me the issue with such things is not so much the hassle as much as it is long term stability of an environment that I come to depend on. If I can't reproduce it from archived sources then there is a good chance that at some point in the future my stuff will suddenly and in-explicably stop working after some minor system update.

And python has a huge problem with this anyway. (Or, to put it probably more accurately, I have a huge problem with python in this way, historically my python code has had a relatively short shelf life compared to my C code (or even my PHP code)).
Thanks, please do let us know if you spot any issues, want to suggest any new features or have any other feedback!
That breaks two of the key parts of this case.

1. You're giving police full access to tapes of everyone's closets.

2. Grey hoodies are common and this therefore feels like massive overkill.

More realistic, for the purposes of torturing analogies further, would be the police asking for a list of all people who bought a particular and rare style of designer hat from a particular designer store on the day someone was seen committing a crime while wearing an obviously brand new one.

What's being handed to the police is smaller, less revealing and much more targeted than "footage of everyone's closets".

looks useful.
You are taking my remarks a bit too literally. And your experience in a pizza place and my son's experience are entirely different things. Coaching him on what to say does not solve it.

We have done a lot of reading and we believe he lacks prosody and lacks the ability to tone match. This is something other people are not consciously aware is socially important, but he routinely gets that reaction that is summed up by the phrase "I don't like your tone."

In contrast, I appear to habitually tone match without trying. This gets me read as incredibly deferential, which has a different social downside. So, one thing that does work is he and I frequently shop together, everyone knows I am his mother and people generally find me likeable. They eventually conclude "He's a nice, quiet young man." and quit having an issue with him being him.
