>> People are literally losing money working for Uber but only when you include depreciation of their car, and that is a long term cost, so people are effectively taking a loan from their future selves.

I believe this is it. They need money now, Uber is better than a payday loan but yes, they are mortgaging assets to make some cash now.

General relativity also accounts for gravitational/accelerational effects, in addition to the speed-related effects. For example, in the Schwarzschild metric[1], effects such as time dilation are on the order of 1-phi/c^2 where phi=GM/r. Or expressed in terms of "g-force": phi=gr.

I either use DuckDuckGo or if it doesn't return relevant results, I use Google in private mode. Private mode obviously doesn't help much (they can easily connect me to my Google Account), but Google does have the years of development behind it.
You said "start menu does not allow you to start all of the installed software from there" which can manifest in many different ways.

And alright then, you're talking about a bug that was found in the Windows 10 Preview and fixed 1.5 years ago: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2015/09/18/annou... Or you're talking about something entirely else.

>In this case, a third party would be provided evidence.

It's a pretty common thing for a completely unrelated store's surveillance cameras to have footage of a robbery of another store. That's why police ask every store in the area when one is robbed.
Your use of the second person and subsequent criticism implies a misunderstanding.
Google didn't murder a hundred million of its own users in the last century alone. It took police and government forces to do that.
I've been slowly working on my own simple home "Alexa" using mostly CMUSphinx for the voice detection. Honestly my most successful methods involved the least amount of complex NLP.

Just simply treating the sentence as a bag of words and looking for "on" or "off" or "change" (and their synonyms) and the presence of known smart objects works extremely well. I could say "Hey Marvin, turn on the lights and TV", or "Hey Marvin, turn the lights and TV on", or even "Hey Marvin, on make lights and TV."

(It's named Marvin it after the android from The Hitchhiker's Guide, my eventual goal is to have it reply with snarky/depressed remarks).

Adding 30 seconds of "memory" of the last state requested also made it seem a million times smarter and turns requests into a conversation rather than a string of commands. If it finds a mentioned smart object with no state mentioned, it assume the previous one.

"Hey Marvin, turn on the lights." lights turn on "The TV too." tv turns on

The downside to this approach is I would be showing it off to friends, and it could mis trigger. "Marvin turn off the lights." lights turn off "That's so cool, so it controls your TV, too?" TV turns off But it was mostly not an issue in real usage.

Ultimately I've got the project on hold for now because I can't find a decent, non-commercial way of converting voice to text. I'd really rather not send my audio out to Amazon/Google/MS/IBM. Not just because of privacy, but cost and "coolness" factor (I want as much as possible processed locally and open-source).

CMUSphinx's detection was mostly very bad. I couldn't even do complex NLP if I wanted because it picks up broken/garbled sentences. I currently build a "most likely" sentence by looping through sphinx's 20 best interpretations of the sentence and grabbing all the words that are likely to be commands or smart objects. I tried setting up Kaldi, but didn't get it working after a weekend and haven't tried again since. I don't really know any other options to use aside from CMUSphone, Kaldi, or a butt SaaS.

I've wanted to add a text messaging UI layer to it. Maybe I'll use that as an excuse to try playing with ParseySaurus.

You make a compelling point, but the convenience store analogy is slightly different in that the footage is likely direct evidence of a crime, making it easy to identify the culprit.

Whereas a Google search is entirely circumstancial. Now ideally our justice system would work as you describe, but there's still a risk of an innocent person being charged.
>It’s not entirely clear yet if the studio wants a remake with Neo, Agent Smith, and the rest of the core characters, a new film set in the established world, or something between the two.

Uh, what is this author railing against? A possibility that exists only in his head? Is there any evidence this is even in the cards?

I can't imagine the Wachowski's doing a cheap Spiderman-like cash out of just re-doing origin stories over and over again. People may not have liked Reloaded and Revolutions, but they were expansive and very, very different than the original, less ambitious, movie. Personally, I'd just like to see this wanna-be franchise die. So much was covered in the originals and the various conflicts in the movies end up nicely resolved. I suspect regardless of the direction chosen, there's a real path to a Lucas-like Phanton Menace disaster here.

I also prefer the Wachoswski's to stay weird and not to retread old glories. I can't imagine anyone else with the will, connections, money, talent, and politics to make a great Cloud Atlas movie, but they somehow pulled it off.

That said, I'd love to see the Matrix IP put towards video games. There's still a lot of fun to have in that world. Why isn't anyone making a well funded Matrix Vive game? More Matrix movies is a bit like making more Viewmaster film circles. The tech, culture, and innovation have moved on past movies when it comes to cyberpunky storytelling. I want a 3D vista that surrounds me, not crunching popcorn in a uncomfortable seat and staring at a wall while the people around me send text messages and make noise.

Gigster and toptal a) have their own vetting mechanism that misses out on lots of good developers, b) charge a premium for that which is unnecessary, and c) are a service not a platform.

What I want is a lightweight platform where any github dev can showcase their code and say hire me for x. I don't want any third party vetting. Github itself could do this. We need a better freelance marketplace.

It depends on the state. In Minnesota, judges are elected in nonpartisan elections, so people can adjust their qualifications every 6 years.
Isn't that exactly what the court system is for? I've never heard of anyone being charged with terrorism merely for googling IS, and I suspect any judge would throw out a case like that in a heartbeat.
By "NY" I assume you mean "NYC"?

Have you considered applying for jobs in the boonies of NYC? NJ, Long Island, Upstate? If you are the sort of young person living in NYC I am imagining you to be, the prospect of commuting to the burbs is horror-inducing to you. It is to most of your peers, with whom you are competing; you will have a leg up if you are willing to commute to Poughkeepsie for a year.
Police asking, and a judge ordering are pretty different things.

>Basically, all damage claims are null because QVC & Resultly never entered into a mutual agreement. You can write whatever the fuck you want in your ToS but it's not law binding.

I'm pretty sure that's what I said re: the ToS? That's only one element of the case (breach of contract). You are correct that in this case, browsewrap was not considered applicable. There have been a few other cases where it wasn't too, as in Nguyen v. Barnes & Noble, Inc., but there have been cases where it was, as in Hubbert v. Dell Corp.. Also note that most cases re: browsewrap do not challenge the viability of automatically entering an agreement by clicking around the site, but rather argue that the notification was simply not prominent enough. It could be worked around by moving the notice into a more prominent location on the page.

The other element is CFAA, and referring to the wide-open robots.txt helped Resultly establish that they were attempting to act in good faith and were not maliciously damaging QVC's systems and not exceeding authorized access to the computer system.

>Please do not cite legal resources and grossly twist realities to spread FUD. If you don't want to be web scraped, simply do not put it online.

I'm not trying to spread FUD, I'm just trying to make it clear that the legal situation is precarious. Google has clearly shown that if you are able to build your coffers and reputation faster than you can incur lawsuits, you can win on this. In fact, lots of big companies begin that way, and become big companies merely because they were lucky enough to get big enough to stand up for themselves before the legal threats started coming in the door.

It's understood that you'll be scraped if you put it online. That doesn't mean scraping is legal.

You may be confused here -- I'm not a publisher trying to stop people from doing this. I'm an entrepreneur whose business depended on scraping data from a specific source. That business got destroyed when they chose to dispatch their law firm against us.

The point of repeatedly discussing this on HN is to make the legal situation clear so that people work to change it, and to make sure people who are going into similar ventures are informed about the legal risks associated with them.

As I said on another post, I am not a lawyer, and this is according to my layman's understanding. No one should misinterpret my posts as legal advice. I'm not going to copy and paste this disclaimer into every post I make because it should be implicit, and a few IANAL disclaimers is plenty.

You are quite right, and it's a shame people are downmodding you.

For some reason there is this belief that anything you do electronically should be immune to warrants, and warrants should only apply to physical documents.

It was the same thing with that phone the FBI was hacking, [some] people had a deep-seated belief that because it was encrypted the FBI should not be permitted to hack it!

(Some people had other issues with it, but they were a minority - most simply felt the FBI should not be allowed to try to hack a phone.)

#define DECLARE_IT(type, value) extern const type{ value }
DECLARE_IT(int, 0);
DECLARE_IT(int, 1);
DECLARE_IT(float, 0.0f); // etc
#undef DECLARE_IT

[…] or to avoid writing “struct”
— Huh, actually I feel the opposite, I think all those “struct” identifiers are clutterific, much like excessive “typename” id’s in C++ template declarations. But so aside from the points where I totally disagree with the author, I absolutely feel the same way 100%.

Why do people constantly demonize single founders? (Just to be clear, I'm pointing my finger at the person asking the question, not Kat or YC).

Sure, startups are hard and it's always better to have 2-3 people in the founding team, but there are valid reasons people choose to go solo. Seriously though, YC should write a post to discuss the single founder situation and what they have observed over the years and share any relevant numbers to go along with the post.

The end-game of Google (and Facebook, etc.) is to feed on everything everything you think, do, and say so they can predict and influence your beliefs and what you purchase. Of course, law enforcement wants a piece of the cake as well to be able to control and predict the behavior of the population. Break free from the hive mind. Disconnect yourself from the spying apparatus.

Ask HN: Has perl been making programmers carefree?
Here's the story, I am a new perl programmer and happen to know a few experienced ones in person. I have observed that perl programmers are very carefree with environment setup, and very little cautious about the OS env. They keep saying, a code written in a one configuration of perl and packages should work in another configuration. As I happen to be a very cautious person, I find this mindset very uncomfortable. Am I the being overly cautious?

> Is this really that different from police asking for security camera footage from a convenience store after a robbery.

The crux of the debate is whether Google is a quasi public place, like a convenience store, or something private, like your closet.

I think legally, Google is no different than any other business. Following the appropriate process, police can ask a convenience store to search their sales records to see who bought something on a particular date. They can ask a credit card company about someone's purchases on a particular date.

On the other hand, people disclose information to Google that they don't disclose to their convenience store clerk. That information is even more intimate than what people disclose to a credit card company. Someone's searches can reveal the deepest darkest things about them.

On the other other hand, Google as a service is not really one of trust. It's not like a bank that provides a safe deposit box and promises to not look inside (and is usually legally barred from doing so). Google rummages through your personal information for its own profit. Twenty years ago, if you had asked people: "If you had a service that data mined the information you gave it for advertising purposes, where potentially dozens of engineers and operators have access to that information--would you consider that a trusted and private system?" They would have said "no."
Cmd meltdown: I know that command
Most people's closets don't fetch their contents from a place outside the people's house.

By doing a google search you're explicitly asking a third party to bring you something.

Tipping is the worst possible thing for everyone involved. Your employer should be paying you a living wage, not expecting the customers to do so with tips.

Tipping doesn't really say much about a person other than how easily they fall for societal pressure and guilt.

American here, I grew up on breakfast cereal (for better or worse). Cereal seems to be one of those things that exploded in variety and marketability in the U.S. I've never seen anything like an American cereal aisle in any of the other countries I've been to anywhere in the world.

What I find really interesting though is how that's slowly starting to change as other countries start to adopt more of the quick-eat consumerist culture similar to the U.S. What's more fun is that the local solutions to snacks and cereals are usually very interesting and designed for local tastes.

The first time I went to Europe, 20 some odd years ago there really was a slim selection, mostly variants of Muesli mixes. When I was in Russia in the 90s, I really wanted some breakfast cereal and there was a big effort to get milk and some corn flakes. In Germany I had more selection, but not hugely.

The first time I went to Korea about 15 years ago it was the same.

More recently I notice the amount and selection of breakfast cereals is exploding on those countries. Most of my experience has been in Korea, and there are now full-on cereal aisles with an entire list of different products. Not as many as the U.S. but definitely getting there.

So what's fun it that not only do I get to eat all the American varieties, but as other countries add other cereals to their cultural inventories, I get to try and enjoy those as well.

Whenever you cast a wide net you must either do significant statistical modelling or disqualify the actual results of the warrant from being considered as evidence. Ie you can not both use the results to filter the suspects _and_ use it as evidence without knowing exactly what you are doing from a statistical point of view. As badly understood statistics generally are, the required level of rigor is unlikely to be achieved.
