I really liked this last line. I agree. I think that I would be much more productive in my life if I didn't had to think aboud keeping my job and having enough funds for expenses.

- Terrorism is not a problem at all! -

Instead of fixing the real issues this country has: poverty, homelessness, joblessness, hunger, drug abuse, health care accessibility, affordable housing accessibility - we prefer to look for a boogeymen outside of the country.

Around 500-1000 Homeless Americans die from hypothermia per year, 2000-4000 Americans die per year from hunger, 35000 people on average die from drug over dose, over 500,000 people die from heart desease so in the last 15 years we lost just to these causes - around 8million people!

According to a September 2016 study by Alex Nowrasteh at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, some 3,024 Americans died from 1975 through 2015 due to foreign-born terrorism. That number includes the 9/11 terrorist attacks (2,983 people) and averages nearly 74 Americans per year.

8million+ people dead vs. 3000? So where are the real issues?

Why do we allow the government propaganda machine to fool us?

I think the 800k figure may be a global number. This 2012 Forbes article has a global average 100,000 deaths _per trillion kWhr_[1]. I have no clue if the the world uses 8 trillion kWhr of coal power in a year though.

You could also use a reverse takeover where you purchase the assets of a smaller publicly listed company.

>A reverse takeover (RTO) is a type of merger that private companies use become publicly traded without resorting to an initial public offering (IPO). Initially, the private company buys enough shares to control a publicly traded company. The private company's shareholder then uses its shares in the private company to exchange for shares in the public company. At this point, the private company has effectively become a publicly traded company. An RTO is also known as a reverse merger or a reverse IPO.

Awesome project!

Would anyone else chose a different software solution rather than Docker with resin.io? I love working on projects like this but I've stayed away from Docker so far. Docker plus a third-party service to manage it seems like it could be overkill, but it obviously got the job done.
That is odd indeed. I had the opposite experience a few years ago when I had a broken iPhone. I tried to give my account (iCloud) password but the clerk (Genius) stopped me and said "No, just the phone PIN so we can unlock it."
The reason for asking for your passcode is so they can perform functional testing, and they don't end up giving customers a device that isn't perfect.

It is stored in a database, but the passcode is deleted immediately after the genius marks the service as completed.

"More recently I was made to wonder: Does the 4th Amendment apply to Muslim citizens at LAX?"

Well, no actually, it does not. Nor does it apply to non-Muslim citizens, or white citizens, or any other types of citizens.

And excuse me, but you were just "recently" made to wonder about this? Only recently?!?

We apparently decided after 9/11 that airports and any place within 100 miles of the border were going to be Constitution-free zones, where the laws around search and seizure just do not apply to anyone.

The following happened to me, for instance, in an airport in 2006:

This is one of those things that kills me -- those of us whining about all this, especially under Obama, were "shrill" civil libertarians. But then Trump came to power.

Now that this crap is happening under Trump, and it's happening to ACLU lawyers and doctors and newspaper journos and so on (cue the scary music), it's suddenly a crisis, and people's hair is on fire.

It was a crisis over a decade ago, when we just abandoned the Constitution in airports and at borders. And the warning that civil libertarians gave, which was roundly ignored, was "wait until the wrong person gets hold of this power."

> When it comes to net neutrality, all I can think of is what Jimmy Wales once said about the lesson he learned from Neupedia: "Don't make rules people are not breaking."

The first Open Internet (the then-majority at FCC's term for net neutrality) Report and Order was drafted and issued after the FCC's use of "ancillary authority" action against Comcast for blocking use of peer-to-peer file sharing software was struck down in FCC v. Comcast [0]. People were breaking the rules that became the FCCs Open Internet rules before they were adopted, so the "Don't make rules people aren't breaking" line, however valid it might be as a general principle [1], is inapplicable.

> But there are ideas out there and innovation out there, where this net neutrality is turning out to be a hindrance to it all.

No, it's not.

> Why cannot cable company provide cable TV over cable Internet? Because of net neutrality!

False. Open Internet rules don't prevent this. They so prevent the cable company from blocking access to third-party video services also provided over the internet, though.

> Why cannot T-mobile provide TV experience on its network for everyone without breaking its network? Because of net neutrality.

Again false, of something is really necessary to prevent breaking the network, it falls under the ambit of the reasonable network management exception in the Open Internet Order.

> Why cannot Verizon offer free stuff for its customers over its network? Because of net neutrality.

The Open Internet Order does not prevent ISPs, mobile or fixed, from providing free stuff to subscribers. So, again, this is false.

I know this won't be popular but I will ask it anyway.

How is searching a phone any different than customs searching all luggage inbound to the US. How are the contents of digital devices considered to be sufficiently different that they don't warrant a cursory scan, if not automatic scan?

Then it comes down to, what exactly could you scan for anyway? Could they do short term scan/records and delete upon leaving the country or short duration? Where is the justification for doing this to citizens of this country or countries not considered to an active threat?
Honestly, the other resposnes to this comment suggest why such suggestions, while done in earnest, might be more harmful that helpful.

I appreciate your want, but right now the rule of law with the Border Agents seems to be "As [they] like it". Providing any sort of privacy protection is likely to garner even more suspicion from Agents, especially those that have already made up a judgement on who is and isn't a suspect.

This isn't to say people should roll over and just open up their devices, but suggestions that will impede the Border Agents or frustrate their activities should be noted as such and readers need to be aware of the potential reprecussions so they can make an informed decision. It is important to have a staunch resistance to this nonsense, but people need to be able to choose their level of participation.

How many terrorist attacks would there be if no one was trying to stop them?
I know many wouldn't see it as malicious (especially if it was done to someone else's device), but doing it without someone's knowledge or consent does seem to cross into that territory, especially if the user didn't understand or value the benefits.

I do understand that this isn't an affect of any legislation. But if we were to have legislators who (as bombastically unrealistic as this sounds) had the best interest of the people in mind and who made informed decisions about technology, they could have passed legislation protecting net neutrality. I believe Obama tried to do something like this.

> If the FCC would get dismantled

If the FCC were dismantled, the knock on effects would be worse than the disease. No radio frequency regulation (bye bye wifi and cell phones, let alone amateur radio). No enforcement of TV content. Prepare for all the "fucks" and breasts your prime time show can fit in. Say good bye mandatory landline coverage (and the emergency capabilities thereof) for rural America (about 98% of the country, land wise).

This is, for better or worse, a very minor aspect of what the FCC provides.
"Deleted immediately" is more likely a flag in the database being set to "don't show".
Ask HN: How much importance does your company give to documentation?
I have been working in Network Software Development industry for the last 5 years. Both the companies I have worked for lacks severely when it comes to any kind of documentation of the source code. Every engineer is supposed to just dig into the code base and figure out things on their own and encouraged to ask others.

When I spend hours wading through a very large code base, I always feel the need for better documentation. Some engineers do think about documenting properly, but the vigor dies down after a while and we end up with incomplete/outdated comments/references which does more harm than good. Is this attitude pretty common in the industry? What is your opinion on this? Are there companies that get it right?
Sorry, English isn't my primary language. What I meant by suicide rates is indeed attempted suicide.

It would be really scary if all of those succeeded.

I wouldn't dismiss unsuccessful suicides. Someone who doesn't succeed or turn back before committing isn't cured or any happier and may very well attempt again or live under a black cloud of depression and stress.

As for your comment on involuntary commitment, it makes no sense. There is a well known "cure" for gender dysphoria and it is gender transition. "after treatment, 26 (2.4%) of the MTF subjects and 7 (1.4%) of the FTM subjects still reported depression"[1]. According to this study, only 2.4% still report depression after transition. There are more studies reporting similar results, find them yourself.

Edit: I've reread your post and your other post. I understand that your comment on involuntary commitment was meant if my mistake was true and the successful suicide rate was indeed 45%.

I am now sure if I can put it into words, but here are some comparisons:

- In Scheme/Lisp, you write the function name before the opening parenthesis. In languages related to C, you write the function name before. For me, the second one feels better. In general, I like the C syntax pretty much.

- In C++ you easily provoke very long compiler error messages. Go compiler messages are much shorter and much more to the point. I like the ones where I do not have to search the real error in the error messages themselves. (I heard Rust compiler error messages are even better).

- To run a go program on a computer you just need the binary, done. To compile a program you need the compiler which comes with a few cli tools, done. For java, you have to decide if you need the JRE or JDK, agree to some license before being allowed to download it from their website. In addition, you have to place the jre on every computer which should run your program. I like the simple way.

- When I design a program there are a few parts. One is the Entity Relationship Model. Sometimes I think about it as something that has to be saved to an SQL database, sometimes as an object oriented inheritance hierarchy. For both there are reasons, but even simpler is it to just think about it as a struct or JSON. This fits pretty good for designing JS and go apps.

- When I write bash script I know what a slow language feels like. I know there are faster languages than go (e.g. fortran), but I am also aware that much of the performance is in the hand of the developer (e.g. memory management). When I write go programs I feel like my efforts to make the program efficient are worth my time and the tools support me while doing so.

- Last but not least go supports then functional programming style when needed. I like that. Sometimes I miss object orientation a little, but that mostly happens when I forget what interfaces are for. And while I truly respect Alan Kay I think object orientation has been overused/misused enough, so that its ok for me, that go didn't build it into the language.

So maybe I just like 'simple'. I am sure, that for every example I listed you can find a language which does even better than go, but I think it becomes harder when you consider all examples together. Nonetheless, the list is far from complete, I just tried to write down out of my head, what I like about go.

Pymanopt is a Python version of the Matlab code Manopt by Nicolas Boumal. It adds some features like automatic differentiation. I can't speak highly enough about both of these packages. A lot of people don't realize how useful manifold optimization is. The academic community has been aware of it for a while now, but it seems to have remained a bit of a secret.

It can be used to perform SVD, phase retrieval, global registration of point clouds, and low rank modeling.

I'm (very slowly) writing a Julia port of the code, so if someone wants to take over, feel free.

When Twitter's defense against the government's request is because of the ideal of free speech, not the First Amendment but the ideal that it is based on that predates the First Amendment, then it is worth pointing out the double standard in Twitter's own behavior not upholding that ideal.

That said, Twitter having a double standard does not invalidate their argument. From a purely logical perspective, an argument does not depend upon who says it or why they say it. But rarely are people interacting on that purely logical level, and so Twitter's double standard does allow us to both poke fun at Twitter and to call into question their actual reasoning as potentially being different than their stated reasoning.

You can work to promote the issue and elect people supportive of it in the next Congressional and Presidential elections in 2018 and 2020. With enough promotion of the issue, you might get Congress to do something now in principle, but that seems unlikely; this isn't a matter of a corrupt individual at the FCC, it's the clear and long-standing policy of the party that now has a majority in Congress and control of the Presidency, and also, largely a consequence of holding the Presidency, a majority on the FCC.
