> Everybody is trying to play amateur ... attorney

Including you.

You're right that it's not the responsibility of police to determine all details of who's right and who's wrong, especially considering contracts that can take days for a trained contract lawyer to understand. They do have a responsibility to ensure that the person requesting removal is the owner of the property, and the person being removed is not a co-owner, but that's about as far as it goes.

However, that's not the only issue being discussed here. Just as we should get too hung up on the "FAA regulated aircraft" portion, we shouldn't get hung up on the "police role" portion either. The more important question is United/Republic's role. Were they in a position to require this passenger's removal, or was that breach of contract? What about the issues of crew logistics and voluntary-deboarding incentives? If you want to broaden the focus, let's broaden it all the way.

> Some people choose to not deduct any [...] this feels like playing with fire to me

Well it should, because it's not really legal. If you aren't having taxes automatically deducted then you're expected to pay quarterly estimated taxes. And if you should have been having taxes automatically deducted and underpay by too much, then there's a fine associated with it.
One concern I always have in the back of my mind about NZ is seismic activity. I thought of it since you mentioned Christchurch.

It's unlikely to be seen as a major downside by those living in California and along the Pacific Rim, and it's clear NZ is no worse than Japan in terms of seismic risk, yet an advanced economy with plenty of people thrives there, to put it mildly.

But coming from the US midwest and then the southeast, where these issues are seldom a concern, it makes me nervous.

What are your thoughts on that?
A lot of valid points, but what problems did you encounter with source control? I have worked with big commercial projects with Unity3d, and maintaining all assets serialized in text didn't bring much pain with a minimal discipline.
NZ doesn't, but the US definitely does which is infuriating when you're considering moving to a country with a top rate of 33% and no capital gains tax! Also, there is a tax treaty between the two countries to prevent double taxation and the US exempts up to ~$100k of foreign-earned income I believe, but if you're a high earner or make serious profit on property and/or stocks you could find yourself writing a big check to the IRS to make up the difference (not to mention the hassle of filing taxes each year).
Ask HN: Estimating AI/ML Compute Resources
Putting aside the knowledge, code, confirms, hardware,datasets, etc. to do a full build, are there any common ways to estimate the compute resources required to do ML learning for a given ML method over a data set of X size?
That's why I mention that it's very biased by my 'European culture' sense - old villages, medieval castles, places you read about in the books etc. In NZ, the oldest building has less than 200 years.

Of course, the Maori culture is amazing and I'm eager to learn more about. It's just that I feel like my kids will miss something I had the chance to experience.

I went out of my way to buy a vehicle with no GSM chip built in whatsoever (that's not easy in 2016). Car companies care as little about protecting their tech as they care about trying to fix USAs lovely car dealership system.

I know this post is about a dongle, but you can remove a dongle from a car at least. You can't remove the GSM chip from most new cars that's uploading your location to heaven knows where and how many people have hacked their database this week.
...one of the items on my Very Long List Of Potential Projects is a self-hosted compiler for a proper modern type-safe C-like language for the 6502. I was planning to target the BBC Micro, as it's the only 6502 8-bit I've found with a real operating system, but it ought to be easy to port.

Making it self-hosting means lots of interesting design choices: I was planning that it'd be a multipass streaming design, where each stage would consume tokens from the previous stage and write out tokens for the next stage, keeping in-memory as little state as possible; depending how much RAM you had you could pipeline stages together for faster compilation, provided you were willing to have less memory available for symbol information.

One other interesting feature is that a lot of these early processors don't really do stack-relative addressing, so stack-frame-based languages like C and Pascal generally work really badly. (The Z80 failed at this, too.) The solution here is easy: forbid recursion. Now there are no stack frames! So each variable is effectively static. This simplifies the design no end, as well as playing to the processors' strengths in being basically memory-memory architectures.

Deciding what variables to put where becomes an easy and effective exercise in optimisation. On the 6502, placing frequently-accessed variables in zero page makes the code smaller and faster. Walking the call tree and figuring out which variables are never used at the same time allows variable storage to overlap. And since calling a function involves copying values directly from the caller into the function's parameters, which are just static variables like everything else, then if you can find places where the value lives at the same address in both the caller and the function, then you can skip the copy entirely...

Ah, well. Maybe one day.
Why Product Managers Are Not Mini CEOs [Audio]
Ask HN: How to set up a tech stack/engineering practices for a new team?
I'm currently talking with a non-software tech startup that is currently hiring several developers to create a new product. And it sounds like they don't really have explicit engineering practices or a tech stack. So if I ended up there I would be taking a lead role in defining practices and the tech stack. So I was wanting suggestions for several things.

What works well for git? I'm currently looking at gitlab and github but I haven't really spent much time researching the differences. I don't want to self-host the repo.

What project management apps would be useful? I'm wanting bug tracking, code reviews, and some kind of project management software. I used Visual Studio Team Services a couple years ago, and liked it, but I'm not attached to any one product.

Should I use continuous integretion, and what level of automated testing should I have? I've heard some complaints about running unit tests before any commit?

And should testing and code reviews be required for all commits? It's a small startup so there might be some pushback. I don't think they currently do any of that.

The dev team will probably be between 5 and 10 users right now. They are developing a windows desktop application and use AWS. So a setup that works with windows and linux would be good.

Does anyone have any other general suggestions?

Beautiful assembly language, and a software assisted video system combine to make a lot of fun. It's possible to output video that closely matches the 8 bit era and then add sprites, etc...

I had a lot of fun duplicating old school effects, displaying images with artifacts, etc...

You can get a dev board, or just wire one up on a breadboard. Easy.

There are 6502 and Z80 emulations done too.

The real fun part is this chip is a concurrent multiprocessor. Makes combining a 6502, say video system and sound easy and fun.

I ended up learning a ton and have sense used the chip for some industrial R&D. Nice spiff, for having a play.

The new Fedora Project mission statement
I love how trivial it is to get unique disposable environments for each GitHub pull request automatically w/ Heroku.

This post talks about how to enhance review apps with automated post-deploy QA testing. In short:

- push commits to GitHub PR

- CI builds the code

- Heroku deploys code to a temporary environment

- Assertible runs automated tests against unique Review App environment URL

- Assertible flags GitHub status check as pass or fail, dependending on the results of the tests.

Interested to hear how other people are executing smoke tests & acceptance tests _after_ deployments.
Why package articles up into a quarterly "magazine"? That doesn't make much sense on the Web. Why not publish the articles in a blog?
> All those issues have already been solved with a simple ticket system (github issues, JIRA tickets etc'). Why reinvent the wheel? What is the benefit here?

The #TODO comments live close to the code. If it gets updated (whether that's an actual fix for the tech debt while working in the area, or removing code altogether due to refactoring, there's no guarantee that the ticket will get updated - and then you spend time trying to figure out which actual tech debt tickets are up to date or not.

It also means that they're easily discoverable - you can stumble on one while working on something, without having to hunt through Jira for what to fix. You're also likely to understand how to fix it without having to come up to speed, since you're already working in that code.
The implication is that they're working directly with leakers. It's pretty hard to imagine that a PPT would be left on operational assets where tools are traditionally found.
Perhaps it would be easier to have the government collect all of our income, subtract the taxes, and pay us the difference once a year. That would be even simpler.
I mentioned that stability is a concern for me. Don't you think Arch Linux feeding packages from upstream might not be ideal for me? That's the reason I highlighted Debian testing instead of Debian unstable.

I've used Slackware before, and it was an easy look into the system; except that package management is a bit stressful on Slackware, and its packages are not so up-to-date.

I'm running a VM with FreeBSD now; how suitable it can be for a laptop, I don't know yet. Battery life matters there too.

Fedora looks good; I already have a Fedora 24 disc, so I might go from there instead of Slackware. openSUSE tumbleweed looks great too. I'll probably try it.

The chip8 emulator is definitely good. That sort of thing counts. You could add a JIT. :-)

You might want to see what you can do with an interactive disassembler. Your choices are:

1. IDA Pro freeware version -- this is x86 only and kind of obsolete

2. IDA Pro demo version -- this is wonderful except that you can't save your work and it times out after about an hour

3. Hopper -- this is cheap

4. Binja (binary ninja, from Vector 35) -- mid price

Grab some firmware updates off the web, especially for things you happen to own, or some normal executables. See how well you can understand them with the interactive disassembler. You might need to decompress them; look for magic numbers that indicate compression.

"emt02 17 minutes ago [-]

1. Have you actually read my comment? I explicitly said that I think that Marxist's view of dictatorship of proletariat as a means to reach communism is fundamentally flawed and wrong"

Have you read yours?

"1. the "slavesystems" you're talking about (I guess you refer to soviet russia, china and other similar dictatorships) never applyed the Marx theory, but they rather implemented a state capitalism system "

You were refering to Marxism i answered to that.

And I did not.

"Claiming anarchism (for instance, but the same can be said on communalism and many others) is the same of communism in regard of authoritarianism"

By saying "same direction".

But staying on topic, yes in theory anarchy is about anti-authorian. But applied that never happened. I read some history(spain, hungary, etc.) and have quite some first hand experience, with so so called anarchist who act pretty much despotically if things get serious.

And I also can't imagine how you take
things away from others (the capitalist) and not act authorian while doing so.

Yes, I may have that wrong. At the time I was a contractor so the fear was the following situation per "If you're a New Zealand resident, you're taxed on your worldwide income."

If we wanted to eventually become residents of NZ, which we did, and I was obtaining income in the US, NZ and US would both tax me for that income.

It seemed, however, less likely that NZ would approve me for immigration if I was not intending to contribute my talents to a company within NZ, so in that case, if I obtained a job in NZ, I would be taxed in NZ, and US would again tax me as well for that income due to US citizenship.

Nit: some still are separate cities. E.g., Santa Monica, West Hollywood.

Although OP is right in that what most people think about is the city of Los Angeles generally encompasses most of what's in the county of Los Angeles. So his central point is still valid.
Rise of private debt creates fears of a bubble
It would for sure be a concern - and to be fair I don't know a whole lot about the risk other than it seems to be a volatile area - but probably no more so than the hurricanes, tornados etc we see here in parts of the US. From what I understand, the seismic risk is greater along the fault lines which run through Wellington and the South Island, so if you're based in Auckland you're probably more worried about a volcano suddenly springing back to life than you are an earthquake!
You can absolutely find better deals elsewhere, but I find once I get my ~10% back at the end of the year, it all averages out.

And anyway, I like supporting such a consumer (member?)-friendly company, and their return policy is top notch. I don't think twice about returning crap gear, and they don't think twice about accepting it -- and it feels like it benefits all of the members, because it feels like they care about my complaints and they likely won't sell the same junk for much longer. Whereas it feels like other stores will just sell whatever makes money.
This is actually a pretty cool workflow for teams on GitHub: set up a suite of smoke tests to run after every push on a PR, before manual QA, and before prod.

I'd love to hear how other teams run automated tests during development or any similar workflows.

I've never hacked assembly on an AVR, but I have on the MSP430, and it's a really elegant architecture to work on; expressive enough to let you get stuff done without hurling your development board at the wall, but constrained enough to make figuring out a neat optimisation both satisfying and useful.

Also, the MSP430X has 20-bit registers, just for that added level of surreality.

However, even I have limits: stay clear of PIC12. It's just... bizarre, and not in a good way.

(Somewhere I have 2/3 of an 8080 emulator for the MSP430, written in machine code. It ran on the basic Launchpad, with 2kB of RAM, and booted CP/M using an SD card for storage and an external serial SRAM device for memory swap. Sadly, while I got it talking to an AT keyboard, I never got a screen to work, and I've since broken up the hardware for other projects. The emulator core was 1kloc of assembly. The 8080 is surprisingly orthogonal.)
Improving yourself is a different thing: That's free, and I can use my free time to do that. And I do.

The value I provide people? That's a weird thing to look at. I mean, I don't generally cause people issues at a workplace and I make sure I do whatever I am doing for work to the best of my ability. I like to make others' jobs easier as well when possible. That's just standard operating procedure.

But lets face it: Most jobs pay average pay for their field. Most average pay isn't exactly "get rich" pay. The odds of getting really high pay - the sorts that would make me retire early - are even fewer, especially the sort that don't expect years of 60-80 hour workweeks to get to that point. These are the jobs that have astronomical odds to land, especially if you are in your late 30's now. Not quite lotto odds, but still bad enough not to bet your life on.

Most times, it just doesn't seem worth it.

And to tell you the truth, if this were something I wanted, I'd not have moved to Norway. I'm not a skilled worker, and though I've taken a couple of years of language courses, my options are limited. On the other hand, I enjoy the hell out of my life - which is all I really wanted anyway.

Value I provide people? Psh. I can volunteer to spend time with elderly folks that want company. Still fufilling without having to give up my entire life.
Bullshit.

Pay more or lower the criteria without lowering the pay and you'll see.

I'm not convinced all of those things are done via mode eight, but rather, by direct CAN bus access. I know, for example, some models of cars only expose a limited number of actuators over mode 8, mostly emissions stuff.

Do you have a reference? In any case, "mode 8" is a subset of what unconstrained CAN bus access gives you.

Edit: The best info I can find is in this whitepaper: http://www.autosec.org/pubs/cars-oakland2010.pdf

You can see packet dumps on page 10. These aren't obd-ii packets. They are CAN bus "DeviceControl" packets. These are the ones they used to manipulate braking, etc.

The context I'm trying to convey is that a dongle that exposes the OBD-II port wirelessly should probably expose only the "safe-ish" parts of OBD-II. No direct CAN bus access, no access to mode 8, mode 4, etc.
