It was not Chris antagonizing the police. The police observed the filming, pre-identified Chris and Ian Freeman as being press, and then preceded to interact once they identified an act which could be used as an excuse to interfere with recording. At one point they are told they have to cross at a crosswalk. This is not a legal order. It was at most a request and it also contravenes the law in New Hampshire. One is free to cross the street outside of a crosswalk provided it is safe to do and one looks both ways. Another officer then makes up yet another excuse which makes no sense threating to summons Chris for a motor vehicle violation. There were no motor vehicles nearby. Do you know why he was arrested for disorderly conduct rather than crossing the street illegally or a motor vehicle violation? It was because there was no law being broken and the disorderly conduct charge is a seemingly all encompassing law routinely used to target protesters, activists, and the media. The reality is though Chris was not violating the disorderly conduct law as it is written either.
Ask HN: Do recruiters communicate between companies?
I was wondering - do recruiters communicate information about their candidates between companies? See who's applying with who while tracking their progress. So if you say I'm applying with XYZ they'd use their network to collect data about your application from a friend, etc.

I take your point, but we didn't reward lying here--they profited as long as we were unaware they lied. Once revealed, the ship is going down fast. This is just to say that crime pays... until it doesn't.

What would be scandalous (and still might be) would be for this to be revealed, and no one to care about it. I'm cautiously optimistic this might be the case--even Uber's bad behaviour is catching up to it.

As a consumer, I strongly dislike the direction Apple has taken since Tim Cook assumed CEO. When I bought the new iPhone 7, the previous plastic headphones case was changed to be made of disposable, thin paper. You could argue it was an environmental move, but Apple now seems to care more about maximizing profit and cutting costs in every possible area than providing a good customer experience. I mean, the original iPhone even included a microfiber cloth to clean the screen. And iPhone's seriously still come in 32GB for the base model?

The company has an excess of over $250B in liquid cash but it decides to stiffen its products to revolve around pleasing shareholders, not consumers. Let's not even get started on the disaster of catering to professionals using their MacBook "Pro" or Mac Pro line.

Given the breakdown, it seems like the juicero press could do a lot more than just pressing bags full of pre-chopped stuff. Do you think they engineered it to do more, but then ended up being unable to actually make premade bags that contained big enough chunks of fruit / veg to work?
I am wondering if the future of multi-cloud lies in a third party entity managing real-time auctions for cloud services.

1. The developer sets up some requirements: number of instances, X amount of CPU power, Y amount of memory, Z amount of storage, B amount of bandwidth, or other characteristics. These requirements are sent to the third party.

2. Cloud vendors (the "bidders") receive the characteristics needed by the developer. Each of them bid by providing a price per hour for the given characteristics.

3. The bidder with the lowest price wins the auction, sends back credentials to start deployment

4. The developer can start the deploy with the infrastructure provided by the lowest bidder!

All this may happen in less than one second, similarly to the auctions that happen when advertisers bid for displaying an ad when someone visits a webpage. This would need a massive standardization across cloud vendors, a system of penalties when the infrastructure provided by the bidder does not satisfy the characteristics, etc.

This does not too far fetched to me. It also make it easier for new cloud providers to start selling, and lower prices for developers.
I also find it funny that people get wealthy by destroying jobs not creating them.

yep. saying this is well designed because they overcome all the hurdles with brute force is like showing how awesome is your webapp random-sort algo because you have one 24 core machine per user request. just look how expensive are all those servers! look! no cloud either! not even co-locating! isn't it awesome!

I assume you don't grow all your own produce, or slaughter your own meat. My extended family does (at least mostly) and they would claim that I would have a more satisfying life if I did as well.

Where one draws the line at doing it all on your own depends on time available, motivation, and opportunity cost. I'm not going to judge people whose utility function is different than mine.
Do you _really_ find it strange? Or just rationally inconsistent?

You can define your consensus requirements when designing your system. The default is simply majority rules, though in degenerate cases (e.g. two nodes) you can have conflict.

If instead it'd been defined as requiring a two-thirds majority then that's how consensus would be achieved. The system would simply halt until that came about.

As with many things in life I would say that it's shades of grey. Perhaps they are handcuffs from day one but they haven't been latched closed yet. The longer you stay the tighter they get.

The "tightness" of the handcuffs is, roughly speaking, the % of your motivation to work there based on a previously accrued reward vs reward that is earned day by day.

With powerful enough golden handcuffs the company could reduce your salary to zero and you would still stay (though perhaps be pissed about it).

I've been a First Aider (on and off) since University days. I've been a First Aider at Work for quite a lot of the time as well. Never had to treat anything too serious but it's a good skill to have.

The change to my life came when I met my wife, whom I taught in a first aid class. One thing led to another, and a couple of decades on we're still happily married with kids.

Speaking of kids, I went in and helped get a CodeClub up and running at their school a couple of years ago. It is insanely gratifying to pass on my passion for technology to the next generation, and the quality and variety of what they come up with is amazing. It helps it was a lesson/club that they were all interested in attending (it was an optimal club after all) but any time I've done that it has been so rewarding. CodeClub has now merged into the Raspberry Pi foundation and is going from strength to strength - if you're interested in getting involved as a parent or a teacher then check them out.

Finally I also founded the DocklandsLJC user group, with the support of my prior employer. This was a great way of organising technical speakers to head over to the Docklands and lend their time for the benefit of attendees for free - I owe them a lot of gratitude, because if it weren't for those speakers we wouldn't have had anything. It also led to me being a representative on the JCP and ultimately giving a presentation at JavaOne last year, which was well received.

My advice is to be passionate at what you do and do things for the enjoyment of yourself and others. You'll never be able to predict where it will go but the outcome will always be beneficial in the long run.

Heartland is only strong in the terminal arena, their entire plan for EMV POS systems boils down to Datacap (fucking nightmare you should avoid) and Pax (which is meh). Mercury/Vantiv aren't bad, and are much more developer friendly if you need complex direct integrations, alternatively FD ISOs vary.

The least painful way to integrate is semi-integrated with Pax or Dejavoo, and that way your customer can choose from the majority of processors with minimal work on your end. Typically I see grocers paying under 1% after interchange, network fees, processor fees, etc, hence why there is motivation to deal with the legacy good ol' boys.

In theory, volunteering should help with growth. I would love to say that volunteering has improved my social skills, and has helped me network with others.

I think in an ideal world I should be able to say that. This has prompted me to think about where I am expending my energy and time.

Presently I'm happy with one of two things I am putting my time and energy in to, it provides me with unique challenges, and should, in theory, allow me to improve my social skills and networking. Sadly the latter parts seem to require extra effort on my part, but I recognize that it /should/ be providing that opportunity.

The other... not so much.
I lol'ed.
Yeah, I'd avoid direct integrations entirely, semi-integrated CC/Debit processing like Pax or Dejavoo is much less painful to implement, and costs less on hardware too. See my other comment.
Well that's a very long time for animals yes. Bacteria reproduce as fast as every half hour. In that 2000 years, that's 35 million generations of bacteria. You can go through a thousand generations in 3 weeks. And every landfill has hundreds of trillions of them. Constantly mutating and competing for resources.

Nothing in the article relates whether or not they ate ice-cream either. But the fact is that the door did not open because of power failure and that the handle was placed in such a way that a mechanical option to open the door was obscured from the passengers. if the handle would have been exposed and the door would have been jammed you would have a point. But hiding behind information that doesn't matter either way is a pretty weak defense.

I'll leave it at that. Hopefully if and when the time comes and you find yourself in an accident in a model X you and your passengers will remember to look behind the speaker grille.

>the previous plastic headphones case was changed to be made of disposable, thin paper

As a consumer, changing from a plastic headphone-delivery container to a paper one was a positive. Such a large amount of plastic that was never used after delivering the headphones to me and, I'd assume, other customers.

Amazon doesn't actively prevent workers from getting water - in fact, they're quite clear about dehydration being a problem.

However, the job is designed to push people to the limit, so dehydration being a problem is clearly acceptable to Amazon in the abstract. In the facility where I work, depending on where you are, it can be a long enough walk to the nearest water fountain that you risk getting written up for being off task if you water too often, because Amazon is "frugal" with things like that.

Most do. From the article:

"According to research published by Philip Guo on the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) website in 2014, Python is now the most popular language for teaching introductory computer science in the United States.

Eight of the top 10 U.S. computer science departments, and 27 of the top 39 (69 percent) use the language to teach the fundamentals of Computer Science."
> probably not so valid for stars as these interact via long range forces, not through collisions like molecules do

I'm guessing it should be close enough due to the inverse square root law. Just the shape of hyperbolic trajectories should provide a clue.

> the stars that move too fast will escape the system so the equipartition cannot be sustained

Again, I think this one of those "close enough" things.

Reality tends to dislike either-black-or-white approaches.

> So if you care about starving children, and apply the same rules you apply to children to insects, you'd be donating a lot to charity, basically.

> if I adhered to my own system I suppose I would have to silently watch a child get mauled by a coyote

Right. Obviously no one but psychopaths act like that. I think what you call 'non-interference' ties in with the difference between the moral weight of action vs inaction. Most people's moral intuition draw a distinction between the two, and think action matters more. The interesting thing is that you can construct scenarios where that intuition changes.

Don't know if that comic was aimed at me I can sympathize with black hat guy though I know he's supposed to be the annoying dick in the comic.

> eating ~3000 calories a day

Skinny people problems, I know, but this might be the hardest thing to do. Just as overweight people might underestimate their calorie intake, skinny people might overestimate theirs. So it's helpful to objectively track your calories.

I think I eat a lot, but can also "forget" to eat 1 or 2 days out of the week, and that makes gaining weight for me difficult.

An interesting fact of Simplified Chinese not mentioned in the article is: the discussion and conversion of using Simplified Chinese started before 1949, during the time of ROC, while PRC just inherited the idea after the Chinese Civil War.

The ultimate goal of Chinese simplification was to destroy Chinese characters at all, and to use Latin characters instead, because people believed that Chinese was the reason why China was behind the western world.

So, I get sun basket delivery. It's like blue apron, more-or-less. more attention paid to reusable / recyclable / compostable packaging (everything is recyclable officially, although you may find that plastic film isn't accepted in many recycling bins), and everything is organic (which is something I am prepared to pay a premium for). It's also local to my region (although people can get it delivered across the country, mine doesn't travel far).

I love cooking. I cook six meals a week, the seventh is take-out or off the grid or something. Three of those six meals I cook a week are sunbasket, and those are weeknight meals where I don't have to go to the store ahead of time. I don't stress the meal plans, which means I can actually cook dinner and eat at a sane hour (say, 7pm) without having to leave work early or stress about starting cooking as soon as I'm able.

I also regularly alter recipes I get, as part of the "I love cooking" bit - I add ingredients, rearrange stuff, change out the process to make it easier / simpler / better. I'm able to express myself, cooking-wise, even though the recipe is mostly fixed. Price-wise, I end up spending about $10 per person per meal. That's around 140% of my average per person per meal cost when I just shop on my own (although there's an externality here: i get more actual meals when I shop for myself, because I usually cook for at least one lunch worth of leftovers when I shop, so up the price a bit more).

Personally? I'd be happy with a box of food where things weren't pre-measured and stuff (every N weeks they send you a new bottle of coconut vinegar or whatever), cutting down on the single-serving bags that hold a single clove of garlic or whatever. I'd also be happy with someone just shopping on my behalf, but these boxes are a real bargain compared to instacart prices, so there's that.
