the term 'modern society' refers to a set a values, that presumably makes this society moderns

any set of values, that you have to stick to, to be part of the 'group' .. is very much a religion .. or religion-like, if we limit the term religion to only sets or values/rules that link themselves to God or a divine force

i think religion as in, set of guidelines to have or that describe a relationship with God .. doesn't necessarily contradict with progress .. or modernism
I agree that UBI could play a similar role if we can figure it out which still seems really hard at scale. I think for the dropouts they usually have a different path of living at home with all their needs met. Definitely an interesting topic to thing about. :)

But that reveals why it's such a bad question: they just have to prepare in advance and think of a problem scenario that sounds interesting and panders you, and recite it at that question. Even a faker can do that, but a legit programmer that needs a few minutes to get thinking (and hasn't come up with a cookie-cutter answer in advance) will stumble at.

That's usually known as "Chesterton's fence" [1]:

In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.

Trucking isn't a lot different. My dad has worked for a few companies where all out breaking the law is the norm. It was expected and required. The big problem is if a driver is caught, who is it on? Only the driver. That is why he is lucky to be with a company that doesn't ask him to cook his log book.

Another company would not pay for time sitting at a loading dock or line. They say you must be at point X at 9:00. You are 10th in line. At noon you finally get unloaded. That was 3 hours of sitting without pay, but yet you aren't free to walk a way.

They also wouldn't pay for time to fuel the truck. Does the truck fuel itself? I think not. From what I know it is legal to require this task to be done, but not pay for it? Just to be clear, it is a company owned truck and he was an employee.

Labor laws are a mess and I'm sure there are all kinds of industries that are in a similar position.
I see. Thanks.

The difficulty here is people don't often specify if they mean heat in the form of kinetic energy or radiation.

Much like how people say things like "releasing energy" without specifying the form of energy.
It's important to note that in the US (not sure about Norway), the revenue from a procedure, and the out of pocket cost that a person pays is not the same due to insurance. A procedure could cost a very small amount out of pocket, but still provide significant revenue to a doctor if is insurance is paying for a large portion of the procedure.
The meaning of the word "property" extends beyond "car, house, boat".
I spent a couple very stressed weeks (nights, weekends) debugging a crash that would only happen every 30 minutes or so. It looked like stack corruption, so I was trying all avenues to debug it. Nothing seemed to make sense. We finally figured out that it was a signal integrity problem on the DDR memory bus. Software was fine.

Did you see that post a few days ago about "Is ECC RAM worth it?"

The answer, after my hellish debugging is an unequivocal YES! My horrible problem would have either manifested itself as a correctable ECC error or I would have gotten an uncorrectable ECC exception. I would have been able to go straight to hardware engineering with that instead of spending many miserable nights debugging an RTOS and ISRs.

Are they actually conveying emotion, or is the kuleshov effect [1] at work? I know one of the things they teach film actors is to 'act less' when they don't know what to do. We as humans tend to interpret the actor as displaying an appropriate emotion if their face is otherwise somewhat neutral.

Seems like a questionable heuristic. It is not difficult to imagine that a person who is telling the story from scratch might start from the beginning and kinda meander around the details as they try to reach the end, precisely because they have NOT rehearsed the story beforehand.
Humans are attracted to anything that has history regardless of its usefulness. If it was done in the past, it must be done in the future, even if it is harmful. This not only applies to religion, but just about everything. It's the reason we have such difficulty adjusting our societies to the reality of the day. People seem unable to let go of the things that are holding them back. Maybe it's nostalgia. Maybe it's the fear of having to provide and defend one's own interpretation of the world. Maybe it's just a desire to relax and not have to think for oneself. Either way, it's not surprising.

Chip and signature is the norm in brick and mortar stores in the USA. Even then, many purchases will not require a signature unless the transaction is over a certain amount, typically $50. Many card issuers were too nervous to go full chip and pin in US markets for whatever reason.

Where are you getting that the takeaway was an XSS attack? There's a whole host of things wrong that the researcher finds — it almost reads like a how-to of bad security.

When you say:

It seems like you haven't read the original report. The researcher does NOT specialize in XSS (can one?), and is even lent a hand at the XSS portion. Here, read the original: https://scotthelme.co.uk/nomx-the-worlds-most-secure-communi...

Yes, unintended consequences are in play with every policy change (not just 'potentially') and they are never considered nearly enough, which is the reason there are so many bad laws (and regulations and whatnot) on the books. People are way too eager to accept that a given change merely brings the benefits that the proponents promise with no downsides.

Interestingly in the case of net neutrality, it is relevant to keep in mind that the status quo is pretty good, having provided home markets for a very large number of the world's most successful internet companies. ISPs by and large are not doing the things that net neutrality prohibits. Netflix is exactly the kind of service that cable companies should want to shut down, but it's alive, well and extremely successful (Verizons peering shenanigans aren't to my best understanding covered by net neutrality). Early YouTube famously thrived on pirated content, which would even give cable companies a semi-legal cover for filtering them, but that didn't happen. The things that are wrong with the status quo are things that aren't addressed by net neutrality: connections are crappy and expensive. But crappy, expensive connections are fine under net neutrality, as long as they are neutrally crappy.

So, basically, none of the intended consequences of net neutrality does much more than perpetuate the status quo. But it adds a large body of new rules that nobody knows what could be used for, and God knows the US has its fair share of creative lawyers. I'm thinking about stuff like getting DMCA safe haven overturned on the back of some ambiguous phrasing written in the 1970s with phone lines in mind.

But hey, nobody says anything will happen. Nothing remarkable did for the past two years. Phonelines are regulated under the same regulations, and it's not obvious that anyone are missing out because of it.
I held a similar attitude through college. An exam exists to test my knowledge and abilities, give me a solid idea of what I learned and where my deficits lay. It is not a test of short-term memory. If I didn't learn the material good enough the first time, then it was a waste of my efforts to cram for today.

Likewise with the interview. Sure, I look into the company, the requirements. If they use libraries that I am unfamiliar with, I will review the documentation so I have a general idea of what it does and how I can map my existing skills against those libraries. But I can't become an expert in that short of a time, and I wouldn't purport to be one in the interview either.

I have yet to do an interview that asked me to white board. I've been asked to solve some fairly basic problems (of the fubar variety). But then again, I've never applied to a business that was large enough that my resume and interview wasn't handled by my future direct supervisor. I've no interest in jumping through the hoops of a large bureaucratic corporation.

Yes, but who is doing the judging, and how? What does taking "moral responsibility" mean?

Laws are not perfectly correlated with morality (regardless of your ideology), but they at least provide a methodology of implementation and disciplinary action.

If I stand to gain from unethical software, and the worst thing that happens to me is some vague entity with no power holds me in disrepute, why do I care? It's not an effective code at all, it just feels good for its proponents.

Scott often approvingly reblogs things for being interesting and thought-provoking, rather than necessarily agreeing with them, but he does change his mind too. (Which is a good thing.)

Well, yeah. They don't want you upping the Amazon price to balance out their revshare cut while simultaneously using Amazon as an advertising platform/traffic funnel.

Yeah I find it annoying when high end producers complain about cheap alternatives.

I'd be willing to bet the average person probably couldn't tell the difference in audio quality between a pair of sub $50 Logitech speakers and these speakers which cost $335.00 each. Or at least, it wouldn't be worth the extra $620 for most people.

I'm not suggesting there isn't a difference (I've bought higher end headphones and speakers myself), but rather, when the difference is marginal for the average person, most people are content with a cheaper alternative that fulfills the need. We see the same with furniture and clothing.

As a designer, I can certainly appreciate the craft, care, and detail that goes into creating objects. But I also appreciate companies that produce well-designed, fully functional objects that almost everyone can afford. Like, when I was recently shopping for a desk, I was floored to find companies selling desks that were 10 to 20 times more expensive than my old IKEA desk that had zero scratches after a decade of use.

Nope, just lived below my means and invested the surplus in equities and real estate. Didn't move to SF/BA (too expensive), didn't buy new cars, don't eat out all of the time, don't buy a new iPhone every time a new version is released, no cable, no Starbucks, etc.

Sorry, no, that argument is baseless and "fake news" to coin the term. Anyone who looks into it or lives in the state knows it's so easy to get an ID in NC and you have months to get it done between election days. It's even free if it's not tied to a DL. It's seriously no harder than registering to vote, and you can do both at the same time.

https://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/driver/id/

Most of the commentary about voter ID laws here is from ignorant politically motivated journalists who find it easy to look down and judge southern states because everything they're doing must be racist and we're morally superior in every way. They don't even bother to look at what it's arguing. Sorry, but it gets a little tiring, and when it comes to this attitude of regarding southerners as ignorant and prejudice it's often the most ironic example of the pot calling the kettle black. It's harder to do something so basic as get utilities turned on in a new apartment to say nothing of a passport, and an ID would be required anyway for that, that anyone of basic competence can do it and it isn't some great imposition on them. It's not a literacy test or requiring proof of land ownership or anything like that.
Honestly, the best route IMO is to actually maintain an open-source portfolio of work. This obviously isn't feasible or possible for everybody, but if you can contribute to OSS, doing so is easily the best way continuously test your mettle and prove to your future employers, partners, and the general community that you're someone they want to (or don't want to) work with.

The true value of the face-to-face interview really should be getting a feel for the person - is this person someone I want to work with? Or will this person make me want to kill myself whenever I step into the office? - not to gauge technical prowess or whiteboard prove-you-are-smart-and-took-an-algo-class-in-college challenges
Small drones are pretty quiet, especially once they reach altitude. It would be difficult or impossible to pick one up over the noise of wind, cars, lawn mowers or leaf blowers.

Scuba divers and firefighters routinely go around with 3500psi tanks. The tanks are fittings are very safe. The only real danger is during the filling operation; there have been some rare explosions due to tank corrosion or incorrect aluminum alloys. So competent fill station operators always check for tank inspection stamps / stickers.
He was literally on the phone to United's call center when the cop pulled him forward while still belted, then sideways into the middle armrest, then mashed his head into the armrest across the aisle causing concussion, broken Nose, and lost teeth. The guy literally had to have reconstructive surgery.

Calling United's call center to get a resolution isn't a "temper tantrum." It is the correct course of action in the circumstances. A United Manager should have resolved this situation, not an abusive cop. United should pay for it and the cop should be fired and charged with battery.

A call to action: how you can help solve America’s homelessness crisis
It's a good question, and I was a bit on the fence about submitting. What made this HN-relevant in my opinion was: (1) an event which was promoted almost exclusively through social networks (and the unraveling of which is now being documented on the same networks). (2) Organizer is a serial tech entrepreneur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_McFarland_(entrepreneur) (although the article does not reflect that). (3) a target audience of millennials with substantial disposable income and a somewhat "bro cultural" outlook on life (There will be supermodels! etc). (4) marketing of a "premium" experience, promoted celebrities (cf. Juicero & countless other startups).

To me, the whole thing adds up to a genre scene with a number of intersections with today's tech culture.

When someone asks me to provide them a fixed version of their code, that's when their problem completely stops being my problem (unless there's something unusually interesting about the code, maybe).

The Princeton Audio article didn't specify but I'm guessing[1] he's using one of these 2 Amazon partner programs:

This article is not proposing a tax credit for startup workers at all. It's proposing a tax credit for everyone. It tries to make the case that this would be good for startup companies. But the proposed tax credit is NOT confined to workers at startups, at least that's the way the article reads. It says so right in the first paragraph: "a giant negative income tax for the average American." Average Americans do not work at startups.
That sounds horrific.
This actually was a Ti-83+, I just got the model number wrong. I don't recall the specifics, but I believe the flash didn't store everything I needed through reformatting, or my programs were too large to fit entirely within the flash.

I think the ti-84 actually had a USB port (or a redesigned port of some sort), which eliminated this issue.
