You say it doesn't make sense, and yet you were able to figure out how to apply it correctly to the example you gave, so you have to have some understanding of the idea.

Like, in most American homes, there's a bathtub with a showerhead in it. When we're using the showerhead, we'll say, "I was in the shower..." When we're using the faucet, we'll say "I was in the bathtub." This sort of thing happens all the time. It makes plenty of sense that something is a transpiler when it's transpiling and not when it isn't.
Ask HN: What possibilities to determine if someone is in a certain location?
Hello, I'm currently building an application that can be used to process orders with mobile devices on events. The application allows self-service for guests with their own mobile device.

To get to the order process and to determine if the person is really at the event the application uses unique URLs and QR codes for each table.

The problem is that orders can still be done even if the guests are no longer on the event (even if they are logged out after a certain time), because they know the URL or have taken a picture of the QR code. Also URLs/codes can be sent to other persons.

I think about using GPS as additional check, because it's little harder to bypass, but risky if the event is indoor (?).

Are there any other possibilities to ensure that a person is at a specific location?

Thank you, btw. the application: http://www.orderlink.io

That's a rather sweeping statement, that many in the industry do not agree with.

> If there's a business rule for how that data is handled then it's most consistent to define it in the [db]

To be clear, you're proposing that all business rule validation should be implemented as stored procedures in the DB? One of my domain model aggregates consists of thousands of lines of code just enforcing business rules and constraints. Am I to put that all in the DB?

first you have to accept that there are 2 aspects to communism: communism in theory, and communism in practice. Communism in theory is supposed to be all rainbows and butterflies, but that doesn't mean a thing unless it can be successfully implemented.

Now on to the ideological murders:

- Gulags

- Political executions and struggle sessions

- Economic-political executions (bourgeoisie, kulaks, petit-bourgeoisie)

- Ideological pseudoscience leading to famines (lysenkoism)

- Ideological drives leading to famines (the great leap forward)

- Military executions for betraying the cause

- The pervasive surveillance for "counter-revolutionaries" leading to people being imprisoned and tortured for curtain-twitchy neighbours

And that's just focussing on the Soviet Union and China. I don't think you could even attempt to argue that the Khymer Rouge were genocidal.

Need I go on? You might think communism sounds nice in theory (I don't, I still think it sounds horrible in theory) but at some point (preferably before you've caused millions of deaths) you should be able to say "actually, it's a nice idea but doesn't work in reality".

To be explicit, the parts that are inherent include purging the "capitalist class", the central planning of the economy (because how else is distribution of goods going to happen? You can't scale local markets to a whole nation that produces advanced goods with long supply chains), the complete rejection of alternative political beliefs and democratic politics, and that's just off the top of my head.
This applies to sellers, not suppliers (when a product "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com"). The Amazon supplier terms and conditions are atrocious, they squeeze you like a lemon.

Well one "solution" could be to just grab "snapshots" of the camera once a second (if it responds fast enough) then close the connection.

I have a Ring "Pro" so the battery level isn't an issue and it's able to do live-view for a few hours no problem (I tried it by leaving the windows 10 app up and running on live view for a while).

Still, if it really is running SIP the whole way, then it most likely can be accessed locally without touching their infrastructure (unless they are using something custom for the Ring-Servers -> Doorbell connection...)
In order to accurattely ascertain whether thing X will fit into Y hole you have to know accurate geometry of both which is not something that can be reliably determined from results of the fuzzy classification pass. When humans want to know this they either trust their fuzzy judgement and try it or measure the X and Y in question with tape measure.

I think is the difference between atheist and anti-theist. They are united by their disdain for religion.
>> Consider issues of physical disabilities, allocation of resources, economic disadvantage and other factors that can diminish access to the benefits of software.
>Seems like some economic SJW stuff, and would you break your oath if you didn't add blind accessibility to your GUI?

If you forgot about maybe ensuring blind accessibility, then you goofed. If you were informed of this issue, and refused to seriously consider the matter, then you broke the code of conduct. If you seriously consider the matter, and decide not to implement blind accessibility after estimating the cost/time for doing so, then you are in agreement with the code.

> Could you work at a targeted advertising company or at resource extraction (eg mining)?

Environmental: I would guess the typical example of unethical software engineering is the big VW diesel scandal. As far as I understood, the Bosch engineers who wrote the offending code clearly documented that it is for debug purposes only, and use in production would be unethical and probably illegal. Were these engineers in breach of the code-of-conduct? In my view this depends on whether there is a good debug justification for the code; if not, then they acted unethically by even writing it and should have refused. The code-of-conduct requires them to think about whether such a feature is justified for debug purposes.

Did the VW people who put this into production break the code-of-conduct? Absolutely.

>> 3.03. Identify, define and address ethical, economic, cultural, legal and environmental issues related to work projects.
>This seems way outside the scope of a developer, especially if we are speaking of technical and deep fields like health care or finance.

I think that the code-of-conduct just requires that you carefully think about these matters, and accept that your personal ethical responsibility cannot be discharged by "my boss/customer told me to do this".
Not strange at all, there's a reason movies are they way they are. It depends on context, there are times to put the punchline first, there are times tell the story backward.

For that matter, there are classic examples of movies that tell the story backward, or give away the ending first.

There's some difference between headline first and punchline first, but either way the real point being made was turn it into a conversation by giving the shortest possible answer first, and letting the other person request the backstory as needed. Make sure they're doing some of the talking and driving the direction of the story. Make sure they're interested and controlling the direction and amount of your narrative.

OTOH, if you're in a setting where it's expected that you'll take ten or forty five minutes to tell a good story, then a narrative arc that increases tension for a while is probably a really good idea.
It's ironic actually. The author touts told stories of prior work as key, and degrades attempts at measuring candidate conscientiousness. Meanwhile, strongest known measures of job performance are an actual work sample (r=.26), rather than ability to describe a prior project, and measures of conscientiousness (r=.15).

Amazon doesn't allow companies to sell their product for a higher price on Amazon than on their own site (or elsewhere). This is what I assume they're referring to.

Obviously Amazon wants to push sales on Amazon, but it kind of sucks as a company when you feel like you have to sell your product on Amazon to get the exposure of your competition... but then doing so generally means a cut in your profits because you can't actually incentivize _not_ using Amazon, which in many cases can be better for the consumer and the producer.
There may be a faction that thrives on the pleasure in misery of others and specifically those who follow cryptocurrencies, but it's not hard to have major doubts about Bitcoin given it's tumultuous history up to the given point. The coin itself has had a rollercoaster of a valuation, pock-marked by fairly well trusted bit coin operations that just grabbed the money and ran with it.

The currency itself is beholden to a small group of dedicated miners and their whims, the fork has been looming over bitcoin for some time now, which is the only thing that seems to give any value to the other cryptocurrencies as if it forks it means a potential foothold for other services to get in.

Cryptocurrencies are a real mess, and for a awhile there, the fad was to attach a new cryptocurrency to whatever service you wanted to try and be "the next big thing", and it's always been ridiculous.

The idea of a decentralized currency isn't bad in and of itself, but there is a lot to laugh at in the current history of cryptocurrencies.
The scams and reduced quality are entirely Amazon's fault.

They've done very little to cut down on them. But I don't think they have an appropriate system in place for any sort of custom device like this.

Maybe they should but they don't today. The gist I got from this blog post wasn't that Amazon is unreasonable but that they expect their small business partners to match their own turn-arounds because that's part of their brand.

I think that's entirely reasonable of Amazon since they do not currently have custom product support.
See, the company should really be incentivizing this sort of thing. If you automate your team out of a job, great - you all get a pension at 33% wages as long as the company is in business and 6 months to find a new job.

Company saves a lot of money, workers are incentivized to this sort of behavior, and you could probably handle the upkeep by offering to keep one or two employees on at full pay if they'd prefer, or stipulating a day or two a month to perform any necessary maintenance on your automation.

But that's probably a pipe dream; it would essentially mean funneling capital to those who produce value, which is apparently a ridiculous concept in this modern economy.

to be honest, why not start by having cargo planes flown by AI in an unmanned aircraft?

You can have an office where drone-operator style aircraft operators can log in for 8 hour shift and then 'handover' to the next shift's operator before heading home.

I understand the sentiment of having an actual human(s) fly passengers but cargo is just -- cargo and it's not as if the skies are as complicated as the roads with rules and other manual driving cars.
> But I tend to worry about the security vulnerabilities and/or backdoors in the cameras sold for these purposes

This is precisely why I try to use Raspberry Pi's for stuff like this. Even then, I do put the devices on a separate guest wifi network that is firewalled off from the rest of my network. It doesn't keep them from being used for DDoS or as a jump point for attackers, but at least it (hopefully) keeps them out of my local network.
Genetic differences are facts, but if you think that our understanding of what they imply about society is factual, you simply don't understand science.
You understand that the figure you quote, "$34 billion dollars" might seem like it carries a lot of weight, but it's also about $2B short of the amount invested in the largest Ponzi scheme uncovered in US history[0]. A lot of people seemed to think that investors in this scheme were too savvy to be duped, as well.

This doesn't mean that crypto currencies are inherently scams, but it is a terrible way of defending them.

It's one of the most annoying fallacies I encounter in everyday life: because I fail to see the value in something - surely that something has no value.

It's such a narrow minded approach to problem solving.

On top of the benefits you mentioned, there is a mindful aspect of religion that I'm sure contributes to people's overall feelings of well-being. Everyday it seems there is something new in the news about the benefits of mindfulness.

I personally am not religious myself - but people should keep in mind that the extremists we encounter in the news aren't representative of everyone who is religious. I certainly don't begrudge anyone simply because they are religious.
If you are going to do the work of setting up and maintaining Kubernetes why not put it on dedicated hardware? It would be ~10x cheaper.
But I guess that somewhere a line must be drawn, there is a difference between a "common user" and a "software engineer", and as well some differences between people that try to help strangers on "third party" issues for free and a developer supporting his/her (paying) customers or debugging his/her company internal issues.

A good page about the proper way to ask questions/reporting problems on the internet is (was) here (among many other good FGA's), to avoid the common "I'm ill, doctor. Help!" effect:

Wait, you were selling custom items on Amazon and were shocked when they wanted delivery immediately? There are legitimate complaints to make against a company like Amazon, but you not understanding the nature of your chosen distribution channel is not one of them.
I see every religion as an opportunity to claim the founding of a new one.

You know, like software; i.e. an expression of the infinite principle.

So most of the hassle is just cultural, in my opinion, and if religion is killed, culture will be next, i.e. literature, i.e. the idea beyond the horizon, a sunset on the human mind and imagine and desire to conquer the universe, infinite and finite and all the space between.

> But they could have.

This seems sort of unfair. I mean, one of the things that has helped stabilize Bitcoin is that it wasn't controlled by a single entity, and many of the early blocks haven't gone anywhere. Several other cryptos have done poorly because some early consortium got too much control and everyone else backed off.

One advantage of the public transaction log is that it helps people judge whether they're being scammed this way. Nakamoto made a killing, certainly, but I also suspect that a sudden sell-off of the origin block would tank prices.
I've seen the best people let go only in cases where an entire department was laid off as a whole unit. In cases where people were selectively let go I've never seen it be the top performers.

That's where he went wrong. You're not supposed to break character.

As I recall concept of religious school boards was abandoned in Quebec in 1997. Plus there are other religions other than Christianity flavors. As for stats, they totally different in Quebec if one ask 'are you catholic/muslim/etc' or 'do you bel ive in god'. Also Montreal is good in converting churches to spas and condos.
You make an interesting point in the last para. I agree about the focus on outrage in modern identity politics (if you haven't already read it, SSC's The Toxoplasma of Rage [1] is the best overview I've seen), but I'm not sure it's ever occurred to me to include atheism in there.

Possibly because in my case the "outraged" aspect of my atheism was mostly a reaction to having religion shoved down my throat at school, and had largely faded by the time we got the Internet. But possibly also because I want nothing to do with identity politics of any stripe and didn't want to make that particular connection.

For those of us who got degrees in college with the word "Engineering" in the name, there's also the Order of the Engineer, which is entirely about professional responsibility and ethics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Engineer

In Canada it's known as the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritual_of_the_Calling_of_an_En...

This is something of a tangent, but I have started to wonder if the push to teach "everyone" to learn to code has resulted in a growing population of software developers who are not acquainted with professional ethics. Does anyone know, does the typical coding bootcamp or hacker school curriculum cover ethics? IIRC, ethics education is part of the accreditation requirements for both computer science and computer engineering programs.
As a side mini-rant, the Starbucks I used to go to had energy-saving motion sensitive light switches in the bathrooms. Walk in, lights turn on, after some idle period they shut back off.

Except the timer interval was way too short. If I'm taking a long shit, sure, I can deal with a slight inconvenience of having to wave my arm to get more light... But if I'm standing there and peeing, and the lights turn off, that's a pretty serious bug!
I agree wholeheartedly and think it is quite the shame. A society losses a lot of what keeps it together when it losses its religion. Often I wish I was religious for the sense of community I feel is lacking in most peoples lives, but internally I can't bring myself to believe something that I view as ludicrous or let go of my undesirable feelings somewhat akin to contempt towards "the church".

One day I hope we can get over out-group hate, but it seems to just be natural for humans . . .
Shitting on emergent tech is completely antithetical to the ethos of the "hacker mindset".

A real hacker would recognize these are the early days of a new technology with incredible potential. Its tech is disruptive enough to already grow a marketcap measured in billions, I don't know what is gained from harping on all the early failures.
You can have both, but you use a lot of vocabulary all the time in rust (clone, let, mut, static) and nobody is harping on how the most common words need to be made glyphs to save 2-3 characters per use.
Of course, I suspect that's what he means, but I also suspect that what he sees as "detrimental" effects on women are actually not.

But this is all a bit too abstract. Could you be specific of what these determintal effects are?

Please not that any attempt to "make up" some egalitarian idealistic expectations without any regard to the biological reality is definitely going to have detrimental effects on both men and women.

For example, if you try to push the idea that women, all women, should abandon the role of motherhood, because it's an "oppressive" societal expectation, and instead should chase after high paying careers, like the powerful men in society, then I think your idea (if it was like this, or similar to this) will have a detrimental effect on most women (if it were to take hold in society).
Well, nothing against metaphors, but 'war' is really not a pleasing one and it isn't useful either since truth is its first victim. Why using a title forcing the reader to assume bullshit follows.
> crypto's fantastic investment value

True, many crypto currencies are rapidly increasing in value (because of built in scarcity effects, and investor interest). But that very speculative attractiveness makes them quite unsuited as currency (because their value is unstable and generally deflationary). So you're left with a "commodity" that is unsuitable for anything but speculation. Those kinds of stories usually don't tend to end well.
>>$34 billion dollars and many of the biggest names in finance and technology seem to think there's a little more to the story.

The current state of the art is permanent batteries. The tech has been in use in black ops for at least two decades. I doubt it will be allowed to be commercialized for at least another two decades. Probably not even in our lifetimes. It would be too disruptive to the world slavery system.
