"Here, Officer Berg did not qualify as the appropriate witness and did not have the necessary knowledge of the underlying workings, maintenance, or recordkeeping of the Redflex Traffic System. The foundation for the introduction of photographical evidence and the underlying workings of the Redflex Traffic System was outside the personal knowledge of Officer Berg.

In absence of a proper foundation, the photographic evidence was held inadmissable."

The officer cannot be the accuser and introduce the evidence if he has no expertise in how the evidence was obtained.
You make a very good point. I think my observations are pretty similar to yours. My solution is to expand from the hedonistic goal of maximizing one's own pleasure, to the larger goal of maximizing the total amount of happiness in the world.
Mobile Growth – An Outlook on the App Store
That was what I gathered from the movie, though I wrong apparently, as someone explained. No where did I put it that I felt that way. I do find a lot of people's desire to take everyone's keys away puzzling, but I don't foresee any cartoonish supervillainy on the highway. It is odd how hyperbolic everyone gets whenever any concern is expressed, you'd think people who've seen the piss-poor code many companies run on would be a little more cautious about completely surrendering to them. It will be a great tool, but Johnny Depp hasn't transcended yet.
thanks for your comment :-) I think rather than using a web service people would use some library like the HTML Tidy. Regarding to opensourcing - I think I will rather use some opensource as a core lib for my project.
Do you really notice better stability with Manjaro or is it more about the straightforward installation and configuration? I ask because I gave Manjaro a try and I encountered many Manjaro-specific problems over time (notably, a lot of issues with their custom kernel builds). I've since been much happier with Antergos which I view as the best of both worlds. It doesn't try to fix the things that aren't broken in Arch but does make desktop configuration a breeze.
Throwaway as usual:

Just last weekend (Friday), I thought I had reached my breaking point. I could not handle my job, my friends, my parents and my side idea to the point I convinced myself that the only solution to my problems was suicide. I went on to 4chan to ask for help on the quickest solution.

The only reason I'm alive today is because Amazon does not have a quick shipping policy (what I ordered would have taken me over a week to receive). Now I'm taking one day at a time in the hope that I don't reach that situation again.

I truly feel sad for both the Engineer and his family!

It's interesting how straight forward the game becomes after you recognize the pattern. Fortunately android lock screens don't inform the users about how many correct points they choose in the pattern!
I think that might be missing the point of something like uber a bit, they could very well just rent you the self driving cars of individuals when they are not using them. Once self driving features hit most cars, companies like uber will be very well placed to capitalise on that. As software providers for the networks of self driving cars and trucks, owned by others.

If the road is usually congested, frequent traversers of that road will just get in the habit of staying left until they are near their destination. I do it on PA-22 all the time (albeit not in a condition where people need to pass me on the right), even when the traffic is light, because its what people expect behavior wise on that road.

That's a straw man, I never said either sex should or shouldn't be a scientist or whatever they choose to be.

I don't think PostgreSQL has issues with max_connections, it'll simply start rejecting new connection requests (as pointed out by davidgould).

What we see in practice, though, is that people often increase max_connections to rather insane values. There's only a certain number of active connections each box can support (say, ~2*cores, sometimes more), and it's one of the things we check whenever a customer contacts us with performance issues. Oh, you increased max_connections to 7243, it was running fine for a while and then you got a short burst of activity on Monday morning and it's crawling out of the rack? pgbouncer FTW in most cases (in transaction pooling mode).
Success comes to a degree. You don't need to be among the top x percent to be a productive member of society or have a fulfilled life, and by definition only x percent people can be in this group anyway.

In most professions, being moderately successful is more than enough, and if a company wants you to constantly surpass expectation and grow, there is maybe more wrong with that company than with yourself.

That was all my point, nothing big, in a sense it's a truism.
Not true, that had nothing to do with Yahoo. If you want to be on the mobile app stores, you have to filter adult content availability out of your app. Tumblr always had a permissive approach to NSFW content, you just had to flag your blog as such so it didn't turn up in Tumblr search reuslts.

I totally understand some scepticism, but there appears to be the archetypal response of 'Oh, I bet NASA hasn't thought of this ...' when it's inconceivable that NASA hasn't, in fact, thought of that.

Some of the most sensible comments I've seen here have basically said 'It seems to violate what we know of physics, so hopefully it's right and we have some interesting times ahead'.

It's the dismissal, out of hand, after a relatively extensive amount of research and study -- especially compared to what the armchair critics can supply -- that I find frustrating.

Yeah, sure, I get that it seems implausible, but it transcends hubris to know that it's simply experimental error.
I see a minor update on the front page and decide to skip it, but then I see 5 comments so I click through. Nope, just some whiner wasting my time.
Raymond Chen from Microsoft on maintaining backward compatibility from Windows 95 to Windows XP:

Look at the scenario from the customer's standpoint. You bought programs X, Y and Z. You then upgraded to Windows XP. Your computer now crashes randomly, and program Z doesn't work at all. You're going to tell your friends, "Don't upgrade to Windows XP. It crashes randomly, and it's not compatible with program Z." Are you going to debug your system to determine that program X is causing the crashes, and that program Z doesn't work because it is using undocumented window messages? Of course not. You're going to return the Windows XP box for a refund. (You bought programs X, Y, and Z some months ago. The 30-day return policy no longer applies to them. The only thing you can return is Windows XP.)

...

This is just the tip of the iceberg with respect to application compatibility. I could probably write for months solely about bad things apps do and what we had to do to get them to work again (often in spite of themselves). Which is why I get particularly furious when people accuse Microsoft of maliciously breaking applications during OS upgrades. If any application failed to run on Windows 95, I took it as a personal failure. I spent many sleepless nights fixing bugs in third-party programs just so they could keep running on Windows 95. (Games were the worst. Often the game vendor didn't even care that their program didn't run on Windows 95!)
Vehicle stability control isn't mandated by NHTSA, and I don't think that it's a feature on a substantial portion of the vehicle fleet.

You would have to look at what vehicle safety features were mandated between 2000 and 2010 to really see if any of them played a part in the decline in the fatality rate in the 2005 to 2015 time period.
Lyrebird is a voice mimic for the fake news era
Somewhere in the power supply, power is converted via a switched inductance, the power transfer is controlled by the switching frequency, with toughly the same energy transferred for each cycle (constant I_peak). Losses are roughly f*I_peak^2. There are several factors limiting maximum f, so to get a bigger maximum power, bigger power supplies have bigger I_peak. Thus, for the same transferred power, a bigger supply will have bigger I_peak and smaller f, but since I_peak appears squared, the loss is worse.
(This is the rough explanation, the devil is in the details)

Additionally, many power supplies are worse at load regulation if their load is too low.
I think "long range" probably will violate many countries drone laws. I'd investigate the legality before proceeding with a build project.

Programmers who only know javascript are, controversially, still programmers.
I'm most interested to see what their solution for handling INCOMING email looks like. Having used the inbound APIs with the others they are all pretty polished and reliable but have inconsistent APIs. I've always been a little bit concerned about how to handle high volumes of inbound email functionality if the prices on those services ever went up.
Is it their fault that we still haven't been able to find an elegant solution to this problem?
> It's a good thing. Most of the time for most of the people, it's better to work closer to your problem

Having a rough understanding of what memory is at a very rough high-level grasp ("numbered byte-size cells" isn't very in-depth after all) doesn't preclude one from working "closer to one's problem domain", likewise lacking such grasp doesn't bring one any closer to one's problem domain.. what am I missing?
Sounds like a bank that doesn't want my business. And that's fine if that's how they want to operate. But if a company wants my business, lightening security standards is not the way to get it.
Yes, there are programmers who only know JS.

There's nothing "wrong" with that. If you only work in Ruby, Python, JS, or even functional languages it's very possible you've never run across pointers (at least not explicitly).

It's actually something people misunderstand about C, it's fundamentally a memory-oriented language in a way functional or OO languages are not and there are some real advantages to working that way. Ironically, this actually shows through in JS with the constructs you use to manipulate arrays (cause it borrowed from C).

No need to look down on other programmers; we all gotta start somewhere.
>I would go with the guy who _purports_ to be an electrician, over the guy who specifically states that he is not an electrician.

I wouldn't hire either without seeing some legitimate qualifications.
Even if it leads you to the right conclusion, the intuition is a bit off: when something floats or sinks, it is floating or sinking in a medium. In the vacuum of space, there is no such tendency: all mass exerts an attractive force on other mass.

(however I have no idea how/why the mass segregation happens in this instance)

>Google's behavior indicates they no longer view themselves as a neutral, merit-driven internet index willing to accept the public's aggregate credibility sentiment.

Their algorithms could never be described as accepting the public's aggregate credibility sentiment. Only view and citation frequency.

If thousands of people mention/link to an article just to say "what a bunch of dreck, THIS publication is the problem with American discourse" Google would rank that article highly for whatever topic it addresses.

Google is attempting to push its algorithms roughly closer to a merit-driven index that accepts the public's aggregate credibility sentiment.

They have been pushing towards this end little by little for a long time. They already mostly solved the problem where medical questions were answered by ten psuedo-medical websites pushing deadly fake remedies and scamming the sick.

Those results come up much less often now. Look up any common disease-- the blue thing on the right was provided by the Mayo Clinic and a huge team of doctors verifying facts.

That was over a year ago I think.
> What living things do you know that go actively out of their way to experience pain and suffering?

There are plenty of masochists out there in the world. Recently there was a pretty clear example of this described in the popular podcast S-Town.
Or they could just, you know, use cruise control.

I almost never touch the gas pedal once I've reached the speed limit: I just turn on cruise control and focus on the road, rather than my speedometer. Makes me a far safer driver, with the added bonus of also being a law-abiding one.
Man, this ought to take the cake for the worst esolang I've seen...
I think we agree but we simply use different terms.

The gift I am referring to is actually being genuinely interested -- and this seems to be hard for many since they're too caught up doing only their own thing, and reacting violently or cynically in a very ugly manner <-- when advised to show genuine interest.

To understand and manipulate an emotional state is to me an acquirable skill.

Quite a funny opposite understanding we have. :) Do note, I am not gonna argue if either of us is right or wrong.
> would you do tomorrow to prevent this in the future if you were the CEO of Uber?

Resign, and recommend someone in my stead who is capable of managing a more compassionate organization into existence. Those exist - and conversely, the apparent shit-show that is Uber is driven from the top-down.

I think overall ISPs do a very good job at fighting spam. Compared to a decade and a half ago, I would call it a minimal problem.

My greatest fear is that Google and Facebook will co-opt email and charge money for companies to get access. Google has already made some progress with this by selling ads in Gmail that look like email while pushing commercial messages in to other inboxes.

This is bad because it penalizes companies with low margins while shifting the advantage to those who are able to squeeze more money out of the users (you can see the effect of this on Google Search, Facebook, and now Amazon. It isn't pretty.)

In this case, why even use api.ai? The sample cases seems very simple to just do some basic regexp instead?

I've done my own Raspberry "bot" using speak synthesizer and STT and some basic plain ruby. Using regexp it handles _a_lot_ of scenarios just by simple regexp for words such as "rain", "weather" (which then is enough to understand that I'm asking for the weather). Combined with "today" or "tomorrow" it can tell weather at different times.

I was also intrigued by using api.ai in my case but It just felt overkill.

(Perhaps I've just missed the whole point here).
Tesla receives massive shipment of robots for Model 3 production line
Surely this isn't something we need to guess at, there are roads with such systems and similar roads without and those can be compared.

Also I would think the majority of cars have cruise control (the last three cars I owned were all less than £2000 second hand and all had it) - driving at a specific speed is a button press away.
In Japan they have a name for this.. karōjisatsu.. It literally means suicide from work. I wrote about this about two years ago below. Our industry (IT) could be worse than others due to the different kind of stress it creates. Here's some work/research I have done on this.

Consciousness is a bit like the speed of light: it's defined, not measured. It's not possible to measure the speed of light because we've made this constant the basis of all other measurements. Consciousness is a lot like that: unmeasurable, and the basis of all experience.

In all frameworks there must be some unquestionable property, which defines the framework. For physics this is the speed of light, for life forms it's consciousness.
the idea itself is not bad, but the actual implementation is challenging to be reliable and secure.
Meh, it's time someone knocked them off their perch. It's the same with all these platforms. They all degrade after a few years. Their priorities change from providing a valuable service to squeezing every red cent they can out of their platform. That was probably always the plan but as soon as your agenda switches away from providing for your users, you're trash and it's just a function of time before people start jumping ship.
I really wanted to like Soulcraft, perhaps for an echo of ZAMM. But Crawford's writing lacks passion or verve, as only excess time in academia can do. Crawford's perspective remains strictly objective: ever the professor, never the investigator or mechanic. As I recall, the narrative lacks even a single hands on illustration akin to Pirsig's adjusting valves or shimming a handlebar, which left me unconvinced that the author had ever been one with his machines, much less with his thesis. Soulless.

In contrast, John Jerome's "Truck" was a light-hearted but engaging foray into the rebuilding of a 1950 era pickup truck. It lacked the philosophical ambition of ZAMM or impact, but it was an agreeable read that left me wondering what kind of renovation project I might choose, toward gaining insights from dirty fingernails.

Interestingly, I find I'm using some similar logic to what I use playing Minesweeper. "Three of this quartet are in the pattern, one of this quartet is in the pattern, they overlap in two places, therefore the two non-overlapped points in the three-scoring quartet must be in the pattern."

First try took 19 attempts, second try took 13 and I think I can do better.

You could also try something like Sendwithus hooked up to your SES account. They provide a consistent template, delivery and customer support interface for email that integrates with a lot of different providers.

It's a nice layer who's pricing works if you're sending a lot of emails to the same people over and over again. The entire setup (pricing and interface) is build around individuals sent to and not total email volume.
I handle everything through email for one reason, it's self documenting. My current job I don't have to worry, but i've worked jobs where this practice saved my butt a few times.
Surely you need to have some kind of idea of what memory is just to write:

var a = 1
var b = 2

You have to know that these values are stored in working memory, not on hard drive or Google's servers or Martian stone tablets.
> This guy says it's a eight core CPU which is just wrong.

Actually it has 8 logical cores and 4 physical cores. For all practical purposes, you have 8 cores at your disposal. I build workstations for 3D rendering and I have yet to see a tool that cares whether the cores are physical or logical, as long as you have enough RAM for each core, you can use each one to it's fullest extent.

> I wish articles like this would start with "hey, i come from a place of extreme privilege, and assuming you're in the same boat, here's what i did and it worked out ok for me given the amount of resources i had to take the risks i did."

I under your general sentiment but if you look at his Linked In (https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisfralic/) it seems to me that he worked himself into his current position slowly over the years. There are twelve years between when he graduated undergrad and where the article begins. Point being that everyone has an opportunity to work hard, put themselves in the right situations and eventually earn the right to be in a "place of privilege".
