One of the advantageous to living in California is that when I go overseas, I can tell people I'm Californian, rather than American.

This is a very scary situation, where patents were originally developed to prevent exactly this.
So your argument is that when the US says they raided an ISIS compound in Yemen and discovered plans to hide bombs inside laptops to blow up planes - this does not qualify as good enough intel to act on? You seem to be using snark as a substitute for defending your proposition through thoughtful analysis and argumentation.

Hm. You actually made me look at it, and it indeed does look interesting. Somehow, I always had an unfavourable impression about BountySource before; now that I think of it, possibly because of clunky GUI? Or, I believe it may be that the "capturing/overlaying" of GitHub Issues they do feels uncannily scammy to me?

Edit: don't fully understand it, but somehow I have a feeling it'd help me if I saw people behind the project emphasized more? I now remember I also supported the Voxel Quest author (Gavan Woolery) via his project. The "regular" (non-Kickstarter) one however was Calibre.
tl;dr they donated $200k and are helping them fix their tech including "embedded[ing] its people at ACLU headquarters in New York City" migrating it's data to "an upgraded Salesforce CRM platform." And "They're helping us anticipate what it is we want to accomplish using technology as opposed to what problem we have to fix yesterday"

> I started programming professionaly in 2005 and I can assure you that back then, outside of the browsers, people really didn't know or understand response codes.

> So while you are technically correct, the codes were in use, you are historically wrong, few people outside of a small community understood their use.

I started in the late 90s, and even back then they were commonly used. They weren't just well understood by developers, but they were actually in non-developer's lexicons as well. If you asked the typical geek back then what a 404 was, chances are they'd be able to tell you that it meant something was missing. So I don't agree with you that they were understood by "few people outside of a small community" at all. Using status codes has been standard practice for decades. Maybe it took a couple of years at the beginning of your career for you to notice them, but there simply wasn't this time period of decades when they weren't in use until REST came along.

That's not true. They do solve different problems, both are related to packaging, but still tangential to each other. You can use npm, cargo, bundler to build software which you then wrap to RPM/DEB ... system packages. I can recommend the talk that Yehuda Katz held on packaging/package managers at the Rubyconf Portugal '16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwk8mdU6-ZY It's mostly about bundler and cargo and the design decisions behind them.

Uhm that's not how it works. US can enforce a regulation saying that any aircraft entering US airspace cannot have laptops in the cabin and if an airline wants to fly to US they would have to comply with that regulation. FFA can easily impose fees and bans for airlines which don't comply.

Basically US has full control over their own airspace and can control what enters it - just like EU does with their own airspace. US cannot order EU airlines to do something, just like EU cannot order US airlines - but both can enforce restrictions on what enters their own airspaces.
The rule of three works out pretty well. If you don't have three of something then you don't really have a group you can attribute a set of behaviors to. If and when a third one does present itself, you usually have to rework things because you were very wrong about the way you organized things.
Do you feel it was ethical to work on that?

They operate under international and super national air safety authority regulations.

EU law doesn't protect your rights to have an item on a flight, while they might not be banned in the EU when flying to the US they'll comply with FAA regulations.

>intel is just bullshit just to implant those measures

If you are going to assume without evidence and offhand that everything the American government says is bullshit, you might as well go ahead and join the terrorists because you seem to believe that we support and work for an evil, manipulative and deceptive regime.

I am going to believe what the US government says about the raids until there is evidence to the contrary. I believe things on evidence and not because I hate or have an ax to grind with certain countries.

>Or do you think that terrorists are naive and won't use other airlines and origin airports?

Maybe they are just applying greater precautions to areas deemed high risk for attacks, like they have always done - did you consider that. I am not angry because the precautions cannot perfectly protect us from attack, because that would be as unreasonable and irrational as being angry that they are taking any precautions
Allow me to rebut: Someone else being bad isn't a reason to be bad. Ok, so it's a reason, but it's not a great reason. Ok, so maybe it's a great reason, but it's not a good reason. Also that's not what irony means. Ok, so maybe it's what a kind of irony means, but only in a new transgenerational sense where someone else implied to themselves something that I never said. Ah, you know what, that's definitely situational irony.

As someone working on a similar project (specifically, emotion recognition) I'm highly interested to hear how such a product should look like to be not considered unethical. So far from the comments I see that:

- it should be made clear that you are being analyzed e.g. by big yellow sticker near the camera

- no raw data should be stored

- it should be used to collect statistics, not identify individuals (?)

Is it sufficient to consider such a software as a fair use? What else would you add to the list to make it reasonable?

Europeans being self-centered? It's us not wanting to hand our computers to USA agencies, known to clone your harddrive and/or implant other crap on it.

Then why do you believe them about the terrorists being the bad guys, or even existing at all. Why not set up a nice rendezvous with ISIS and maybe talk about what you have in common.

Why believe the government about anything ever. Why do you think they are telling the truth about vaccinations or the benefit of public schools or anything if you have deemed them to be constant liars.

This discussion is very interesting.

We are currently building something that let's you donate / offer a bounty for a specific github issue. You can check it out at https://octotreat.com. Right now the money will go 100% to the owner of the repository, later we might split it so that the contributer receives 80%.

We focus on a simple workflow and to allow small contributions.

If you have any direct comments or want to support us, don't hesitate. :)
The most shocking thing to me personally is that Americans seem to think these developments are new, radical changes to the course of American policies.

I wonder how many of these things would have been possible without all the groundwork laid since 2001 (e.g. the Sept 2001 changes allowing the POTUS to call military strikes without Congress approval, the PATRIOT Act enabling mass surveillance, the ridiculous growth of the TSA security theatre, the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, etc etc). I guess it's easier to just blame the status quo on the elected buffoon than to acknowledge the overall trajectory of US politics.
Where are you getting $15,000 for the powerwall? It's $5,500 for 13.5kWh, which should be enough for nighttime loads in many houses (but may require some inconveniences, like not running the dryer at night).

You are right that it does not yet work out, it's $0.17/kWh for the powerwall (assuming you fully charge/discharge it each night) + cost for panels. Given that grid-disconnected users would want some buffer, an off-grid system probably works out to ~$0.40/kWh all in for battery-stored electricity

You could save a big chunk of this by some habit changes, most of the cost comes from the batteries, so scheduling energy intensive activities to run during the day reduces your cost for them to $0.10/kWh or so.

Honestly I am surprised how close these numbers are. I initially was sure the grid would survive in cities, but now I am not so sure. In 10 years these numbers will likely be half what they are now (batteries in particular will be way cheaper). It might all be enough to kill the grid in many places.

I was working 2 part time jobs as software developer/system admin in different cities . Though it does not count in the context of this thread as neither was remote and not full time But both my managers knew that what i was working. 8-12 one job then other job 1-4. Mind you the two jobs where in different cities and there was a commute of 30 mins between cities. Though i was junior most in both places . i guess the managers gave me leeway . I guess it all depends on your honesty and your responsibilities,
Honestly, I suspect this might be a convenient way to be able to spend more time breaking into the laptops of travelers without the travelers noticing.
White Color Whelping Box with Different Sizes
Well, yeah, I'll admit some bias here - I think cars are a cancer to cities that destroy them. I've never met anyone complaining about a lack of parking unless they were complaining about a lack of free parking. Of course, I think we could use that land as places for humans to sleep instead of cars, but I digress.

When presented with the true cost of driving, most people choose other modes. Driving and car ownership are ridiculously expensive once you realize how much you're paying for "free" parking (higher rent), "free" roads (higher taxes), and of course tens of thousands of dead people per year in the US alone. What we do now is largely force people to pay whether they drive or not, which of course encourages car ownership.

I mean, a helicopter would be a fun way to get to work but that doesn't mean we expect free helipads everywhere.
Note that SVG 1.1 doesn't have an option for color interpolation to work in premultiplied/associated alpha. SVG 2 is not finalized though, I added an issue some time ago.

It affects gradients, animations and imported+scaled raster images. Maybe other stuff too, I don't know.
For the record. The UI is based on the latest Vue 2.3.3. That's really a nice and easy to work with lib/framework. It was easier to understand and use it compared to when I tried React (half a year ago).
this idea that people are "useless" if they can't be employed by a soul-sucking corporation to make money for it is patently offensive.

Even if this is not the current ulterior motive and the reason is really a terror threat, this will eventually happen. It's just all to convenient if a foreign diplomat or businessman is coming to your country to take out the laptop and quickly insert a firmware backdoor.

Why would we expect a country that bugged the German Chancellor or provided malware that was inserted by another five-eyes partner into the telephone system that the EU administration used, not to (ab)use this opportunity?

The only relevant quote in the article is:

DHS continues to evaluate the threat environment and will make changes when necessary to keep air travelers safe."

And 4) Deep, deep blue (even though the central valley negates this a bit).

I do the same for the reasons you state. Also, because California makes me think of happy things, and the US makes me think of sad things.
I'd say learn to work hard at whatever it is that interests you. Everything follows from that.
If you haven't learnt how to work hard put yourself in environments with people who do.
The ethics are simple: If you don't get opt-in consent, many subjects are going to feel violated. Even if you assure them you anonymize the data.

It's not enough to put a warning next to the camera because you've already captured them at that point and it's too late. If anywhere it would need to be at the entrance to the store.

But guess what? Customers HATE this stuff. The backlash and lost business is not worth it. See: http://abc7news.com/business/philz-to-stop-tracking-customer...
If you told me you were "Californian", I would give you a really weird stare, think for a moment, and then reply with "Oh, American?", while wondering if you thought California was a country.

And even then, very few will know the cultural difference between, say, California and Tennessee or Alabama. Just like an American might think of China as one thing with one culture, we generally view USA as one thing with one culture.
To me the only way this could be ethical is by the project being limited to private space (a lab, a room in your house). No data is to be recorded ever, runs on an airgapped computer, doesn't try to identify people, every people subjected to it has to be fully aware of what this is about and the implication it can have.

Facial recognition is by essence creepy.
