Because the military isn't supposed to act domestically under normal circumstances, to prevent other kinds of abuses.

So we have a federal police organization separate from the military, theoretically trained to obey the rules of domestic operations (eg, constitutional protections). And it is that police organization which handles intelligence about, eg, terrorism and foreign spies that originates inside of the country.

There are some caveats about cooperation between different agencies, but I'm not going to try and defend those as they currently exist -- the domestic police shouldn't have access to some of our spy apparatus that doesn't obey domestic laws.

However, there is a legitimate reason to have a domestic police force separate from the military, and a legitimate need for them to have some intelligence operations, to eg crack terrorist rings and track spies.

It depends on the context.

If the data-structure that you are iterating over gets mutated in the middle of iteration, it makes more sense to manually manage an index into that structure to avoid errors/exceptions.

Iterators are great for simple iteration however.

> Marxism from a logical perspective, will fail because it can't calculate.

That's very wrong. You don't need a Sears catalog to sum the costs of production/acquisition all the way to the start of the value chain. You may need input to predict the demand for a given product but that, again, supposes a market.

You seem to ignore the effects of embargos and arms races. The US can finance its colossal military expenditure by issuing long-term titles while the Soviet Union couldn't, but that won't last forever.
"This website is running long running scripts", "This website is not responding": those are already equivalents to the smoker warning that show up from time to time.

But what is any user supposed to do with a blinkenlight telling them what they already mostly know: that a website is bloated/slow/eating their machine slowly? If there was an alternative website, maybe they'd already be using it. If they thought complaining to the site's owners about it, maybe they already had or are already aware that they'd be shouting into a careless corporate void. That mostly just leaves uselessly blaming their browser for a blinkenlight that tells them something they already know and can't care about.

>Looking at this in terms of percentages is misleading

Um, per capita is the important metric.

If there are 2 million people on your planet and 1 million of them are starving, then in a few generations there 100 million people and 2 million of them are starving you have drastically reduced the rate of starvation. Malthusian predictions of the past have said that the rate of starvation/bad things happening would increase as the population increased. It has not.

If your system will handle 15-30m of Prime95 SmallFFT then you're pretty much good to go. Prime95 is real sensitive to instability and odds are good that if it's gonna crash it'll crash in the first 10 seconds.

Beyond that, just pick your burner application of choice and let it run for an hour while you go watch a movie. The rest are all kinda interchangeable as far as I'm concerned. Aida64 maybe?

(one note: I would not leave Prime95 running for prolonged periods of time. Modern CPUs are not designed for a program that is so small it fits into uop cache and runs AVX nonstop. With a heavy overclock it can pull 300W+ (potentially above 400W) on HEDT processors and OEMs like Asus have warned that it may cause damage[0]. Electromigration seems like a likely culprit meaning time is a key factor. Running Prime95 for like a half hour is fine and a great stability test, but 24H+ runs are extremely unnecessary and potentially damaging.)

(Note that while this article is regarding Haswell-E, the same logic really applies to Broadwell-E as well as Ryzen 5 and 7. Running a processor at triple its nominal TDP nonstop for a prolonged period with most of that power going though a few specific execution units simply cannot be healthy for it.)

This is a problem for some people, not all. Particularly noise pollution. I'm easily distracted and live in London and noise just doesn't bother me anymore. I used to need complete silence to sleep and now (in summer) I have my windows fully open, there are loud cars, sirens, people etc. going by all night, and I sleep soundly.

I take issue with the point about working in cafés as I see it a lot with tech people (so this isn't specifically directed at you). A café is a place for people to eat/drink and socialise and it has been for at least over 100 years. The rest of the world shouldn't have to redefine the social constraints of an established venue because people cheap out on an office and choose to work there.
Great I just now find out this existed and it is too late!

It appears to be proper judicial oversight of national security operations.

Unsurprisingly, having the rule of law applied even in the pursuit of those who seek to end it is smeared by those who would prefer to weaken the United States' national security and the institutions of liberal democracies the world over.
For a while there was a story every week about Uber on HN. Stories of high up executive hires leaving the company, blogs about their toxic culture, revelations of programs like greyball that used machine learning to help avoid government agents, their "Hell" map which uses fake users on other Taxi/Lyft platforms to track all their competitors, how Uber drivers get paid 1/3 of what they did three years ago in many cities, and the list goes on and on and on.

The place is a figurative shit show. Even if the drivers get paid the same from Uber vs Lyft, and even though all companies do shady things, I think I'd still rather give my money to Lyft than anything to Uber.
A bicycle for the mind doesn't make the mind stronger. To learn requires focused effort, and having the computer do the work for you means the effort doesn't happen.

> It's not entirely uncommon that people feel they learn way better outside of school. I'd say that's a pretty huge indication of failure, given the fact that the entire purpose of school is learning.

i did fine in school, but until my upper-level college courses, i learned much more and more thoroughly from internet research and self-guided reading. i'm a millenial, so maybe things were different for older generations, but i also lived in what was considered a very good school district. i can hardly remember anything i learned in high school 10-15 years ago, but i can easily talk about the books i read at the time.

well, i can think of an exception -- i had an excellent english teacher that taught me how to write much better essays.
I did French immersion in English-speaking Canada, and I'm very grateful for it. Learning another language and culture introduces you to another way of thinking, and learning a 2nd language young makes learning a 3rd and 4th much easier. And it's not as though I invested any more time in school than my unilingual counterparts... Just meant we had 1 less 'required' optional course, they still had to make the time up.

Unionize or professionalize with a guild structure. There is a slight economic cost to your doing so, in terms of both rent to the organizational structure and the opportunity cost of unethical choices foregone, but organizing the only practical response to organizational pressure upon the individual.

Have you ever considered that the ideological opposition to collective action and glorification of individual liberty that obtains in hacker culture is in fact a form of social engineering expressly designed to disempower you and prevent you from threatening the social structures that rule your life? While public companies are nominally semi-democratic and allow open access to participate in their commercial rewards, in practice almost all large firms are dictatorships and operate on the same pragmatic principles as dictatorships.

It's baffling to me that so many people who conceive of themselves as free individualists are in such a rush to put themselves as the disposal of autocratic rules. Meanwhile the open-source movement systematically cuts itself off at the knees by displaying an irrational antipathy to any sort of private profit, thus ensuring a steady supply of free voluntary labor which is economically unsustainable for anyone who isn't willing to live as an ascetic.

IMO the entire 2.4ghz public spectrum block should be viewed as for legacy support. However far more spectrum should go to limited range use. (Also, building walls should have filter meshes that absorb frequencies not designed for use with mobile computer to cell towers / GPS).

I almost forgot another interesting use of this second feature: package managers and binary distribution. Knowing that version 1.2.3 of some app was published a month ago is nice.

I have a similar problem on my iPhone. I have it set to silent ring at all times, and I have extensions like NoMoRobo installed to defend against known bad actors, but I would much prefer a whitelist solution.

Now that Twilio is doing a beta test of their version of Functions/Serverless, I've been thinking I might be able to write my own whitelist-only phone service. Problem is, how do I get the approved calls from Twilio back to my iPhone? And how do I do that without exposing that method to robocallers?
It always amazed me that during their ~10 years of existence they never actually produced anything visible, other than demos. I remember I had been very excited about their "intentional" approach, even though so many years later I tend to think that it is actually an evolutionary dead-end (anyone remembers 4GL and 5GL languages? The late 90s when CASE tools and visual IDEs like Delphi were all the rage?). There is no silver bullet.

I'd love to be proven wrong, though, and hope to see some of the "intentional" stuff in any real software product.

Kotlin for Java Developers – Free Until June 8
Having been severely burned on two occasions by taxis booked for a flight, which didn't show up, and the dispatcher not caring at all and telling me another car would come in "45-60 minutes", by which time I would no longer need to go to the airport as my flight would have left without me... Well, I would trust pretty much any other option before I would ever try to use a traditional cab for an early morning airport trip again.

I think you're missing the point, maybe because you too went through a traditional school? Most kids in traditional schools who don't want to do math or read because they don't have something hard or interesting to motivate them. But in free school settings the focus is first on what you want to accomplish and then how to do that, which most often then involves learning to read, write and math as an avenue to achieve something greater. It's similar to your pianist example but the motivation is internal. I wouldn't want to force any child to continue doing something they don't like just because I see value in it. I highly doubt "all great piano players" have been coerced that way. And those who have are probably out of touch with what they really want to be doing. Just because you can be great at something doesn't make it your calling.
It's easy to run if nobody's chasing you, and it's easy to hide if nobody's looking for you.
I'll second this suggestion, but I want to add one more thing. I suggest also writing a number 0-9 at the beginning of each line in said TODO.txt that represents some degree of priority, whatever that might mean for your project.

If you do that, you're consequently allowed use of, e.g., `sort TODO.txt | head` to figure out what to work on for the week. In addition, you can add in a regular review cycle to re-evaluate priorities, and that's all then kept in version control with the rest of the project.

It also happens to tick the capital-A Agile checkboxes, and when you grow past the point where you have strictly hackers on your team, the lift to move to another, more manager-friendly project management tool isn't nearly as arduous.
That is not true, all newer (than 802.11b) frames are encapsulated in a 802.11b frame, precisely to be compatible with it.
At IEEE there are always discussions about to drop compatibility with 802.11b but usually someone reminds that in fact it is not a real problem.

What is a problem is that the preambule time is wasted, but it would not be too hard to imagine that even this preambule could be used for newer amendments after some homework.

I think you're confusing with having a united Canadian identity/culture/nation (à-la-PE Trudeau).

Also, nowadays, you probably want to speak more than two languages, or at least have some understanding of more than two languages. I'm always amazed by how many people in the US speak either French or Spanish or both (although, sure I have a very biased experience, being in tech circles). Tear down walls, speak multiple languages, it's 2017 and we have a global economy, adapt.

We should also ditch the myth that "you can be anything you want to be."

Not everyone has the skills, ability, or temperament to be a [choose: doctor, janitor, software developer, plumber, assassin, author, etc] and be successful at it. And there's nothing wrong with that. Not everyone should go to [choose: college, vocational school, Hollywood].

Let's stop with the idea that there is One True Way to be "successful" and encourage kids to experiment, learn, and help them explore what they're good at not what we want them to be good at.

10 Weird Tech Facts That’ll Blow Your Mind
Your experience with two children vs Gatto's experience with hundreds (thousands?) as a public school teacher for years.
Let me preface this with: I'm quite drunk, and this is probably a lot more ranty than I intended. I have read it through a couple of times and I think it holds up even when sober, but I'll let you be the judge of that. I don't think I'm being dishonest or frivolous.

As you say -- as far as I can tell -- it's probably "just" about honest communication... or maybe you're just irresponsible! (That was a joke!)

Just out of curiosity when+why didn't you "do something I said I would"? Of course you mention that you don't remember her saying it, but that just leaves the question of... why don't you remember it? I'm not trying to be an asshole, I'm really curious about this dynamic.

My "troublesome" friend person is probably very similar to you -- not having access to your or his internal monologue, I can't be sure -- but honestly, I think maybe he's just prioritizing badly, if you know what I mean? Maybe he lacks empathy to see how much distress his procrastination sometimes causes?

I should also add that "we" have obligations to third-parties[3] which means that his procrastination sometimes means that "we" + "others"[2] have to do 24h+ shifts just because he didn't prepare/do-it-in-time. Just out of curiosity, is this this something you would do (intentionally or not)?

(I won't lie, that shit is stressful. Even if you want and are willing to get it done on time this "$X isn't quite ready" thing is extremely stressful until "you" get it done.)

[1] Because Psychoanalysis is mostly bullshit.

[2] External accountants and that sort of thing. It's absurd how far this procrastination (about fully known calendar dates) is.

[3] Think drug cartels... or the Tax Man. Take your pick! :)

Apps on cell phones can also be updated over time. I've got a GPS already in the cell phone that will measure speed etc, and as I replace the cell phone that hardware will get better over time and support more features from an app.

Bikes, on the other hand, don't tend to be treated as a disposable / frequently upgraded thing. You're asking customers to buy in to a fixed set of hardware for a dozen years. That means you've got to provide some really significant value to the equation, and offer something that is just not even remotely possible with an ordinary cell phone.

So far as I can figure the only thing you offer in that regards is blind-spot detection sensors, and that seems like something I could realistically expect to see from bicycle electronics companies within a reasonably short time frame, for way less than $500.

I'm still not sure what exactly your significant value-add is. I'm not trying to shit on you or your product. The bike looks great. I just think you need to think very carefully about how you are marketing it, and what exactly you're offering to persuade someone to pony up an additional $500 or so over a normal bike.
